This photograph was taken by Wayan Helmy, our Foundation’s graphic designer, and depicts a young boy who, one week earlier, was blind with cataracts in both eyes.

He was operated by our foundation and Helmy took this photo when he came to our clinic for a post-operative check.

You can see how happy he is just to marvel at his own reflection in the car door.

Driving in Bali If you are planning to drive in Bali, whether it is on a motorcycle or in a car, you are in for a unique experience. At first glance, you may think that the traffic on the roads is perfect chaos, but with a little bit of knowledge of how things work here on the roads, you will be safer, and get around better. If you are an experienced driver here then you are already familiar with the characteristics of our traffic and can relate to a lot of these concepts.

harassed all the way up the street for such behaviour.

Apart from that driving is simple, just go with the flow. But there are some common sense rules that we all need to abide by to stay alive and stay out of the hospital.

Number one is drinking and driving. Simply not a good idea.

Here you are unlikely to get pulled over for it, or have roadblocks to discourage it, not right now anyway. But it is dangerous, here you are responsible for yourself and your friends and relatives so don’t drink and drive. Take a cab.

If you choose to get around on a motorcycle there are some reasonable precautions you should take for your safety and that of others.

Cars and bikes wait at busy intersection

First of all you should wear a helmet; it is actually the law unless you are wearing some kind of religious headgear. Helmets do save lives, according to US stats, 59% of the bikers killed in 2008 were not wearing helmets. Sanglah hospital reports that 80% of the accident victims they see suffer from head injuries, of which almost 16% were not wearing helmets. A lot of Balinese don’t wear helmets, and a lot of tourists don’t wear helmets either. For sure it is more fun, cooler and convenient without one, but you have to decide if it is really worth it or not. If you don’t wear a helmet, you can also be stopped for riding without a helmet, which can and does happen

The roads on Bali are congested, to say the least, and things do not appear to be getting any better in the near future. There is hope on the horizon however, if you can call it that, with the potential removal of the fuel subsidy if and when that happens.

This will likely cut down on the amount of cars on the roads, but will probably increase the number of motorcycles. Something else that may ease the traffic, although don’t hold your breath, is the alleged introduction of transit buses. Although these still remain to be seen, the super deluxe bus stands have already been completed and it appears as if the buses will run up and down the Bypass to Nusa Dua, and also up past the University Udayana.

While driving on the roads in Bali, the first thing you will notice is the motorcycle to car ratio is a lot different than most countries.

For example, in the US motorcycles only account for about 3% of the total vehicle registration. It seems like almost the opposite here. And contrary to what some people may think, or say, the Balinese and Indonesians in general, are probably some of the best motorcycle riders in the world. How could you not be, when you are riding on a motorcycle from the very day you are born and most likely driving one as soon as you are big enough to reach the pegs. This level of confidence on a motorcycle can be a good thing, or a bad thing. Without fear, being over confident and full of testosterone can cause people to do some pretty crazy things on a motorcycle. However, it still is the quickest and easiest way for us to get around in Bali but it does require careful and extremely defensive driving. Sanglah hospital reports they get about 150 motorcycle accident victims per day in the emergency area, so be careful, and drive super defensively.

The “rules of the road” are simple: Keep left, every man for himself, and never make any sudden moves. Your best bet is always to just flow with the traffic. If you suddenly see that restaurant that you were looking for out of the corner of your eye, don’t immediately swerve to pull in there. Gradually ease your way over, or better still turn around next chance and come back. Just because you have your left signal on, meaning you want to pull over, doesn’t mean people will not still pass you on the left. Watch out for that one!

The traffic in Bali is well conditioned to move around each other, and make space for the other guy; everything just seems to flow together. For example, if you want to get out into traffic, cross a busy street, or use one of the inconvenient U turns on the bypass there is a certain technique involved. Start inching your way slowly, if you are in a car and there are motorcycles in the same pack, you can trust them to “run interference” for you, as you inch across eventually someone will stop, and likely you and several other drivers will be able to get across, or around. In some countries, not mentioning any names, if you use this technique, or pulled out at the wrong time, it would warrant a huge blaring of the horn and at the very least a middle finger salutation. But not here in Bali, road rage is extremely rare if at all. If you want proof of this, next time the red light turns green, you’ll notice someone always honks. Nothing is really intended, they simply realize that quite often the front car cannot see the traffic signal at all. Everyone just goes, and no one pays any mind to it at all.

I know of situations in other countries where people have been

Making a right hand turn from a left hand lane; or making the right hand U turn from the left hand lane. This is a way to make sure you are on your toes at the intersection. Sometimes, you are just turning right across traffic with the light, and a motorcycle is on your left, trying to make the U turn. Sometime cars and trucks do this as well, just watch for it and slow down to let them go around or drive around them somehow.

Motorcycles without mirrors. A lot of people remove the mirrors from their motorcycle, or they just turn them down. Don’t know why, but if you see someone without mirrors, careful, because they can’t see you.

Here are some good driving habits for any driver in Bali, Indonesian or tourist, no matter who you are, or where you are from: Daytime driving lights are always recommended in cars especially in the countryside on the highways, with the entire two lane passing that goes on. On a motorcycle, you should always use daytime running lights everywhere. May as well strive for as much visibility as possible, and it is being recommended now by the police.

Signal lights can never do you wrong, and it is a good idea to use them as much as possible, whether in a car or motorcycle.

(If on a motorcycle just remember to turn them off, that can be more dangerous). Even though you are driving down the middle of the line, it is still a good habit to get into to use your signal light when you are moving over. It never hurts to give as much warning as possible to traffic, as to what you want to do.

Being a pedestrian in Bali is a different story. It is usually a challenge to cross a main street. Sometimes you see people waiting to cross and wonder how long that is going to take them, with heavy traffic in both directions. Personally, I always try to stop at occupied crosswalks. This is usually received with a look of disbelief, and sometimes requires several signals to the pedestrian that it is OK. Still, it is a good habit, and if we start to do it more, it may catch on. (Just watch out for motorcycles around you).

Cars backed up at Simpang Siur approaching from Sanur Eye protection and lung protection is very important if driving here. There is an exceptional amount of particulate in the air, and bugs at night, that will end up in your eyes. Get some safety glasses if nothing else. A lot of people now are very wisely wearing breathing masks on the motorcycle. The air on and around the roadways is especially bad, it makes sense to protect yourself this way as well.

Talking and texting on a hand phone is illegal in most countries while driving a car. To do it while riding a motorcycle, is just plain dumb. Pull over; if you don’t have time, you may get yourself in an accident and that will really take time, and hassle. You will see some strange behaviour on the road, they are just accepted by those that live here and use the roads a lot, as just part of the traffic.

Driving up the wrong side of the road, on the shoulder, usually you see motorcycles doing this, but some places it is cars too.

You can understand why people would do this in some areas such as the bypass, but it is surely dangerous and it is always an extra challenge to drive with traffic coming at you from both sides, especially at night.

Motorcycles driving at night without headlights. Don’t quite understand this habit, but you will see this all over Indonesia. It is especially dangerous on rainy nights and with all the pot holes in the roads from the rainy season. Tonight I saw a family with a child onboard, no lights. Watch out for people doing this, while travelling up the wrong side of the road.

Cars backed up at Ngurah Rai airport turnoff a famous Bali bottle neck As you can see, to drive safely in Bali is more than just knowing some basic rules; you need to be extremely defensive in your driving habits, and be aware of the unique traits of the traffic here.

Hopefully by identifying some of the unusual things that happen on the roads it will give you a head start in negotiating your way around. Driving here is probably unlike anywhere else in the world. Total chaos, everyone squeezing in everywhere and yet everything just seems to work together and not a signal curse word or middle finger ever offered up. I guess you could say that somehow, it is just typical Bali.

Motorcycles driving at night without taillights. You see this a lot, it is hard to see them when you are coming up from behind, especially in inclement weather. Sometimes you feel like telling them, hey your taillight is burnt out.

Motorcycles driving at night with taillights on, but no red lens in the taillight. You’ll notice this on the roads at night, last night one of these pulled out in front of us, and I though it was a motorcycle coming right at us, almost had a heart attack.

International Bachelor Degrees In Bali An interview with student Ola Thorsen…

Ola is a student from Sweden who is currently studying towards his double degree in International Hotel Management here in Bali. He is due to graduate in August 2013.

Why study International Hotel Management?

As long as I can remember I have loved to travel, to see new places and interact with new and different cultures. A career in the hospitality industry will give me the opportunity to keep doing so, and get paid to do it. Hospitality is one of the fastest growing industries, and pursuing an education and later a career in this sector is likely to give me endless opportunities.

Ola Thorsen, student from Sweden

Why choose Bali?

I love the openness and warmth of Balinese people, it seems they have a natural flair for hospitality. I can´t think of a better place to spend four years while learning about hospitality. I feel secure knowing that my education will be recognised in Europe, as I will receive a European bachelor’s degree, as well as an Indonesian one.

Where are you studying?

I am studying at Stenden University Bali, a partnership between local partner STIE Triatma Mulya and Stenden University of applied sciences in Holland. I think that the studies at Stenden use a unique approach which makes the learning process more interesting and relevant. There is a balance between theoretical and practical studies, we get to use our newly learned management skills at the university’s learning hotel, Puri Saron, in Seminyak. We have guest lecturers with hospitality professionals to discuss and learn from real life industry situations.

We also have the choice to do part of our education in other Stenden campuses around the world such as Qatar, South Africa, Thailand, or Holland. I’m thinking of studying Wildlife & Lodge Management in South Africa next year, or perhaps Events Management in Bangkok.

Stenden University Bali’s next intake is in September 2011. To apply or for more information visit www.stenden.com/bali NC/SE/I-06 April 11

Developing Kids’ Appreciation of Art - It’s all about exposure, the right questioning, open mindedness and enthusiasm By Ima Deville Art is a vast topic, far too vast to cover in its entirety in just one article and therefore, for the sake of specificity, the ideas outlined below will focus on visual art. Surely, lots of other art forms lend themselves beautifully to art appreciation and parents will be able to adapt the main ideas and tips described here to do performing arts for example.

Let’s start with the obvious: art is part of all children’s lives.

All children like engaging in activities such as drawing, colouring, painting, making sculptures, collages, 3D designs, taking photographs, making films and more. Art plays a central role in developing and educating young children and, in most societies, art seems to take a much larger space in the lives of younger kids than when they grow up.

In primary school the curriculum integrates artistic activities to teach areas of perception, language, fine motor skills, social interaction and collaboration. Most children do not question these activities and they simply grow with art around them, as a means of expression and as a way to have fun. As parents, this is the perfect wave to surf if you’d like your kids to appreciate art gradually more and more in their lives.

Parents need to fully tap this enthusiasm and while their kids enjoy doing art, this is the ideal time to develop their appreciation of art. The concept of art appreciation implies thinking about art, thinking in art and sharing ideas that art can generate. Unfortunately kids find talking about art difficult and adults tend to have lost their natural inclination for art.

This is where the gap needs to be bridged if as parents you want to develop your kids’ appreciation for art.

Encourage art as a means of expression and model your appreciation: Parents who echo negative feelings about art or about their experience with art cannot expect their behaviour to be conducive to art appreciation for their children.

Ban comments such as “I can’t draw for the life of me!” or “I was useless at art at school”. Remember that you don’t necessarily have to be good at drawing to be good at art or to be able to appreciate art. When you look at your kids’ art or at any art work, don’t just say “Isn’t that pretty?!” You will need to be more eloquent, pinpoint what exactly you like, what you feel when you look at this piece of art, what you think is clever about it, correlate the techniques used with the effects they give etc.

Get your children to join the conversation, agree or disagree.

It does not have to be a heavy academic conversation about the subject. What is important is to convey feelings, ideas, tastes and share them. Your kids might not have much to say initially and even be puzzled by the exercise and they will start by reflecting on how you behave and what you have to say about art. And whatever they say, don’t contradict children because they need to build their confidence about talking about art. It’s not a true or false exercise.

Expose them to art and prompt their enthusiasm: Art should be part of our lives. It’s unrealistic to expect children to appreciate art if they are not in contact with it. Displaying and framing kids’ works, having artwork around your house, letting kids choose posters, paintings, photos, decorations for their bedrooms but also for the house, these are all good practices conducive to art appreciation. Talk about their choice, show interest but not judgment.

Kids who are surrounded by art and have the facilities, the encouragement, the materials and the time to engage and experience art themselves are more likely to grow into appreciating art. Of course if kids continue to engage in art activities, they will be more likely to appreciate other people’s art, be impressed, enjoy, dislike and have an informed opinion.

When kids start drawing, show them what they can’t see. Point at drawings, nature and show them that anything can be

decomposed into lines and shapes. Little kids will quickly understand that a house is made of squares, triangles and some round shapes. Once they see it, they’ll be able to draw it. It’s about training the eye. Older kids will enjoy collaborative art such as murals and sharing their art in special occasions.

Use the Internet and Google Images to find reproductions, works of a particular artist and other styles. Take nature as the best source of inspiration and ask questions about what colours they see at sunset, how would they be able to represent a perspective, an atmosphere etc.

Have teenagers do scrapbooks, personalized with drawings, photos and reflections about experiences. Carrying a sketchbook around on holidays is an excellent past time, a great memory and something to be proud of and share later.

Show them that anything can be art, engage in recycling art activities that will be unique and fun. Compare art forms from various countries and cultures when traveling. Try and describe, define them to form an opinion.

stories, imaginary scenarios and finally opinions. Key questions: Does anything remind you of something you have seen before? Can you tell a story about what is going on in this picture? Why is this one your favourite? What are the people in the picture saying, thinking, feeling, what is going to happen next, what just happened?

Mature children who are interested in art can understand the correlation between the techniques, the effects, the theme and the message of the artist. What conventions did Picasso want to break when he painted his cubist portraits? Key questions can be: What aspect of that painting conveys fear/ tranquility/ urgency/ love/ happiness…? Why do you think Van Gogh decide to use thick brushstrokes? How does Vermeer achieve such a realistic light?

Taking your kids to art materials shops can often trigger their desires to try new forms of art, join classes and widen their horizons about what can be done in art. ArteMedia is a shop and studio with good quality art supplies. They run art and craft classes and children can learn about ceramics, drawing, various crafts such as beading, nail art, miniature making, scrap booking and more. Older children can do Photoshop editing or Mangga drawing classes. During summer holiday kids can join art camps.

Step into the artist’s shoes: Kids are often bemused by the fact that artists have purposefully chosen to paint the way they did, in other words that they have put thoughts and efforts to achieve their effect and overall result. Children seem to take art for granted or just believe that art works are the way they are because they simply turned out like that. Maybe it is because the younger they are, the more difficult it is to control their own artwork. This in itself can be magical but art appreciation is taking this necessary distance to read into art.

Mature painters use art to express themselves, their moods, ideas, rebellions, heartaches and more. Ask your child why he thinks the artist produced a particular piece of work, in what circumstances, what he wanted to say, what he felt etc.

Studios and art museums have developed art activities for

Their naïve comments can sometimes be explored and

kids and adults. Some of them offer activities for the whole family such as batik, silver jewelry making, drawing, ceramics, photography etc… These are particularly valuable because parents share experiences that lend themselves to talking about the process but also about art appreciation. A list of recommended places is given at the end of this article.

extended by parents with background information, historical facts, episodes of an artist’s personal life. Compare the paintings of an artist during his different periods. Compare art works produced around the same period by different artists.

That will help children understand what was important for a particular artist, what his preoccupations were, how he saw the world, what messages he wanted to convey and finally what is unique about him. That is also art appreciation.

Prompt a narrative: To develop appreciation for various forms of art, we need to help children build a narrative around a work of art. Children should be given lots of opportunities to draw, paint, color in and produce their own art experimenting with various techniques and media. Kids need to build confidence and make their own narratives about what is happening in their piece. Adults should prompt the narration with open ended questions. Avoid closed or limiting questions such as “Is this our car you drew over here?” or “So this car doesn’t have any wheels?” that would no doubt discourage a 5 year-old child who is proud of his imaginary planet for fantastic heroes traveling in amazing flying saucers that break the speed of light.

They can also be encouraged to construct narratives about other artworks they see. Going to a museum or gallery can have long lasting effects. Before you pick a gallery, ask yourself what type of art is likely to interest your kids. There is no point in putting them off at a young age. Think like a child and ask yourself: “If I was 10 years old would I be enthralled by Monet’s paintings of cathedrals or by the cartoon museum next door?”

Look for art that will talk to your kids and try and appreciate it yourself. They can find their favourite artwork and say what they like about it. Often, the main problem for kids who are encouraged to talk about art is that they don’t have the language for it. Parents need to encourage them to look for the elements that compose a work of art. Initial questions can be: What colors can you see? What shapes do you see? What lines? Patterns?

From pure observation, the conversation then takes a personalized angle because, at the end of the day, appreciating art is about feeling it, imagining it, making a construct and reflecting on it. Questions should trigger personal memories,

And remember, you don’t have to like a piece of art to appreciate it. For further information on art activities, check out the following places: Artémedia, Jl. Imam Bonjol #434, Denpasar, Tel: +62 361 783 4489 or +62 485 248 Email: rezadana@indo.net.id.

How to Choose a School?

By Ima Deville

Bali has a wide variety of schools and new ones are being created every year. On the one hand, this is great news because you have a choice. However, parents often find it difficult to know what to look for when they have to choose a school for their children. They tend to listen to word of mouth and frequently opt for the establishment that their friends have chosen for their kids. This is not a bad idea because they will have had the chance to discuss with them the aspects of schools that are important for them, in their culture and for their particular family. In the expatriate world, schools often serve as identity and communities form around schools. In a school’s catchment area, it is not uncommon to find families knowing each other, sharing the same nationality or the same type of profession.

