TOKO BUKU Reviews of English language books on Indonesia

by Bill Dalton

Beads of Borneo by Heidi Munan It takes a skilled writer to keep a reader engaged on the subject of beads for 144 pages, but Beads of Borneo manages to do it.

Tracing the history of Borneo’s b e a d trade, this attractive and eminently readable book llustrates the beauty, the variety and the mystique of the colorful culture of beads on the third-largest island in the world.

Ever since teeth, bones, shells and stones were perforated and worn as body ornaments, the indigenous people of Borneo have used beads since time immemorial. Valuable beads were once sold instead of land to raise cash, exchanged for slaves or buffalos, used to adopt a child, traded for household commodities or as part of a ¿ne for a wide range of offences, given as a dowry or engagement gift for an aristocratic bride. There are protective beads, dangerous beads, supernatural beads, beads to pay an artist, beads for the nursing mother, special beads worn during childbirth, infancy and childhood. A man buried without beads tied to his wrist would be blind, lame and deaf in the afterlife. Murders were even committed to acquire particularly powerful beads.

Borneo beads were not actually made in Borneo. Beads, including all beads in circulation today, reached this huge island as imports from India, China and Europe. With the influx of overseas trade beads and colorful artifacts, semi-precious stone and sparkling glass, tastes and preferences in beads have changed immensely over the last 100 years and demand for beautiful vintage and contemporary beads is now booming in the art capitals of the world.

Heidi Munan, the honorary curator of beads at the Sarawak Museum, has drawn on her tremendous amount of independent research, ¿eldwork and explorations of Borneo for more than 30 years. Since the boundaries, which divided the island into “Dutch” and “English” territories, are simply lines drawn on a map, the author has gathered her materials from both sides of the border, covering the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak, Brunei and the Indonesian territory of Kalimantan.

Extensive attention is paid to the elaborate and complex use of beads both in everyday and ritual life. For readers not familiar with Borneo, the opening chapter about the life and culture of remote inland societies – from the Orang Ulu and Kelabit to the Maloh and the Kadazandusun - are systematically examined through the beads they wear. The summaries of a relevant tribe’s origins, language, farming practices, exchange and trade connections, crafts and textile traditions and bead culture can be referred to whenever bead types are discussed. Curiously, the book’s one map does not indicate the locations of these diverse mix of peoples.

We learn the signi¿cance of a number of speci¿c bead types from around the world that are used for jewelry and costumes. Some of their origins are not known with any certainty. For example, the prized lukut sekala or rosette bead – Borneo’s King of Beads – may have been made in ancient Egypt. Extremely rare, only around 75 exist on the whole island.

Brilliant full color and black & white photographs of necklaces, bandoliers, headbands, wedding outfits, beaded hats and skirts and heavy bead and shell embroidery dripping with beads show each ethnic group’s distinctive dress and are a feast for the eye. The picture credits indicate the venerable special collections and

institutions that these amazing images have been borrowed from. It pays to give the extensive captions careful reading as they contain important supplemental information.

An unusual section covers the role of shamans, sorcery and animist beliefs in Borneo societies. The impact of Christianity is hardly mentioned. A whole chapter delves into the powerful healing properties of beads among the upriver tribes, how beads protect the soul, allay the spells of enemies and ¿ght against armies of malevolent spirits.

Four pages deal just with glittering beaded baby carriers, the ultimate Borneo icon. Embellished with ¿ne “panels” of high-value beadwork, these dazzling relics demonstrate and preserve the user’s status. So precious are they among a family’s heirlooms that they cannot be bought. The exquisite specimens illustrated in the book date from the 19th century.

The book is full of legends, myths, folktales and weird superstitions - some charming, others terrifying - that supersede organized religion. Hair-raising anecdotes of curses, miraculous rites of priestesses and the use of warrior beads, ¿ghting beads, magic beads and beads used to invoke spirits can make your skin crawl.

Practical tips abound: caveats for present-day collectors, dealers and tourists that should be exercised while shopping. The “Borneo Witchdoctor necklace” so beloved in curio shops are about as authentic as plastic jade. The bulk of the pretty beaded baby carriers now available in the bazaars of Sarawak, Sabah and Kalimantan are brand new, made for the tourist market. No infant has ever nestled in them and the “leopard teeth” dangling from the rim are carved of deer horn or made-in-Java ¿berglass. On the other hand, the junk shops, flea markets and antique dealers in London and San Francisco often turn up old and valuable beads at bargain prices.

Bead use and fashion change constantly. Ornamentation has become more lavish with old and new beads, “male” and “female” beads, “strong” and “weak” beads all mixed together. It’s now fashionable to wear attractively strung beads with modern attire, going especially well with severely tailored office wear or “ethnic chic” designer clothing. Today’s marketplace includes beads used in such arts and crafts as sashes, belts, baskets, lampshades, pencil boxes and cellphone pouches.

C/Ns/I-05 March 14

The last chapter, which also serves as a glossary of terms, gives detailed descriptions - colors, shapes, sizes, origin, rarity, value - of beads that are either of historical interests or are still commonly found in most parts of Borneo.

Although beads no longer are believed to have any ritual or magical power, this doesn’t mean that people have abandoned beads. More beads are available today than older generations ever dreamed possible. Beads used to embellish traditional costumes are still highly esteemed for their color and beauty. Songs are still sung about famous beads, heirloom beads are divided among relatives in an inheritance. Drawn out legal battles are fought over “lost” beads that were lent to relatives. Some status symbol beads only persons of suf¿ciently high rank may wear lest they be threatened with illness or madness. Beads, along with birth certi¿cates and diplomas, are often the only objects taken Àeeing from a ¿re.

This stunningly produced coffee table book for the collector, dealer and stay-at-home tourist tells the intriguing story of the island’s rich diversity of tribal groups who keep alive a form of body decoration that is as old as human history itself.

Say What?

Dr. ZZ: You’re setting yourself up for a disaster. If your wife truly wants another child, and she thinks the two of you can’t have one, guess what comes next: in vitro (where she’ll find out you lied), surrogacy (which will cost you a fortune, and she’ll find out you lied), or adoption. Any way you look at it, you’re not going to come out of this unscathed; so you might as well tell your wife the truth while you can without further complicating the situation.

Tell her you had a vasectomy because you didn’t think the two of you would be having any more children. Then, before you segue into the conversation about whether or not you want more kids, be sure to apologize to her for not having told her about the vasectomy earlier. Just because she wants another child doesn’t mean you have to want one too. It’s a fair discussion. You already gave her one child; there is no requirement that says you have to want to have another. Talk it out, and come to a compromise solution. But, whatever happens, be prepared that she’s going to be angry at you for having withheld that you had a vasectomy. As far as “It’s my body, why can’t I do what I want with it?” you gave up that privilege when you got married.

Question: My libido seems to have taken a one-way trip south. It started in my late twenties after a series of relationship failures. Now, since I hit thirty about three years ago, I haven’t had sex at all. The trouble is I’m looking ahead toward the rest of my life, and I don’t want to die alone. While I don’t miss sex, I do miss affection and sleeping in the same bed with someone. I also miss my younger, more libidinous self. I was a lot more fun then, and I genuinely don’t know if I’m ever going to be that person again. I’ve thought about becoming a slut, which may have the ability to re-awaken my dormant sexuality. But unfortunately, where my body goes, my heart often follows, and I don’t want to put my emotions through the kind of rollercoaster ride it might entail which, now that I think about it, may be why I abandoned my slutty lifestyle years ago. Nevertheless, whether being a slut or being in a

long-term relationship, there’s a whole world of human experience I am missing out on. Can you please tell me how to turn this around?

Dr. ZZ: The best way to turn anything around is to pivot in the opposite direction. For starters, you can stop defining yourself as a sad and lonely spinster whose singleness is a disease that needs to be cured. Even if you’re only joking, which it doesn’t appear you are, self-deprecating jokes are not productive. You need to begin reminding yourself that you are attractive and that your body is attractive. During a dry spell, it’s easy to get disconnected from your body and to forget about putting the extra maintenance into yourself that lifts your spirits and makes you feel better about yourself. How about getting an awesome new hairdo or a full body massage? Lying naked on a massage table and letting a professional rub your tensions away helps connect you to your body and makes you feel more alive in your skin.

Of course, you don’t want to ignore the fact that it may be a medical issue. If you’re not masturbating or even thinking about sex, it could be depression. Taking certain medications, not sleeping enough, and getting insufficient exercise and/or nutrition can affect you. You may want to take some extra vitamins, get yourself checked out, and make sure your birth control is up to snuff. This may also require seeing a therapist or journaling about past relationships. Everybody has baggage from childhood and previous loves. If you take the time to explore yours, you stand a better chance of not punishing people in your life currently for things that happened in the past which were not their fault.

Take baby steps to change whatever doesn’t feel great about you and, if there’s been something that you’ve been putting off for the magical future, do it now, or start it now.

Do whatever you can to skew your life toward pleasure.

Even if you don’t find someone, and you remain single for the rest of your life, you’ll be a happier, more productive person if you make a practice of going after what you want in life. Eat for pleasure, acquire a few sex toys, or read some porn. Jump kick your life, and be awesome. You have to get back on the horse if that’s what you want, and it doesn’t have to be in a slutty way. If you know that physical contact without emotional connection is not your thing, then don’t go there. In the end, it’s all about paying attention and making yourself feel great, not about pleasing anybody else.

Question: About five years ago I decided I didn’t want any more kids, so I had a vasectomy and didn’t tell my wife. We have one daughter already, and that’s more than enough for me. Now, about a month ago, my wife told me that she wants to have another baby, and she has stopped taking her birth control pills. We’ve been trying, but obviously she won’t get pregnant because I haven’t had the vasectomy reversed. It’s my body, why can’t I do what I want with it?

Should I let my wife assume we can’t have more kids, or should I tell her I had a vasectomy?

UBUD WRITERS READERS FESTIVAL

Barnyard Animals and Fierce Women Women of Letters’ Marieke Hardy and Michaela McGuire

By Renee Melchert Thorpe

Women of Letters started quietly enough on the afternoon of March 28, 2010 in Melbourne’s Bella Union Bar, with half a dozen women reading what they had composed in response to Marieke’s and Michaela’s request: Write a letter to the “The Night I’d Rather Forget.”

Right from the start, all proceeds were earmarked (along with all royalties from the three spinoff Penguin books of selected letters) for direct donation to Edgar’s Mission, a rural shelter in Victoria for rescued farm animals. Actually, the idea to fundraise for Edgar’s preceded the idea for the readings themselves. It took Marieke and Michaela a few months of emails to forge the format of Women of Letters.

On the bill were mainly Australians: the richly amusing Jon Doust, dazzling songstress Clare Bowditch, YA author Morris Gleitzman, decorated poet Cate Kennedy, and legal defender of refugees Julian Burnside. To furnish some local scintillation, Bali literacy advocate and renaissance man Ketut Yuliarsa also came to read, Each carried their response to their assignment, “write a letter to the thing you wish you had written.”

Navigating my way to a good vantage point, I discovered a vacant chair holding a fresh, whisper-light aerogram (remember those?), a prop that seemed to beg, “write on me!” Doubly charming was the fact that it was from the Japanese postal service, international festival, indeed! This was a hint that the Australian passion for participatory sport was in force, despite serious announcements that photography and recording of any kind was strictly forbidden.

True to my promise as a privileged witness, I will not print a word of the sweetness, hilarity, the deep thoughts and tender memories revealed that night. Allowed for a moment into the minds of these notable people, guests could ponder and appreciate the authors’ all-too-human foibles and dreams.

Unless they’re saving a statistical announcement as a surprise, Hardy and McGuire have not made known the total number of Letters sessions. But Letters has been a hit formula for nearly four years and has raised well over AUS100,000 for charity.

When I met Marieke in one of Ubud’s delightful private gardens, she presented herself a bit like Shakespeare’s Puck.

Playful and uninhibited, Hardy arrived in vintage prints and blazing red lipstick, sporting a tattoo of the Women of Letters silhouette logo on her arm. Here was the woman who wrote the exquisitely shocking “You’ll Be Sorry When I’m Dead,” passionately talking to me about vegan food and the success of the recent Letters event in Jakarta.

She noted, not surprisingly, that the men’s events have sometimes suffered from a lack of the emotional vulnerability and humility for which women are known. But let a selfassured woman take the floor, and spectacular evenings have been made.

The big draw with the Letters evenings is a chance to hear a true confession or previously suppressed opinion from some famous and talented person, including those not necessarily known for literary prowess. The audience is likely to have a few laughs, shed a tear, but certainly be touched by the true sense of intimacy that any heartfelt letter engenders.

The writers/readers that first day included musician Angie Hart and ABC’s Myf Warhurst. It caught fire right away and has become a hot ticket Australia-wide institution and is now touring internationally.

Last October, I cadged a ticket to one of a pair of evening events held at the Indus restaurant. Entitled Women of Letters and People of Letters (I attended the latter), these were salon style readings curated by Australian writer-journalists Marieke Hardy and Michaela McGuire. Not since the stampede to see Nick Cave in the same venue the year before, did the Indus pack such a large audience upstairs.

Audiences on three continents have been treated to letters from the hearts and souls of Paul Kelly, Amanda Palmer, independent filmmaker John Sayles, Ubud festival favorites Kristina Olsson and Ayu Utami,and best-selling fantasy writer Neil Gaiman. On the day when this issue of the Bali Advertiser hits the streets, composer Moby and comic actor/ writer Josh Radnor will be in LA, reading aloud their letters to the same theme assigned to the Ubud People of Letters.

I can’t resist letting it drop that on March 8 in San Francisco’s Z Space, I’ll be hanging on the words of Alice Sebold, Natalie Baszile, and four other hand-picked notables responding to write a letter to the last time.

The various letter writing assignments from Michaela and Marieke can all spark the forces of creation and memory.

Any blocked writer could easily pick one and get a torrent of words flowing, just as a workshop could include one as a half day exercise. Just imagine what these past assignments for Women (and Men) of Letters might ignite: To my 12 year old self.

To the best decision I ever made.

To my first boss.

A complaint letter. (Tracee Hutchison’s farewell letter to complaining was a revelation of the virtue of ending the whinge habit: “Putting a face on shame never makes you popular,” she wrote).

An apology letter.

To the hostess of THAT party.

To the woman who changed my life. (Always a good one for Men of Letters) A love letter.

To a little white lie.

To the moment I knew it was time to go home.

To the photo I wish I had never taken.

To the song I wish I’d written.

To the person I misjudged.

To the things I never told my mother.

To my most treasured possession.

To my ghosts.

To the night I’d rather forget.

C/U/G-5 March 14

Musical performances were originally used during an interval while attendees were encouraged to write (using the stationery provided), and the events concluded with a wideopen discussion. In Ubud we were not given any verbal encouragement to write, but the aerograms were a nice hint, and it is fun to imagine what people may have scribbled there inside the Indus.

Combining Marieke’s and Michaela’s shared passion for writing, their infectious sociability, and a love of animals for their own sake, these two women of letters have ensured the futures of not only pen-to-paper letter writing, but of some very happy un-penned-in animals.

Healing the Body, Mind & Spirit

By Michele Cempaka

athways to

Transformational Breath

Something as simple as breathing is also what many of us take for granted. We often breathe unconsciously as we go through our day, or in some cases, we may even find ourselves holding our breath. How can we forget to breathe?

When we are overwhelmed or an uncomfortable emotion arises, this is the time we often choose to stop breathing.

It’s as though if we stop breathing, that our emotion will also stop, but actually it doesn’t. Instead it gets solidified into our very being – an energetic clog that begins to create an imbalance within us which can eventually lead to illness.

When I teach meditation to people, the most difficult aspect for them to understand and practice is how to breathe. I was taught by a Buddhist nun in Korea over 15 years ago, that if we breathe in the head, we will stay in our thoughts; if we breathe in our chest, then we stay in our emotions. What we actually need to do is bring our breath all the way down into our belly. Then we have the capacity to bypass our thoughts and emotions and rest in a place of stillness. Once I learned how to belly breathe, my meditations completely transformed. It became much easier for me to surrender and let go of my discursive thoughts also known as ‘Monkey mind’.

About four years ago, I began to explore the breath further when I went on a transformational retreat in Malaysia.

Beloved Prema, who led our retreat and who has since passed away, introduced us to the Osho Chakra meditation: a beautiful practice which incorporates deep open mouth breathing also known as holotropic breath. During the meditation one focuses on their individual chakras while breathing rapidly in and out of the mouth. The practice consisted of three rounds lasting 45 minutes. Each round took me deeper into another energetic layer, clearing the blocks within my chakras and my entire energetic system.

By the third round my whole body was vibrating. It was a powerful sensory experience unlike anything that I have ever encountered before until recently.

In the past month I have attended two breath workshops with Antonio Abbagnano at the Ark in Ubud. I have been seeking a way to go deeper with my own transformation and healing, as this is an integral part of my life because of the work that I do with others and my own commitment to expansion.

My first experience at the Ark was both surprising and moving. We began with a free writing exercise with the phrase: “When I surrender…” It was a beautiful exploration which allowed me to connect with the possibilities of what I can be and do when I open up and totally surrender to life.

Then some of us shared our writings, creating a space of vulnerability and deepening our connection with each other.

Antonio’s sensitivity and genuine caring provided us with the space for our expression without judgment.

Afterward, Antonio clearly explained how the breath work session would be facilitated. We were then gently guided to

begin breathing deeply into our bellies, connecting the in breath with the out breath in a circular form. Even though I’ve been doing yogic breathing for years with my meditation practice, it was a bit of a struggle for me. Breath work is quite different, because it requires that you breathe deeply in and out of your mouth, which is uncomfortable and feels unnatural. As I allowed myself to fully surrender, it felt like there was no sense of time or space. I had gone on a journey that took me to higher realms where I met with my guides who lovingly received me and shared their wisdom with me.

Once again I experienced my entire body vibrating as it had done before with the Osho Chakra meditation. I could feel energy moving down my leg and around my knee, repairing that area, and also out of my hands. After several minutes, (I couldn’t ascertain how long I was in this state) Antonio’s voice gently guided us back to this reality. I hadn’t fully left my body, but there was this sense of having a foot in both worlds. For me this was bliss – a state of mind where I was totally connected to my full potency and connected with the field of Oneness. My whole being was flooded with gratitude and peace. This is the power of our breath.