However, parents ought to be more discerning than that. We now believe that schools are not about educating the masses but about educating each individual child. Families need to carefully balance the values of the schools with the values of their culture(s) together with the particular needs of their child.

It is worth the effort penciling down what priorities your family has before starting your homework. To make an informed decision, you will need to research websites, visit establishments, meet with the right people and have constructive discussions within your family. Plot your priorities against the ones of the schools you are considering.

Did I lose anyone by talking about homework for the families?

The word was not used lightly because it is essential to be proactive when it comes to choosing an establishment.

Parents need to clarify what their situation is and how it is likely to evolve. Are you going to stay in Bali for a long time or is it temporary at most? What might be your next move?

Even if you cannot answer these questions, asking them will help identifying what your priorities are in terms of curriculum, examinations and languages amongst others.

Languages taught:

Many parents opt for English-medium schools. If the parents or one of the parents is an English speaker, it is a way to ensure that the children become literate and can pursue academic studies in English anywhere in the world. For nonEnglish speaking parents, this is perceived as the fastest and most efficient way to become bilingual. However, many parents often don’t know that the process of acquisition of another language does take time and they sometimes become impatient. Linguists differentiate between Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS), which students acquire first for day-to-day social interaction and Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP), necessary to follow and engage in the school’s curriculum. The first level of acquisition takes 6 months to two years whereas the cognitively demanding academic proficiency is only fully acquired after 5 to 7 years.

This is why it is necessary to have a long-term vision of where you would like your child to be linguistically and be consistent with the languages you decide to expose your child to if you want to achieve true bilingualism or multilingualism.

Non-English speaking parents should try and continue the maintenance and development of the mother tongue. Not only does it benefit the child because it values his culture and enhances his identity, but it also speeds up the process of learning English or another additional language. When the mother tongue is dropped or only spoken in oral situations at home, the children can suffer from subtractive bilingualism, a phenomenon that will affect negatively their overall schooling.

There are several structures in Bali to develop languages such as Dutch, French, German, Japanese and some schools help parents to offer classes in their language. This is a good question to ask if you are visiting a school.

Parents should have the information at hand to read and compare. Schools websites can alienate someone who is outside that community but it is essential to learn to navigate them. Learn the jargon and get to the essential information.

You will find recurring key words that are good indicators of the type of learning that takes place in that school. Read in between the lines of a school’s mission statement and philosophy and arrive prepared at a school visit. If a piece of information is not on the website, has it just been omitted, is it perceived as instrumental or is it just not offered and never will?

Here are some of the important criteria to take into account when choosing the best school for your children:

Programs offered, curriculum and examinations:

Schools in Bali can teach the Indonesian curriculum, a foreign curriculum such as British, Australian, French etc… or a mix of the two or more. An international curriculum is also offered by schools teaching the International Baccalaureate. A curriculum is not just content, it will often dictate methodologies and a vision of the world. If your family knows where your child will go to school next, this is an important factor.

Most of the time, a curriculum leads to formal examinations that will be taken into account for university entrance or for admission into other schools. These important exams normally take place at 16 and 18 years old. They are not to be mistaken with aptitude or standardized tests. Parents tend to focus primarily on examinations as they see them as the culmination of schooling but it should not be forgotten that there are several ways to achieve the same ends and it can be more important to consider a child’s likes and dislikes, aptitude, styles of learning and ambition. The range of subjects offered and the available options can be decisive if your child has a passion for certain subjects or for example scientifically or artistically inclined.

Bilingual schools, generally in English and Bahasa Indonesia, exist and they tend to cater for children of mixed couples or expatriates who have settled in Indonesia. If your aim is that your children become fully bilingual with the host country language, this is a good option. Parents should also consider the foreign language program of the school. Your child might have a strong desire to learn a particular language and inner motivation is often the main key to success. Parents may have other reasons to choose a particular language of study such as the importance of that language in the home country, their next destination, their social networks etc.

Special support

A percentage of children require special support in school, either temporary because they are adapting to a new system or more permanently because they have been diagnosed with special needs academically, developmentally or behaviorally.

If parents are aware of such needs, it is essential that they discuss them openly with the school. In Bali, not many structures exist for special needs children and schools either cannot support these children or they will find ad hoc solutions.

Commonly used support services within schools range from pairing the new kids in a buddy system, the availability of a school counselor, support classes for language or assistance in mainstream classes. A transparent communication with the school’s Head and teachers is essential. If the school has an assigned special needs teacher or an English as an Additional Language teacher, ask to meet them.

Facilities and Extra Curricular Programs

The range and quality of schools’ facilities tell you a lot about what your child will experience apart from the common classes.

When you organize a visit to the school, check out their library, computer labs, science labs, playground, canteen, fields, pool etc. Parents of young children in particular should look at a school’s facilities from a safety perspective and judge whether organized play will take a large part in a kid’s school day. A diverse extra curricular program is what gives a school a community feeling and an identity. For many kids, an after

school class in a non academic discipline is what will make their day and what they are likely to talk about with you at home. It is also a way to interact with children from other classes and other age groups. Often, if a child’s favorite sport is offered and competitions organized, this is what will sell the school to that child.

Fees

Fees are an obvious factor of choice and, depending on your income, they will range from affordable to prohibitive. However, parents need to ask themselves which school offers the best quality for their money. A child’s education is one of the most important family decisions and although parents cannot spend beyond their means, value is difficult to judge in education: “How much would you pay for a ladder if you are upstairs in a burning building?!”

Location and transport The logistics of transport are an important factor, especially with constantly increasing traffic all over the South of Bali.

Students who need to spend hours in a car or bus everyday are more likely to be penalized when it comes to school activities, events or social occasions organized outside of school. Tiredness accumulates because the child has to get up earlier and come back home later. If the school does not have busses, parents have to provide their own transport.

This adds on costs, implies employing a driver, not having the car available in the early morning or the afternoon and they often opt for buying a second car. Co sharing a car to drive to school is an option but good organization is necessary to avoid stress. Parents cannot always choose where they live but proximity to the school is important.

School vision and mission statement Reading the documentation of schools regarding their philosophy and vision of education is informative and can tell you a lot about their priorities, methodologies and relationships between the community, the teachers and the students.

Nowadays most schools have posted all this information on their website. Read it with special lenses on, try and find out what type of learning is taking place in that school. Is it traditional, content-driven, experiential, hands on, enquiry based or a mixture of some of these approaches? Nowadays several school wide values should be fully integrated in the curriculum and school life and you might want to explore what importance is given to the following: the environment, internationalism, service to the community, languages and understanding of other cultures. This list is not exhaustive by any means.

First impressions from Head of school, teachers and students Finally, discuss in your family what your first impressions are after a school visit. Ask to meet the Head of the school, the teachers and pop into some classes if possible. See students at break time and talk to them. Meet students who have the same nationality as you or come from a similar background.

To give a simplistic but often reliable picture, if students and teachers walk around looking happy and say there is a good balance of work and play, the chances are that this school will be a conducive work environment.

~~~ STEPS TO SUCCESS ~~~ Supporting Your Child’s Education Some ethnic groups favour homework and place emphasis on achievement through extra lessons and the opportunity to study at home. In contrast others prefer to leave the job to the school and place emphasis on quality family time together without the trauma of trying to get their kids to do homework.

I’m sure you can identify where you stand in the great debate.

So, why then do teachers assign homework? There are many reasons including the opportunity to review and practice what has been learned in class, prepare for a lesson or to explore subjects more fully than time permits in the classroom. If you only have 4 slots for history and there is a need for research, it is often not possible to achieve all of this in the given time slots. Above all, homework helps children to develop good habits and attitudes from an early age. Children learn to work independently and homework encourages self-discipline and responsibility. It also enables you to find out more about what your child is studying at school. Homework should be a positive experience.

The role of a parent is the most important one in the education of children and should not be underestimated. Traditionally, parents sent their children off to school and that was that. The school took care of education and there was little or no communications with parents and usually only if there was a problem. However, today quality schools encourage partnerships with parents. But schools can only do so much.

After all, parents are their child’s first educator and there is a lot that you can do to support your child and children are more likely to succeed if you get involved in their education.

To help achieve this positive experience, ensure your child has a study area with light, supplies to hand and fairly quiet.

A prepared study environment does not have to complicated it could be a desk or the corner of a table. Ensure resources are to hand including ample supplies of stationery and plenty of pencils as these can have a nasty habit of disappearing!

Set a good example too. Whatever your views are on homework, your child will have been given a task at hand and

Reading is crucial to succes in a child’s education. It helps develop strong literacy skills in all subjects. You can play a positive and vital role in encouraging your child to read.

Research indicates that reading for forty minutes every day expands a child’s vocabulary in one year to 2,500 new words.

Children who read regularly are more likely to have a higher academic achievement. It is also a wonderful time for those of you with younger children to have quality one on one time together.

Read to your children, listen to them read. As children move on to chapter books, let them read a chapter to you and you read them a chapter. Make it a wonderful, intimate, one on one time at the end of the day, before bed is a great time. Afterall with all of the distractions of the modern, fast paced world we live in, what a wonderful way to wind down and escape into the wonderful worlds that books offer. Encourage children to spend more of their leisure time reading as opposed to television and computer games. Academic achievement also drops for children who watch more than 10 hours of television a week. Be selective of programmes they watch. There are some fantastic documentaries out there on cable tv.

Supporting your child with homework is an important part of a parent’s role. The mention of homework often brings about a multitude of emotions from parents some of who ‘hate’ it to parents who place importance on this and want more. This largely depends on parental attitudes and cultural backgrounds.

Behavioural problems have a huge impact on learning. These get in the way of your child’s attention and interactions with others. Early detection and intervention can prevent problems escalating. Difficulties grasping new concepts, remembering things, completing tasks, following directions or concentrating for extended periods may lead to behavioural problems which affects achievement. It is important that you talk to and listen to your child and communicate with the teacher if you suspect that your child is encountering problems often indicated in a drop in grade.

Children may find themselves in circumstances which effect their learning and achievement. A school bully can make a child’s life miserable. Divorcing parents or a friend moving schools or countries or even the loss of a pet can impact on a child’s achievement at school. Talking to children helps and more importantly taking the time to listen. Children need to develop skills and attitudes to enable them to resolve issues they encounter and learn how to manage their own feelings and responses and understand that it is okay to express feelings and seek help. These are valuable lessons and skills that children will learn and will have for life if they are able to turn issues into positive experiences. Parents play an important role in supporting their children deal with issues as they arise.

Students who are struggling often lose self esteem and confidence the very qualities that underpin learning. Children are often good at hiding their feelings but it is important to talk and communicate with your child’s teacher to find out the cause of the problem. Often this may be a tough subject area.

Maths is a good example. Many students who struggle begin to hate the subject. They may have missed some important foundations which inhibits progress. It may be that they need to practice their times tables in order to solve problems and with a bit of extra practice it will make all the difference. Without self esteem and confidence, students are not fully equipped to reach their full potential.

Consistent support is crucial to sustaining a student’s confidence and sense of achievement. This is often tough after three years in preschool, six years in primary and after nine years of schooling middle school sets in and still schooling continues for another few years. It is around this age though that attention needs to be ever present as students hit the teenage years. Your child may not be as forth coming about what he or she has been doing at school let alone hand you his or her agenda or communication book. It is crucial that you check the agenda as vital information may be missed and make use of this to communicate with teachers. A good teacher will take an interest in what you have to say and take on board comments and concerns. Ask questions and show an interest in what your child is doing at school. Research in America indicates that parent involvement is neglected in promoting social, emotional and academic growth. It is important to express high expectations for children and encourage their efforts to achieve and help promote a life long love of learning.

It is important that you encourage your child, focusing on achievements. Learning should not be about the reward at the end but the value the child places on the process which will ultimately lead to successful experiences. There needs to be positives found out of ‘failure’ and children need support in their attempts to overcome difficulties. Praise and encouragement go along way in supporting your child.

have no nutritional value and students who have no breakfast have to work on an empty stomach for hours. Adopt healthy eating habits and this will continue into adult life. Talk to your child about the nutritional content of food information which is easily accessible on packaged food. Most schools incorporate health education as a curriculum component but you can help your child take responsibility for their own informed choices.

Attitude plays a major part in a child’s behaviour. A child who falls behind may become defensive. Identifying changes allows you to take action to help develop your child’s confidence and ability to progress. A solid partnership with your child’s teacher is important. Your child will see that you are attempting to give support and it needs to be a three way interaction to make changes that will enable your child to succeed in their learning.

children are more likely to do their homework if you take an interest and talk about what your child is doing. Be clear on deadlines too, how often does your child tell you that it is not due until Thursday and suddenly Wednesday evening you’ve been invited for cocktails by the beach. Stress levels leap as you realise after your wonderful evening out, you haven’t had time to monitor homework and the task has not been completed.

Whatever your child’s age, homework is more likely to be successful if ample time is set aside for completion. If assignments are not being completed satisfactorily, you may need to give more supervision and if it has not been completed, inform your child’s teacher. Afterall, time and effort has been given into planning homework and teachers appreciate efforts made to complete this.

Many children at some point in their education will struggle.

Even talented and gifted students can struggle in an area and it can very frustrating if you are not sure why. It is important that you observe and monitor you child for signs of this so that you can tackle this together with the school as soon as it arises.

Common causes include physical, psychological and behavioural difficulties or circumstances which are beyond a child’s control.

Physical aspects are usually the starting point. Take your child for an eye check up if your child is squinting. Health impacts significantly on your child’s performance. Ensure your child gets enough sleep. It is easy to tell which students had a late night with tell tale signs of yawns, the rubbing of eyes and a lack of concentration. Diet is a big one too. A nutrititious breakfast and snack for school help. Sugary and salty snacks

Above all, if children are to succeed they need to be encouraged and inspired and develop a love of learning.

Positive attitudes and interest go a long way. Parents are the ones who can provide the consistent one to one support and individual attention that a child needs to achieve success in his or her learning journey.

Is Handwriting Doomed to Die?

By Ima Deville Do you remember how you were taught to write? Close your eyes, step into the time machine, press the lever down and travel back to when you when 6 or 7 years old.

Can you see the lined paper of your handwriting book?

Some of you would have been using pen and ink, others a pencil or a biro… but surely all of us remembered the colossal effort to keep in between the lines and form those curves and straight lines so that the writing looked like what the teacher had modeled for us. When the teacher took my book, put her glasses on and looked carefully at the exactitude of my strange hieroglyphs, it used to make me nervous.

they have to write neatly in cursive letters and I fully back up the teachers’ efforts by making them practice every night at home. Do I think that handwriting is a crucial survival skill? I have been thinking and I am slowly changing my traditional ingrained beliefs about it. What I don’t want is for my children to feel like I used to when the teacher would lower her glasses to the tip of her nose and ask me to go back and redo it but much better this time, when my friends were already in the playground having a laugh.

When she would take her red pen and wrote “Very Good” in the margin, I used to feel so good and proud of myself.

However, when she crossed out some of my writing and told me to re-write another line of letters and words, I was disappointed. I would turn round discouraged but she would add “… be careful and don’t rush it.” The truth was that at that moment I was convinced that I was not good at writing and that in fact I simply hated it!

reading and writing. It certainly, together with schooling, allowed the masses to access the printed word.

Yes, I have been thinking and I have come to the conclusion that the first function of writing is to communicate, with oneself, with another person, a larger group or a way to reach many unknown people in this world. Time to make a distinction between writing and handwriting. As I told you before, I hardly handwrite more than 20 consecutive words these days, and I’m sure I am not the only one, but I write more than I have ever written!

My laptop has become my best friend, I spend far more time with it than maybe I should, but it allows me to write about everything.

Back in the time machine, back to the present and I am now over 40 years old. You might want to know what my handwriting is like. Well, it is not bad, at least compared to my husband’s for example! Don’t they say that girls write better than boys? I can write when I have to and I can read back my notes, more or less. Maybe I am still rushing it too much. It doesn’t seem to be such a large part of my life these days. I hand write shopping lists, phone numbers and messages, post its abound in my office and brilliant ideas for potential novels that will never see the light of day are on the back of parking tickets when I am stuck in traffic jams.

My technological skills are shamefully not as advanced as I would wish they were but I use my computer daily to write emails, notes, messages, articles, entries for my new guidebook and to brainstorm ideas for this long awaited novel. Around me, I see many geeks with far more advanced gadgets but what we all have in common is that we write. And we don’t just write, we create and communicate. Our handwriting is probably getting worse as a result but does it really matter? The truth is we have never been able to write and share our ideas as much and as easily as now. None of my ancestors wrote

I used to handwrite letters to my Grand Ma every week, scan them and email them to my mum who would print them for her. It was much quicker and far more reliable than posting them and, although she often complained that it wasn’t the same, she would still love receiving handwritten letters from me. I have boxes full of my Grand Ma’s letters that she sent me in all the countries I have lived in and even to a few Poste Restante offices when I traveled round the world for a year. She passed away last year and I know that I will never do that again and that her letters are almost like cherished relics from another era. published articles and I am convinced that my children will find new ways of expressing themselves in writing and share ideas across continents.

Until recently I was an international schoolteacher and, together with many of my colleagues, we would sit and complain about the horrible handwriting of our students.

We would bring evidence of these atrocities to the staffroom and condemn bad handwriting as a sign of future failure in life. My kids now go to a school where

Technology allows us to exchange ideas and thoughts and it is synonymous with freedom of expression.

Graphologists might have to take on another profession but we will benefit from not having to squint over tiny unreadable words and scribbles. I don’t deny that my handwriting is getting worse as a result but does it matter since I have never been able to write and share my writing as much as now?

The evidence of this evolution and the giant steps of technology open a big question for education. Should we continue to teach and learn handwriting in the same way?

Should we continue to judge someone well because they write beautifully formed letters that are neatly organized in easily readable words? Should our unconscious continue to favour the candidate with the best handwriting?

There is no easy answer to this debate. There is a reality and a desire from the older generation and traditionalists to continue to put the same emphasis and weight on a

skill that we see dissolving in practice and in real life.

Some schools offer laptops for their students and apply a paper-free environment policy in the school. Does it mean that their students will not handwrite clearly? In education we never drop a valued skill instantly because we consider them as part of our heritage. Looking at our past, our culture and our history, we understand for example why some school subjects are more important than others. Should it be this way? Things are in constant flux and it is right to always question practices.

Back in the time machine to the present, we witness technological tools allowing anyone to access the knowledge and the new thoughts out there, in our global world. The youngest have adopted these communication tools without blinking an eyelid. The oldest feel the pressure and try to adapt as there is no retracing steps in this process. Are we living through a communication and writing revolution? In many ways, we have said goodbye to diaries, love notes and handwritten manuscripts.

Being able to brainstorm ideas, organize them and render them into a logical argument, however old a student is, is surely more important than handwriting beautifully.

Whether a student uses speech, drawing, acting, symbols, demonstrations, word processed texts or a handwritten page, what we are looking for is a maturity of thought and an ability to communicate ideas clearly.

Following this argument, all forms of expression are equally important and technology is constantly creating new tools for us to use, solve problems and express ourselves more efficiently. And handwriting is then just one of the many valid tools available.

We welcome and regularly use blogs, forums, Facebook, emails and sms as a main tool of communication. Imagine how the scribes and the scholarly monks must have felt when printing saw the light of day and revolutionized

And now, just enough time for a last trip into the time machine. Step in and turn the dial fully to the right, as far as it can go into the future and imagine what you can see.

My short study at Phoenix has given me a strong foundation in the English Language which has helped me during my main course of study accounting in here at TAFE College. The teachers and facilities here are excellent and I have also been given the opportunity to meet people from all over the world which is really good to improve my English.

Studying in Perth, Western Australia has taught me to be independent and confident.

I chose to study in Perth because it is very close to Bali, It’s only 3 ½ hours flight. Perth offers world class education and affordable tuition fees. With the help of the team at education ONE’s head office in Perth, now I have a part-time job which is yet another great way to practice my English. Interestingly, my part time job gives me extra cash to do some nice shopping.

Prostate problems are one of the major concerns amongst aging men in western countries, and it is clear that the incidence of prostate disease and prostate cancer is rapidly escalating. So what can you do to prevent and even reverse prostate disease?

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stimulates proliferation of prostate cells, more so than testosterone does, enlarging the prostate gland and narrowing the urethral channel, leading to urination problems, and speculation that elevated DHT is the cause of prostate cancer. Replacing the lost progesterone back into the body helps restore normal inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase, thus preventing testosterone from changing into DHT, which stimulates proliferation of prostate cells.

It is estimated that benign prostate disease affects over 40 percent of western men by age 50 and over 70 percent by age 60. And the most common symptom is trouble with urination – poor flow, urinary urgency, having to urinate frequently and also waking up several or more times at night to urinate.

Important points to remember regarding both progesterone and testosterone are: • Maintain good levels of both progesterone and testosterone for preventing, and for treating prostate cancer. Reestablish healthy ratios between estradiol, progesterone and testosterone.

• Testosterone levels in men aged 30 to 35 are 200~300 pg/ ml. This level of testosterone does not hurt these 30 to 35 year old men and I believe it will not hurt men who are 65 to 70 years old.

Prostate cancer is the other concern of course. The incidence of prostate cancer increases with age. The majority of men in the US will acquire prostate cancer if they live beyond 65.

Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men in Australia (excluding some forms of skin cancer) with approximately 10,000 new cases diagnosed and approximately 2,500 deaths recorded each year. This is generally however a slow-growing cancer and in men over 65, the doubling time of a prostate cancer nodule is usually about 5 years (compared to the doubling time of a breast cancer nodule of about 3 to 4 months!).

Putting it all together in a quick summary, here are my suggestions for how you can have a healthy prostate for the rest of your life: •

•

•

•

• •

In Australia the current medical opinion is that the PSA test should not be offered for screening purposes. This view is based on: Not everyone with increased levels of PSA has prostate cancer.

Other prostate conditions, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostatitis can cause increased PSA levels.

If you have any questions on the above article feel free to email me at DrTheodoreBali@gmail.com

Increased PSA testing since early the 1990s has led to a rise in the number of cases of prostate cancer detected, there has been no clear evidence that screening for prostate cancer saves lives. In Australia, there has been no change in the mortality rate from prostate cancer even with increased PSA testing. Dr. John Lee in his book “Hormone Balance for Men: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Prostate Health and Natural Hormone Supplementation” states that “good references show that men early in the course of their prostate cancer generally have low testosterone levels and little or no elevation of PSA.” Testosterone and Progesterone: Vital for Men’s Health Both progesterone and testosterone promote the p53 gene that leads to normal healthy cell apoptosis (normal cell death), which helps prevent against prostate cancer. Progesterone in men is vital to good health. It is the major precursor of their adrenal gland hormones (eg. cortisol) and testosterone. Men make progesterone in smaller amounts than women do however these small amounts are very important to a man’s health – especially his prostate health.

Estrogen however promotes the Bcl-2 gene, a known oncogene that inhibits apoptosis and causes cancer. Since progesterone is a potent inhibitor of 5-alpha-reductase, the decline of progesterone in aging males plays a role in increasing the conversation rate of testosterone to DHT.

Check your hormone levels using saliva hormone testing and balance your progesterone, testosterone and estrogen back to healthy levels.

Remove mercury from your system – this highly toxic heavy metal causes havoc on your prostate gland and has been linked to prostate disease – remove amalgam fillings if you have them.

Whole body detoxification – mercury and other toxins will slowly but surely destroy your prostate and your general health. They must be removed by intense detoxing of your colon, lymph, blood, organs and body on a regular basis.

Eat a diet high in raw or lightly cooked vegetables including broccoli, cabbage, kale, spinach, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, cauliflower. Add spices such as garlic, turmeric, ginger as much as possible.

Exercise in short and intense sessions for no more than 30 minutes, 2 -3 times per week.