How can something so simple take us to altered states and evoke such bliss? In many ways, there are no words to describe how profound my experiences have been with doing breath work. It has brought me to a place of knowing me in a whole new way. There is a delight that I feel now about embracing me that I have only felt before whenever I am working with the tools of Access Consciousness or assisting others to fully step into their potency. I am excited to keep exploring what else is possible with the breath work that Antonio facilitates for all those who wish to go deeper and expand their consciousness.

After yesterday’s session, I am truly grateful to be alive.

Special thanks to Antonio and Sparks for facilitating such a magnificent breath work session for us all. If you would like more information about the breath work sessions that Antonio facilitates at both the Ark and at the Yoga Barn, please visit his website at: www.alchemyattheark.com.

UBUD NEO SOUL MAN Ubud is blessed to bits at the mo’. The likes of UK soul phenomenon Omar and legendary bass player D-Notes Harris are performing at Jazz Café in March, and other must-see performers from the world music mix of the Bali Spirit Festival are popping up around town both before and after the March 19-23 event (see separate story on bridges’ dinner concert, below).

Drawn to Indonesia for last week’s Java Jazz Festival and lured here by some super smart talkers for Bali Live International Jazz Festival (March 8 at Taman Bhagawan, Nusa Dua), Omar was a standout success at Jazz Cafe this week. The British soul singer/songwriter - known as the godfather of Neo Soul – certainly deserves his tag as the greatest soul singer ever to emerge from the UK. The good fortune is sticking around; the latest news from Jazz Café is that like the grandpop of soul Jim Larkin, showman D-Notes loves us so much he’s decided to stay in Bali. These guys have played with some of the most extraordinary musicians in the world; the smooth voiced D-Notes is one of the most requested bass players in America, so don’t miss him on March 15 at Jazz Café, with his new locally-based band PGP. DINE OUT ON MUSIC Then BSF supporter bridges restaurant presents their annual festival dinner concert, this time with Sousou and Maher Cissoko on Thursday, 20 March 2014.

The charismatic duo - one Senegalese, the other Swedish – perform on kora, guitar, percussion and bass, combining influences from reggae, mbalax, folk, soul and blues.

Together they produce a strong rhythmic energy with intimate vocals, promising an unforgettable experience in the beautiful and intimate setting of bridges. www.bridgesbali. com/cissoko.php.

Doors open 7pm, concert begins at 9.30pm. Reservation highly recommended, they’ve sold out every year. Price: IDR485,000 net, including three course menu and concert (discount for Bali Spirit VIP pass holders). Tickets: bridges, BSF Sales Of¿ce, Yoga Barn, Yoga Shop, Kafé, Kebun Bistro and online.

Check out Bali Spirit Festival 2014’s complete music line-up (from USA, Jamaica, Korea, Japan, Mexico, China, Sweden, Java and West Africa) on line at www.balispiritfestival.com; March 19-23.

AIRBNB HOSTS BSF Perhaps it’s no surprise that one of the world’s fastest growing travel accommodation sites, airbnb.com, is sponsoring Bali Spirit Festival this year. After all, airbnb.com is extraordinarily popular in Bali and as our amazing festivals grow each year, it’s increasingly dif¿cult for all those extra tourists to ¿nd a place to stay in those busy weeks.

There’s a synergy too; both organisations are as much about linking people and sharing real experiences, as just putting the money in the bank. Good on them!

TAKSU GARDEN CAFÉ A few meters make a world of difference; turn into Taksu Restaurants and Spa at the bottom corner of jl Gautama for breakfast or lunch. You’ll find yourself in a thoughtfully laid out garden of traditional Balinese herbs in the midst of covered and open air dining spaces.

Taksu’s management team are fastidious foodies so every cashew or soy milk option, every tea and juice, every organic salad leaf and fresh-baked loaf is nutritious, healthy and delicious.

I began with a chat with a knowledgeable therapist who assessed my health before suggesting the treatments that would best suit me. I chose from fragrant oil blends with Balinese herbs and spices, which were incorporated into my three hour session, with Ayurvedic essential oils and compresses to help relieve any stress, plus some Reiki healing to remove the creaks and lift my mood. Afterwards, I had a plunge in their pool and chilled a little, before the trek back to the car park atop.

MEALS WITH WHEELS? Spoilt’s not the word. Not even close. Many of my favorite Ubud eateries – Kafe, Kue Bakery, Bali Buda (restaurant and store), for example - will home deliver to Ibu Jen’s house with no or a tiny delivery fee, to the amazement of overseas guests. But I’ve always had to visit Laughing Buddha for their special Asian wanton noodle soup (yes I know they have music; I love their blues nights, but sometimes a girl wants soup!).

So I’m deeee-lighted to hear that they are putting wheels on their meals and will home deliver up to 3km from central Ubud. Some of you might have to move a little closer to town. Order by phoning 0821 4524 5199. Minimum order 50,000rp; delivery charge 5,000rp.

The Business Builder Series

The BizWiz Brand Delivery… co-create customer value and release hidden profit

How to Minimise You Tax Bill

As a small business owner you have choices on how you pay yourself. The two key choices are as salary or as Dividends from your business Net Profit. But many people don’t understand those options nor how to use them to minimise their tax bill and take home more of the loot.

In the examples we work with in this article, the tax paid out can vary from Rp 196 million (30% of available owner withdrawals) to Rp 80 million (12%.)

That’s an awful lot of money to leave on the table just from not knowing your options.

To generate the examples I created an Excel worksheet (the BizTax Tool) to apply the business rules for Indonesian Company and personal tax rates.

Understand Company Tax Options • If you are a business with gross earnings (ie sales) of less than Rp 4.8 billion (approx $480,000) per year then you pay tax (every month) at a rate of 1% of the gross earnings (sales) of the previous year.

Professional services businesses not included.

• If your business has annual sales of less than 50 billion ($5 million) per year then your tax rate is 25% less 50% discount, or net 12.5% • A flat tax rate of 25% applies for other companies in Indonesia.

Impact of the New 1% Tax The 1% tax rate was introduced during 2013 to simplify the calculation of tax to be paid, in order to get more businesses paying tax.

Certain businesses are not eligible: • Professional services including accountants, coaches, teachers, musicians.

• Businesses with demountable infrastructure, such as street hawkers or circuses.

VISA SERVICES Working visa (Working KITAS) Retirement Visa (Retirement KITAS) Family Visa (Family KITAS) Social Visa Business Visa Tourist Visa Visas to another country COMPANY SERVICES PMA, PT, CV

Are You Paying Too Much Tax? You’ve worked your butt off all year to increase your wealth, but now it’s time to hand the final chunk to the tax man. How can you ensure you don’t give away more than you need from that hard-won new wealth?

BALI BUSINESS CONSULTING

percentages are 5%, 15%, 25% and 30%. So the more salary you pay yourself, the higher the average personal tax rate is.

• Each salary earner is entitled to tax deductions, called Main Personal Relief. These include a minimum salary exemption, deductions for a spouse, a deduction for each dependent, occupational expenses, Jamsostek employee payments, and pension maintenance.

Utilising the Tax Variables You reduce your tax by how you use the following factors: • Split of money withdrawn between salaries and dividends.

• Split of salaries between partners.

• Optimising your deductions.

Our Sample Base Input We need some base data to set up the worksheet in our sample. Your base data would come from your own Profit and Loss Report for the year.

In our example, our owner has a spouse and two dependent children.

The 1% Business

1% Company Tax This is straight forward – 1% of Rp 4 billion is Rp 40 million.

This will apply regardless of any personal income taxes.

“1%” Personal Income Tax This is where it starts to get interesting. The trick is to optimise your salary payments to minimise tax over 10% net, with the rest paid as dividends at the 10% rate.

Jakarta – Bali – Batam C/BT/G-19 Feb 14

Tax Allocation Options Using the BizTax tool, we analysed these options for Owner Withdrawals (OW), including the 1% company tax:

So in effect, pretty much all small businesses in restaurants, entertainment, trave,, retail or manufacturing will be required to pay a tax rate of 1% on their gross sales. If you are a new business then the annual gross earnings are based on your first month sales. So, maybe better to use a soft launch for the first month...

At first glance you might say, oooohh! Wonderful, I’m paying less tax! But that might not be the case – it depends on the Net Profit Margin you are already earning. If you look at the following table you can see that the more net profit you earn, the better off you are - compared to the current 12.5% tax on Net Profit. The break-even point is a Net Profit figure of 8%. If you are earning less profit than that then you will be paying more tax than before.

The Net Profit Tax Business

Remember, this applies to professional services, also where capital assets are being built. These owners can play with one additional factor, as what they pay themselves as salaries gets deducted off assessed income for company tax. Using the same tax allocation options as above, we had the following net tax results:

BizFact #26 90% of SME’s generate less than 10% Net Profit.

(SME = Small and Medium Enterprises.)

The Impact of Splitting Salaries Splitting salaries between a couple achieves two things: it reduces the net amount subject to the highest progressive tax rate, and it increases the potential for deductions from personal salary. The current cost of a KITAS is around Rp 20 million per year, so if you can gain more than that from splitting income then give your partner a KITAS and a job.

So, if you have never had an incentive before to boost your net profit margin then maybe this tax change might do it for you, as the benefit is all for you, not the tax man!

Your strategy should be to grow net profit before you grow sales, to keep under the tax change thresholds.

Understand Key Personal Tax Variables • After you have paid tax on your sales or profits you have the balance available for two key uses – re tained earnings and shareholder dividends.

• Retained Earnings is money you want to keep in the business to fund growth and replace your assets – land, buildings, production machinery, computers.

Your budget plan DOES include the use of Retained Earnings, doesn’t it!

• Dividends are amounts paid to shareholders. In a small business the shareholders are the owners, including your Indonesian partner in a PT. • Dividends paid are taxable at a flat 10% for share holder residents. If you have a KITAS then you are in effect a resident.

• Personal income tax rate are variable and progressive.

In other words you pay increasing percentages on lump sums of income as the amount increases. The tax break

Conclusions In the example we have used here, the best results you get are from planning your withdrawals from the business as salaries, not as dividends. But your own business could have quite different results depending on your inputs.

Welcome one and all to this, the very first edition of Music Matters here in the Bali Advertiser, This column will be packed with reviews, news and information on all things music related here in Bali, giving you the inside scoop on what’s hot what not and where you can go to enjoy great live music!

Just before we crack on and get down to the serious business of music, I would like to take a moment just to explain a bit about me and why I am qualified to write this column. My name is Tobias Julian Brown I am twenty nine years of age, and have been a keen musician all my life. At thirteen was in a marching youth band (cringe) and played the trumpet, euphonium and baritone. Thankfully I was rescued by the magic of rock music, and formed my own rock band with some friends from school. We did well and one summer I decided to host a mini rock festival in my garden, I hired four DJ’s brought a porta-loo which got tipped over with someone inside it, (another story) and even took a week designing and building a large stage for my and five other local bands to play on. We had noise complaints and the police turned up in 5 minutes flat, but I dealt with it.

Since that day I never looked back, and have made music my passion. I have been in 6 rock bands as the lead singer, front man, managed and promoted local artists, and also written for local newspapers and music magazines such as RAW in London. It’s fair to say that other than the essentials, sleep, food, shelter, music would be my next choice and to live in a world with out it would be to quote Blackadder, “like a broken pencil, pointless.”

I am going to start this column by explaining a venue which is sometimes overlooked but in my experience provides some of the best live music on the island; I am talking about Café Legian.

Café Legian is actually not as its name may suggest in Legian, but in Kuta in the very heart of the club pub district.

The Café is one of the oldest original buildings in the area dating back a minimum of 60 years and also one of the first/ bars and restaurants in the location. The café is a hub and almost a central meeting point for people in Kuta not only because of its location but also because of the way the building is set up, the bands that play there are practically performing to the street, with the singer literally standing on the pavement while people walk behind him! The house band is very good, highly polished and knows a great deal of songs, they are also very friendly and encourage anyone brave enough to get up and sing with them (if you leave a tip of course) which is great as it provides a spectacle, and sometimes you strike gold with a professional musician being in the audience.

I remember about 4 months ago I was out at Café Legian with my friends, just drinking Jack and listening to the music

when I noticed a bloke who looked a bit out of place, he was heavy set had some tattoos and wore a towel around his neck. Usually I would have thought he was just military or something of that nature, however there was something familiar about him. I asked his mate who he was and he told me not to ask questions but to go and get the band to play smoke on the water, so a little puzzled I did exactly that. The band started and this guy leapt out of his chair, pulled two drum sticks out of his pocket, and pushed the other drummer out of the way! He then proceeded to play drums like I have not heard since I saw Metallica last, kicking beat after beat, and playing on the wall, on peoples drinks, and on the head of the other drummer, who looked pretty non -plussed by the whole thing.

It was simply incredible! I spoke to the guy afterwards and he claimed to be Chris Curtis, one of the original lineup from the seventies British heavy metal group Deep Purple, he then signed a ten thousand rupiah note for me with that name. I am not sure if this is true or not, but it definitely made for a memorable night.

The café does have some drawbacks as a live music venue in the sense that the size of the performance area is a bit on the small side, and the acoustic quality of the building is not the best, but the open feel does make for a very unique experience where the band is playing up close and personal, almost like having your own paid for live performance.

Café Legian always has a great atmosphere and is reasonable on price, the staff are friendly, and if you want a top night out with some randoms and some great live music you couldn’t ask for more, plus with its walk in ethos you never know who you might bump into while you’re there.

Café Legian is open seven days a week but live music is only on offer presently 3 days a week Mondays , Wednesdays, and Fridays with the main band usually kicking off at eleven o’clock.

Major Upcoming Events : Saturday 8th March. Bali Live International Jazz festival 2014 Nusa Dua. Featuring: Earth Wind and Fire experience, Al McKay, Incognito, Omar, Jim Larkin and the Saucy soul Band, and much more.

ARDEN DOCTOR

by The Garden Doctor

by Dr. Kris

Exporting Live Plants from Indonesia

Over the years I have often received questions regarding plant and seed export from Indonesia, a topic which is both interesting and complex. Knowing there must be a wider audience for this information based on the requests in my inbox I have decided to share this recent example; ‘Dr. Kris, I hope you don’t mind me asking about exporting plants.

I’m planning a trip to Bali this summer (when college courses are ¿nished) and I’m in love with house plants.

I was hoping you had some information about bringing plants back to the US. I understand that I will need a phytosanitary certi¿cate from an NPPO, which I have found in Jakarta. Do you know if I simply need to bring my plants to the NPPO and request a certi¿cate? I also understand that I should bare-root any plants I plan to take with me. Any information is greatly appreciated!

Thanks Keiko’ There are good reasons why people desire to export live plants from Indonesia, there are just so many exotics in abundant supply. Export isn’t limited to Europe and North America, plants are often exported even to nearby parts of Asia, such as Thailand and the Philippines, and there is even a booming inter-regional trade within in Indonesia. The Àora of Indonesia consists of many unique varieties of tropical plants, being one of the most biodiverse regions of the world, and there can be great variations from island to island, even within regions on one island itself. Take Bali for example, from the dry scrub atop the bukit to the south, to the tropical jungle of Buleleng in the north, to the east is the moonscape of Tulamben/ Amed in west you have the thick forests of Bali Barat Taman Nasional (West Bali National Park).

Finding the balance between economic development and the preservation biodiversity is certainly a challenge facing not only Indonesia but indeed the whole world. Some would say the battle has already been lost. Preserving and using the natural biodiversity to promote ecotourism may be one solution to increasing the economic status of Indonesia’s isolated regions, without compromising the natural environment, though I doubt it from previous experience!

Most patches of paradise eventually end up with huge hotel or villa cemented right over the top of them, and become paradise found for the newcomers, whilst paradise lost for the rest of us. I can remember (not that long ago) when there was a secret wave up at a small village called Canggu that wasn’t even on the surfers map, let alone the tourist map.

Just recently I heard an expat most aptly describe it as soon to be resembling the suburbia of western Sydney, which I thought was spot on. The point is, small scale ecotourism always starts out with the best intentions, though inevitably if a dollar is to be made it won’t be long until the corporations move in bulldoze the place and create their own version of ‘natural beauty’ – and on that note of nostalgia I digress.

Biodiversity - There are approximately 28,000 species of Àowering plants in Indonesia, consisting 2500 different kinds of orchids, over 5000 medicinal plants used in traditional Jamu, over 100 species of bamboo, and over 350 species of rattan. Indonesia is also home to some unusual species plants, most notably the RafÀesia arnoldi, and the Titan arum (both from Sumatra) the world’s largest Àower. Both RafÀesia and Titan arum are locally known by the name bunga bangkai (corpse Àower). Both are world renowned for their scent or more accurately put, the foul odorous stench of dead bodies that they emit in order to attract a beetle to pollinate them.

There are also various other species of pitcher plants (Nepenthes) which prey on insects, and many other unique specimens too numerous to list here that exist throughout the archipelago.

Exporting - The process to send live plants out from Bali or Indonesia is quite complicated even if you are sending common plants. De¿nitely plants should be sent bare rooted

as many plant diseases are soil borne, and any quarantine service abroad would definitely not allow this in, and Indonesia won’t let it out either in any case. In regard to export regulations from Indonesia it is not as simple as simply having a National Plant Protection Office (NPPO) phytosanitary certi¿cate, as this is just to certify that the plants are not endangered and that they are pest/insect/ disease free.

The NPPO has overall responsibility for law enforcement on plant protection matters and is within the Agency for Agricultural Quarantine (AAQ). There are 43 plant quarantine stations located at 43 seaports and airports within the country. Indonesia’s ¿rst ever incidence of plant quarantine dates back to 1877 when a complete prohibition was placed on the importation of coffee plants and seeds from Sri Lanka to prevent the introduction of coffee leaf rust.

Interestingly the objectives of plant quarantine are not only to prevent the introduction of plant pests into Indonesia but to also prevent inter-regional spread of pests and disease from separate geographical areas within the country. Notably they also aim to prevent the exportation of plant pests and diseases if required by the country of destination, in order to uphold the integrity and good name of the Indonesian nation and quarantine abroad.