Focus your mind on a mental image of your body in perfect health and vitality – morning and night. Do this every day with total belief and faith.

In Sweden, doctors rarely screen for prostate cancer or use radical therapies, choosing watchful waiting instead. Despite this, death rates for prostate cancer have declined in Sweden.

For every biopsy procedure performed, only 1 in 3 men with an increased PSA test will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Preventing and Treating Prostate Disease

PSA Test for Detection of Prostate Cancer Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is produced within the prostate gland and within breast tissue. It results from abnormal crowding of normal cells in the prostate gland. This can result from a number of factors, for example too much estrogen which can adversely stimulate the prostate gland cells. Firm massage of normal prostate cells will also increase PSA levels in the prostate. PSA is hence a marker for increased crowding of normal prostate cells. Modern medicine however uses PSA levels as a marker for prostate cancer even though most prostate cancer occurs without elevating the PSA level.

the art of body 5 Simple Rules to Good Nutrition 1. Never Skip Breakfast Don’t be a morning grump. Wake up 30 minutes earlier to make yourself some breakfast! A 2005 study synthesized the results of 47 other studies that examined the impact of starting the day with a healthy breakfast. Here’s what they found: People who skip breakfast are more likely to take up smoking or drinking, less likely to exercise, and more likely to follow fad diets or express concerns about body weight. Common reasons cited for skipping were lack of time, lack of hunger, or dieting.

Skipping breakfast doesn’t necessarily mean eating fewer calories in the day. It doesn’t work that way. People who eat breakfast tend to have higher total calorie intakes throughout the day, but they also get significantly more fiber, calcium, and other micronutrients than skippers do. Breakfast eaters also tend to consume less fast food throughout the day, while packing on more fruits and vegetables.

Breakfast eaters are approximately 30 percent less likely to be overweight or obese. (Think about that - people who eat breakfast eat more food, but weigh less!)

2. Eat Fewer Science Experiments Here’s a rule of healthy eating that will serve you well when picking out foods for your family: The shorter the ingredients list, the healthier the food. One bad example is the Baskin-Robbins “Health” Shake. It has 73 ingredients, a whopping 2,310 calories and more than 3 days’ worth of saturated fat! What happened to the idea that a milk shake is just milk and ice cream? ‘What-you-see-is-what-you-get’ foods are mostly whole foods that don’t need packaging.

3. Snack With Purpose There’s a big difference between mindless munching and strategic snacking. Snacking with purpose means reinforcing good habits, keeping your metabolic rate high, and filling the gaps between meals.

In the 20 years leading up to the 21st century (1977 to 1996) the average salty snack portions increased by 93 calories, and soft drink portions increased by 49 calories. Stay away from those!

Combat portion distortion by eating healthy snacks: apple and peanut butter, homemade popcorn or a handful of cashew nuts.

4. Beware of Portion Distortion Snack portions aren’t the only things that have increased wildly in size. Since 1977 the average hamburgers have increased by 97 calories and French fries by 68 calories, according to the analysis of the Nationwide Food Consumption Survey.

One easy way to short-circuit this growing trend? Buy smaller bowls and cups. A recent study at the Children’s Nutrition Research Center in Houston, Texas, shows that 5 to 6-year-old children will consume a third more calories when presented with a larger portion. The findings are based on a sample of 53 children who were served either 1- or 2-cup portions of macaroni and cheese.

C/He/G-06 April 11

5. Drink Responsibly Too many of us keep in mind the adage “watch what you eat,” and we forget another serious threat to our health: We don’t watch what we drink. In fact, according to research from the University of North Carolina, Americans now slurp up nearly 25 percent of their calories in liquid form - nearly double the rate we used to drink just 20 years ago.

One important strategy is to keep cold, filtered water in a pitcher in the fridge. You might even want to keep some cut-up limes, oranges, or lemons nearby for extra flavoring. Your luck about being in Bali is that there are so many fresh juices available. Take advantage of a sugar-free re-hydrator.

Be extra careful if you purchase packaged juice. Too many “juices” are little more than sugar water. Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry, for instance, has just 15 percent real fruit juice. The other 85 percent ? High-fructose corn syrup and water. Make sure the juice you buy says “100 percent Fruit Juice” on the label, and try to choose one made from a single fruit, not a mix of high-sugar fruits like white grapes.

PARADISE...

IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH

By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

TSUNAMI REVISITED The dreaded tsunami has once again hit the headlines.

The Japan tsunami was so big that it traveled from its origin in North Japan to Hawaii, Russia, and Papua. Tsunamis of this magnitude can cover vast distances at incredible speeds, as fast as 800km/hr (slowing to about 80km/hr when it hits land). Bali being one of the many Islands on the Pacific ring of Fire, leaves us asking the question could it be us next time? And what would be the implications? The answer is of course is that it most certainly could happen here. Ok so “what if”? It raises a lot of interesting speculations, one of them being that if the wave hit the South of Bali you can forget any plans to skip off the Island.

Even a moderate wave would take out the airport first; wise then to make alternative plans like stocking up on fresh water, food and medicines in your store room “just in case”.

When you consider the history of tsunami’s it does seem that they are occurring more frequently around us, four of the five major tsunamis recorded in Indonesia occurring in the past 15 years. Before this, the worst tsunami disaster followed the volcanic eruption of the island of Krakatoa in 1883 when 35 meter waves crashed into Java and Sumatra, drowning 36,420 people! 2,700 died on the Indonesian island of Flores in December 1992. On 3 June, 1994, a tsunami took over 200 lives along the Indian Ocean coastline of Java, and over 100,000 people perished in Aceh in the December 2004 wave.

So how will you know when the “big one” is on its way?

TSUNAMI SURVIVAL (Safety Rules) • If you hear or feel that a strong earthquake has occurred, stand by for a possible tsunami emergency, and be prepared to move from low-lying coastal or lakeside areas to high ground at short notice. All tsunamis are potentially dangerous and destructive.

(It is wise to make a mental note of the closest route to higher ground from the places that you frequent, such as school, office, home or shopping center. Some places are not as high as you think they are, for example the Sanur bypass to Kuta is at sea level and would be certainly knocked out by any tsunami) • Once a tsunami warning as been broadcast you should head for higher ground, naturally every one else will have the same plan and the roads will become jammed very quickl, so travel on foot or by pushbike may be a faster and safer way to travel than by car.

• When an official warning is issued, it means a tsunami actually exists. (By the way don’t wait for an official warning in Bali! The tsunami alarm system is nice in theory but I wouldn’t trust my life to it. Use your common sense and move!) Some tsunami victims have dismissed such warnings as false alarms and died as a result.

• Approaching tsunamis are sometimes preceded by a rapid rise or fall in sea-level. This is nature’s warning and should be heeded. Vessels should head for deep water immediately. Surfers DON’T hang around waiting to ride the “big one”....it will chew you up and spit you out less your limbs and most of your skin.

followed by the force of mega-tons of ocean. The waves’ energy extends from deep ocean floor to surface. A tsunami is a series of traveling waves of extremely long length and period. They are caused by under-sea events like earthquakes, landslides and volcanic eruptions; or by other natural events such as ocean meteorite impacts, or large landslides into bays or lakes. A tsunami is like the effect of a stone landing in a pond. Waves radiate out in ever-widening circles. As a tsunami crosses a deep ocean, length from crest to crest may be 150 km but the height may be under a meter, not felt by ships nor seen from the air, and may reach speeds up to 1,000 km/h. As tsunamis enter shallow water near coastlines, wave speeds drop as energy is compressed into much shorter distances. Wave heights increase dramatically up to 40 meters, threatening life and property, as they strike the shore with devastating force. Between multiple waves, which may vary in size, sea-level may actually drop well below normal. Great destruction may arise even though the tsunami may have been caused by actions thousands of kilometers away.

Here are the major points to consider in Indonesian. Please share it with your Indonesian family, friends and staff.

• Never go to the shore to watch a tsunami. If you can see it, you are too close to escape.

• Cooperate with your local emergency authorities if asked to evacuate.

It helps of course if you can swim, although a tsunami should not be thought of as just a “big wave” because technically it does not have the same formation as a regular ocean wave at all, but a massive wall of water

PERINGATAN DINI TENTANG KESELAMATAN TSUNAMI - Jika ada gempa yang sangat kuat, bersiap untuk adanya bahaya tsunami dan untuk sesegera mungkin berpindah dari daerah pesisir yang rendah atau sekitar sungai ke areal yang lebih tinggi. Semua tsunami perpotensi menjadi sangat bahaya dan menghancurkan - Jika sudah ada pengumuman resmi dan atau sirine tanda bahaya tsunami sudah dibunyikan, berarti tsunami sudah datang. Tidak sedikit korban tsunami yang berjatuhan karena mengira bahwa pengumuman tersebut adalah salah C/He/G-6 April 11

- Datangnya tsunami terkadang dapat di tandai oleh penurunan atau kenaikan tingkat air laut secara drastis/ tiba-tiba. Perahu agar secepatnya menuju perairan yang lebih dalam - Jangan menganggap remeh jika tsunami yang menghantam pesisir pantai tidaklah besar, karena sangat mungkin bahwa tsunami yang lebih besar akan segera menyusul

Personalized Hospitality Amenities a convenient solution for products & packaging

- Dikarenakan tsunami bukan merupakan satu hantaman ombak saja, maka disarankan untuk tetap menjauh dari area yang berpotensi bahaya sampai benar-benar dinyatakan bebas bahaya - Jangan pergi ke pesisir untuk melihat tsunami. Jika Anda bisa melihatnya berarti Anda terlalu dekat untuk bisa menyelamatkan diri - Kerjasama dengan aparat setempat jika diminta untuk segera di evakuasi, dan pikirkan sebelumnya kemana sebaiknya untuk di evakuasi. Perhatikan bahwa banyak daerah di Bali (Sanur, Kuta dan daerah resor tepi pantai, begitu pun dengan Bypass Ngurah Rai dari arah Sanur ke Nusa Dua) yang hampir semuanya selevel dengan permukaan air laut, jadi pertimbangkan untuk menghindari daerah tersebut jika evakuasi sangat diperlukan

• A small tsunami at one point on the shore can be extremely large a few kilometers away so don’t let the modest size of one make you lose respect for all.

• As a tsunami is not a single wave, stay out of danger areas until an official ‘all-clear’.

Land of the Lazy Flat-Bottomed Journalists Anyone who’s ever read this column knows that I’m a big fat whiner. Actually, I’m a very small skinny whiner, but my size does not reflect the magnitude of my whininess. So for argument’s sake, let’s just say I’m a big fat whiner.

Even if I wanted to walk around, I couldn’t – the sidewalks are overrun with warung and the pollution is overbearing.

So I have metamorphosed into a new species – the lazy flat-bottomed journalist.

I constantly complain about Jakarta – the traffic, bad waiters, lack of systems and the fact that everything has too much sugar in it.

And being small and skinny, as I mentioned, means that when I get lazy, I don’t put on weight like most do – my muscle just turns to mush and I get even skinnier and wither away. I look nothing like the big fat whiner that I am inside.

If I were an optimist, I would say the traffic has taught me patience, the lack of systems has taught me to loosen up, the sugar has at least gotten me a little high.

But I am not an optimist, and my whine for this month is unfair, I know, but I’m going to go through with it anyway – Jakarta, you are making me lazy.

I should probably be grateful that I have a maid who washes all my clothes and cleans my house. And having a driver who takes me wherever I want to go whenever is a pretty sweet deal.

But having someone to do all these chores is making me dangerously idle. I no longer have to think about whether I can mix colors with whites. A pile of clothes on the floor that smells like a combination of home-delivered Chinese food and a smoky bar miraculously transforms into a neatly folded pile of perfumed apparel three times a week.

On a recent work trip, I discovered my poor ironing skills had gotten even worse, and that I was incapable of keeping my things in any kind of functional order.

Back home in Sydney, I wasn’t the least bit lazy. Each weekend was filled with the most mundane of domestic chores. I would get around on public transportation and walk kilometers a day, just to get to work, run a few errands and go home.

In Jakarta, I jump in the car, state my destination and slip into a daydream, paying no attention of what route we are taking. It’s like Samantha on “Bewitched”, who wriggles her nose and gets from one place to another (except in Jakarta, of course, such teleporting takes hours).

What all this means is that I am not getting any exercise.

Just think about how much sitting is involved in the Jakarta expat’s lifestyle: After waking up, I eat breakfast, work at my desk, take a trip in the car, do an interview, have lunch, take another car ride home and I’m back again at my desk. Then there’s dinner and a bit of TV or a book – all done sitting.

As my laziness manifested in a record-low weight recently, I decided I would do something about it. The plan was to fatten up and then hit the gym to rediscover what muscle feels like. What that meant initially, though, was gorging myself for a few weeks.

Any doctor will tell you that this is not the way to go about putting on weight, but in Jakarta, it’s just too temping to hit the warung and eat to your heart’s content.

In the name of health I have kept warungs at an arm’s length.

They not only once gave me the worst parasite of my life, the food often has as much nutritional value as the brown paper it is wrapped in, which generally turns clear if you don’t eat the food within five minutes.

So for the past month I have been scoffing down the best nasi Padang in the neighborhood. The ibu up the road makes the most tender beef rendang and fattiest nasi uduk.

On top of that, home delivered dinner is on the agenda a good three times a week, from pizza to Indian curries rich with ghee, and I never say no to dessert. Instead of vodka, I’m drinking longnecks of Bintang, and in the name of protein, a whole goat is likely to have been sacrificed from all the sate kambing I have devoured.

Having put on a couple of pounds, I am probably ready to stop gorging myself and start buffing up, as I had planned.

But truth be told, my laziness has become me, and I can’t quite get off my now rounder behind to get to the gym. Plus I’m quite sure I have developed an addiction to nasi Padang.

Jakarta, I cannot fight you and your crowded sidewalks, your domestic help and your street food. I submit to a life of laziness.

SCHEDULE THAT Easter at Bali Dynasty (24 April) T This is the first of the Easter celebrations that I E have included for this h edition. The Bali Dynasty e has put together a whole h host of activities for the h kkids starting at 9 am with Easter greeting card E making at the Kids Club. m At 10 am off they go to the A garden where they will g jjoin in an Easter egg hunt at the inner garden followed by egg painting at 10.30 am. At 11 am the kids will enjoy Easter bunny animal balloon making followed by an Easter buffet lunch at SEN5ES restaurant.

There is a great line up of activities that will keep the children occupied all morning! The adults have not been forgotten either with a scrumptious Sunday roast lamb lunch buffet at SEN5ES. Very reasonably priced too. I’d say drop the kids off, do a bit of shopping and meet up later for lunch!

When

: 9 am – 12 pm (Kids Easter Bunny Party) 11 am – 2 pm (buffet) Cost : IDR100,000 (Kids Party) IDR160,000 (buffet) Where : Bali Dynasty Resort, Jl Kartika Plaza, Tuban Contact : 752403 ext 2 reservations@balidynasty.com

Easter Entertainment – Westin Resort (24 April) This is yet another choice if you are planning to celebrate Easter. Entertainment is provided by the Batak Stroller singer as you enjoy Sunday brunch at the Ikan restaurant. If you have plans during the day, the Westin also has an Easter buffet dinner with special Easter activities for the children, another great way to spend an evening with the family but have a break from the kids as they are entertained with the usual Easter activities. There’s also 50% discount off the price of food for children aged 4 to 12 with children under 4 free.

Easter Sunday Barbecue and Children’s Easter Party – Conrad (24 April) The Conrad has also made a special effort to offer a celebration in style with a Sunday barbecue at the Eight Degrees South Restaurant. There is indeed a mouthwatering spread with fresh seafood, Rock lobster, oysters, lamb carving, pizzas, gourmet salads and more!

Children under 12 years can enjoy a complimentary kids buffet. The children will be kept entertained with the Easter party at the Kura Kura Club with Easter activities including pat the bunny rabbit, an egg hunt, guess how many, a sack race, bottle fishing, Easter bingo and a special interactive drumming session with Hamanah drum and dance. Snacks are available ble and each child will receive a gift. If you decide to combine the two, there is a 25% discount off the Easter party. This is another perfect way to enjoy lunch while the children are entertained.

Easter Sunday Champagne Brunch – Alila (24 April) I’m going to briefly mention this one as this is total splurge if you go for the champagne option! It’s a beautiful resort set on limestone cliffs with breathtaking views of the ocean and offers a very special Easter treat. Definitely for a special occasion with a bottle of Jacquesson Cuvee N 733 NV French Champagne!

Easter Sunday Brunch – Nammos (24 April) For those of you who are not aware of this, Nammos is the beach restaurant below the Karma Kandara resort and the beach has got to be one of the most beautiful in Bali with stunning views.

The sea is calm and it is a great place for the kids to play and swim safely and above all it is clean. This is a great day to schedule a visit as you can join in the Easter celebrations with Easter egg hunting on the beach, entertainment from magicians and beach games. The brunch menu offers local organic produce, eco friendly seafoods and healthy beverages. This is a fantastic place to hang out with the family for the whole day. If you make it through to the evening or want to come along for sunset there is also the Karma curry evening from 6 pm with a selection of mouth watering curries from all over the world and special cocktails and beer promotions as you settle back to watch the amazing sunset. Even if you don’t manage to go then, it really is worth a trip out to this spectacular part of the island.

By Dawn Chorus

Green Camp (18 – 22 April / 25 – 29 April) I always like to schedule educational events or events that make a difference and this is definitely both. This is an opportunity to go green and Green Camp aims to remove boundaries between people and nature. There are plenty of fun experiences that offer practical and life skills and at the same time build nature awareness and appreciation. The daily line up of activities provide opportunities to get involved in all areas of camp life. Activities include exploration in the jungle, mud play, swimming, yoga, night safari, shadow puppetry, chocolate making, silk worm batik painting and loads more. Children stay in yurts, dwellings traditionally used by Turkic and Mongolian nomads in Central Asia. These are more home like than tents in shape and build with thicker walls which are fully enclosed and lockable with beds for extra comfort.

The mission of the camp is to encourage a sense of ownership, of belonging to and being a part of the natural world that will see children actively take on board new knowledge and move with confidence to help protect and make a positive change to the planet. I think this is what sets Green Camp and Green School apart, their mission which we can all learn from, incorporate into our daily lives and make a big difference to our planet.

Good Charlotte (22 April) In case you don’t know (I didn’t!) Good Charlotte are an American rock band who formed on 1st April 1996 with their first album release in September 2000. They have added an extra date here in Bali (who can blame them?) as part of their Cardiology Australian Tour. It is also great to see talent from different Asian countries come together to perform as the supporting bands too. The entertainment kicks off with Tomo 16 from Thailand, Seribe from India, Urbandub from The Phillipines, Andra and the Backbones from Indonesia and then of course what all the fans will be eagerly awaiting for..... Good Charlotte. There are limited tickets on the door but best to book early to avoid disappointment as this is sure to be a sell out gig. Great to see more bands coming to Bali.

Karma Kandara Anniversary Celebration (22 April) Happy birthday Karma Kandara! This is certainly going to be a celebration in style at this super resort in the most amazing sspot. The evening sets out with a cocktail reception at 6 pm with signature cocktails from the mixologist and Morrocan w sspiced kebabs to nibble on and entertainment from live belly dancers and special DJs. The party then moves down to d Nammos beach club for a Balinese inspired celebration with tthe tunes of jegog and local Balinese dance sessions while yyou enjoy platters of Indonesian food. At 9 pm the party will move into full swing with international DJs playing sounds from m tthe past and present with beach shows including stilt walkers and fire dancers. What an amazing evening this sounds like a and it is only their third anniversary. Imagine what it will be like a at their five and even tenth anniversary parties! I reckon this a is definitely a party to attend at this superb resort.

TOKO BUKU Reviews of English language books on Indonesia

How to Start a Business in Bali by Michael Henry

The proprietor of Indo Advisors, a business consultancy firm, whose name is not given, sounds like a crusty old school expat who has weathered many a rocky bureaucratic roadblock, financial crisis, legal impediment in the 24 years he has spent all over Indonesia. Stuart MacDonald of Travelfish.org, the publisher of interactive digital travel guides, has been living in S.E. Asia for 14 years.

He borrowed “a little bit of money” from his parents to get his website up and running.