Laws on inter-regional export within Indonesia To export a plant to another island or region within Indonesia the plant must be accompanied by an approved NPPO certi¿cate from the area of origin, presented to the plant quarantine of¿cer at the place of exit and entry for quarantine inspection.

For international export You will need an NPPO certi¿cate from the area of origin presented at the designated place of export for quarantine inspection. Additionally you will need to ¿nd an agent with a horticultural export license, who is willing to export on your behalf, and usually they will charge a fee. Holders of this license are in short supply. It will not be possible for you to export without the license even if you have an NPPO, and as I say it is dif¿cult even for a local to attain one.

At present there are 174 plants endemic to Indonesia listed as endangered. Permits for export of endangered species are known as “LIPI” and are extremely dif¿cult to obtain, and only allowed for research purposes. LIPI permits are issued by the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, for more information about the application process you can visit their website http://foreignresearcher.lipi.go.id If you need help ¿nding an agent who can export on your behalf, and also manage the whole process from start to ¿nish don’t hesitate to contact me for further information.

Diving Lessons The matter of the Japanese divers whose expedition turned into disaster off Nusa Penida on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14) is now in police hands. An investigation is apparently under way. The skipper of the dive boat is a person of interest, according to reports. That seems fair enough. The facts of the case should not be the subject of ill-informed prattle or gossipy rumour. As always, one lives in hope that should the authorities actually discover the facts, they’ll let everyone know about this rather than finding another corner of carpet to sweep them under. One hopes. They do say hope springs eternal.

It was interesting that the rescue authorities – who did a magnificent job and deserve public praise for doing so – suggested at one point (there was a published reference to this) that the dive boat wasn’t where it was supposed to be when the seven Japanese female divers surfaced as scheduled because it was low on fuel and had gone away to get more. If this is the case, it is yet another astonishing example of the cavalier approach to dangerous behaviour so often seen in Bali and other parts of Indonesia. It would seem to ordinary mortals, for example, that if you’re running a dive boat you don’t run low on fuel. You ensure you have enough for the scheduled task and a safety reserve to cover emergencies or unforeseen events.

The weather was foul on dive day. That’s another issue the regulators should look at both from the local regulatory perspective and in terms of measures to foreclose on foolish decisions to go ahead in risky conditions. The waters off Nusa Penida are not benign. Five of the seven divers survived their experience, including three days adrift in dangerous waters or clinging to a submerged coral head. Sadly two did not. That makes it a tragedy, not just something that can be dismissed as bad karma.

Lobbying for Art There was a lovely little soiree at Conrad Bali on Feb. 28 to introduce the in-crowd to the hotel’s Living Lobby Art exhibition. It’s often been pleasant to drop into the lobby at the Conrad in the past, since it has always featured art to catch the eye. It goes with the ambience, so to speak. Some little time ago, when Michael Burchett was GM, we dropped by to chat with the delightful Cecilia Hatmandayani and while waiting were entranced by the delightfully outré art on display. The erotic does not have to be prurient, after all, and in fact is better for not being so. There are other places to view material that’s more explicit, if that’s your bag.

In any case the hint of hidden delights provides much greater cerebral piquancy. One of the problems with the modern world and its condign attachment to the banal is that you so often find the finer side of life has been abolished in favour of rude vacuity. We couldn’t make the opening unfortunately. But it was nice of Imuthia Yanindra, Conrad’s marketing, PR and communications manager, to ask us along. We shall have to drop by now and then, while living art from sculpture to painting is gracing the place, and have a look. We’ll have a drink at the lobby bar too. It’s a fine venue.

Evening Wrap Those who observe Australian matters (there are a few and they are important) will have noticed that Australia Network, the satellite TV service run by the ABC, has been attracting some critical attention at home in the Special Biosphere. In part this is because of the curiosity of how it is funded, which is by the Department of Foreign Affairs, and debate about how the network achieves its aim of advancing Australia’s interests. It actually does this very well in an environment (in Australia) where internalized self-interest does not necessarily bring benefits to those who espouse a world view.

Its programming is specific and includes a useful English language teaching element. Australia is a small player on the world stage and the resources it can afford to outlay on winning friends (in case audiences) and influencing people are finite.

Australia Network heavily emphasizes news and current affairs. This is sensible. There’s more than enough pap around elsewhere in the televised ether to service other needs. So it was good to hear that a new one-hour news and current affairs program will launch on Mar. 10. The

World, presented by veteran Jim Middleton and former ABC globetrotter Zoe Daniel, will cover the news of the day and in-depth analysis of the most important issues affecting the Asia-Pacific region. It will screen Mondays to Fridays at 8.30pm in Bali (7.30pm in Jakarta).

Moving Moments Vyt Karazija, the Australian blogger and closet bon vivant who enlivens several social media forums locally, has recently moved house. This event is unremarkable. It is something many of us do from time to time, as fancy dictates or quantum increases in wet season leaks suggest is warranted. Karazija’s move did strike a chord at The Cage, however, since he reported that his trusty domestic manager, the sibilant Seven, had taken charge of the program and had made it work. Moreover, it had worked more speedily, to greater effect, and remarkably smoothly.

This brought back memories of a similarly moving event in our own life. Twenty years ago we shifted house in Brisbane, Queensland, from one suburb to another. The Distaff was busy elsewhere at the time, doing important corporate things in Thailand. The Diary’s schedule was constrained by journalistic duties. You know, editorials to write, issues to research, news lists to ponder, copy to edit, writers to correct (“It was the Boer War you idiot, not the Bore War”) and sundry other things to attend to on behalf of Mr Murdoch; dross like that. Plainly things were not going quite as speedily or efficiently as they might on the necessary domestic movement front. Nor were they ever going to, which was also abundantly clear, especially to our then local equivalent of Karazija’s inimitable Seven. She stepped firmly into the breach. We’ve moved any number of times in the course of our three decades together, Distaff and Diary, but that shift has passed into history as The One That Neither of Us Noticed.

Sanctuary Plus

C/Bm/I-5 March 14

One of the special delights of living at The Cage is that the little local kitty clan has adopted our securely walled back yard as a sanctuary for its latest kittens. We use it only as a utility area – it houses the underground tank without which we’d be as stuffed for government water as everyone else in the precinct and the gas house, which we built to the wonderment of the locals so we could shift the hot-water service and the kitchen gas out of the crawl space – and therefore mostly leave it alone. But it is sheltered from the wet north-west monsoons and brightly lit for security at night. Regularly, the latest kittens are settled at dusk by their mums on the warm timber steps at our back door, safe from dogs and snakes and other dangers.

They’re wary of us (we often delay daily checks on the utilities to give them time in the sunny mornings to pack up their swags and move on for the day) but each seems quickly to work out that while we’re big and noisy we’re no threat. We engage in mutual meowing and purring through the glass door now and then. That’s nice.

We don’t feed them and they’re in no sense our cats. It would be unfair to feed them since our schedules make regular feeding impossible. But we like them around because their regular diet (you might call it “ratatouille”) helps keep under control the Norway rats that proliferate locally and which, unless sudden death by cat intervenes, feed and breed well on the selfi shly and thoughtlessly discarded garbage of others. On the mutually supportive neighbour scale, members of the kitty clan are great acquaintances for whom we’re happy to provide light and safety.

The Mother of Indonesian Natural Cosmetics Dr. Martha Tilaar

By Jennifer Juno

Indonesia’s herbs and spices, local wisdom and cultural heritage have made traditional spas one of the most promising businesses in the nation. Spa treatments offered in tourist destinations such as Bali attract both foreign and local tourists.

Nowadays, the demand does not only come from women but also from men and teenage students. Martha Tilaar Group is a big player in the beauty industry, having felt the rising spa demand many years ago. The group offers an impressive array of beauty and well-being choices for women of all ages and income groups.

Also known as “The Mother of Indonesian Natural Cosmetics,” Dr. Martha Tilaar has dedicated her life to beauty and health for more than 30 years. Her mission is to revive ancient beauty secrets, demystifying the secret of Java. She has given modern woman the opportunity to rediscover their inner beauty and connect with nature.

“In our country, beauty is a combination of our inner and outer beauty”, explains Martha.

“The philosophy of the expression of inner and outer beauty, in Sanskrit, is a holistic approach called Rupasampat Wahyabiantara. That’s why in Indonesia, women drink Jamu, wear make up and also take daily supplements.”

Martha Tilaar

There are 54 Martha Tilaar Salon Day Spa outlets in primary cities across the country from Aceh to Papua, Brunei Darussalam, and Malaysia. Demand has also pushed the firm to open 10 new outlets this year. The healthy economic growth has led serviced spa parlors to flourish in hotels, including budget and mid-scale.

AMERICAN BEAUTY Although the Tilaar family came from a low-income bracket in Kebumen, Central Java, Martha managed to gain a scholarship to study at Academy of Beauty Culture – Bloomington Indiana USA during 1968. After which she was determined to return to her country of Indonesia and focus on products derived from local wisdom.

According to Martha, the typical Indonesian mind-set usually equated high-end cosmetics with Paris, London and New York, but rarely in Indonesia. Dr. Martha knew Indonesia had its own rich identity of beauty using raw materials of the East within a tropical climate that is different from the sub tropical climate of the West.

So Dr. Martha embraced this challenge and followed her vision to become one of the largest cosmetic companies in Asia, studying a scientific approach coupled with local indigenous science following traditional lifestyles. When she returned from the United States, she did not have any Western beauty literature or knowledge of the local jamu (herbal medicine). With the encouragement of her husband, Prof. Dr. Tilaar, Martha studied in the rural areas with medicine men (shaman).

BIG DREAM Martha Tilaar started her business in the garage of her father’s house in Central Jakarta.

From its humble beginnings as a beauty salon in the Martha Tilaar_massage early 1970s, the company has grown into an integrated, world-class, total beauty provider with an annual turnover of around Rp600 billion (US$75 million), exporting its unique Asian products all over the world. The shop location was near to the Embassies, with foreign ministers wives as customers. It grew fast by word of mouth and during that time, no other Indonesians had the credentials or could speak English.

It was Dr. Martha Tilaar’s daughter, Wulan Tilaar who after

returning from Boston University helped her mother in running their family business. Wulan Tilaar is currently holds position of Vice Chairwoman of Martha Tilaar Group and Director of Cantika Puspa Pesona. Martha Tilaar Group itself was founded in 1999.

“I grew up in Jakarta until high school and then continued my studies in USA to get my bachelor and master degree”, says Wulan.

“One of my biggest inspirations when I was a little girl was my mother. I learned that doing even small things can have a big impact on people’s lives. It was really an eye-opener for me. My mother taught me how to give back to the community. We are blessed to be a blessing for others.”

ECONOMIC REBOUND Martha Tilaar Group benefited greatly from Indonesia’s economic rebound after the 1998 crisis. And the setting up of a modern day plant exemplified their participation in the nation’s industrialization plan. Martha’s financial success today resulted from the sublimities of natural cosmetology and the enhancement of scientific research.

“We divided our products in two categories: luxury and consumer mass”, explained daughter Wulan. “For the luxury market we have PAC (premium decorative cosmetics products with the quality and market dominance in colour varieties, acknowledged by local and international make up artists) and we also produce Dewi Sri Spa (the premium and complete home spa set), which is drawn from natural affluence and inspired from the effectiveness of rice”.

Growing up in a patriarchal society, Dr. Martha decided to join forces with a very famous pharmaceutical company in order to secure a bank loan. During the economic crisis, the general public in Indonesia could no longer afford to buy American products, as they were five times the normal price. In 1995, after struggling to get her products out there, people started to believe in Indonesian products and they were able to rent out space in the malls. Everyone looked at Tilaar’s shop and sales went up by 400 percent during a time when 67 percent of companies were closing. And her company was comprised of 70 percent women.

BACK TO BASICS Ti l a a r w a n t e d t o provide products that represent the identity of Eastern women.

She could not use the same products from the West in the East.

Indonesian women get pimples with oilbased cosmetics and Natural spa so water-based cosmetics are better suited. All Martha’s ingredients include rice, honey, lemon, and lime. Using local wisdom, she went down into the village with her 107-year-old grandmother and studied different methods to preserve the body and keep it healthy.

“The Tilaar Group used all the local wisdom and we did a lot of research, exploring each natural ingredient through a scientific testing process”, said Wulan. “Sariayu head-to-toe beauty products use natural ingredients from all over Indonesia.”

The biggest sellers in theTilaar Range are Caring Colours, a cosmetic product with skin care benefit designed for young professionals. And Belia teenager’s products.

The Rudy Hadisuwarno Cosmetics range offers hair treament and styling products made from natural ingredients, supported by the latest technology. Biokos is a skin treatment product for women aged between 20 to 50. Mirabella offers affordable cosmetics with long lasting quality that always follow the trends, And Cempaka offers natural cosmetics for the increasing number of Indonesian dynamic women.

INTERNATIONAL BEAUTY The International Beauty School was founded in 1970, in Jakarta by Dr. Tilaar. It has contributed such a large role in providing professionals in the field and many creative people have become successful and self-sufficient as they opened their own businesses, created jobs and employed other staff within the beauty industry.

The Puspita Martha Beauty School offers a full range of curriculum programs, from beauty courses certified by Cidesco, to hair dressing courses certified by Pivot Point International, including bridal courses and body painting courses.

Their graduates and alumni are always in high-demand to participate in all types of national and international events, plays, and mass media programs such as Miss ASEAN, Indonesian Idol, Mercedes Benz Fashion Show, and many more.

Hair

Mrs. Martha Tilaar is not just a founder, businesswoman, and philanthropist, she has become one of the most powerful women in Indonesian culture, with a heart that speaks with gentle kindness. Her childhood dream has grown into a multibrand conglomerate beauty range, appealing to all levels of society. Daughter and Vice Chairwoman Wulan Tilaar took time out, to answer questions for our readers.

Do you believe cosmetic products are empowering?

Cosmetic products make a lot of women feel better about themselves. So when you feel good that’s definitely empowering.

What makes a woman beautiful?

There is a philosophy called “Rupasampat Wahyabiantara”. I believe that everywoman must be independent, well-educated so they can stand on their own feet, and have inner beauty that is described in Dewi Saraswati.

Can you describe Dewi Saraswati?

Dewi Saraswati has four hands. The first hand is holding palm leaf that means a woman must be well educated, broadminded so they can be independent. The second hand is holding a flower that means a woman needs to look good and attractive. The third hand is holding a zither that means a woman must be able to communicate positively with her surroundings. And last, the fourth hand is holding prayer beads, which means a woman must emphasize the importance of faith.

Do you hope to work with an international partner in the future?

Currently in Puspita Martha we already have receieved international accreditation from CIDESCO in Zurich, CIBTAC in UK, and Pivot Point in USA. Why do you train women within your franchise?

We have a training center called Martha Tilaar Training Center in Bali where we train up women after they graduate from high school in locations across Indonesia. For 4-6 months they learn how to become spa therapists. Besides free education, we also provide them with accommodation and pocket money.

The reason why we have this training center is to avoid the trafficking of women.

What level of growth do you expect in 2014?

I expect the business will grow up to 15-20% .

What new brands do you have now?

Currently we have nine brands under Martha Tilaar Group.

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE MARCH 05 - MARCH 19, 2014

As this fortnight begins, Venus finally moves into the sign of Aquarius after four long months in the sign of Capricorn. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus who is a major player in the transits that have been deeply affecting us over the past three years and on into 2015. Uranus and its sign Aquarius bring unexpected episodes of inspired change to our lives and now with Venus, who represents our values and our loves gracing their territory, you can be sure that peoples minds and better still their hearts will be influenced by the unusual, the controversial and the often seemingly bizarre. Uranus has recently squared Jupiter and the shackles have been shrugged off and we’ve become more receptive to unusual and often confronting information. Mercury retrograded through this same sign of Aquarius and brought revision and reflection to these controversial mental explorations.

It remains there this fortnight and then moves on into Pisces on the 18th. Mars, the masculine principle is in Libra and retrograding for the next 2 1⁄2 months. By the end of April, he returns to 13 degrees and joins Pluto, Uranus and Jupiter to create a massively powerful Grand Cross that will rock the World, affecting us individually, collectively and galactically. The reason I mention this now is that the planetary players are positioning themselves for this rendezvous; Mars turning retrograde and Jupiter moving forward at the beginning of this fortnight to arrive at their designated positions in April.

FULL MOON 26 Virgo 02 March 17, 2014 1:09 a.m.

ARIES Venus for you is moving from your career sector and into the area of friends, community and groups in your chart. Naturally then a movement away from material acquisitions and monetary based ideals and into more heart centred and caring ones. Mercury remains here as well and this brings a great deal of conversation and mental explorations with others. As Uranus was conflicted by Jupiter recently and prodding you in the direction of your next transformation round, you are no doubt more vulnerable than ever.

This isn’t by any means implying weakness but rather a strength through sharing of your own heart and personal story. It appears that we are all in this together.

TAURUS You may find yourself stepping onto a new career path as Venus enters Aquarius and you are finally willing to experiment a little on this front. As your mind opens to new potentials and possibilities you see your way clear to try something new. There may be more of a balancing act going on in the actual workplace as you find your place. The mind continues to be stretched as you are dropped more into your heart around deeper matters. The way that you dealt with things before is not the same way that you are dealing with them now. This is a new learning curve in your life.

LIBRA This long Mars retrograde is playing itself out in your first house of self-expression.

It’s an ongoing balancing act between you and the significant other/s in your life, your vocation and your home situation or family matters. This is quite a cross to bear at this potent time. If there are no solutions or answers presenting themselves right now it could be because more transformation (letting go, surrendering, allowing) is required before there is an organic movement forward. Patience is such a golden attribute at this time.

Confrontations can be destabilizing but do your best to not personalize them.

C/E/I-05 March 14

SCORPIO Pluto plays out its strategies in your house of communication and learning. Perhaps you are discovering just how powerful your words really are and the impact they have on others. Adopting a more gentle approach to their delivery could be in order as your own sensitivities are heightened.

There is so much inward explorations going on over the next months as you look at your own values received as a small child in your early childhood environment. Take the time to investigate here and this will allow you the potential to move forward when the time comes and away from negative family traits.

GEMINI For Gemini this is a veritable feast time of information and higher learning. Both Venus and Mercury are in your ninth house of travel, physical and intellectual. Mars is active in your romance arena and will bring a need for adjustments and communication. It can also pertain to the children in your life. This Full Moon sits in your fourth house of home and where you feel most comfortable. You may wish to clean it up or sort it out a little over this coming fortnight. It could be that you have some issues from the past that need attention or clarification.

SAGITTARIUS If you are undertaking a new study regime it could be bringing about a deep and profound change to your belief system. Your finances are also on a bit of a transformational role as you develop the heart to do business in a new way. With this Full Moon illuminating your feelings around your life’s purpose or vocation you could be noticing the stirrings to move on or out. There is a dampening effect going on too, as family matters are highlighted during the Pisces month and this could prove challenging and at times a little confrontational as friends vie for your attention.

CANCER The Venus dance now plays itself out in your house of endings and new beginnings.

This is also the house of shared resources, sexuality and finances. Perhaps you are beginning to value things in a new light with reference to situations that have recently entered your life. The clarity is beginning to come after the Mercury retrograde in the same house and as it moves on into Pisces and the ninth house at the end of the fortnight, you will feel a definite lifting of your spirit. The Mars retrograde is playing out in the area of home and family and this brings the need for adjustment and communication.

CAPRICORN Venus sits directly in your second house of values and allows them to take on a new format. Your ideas about relationship are changing and this also plays an important role in how you move forward with your career orientation now. Jupiter is bringing those changes directly through your relationship house and Uranus continues to bring upheaval through your home base. There’s a lot going on, but nothing more than you can deal with. This Full Moon is in your house of expansion and higher learning and this is where you’ll find your solace. Perhaps a little spiritual understanding is required.

LEO Both Venus and Mercury are in your polar opposite sign and in the relationship area of your chart. New ideas are filtering through and you are finding yourself more open to adopting a different stance on relating. The Mars retrograde is in your third house of learning and you are participating now with others in a shared study undertaking. This relates directly back to that Venus and how you operate within your personal relationships. There is much food for thought and as the Full Moon highlights your second house of values you are ready to do a little spring cleaning and clearing.

AQUARIUS With the Sun in your second house of possessions, you may find yourself uninterested in them, for now. Venus moves out of the hidden realms and into plain view and you may want to be known as a person in relationship.

There has been much discussion about your part in the relationship, but it is fair to say that there are more issues to be raised and they will show up possibly in legal disputes or in the area of religion or higher learning/ education. This Full Moon is in your eighth house of endings and new beginnings and you will get more clarity of intention around this time.

VIRGO As the Full Moon this fortnight falls directly in your first house you could be ready for some “me” time which organically allows the same for your partner. If you’ve been empathizing so much with each other lately, that the boundaries have become a little blurred this could be your opportunity for grounding and clearing. Meditation is a very personal thing and however it works for you is the best way to go. All of your answers are there when you undertake the inward journey. Venus in your house of work and service means that this now becomes a priority as well and you are developing some new ideals around this.

PISCES Full Moon plays itself out in your relationship house this fortnight and you may want to get your head straight about a few issues then. Remember too that we are in this extreme phase of deep healing now, in preparation for the transits of April and into the next phase of our lives. You’ve really allowed for much change in the area of your beliefs, ideas and values and are showing more and more of your vulnerable self. This is particularly potent with the Sun in your first house of personality. The Mars retrograde is in the house of death, sex, magic and shared resources. Relationships are playing out in an extremely deep and profound way.

SURFING NEWS

Bali International School Hosts 6th Annual Tournament

Another major sporting event in Bali bites the dust with the announcement from the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) on Monday that the 2014 World Championship Tour (WCT) will not include a contest at Keramas.

Replacing Keramas as the sixth of eleven stops on the 2014 World Championship Tour will be South Africa’s Jeffreys Bay. “We were very fortunate to have brought the world’s best surfers to Bali in 2013 and Keramas delivered in amazing fashion for the event,” Kieren Perrow, ASP Commissioner, said. “However, the opportunity to bring the WCT back to South Africa made sense to us and we look forward to the Top 34 showcased on J-Bay’s world-class walls this July.”

An intense weekend of basketball took place over the February 6th-9th weekend on the campus of Bali International School.

For the sixth consecutive year, BIS hosted its invitational basketball tournament, which featured school teams from around South Bali.

Hopes were high for the BIS boys’ and girls’ basketball teams as they entered the weekend and embarked on their respective quests to win the BIS Invitational Tournament for the first time.

Despite the BISIBT having had several different champions in both boys’ and girls’ divisions, the Dragons’ name was conspicuously absent from the list.

In the boys’ division, both BIS and arch-rivals Dyatmika got off to a torrid start and coasted through the initial round with four easy wins. Dyatmika advanced to the semi-finals with a convincing victory over tournament newcomers St. Thomas.

BIS then met last year’s spoiler, Santo Yoseph in the other semi-final, but prevailed with a close 9-point victory. The stage was set for the boys’ final.

In a hard-fought and intense first half, BIS led early, but fell behind just before halftime. The second half seemed like another game altogether, as Dyatmika outlasted the BIS team, and systematically pulled away, en route to a 43-27 triumph.

Dyatmika’s boys’ team hoisted the trophy for the first time in tournament history; while the Dyatmika girls were out to do it for the second time (they prevailed in 2011 and took the crown).

Undaunted by having been vanquished 35-25 by Santo Yoseph on Saturday morning, the Dyatmika girls brought their A-game and resoundingly avenged that defeat with a 34-12 thrashing of Santo Yoseph in the final.

Computer & Internet Bali PC Advisor

by Pak Bruce

Tablets vs. laptops 11th Anniversary

C/CI/G-29 May 13

This year begins our eleventh year together. It was in 2003 that I began writing these Bali PC Advisor articles. People tell me they find them very helpful and I am very glad for that since that is my intention. Let me remind you that you can always email (see bottom) with questions and I answer every email!

So let’s begin our 11th year!

Warning In Bill Dalton’s The Frugal Balinist article he gave a good detailed warning about RTC (RIMO). Basically you can get good prices on items there but you must be very careful. Always get everything in writing, warrantees, company name and phone, etc. Also make sure the item you purchased is actually the same as the one in the box. Just be careful!

ENHANCE & PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS IN SOCIAL MEDIA

Monitors

CONSISTENTLY SERVING CLIENTS SINCE 2002 C/Ci/I-02 Oct 13

THE very best upgrade I made to my computer was a second monitor! But, computer monitors often end up as an afterthought compared to the purchase of an actual computer. But considering how long you’ll spend staring into the screen reading email, browsing the Web and playing games, a monitor purchase deserves more thought. Wondering what to look for when you go shopping for your next display? Here’s a quick cut through the clutter to find the right display for you.

Size Most buyers tend to figure out size before anything else, and for good reason: The monitor size you select will determine many of the other options available. The “right” size monitor for you will largely be determined by how much space you’re working with, what types of work you’ll do on it, and of course, your budget.

While 19 inches used to be considered big for a CRT monitor, LCD displays have totally rebooted consumer expectations.

Unless you’re constrained by space (setting it up on a narrow desk, under low shelves, in a hutch, etc.) try to go larger than 20 inches. Common screen sizes go all the way up to 30 inches, but keep in mind that resolution seldom goes past 1080p, so you’ll be stretching the same image bigger and bigger, which can degrade quality. Monitors up to about 23 or 24 inches typically offer plenty of room without looking grainy.

Resolution Size may determine how big a picture looks to you, but resolution determines how much information you can actually fit on the screen. For productivity, more resolution means easier multitasking and more words in the same space. For movies and photos, more resolution means sharper appearance. In other words, more is always better.

The smallest desktop monitors come in resolutions down to 1366 x 768, but the vast majority offer 1920 x 1080 resolution, also known as 1080p. It’s popular for a reason: Besides offering plenty of room to spread out your windows, you’ll have exactly the right number of pixels for watching high-def content like Blu-ray movies and even HD YouTube content.

Connectivity

C/CI/G-4 Sept. 13

A single DVI input serves the needs of most consumers quite nicely, but HDMI is almost a prerequisite these days, and VGA never hurts in case you have to work with older equipment. Multiple inputs can also be useful if you plan to multitask with a monitor, like using it in a dorm room as both a TV and computer monitor. Many monitors also include perks like a built-in USB hubs and headphone jacks. Most monitors accept the same universal power cord, but new ultra-slim models often use an external power supply like a laptop, which can be one more piece to keep track of and another brick under your desk.

Other panel specs Response time: A measure of how long it takes for a pixel to go from white to black and back. If your pixels can’t switch fast enough, you end with the type of “ghosting” that makes say, a football flying through the air look like it has a comet tail. Most monitors tend to average somewhere around 5ms, which most consumers find acceptable even for gaming.

Refresh rate: A measure of how many times your display can update the picture in a second, measured in hertz (Hz).

A monitor with a faster refresh time, usually 120Hz, can often interpolate “in-between” frames to smooth motion, to make things like scrolling look more fluid. Standard monitors refresh at 60Hz. Brightness: A measure of how much light a monitor can emit, expressed in candelas per square meter (cd/m2). Besides simply looking better, a brighter monitor is much easier to see in brightly lit surroundings. Ratings of 250 to 300 cd/m2 are common for many affordable monitors.

LED backlighting: Don’t let the marketing confuse you: LED monitors are simply LCD monitors that use an LED backlight.

Besides using less power, LEDs allow manufacturers to make monitors slimmer, brighter, and without the warm-up time of traditional compact fluorescent (CFL) backlights.

Gloss or matte: Manufacturers tend to downplay the difference of an LCD screen’s coating, but depending on lighting conditions, it can make a huge difference. Glossy screen coatings tend to enhance contrast for a more vibrant look, but also reflect their surroundings more readily when powered down or displaying dark images. Matte monitors displays tend to look duller, but work better under challenging lighting conditions, like across from large windows.

TN or IPS: Twisted nematic (TN) panels are used in most inexpensive monitors, because they’re cheap, power efficient, and have quick refresh rates. In-plane switching (IPS) panels are used in higher end monitors because they offer better color reproduction and viewing angles.

Restaurant Review

By Gerry Williams E-mail: gerry@balieats.com

Dutch not French!

Ratatouille is the name lf the restaurant so you may think it serves French cuisine. No the management is Dutch and there is a considerable Dutch menu amongst the local and international offerings, and only a couple of French!

The site in Northern Sanur has quite a history, being where Massimo originally made his name locally when it was The Village, later it became Figaro for a short time, also Italian, but now it has been Ratatouille for the past few years, and a popular haunt of many local expats and visiting tourists.

A pleasant garden setting that surrounds running water, a side covered terrace and a large inside dining room, the staff old style, friendly and very helpful. This is a place where you can come to relax and enjoy, with no hassles.

Entrees are very limited [Spring Rolls with Thai sweet chilli sauce and Calamari Rings with cheese] but there is one that I like very much, Martabak. Not 100% original as it is wrapped in Phyllo pastry but very good none the less. The excellent filling of curried minced beef, egg and finely diced vegetables is partnered with the correct cucumber relish, very good indeed!

Salads are the usual [Chef, Greek and Caesar] plus that Ratatouille [originally a tossed salad of stewed vegetables, from Nice, France] but here it is served Franco-Italian style with pasta or Franco-Indonesian with rice. A dish for the vegetarians is Sambal Goreng Tahu, tofu and vegetables in a spicy coconut sauce.

Soup is Tomato and Basil or the Dutch special of Oma’s Groentensoep, a clear vegetable soup. Pasta can be Spaghetti or Penne, Bolognese or Carbonara. As Ratatouille is an all day dining establishment there are sandwiches, a ‘Fly Over’ ??, triple decker sandwich, club style, with chicken, egg, bacon, lettuce, cheese, onion and tomato, or that Bali staple, Ham & Cheese Jaffle.

It is as a Dutch restaurant that Ratatouille is best known.

Naturally they serve Uitsmijter, 3 eggs, ham cheese and bread, the Dutch breakfast [or brunch], Fricandel, Bitterballen and Huzarenslaatje [cold meats with toast]. Ballen Gehakt

is meat balls with salad and fries, Hutspot met Rookwurst is a vegetable stew with sausage added. Zuurkool met Kasseler is smoked pork with sauerkraut.

QUICK REVIEW Restaurant

: Ratatouille

Shoarna is a popular Dutch dish stolen from the Arab countries where they all have their own versions using lamb, chicken, turkey, beef or veal but never pork, but that is what it is here, shaved pork stuffed inside a pocket of pita bread, good taste but a little chewy, maybe chicken would be better? Hachee met rode kool is a beef stew with mashed potatoes and onions.

Address

: Jl. Danau Tamblingan 64, Sanur.

Telephone

: 289.383.

Open

: 11.00 a.m. to 11.00 p.m., daily.

Smoking Area

: By request.

International dishes include the very English Cottage Pie [minced beef topped with mashed potato and cheese] or Fish & Chips. The BBQ Spare Ribs they do their own way, the Schnitzel [pork] straight from Vienna and a Stroganoff [very Hungarian] strangely described as Italian style ,,..perhaps no paprika?

Pick-up Service:

: Sanur area.

Parking

: Street only.

Price

: 300,000 for two [+ drinks].

Credit Cards

: Visa, Mastercard.

Food

: Dutch & Indonesian.

Chicken Kiev [pictured] is from the troubled Ukraine, a dish that has become international, but this version is different, the rolled breast stuffed with herb butter and ham, breadcrumbed then deep-fried, cross-sliced and topped with parsley mustard sauce, almost a sambal. The chicken is very tender, mashed potatoes topped with large onion rings are added which makes it a very large serve as all are here. The Sesame Chicken is stuffed with bacon and much cheese and their Chicken Cordon Bleu is with a capsicum red wine sauce, topped with onion rings.

Wine

: Small list.

Service

: Old style, friendly and helpful.

Atmosphere

: Garden setting.

Overall

: Good basic food, cheap prices.

Local cuisine is available, all Bali’s most popular dishes. Ayam Kecap, Sapi Rendang, Ayam Asam Manis, Jejeruk [meat curries], Udang Metunu [grilled prawns], Satays, Nyat-nyat Siap [chicken and potato curry] and Cram Cam [seafood stew].

With a prior reservation Ratatouille will prepare the full Rijsttafel with 21 courses [Rp.350,000++ for 2 persons, min order]. Daily fresh fish, crabs and prawns are grilled over charcoal, they can be ordered separately or from a selection of mixed seafood combinations.

Just for this month of March popular Dutch singer Ben Heart performs Monday and Thursday evenings from 7.00 p.m. Very popular and very busy so early arrival and/or bookings are suggested.

Ratatouille serves basic well prepared food in a pleasant setting. The low prices become even cheaper when you consider the extra large servings. Guaranteed to cure the hunger pains of anyone, Dutch or French!

Non-Smoking Area : Yes.

Update Salt Tapas @ Sentosa hosts a tremendous Family Brunch every Sunday [11.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m]. They offer a 2 course menu at Rp. 155,000 [you can make 1 selection from the Nibbles menu and 1 from the Main, Dessert is Rp.50,000 extra] this includes one fruit juice + complimentary 15 min foot massage. There is a special kids menu at Rp. 85,000 including one fruit juice + unlimited churros. The kids area has baby sitters + pool toys. A DJ provides continuous background music. The food is a selection from the great Salt Tapas menu by Luke Mangan.

Nibbles include Salad of beetroot, asparagus, egg, radish and rocket with tarragon dressing, Crab Croquetos with chipotle mayonnaise and Taco of tempura prawn [pictured] with pineapple salsa and chilli aioli. Mains you can select from Crab Omelette [a Luke Mangan signature dish] with miso and an enoki mushroom salad, Barramundi or Baked Spicy Chicken Drumettes. For an extra Rp.50,000 you can order Spaghetti with crab, cuttlefish, lime & chiili or Lamb Cutlets with ras el hanout, baba ganoush, pistachio tabouleh and saffron yoghurt. Sides include Parmesan and truffle French fries and Moroccan cauliflower. It is a perfect Sunday feast, so relaxing by the big landscaped swimming pool which is freely available for use along with the changing rooms. Located in central Kerobokan behind what used to be The Living Room, off Raya Petitenget.

We proudly announce the reopening of

Sarong Best in Indonesia! Will Meyrick’s Sarong restaurant [Jln. Raya Petitenget] has been

voted as Indonesia’s best restaurant in last week’s S.Pelligreno awards ceremony in Singapore for Asia’s Best 50 Restaurants, sneaking in at no. 47 and the sole restaurant from Indonesia to make the list. Organized by Restaurant magazine, the people behind The World’s 50 Best Restaurants and Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants, Asia’s 50 Best Resaturants is a snapshot of the opinions and experiences of over 900 international restaurant industry experts. What constitutes “best” is left to the judgment of those trusted and well-travelled gourmets. The results are a simple computation of votes. Given that this well-constructed list is based on personal experiences it can never be definitive, but it is a honourable survey of current tastes. The final top 50 comprised 16 restaurants from China, 10 from Japan and 8 from Singapore, the balance was from all around Asia. No. 1 was Australian David Thompson’s Bangkok eatery, Nahm. It was opened to local ridicule 4 years ago…an Aussie coming to teach us how to cook Thai? ….but has won everyone over ever since! Nahm serves the royal cuisine of Thailand, with an incredible balance of taste and attention to detail. Bookings any night are essential! Co-incidently, Will Meyrick was tutored on Thai by Martin Boetz at Longrain in Sydney, Martin having been David Thompson’s star apprentice at the classic Darley Street Thai in the 1990’s. Many other David Thompson chefs have previously passed through Bali including David King at Begawan Giri and Sean Flakkelar with Aman resorts.

CasCades @ The Viceroy, Nagi village north-east of Ubud, recently hosted Belgian

celebrity chef Michael Vrijmoed. It was such a success, thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended, that they are doing it all again. Visiting is another famous chef, Vincent Florizoone from Grand Cabaret restaurant. Yes, he is another Belgian chef this time from Brugge. It is to be held Thursday evening [7.00 p.m.] March 13. He will be preparing a degustation menu that includes a signature Wagyu beef fillet stuffed with foie gras and truffle topped by a Belgian beer sauce.

A special night for the foodies of Ubud, prevous reservation is essential as only a limited number will be accepted.