Richard is the owner of the Rambutan Hotel in Lovina, founded in 1989. His Balinese wife’s family did all the building and still provides service staff and expertise. This interview and the next are indispensable reading for anyone contemplating opening a hotel in Bali. Finally, an interview with the proprietor of the Baam Rim Nam Guesthouse in Thailand was included because his website (jamkohchang. com) is a fantastic example, the author claims, of how a blog can be used to promote a guest house or hotel on Bali.

None of these omissions seriously detract from the book’s overall usefulness, but I think that the “Resources” section in the back would’ve been exponentially more helpful had it listed not only all the websites of the interviewees but also contact information by category of all the websites, companies, business associations and sources for books mentioned in the text.

The author will email you the book as an attachment after you pony up the $15 bucks. The price is steep as there were no manufacturing costs, but you might as well get used to paying just as much for an ebook as a real book. It’s still worth the price.

I begrudgingly admit that a digital book doesn’t kill trees, is highly portable, websites are hyperlinked for immediate access, and any topic is searchable. In spite of all these benefits, I made a bound copy from the pdf file in the local copy shop because I’m not a Kindle person.

The interviews are unedited and rife with typos, repetitive and run-on sentences, missing words and errors in punctuation that often affect clarity. It is as if the interviews were transcribed verbatim from a recording, keeping intact all the stops and starts of ordinary speech. After running a spell check and smoothing out the text with tighter editing, the interviews could have been sent again to the interviewees for a final check before publication.

Big Tree, owned by an American couple, has gone from eking out a living running a small vegetable garden to becoming one of the major producers of organic food in Indonesia. Ben and Blair got their seed money from outside investors who believed strongly in what they were doing.

They speak the optimistic idiom of the 30-something generation. Vaughn Hatch, who operates Indokiwi, a copy writing, translation and interpreting service, first came to Indonesia in 1997 on a Rp170,000 per month Indonesian government scholarship to study gamelan.

No mention is made of the ITAS visas for foreigners with Indonesian spouses, the Jakarta Globe as an excellent medium to reach expats, SKAL and the Bali Hotels Association as travel industry networking groups, various Indonesia-based chambers of commerce, and other expat forums (www.expat.id, baliblog.com, baliforum.com, asiaexpat.com, etc.) except his own.

The five interviewees are of different ages, backgrounds, speak from entirely different realms of experience, possess different skill sets, levels of idealism and skepticism. In several you can detect a caution so extreme that it borders on cynicism. Some are more environmentally aware than others. Each used different sources of financing to get their businesses going. Though the writer strongly recommends creating a business plan, none of his interviewees did.

Throughout the text the writer posts charts, statistical tables and cites a wealth of internet resources, business groups and associations, print media and business books.

Unavoidably, some of his statistics are no longer valid or have been drastically impacted by recent events, i.e. the dramatic fall in Japanese visitors since the March 2011 tsunami.

Jl. Intan Permai

To be honest, I was put off immediately when this peripatetic author, who calls himself a “digital nomad,” stated in the introduction that he has spent a total of one year in Indonesia. He went on to argue that he has compensated for his lack of experience with interviews of expats who have been living and doing businesses in Indonesia for a combined total of 80 years.

The author has been building websites since 2005, and his guide is especially strong on how to use the internet and blogging as powerful and effective marketing tools. He is at his best when he explains how to achieve higher rankings, market through social media, get more hits to your website, use analytic features to see how people are reaching your site, as well as simple and clear descriptions of the capabilities of Twitter, WordPress, etc.

Throughout the book the author dispenses insider tips on how to find niche markets like a women’s yoga or surf retreat and even urge his readers to consider boring yet lucrative business ideas like doing overseas tax returns for expats.

A number of his recommendations are obvious but worth repeating: talk to other expats, don’t become too emotional in your business decisions, make your brochure stand out, live in the area where you plan to start your business for several months, and so forth.

Jl. Raya Kerobokan

Don’t even think about starting a business in Bali without reading this ebook which gives invaluable advice on just about every facet of a business start up from company types, registering your business and types of visas for foreigners to licenses, tax issues, targeting your market, press releases and staffing issues.

Season of the Witch Two Medieval Knights, who have deserted the Crusades in the Holy Land, find themselves coerced into delivering a young woman to a distant European city, where she is to stand trial on charges of witchcraft. Naturally, their journey is to be hard and hazardous, but, when they finally reach the remote city, things are to heat up even more considerably. Director Dominic Sena makes a surprisingly good mysterious thriller, which manages to keep interest and suspense throughout its running time. The movie also features spectacular scenery, and excellent costumes, sets, and special effects. Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman play the disillusioned Knights rather well.

Stranded Written and directed by Sandra and Hugues Martin, this is an unusual and powerful French movie, set in Algeria in 1960. A troop of soldiers must trudge through the desert, seeking the survivors of a plane crash, and an attaché case one of them was carrying, which contains Top Secret papers. By day, they must fend off attacks from Algerian rebel snipers, and, by night, some extremely peculiar things start happening around their camp sites. The movie is made in an especially interesting way, which imitates the French ‘New Wave’ cinema style of the 1960s. Also, the movie makes some subtle, but pertinent, political points, as the suspense and tension mounts up.

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada When his Mexican best friend is killed by a Border Patrol Policeman, rancher, Tommy Lee Jones, who has a spread close to the Texas-Mexico border, kidnaps the policeman, and, with the exhumed body of his friend, makes the cop travel on horseback across the rugged Mexican terrain, to give his friend a decent burial in his tiny Mexican hamlet.

Along the way, Tommy Lee does a pretty good job of psychologically torturing the Border Patrolman. Tommy Lee also directs the movie, in a slow manner, which allows for plenty of time to take in the plot, acting performances, and amazing landscape. Barry Pepper co-stars in this good modern-day western.

Made in Dagenham Set in the ‘Swinging Sixties’ of a revived post-war England, this movie, based on true events, follows the story of a group of female machinists, working in a car manufacturing plant, who go on strike seeking Equal Pay. Their actions are to have serious repercussions in the highest political places.

Okay, similarities can be found with Sally Field’s vibrant American movie ‘Norma Rae’ (1979), but, director Nigel Cole fills his English movie with a rambunctious working-class humor, which is undeniably British. Sally Hawkins, Bob Hoskins, and Miranda Richardson, star in this ‘slice-of-life’.

Sharktopus American producer Roger Corman started making his record number of Z Grade exploitation movies (over one hundred of them) back in the 1950s. Among those who began their careers working for him are Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Peter Bogdanovich, Jack Nicholson, Jonathan Demme, Joe Dante, Ron Howard, and James Cameron. All of Corman’s productions have featured big-breasted women and much bloody mayhem. His latest flick, ‘Sharktopus’, is no exception. A biological research company makes a marine mutant as a secret weapon for the American Navy; it escapes, and goes on a feeding frenzy in a beach resort. What can I say? The movie is so bad that it is brilliant. Half-Shark, Half-Octopus, All Killer!

Yogi Bear Children are going to get a big kick out of this movie, even if they are not familiar with the famous television cartoon series. Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo are still coming up with schemes to steal ‘pic-a-nic’ baskets from the tourists in Jellystone Park, but, when some corrupt politicians want to

close the park, and sell off all of its lumber, it’s up to Yogi and Boo-Boo to save the day. Yes, the plot is kinda lame, and the human characters cardboard cutout, but, the animal robotics and clever computer animation are just charming.

Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake provide the voices for Yogi and Boo-Boo. I always love it when Yogi says: “Smarter than the average bear, Boo-Boo”.

Paul Simon Pegg and Nick Frost star in this movie as two British comic-book geeks, who are travelling across the USA, and visiting Sci-Fi conferences and famous UFO sites during their trip. Outside Area 51 they encounter an alien, called Paul, who has escaped from the secret facility, and they agree to transport him to his rendezvous with a rescuing spaceship. Basically, all the movie does is to send-up Steven Spielberg’s classic films ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ (1977) and ‘E.T. – The Extraterrestrial’ (1982).

After a while the joke becomes a little bit boring, and the movie droops into tedium.

Country Strong Whether it is taking place on stage on Broadway, or, in the movies in Hollywood, or, in the case of this musical, the concert halls of the Deep South, there has always been plenty of stories about young artists clawing their way to the top of show business. This movie, ‘Country Strong’, is another one of those stories, and is really of no great interest. What is of interest is Gwyneth Paltrow, who appears as a Country and Western Diva, with alcoholic problems.

When not hitting the bottle, Gwyneth sings a couple of songs quite nicely, but, as the movie progresses, Gwyneth is to find that with her drink problems, mental health issues, and bad marriage, the pressures of show business are just too much for her. Poor Gwyneth!

Nora Gasparini: Artisan Perfumer

Nora Gasparini was born in Martinique, a French island i n t h e Caribbean.

She lived there until she was 17 years old when she moved to Paris, the beginning of many years of traveling.

Nora’s first job w a s i n Montreal at the CVMQ, the agency that regulates the financial markets of Canada. Realizing this type of work wasn’t for her, she followed her instincts and worked successively in sushi restaurants, natural hair cosmetics workshop and finally in perfumery. Nora opened “L’Atelier Parfums et creations” in Sanur and still continues to work with the growing community of independent perfumers in the USA and Europe.

What are your interests?

Wine tasting, reading, environmental issues, design, movies.

When you were a little girl did you like flowers?

Like every little girl I loved the smell of flowers but also unusual smells like moss and the dusty smell of airconditioning, which I am still crazy about!

Who has strongly influenced you?

My father. He taught me how to be confident and fearless.

He is a free spirit who doesn’t care what people think. His influence was for me the beginning of freedom.

How did you wind up in Bali?

My husband has been in love with Bali since his first visit in 1996 which was even before we met. He is the one who introduced me to Bali in 2006 and he even proposed marriage to me here! This happened one year after we brought 40 couples from the other side of the world to get married here. The professionalism and kindness of people who took care of us impressed us. The Balinese still impress me to this day.

What gave you the idea of becoming a perfume maker?

In New York, I was lucky enough to visit the laboratories of the IFF (International Flavors and Fragrances) who is the world leader in the creation of perfumes. The fragrances and professionals I encountered there had a huge impact on me and triggered a major turning point in my life.

Why did you open your perfumery studio on Bali?

My obsession is with perfumery and Indonesia itself. Sanur is a perfect place to learn perfumery because it is a quieter locale half-way between Kuta/Seminyak and Ubud. My studio is located in the beautiful garden of the Hotel Puri Tempo Doeloe, a little Indonesian haven on Jl. Bypass.

There is nowhere else like Bali for an inspiring experience.

Is Indonesia a player in the perfume industry?

Indonesia ranks consistently among the top six biggest producers of many important raw materials used in the perfume business, including but not limited to patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood and cloves.

What was the first perfume you ever created?

An unusual perfume with jasmine absolute and vetiver for women.

How do you find inspiration to make a new perfume?

Anywhere and at any time - even when I dream.

What do students learn when they join your perfume making class?

That the quality of the raw materials (natural or synthetic) is the key to making an exclusive perfume. I hope also that my students will begin to understand why perfumery is so mysterious and complex.

Do you conduct your class alone?

I work with my assistant, Suarti. She is a very fast learner.

Do men join your workshop?

I am amazed how many men are now interested in perfumes. The ratio is almost 50-50.

Is it difficult to make an individualized perfume formula?

No, because I spent a year designing an easy method by which my students can make their own formula.

How long is the workshop and how much does it cost?

The initial workshop is 3 hours and costs just Rp1,125,000.

After that initial session, students may come back and make as many formulas as they like in the 90 minute workshops (Rp725,000). These prices include your own 30 ml alcoholbased perfume and samples. We keep all your formulas in our database for future reorders.

Would I be able to make a tailor-made fragrance that reflects my personality?

Yes, you will be able to make your very own scent and discover a bit more about yourself.

If I took your workshop, would I then be able to make my own perfume brand?

If you want to create your own limited perfume series line we have a specific process, which is much longer of course.

What are you plans for the future?

I hope to launch a “L’Atelier Parfums et creations” perfume collection by the end of this year. It is almost ready but I am a perfectionist!

Update Tirta Ayu is at the Watergardens at Tirta Gangga, in Bali’s north-east. It is an idyllic location and one of those perfect luncheon stops. As you sit in the restaurant you overlook the royal water gardens and Nusa Penida beyond. The restaurant has an interesting menu mix of local East Bali favourites, Indonesian and International dishes. However I have always stuck to the excellent local dishes. The Balinese Megibung is a favourite here, and at only Rp.160,000++ for two persons is both great value and an excellent introduction to Balinese cuisine. It is quite ironic that the concept of Megibung [sharing many dishes together] was first so named by the then King of Karang Asem, I Gusti Anglurah Ktut Karangasem, in the 17th century, you can now enjoy it here at Tirta Ayu, for centuries the watergarden retreat for the Kings of Karang Asem.

From the a la carte menu I like their Chicken Safriani Jingga, tender chicken in a coconut milk curry sauce, Udang Base Pelaleh, prawns is a spicy sauce, and Grilled Chicken Bali style, Be Siap Panggang Base Kalas, very spicy! To finish, particularly after eating food with so much chilli and spices, there is no better way than to select another Balinese special, Jaja Dadar, soft sweet rice flour crepes stuffed with grated coconut that has been cooked with coconut sugar [pictured]. Eat one and you will want another one!

Ombak Café is found seaside at the very end of the road Jln. Pererenan that leads to the beach of the same name [just east of Echo Beach], Canggu. It looks more like a house when you drive into their private entrance. Walk up the stairs and you are on a pleasant terrace overlooking the broiling surf as it pounds against the reef and sand below. Ombak is open from 7.00 every morning for breakfast [an enormous range of options all at crazy low prices]. The All Day snack and light meal menu is both International [pastas, generous sandwiches, an interesting Prawn Salad and that essential Fish & Chips] and local [Sup Buntut, Spring Rolls and Wontons]. Mains are mostly local Balinese and Indonesian dishes, many of which have a surprising other-Asian or even International twist to them [for example the Nasi Goreng is wrapped in an omelette, Thai style, or ‘in a blanket’ as they say!]. The food is all from that rare breed, a Balinese Chef with a published cook book! All the staff are from the local village so English is at a premium but there is an abundance of smiles, charm and friendliness that more than compensates! Ombak Café is perfect for when you want to just switch off, and relax.

Bebek Bengil will be joining with a small select group of restaurants and opening a beachfront restaurant complex at central Nusa Dua, next to the Grand Hyatt. Planning is well advanced and the actual building is almost due to begin. No doubt the constant queues of customers for that Crispy Duck at Ubud will not be any less, instead a whole new market for this unique Ubud dish will be created. More queues I guess?

Imperial Xi-Fu does Dim Sum! It is available every day for lunch and all day on weekends.

This is the new Chinese restaurant off the foyer of The Fave Hotel on Teuku Umar in Denpasar, and part of the very successful Imperial Indonesian chain of Chinese restaurants. Most Dim Sum, around the world, is that of Hong Kong, Cantonese style. That also applies to the Imperial but they also offer Beijing style as well. Sio Mai and many other steamed buns including salted egg, teratai bean, taro, pandanus and the classic BBQ pork bun, Cha Siew. A Dim Sum feast means consuming dumplings with many different fillings, some dumplings are deep-fried but mostly they are steamed and arriving on your table in bamboo steaming baskets. Stuffed with juicy prawns, red pork or a variety of vegetable combinations, all are dipped in a little soy or chilli paste, before being maneuvered to mouth via chopsticks [if you find them difficult to use then just stab the dumpling with one stick, no one will notice!].

Sate Bali

has long been the home of traditional Balinese cuisine, dishes that are amazingly difficult to find outside of small local village warungs and Balinese homes. Their original restaurant is at the end of Jln. Laksmana in Kerobokan, opposite The Samaya, but they are now also in a central waterfront position amongst a cluster of small restaurants at Echo Beach, Canggu, where unlike at the Kerobokan location they seem to be always busy. Perfect Tum Bebek, moist not dry, Ayam Pelaleh, shredded chicken tossed with chilli and lemon, Pork Belly with crisp skin cooked in kecap manis and Be Siap Base Mekalas, braised chicken in coconut milk and coriander. And, of course, the full range of Balinese Sates.

Ryoshi has had an Ubud outlet on Jln. Raya Ubud, overlooking the natural forested gorge, a small but always popular location, for many years. Now it is no more, as Ryoshi Ubud has moved to temporary premises in Jln. Hanoman in Padang Tegal, 50 metres east of the iconic Bebek Bengil. In between the two are the demolished ruins of what was once Mai-Mai which will eventually be the site of the all-new Ryoshi when building is complete. The temporary site will still be offering the complete new Ryoshi menu which has more Vegetarian dishes than any pure vegetarian restaurant, important for the Ubud crowd! Ryoshi has something for any time of the day, Appetizers, Soups, Salads, Rice Dishes and Japanese cuisine styles; Yakimono [meats and seafood cooked on the hot plate, including many Wagyu Beef options], Agemono [coated in breadcrumbs or rice flour batter then deep-fried] and Kushiyaki [skewered meats, seafood and vegetables, grilled over fire]. Think Japanese and you think Sashimi and Sushi, and their most important ingredient must be cut from the freshest fish, never a problem at a Ryoshi with their constant all-day sales of same.

La Sala da Pranzo

is an Italian dining room and that is what has replaced what used to be Kedai [closed many years ago] in Candi Dasa. At the southern entrance to Candi Dasa, with views across to Nusa Lembongan, the old building has been completely re-built but in the same style, this time with additions for the future [bread & pastry shop, space for cooking classes, delicatessen and many other surprises yet to be announced]. The cuisine is Mediterranean, but unlike many that have taken that name in vain [a Greek Salad, Merguez sausage, Bouillabaisse and some Pasta and Pizza dishes do not a Mediterranean restaurant make!]. At Candi Dasa’s Dining Room the enormous menu lists favourite dishes from just about every country that lines the Mediterranean Sea, north, south and east, truly representative and deserving to describe itself by that name.

Restaurant Review

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

A Lady in the Kitchen!

What is so unusual about that? Almost every home has one!

Yet they are still, today, rare to find in leading restaurants and top level hotels in Bali.

Ubud Hanging Gardens has always previously had an Executive Chef from France and, of course, a man filling that role. Now they have broken completely with tradition, theirs and that of Bali and Indonesia in general, by presenting Bansani Nawisamphan [Bann], not only a lady but a Thai national as well. The reaction by the guests at Ubud Hanging Gardens has been of enthusiastic acceptance, the range of Asian dishes adds a further dimension whilst traditional European fare is still well represented.

We begin with the traditional, although with modern touches and sometimes with a little dab of Asia thrown in. The Amuse Bouche was indeed very amusing, a long crisp paper-thin cone stuffed with tuna tartar and topped with salmon roe.

Pan Seared Foie Gras heads this menu as it does on many others in Bali, but at Beduur it is with a herb salad that includes the international green apple and the very local salak fruit, a palm sugar reduction, tamarillo confit and a touch of balsamico.

A Salad of Grilled River Prawns is served with avocado, papaya, mango and watermelon and a passion fruit tapioca.

The Tartar of Tasmanian Salmon is with mango flavoured with Madras curry, poppy seeds and lemon cream served with salmon caviar and lemongrass prawns. A Carpaccio of smoked duck breast has goat cheese, Nashi pear and crushed pistachio nuts.

The Wagyu Beef Cheeks have been marinated and cooked in black beer, a 12 hour process to produce the final tender chunks of meat that are served with long macaroni in truffle butter with asparagus, king oyster mushrooms and Asian pear. An amazing dish, in fact this may be the ‘dish of the year’! Rarely have I eaten meat so tender, yet with so much flavour, after the first small slice it became addictive!

An Australian Rack of Lamb is given new flavours being marinated in Asian spices, and crushed Szechuan peppers then served with a maki roll made from the lamb neck, an anchovy samosa with a tomato-ginger fondue. Butterfish is steamed after being marinated and wrapped in banana leaf.