Queen’s Tandoor has long been Bali’s most respected Indian restaurant, not only are the chefs imported from India but so are the chillies and other spices. Authentic it is! They now have a new Thali menu. Thali dishes vary from region to region in South Asia and are usually served in small bowls, called katori, which are placed on a round tray. Depending on the region, the thali consists of delicacies native to that region. In general, a thali begins with different types of breads such as puris or chapatis (rotis), and different vegetarian specialties (curries). Thali plates are served every day between midday and 5.00 p.m, they constitute a complete meal and comprise the five elements; green vegetables, daal, raita, cereal, bread and rice with spices and onions. There is a different section served each day of the week. Thali menus are served at all Queens restaurants in Bali [Seminyak, Nusa Dua, Tuban and Ubud].

Swich is not much more than a hole in the wall, small and funky! What do they sell? Simple sandwiches, but the best in town! Their specials are Crispy Bacon and Egg Roll, BLT on ciabatta, Roast Chicken Salad on baguette, Ham & Cheese wrap and the Chicken Schnitzel Burger. You are welcome to design your own sandwich. The original Swich is on Jln Werkudara, Legian [at the 66 end], but now new Swich cafes are also to be found in Seminyak [Jln. Drupadi] and Canggu [Jln. Pantai Brawa].

Rakuen Asia used to be in Raya Petitenget, down a narrow gang behind Gourmet Café. It disappeared a few years ago and has been re-located in Jln. Merthanadi, Kerobokan [that is the road that runs between Sunset and the Kerobokan jail, at the Sunset end]. The new location is small and very rustic, the cuisine an unusual one, Thai as served in Kyoto, Japan. Different but interesting! All the Thai standards are here. Tod Man Pla [fish cakes] and Tod Man Goong [prawn cakes] both with the correct cucumber relish, Po Pia Tod [spring rolls with the house sweet and sour, very good] and a Chinese Thai Lok Ching Kung, deep fried shrimp balls with sweet chilli sauce. Mee Grob is another dish the Thais borrowed from the Chinese and improved, it is a nice sweet dish to balance the more fiery ones, consisting of dried vermicelli noodles [mee hun] pan-fried in palm sugar, tamarind and fish sauce, this version having been tossed with shredded chicken and tofu. Rarely found on Thai menus in Bali it is a good dish to order to balance the meal, Thai style!

Teatro Gastroteque, Jln, Laksmana, Kerobokan has been the rave restaurant in Bali for

2013. As they offer dishes such as Butter Poached Lobster with caramelized cauliflower, truffle pure, spiced brioche, avruga caviar sphere, champagne sabayon and vanilla butter, perhaps there is good reason for that? Chef is a local from Irian Jaya, Mandif M. Warokka, but one who has traveled and achieved much in the Midde East and Europe, most recently working at Bali’s Banyan Tree. Now the big news for Ubud is that a Teatro Gastroteque is coming, late 2014, in a magnificent valley site with river view. The competition at the top end heats up!

ETHICS IN A COFFEE CUP

The kopi luwak story began back in 1991 when former coffee trader Tony Wild brought a single kilogram of it into the UK and introduced it to the Western consumer as a novelty. Wild, currently a coffee consultant and author of Coffee: A Dark History, is now an outspoken critic of the kopi luwak trade.

While helping a BBC team investigate civet-coffee farms in Sumatra he witnessed widespread animal abuse and launched a petition and social-media campaign, ‘Kopi Luwak: Cut the Crap,’ urging customers and companies to shun the product. (The BBC documentary can be seen at http:// projectluwaksg.wordpress.com/2013/10/31/luwak-guardiansunite) “When I introduced civet coffee to the UK it was a quirky novelty,” said Wild in a September 2013 article in the Guardian. “Now it’s overpriced, industrialised, cruel and frequently inauthentic. For the most part, civet coffee is not harvested in the wild in limited quantities but mass produced by animals kept in appalling conditions.”

I spoke with a European conservationist who’s helped in animal rescue centres in Bali, Java and Sulawesi. She has surveyed the palm civet or luwak in Java and Bali. “I saw them in forests in Java but not in the coffee plantations; they used to be common but now plantation owners buy anything they are able to catch and keep them caged to produce kopi luwak. In Bali she visited various so-called ‘eco-tourism’ centres which are often included in cycling tours and other tourist activities. All of them had a few small cages of luwak which visitors are told are for display; the workers claim that most of the kopi luwak is collected in the wild. This is almost certainly untrue. When asked how long the civets are kept in captivity, the workers openly told her they are wild caught and not released.

“The number of civets left in the wild is unknown because many are Captured for the local pet trade or kopi luwak farms,” she told me. “They are not protected by law and there have been very few studies done.” The palm civet is listed by the International Union for Nature Conservation Red List (Least Concern) but as it is being heavily poached the status could move to Near Threatened or Vulnerable.

According to an officer from the TRAFFIC Conservation program, the trade in civets to make kopi luwak may constitute a significant threat to wild civet populations. The common civet has a harvest quota system to be sold live as pets only, the kopi luwak trade is a loophole and so not technically illegal.

The kopi luwak trade is a very Wild estimates that the global production lucrative one. The product When on display workers from Indonesia, India, Vietnam, China often disturb the sleeping attracts high rollers who don’t flinch at spending £6,500 at and the Philippines is at least 50 tonnes nocturnal animals to feed Harrods for a 24-carat-gold them coffee cherries for a year, possibly much more foil bag of Terra Nera. For the visitors to photograph. The past decade or so, kopi luwak natural diet of omnivorous has been a fashion statement for conspicuous consumers luwak includes fruit, eggs, small lizards and nectar which seeking novelty and prestige. In New York or London a cup suggests that they require a broad range of nutrients. Caged, of kopi luwak can go for over $50. The beans are currently they may also be given some papaya and banana but the selling on Amazon for $25 an ounce. bulk of the diet is coffee berries, so malnutrition is inevitable.

Why is it so expensive? The industry claims the high price tag of is justified because only about 500 kilograms is collected in the wild every year. Frankly, dear reader, that’s a load of luwak poop.

There are some ethical suppliers but it’s much easier to capture/buy the civets, keep them in small cages and feed them almost nothing but coffee berries. This practice started in Indonesia but other coffee producing companies were quick to follow. Wild estimates that the global production from Indonesia, India, Vietnam, China and the Philippines is at least 50 tonnes a year, possibly much more. One single Indonesian farm claims to produce 7,000 kg a year from 240 caged civets.

Civets are the most-traded small animal in Java and Sumatra, appearing in many animal markets at prices ranging from Rp 300,000 to Rp 500,000 each. The animals nest in tree holes and the babies are often collected from the nest before they are weaned; the mortality rate is unknown.

“I know there is a big kopi luwak farm and coffee plantation in Lampung but I’ve never heard of or seen any large-scale kopi luwak farming on Bali,” Drh. I Gede Nyoman Bayu Wirayudha, founder and director of the Friends of the National Park Foundation. “Of course, keeping luwak in these conditions is not meeting animal welfare standards, especially since almost all of the luwak are wild caught. If businesses are using them commercially they should set up captive breeding programs and domesticate them.” Bayu Teguh Pribadi, founder of the Indonesian Civet Coffee told me that it made him very skeptical to see a place with Association, admitted in an interview with TIME magazine one or two civets on display and which is selling a lot of kopi that animal cruelty is rampant in the industry. “The luwaks luwak. This suggests that in Bali some of what is being sold aren’t treated well.

But it’s more cost effective to keep welfare against farmers’ income. Some Indonesians defend the animals in smaller cages; when they die they are the industry, saying that it provides a livelihood for the quickly replaced. “We tell farmers to focus on the quality, not country’s poor (although, of course, it’s the middlemen who the quantity of the product,” Teguh says. “It’s better if they really profit). Ideally, producers would comply with humane produce little but superior coffee, and don’t have dying civets.” treatment standards and begin to breed civets in captivity instead of Genuine Indonesian kopi luwak is collected from the taking them from the wild.

But off the Tourist Trail is available from : nowadays, it is practically impossible to find genuine wild - Ganesha Books in Ubud, Sanur and kopi luwak -- the only way to guarantee that would be to actually follow a luwak around all night yourself, one Seminyak experienced coffee trader told me.” An investigation by - Amazon downloadable for Kindle People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Asia found fraud to be rife in the kopi luwak industry, with producers labeling coffee from caged civets with a ‘wild E-mail: ibukatbali@gmail.com sourced’ or similar label. A BBC investigation revealed Copyright © 2014 Greenspeak similar findings. There is probably very little, if any, wildsourced kopi luwak around these days.

At Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, the Maison & Objet Asia exhibition fair offers numerous collections. Textiles, tableware, lighting, wallpaper, home accessories and designer objects will be presented to thousands of professionals from around the world to discover the latest news and innovations in interior design.

And, I’m delighted to report that along with a couple of Indonesian designers (Ong Cen Kuang and Wind & Whisper) are a few Bali based participants such as the CARLO collection, an exclusive range of contemporary furniture and accessories, hand-crafted in Bali from sustainable natural materials, designed for high-end residential, hospitality and super-yacht interiors. And the other is Escape Nomade who design, engineer and install easy to maintain luxury tents - which afford a low carbon foot print, fully re-cycled, with a philosophy to Simplicity, the new luxury!

It’s wonderful that Bali has some representation in the international arena of what will be one terri¿c eye-opening home and decor design exhibition.

BIASA +

BONA

MUST VISITS !

The Biasa Art Gallery has now been re-worked and is the location for a very smart resort range of menswear and cool objects. Walk through a melange of fascinating still life installations & plants to the under cover back area which provides a inviting space which doubles as a home retail area to the all day Friday fresh organic market. Buy your supply of extra fresh salad and vegetables, (the asparagus still snap fresh after four days in the crisper!) homemade breads and cakes along with food tasting treats of cookies, iced tea and sushi. Beautiful potted orchids are a must, along with a swish range of recycled bags that can opt as a plant holder, an indoor container for homewares or a chic shopping bag! Biasa + Jl Raya Seminyak, Seminyak. (just a few doors down from the main Biasa store for women)

Remember some years ago this very lovely Italian lady had a must-visit homeware store on Jl Raya Seminyak showcasing some really fabulous product.

Time passes and situations change. More recently, Bona has been part of the Mekong store located on the busy Jl Kayu Aya (also known as Jl Laksmana & Jl Oberoi) However, now you will now note there are two independent stores in the same space, one is Mekong and the other is BONA. Watch carefully as Bona, who has that very special ‘Italian eye’ when it comes to ¿nding uniTue pieces in fashion, accessories and jewelry, along with the odd tribal objet thrown in for good measure, will come up trumps offering us all some extra special merchandise!

Ubud for coffee! the best place is de¿nitely ‘Seniman’ a specialist coffee house that runs a tasting workshop and roastery. A most interesting hub! Jl Sriwedari is off Jl Raya Ubud on the left hand side prior to the right hand turn to Jl Hanoman.

To arrive at Seniman, you must ¿rst pass the French bistro Jendela House which has a distinctive colonial look of yesteryear, great interiors!

retailtherapym@yahoo.com.au

Back to Seminyak, try the bar resto on Jl Kayu Aya (about opposite the Red Carpet Bar) called La Favela, an authentic feel of Brazilian madness! And for the ultimate in a dining experience is Bambu (managed by the La Lucciola people) the interior such as smart tiled Àoors, Joglo, bamboo furniture, water and lush vegetation all go to set this as a tropical / urban Bali dining retreat at it’s best!

Canadian Beer Fridge Project Two men one fridge, a massive trip into the wilds of Indonesia by plane, donkey, rickety rope bridge, horse and cart and by any other conceivable means with a lot of beer, a reunion at the end, for an advert, and all in the name of Hockey? What is this madness? It could only be the Canadian beer fridge project! The project was one seriously wacky adventure / marketing campaign which has become a huge hit in Canada, and has made stars out of the 3 men involved.

invited to professional hockey games. Yea it’s been an amazing experience.”

What do people back home think?

“They think its super cool. Everyone is like “hey I know that guy.” I get Facebook friend requests five times a day, it’s funny considering the amount of times this thing has been aired you would have thought most people would have seen it by now but people are still calling me up and saying “when I saw you on TV I called everyone and told them I know that guy so everybody seems really happy and excited for us.”

What was it like to be on national TV? I caught up with one of the three, Morgan Girouard, for the Advertiser while he was in Bali, and this is what he had to say about it all.

So Morgan tell us what is the Canadian Beer fridge project?

“The Canadian beer fridge project is a marketing campaign that Molson Canadian started last year where they would bring a big red beer fridge all across Europe. They left these things in town squares all around Europe, which could only be opened with a Canadian passport. The fridge would be full of beer, and if you didn’t have a Canadian passport to scan it wouldn’t open. They got a whole bunch of tear jerking commercials out of it as Molson Canadian is a very patriotic company. That is pretty much what it’s about.”

How did you get involved in this?

“I was sponsored actually by basically a casting agent who had gotten my name from a good friend of mine.

He informed me that Molson were looking for a Canadian that was living not only abroad but also in a remote destination that made access to hockey extremely difficult and living on Gili air and my internet access in Indonesia pretty much covered that. Living on the Gili islands made a big contrast to life in Canada which was exactly what they were looking for.”

How did you feel when the fridge arrived? “ Amazed……First off I had no idea the beer fridge was even coming, all I heard was Molson was sending their advertising agent to film the commercial, but I had no idea that the beer fridge and my friends would be delivering it to me.

I actually still have the beer fridge they left it behind so it’s sat in my office on Gili air at Gili developments.”

What was it like drinking a Canadian beer with your friends on Indonesian soil?

It was cool, you know as Canadians we are pretty patriotic and it was all very nostalgic, to see my friends for the first time in a year and have them there was obviously a very emotional experience, and one I will never forget.

The sunset that night was just amazing and we completely forgot the film crew was there even though they were behind us, so we just gathered on the beach drinking beer and watching the sun go down it was amazing.

“That was really cool yea it didn’t last very long but just before the Olympic hockey the national news was on and we were invited to talk about our story and it was real neat, I don’t get butterflies in my stomach very often but this was definitely one of those cases, but I think we did a good job and it was a lot of fun.

How do you think this will affect your business on the Gili’s?

Well its already helping the business and any exposure is good exposure but we are still looking for investors, we are in the final stages of our development project and we have been contacted by lots of people who are interested which is great, I mean the more the merrier, and the more exposure it happen great for my project.

The one question my readers will really want to know is how much free beer did you get?

We got about 23 cases and I suppose when that runs out I can ask for more!

What does the future hold for Morgan Girouard?

Well I’d like to become a property developer; I would like to build a couple of beautiful resorts here in Indonesia and eventually all around the world.

My true passion is to build but I have no talent for actually being a tradesman myself, though I do have a vision and I like to see that through from the foundations to the finished structure and the sale of the property at the end, that’s what I do, that’s what I live to do.

Are you going to remain a celebrity?

“Probably not, I think this is just my fifteen minutes of fame, if anything else comes of it then all well and good, but I think this is really just my 15 minutes of being famous and I intend to enjoy it while it lasts.”

C/G/G-27 Nov. 13

Molson reached out to more than 3,000 employees requesting stories of Canadians living in interesting places around the world and settled on Morgan’s journey to the Gili Islands. The trip took roughly 3 days and did definitely use some Hollywood license as we all know that the Gill’s aren’t the back of beyond and yes you can get to them by fast boat from Nusa Dua, Sanur and many other places on Bali. The Canadian Beer fridge project, is not only a great thing for Canada and Molson, but also is sure to attract a lot more Canadians to Indonesia, and who knows maybe beer fridge trails will become a tourist attraction in their own right! Stranger things have happened.

How big has this thing become?

You can watch the full advert on YouTube by simply typing in Canadian beer fridge Indonesia.

“It’s gotten pretty big. We are at almost two million hits on YouTube for the English version and a couple of thousand hits for the French version, we just did a national news broadcast and magazine interview and we have been attacked by girls in bars, its’ just crazy! We have also been

Indonesia’s Best Consumer Bank: Bank BNI (Bank Negara Indonesia) has won awards in Indonesia for their outstanding customer services with more than 1300 branches and more than 5000 ATMs throughout Indonesia. Their services are also open to KITAS and KIMS and KITAP foreign visa holders.

Money transfers through BNI can be done for Rp30, 000 at 1,631 Alfamart minimarket outlets nationwide. BNI also offers micro-loan credit services, BPJS national health insurance and life insurance plans, BNI Giro checking account for businesses and individuals; small business services like BNI Taplus Business (with no monthly charges), mortgages, retirement accounts, the Virtual Account for monthly payments into a savings to attend Udayana University. BNI started the country’s first children’s savings account (BNI Taplus Anak), which can be opened with Rp100,000 and accepts minimum deposits of only Rp10,000 with no administration fee; kids receive an ATM card to make their cash deposits and a savings book so they can see their money grow. BNI gives out free calendars and umbrellas. Of all of Indonesia’s banks, BNI also has the most international presence with branches and representatives offices in Asia, the Americas, Europe and the Middle East where BNI ATM credit/debit cards can be used (MasterCard, Link, Cirrus).

Restaurant of the Month: Hidden away down an alley off Monkey Forest Road, Warung Garasi is a clean, quiet, cheap and relaxing 5-table open-kitchen restaurant serving authentic home cooked Indonesian and Balinese food with friendly service and artistic ambience (Vespa motor scooters converted to bar stools!). Though small, homely and with limited menu, it is extremely good value for Ubud and the food is not dumbed (which means a little spicy). Three people can eat and drink their fill for as little as Rp100,000. Try chilli prawns, nasi goreng, soto ayam, gado-gado and black rice pudding at prices well below any other nearby eatery. Freshly made juices, delicious ice tea; beer and homemade rice wine are the only alcoholic beverages. It’s also great to find a place serving traditional Indonesian food among all the western-style cafes. Clean toilets. Does a very active business in takeaway.

Head north from the Monkey Forest and after 500 meters you’ll come to a DVD store on the left. Warung Garasi is down the next lane after this on the left (opposite the bright green Hotel Inata sign for). Ask for Pak Bobby, the owner. Closed Sundays.

Minitips: It’s cheaper to buy cut wood during Bali’s rainy season. Why? Demand is down because there’s not so much construction going on. One lie that hotel front desk clerks tell most often is that all of the hotel’s rooms are the same; they aren’t, and a good desk clerk will know the specifics about each one of them if you rub them the right way. Bali cops tend to come out in force the last week of the month as their pay runs out and they’re looking for a little extra cash. Copy shops around schools tend to have the best prices for copying and scanning. The John Fawcett Foundation (http://balieye.org) programs offers free of charge to the economically disadvantaged children’s corrective surgery, eyeglasses, assistance to desperately ill children and young people, cataract surgery and prosthetic eyes. All Bali Buda outlets (Jl. Jembawan 1 in front of Ubud Post Office; Jl. Banjar Anyar 25 in Kerobokan and Jl. Raya Uluwatu at the curve of the Karma Hotel in Bukit) sell half price day-old bread. Best commercial coffee available on Bali is the Cap Kupu Kupu Bola Dunia brand for sale in Kerta Jaya stores in 240 gr, 500 gr (only Rp15,000!) and 1 kg sizes. Smell exhaust fumes inside your car? Drive to a place where there are no other cars and sniff again. If it’s your car, there’s a leak in your exhaust system

and fumes are feeding into your car. Fix immediately.

Fruits in season: The prickly indescribable heavenly durian are now plentiful and cheap, only around Rp10,000 for a small one, Rp25,000 for a large one in Bali’s rural areas (in the city, prices are 20% higher). It’s also the season for Kepundung Rp6000-Rp8000/kg and Rambutan Rp5000/kg, a valuable source of Vitamin C, which tastes sweet sour with a light aroma. Also widely available at this time is the Javanese variety of salak grown on Bali called the Salak Pondoh Rp8000-9000/kg from Pupuan and the Salak gula pasir is from Sebetan. Even though it’s in season and available everywhere, the deep reddish-purple mangosteen (mangis) is still expensive – around Rp15000/kg (supermarket Rp18,000/kg).

With the possible exception of durian, mangosteens the most expensive of Indonesia’s fruits. You don’t get many of the fruits to a kilo either, only 7-8, because of all the thick heavy rind that make up the fruit. To open, squeeze gently but strongly between the palms. Mangosteen that have fallen from the tree are bruised but still edible. Coconuts can be harvested year round, even now in the middle of the rainy season.

Solar Lighting: Solar lights, which can be used for all kinds of purposes, use the sun as an alternative to electricity. Models with an integrated solar PV panel can be used inside the pool as accent lighting, storing energy for 3 days or more depending on the battery or capacitor. Solar lighting systems using an external solar PV cell can be installed on the roof. Solar lights with integrated solar PV (photovoltaic) cells also are used in the garden, to highlight walkways, light up parking areas or even for integrated paving light bright enough to be seen by drivers. Another, besides that of savings on electricity, are that they need much less maintenance and use no cables which are prone to damage by rodents, inclement weather, electric shorts and human error. Solar lights are not affected by power cuts. Solar lights with integrated solar PV cells cost as little as Rp400,000 and can be used for various purposes.

Guarantee for most products is one year. Buy or view at ecoSmart - Smart Building & Lifestyle Solutions, Jl. Sunset Road 112X (opposite Rip Curl), tel. 0361-752-133, email: info@littletreebali.com, web: www.littletreebali.com.

Warning on alcohol: If you’re paying under $1 for any type of drink in Bali, the alcohol is either fake, home brewed or most probably arak, a local drink costing around Rp35,000 per liter bottle which is generally of village moonshine manufacture. This clear liquor made from palm sap, which can be drunk neat or mixed with a sweet additive (“jungle juice”, arak madu, etc.), is usually much cheaper than many alcoholic beverages imported from the West. But with regular and ongoing incidents of alcohol tampering in Indonesia, with fatal consequences, it is very risky drinking at any venue that offers you EXTREMELY CHEAP drinks or deals that are too cheap to be believed (or to be trusted). One way to avoid problems is to drink alcohol only out of a genuine distillery sealed bottle. Or stick with wine, beer, brem (rice wine), tuak (palm wine) or imported Western liquor.

Toko of the Month: Alamboga (http://www.alamboga.com) is a retail/wholesale outlet and distributor of high quality national and international products that are imported from Australia and New Zealand directly into Bali avoiding the costly JakartaBali land connection. Based at DIJON’s in Kuta, they deliver by pickup or refrigerated truck to your doorstep or you can make special arrangements with them to drop off your order at a more convenient location at no charge. The prices for nuts and seeds are particularly good deals. A few examples

of super Best Buys: Natural almonds Rp143,000 kg; Alfalfa seeds Rp189,200 kg; Walnut halves Rp219,450 kg; white vinegar Rp44,000 per 5 liter jug; apple cider vinegar Rp38,500 1 liter bottle; tahini paste Rp81,4000 1 kg; ground organic coconut palm sugar Rp27,500 kg; dried apricots Rp65,250 kg; Extra Virgin Olive Oil Rp75,000 per liter if you buy a 4 liter tin. Alamboga also carries niche products like Javara’s rice, spices and gluten free lines. If a business or individual can’t afford the minimum Rp500,000 order, go in with others to make the order for free delivery. Not having to drive and being able to get these products in one quick order is a blessing.

Address: PT Alamboga Internusa, Jl. Sunia Negara 33, Denpasar, Bali, tel. 0361-720 200/710 673-5, hp 081-338368-160/081-735-6575, email: info@alamboga.com. Payment by cash (3% discount), credit card (warehouse only) or credit account. Additional discounts for purchases over 200 kg.

Return policy 24 hours.

Kal Star: A number of cool regional airlines serve Indonesia’s outer islands. One of the best and cheapest is the new Kal Star, which flies to the Indonesian territory of Kalimantan on Borneo. They offer several promotional fares which you can buy online by credit card (ATM BCA, Mandiri ATM, DOKU pay) or pay by “transfer” at an ATM. Payment verification is by email. For example, the fare is only around Rp692,000 (including tax) for an “Attractive” class OW from Surabaya to Pangkalanbun. This particular flight is your chance to see orangutan in the wild. Take the night bus (Rp150,000) departing Bali from 4 pm to 8 pm and arrive in Surabaya at 4 am, then board the 8:55 am Kal Star flight to Pangkalanbun, central Kalimantan. From Pangkalanbun, it’s a short bus ride to Kumai, the jumping off river port to the Tanjung Putih National Park. If you’re lucky, you can see orangutans in the wild upriver at Camp Leaky.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid!

By Vaughan Hatch

Why do people here talk about money ALL THE TIME? – Part II Money is generally kept private in western culture, but not so in Bali. People regularly have the ‘m’ word (pis) on the tips of their tongues, talking about how much so and so bought a property for or how much so and so lost in a cockfight. In Bali, and most other parts of Indonesia for that matter, you pay for absolutely everything: education, medical expenses, even to use the most filthy public toilet. Then there are all those backhanders that people regularly pay to the police to get out of a court summons for traffic offenses, or to obtain a driver’s licence without sitting the tests. In fact, many people in Bali are suspicious if something is free – there are some free public health services, as well as free cataract operations provided by NGOs. There must be some catch, the average person thinks.

The tourism industry only exaggerates the problem. Those who work in the tourism industry and regularly receive tips in foreign currencies are envied by those who don’t. This only leads to social jealousy which is a huge problem in Bali, with people constantly trying to outdo their family members or neighbors in terms of material possessions. Perhaps this is due to the communal nature of Balinese society where everyone knows each other’s business because they live together or hang out on the side of road forever delving deeper into the neighborhood gossip.

Bali is essentially still a poor, developing society but with extremes of wealth. I know of Balinese who earn less than IDR500,000 a month but also those who earn a billion rupiah a month. Extreme inequality means that money is a constant talking-point and source of extreme envy.

As Balinese become more middle class, I wonder if less people will talk about money – just as less people today stare at foreigners in the tourism or city areas. As Balinese use less physical cash and opt for plastic money, this could be the case; but I think this could be a long way in the future.

Eating Healthy is no Walk in the Park The hidden costs for the vegetarian & vegan

There are many reasons why people choose to go vegetarian or vegan. Some are motivated by the environmental impact of conÀnement animal feeding operations (CAFO) and the ill treatment of animals and the manner of their raising and slaughter. Others are guided by ethical concerns or religious reasons.

Having stopped eating meat over 20 years ago myself I certainly subscribe to some of the above reasons and respect the decisions people make about the social and moral impact of their food choices, although in my case I am not actually a vegetarian as I continue to eat ¿sh. Many people also choose a vegetarian diet because they believe that it’s the nutritionally healthier choice. But is this in fact so? For the last ¿fty years, we’ve been told that meat, eggs and animal fats are bad for us, and that we will live longer and enjoy better health if we minimize or avoid them. This idea has been so thoroughly sold to the public at large that few of us question it. In fact, most of us probably assume a vegetarian or vegan diet is healthier than an omnivorous one. The truth as usual is a good deal more complex and the assumption is largely incorrect.

omnivores as a result.

Plant-based diets emphasize vegetables, which are nutrient dense, and fruits, which are less so. Most vegetarian or vegan diets typically include large amounts of cereal grains and legumes, both of which are low in bio-available nutrients and high in anti-nutrients such as phytate (phytic acid) present to varying degrees in all grains, legumes and nuts are not digestible by us non-ruminants and are to be consumed very sparingly since they bind to and remove magnesium, calcium, zinc and iron from the body leading to de¿ciencies. Organ meats, meats, ¿sh and shell¿sh, which are among the most nutrient-dense of foods, are particularly avoided by vegetarians.

Fat-soluble vitamins: A and D: possibly the biggest problem with vegetarian and vegan diets, is their near total lack of two fat-soluble vitamins: A and D which play critical roles in human health. Vitamin A promotes healthy immune function, fertility, eyesight and skin. Vitamin D regulates calcium metabolism, regulates immune function, reduces inÀammation and protects against some forms of cancer. These vitamins are concentrated in animal foods: primarily seafood, organ meats, eggs and dairy products (which explains why vitamin D levels are 58% lower in vegetarians and 74% lower in vegans than in omnivores). The idea that plant foods contain vitamin A is a common misconception since the conversion is inef¿cient. A single serving of liver per week would meet the RDA of 3,000 IU. To get the same amount from plant foods, you’d have to eat 2 cups of carrots, one cup of sweet potatoes or 2 cups of kale every day.

Vegan diets are almost completely devoid of certain nutrients crucial for physiological function. Studies show that both vegetarians and vegans are prone to de¿ciencies in B12, calcium, iron, zinc, the long-chain fatty acids EPA and DHA, plus fat-soluble vitamins like A & D. It makes sense then for anyone who is vegetarian or vegan, or considering an exclusively plant-based diet, to take a look at the importance of these essential nutrients listed here and how to obtain them elsewhere.

Vitamin B12 de¿ciency is very common among vegetarians and vegans. Studies show that 68% of vegetarians and 83% of vegans are B12 de¿cient, compared to just 5% of omnivores. Vitamin B12 works together with folate in the synthesis of DNA and red blood cells. It’s involved in the production of the myelin sheath around the nerves, and the conduction of nerve impulses. In other words it‘s vital to optimum brain function and a key factor in warding off dementia and Alzheimer’s. A common if understandable myth amongst vegetarians and vegans is that it’s possible to get B12 from plant sources like seaweed, fermented soy, spirulina and brewers yeast.

But plant foods said to contain B12 actually contain B12 analogs called cobamides that block the intake of, and increase the need for true B12.

Calcium: on paper, calcium intake is similar in vegetarians and omnivores but much lower in vegans, who are often de¿cient. But calcium bio-availability from plant foods is affected by the levels of oxalate and phytate, which inhibit calcium absorption and decrease the amount of calcium the body extracts from plant foods. So while leafy greens like spinach and kale do have relatively high calcium content, the calcium is not actually easily obtained via digestion so trying to get your daily calcium needs from plant foods alone (rather than dairy products or bone-in ¿sh) is not a great strategy.

Iron: as with calcium, although vegetarians eat as much iron as omnivores, the bio-availability of the iron they consume is much lower. The iron found in plant foods is not only less bio-available, it is also inhibited by other substances, which explains why vegetarians and vegans have lower iron stores than omnivores, and why vegetarian diets have been shown to reduce iron absorption by 70% to 85%.

Zinc intake for vegetarian is usually sub-optimal. It’s another case of bio-availability; many plant foods containing zinc also contain phytate, which inhibits zinc absorption. Vegetarian diets tend to reduce zinc absorption by about 35% compared with an omnivorous diet. Studies suggest vegetarians can require up to 50% more zinc than

EPA & DHA: plant foods do contain linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) but these essential fatty acids can’t be synthesized by the body and must be obtained in the diet. The bene¿ts of EPA & DHA are clear, they play a protective and therapeutic role in a wide range of diseases: cancer, asthma, depression, cardiovascular disease, ADHD, and autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. While it is possible for some alphalinolenic acid from plant foods to be converted into EPA & DHA, the conversion is poor: between 5-10% for EPA and 2-5% for DHA. Vegetarians therefore have 30% lower levels of EPA & DHA than omnivores, while vegans have 50% lower EPA and nearly 60% lower DHA.

But don’t vegetarians live longer?

Well, yes and no… while it’s true that some studies do ¿nd vegetarians and vegans enjoy longer life spans, these studies are distorted by the “healthy user bias”. The healthy user bias is a scienti¿c way of saying that people who engage in one behavior that is perceived as healthy (whether it is or not) are more likely to engage in other behaviors that are healthy. Thus, vegetarians tend to be more health conscious than the general population and less likely to smoke or drink excessively and more likely to exercise, eat fruits and vegetables and take care of themselves. And of course the Àip side is also true: those that engage in unhealthy behaviors are more likely to engage in other unhealthy behaviors. In other words if vegetarians do live longer than omnivores you can’t say it’s because they’re vegetarian….

Summing up With care and attention it is possible to meet nutrient needs with a vegetarian diet that includes liberal amounts of pasture-raised, full-fat dairy and eggs, with the exception of EPA and DHA, omega fats found exclusively in marine algae, ¿sh and shell¿sh. So the only way to get them on a vegetarian diet is to take a microalgae supplement (which contains DHA) or bend the rules and take ¿sh oil or cod liver oil as a supplement. Most clinical nutritionists don’t think it possible to meet nutrient needs on a vegan diet without substantial supplementation. Vegan diets are low in B12, bio-available iron and zinc, choline, vitamin A & D, calcium, and EPA and DHA. So if you’re intent on following a vegan diet, you need to seriously consider supplementing with these nutrients. While it is possible to address these nutritional shortcomings through targeted supplementation and there’s a good case for selectively doing so, it makes most sense to meet nutritional needs from real food.

The danger is that so many of us remain unaware of or are misinformed about the potential for nutrient de¿ciencies posed by their dietary choices and which over an extended period can seriously compromise our health.

PARADISE...

IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH

By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

HAVING A BAD DAY? Or are you DEPRESSED? Part 1 As a younger professional I never really understood depression. It didn’t seem to make a lot of sense.

Seemingly fit, healthy people that stared off into space, and couldn’t be bothered to get out of bed. A swift kick in the pants and a good dose of reality should work shouldn’t it?

But the “get up and get-over-it” attitude changed when the big “D” came knocking close to home.

Depression is indeed a crippling disease. Depression is not visible like most physical illness, there is no black and white form of the disease, it comes and goes as it pleases and many do not recognize it in themselves or the ones around them. They suffer in silence truly believing the feelings of worthlessness that abide.

We all feel sad, moody or low from time to time, some people experience these feelings intensely, for long periods of time (weeks, months or even years) and sometimes without any apparent reason. Depression is more than just a low mood – it’s a serious illness that has an impact on both physical and mental health What causes depression?

While the exact cause of depression isn’t known, a number of things can be associated with its development.

Generally, depression does not result from a single event, but from a combination of recent events and other longer-term or personal factors.

Life events Research suggests that continuing difficulties – long-term unemployment, living in an abusive or uncaring relationship, long-term isolation or loneliness, prolonged exposure to stress at work – are more likely to cause depression than recent life stresses. However, recent events (such as losing a job) or a combination of events can ‘trigger’ depression in people who are already at risk because of past bad experiences or personal factors.

Personal factors • Family history – Depression can run in families and some people will be at an increased genetic risk.

However, this doesn’t mean that a person will automatically experience depression if a parent or close relative has had the illness. Life circumstances and other personal factors are still likely to have an important influence.

• Personality – Some people may be more at risk of depression because of their personality, particularly if they have a tendency to worry a lot, have low selfesteem, are perfectionists, are sensitive to personal criticism, or are self-critical and negative.

• Serious medical illness – Having a medical illness can trigger depression in two ways. Serious illnesses can bring about depression directly, or can contribute to depression through associated stress and worry, especially if it involves long-term management of the illness and/or chronic pain.

• Drug and alcohol use – Drug and alcohol use can both lead to and result from depression. Many people with depression also have drug and alcohol problems.

Changes in the brain What happens in the brain to cause depression is not fully understood. Evidence suggests it may be related to changes in the levels or activity of certain chemicals – particularly serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine – which are the three main chemicals related to mood and motivation that carry messages within the brain. Changes to stress hormone levels have also been found in people with depression. Research suggests that behavior can affect brain chemistry – for example, long-term stress may cause changes in the brain that can lead to depression.

Changes in brain chemistry have been more commonly associated with severe depression rather than mild or moderate depression.

C/He/I-27 Nov 13

Everyone is different and it’s often a combination of factors that can contribute to a person developing depression. You cannot always identify the cause of depression or change difficult circumstances. The most important thing is to recognize the signs and symptoms and seek help.

Signs and symptoms A person may be depressed if, for more than two weeks, he or she has felt sad, down or miserable most of the time or has lost interest or pleasure in usual activities, and has also experienced several of the signs and symptoms across at least three of the categories below.

Everyone may experience some of these symptoms from time to time and it may not necessarily mean a person is depressed. Equally, not every person who is experiencing depression will have all of these symptoms.

Behaviour • not going out anymore • not getting things done at work/school • withdrawing from close family and friends • relying on alcohol and sedatives • not doing usual enjoyable activities • unable to concentrate Feelings • overwhelmed • guilty • irritable • frustrated • lacking in confidence • unhappy • indecisive • disappointed • miserable • sad Thoughts • ‘I’m a failure.’

• ‘It’s my fault.’

• ‘Nothing good ever happens to me.’

• ‘I’m worthless.’

• ‘Life’s not worth living.’

• ‘People would be better off without me.’