Whole Red Snapper is marinated with Balinese spices, the grilled and served with a green papaya salad and Chinese style fried rice with prawns and pork pieces.

With such an Executive Chef there just had to be a Thai section in this menu but it is well hidden under the simple

title of ‘Asian’. Chicken Pandan is that wonderful Gai Hor Bai Toey, chicken breast pieces wrapped in pandanus leaf, marinated and steamed then deep fried just before serving to brown and heat the already cooked meat. The accompanying dipping sauce is that sticky, gooey, black mass of reduced tamarind and sesame oil. Absolutely perfect!

Their Phad Thai Goong is the Thai standard stir-fried noodle dish with prawns added, an everyday dish in Thailand.

Restaurant Address

The Grilled Tiger Prawns have a Thai touch with a pesto sauce of Thai sweet basil. The Yam Pad Kood uses Balinese fiddlehead fern with sweet soy, amazingly refreshing, with grilled tiger king prawn, coriander and chilli jam.

Reservation Smoking Area

A stronger Asian touch begins with a Tempura of Soft Shell Crab, red onion, chilli, coriander and crushed cashews with a tamarind, palm sugar and sweet and sour aioli added. A Maki Roll of rock lobster and shimenji mushrooms, a kitchen marinated Salmon Salad is with lettuce, avocado, papaya and mango, soya bean, Wakame seaweed and radish then drizzled with a honey and ginger dressing.

Every day there is a small list of specials, the Chef’s Inspiration. A regular feature is the Pork Duo, Crisp Pork Belly in Babi Guling spices and Glazed Baby Back Ribs that really do have that Asian touch, marinated in a sauce with a punch! Well spiced!

Lumpia is a spring roll stuffed with seafood and vegetables with a pineapple sambal. Sambal Udang is grilled tiger king prawns, lemongrass sticks and sambal Pak Ku. Dessert goes back to basics. No old traditionalist will be able to resist the Crepes Suzette, flamed with Grand Marnier and served with vanilla ice cream. The Trio is a wow of a dessert!

Three separate parts; A Salad of Berries with basil jelly and crème fraiche with lime sorbet, Warm Valrhona Chocolate Fondant with vanilla ice cream and Lemon Verbena Cream Brulee with pineapple vanilla chutney.

The evening setting at Beduur, looking out over the misty valley, with the floodlit temple on the opposing bank, is both spectacular and amazingly relaxing. The constant flow of quality food does nothing to spoil the moment. A very special place!

Is Your Laptop Overheating?

Is your laptop getting TOO hot?

We all know that laptop computers get hot. All those electronic components crammed solidly into a small space generate lots of excess heat. The heat can shorten the life of the electronics, and it can be uncomfortable for the user balancing a laptop on his or her lap. So what can you do to cool your laptop? Read on...

Laptop Cooling Fans Aside from the fact that heat can damage electronics, there are nightmares of people suffering burns from overheated laptops, and also credible reports of laptops exploding into flames. So consider each of these tips to keep the temperature of your laptop to a practical minimum.

Keeping the laptop’s built-in cooling fan running longer is one option. Laptop fans are controlled by software which switches a fan on when temperatures measured at critical points on the motherboard get too high, and switches the fan off when temperatures fall into an “acceptable” range. The problem is, what’s acceptable for a CPU chip may be too hot for your lap.

Check your laptop’s documentation and the maker’s website. Your laptop may come with software that lets you set the fan to “always on”, or you may be able to find a third-party program to control your laptop model’s fan. SpeedFan (http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php) and Notebook Hardware Control (http://www.pbus-167.com/) are two free programs that work with hundreds of computer models. Both of them will monitor your internal temps and display the info on the taskbar.

So how hot is too hot? Documentation on the acceptable temperature range is sometimes hard to come by, but if it’s burning your legs, or the bottom of the unit is too hot to touch, that’s too hot. If your laptop continues to run hot after adjusting the fans, you may have a defect that should be addressed by the vendor or a repair shop. If you have any doubts, do some Googling and see if others with the same model are having the same problem.

C/CI/G-8 Sept. 10

An external fan can supplement the built-in cooling fan of your laptop, and keep cooling when the laptop’s fan shuts off.

These fans are about two inches square and latch onto the air vent from which hot air blows from your laptop. They’re powered by USB ports or, in some cases, batteries. The downside of external fans is that a laptop often won’t fit into its bag with an external fan attached; the fan must be attached and detached often.

Laptop Cooling Pads Laptop cooling pads are basically slabs of metal or plastic that sit between your lap and your laptop, protecting you from heat. Well-designed laptop cooling pads absorb and dissipate heat from the laptop’s case. There are several factors to consider when purchasing a laptop cooling pad.

First, metal beats plastic when it comes to sucking heat out of a laptop. Aluminum cooling pads can be as effective as the aluminum heat sink that sits atop the CPU chip inside your desktop computer. Plastic is generally an insulator and does not do a good job of draining heat away from the laptop. Metal is generally more durable than plastic, too.

A passive cooling pad has no fans built into it. It depends on external air flow to move hot air away from the pad and the laptop. A passive cooling pad that leaves a gap between laptop and itself is virtually useless. The gap isn’t wide enough to let air move freely in large volumes, and even a metal pad won’t absorb heat from a laptop it isn’t in contact with.

Wants friends (native speaker) who interest in

Active cooling pads like the one I bought for my wife’s laptop, has several fans built into their surfaces to draw cool air across the hottest parts of a laptop’s bottom. A gap between pad and laptop case is essential with an active cooling pad.

Make sure the cooling pad has a fan directly under the hot spot(s) on your laptop’s bottom. Feel the bottom of your laptop after it’s been running about half an hour to find the spot(s) where fans will do the most good.

Bear in mind that active cooling with fans, internal or external, consumes electricity and shortens battery life. But if you have to make the tradeoff between battery life and the lifespan of your laptop, the choice is pretty clear.

An additional plus to these active cooling pads is that they usually have extra USB ports. So it makes it easy to plug in your mouse, printer, external drives, etc. Then when you want to take you laptop somewhere, you just unplug it from the pad and off you go. It’s like a docking station! ============================================================================================ Have a question or problem? Write me at BaliPCAdvisor@Gmail.com.

Delicious International Dishes (Indonesian Language Version available at www.baliadvertiser.biz) I was lunching at Giuliano’s home in Modena, Italy. His elderly mother and her sister served this divine dish completely off my radar. Now I can’t stop making it and experimenting with different fillings. Giuliano refers to me as a barbarian for these liberties but you can’t keep a free spirited cook down! Try a smear of pesto, or tapenade on the cheese, skipping the proscuitto, to make it vegetarian.

Get creative - there are many ways to vary the filling. It’s traditional to slice off the sides of the eggplant to make a rectangle that you then slice giving nice little squares but you can also just slice into rounds. If we do make the rectangle we grill the sliced off pieces to use in another dish.

Giovanna and Giuliana’s Eggplant Cutlets Makes about 12 pieces

a little square book that opens to be filled but remains ‘hinged’ at the bottom.

Continue until you have many ‘little books’.

Sprinkle these with salt inside and out and put in a colander to drain for half an hour.

C/G/G - 1 Dec. 10

Meanwhile cut the proscuitto and cheese into thin squares just slightly smaller than the books of eggplant. If you are only using the cheese, smear now with the pesto or tapenade or whatever else you choose.

Ingredients: - 1 large globe eggplant, peeled - salt - 4-5 thin slices proscuitto - 200 grams cheese, something with a robust flavor like emmentaler - 1 cup finely ground bread crumbs - 2 eggs, beaten with a pinch of salt - salt to taste.

Pat the drained eggplant slices dry and fill each with a slice of cheese and a slice of proscuitto. Dip each filled eggplant piece in the beaten egg and then into the bread crumbs making sure to seal the edges so the cheese won’t leak out.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the eggplant ‘books’ until golden brown on both sides, draining on paper towels. Don’t crowd the pan.

-3 - 4 Tbl. canola oil

These are best eaten as they are cooked. I have heated left overs in the oven the next day and while not bad they’re so much better freshly fried.

Directions:

Buon Appetito!

Wash the eggplant and cut off the bottom and top. Slice off the sides so you end up with a rectangle of eggplant. (Save the cut off slices for use in another dish).

Lay the rectangle down and make a very thin slice about 2.5 mm thick but don’t cut all the way through. On the next slice of the same thickness do slice all the way through so you get

Many special stories have been told around this beverage, praising its medicinal, nutritious, and aphrodisiacal properties, and also warning of its intoxicating effects.

In pre-Hispanic times, its discovery was attributed to the ‘tlachuache’ (a small American marsupial) who enjoyed drinking the juice of maguey after scratching its core. Another version is from the Informers of Fray Tlachiquero worker of Bernardino de Sahagun, a Spanish Maguey monk, who interviewed Aztecs immediately after the conquest, which tells the story of the goddess Mayahuel as a distributor and spreader of the art of ‘raspar’ (scratching) the maguey. The truth is that this beverage was common to Mesoamerican peoples. After fermenting, it becomes ‘octli poliuhqui’, which, to the Spanish conquistadors’ ears, sounded like ‘Pulque’. Blanco Licor de la Diosa Mayahuel (the White Liquor of Goddess Mayahuel) refers to a particular beverage obtained from the heart of the plant. Pulque, or octli, is a milk-colored, viscous, alcoholic beverage, made from the fermented sap of the maguey plant. Similar to the process of the Indonesian beverage Legen, from Tlachiqueros pour Pulque into a container Siwalan or Buah Lontar.

Pulque is a traditional native beverage of Mexico, and it was considered sacred to ancient Mesoamerican peoples. Drinking pulque was restricted amongst the Aztecs, allowed only during certain Stowing barrels of Pulque from a cart in the street religious ceremonies and festivities, or to the elder people, punishing any transgression severely. After the Spanish conquest, the drink became secular, and its consumption rose. It reached its peak in the late 19th century. In the 20th century, the drink fell into decline, mostly because of competition from beer, which became more prevalent with the arrival of European immigrants. Currently, there are some efforts to revive the drink’s popularity through tourism. It is hoped that these efforts succeed, for the drink is full of nutrients and benefits. It contains carbohydrates, vitamin C, B-complex, D, E, amino acids, and minerals such as iron and phosphorus. Surprisingly, the consumption of pulque has grown amongst athletes and body-builders.

The images in this exhibition, such as ‘Illustrations 1, 2, 3 and 4’, come from the Archivo Casasola, the most important photographic archive in Mexico, which is an

extraordinary source of images of Mexican daily life. They were taken in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, by the brothers Agustin Victor and Miguel Casasola. The photographs brilliantly portray the Golden Age of pulque consumption, and the work undertaken in the agave plantations. They make a good portrait of the times when pulque was part of the daily life of a big segment of Mexican society.

Head In The Clouds Sculpture by Carola Vooges At Ganesha Gallery, Four Seasons Resort, Jimbaran Bay Tel: 701010 Carola Vooges states that “Sculpture is form in space visible to the mobile spectator-participant”. Carola also feels that the human race is unique, in that our heads literally scrape the clouds. “We are not only survivors but also dreamers who stare at the stars and contemplate the meaning of it all”. The sculptures of Dutch artist, and long-time Bali resident, Carola Vooges, have always been contemplative and dreamy. Carola’s works belong to Plato’s world of IDEA. Her art is an exploration of primordial forms and archetypes aimed at triggering sensual and spiritual associations. Carola’s starting points are carefully edited empirical excerpts from the natural world, blown up, turned around, and rendered in materials with little connection with the original. They are independent beings aimed to interact with the beholder as a conceptual extension of the Untitled 1 artist-creator.

The exhibition, ‘Head in the Clouds’, is a minimal presentation of only 5 new works. In them, Carola turns her eyes upwards to acknowledge the Sky, Planets, Moons, Stars, and Comets, while noting parallels with her first love the Sea. These themes can be clearly seen in the works ‘Galaxy’ and ‘Milky Way’. One of the most powerful works is ‘Obelisk’, an architectural stele that rises up into the stratosphere. This cluster of Babel-lie towers speaks of inter-galactic travel, and exotic structures built by alien cultures on unknown planets. It is simultaneously familiar and foreign, organic and manipulated, full of hidden facets and surprises. Like all of Carola’s work, it embodies solitude, reflection, and oneness.

The grains of the carefully selected woods Carola uses, such as those found in ‘Untitled 1’, add yet another dimension. These grains are like the sub-tones that make the resonance of certain instruments richer and more expressive. Her unusual forms, textures, and structures, also demand our attention if we are to appreciate her melodies and harmonics. Tempered by female intuition, these notes can be easily lost on those addicted to more conventional forms, or those only in search of crashing crescendos. So, too, Carola’s deep connection with Bali, her home for more than two decades, shimmers beneath the surface. The balance between Humans and Nature, Sky and Ocean, strike equilibrium. With her ‘Head in the Clouds’, Carola Vooges has embarked on a new course into the ‘Heart of Space’.

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE APRIL 06 - APRIL 20, 2011

Mars has joined Sun, Jupiter, Uranus and the retrograde Mercury all in the sign of Aries, really adding an enormous amount of fire to the already brewing pot of change and transformation. Remember also, that we are in the Aries moon cycle as well, which climaxes this fortnight in the Full Moon in Libra on the 18th. Pluto moves retrograde on the 9th and has been in a forward motion since September, and will remain that way until September 2011. Neptune is freshly in its own sign of Pisces, bringing a fluidity to body, mind and particularly spirit. The higher octave resonates with Divine Revelation and Illumination. The lower, drugs, alcohol and other addictions, along with martyrdom and victimization. It is a personal choice whether to remain in the camp of the misfortunate or to take up residence in those places that support your soul. Creating communities of like minded people is necessary now as we move into this unsettling and challenging phase of transition. Learn to flow like water. Surrender to the currents and take rest whenever and wherever it appears. Build your strength, integrity and trust in the Divine Flow of Existence. If disagreements or disruptions appear within your environment, do you best to defuse the situation through transmutation, rather than fuel the fires of disharmony. The focus now is Love and to distribute it widely and generously.

Neptune in Pisces, brings an amazing amount of compassion, kindness and empathy. Share it endlessly.

FULL MOON 27 Libra 44 April 18, 2011 10:45 a.m.

ARIES: Must be a great deal happening in your life now. Such a constellation in your sign has to be creating a lot of opportunity for you to bring your authentic self to the fore. A dynamic and key player in the current flow of events. Your words may be a little hasty, and not always well received, but for the most part you get your message across without too much disaster. There’s not much holding you back right now and you can make inroads in so many areas. There is a willingness to try many things new and to play the role of explorer. Be bold and lead the way for those yet doubtful. You do have leadership potential.

LIBRA: As Jupiter pulls away from Saturn’s opposition you are less inclined to feel threatened by those you’ve placed in authority positions in your life. Being sensitive to the Aries transits however, puts you in a bit of a bind when it comes to your values. Feeling like things are dealt with in a fair manner is important to you. At times, it may even be necessary for you to stand up for yourself and what you believe in.

Speak out and be heard. Your opinion is valuable, as are your particular gifts and talents. There is no one who does it quite the way you do, and no one better equipped to do your job, than you.

TAURUS: Venus flowing through PIsces, brings a certain sense of neediness to your relationships. The good part of this transit however is that the partner becomes more mutable, as do you yourself. Arguments are apt to erupt though when it comes to the bedroom. Be as loving and as amorous as possible at this potentially stressful sexual time. A great moment to bring out your charm and to tune into the sensitive nature of the Beloved. At the end of the day we all have the same feelings. Allow space for quietude and introspection within the relationship, as well as on your own. Some solitude is very important.

SCORPIO: As Pluto turns retrograde and for the next few months, you will be more inclined to develop your inner guidance rather than rely on others for their advice. This is the time for you to lose the doubt and to trust. At a time when so many things in your life are being taken away, it may seem like a tough call. Maintain your faith and determination to succeed and keep your intention focused. Setting goals and priorities is important for you now, even if they need to be changed along the way. Learning to adapt yourself to the uncertainties of life is your practice. Dissolve old behaviors when you become conscious of them.

GEMINI: Knowing how much you enjoy retrograde phases of Mercury, particularly as you are hypersensitive to them, this fortnight offers you the opportunity to reflect on the decisions you have made in the recent past and to modify where necessary. In the sign of Aries you may have made hasty choices, which when reflected on, are perhaps not in your highest and best interests. If you come across as a little fickle because of your change of mind, the best thing to do is simply apologize. The thing is, that we are all pretty much in the same situation now, with this cluster of planets in Aries.

SAGITTARIUS: Jupiter is rapidly making it’s way through the sign of Aries over the next few weeks. Harness it’s huge potential and start those things which may have only ever been a dream. This is your opportunity for an expansion of awareness as new information and insights come your way. There really is nothing or no one holding you back. Any perception you may have carried about people inhibiting your success, is seen as the myth that it is. It’s boldness that will set your actions apart from those of others. So be your bold and magnificent self and shine that light of love to all.

CANCER: This Aries moon cycle with it’s Libran Full Moon brings potency as it creates aspects to your Cancer planets. The tension is between the need for alone time and relationship responsibilities. This dynamic is being played out in the collective consciousness at large and within the personal arena of your own life. What needs modifying and what simply needs an expansion in your field? Embrace the shortcomings of others through compassionate discernment. We are all in this radical shift and transition period, and with that in mind, we go gently with each other.

It’s time to put yourself first.

CAPRICORN: If you are feeling squeezed from time to time, do your best to not take it personally. As the residue of past actions, trauma and abuse leave your field, some physical, mental and emotional stress can be felt. The most you can do is find ways to support this action.Nurture yourself and develop skills, techniques and practices which relax your system. There is no point worrying about potential future scenarios. Your focused attention is on what or whoever is currently in your field of perception, apart from those times you are actually dedicated to making plans. Make them and let go of outcomes.

LEO: You are being activated and stimulated by the Aries planets in a great way and it is supportive of you expressing your individuality and showcasing your talents, gifts and self.

Use some discrimination when it comes to sharing these however, as you are far too sensitive at the moment to deal with feedback that is hurtful. Keep also, your own comments in check, as it is all too easy to say the wrong thing at the wrong time, which could easily spark a bush fire of emotions with long lasting repercussions. A fantastic time to make new plans and to create with your own personal flair.

AQUARIUS: Uranus your ruler, has been activated by so many planets recently that you could actually be feeling a little burnt out. Take the time to nurture yourself and to regenerate.

The odd afternoon off, maybe even day dedicated to your relaxation is in order. As things are moving at such an accelerated pace, it requires integration time and the need for introspection. If these periods are only brief, then at least make the most of them. Surprisingly enough you can accelerate the integration by placing yourself in a very relaxed zone and watching the procedure through guided meditation or visualization.

VIRGO: You’ve passed through an opportunity to heal deeply through relationship. If you honored this window, then things are looking good and if you failed to see this chance for change, then you are probably dealing with a few inconsistencies in your life and possibly a disgruntled partner or friendship.

Never mind, you will always get the chance to make adjustments a little later. For now, you may just have to deal with this situation, until things have settled a little, closer to Full Moon. Your health is good and you are moving forward in many areas of your life. No sense playing the role of martyr any longer.

PISCES: Neptune is the higher octave of Venus and both planets are currently in your sign. Romantic interludes are highly probable during this phase, with a beautiful Libran Full Moon setting the stage with poetry, song and dance.

Enjoy all your feminine attributes and particularly the Divine woman within, who is guiding you, through the gentle whispers in your soul. Follow her inspiration and find your way home to love. It is in the deep recesses of the human heart that we find the pulse of existence.

Whether male of female, you can follow the thread leading and guiding you forward now. Be Love.

UBUD WRITERS READERS FESTIVAL

Imploring the Muses