Physical • tired all the time • sick and run down • headaches and muscle pains • churning gut • sleep problems • loss or change of appetite • significant weight loss or gain If you think that you, or someone you know, may have depression, there is a quick, easy and confidential checklist you can complete to give you more insight. The checklist will not provide a diagnosis – for that you need to see a health professional. (Next edition types of depression & treatment)

WHAT’S SPECIAL IN THE SPA

I’m always on the look-out for new unique experiences in spas and discovered some wonderful new treatments you should try. It’s like going to a restaurant, you usually eat your favourite dishes but they may have a special that day which sounds yummy, something different. Or you go to a new restaurant and as you peruse the menu your eye lands on a dish you’ve never heard of, reading the description you begin to salivate, you’re enticed to give it a try. It’s the same in a spa, go ahead and try something different, you never know, you’ll probably like it.

Going to Echo Beach I spotted a sign for Sparkling Iceballs facial, which sounded intriguing and enticed me to go check it out.

This sixty minute energizing facial uses pressure points massage and meridian therapy using natural products.

The grand ¿nale utilizes two beautiful glass balls with blue stems ¿lled with water, which are icy-cold. I was pretty relaxed towards the end of the facial and enjoyed the scintillating sensation of the iceballs being stroked over the face to soothe the skin and close the pores.

When I heard about bamboo massage my mind started spinning with the possibilities of what this entailed.

I had to try this out in Sanur at Cosmo Spa. I’ve had several excellent massages here in the past and expected good things. The massage started off with strong Shiatsu pressure points over the legs and back, releasing the tension in my muscles. Then she applied some lavender massage oil and began stroking the muscles. After a few minutes the therapist grabbed a bamboo stick about forty centimeters long and three centimeters thick and used it to stroke over the back and leg muscles with ¿rm pressure. It was a very pleasant sensation, feeling like all the toxins were being guided out of my body.

It reminded me a rolling pin. She was careful not to glide over the bones as this has the possibility of causing pain, but the experienced therapist is very good and never caused me any discomfort. Lying face up the bamboo wasn’t used as there are simply too many bones to avoid she continued the massage with pressure points and long strokes. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable massage and I would have it again.

In Ubud you can ¿nd many alternative healing techniques.

I discovered The Raindrop Technique at Taksu Spa, which uses Young Living therapeutic grade essential oils from the USA and named thus because the essential oils are dripped about ¿fteen centimeters above the spine feeling like gentle raindrops. The Raindrop uses aromatherapy, Vita-Àex technique, an ancient Tibetan healing method meaning “vitality through the reÀexes”; using light pressure to create an electric charge that is therapeutic to the body and Feather Stroking a soft stroke massage.

Seven single essential oils, two blends and one massage oil

blend are applied along the spine, feet and neck to bring balance and alignment to the body with gentle feather-like strokes. The bene¿ts of Raindrop Technique are balance and re-align the energy centers of the body, reduce stress, boost the immune system, ease muscle, bone and joint discomfort, emotional wellbeing and help detox the body.

The Young Living oils are: • Thyme - attacks viruses and bacteria by penetrating the skin and traveling throughout the body • Oregano - has anti-inÀammatory, antibacterial and antiviral properties • Basil - has antispasmodic activity that relaxes muscles as well as anti-inÀammatory and antimicrobial • Wintergreen - is anti-inÀammatory and pain-relieving.

Excellent for the bones.

• Cypress - improves circulation and relieves spasms/ swelling. It also helps heal damaged tissue.

• Marjoram - relaxes muscles and lowers blood pressure.

• Peppermint - has pain-killing properties and is also antimicrobial, working synergistically with the other oils to enhance their activity. It also stimulates circulation and cools inÀamed tissue.

• Valor (blend) - cleanses the energy ¿eld to align and balance.

• Aroma Siez (blend) is antispasmodic blend of essential oils that helps relax sore, tense or inÀamed muscles.

• Ortho Ease Massage Oil - acts as an antioxidant, stimulates circulation and alleviates sore muscles and joints.

Starting with the feet, the therapist uses a warm towel to clean the feet and then applies each of the oils to the ReÀexology zone for the spine on the inside edge of each foot.

Lying face down the therapist dropped the oils one by one along my spine making it tingle and used various gentle strokes a few centimeters from the spine. The treatment ended with a lovely neck massage using peppermint oil. The Raindrop Technique™ isn’t so much of a whole body massage, but a stimulation through the oils and speci¿c tissue movements on the spine to support the body’s self healing abilities. I felt completely relaxed with a warm tingling spine when I left.

Taksu Spa in the heart of Ubud off Jl. Hanuman.

Tel: 0361-971490 www.Taksuspa.com info@taksuspa.com Perhaps one of the best four-hand rituals I’ve ever experienced is the Ida Pinggala at Fivelements. This unique massage uses the polarities of male and female energies. Standing on either side of me two therapists, one a man and one a woman in a short prayer as I take deep breaths to expand my awareness. Then I’m asked to lie face down and the dance begins with ¿rm pressure applied over my entire body, one partner at the lower body, the other at the upper on one side. Their hands move up and down my body in a steady rhythm lulling me into a deep state of relaxation. The cover sarong is gently removed and soothing warm streams of coconut oil Àow over my body. The synchronized dancing hands return to glide, knead, stretch and apply acupressure, as I feel the tension and knots melt from my muscles.

I space-out and go with the Àow. Later during the front stage of the ritual one pair of hands worked on the feet and legs while the other focused on the shoulders, neck and head.

Afterwards I felt deeply relaxed yet energized. You’ve gotta try this. Fivelements Wellness Destination.

Old Boy After a wild night on the town, an alcoholic advertising man wakes up in a strange institution, which is masquerading as a hotel. In this peculiar prison the man is held captive for the next 20 years, without any reason. On his eventual release, the man is determined to find out who did this to him, and why? Spike Lee’s gripping new thriller is not an original work. In-fact, it is a re-make of a Korean film of the same name, however, Spike Lee adapts the movie with a tremendous amount of American flair, and, imparts to it a lot of style and suspense. As the man determined to get to the truth, even though he must use some desperate methods, Josh Brolin gives a great performance.

Frozen A princess is cursed with a curious gift and anything she touches turns to ice. When she is crowned Queen of her realm, fearing the harm she might bring to her subjects, she flees her castle and goes to live in a remote ice palace of her own making. Having now learned of the curse, the princess’ sister goes in search of her, to try and convince her to return. Along the way the sister has many adventures.

Walt Disney’s new animated-movie comes close to being an operetta. The music and songs are delightful, and, the visual images are just gorgeous. Young kiddies and parents will love this splendid cartoon.

Homefront Sylvester Stallone penned the script for this terrific action movie, obviously with the intention of writing a nice juicy role for himself, but, thank god, he had enough sense to realize that he was too old for it, and, handed the part over to Jason Statham. A widowed DEA agent goes into retirement, and, with his 10 year old daughter, chooses to live in a small Southern town. There, on the flimsiest of excuses, a group of redneck thugs try to harass him and his daughter. Far too late, they discover that they have bitten off much more than they can chew. Jason Statham gives a formidable performance, which totally lives up to his reputation of an outstanding ‘Action Superstar’.

Thor 2, The Dark World*# I am crazy about 3D movies, therefore, it will come as no surprise that I am crazy about this second installment of the Thor mythology. In the new film, Thor has to tie-up some loose ends back on his home planet, which, of course, are the works of his conniving and evil young brother. However, Thor’s earthling girlfriend gets involved in the fracas, and, inadvertently becomes part of the problem. Okay, the plot is just a little bit mundane and predictable, but, who cares? This movie is not about plot.

This movie is all about 3D special effects, and, they are fantastic! Chris Hemsworth makes a great Nordic god.

Both ‘Thor 1 & 2’ are now available in scintillating 3D. Anna Nicole A few years ago Anna Nicole Smith, a young actress/ model/pole-dancer, gained a certain amount of notoriety by marrying an 86 year old billionaire. However, once tasting fame, she was determined to hold on to it, and, with the help of her husband and a sleazy manager, she was able to achieve a kind of ‘Playboy Magazine’ celebrity success. Booze and prescription drugs were to lead to her downfall and early death. Even though this is a rather cheap and tacky bio-pic, it presents an intriguing form of ‘Popular Culture’ cinema.

Nurse Speaking about ‘Pop Culture’, here is another deliberately cheap and tacky movie. Still, beneath all the blatant provocation, lies a strong story. The film concerns a feminist nurse who sees her profession as a means to kill as many ‘male-chauvinist-pigs’ as she possibly can. The nurse uses all the innocuous drugs and devices available to her at a big hospital to go about her slaughter.

SCHEDULE THAT Aromatherapy Essential (March) I don’t normally schedule spa treatments but I could not resist this one. This is all about indulgence with a 1 hour aromatherapy massage at the Spa Uluwatu.

Receive care with a bath of oil with the choices of calming Lavender, relaxing Jasmine and Mandarin and uplifting Frangipani. This offer runs through the month of March which coincidentally coincides with Mother’s Day if you are from the UK. A great gift! If you need sheer indulgence in a beautiful setting this is definitely recommended.

Contemporary Jazz. Being fully experienced in this field makes her able to breathe a living soul into whatever song she plays. She performed at the Java Jazz Festivals and many international festivals. Nita Aartsen (piano, vocals) will perform with Adi Darmawan (bass), Jalu Pratidina (percussion) and Michael Haack (tenor and baritone saxophone). It is worth driving up for the evening if it is not possible to stay over to enjoy the ambience and music.

Vincent’s Restaurant also offers great food (meat, fish and vegetarian), nice international wines and a wild range of cocktails. Come along and enjoy this nice, relaxing atmosphere and listen to some jazz.

Homo Ludens Baliensis or Man at Play in Bali The element of play is of primordial importance in the development of a human being. It is universally accepted that children learn valuable skills and life lessons in play. It also stimulates the development of creativity like no other activity.

Anyone who observes children at play can easily conclude that play to children is like entering a magical world where there are no boundaries, no limits to magic. All their fantasies can become reality to them. They are so absorbed in role playing and in the essence of their games that the real world ceases to exist. Only the core values they have been taught by their environment - like fair play, compassion, and social etiquette- create the boundaries of their games. But the rest is all imagination and creativity without restrictions. Whether it is a game of football, tag, cowboys & Indians, hosting a tea-party for imaginary friends or playing dress-up with real friends, the game is a way of recreating a world that is better suited to the child’s imagination than the real world ever can be.

Play never leaves us as we grow older; it just morphs into more organized pursuits like a baseball game, an exhilarating sport like surfing, or translates itself into a hobby. Play can be a team sport, a family activity or a solitary pastime. It can be cooperative, competitive, or self-challenging. In a normal childhood play is the majority of time spent. As we grow into teens and adults play is by and large confined to “free time” but still retains its importance. It may serve as relaxation from work, as a tonic for revitalization or to afford repose to the soul. It seems to contain in itself all the joy and delight of life.

Play runs the gamut from active, exhaustive sports to sedentary, relaxing board games, brain games and chance games.

Dutch historian J. Huizinga invented the nomenclature of Homo Ludens in an interesting study published in 1944 and entitled Homo Ludens: A Study of the Play-Element in Culture.

He defines play as a central activity in flourishing societies.

Like civilization, play requires structure and participants willing to observe limits and rules. He posits that “perhaps on the same level as Homo Sapiens, Homo Ludens, Man the Player, deserves a place in our nomenclature.” Ludens is derived from the Latin verb ludere (to play) and ludus (game). Our modern adjective ludic also derives from the same root.

Play, as Huizinga notes, is different from ordinary life.

Play is genuine because play is a voluntary act. It stands on its own as an activity, as a social function or as a cultural factor in life. Play and culture are tightly interwoven because genuine, pure play is one of the main bases of civilization.

Play is a cultural phenomenon though it is older than culture itself. Before there were humans in the world, animals were at play. Animals play just like people. We have only to watch young dogs to see that all the essentials of human play are present in their merry frolicking. They invite one another to play by a certain demeanor of attitude and gesture. They keep to the rule that you shall not bite, or not bite hard, your playmate’s ear. And, what is most important, in all these doings they plainly experience tremendous fun and enjoyment.

The why and wherefore of play. The origin and fundamentals of play have been described by various psychologists as a discharge of excess vital energy, by others as some imitative instinct, or again as simply a need for relaxation. According to one theory play constitutes a training of the young for the serious business of life later on. Some see it as an innate urge to exercise a certain faculty or in the desire to dominate or compete. Yet others regard it as an outlet for harmful impulses, as the necessary restorer of energy expended by tedious work activity, as a desire for wish-fulfillment, or to enhance a feeling of personal value.

Are the eminent minds overlooking the fun factor? It seems obvious that the fun-element characterizes all forms of play.

Another essential and related quality of play is the intensity

and absorption in play, sometimes to the point of frenzy.

Animals play because their instinct drives them to it. Animals, children and adults play because they enjoy playing. Play is a stepping out of “real” life into a temporary sphere of activity with a disposition all of its own. Every child knows perfectly well that he is “only pretending”, or that it was “only for fun”.

The pretend factor does not by any means prevent it from proceeding with the utmost seriousness, with total absorption, and a devotion that borders on rapture that can temporarily abolish any sense of reality. Any game can at any time wholly run away with the players.

The contrast between play and seriousness is always fluid and there is a hazy border-line between them.

Play can be totally fun and it can at the same time have a serious element like when playing an intense game of chess. Yet it still is classified as a fun activity because it absorbs the player entirely and is, in its own way, a relaxing way to pass the time. Play as a form of relaxation is an integral part of life in general. It is deemed a necessity as an outlet, an escape from the vagaries and drudgeries of life, both for the individual and for society.

Play is distinct from ordinary life both as to locality and duration. It proceeds within its own proper boundaries of time and space according to fixed rules and in an orderly manner.

All play occurs within a play¬ground marked off for it, either physically or extraneous, detached from everyday surroundings. The arena, the card-table, the stage, the tennis court, the beach, and the electronic gadgets are all, in form and function, play-grounds within which special rules prevail.

Inside the circle of the game the laws and customs of ordinary life no longer count.

Another important element of play is tension in the sense of something challenging to achieve, to succeed in a certain goal, to compete, to win and so end the tension. It means a testing of the player’s prowess: his courage, tenacity, physical and mental/spiritual resources. This element of tension and solution governs all games, even solitary games of skill such as puzzles, crafting, patience, target-shooting. It is most fervent in games of competition. In gambling and athletics it is at its height.

Play is prevalent in all cultures, even the most archaic and primitive ones. And it is not limited to children’s games. Play and games have played super important and at times attenuating roles in history, mythology and religion. In medieval times jousting tournaments were hugely popular. In ancient Greece sports games reached a zenith with the Olympic Games. In Aztec times, ballgames were played to the utmost serious level in that the losing team was executed. Many archaic cultures and even the more advanced Greeks played their games to the death. The Roman gladiators fought deadly duels for the sole entertainment of the Roman populace. Less lethal but still seriously adrenal were the Roman chariot races – who remembers the famous race in the film Ben Hur? Playing, gaming, gambling, betting, and yes, cheating, seem to be closely aligned. Play also includes gaming; witness the popularity of casinos and chance games, the betting that goes along with it and that sometimes is considered more of a play than the actual game. Bali’s cock fighting culture is a prime example Yudisthira loses at dice of this; so are the card games, the poker which has dusty origins but was practiced since olden times – the famous dice game of the Mahabharata having disastrous percussions for the Pandawa clan.

Play Bali Style - One of the most obvious forms of adult play is participation in a sports activity and Bali is the perfect playground for lots of outdoor fun. Think of the many beach games like volleyball, rugby and beach cricket that are regularly organized. The tennis tournaments, the surfing competitions, the annual triathlons and other organized events

draw scores of participants, fans and on-lookers. Away from the beach, you can enjoy plenty of other outdoor sports: football, golf, tennis, rafting, canyoning. Indoor sports abound like racquetball, squash, snooker. The only category of sports that is a bit anemic in Bali is the one that requires ice and snow. Though it is perhaps only a matter of time before some enterprising soul comes up with an indoor ski slope or skating rink.

Balinese children play traditional games like deduplak and tajog. Deduplak is a footrace where the players wear coconut shells on their feet tied together with rope. Tajog is a game that requires skilful balancing on a bamboo pole. Many of the traditional games are disappearing due to the attraction of more modern pastimes like hi-tech and online games and many traditional toys and game implements can now only be seen in exhibits at the Bali Museum in Denpasar.

Balinese Hinduism is one of the few religions where ritual and play intermesh to a great degree. In Balinese culture the mystical Barong symbolizes a playful element. Many villages celebrate iconic temple Usaba Sambah Festival in Tenganan festivals at certain times of the year to give thanks for a good harvest with ritualistic play. The Usaba Sambah festival in Tenganan, the ancient village home of the Bali Aga, is famous for the Perang Pandan in which local youth fight each other using sticks of thorny pandanus leaves. Less bloody is the tipat bantal war, a rice throwing game in Kapal, also known as the Aci Rah Pengangon ritual, which is essentially a gigantic food fight. Two opposing groups of villagers throw tipat (cooked rice wrapped in squares of woven coconut leaf) at each other. This fight takes place in the street outside the Pura Desa, the village main temple. The villagers claim that this Rice Throwing in Kapal unique tradition dates from the age of the last Balinese kingdom (around 1328). Tipat wars are common elements of religious festivals in other parts of Indonesia. In Lingsar,Lombok the “war” is fought between Hindus and their Muslim neighbors all in good fun to underscore the brotherhood and unity among residents of different faiths. The Makepung Bull Race near the town of Negara in west Bali is also part of a yearly festival to celebrate the end of a successful rice harvest.

Outside of the religious sphere there are other numerous festivals in Bali that showcase the culture at its most local level and they are all fun. The yearly Bali Arts festival, and the festivals held in Sanur, Nusa Dua, Tabanan and other communities attest to the playful atmosphere and showcase local dance, music, drama, crafts. There are colorful parades, wayang puppet shows and classical music performed by traditional instruments. Asian cultures in particular still observe spring and autumn festivals or the winter solstice in which the play element has priority and in which tournaments of song, dance and games figure prominently.

Due to the influx of expats and the multi-cultural aspect of Balinese society, we are very fortunate to see an incredible amount of play forms on this island. Not just sports, which figure prominently, but also intellectual and artistic play. Song, dance and music provide a singular outlet for the artisticminded. On the intellectual side there are debating groups and quiz groups, poetry contests and theatre groups. And for pure mindless fun there are dress-up parties, masquerade events, carnivals and festivals galore. The more sedate can join groups who indulge in card and board games, scrabble, charades or old fashioned parlor games.

In a follow-up article we will highlight some interesting people with a penchant for fun and extraordinary play. Stay tuned.

Bali Plastic Free by 2015 says Governor The Governor of Bali, Made Mangku Pastika has targeted Bali to be completely free of plastic rubbish by 2015. In a visit to a plastic processing factory, Enviro Pallets in Tabanan on Sunday (23/2), Pastika encouraged the people of Bali to collect and sell their plastic waste to processing factories around the island. The processing plants will purchase plastic rubbish for Rp1,500 per kilogram. “We want people to collect and dispose of plastic waste and then sell it to the waste processing factories, if every family could collect up to 10 kilograms of plastic rubbish, it amounts to Rp 15,000. That’s enough to purchase rice,”” said Pastika. Pastika also expressed his interest in purchasing more machinery to handle the expected rise in rubbish.

Quoting data collected by WWF, Syamsidar said in 2011 the bodies of 10 dead elephants were found in a timber estate in Duri city, Bengkalis and Kuantan Singingi districts. In 2012 there were 15 elephants found dead in plantation belonging to local people and companies operating in the province. In 2013, the bodies of 14 dead elephants were found, 13 in the Tesso Nilo National Park area and one in a timber estate managed by a private company. Recently, it was reported that seven more elephants were found dead in timber estate in Riau province, Syamsidar added. “WWF expects the government will seriously investigate this case and those held responsible for killing the elephants are sent to jail,” he said. A spokesman to Pelalawan district police Adjunct Commissioner Lumban G Toruan said he had deployed police personnel to investigate the finding of seven elephant bones recently in the timber estate belonging to PT Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper (RAPP). A spokesman from PT RAPP stated the company was ready to assist the police in the investigation process. (February 23rd 2014) Indonesia Announces World’s Biggest Manta Ray Sanctuary Indonesia on Friday (21/2) became home to the world’s biggest manta ray sanctuary covering millions of square kilometers, as it seeks to protect the huge winged fish and draw more tourists to the sprawling archipelago. New legislation gives full protection to the creatures across all the waters surrounding Southeast Asia’s biggest country, which for years has been the world’s largest shark and ray fishery. Protection group Conservation International hailed the “bold” move and said it was influenced by a recent government-backed review that showed a single manta ray was worth one million dollars in tourism revenue over its lifetime. This compares to between US$40 and US$500 if caught and killed, the group said. Many foreign tourists come to Indonesia every year to dive in some of the world’s most biodiverse waters and manta rays are a favorite sight.

The gentle beasts have wingspans up to 7.5 meters, which they flap to propel themselves gracefully through the water.

“Indonesia now has the second-largest manta ray tourism industry in the world, with an estimated annual turnover of US$15 million,” said Agus Dermawan, a senior official from the ministry of marine affairs and fisheries. “Given the huge area of reefs and islands in our country, if managed properly, Indonesia could become the top manta tourism destination on the planet.” (February 21st 2014)

Balinese Cruise Ship Worker Arrested for Rape A cruise ship worker has confessed to raping a passenger and trying to throw her overboard on Valentine’s Day, claiming the assault was revenge for an alleged slight. The victim told FBI agents that her attacker appeared with no warning inside her darkened stateroom in the middle of the night, and raped, beat, punched and strangled her before he tried to throw her off a balcony into the ocean off the coast of Honduras. The worker, Ketut Pujayasa, 28, was quickly detained on the MS Nieuw Amsterdam and arrested by the FBI when the ship returned to Florida.

The 31-year-old woman, who is from the US but was identified only by her initials in court records, says she lost consciousness at least once during the assault and firmly believed her attacker was trying to kill her. Pujayasa, who worked for Holland America Line, says he delivered breakfast the woman had ordered to her stateroom. He said he knocked three times before the passenger acknowledged him and he claimed he heard a woman’s voice saying, “Wait a minute, son of a b*tch!’’ (February 19th 2014) Denpasar Police Arrest US Citizen’s Murder Suspect The Denpasar Police have arrested a man who is suspected to be involved in the murder of the 52-year-old American citizen, Paul Robb Latourell, from California according to Chief Senior Commissioner of Denpasar Police Djoko Hariutomo on Monday (24/2). Djoko explained that the arrested perpetrator, with the initials MS, was a man who did not come from Bali. A second man suspected in the murder, a 31-year-old man from Flores was captured on Tuesday (25/2) following a police investigation in Padanggalak. The police suspect that the perpetrators committed the murder due to jealousy. Latourell was suspected to be gay and police believe that a close friend murdered Latourell. Latourell, who is a known crafts entrepreneur and an activist of the HIV/AIDS management campaign, was found dead at his residence in Jalan Banteng, Denpasar, with 65 stab wounds on his body.

(February 24th 2014) Balinese Crew Member Suicides at Sea A Balinese man has committed suicide by jumping overboard the Constellation I cruise ship late last month. Nyoman Gede Bagiada, a native of Serangan village in Mengwi, Badung, was recorded jumping overboard by the ship’s CCTV cameras. “We have been coordinating with the Foreign Ministry in conducting search and rescue efforts but we were unable to find his body,” I Wayan Pageh, chairman of the Denpasar office of migrant workers service and protection agency, said Friday (21/2). Citing a report from the police of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, he said the incident occurred on Jan. 29 at 2 a.m. local time, when the ship was sailing along the Yucatan Strait between Mexico and Cuba, some 300 miles from the US. Bagiada’s body was never recovered. The company is now finalizing the required documents for providing compensation to the family. (February 22nd 2014)

Occasional Articles From Our Readers C/NV/G-30 Oct. 13

Has a LEP (Local Environment Plan) or equal been implemented for Sanur?

Has a DCP (Development Control Plan) or equal been implemented for Sanur?

Has a SEPP (State Environmental Planning Policy) or equal been implemented for Bali?

Does the regulatory authority/local government which I assume, determines development in Sanur have a local town planning strategy, do they employ civic minded town planners with a social conscious, or are the Darth Vader developers from Jakarta the town planners?

Judging by the direction that Sanur is heading there has been little or no control over development in the area. One would think that a valuable lesson would have been learnt in the past with the construction of the infamous and former 523 room Bali Beach Hotel built in the early 1960’s, now called the Inna Grand Bali Beach........ there ain’t nothing grand about it, unless you call camel dung stacked some 10 storeys high grand. You can change the name but you can’t change the visual damage and impact that has been created by this brutal architectural blot on the landscape.

Will it be allowed to happen again, masked by a different facade? or is it happening now? Will the toxic tentacles of Kuta and Legian be allowed to continue to creep north/east to infest Sanur, turning it into a tropical urban ghetto. I think the use of the cliche “money talks” is appropriate, don’t you?

I need not comment further about the appalling state that Kuta and Legian has become, the article “Ugly and Over It” in Hector’s Diary (4 -18 September issue of Bali Advertiser) summed it up well enough. In fact the article gave me the impetus to write this letter. I along with many others (local Balinese, Indonesians, business owners, expatriate residents and tourists) hold grave concerns for the present and future of Sanur. Just have a good long look at two major developments currently under construction, the 4 storey, 103 room Maya Sanur Resort & Spa Project and the 5 storey, 200 suite Watu Jimbar Lagoon Resort Hotel development, the aesthetics, mass and scale of which are totally out of context with the local ambiance and ethos of Sanur. So much for the Balinese law that states the height of buildings should not exceed the mature height of coconut palms, obviously the money spinner developers from Jakarta ignored this rule and didn’t bother consulting the Balinese. Jalan Danau Tamblingan at present is a chaotic out of control race track thoroughfare for suicide motor cyclists and vehicles that hinder and threaten pedestrian movement within the village.

Maybe, I have spent too much time on the “Bag Waggon” and should temper my cynicism toward the money spinner developers of Jakarta. I should express consideration and compassion for the poor and humble developer, after all they have to survive and make an honest living just like all of us and the rest of the Balinese people who want and struggle for a comfortable life and access for their children to have a decent education. If it means filling a development site with as much concrete, glass, bricks and mortar to make mega dollars, then so be it. Just remember they have financial commitments like all of us. They have to subsidise their opulent and lavish lifestyle, luxury properties and lets not forget the high cost of maintaining those luxuary motor vehicles. Come on now give them some credit!!

Progress and change is inevitable, that can’t be denied, however progress and change for the better is most paramount. By no means is Sanur an isolated case, however if future planning is managed in a responsible manner it can set a precedent and used as a planning

tool for other towns and villages threatened by over development throughout Bali. Here are a few ideas worthy of consideration: 1. Ban all future multi level and inappropriate developments ie; hotels, apartments, fun world, dumb world and wally world theme parks, tattoo parlous and shopping malls.

Limit developments to 2 levels, impose height limits and reduce the scale, mass and site coverage of all developments.

2. Dramatically reduce and enforce the speed limit on Jalan Danau Tamblingan. Consider the possibility of making Jalan Danau Tamblingan a one way street, exempt vehicles can travel in both directions.

3. Limit vehicular traffic along Jalan Danau Tamblingan by imposing a toll, resident vehicles, courtesy buses, taxi’s, delivery vehicles and owners of retail shops are exempt provided they have the appropriate permit.

Bicycles are exempt. For those wishing to use Jalan Danau Tamblingan as a thoroughfare and park their vehicles, a parking fee will be incurred.

4. Provide parking areas and shuttle courtesy buses at both ends of Jalan Danau Tamblingan.

5. Upgrade the shopping precinct of Jl. Danau Tamblingan to create a safe pedestrian friendly area by introducing traffic calming devices, landscaping/planting and public seating.

Many cities, towns and villages throughout the world have been faced with and threatened by the senseless over development epidemic due to bad or no planning, Australia certainly is not exempt from falling prey to insensitive greedy developers, Queensland and New South Wales are but a few prime examples: Queensland’s Gold Coast/Surfers Paradise has a wall of high rise apartments lining the beachfront like massive tombstones casting a blanket shadow over the beach in the afternoon.

Queensland’s Hamilton Island - the developer got his strangle hold on this little piece of paradise by building a massive high rise apartment complex on the beachfront.

Sydney - the infamous and now defunct monorail was doomed before it got off the drawing board. This nasty mechanical serpent weaved its way (empty most of the time) some six meters above the ground linking Darling Harbour to the city CBD. Much to strong opposition to its construction from civic minded architects, town planners and concerned citizens, however it went ahead regardless, being a government initiative. The irony is that Thomas National Transport (TNT) the transport mogul that operated the monorail placed granite bases to the columns that support the rail beam with the embossed letters TNT!

Sanur’s Future?

C/NV/I-24 July 13

Sydney’s Cronulla - the once jewel in the crown of the Sutherland Shire and my old stomping ground, developers really had a hey-day as far back as the early 70’s peppering this once serene seaside village with ugly high rise apartments. However the town planners in councils sometimes get it right, Sydney City Council blocked off a major part of Pitt Street to stop vehicular traffic in order to create a plaza, now it is a hive of pedestrian activity and retail businesses thrive and prosper. As with the closure of Pitt Street, Sutherland Council in its wisdom blocked off Cronulla Street creating the same result.

Workable and successful solutions to endemic over development problems have been achieved through foresight and good positive town planning. Lets hope Sanur can be spared from the Grim Reaper’s scythe.

Feedback from Bali Advitiser’s editor and readers would be most welcome.

Jessica Lawson: Yoga for Children

C/NV/R-22 Jan. 2014

a mood elevator. I hear often that if their child is sad or depressed, after doing yoga and achieving a new pose or balancing themselves a little longer their mood frequently lifts, giving them a sense of accomplishment.

What happens in a kid’s yoga class?

Classes are specifically developed and modified appropriate to specific age groups. I use a fun and dynamic series of poses joined together with breath and flowing movement: warm up, action/play, winding down and relaxing. We sing songs like “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” and “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” to bring awareness to breathing and the different parts of the body as we move through traditional yoga poses. We encourage kids to be open and comfortable with themselves and where they are on that day.

What equipment is needed?

Little or no equipment other than yoga mats are needed.

However, depending on the age and the energy level of the group, there are classes in which I will use props such as Tibetan bowls or Nepali bells so the kids can practice sitting in silence as we resonate with different sounds and pitches. I occasionally use flash card games to involve the children, especially when there is a language barrier. Books like Kids Moves or What I See, I Can Be can also be used to engage the children. The wonderful tool of imagination is enough to act out different yoga postures in the book.

Song and dance brings the kids together and allows them to shine. We often move through the sun salutations and turn it into a sun dance to have fun with our bodies and warm up the kids.

Jessica Lawson was born and raised in Buffalo, New York.

After completing a Bachelors of Science degree at SUNY Fredonia in 2004, Jessica began traveling the world. After years on the road and living in London, England and Australia, she returned to the USA in 2010 to reconnect with her roots. In 2010, Jessica was first introduced to children’s yoga at East Meets Yoga in Buffalo. After more than 10 years of practice and teaching yoga classes to kids in California and New York, Goa in India and in Lamu in Kenya, East Africa, Jessica returned to Bali for the fourth time in January 2014 to share her passion for teaching children pro bono at the Bali Silent Retreat in Tabanan.

Is there a difference in the behavior of the children in Bali compared to that of kids in the West?

Both groups are a delight to teach and both respond well to yoga, but I have found that children in Bali are able to hold their concentration for longer periods than kids in the West. Typically in the USA or Europe a class would last 35-45 minutes. In Bali, I have led classes for 60 minutes with the participating kids paying attention and maintaining control. We usually do several activities throughout class, each lasting 5-10 minutes, depending on how the children respond and focus.

What are your professional credentials?

In 2012, I completed the Rainbow Kids Yoga Certification in New York. From there I traveled to India to further my education, completing the 200-hour Yoga Alliance Certification program in 2011 at Ashiyana in Goa. I earned a third certification through It’s Kids Yoga in San Francisco in 2013.

What are the benefits of children’s yoga?

Kids like yoga as it offers something different from their everyday activities. It’s new and exciting. Children’s yoga has many benefits, including an increase in strength, flexibility and concentration in addition to reducing stress and having fun. Yoga helps kids learn about the mind-body connection. It allows kids to use their imaginations and do poses and positions that most of the times are not practiced in other sports and activities. I find that my kids also like the calming yet challenging effect it has on them.

Is the language barrier a problem teaching kids yoga on Bali?

Surprisingly, no. Balinese children have been so receptive and are able to follow instruction. They can easily make their way in and out the poses that I demonstrate, utilizing voice inflection and props like yoga flash cards or song as we move different body parts. I’m amazed at how well behaved they are and how well they follow the flow even when they can’t always understand the words I use.

What’s the hardest pose for kids?

Every child’s body is different. Some poses that may be easy for one are quite difficult for another. Everyday our bodies respond physically in a different way. It depends on our mood, what we are going through or what we are experiencing emotionally.

How much do you charge kids in your class?

How do parents feel about their kids taking yoga?

I have had kids of all ages thank me and tell me yoga has brought them closer to their parents as they are able to practice at home together. Yoga establishes a bond, which helps kids and parents understand each other better. Teens learn how to focus on their breathing when feelings of anxiety arise. It can help relieve panic attacks.

I don’t charge for the classes here in Bali. I just ask that the young girls and boys come with an open heart and willing spirit. Even if they cannot bring that attitude, then that is what we are here to work on!

How may you be contacted?

Email: lovegypsyjess@gmail.com.

Have you ever gotten any feedback from parents?

I have had students with very high energy who have had difficulty concentrating and trouble sleeping. Through practicing yoga parents have told me that their child is able to focus better and on days when they do yoga they have an easier time sleeping. Parents have told me that yoga has helped with their child’s self esteem and often acts as

Letters To Bali Advertiser Motorcycles……again Dear Sir, I was happy to see in print what I and my friends often talk about, the crazy things people do on bikes in Bali.

I admit to having road rage and wish the police here would do something to stop some of the idiotic things we see every day but never a policeman to be seen unless they need to pull over riders not wearing helmets. They have stopped me but I have had all the requirements and have gone on my way. Not so with friends with no documents or helmet. Just give the policeman some money, more for a bule and the money in the pocket and the problem goes away. What a pity we don’t have police like we have at home (Australia).

There would be so many fines, bikes impounded and license revoked they would not know what hit them.

And think of the revenue it generates for the country. It amazes me to see children as young as eight with a pillion passenger of the same age or sometimes just a toddler riding no helmet and unable to reach the road without moving from the seat. And the school kids drag racing each other with pillion passenger, no feet on the rests on the way to school. Don’t the parents care ? Are they so stupid they can’t see they are putting their children at risk of serious injury or death?

It is a pity the article wasn’t available for Balinese people to read. There would be only a few who would read the Advertiser. My friends and I often discuss this problem. To solve it the police need to be vigilant and impose hefty fines which would make people think before they break the law. If fines are not paid, impound their cars or bikes and auction them when fines are not paid on the due date.

I may never go back to horseradish! We slathered the sauce on the succulent pink beauties and moaned. Comfort food!

Wasabi Seafood Sauce Ingredients:

[108]

- 1/2 cup Heinz Tomato Ketchup (other brands are too sweet) - 1 1/2 tsp. wasabi paste (even Tiara Dewata has this) - 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce - 1/2 lime, juiced

Directions for the Sauce: In a small bowl mash the wasabi paste into the lime juice and Worcestershire sauce. Add a bit of the tomato ketchup and stir until smooth. Now stir in the remaining ketchup. Pour into a small serving bowl and set aside.

Directions for the Prawns: Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. While it’s heating add the bay leaf, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, thyme, and salt. Once the water is at a rolling boil, drop in the prawns.

When the first ones rise to the top, now pink in color, turn off the heat. This will take about 3 - 4 minutes. Remove them with a large slotted spoon into a bowl. Be careful not to over cook them.

Lower the bowl of hot prawns into a larger pot filled with cold water to stop the prawns from cooking and to cool them for eating.

You can shell and eat the pink beauties at the table or shell them and arrange around the sauce.

Enjoy!