By Shelley Kenigsberg When asked what was the most frightening thing he’d ever encountered, Ernest Hemingway answered, “A blank s h e e t o f p a p e r. ” For me, today, it’s the screen. And the absence of the muses.

What’s happening?

Deadline looming: check. Article begun: check. Time-wasting begun in earnest: check. i Guilt and anxiety in full swing: check.

Familiar? Perhaps all too often for some, regularly for others (and never for the lucky few), inspiration—that sought-after pool of creativity—dries up. Today the muses have lost my address and rather than wait for a delivery (I’m impatient) I’ve decided to find them. In the many and various places I’ve tried. If not there, I’ll look in places I’ve not tried. Yet. I think of 3 ways to write. 1. Plan—the premise, the threads of the article, subheadings. Then fill in gaps. 2. Brainstorm— write ‘writer’s block’ in the middle of a page, draw lines and terms leading from it, extend from those. Keep going until I stop. 3. Just begin typing. Just write.

Now, some other tried and true remedies for fledglings and professionals.

Get physical: Take a walk, using the space and freedom away from a desk for ‘mulling’ time. Dance (physical exertion often frees up the creative stream and inspires brilliance).

Keep a daily journal: It’s unlikely ever to be seen by anyone else and this freedom is valuable.

Stay staring: Sit and stare out a window and enter the (very productive) hypnogogic state.

Become a free faller: Write without lifting the pen from the page—no editing, no stopping, no judgment. ‘Writing from the unconscious’ often gives rise to language, descriptions or associations we’d never have found with conscious effort.

Change tack: If you write prose, try poems. And vice versa.

Get your words down differently.

Get prompted: Writing prompts work best with a time limit: • Pick an object and write about it every day—see how many different ways you can write about the same thing.

• Choose one photo or image each day and write about it.

• Start a paragraph alternating sentences with ‘Luckily’, then ‘Unluckily’. What may happen is you feel so silly that the writing becomes a source of fun, of joy even.

• Choose a random word from the dictionary and write twenty different sentences using it.

C/U/G-23 Feb. 11

Whichever you choose, try for repetition (same action, time, place)—it makes writing a normal, non-threatening activity.

Sometimes, though, simple determination to write isn’t enough. Many writers, appeal to the muses with a writing ritual.

Maya Angelou, for example, says: ‘When I’m writing, I get up at about five… I can’t write in my house so I take a hotel room and ask them to take everything off the walls so there’s me, the Bible, Roget’s Thesaurus and some good, dry sherry and I’m at work by 6:30. I write on the bed lying down…in longhand on yellow pads. Once into it, all disbelief is suspended, it’s beautiful’.

Isabel Allende creates an altar, places familiar objects around it, lights a candle and sits at her desk (always the same room, same chair) and begins.

C/U/G-26 Jan. 11

Gail Goodwin works, ‘At a nice teak desk, long and wide, on which I keep a collection of special things: crisp new legal pads and No. 2 pencils with good erasers that don’t leave red smears … ’.

They may sound compulsive and eccentric, irrelevant and trivial, but rituals tend to reduce writing anxiety. Perhaps the first key to writing freedom is to find a ritual that can, by virtue of being repetitive and deliberate, provide a sense of control, even power and help make your writing more fluent.

Rituals may incorporate elements of superstition and magic and even if you don’t believe in magic, using it tends to promote a sense of being in control. For some, these rituals make beginning easier and writing blocks less threatening.

So, if it’s the right pen, the dressing gown (or not—Victor Hugo apparently liked to write in the nude), the same early hours, the usual posture, try it. Continue your musings, stay amused… and light that candle again and again.

(Next issue, Honouring Your Editor by Shelley Kenigsberg who will be offering an Editing in Paradise workshop following the festival. www.editinginparadise.com ) The Ubud Writers and Readers Festival will take place October 5-9, 2011.

I mean I’ve typed a title. Congratulated myself (no doubt prematurely) for bit of wit. Despite not knowing how to proceed, I smile. Sometimes, the title is the best place to start. i

UBUD LOS ARGENTINOS & MORE A n o t h e r outstandingly successful BaliSpirit Festival – yoga, dance and world music – made its mark on Indonesia last month. To complement the five-day festival, held on two sites close to Ubud, the organizers spread the wealth of international yoga gurus and music acts to other parts of the country.

First, a “Yoga Thon” at innovative spa resort Desa Seni, then concerts at locations across Bali – including The Spa Resort Tembok, on Bali’s north coast, in Sanur, and at Potato Head and Candi in Seminyak. In Jakarta, the Canadian band, Delhi to Dublin, and the awardwinning Argentinean group Los Pinguos performed in major events. The night after the festival, Ubud’s South American inspired restaurant, Café Havana, hosted Los Pinguos for one final toe-tapping evening, before the four musicians headed back to their homes in Los Angeles. Tucking into Havana’s delicious South American dishes, the four told the audience they intended to bring their families back to the paradise of Bali as soon as possible.

POWERFUL COLLABORATIONS

The BaliSpirit Festival also prompted some inspiring performances and collaborations by Indonesian artists. A week before the festival, Bali’s East African inspired marimba group Supa Kalulu joined Burkina Faso’s Dafra to create a memorable fundraising event for Green School. Then at the festival itself, Supa Kalulu put on a truly magical, professional set, thanks to the inspired leadership of passionate teacher Jan Maraire. Supa Kalulu is a pulsating mix of marimba, percussion, guitar, horns and vocals. For the festival, the group included musicians from Solo, Sumatera, Makassa, Toraja, Bali, Amsterdam, Japan, Tanzania and USA. Tel: +62 085 857 235 04. Email: jmaraire7@yahoo.com.

INDONESIANS INSPIRING THE WORLD From the nearby v i l l a g e o f Pengosekan, internationally r e n o w n e d Cudamani began the BaliSpirit Festival’s Saturday night program with a kecak workshop, to the delight of both participants and observers. A kecak class is a very good representation of the possibility of collaboration; 30 total strangers can form a harmonious, multi-layered music/ dance event in a very short time, simply by trusting the direction of leader and working together. Later, flown in directly from yet another tour to Turkey, Jakarta’s versatile Muslim Sufi group Debu claimed many new international fans, while delighting the festival’s Indonesian guests. Fifteen of the festival’s hard working logistics team – all Muslims from neighbouring Lombok, were also delighted to take a photo with their hero, Debu lead singer Mustafa.

FIXING A HOLE? Remember the huge hole in Ubud’s main street, in front of the palace, in 2009? Caused in part by the enormous weight of huge tourist buses outside the main Ubud market, it created havoc for traffic for more than 3 months. Now another hole has been patched up outside Panorama Hotel on Jl Pengosekan, again caused by a deluge of buses, while closer to the Monkey Forest intersection on the same road, the intrusive monsters parking on an angle outside two new restaurants are already wrecking the pavement there. While they are there, the huge monstrosities continue to belch petrol fumes because their drivers don’t dare turn off their badly serviced engines, in case

Say What?

Question: I’m almost 6 months pregnant, and my husband and I constantly argue. He says that I have an attitude problem, and I must admit that, with being pregnant, everything seems to get on my nerves. Lately we have been fighting over my 5-year old daughter from a previous marriage. He says her mouth is too smart, and that I don’t know how to raise or control her. Being that her biological father is not in the picture, and that she has no male authority, I thought that since he is my husband and the stepfather, his stepping in and playing the authority figure would help. But he tells me that I am a grown adult, and that she isn’t his child, so therefore I shouldn’t need any help raising her. I’m pregnant and tired. Things are overwhelming at times, and I just thought that with him being in the house -- except for his always arguing with me about something -- if he were more stern with her, then maybe she would straighten up. She is 5, not 15, so it’s still early.

This weekend he said that she hit him, and I don’t know if she did or not, but we got into a big fight over it. He was supposed to join us on an outing, but he changed his mind instead and said he was staying in. When I came home and found him not here, I assumed that he had already known he wanted to go somewhere else, and that he had used my daughter as an excuse. Insecure or otherwise, I called him and accused him of lying to me. He hung up on me and turned off his cell phone. This made me furious, so when he eventually called back, I started arguing with him even more. In a fit of anger and desperation, I told him that he doesn’t love me or respect me, and that I want him to leave.

He came home, got his things, and left.

I believe the hormones are making me crazy, and the fact that I’m insecure makes it seem as if he doesn’t care about me at all. That isn’t the first time that I have told him to leave. He stayed gone all day and came back the next day to take more of his belongings. I tried to talk to him, but he just blew me off. He came back 3 times in one day, each time taking one thing. Last night, he came back at 9 PM and accused me of having someone in the house because an air conditioner had been moved from one window to another. When I told him that my brother moved it, he didn’t believe me and left. Then he came back again and took a shower and said that he was going to sleep on the couch.

When I tried to talk to him he blew me off and didn’t want to hear what I had to say. I don’t know how to reach him, how to make him see that I care, or how to get close to him. He won’t go to counseling, and I don’t think we could afford it anyway. Any advice?

Dr. ZZ: From the sounds of it, you already have two children on your hands, and you’re pregnant with a third.

Yes, it’s true that the hormones of pregnancy can make a woman feel anxious, irritable and high strung, but what’s your husband’s excuse? Although you know what it’s like to have a baby, chances are all this is new to him. He’s probably scared without a clue to know what to expect.

Rather than admit to his own anxiety, he is making excuses about his behavior and pointing a finger at you. It’s a good self-defense strategy.

The fact that he is unwilling to take any responsibility for your daughter or to help you with her, however, is not a healthy sign. Especially now that you’re pregnant, you could certainly use some help. Heck! You are not only handling everything on your own, you’re also having to referee fights between your husband and your daughter.

Then he comes sniveling to you when she hits him.

Phleez! She is only 5 years old. If he thinks sharing you with a 5 year old is tough, he’s soon going to have to share you with a 5 year old plus a newborn. This is only the beginning.

As far as making him see that you care for him, there’s nothing you have to do. He already knows you care for him. That’s why he is punishing you now and having a pout.

He’s creating a drama to get your attention. Chances are he’ll behave like this until he has had enough, or he may just keep on behaving like this indefinitely. Your only choices are to find solace in having him gone and to let him stay that way, or else to put up with him and wait him out because the advantages of living with him outweigh his childishness.

Of course, you are the only one who can make that decision for yourself. If you want to work this out with counseling, money need not be a deciding factor.

Depending upon where you live, many therapists offer sliding scale fees, and clergy are often available at no charge. Money aside, however, you are not going to be able to work on the relationship alone. Your husband needs to grow up, and he needs be the man that the situation calls for. If you’re willing to hang in there and give him time, he may eventually come around. There’s no guarantee.

Money Saving Tips For People Living in Bali: Part II In Denpasar, the best places to shop for TVs, stereos, DVD players, refrigerators, stoves, mixers, water dispensers, etc., go to Sakura (Jl. Diponegoro, Komp.

Diponegoro Mega, tel. 0361-264-709). The shelf prices are cheaper than Carrefour, but you can still bargain for even less. Sakura also has a fantastic inventory of DVD movies on the second floor (tel. 0361-229-820). Test DVDs before buying. For laptops, modems, printers and computer equipment and accessories, shop at Denpasar’s RIMO (Jl. Diponegoro, Komputer Mal Centre, tel. 0361-280-175/233-206).

You can now buy handphones that can hold three SIM cards: two 2 GSM (Simpati, XL, IM3) and one CDMA (Flexi, Fren and esia). This allows you to use the SIM card that will get you the best rate. Often, if you call any other person who has the same SIM as you, the call is very cheap. For example, when making local 0361 calls on Bali, use a CDMA card. When calling Simpati, AS or Kartu Halo numbers, use your Simpati SIM card. When calling the USA, select your XL GSM SIM, which gives the best rate. Some brand names of these types of cell phones, all made in China, are Cross, Nexian and G-von, costing anywhere from Rp300,000 to Rp1 million. Even low end models have Bluetooth and 1 GB memory cards (for music, photos).

If you try to get by with under 5,500 Watts of power in your house or apartment, the rate is subsidized by the government. If you use over 5,500 Watts it is not. It may save you money to change the type of PLN (electric company) account you have. If you are using from 4,500 Watts to 5,500 Watts, you are eligible to register in a program called prabayar in which you don’t have to pay a monthly set basic fee (abonemen). With prabayar, it’s like buying phone pulses. Pulses can be purchased for as little as Rp20,000 up to Rp1 million, valid for three months. When you use your pulses up, just buy more.

If you travel by plane regularly you should register as a member of the airline company you use who will announce upcoming promotional campaigns to you by email or SMS to your hand phone. This allows you to be one of the first to book when cheap seats become available. In 2010, Air Asia regularly advertised to its members Jakarta-Bali-Jakarta flights for less than Rp500,000! You may also save up to 30% on international tickets as compared to the competitors’ prices by registering as a member of Malaysia Airlines, Emirates, Cathay Pacific, KLM and others and just monitor. In the spring of 2010 Malaysia Airlines offered Amsterdam-Bali-Amsterdam tickets at the implausibly low price of 525 euro.

ARDEN DOCTOR

by The Garden Doctor

by Dr. Kris

The Birth of the Modern Landscape – Part II – Monet’s Garden at Giverny In the last issue we looked at the revolution in garden design that lead to the global popularity of the English cottage style garden. No discipline exerted a stronger influence on garden design than did landscape painting. It was a true case of ‘life imitating art’. One of the most famous cottage gardens in the world that still exists today is that of the famous French impressionist painter Claude Monet. The artist moved from Paris to Giverny (in the French countryside) from 1883 until his death in 1926, and his garden was considered by many of his friends to be his greatest masterpiece. Monet is a particularly interesting case, he was not only an artist who painted landscapes but also someone who was active in landscape design. In Monet’s Garden at Giverny, we can see the artistic influence exerted both ways. His garden is probably the most famous garden in France, approximately 500,000 people visit each year! Claude Monet’s gardens at Giverny are like his paintings, brightly colored patches that are messy but balanced.

plants were grown in greenhouses. Monet placed arches over the paths and intermixed flowers with the fruit trees. There are sections of colors as well as asymmetries featuring flowerbeds of differing heights, fruit trees, and the simplest of flowers, dispersed amongst the most rare varieties. Monet employed seven gardeners to maintain the garden’s natural look.

The water gardens have a Japanese theme. The pond and the surrounding vegetation form an enclosure separated from the surrounding countryside. This part of the garden is planted with wisterias, weeping willows, azaleas, irises, bamboos, herbaceous plants, and the famous water lilies which bloom all summer. The hardy tropical water lilies were planted in tubs and meticulously placed so that he could harmonise the colors. The water lilies include the colours red, yellow, white and pink. The water garden is full of asymmetries and natural curves.

Monet showed that landscapes and painting were Arguably the founder of interchangeable art forms, and Impressionism, Claude Monet he was heavily involved with proceeded to paint the world landscaping as well as painting. around him in a completely Various painted scenes from new perspective, one of deep his garden at Giverny are expression and immediate amongst his most popular impression.

These issues for more than twenty years. concerned industrialisation, Monet’s paintings of Giverny progress, and man’s capture his passion for both art relationship with nature and and the natural world.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid!

By Vaughan Hatch

God it’s Hot – Send out an ‘Es oh Es’!

It’s so hot at the moment that if you’re not ducking in and out of the a/c you’ll be melting on the stop. This is where you need a little help to cool you down from the inside out…

‘Es’ is Indonesian/Balinese for ice; it derives from English because there wasn’t ever ice here before the advent of refrigeration! Ice comes in many colourful, creative forms and makes a nice tropical dessert that is no less fancy in its presentation or taste than say ice cream or gelato. The ice comes in small blocks, or can be crushed or shaved. It is combined with colourful jellies and tropical fruit and drizzled with condensed milk and sugary syrup.

There are many different types; the more traditional ones are: es cincau (grass jelly), es campur (mixed), es dawet/cendol (sago, coconut and palm sugar), es teler (coconut, avocado and jackfruit), es buah (fruit) and es kelapa muda (young coconut). New creative recipe names include es rasa sayang (ice of love), es putus cinta (ice for the broken heart) or es pocong (ice for zombies).

‘Es’ can also refer to ice cream, such as es lilin (coconut milk-based stick ice cream, which come in tropical flavours such as durian, jackfruit, red bean, green bean, black rice etc); es kojong/es puter in cones which were originally served by sellers who travelled door to door, but now you can get them in small tubs at the supermarket by a company called Es Puter 99. If you are invited to a traditional ceremony in Bali, you may be lucky enough to get served one of these, complete with wooden stick!

These days there are a huge range of places which sell ice, from the street vendor to the five star restaurant. For newcomers, it’s advised that you check first to see if the ice is made from mineral water (“aqua”). If they say it is “es kristal”, then it is from a registered company with good hygiene standards and it should be ok.

BYOB!

Artisans of Bali by

So many Artisans, where does one go, you will find them everywhere in Bali, all you need to do is look around. And, they are not necessarily situated out in the countryside but here in town, close to all the shopping action! What you need is to have the interest (but of course you have the interest otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this column) you need some time, you need some cash, (as many Artisans don’t have credit card facilities) and you need to walk or drive around, stopping at will.

It’s the best shopping experience you can have, seeing how product is made, meeting interesting people (even though many Artisans don’t speak English) but it makes for an enjoyable outing, and of course, you may well find what you are looking for (or not looking for) plus much more! The ‘side streets’ is where the ‘action’ is, the streets that run off the ByPass, Sunset Rd, & Jl Raya Kerobokan. There are literally an amazing number of Artisans working/laboring on numerous products - ranging from furniture of all kinds, mirrors, lights & lamps, handicraft, iron and stone, you name it, you will find it, if you want it, do a deal and you are done!

On my many wanderings, and always on the lookout for the unusual, here I find some eclectic offerings, in a rather basic sort of place called KUSUMA JOK however, their product sure wasn’t basic, it was ‘up there with the rest’ just waiting to be discovered, by me, you and everyone else!

What took my fancy was not the regular leather chairs, the sofa, a chaise, the stool but such an exciting collection of poufs, stools & chairs all dressed in cow hide, plain but it’s the patterned cow hide that I like!

Just take a look at these good looking stools & poufs, to mix in with your existing furniture at home, nothing like a touch of zebra stripe to give your room an instant update (sort of like throwing on that favorite animal scarf around your neck, definitely gives a certain panache!) so don’t forget that a piece of furniture can do this too for your special space, okay.

Now, a little about the guys that make these fabulous pieces and other more classic leather styles for stately abodes.

Kusuma Jok was pioneered by Joko Cahyo back in 2002 and again like many gifted hard-working Artisans, he has been rewarded with a growing business for his entire family.

His life began in his home town of Banyuwangi in Java,

which is where he spent some years learning and working in the leather business. After acquiring some solid experience, crafting handbags and furniture, he, like many Javanese could see ‘golden’ opportunities in Bali. His first shop opened in Jimbaran but, perhaps he could see that to be nearer to the retail/wholesale action of Seminyak was the next step, so he moved to his current premises to Kerobokan, and this is where you will find him, hard at work.

Kusuma Jok has acquired a very loyal following, from such countries as, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, to Australia & South Africa and many European countries, particularly France and Italy. He has also built up a steady stream of clients coming from Jakarta, seems to me like ‘the world has found’ something at Kusuma Jok. Apart from the special talent of Joko, his brother Mandi and their team, what is this special ‘something’ that makes some Artisans do better than others?

Joko Cahyo gave me their motto, which is - to provide quality product for their customers, they are their priority! (however, I have to admit that most Artisans have this motto, but personally I believe, it comes down to the people whom you are doing business with, like any business, it’s all about personalities, and what clicks, don’t you agree?

Kusuma Jok can produce any type of furniture (working with woods such as teak & sono, cow hide & fabric) but it’s his chairs that are extra special, as you will see lined up in a row. I hear they are always working on new styles, keeping ahead of the rest, which is the way Bali works of course!

All his employees are trained on the job, in areas of carpentry, finishing, and builders for frames & seats, all at the ready to work on your order!

Is This The Biggest “I told you so” in History? (or everything you don’t want to know about nuclear reactors) We all use electrical power in our homes and in many previous articles we have looked at the sources, reliability and costs of our power in Bali. Indonesia is currently considering the development of nuclear power stations to provide energy for the people, we have to ask is this a good idea?

Back in the 1960’s Europe was full of protests about nuclear power. Governments and commercial interests were pushing nuclear power as a solution to future energy needs tempted by the promise of clean, cheap, abundant energy. Much of the population had their doubts and mass rallies were held in many of the cities of Europe. Protests were huge and included all sections of society.

The argument at the time was simple. Nuclear power is very dangerous and you can never be 100% risk free. Concerns raised at the time were: ● The potential for huge disasters and the scale of devastation that could result. ● The enormous lengths of time radioactive contamination remains. ● Nuclear facilities in areas prone to earthquakes and other natural disasters. ● The fallibility of technology and the likelihood of unforeseen design flaws. ● Shortcuts taken by profit driven constructors and operators. ● The unbelievably difficult problem of safely disposing of waste that remains highly dangerous for hundreds of years. ● The danger of bomb making materials falling into the wrong hands (Gaddafi with an atomic bomb?).

But this was all forgotten or ignored.

Years have passed and we now find ourselves with 442 nuclear power stations in 30 different countries around the world and another 65 under construction. America has most with 104, France is 2nd with 58 and Japan has 54 despite being in one of the most earthquake and tsunami prone areas on the planet. China has 13 in operation with 27 under construction, 50 more are planned and a further 110 are being proposed.

One of the big selling points is that nuclear power is clean.

Well certainly you don’t get millions of tones of carbon being pumped out into the atmosphere as you do from dirty old coal fired power stations but how does a reactor work?

Energy is produced through nuclear fission, the splitting of the atom. An atomic particle, a neutron, collides at some ridiculously fast speed with an atom of uranium, the uranium atom splits into lighter elements (such as strontium and cesium) releasing a rather humungous amount of heat energy and 2 or 3 further neutrons which then collide with further uranium atoms creating an ever increasing chain reaction. This chain reaction is, of course, the basis of the atomic bomb.

The process also releases just a bit more than a smidgeon of radiation. It can hardly be described as clean.

In a nuclear power station this chain reaction is carried out inside a nuclear “reactor” where it can be controlled, the radiation can be contained and in which the released heat can be harnessed. The fuel for the reaction is in the form of uranium rods positioned in the reactor “core” where they can react with each other. “Control rods” can be slid between the uranium rods, these are rods that absorb neutrons and so can slow down the reaction. By sliding the control rods in and out the chain reaction can be managed.

Most reactors (not all) also use water which is circulated through the reactor taking away the heat, the water also slows the neutrons down and helps to control the chain reaction but more importantly takes the heat to a heat exchanger where it is used to make steam which in turn drives turbines to generate electricity.

If for some reason the control rods are not inserted or there is a loss of water in the reactor the reactor will start to get hotter. As it gets hotter the chain reaction speeds up and generates even more heat at an ever increasing rate. The temperature increases exponentially.

If the reactor gets too hot it goes out of control and things start to break down. The ability to control the reactor may be lost. The water level may fall exposing the fuel rods which

might start to melt, the ability to insert the control rods may be lost and/or the pressure can build up in the water cooling system which may rupture. The water itself may breakdown into an explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen leading to a major explosion (this is what happened in the recent Japanese Fukushima disaster where the outer buildings were blown off several of the reactors and also in the far more serious case of Chernobyl in which the whole reactor was blown apart).

If the temperature continues to rise the fuel rods may melt down into an uncontrollable mass which can fall to the bottom of the reactor and burn its way through concrete and steel releasing huge amounts of radiation into the ground.

This is known as a meltdown.

C/Bm/I-12 Jan 11

Chernobyl was the worst nuclear accident the world has known. It was an older design of reactor which used a solid block of graphite as the reactor core with uranium fuel rods and control rods slid into it and cooling water circulating through it. The disaster was not caused by failure but by stupid mistakes made by the engineers controlling the reactor who were carrying out a test, they removed most of the control rods before turning off the circulation of cooling water. The reactor overheated and melted down and, disastrously, the graphite core set on fire, the fire threw up a cloud of radiation into the atmosphere that spread radiation as far away as Scotland, Norway and North Africa and covered much of Asia.

10 - 125 kVA with LPG fuel

In the case of Chernobyl there were (rather stupidly) large water storage tanks under the reactor. If the core had burned its way through to the water tanks there would have been a much larger explosion which would have made the disaster far worse. As it was 2 volunteers were found who were willing to forfeit their lives by swimming into the highly radioactive water tanks to manually release the water and avert a far more serious disaster.

Engineering aspects are the vulnerability of nuclear reactors. Pumps, pipework, joints in the containment structures and fuel and control rod loading and unloading equipment are all expected to operate without fault. Once a nuclear reactor is live, or as they say critical, there is no going back. You can’t go in there to change or repair anything later. Unfortunately total 100% reliability simply is not possible in engineering.

In the case of the Japanese reactors at Fukushima the design is totally dependent on keeping the cooling water moving. Remember the water pumps must be kept running with total reliability for decades. Water pumps driven by the national electric grid can hardly be considered foolproof.

As we are all too aware blackouts do occur particularly in earthquake prone areas.

Ozone Solutions: • Crystal clear pool and spa • No more red eyes, dry or itchy skin • Easy to install, operate and maintain • Less back flushing & prolong equipment life If you want the ultimate in soft, sanitary and odour free water, consider Bayern Ozone Solutions are the answer. Our ozone combines the power of ozone with the benefits of Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) of hydroxyl radicals. It does not only provide pools with crystal clear and healthier water, but also reduces chlorine use by 90%.

UV Disinfection Backup power in Fukushima we learn, was provided by diesel powered generators which are, of course, vulnerable to any number of causes of failure particularly when built right on a coast susceptible to tsunamis. The only further backup was a bank of batteries that gave a mere 10 hours of power.

The earthquake and tsunami cut the power to the reactors and knocked out the generators. 10 hours later the batteries died. The water pumps stopped, the reactor cores heated up and we understand fuel rods started to melt damaging the reactor cores. Hydrogen was produced which blew the buildings apart. It is amazing that they have managed to keep the reactors cool enough to avoid a full meltdown although there is obviously enough damage to cause serious radiation leakage.

Remember this is in one of the most technological advanced countries in the world and a people who are fastidious in nature. It is to their credit that they have been keeping their people and the world informed regarding the details of the accident and the progress of their efforts. The disaster is still unfolding.

And a billion voices all over the world cry in unison “we told you so”.

Local News Catastrophe Makes Clear Indonesia Isn’t Ready for Nuclear Power, Experts Warn If a nation as technologically advanced as Japan is struggling to contain a nuclear catastrophe, what chance does Indonesia - given its poor regulatory climate, low level of technology and weak response to any disaster - have of safely running a nuclear plant? That was the question posed on Wednesday by experts, activists and politicians in response to officials’ claims a day earlier that it was safe to build a nuclear power plant here.

Sony Keraf, a former environment minister and member of the opposition Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), said the unfolding nuclear crisis in Fukushima, Japan, was sufficient reason to end all talk of building a similar plant in Indonesia.

“This debate is over. I’m not talking about the scientific reasons but simply using common sense here,” he said. “Developed countries like Germany and Russia, which are known for their high level of technology, have stated they will review their nuclear power plants, so why is the Indonesian government acting otherwise? It’s strange.”

Sony also cited Indonesia’s poor safety culture of lack of discipline compared to Japan, particularly in regard to natural disaster mitigation, as further arguments against building a nuclear plant here.

Alvin Lie, a senior politician from the ruling coalition’s National Mandate Party (PAN), echoed the sentiment.

“Even Germany is rethinking its power plants,” he said, “so why are we so eager to develop one here?”

He added that if the government was really keen to push ahead with the plan, the officials backing it should be made to live near the reactors. “If not, we should build the nuclear plant near the State Palace or the House of Representatives,” Alvin said. “Would they go for that?”

The government has proposed two sites in Bangka-Belitung province to host nuclear power plants. It plans to build four reactors, each requiring an outlay of up to Rp. 20 trillion ($2.3 billion), by 2025. The plants are expected to produce a combined 4,000 megawatts of electricity, or a quarter of Java’s power demand.

The government also claims the reactors will be of the fourth-generation type - a technology currently in the research phase and only expected to be commercially viable by 2030 at the earliest.

Iwan Kurniawan, a nuclear expert, said the government’s claim that it would build fourth-generation reactors made no sense. “In addition, are there any safe sites in this country for a nuclear power plant?” he said. “[Bangka-Belitung] experiences frequent earthquakes of magnitude 4.9 and up, but the government claims it’s safe.

But given the potential of damage from an earthquake, it’s still too risky.”

Technology aside, Iwan added, Indonesia is just not yet prepared to deal with a potential radiation leak. Nur Hidayati, from Greenpeace Southeast Asia, questioned the government’s claims of compliance with regulations laid out by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

“It has never been clear about the studies conducted by Batan for complying with the IAEA regulations,” she said, referring to the National Atomic Energy Agency.

Environment Minister Gusti Muhammad Hatta said on Saturday (16/3) said that nuclear power plants should be the last resort since the country still had several energy options.

Gusti’s statement comes as the National Atomic Energy Agency (BATAN) insisted on going ahead with its nuclear plant program despite mounting opposition.

“There’s no need to hurry to build a nuclear power plant except if we start running out of energy resources,” Gusti said on Friday. He said that Indonesia could explore cleaner energy options such as geothermal, wind or water to power electricity plants.

Aside from problems with the supply of raw materials, the government needs to ensure the public about the security aspect following Japan’s ongoing nuclear crisis, he said. “It is not easy to convince a public that is skeptical about nuclear reactors in Indonesia,” he added.

Under the 2009 Environmental Law, Gusti’s office is responsible for issuing environmental impact analysis documents for strategic businesses, including for nuclear power plants.

The nuclear crisis in Japan, triggered by the 9.0 Richter scale- earthquake, has forced the Japanese government to evacuate an area up to 30 km from the plant site. Like Japan, Indonesia is located within the ring of fire that is prone to earthquakes. (March 17th 2011)

Serious Population Boom Threatens Indonesia The National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) stated that the uncontrolled population boom could pose a serious threat to Indonesia due to its negative impacts on various sectors.

“You can imagine what will happen if the population continues to grow and approach 500 million,” he said.

He said that such a situation might become a reality if the government did not suppress the population growth rate.

“The uncontrollable population growth can pose a serious threat and the outcome of an Indonesian population census in 2010 has clearly shown the signs of an impending population explosion,” Head of the Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) Sugiri Syarief said here on Monday (28/3).

“Over the last ten years the population has increased to 32.7 million and an average growth of 1.49 percent. If the population growth rate remains at 1.49 percent it can be predicted that by 2045 the population reached 450 million.

Sugiri Syarief made the statement after opening the 2011 Indonesian Population and Family Planning Consultation Programs here. Sugiri said that the population boom will occur in Indonesia unless immediate efforts were made to suppress the population growth rate.

The recent Indonesian population growth reached 237.6 million with a growth rate of 1.49 percent. “The number had also caused many problems in residential areas such as trash, flooding and traffic congestion not to mention the difficulty of access to clean water, air and climate change issues,” he said.

“At that time the world population is projected to be nine billion people whereas one in every 20 people in the world is Indonesian,” he said.

It was necessary to suppress the population growth rate so as not to adversely affect the environment and revenue increase, he said.

“The high number of children will reduce the ability of human capital investment in the family, which will affect education and public health,” he said.

On the other hand, a large population with low human resources would destroy the quality of natural resources, he said. (March 28th 2011)

Indonesia Trying to Reduce Maternal Death Rate Indonesia is trying to reduce maternal death rate from currently at 228 per 100,000 living births to 102 by 2015.

Coordinating minister for people’s welfare Agung Laksono said here on Saturday “it must drop to 102 by 2015.” The minister said the rate of maternal deaths in the country was the highest among members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). He said the government had been committed to reducing the rate in line with the Millennium Development Goals. One of the efforts to realize the goal is preparing various health facilities especially for birthing, such as up-grading midwifery skills, he said. The minister said he admitted that the number of professional midwives was not big especially in the regions and small islands.

“In remote islands it could take days to get to facilities or professional midwives,” he said. He said the government would provide the budget for it with regard to reducing the rate of maternal deaths. (March 19th 2011) Merapi Cold Lava Smashes Villages Again Cold lava streaming down Mount Merapi slopes on Saturday night smashed and engulfed houses up to more than one meter high at some districts in Sleman regency, an official said. “According to preliminary data collected, as many as 41 houses are submerged by cold lava such as those at Guling and Sindumartani village at Ngemplak district,” Urip Bahagia, duty manager of Sleman Regional Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD), said here Sunday. Bahagia said those house had severely been damaged by volcanic materials like sand, stones and even big sized boulders.

“The houses were destroyed beyond repair, and tens of families need to be evacuated,” he said. In addition to the 41 buried under volcanic materials, there were also houses, which sustained light destruction that mitigation agency officers on the field were still collecting data on the impacts.

The cold lava onslaught from the slopes of Merapi on Saturday afternoon was triggered by torrential rains. Aside from smashing houses along its way downwards from the slopes, the cold lava had also destroyed some dams along the way. The 2,968 meters (9,738 feet) Merapi erupted on October 26 until November 30, 2010 that had left 350 people dead and at least 350,000 others had been made displaced. (March 20th 2011) Indonesia Screens Japan Travelers for Radiation Indonesia gave a preliminary all-clear Saturday (19/3) after radiation-screening passengers arriving at Jakarta airport from Japan, which is battling to prevent leaks at a stricken nuclear power plant. “The nuclear energy regulatory agency, with the airport’s management, started to carry out screenings on Tuesday (15/3),” Soekarno Hatta international airport official Frans Yoseph told AFP. “Up until now we have not detected any sign of radiation,” Yoseph said adding that they will continue to conduct checks until the Japan’s nuclear crisis ends. The team conducted screenings for passengers, crew members and luggage coming off direct flights from Japan, he said, adding that there were six flights to and from Tokyo and Narita every day. A 9.0-magnitude earthquake on March 11 triggered a giant tsunami that flattened Japan’s northeast coast and killed 7,197, according to the latest police death toll, with almost 11,000 officially listed as missing. Four of the six reactors at Fukushima No. 1 plant have been in danger of leaking dangerous amounts of radioactivity after an earthquake and tsunami led to a series of hydrogen explosions and fires at buildings housing the units. (March 19th 2011) Bali bombing Boss Umar Patek arrested in Pakistan, Claim Security Sources A senor Indonesian al-Qaeda operative wanted over the 2002 Bali bombings has been arrested in Pakistan, a rare high-profile capture that could provide valuable intelligence about the organization and possible future plots. Umar Patek, a suspected member of the al-Qaeda linked militant group Jemaah Islamiah, was arrested earlier this year in Pakistan, foreign intelligence sources said. It is not clear if Pakistan stumbled on Patek or his capture was the result of a intelligence tip. Details about what he was doing in Pakistan also remain murky, raising questions about whether he was there to plan an attack with al-Qaeda’s top operational leaders as the 10-year anniversary of the September 11, 200l looms over the US. Patek, 40, is well-known to intelligence agencies across the world. He is believed to have served as the group’s deputy field commander in the nightclub bombings that left 202 people dead, including 88 Australians. The US was offering a $US1 million reward for the arrest of the slight Patek - who’s known as the “little Arab” - over the Bali attack. (March 30th 2011)

Police Seize 0.8 gram of Shabu from Ex-Presidents Great Grandchild The Jakarta Metropolitan Police seized 0.8 gram of crystal methamphetamine (shabu-shabu) from Putri Aryanti Haryowibowo, a great-grandchild of former president Soeharto, in a raid early Friday, a police spokesman said on Sunday. “The shabu-shabu seized from her weighs 0.8 gram,” Sr.Com. Anjan Pramuka Putra, director of drugs unit at the Jakarta police, said. He said Putri was arrested at Maharani hotel in Pancoran, South Jakarta, at the wee hours of Friday. Earlier, rumors had it that police seized tens of grams of shabu-shabu and hundreds of ecstasy pills from Putri and her syndicate. However, Anjan denied the rumors.

What was true was that the city police only seized around 30 grams of shabu-shabu from the drug syndicate following tip-offs from Putri, he said. Sandy Arifin, Putri`s lawyer, denied that his client possessed 0.8 grams of shabu-shabu arguing the contraband did not come from her. He said Putri was currently undergoing investigation. Also on Friday, police arrested three other people, one of them middleranking police officer, on charges of possessing the drug.

Indonesia is among the Asian countries being seriously threatened by drug smuggling syndicates. According to the National Narcotics Agency (BNN), there were 3.6 million drug users in Indonesia in 2008. (March 20th 2011) Police Seize Car Suspected of Carrying Explosives in Bali Police intercepted a silver Avanza car driven by EY from Magelang, Central Java, for allegedly carrying explosives while on Jalan Diponegoro, Denpasar, on Tuesday (22 / 3) at around 19:30 pm. Information from a number of officers stated that the arrests were made after police in Bali received information from police in Java, that there was a silver Avanza car allegedly carrying explosives to the island resort.

Police stopped the suspicious car when they noticed that the front license plate was different to the rear. The police found several packages wrapped in white plastic as well as tools to install high-voltage electrical cables. Police are still searching for three men that are associated with the driver of the vehicle, currently living somewhere in Denpasar. Moments earlier, the Bali Bomb Squad detonated an object suspected of containing explosives at Tukad Yeh Aya Street, Denpasar. The package wrapped in white plastic was thrown by a motorcyclist and was reported by local garage owner Made Joni. (March 23rd 2011) A Denpasar Child is the Latest in a Growing toll of Rabies Deaths on Bali A 6 year-old Denpasar girl is among the latest rabies victims on Bali. Nawal Indiani, died at Bali’s Sanglah General Hospital on Thursday, March 17, 2011. Doctor Ken Wirasandhi, a spokesman for the hospital rabies team (that says something in itself), told Kompas.com, “Two days before she was admitted, the patient experienced breathing difficulties and refused to eat.” The parents of the girl said their daughter had been bitten by a dog on her arm several months ago. The wound had not been cleaned properly and she had not received the anti-rabies vaccine that would have saved her. A neighbor who owned the dog had immediately destroyed it and therefore there was no chance to isolate and test the dog. Dr. Ken said people should not ignore any dog bite, saying that anyone bitten should use soap to clean the wound under running water for at least fifteen minutes. Thorough cleaning of any wound helps reduce the amount of virus absorbed into a victim’s system. After such cleaning, an anti-rabies vaccination must be administered as quickly as possible by the nearest hospital or medical centre. The anti-rabies vaccine is a course of three injections. This is to establish antibodies effectively able to ward off the rabies virus, so any visitors who start a course should arrange to have it continue when they move on or return home. (March 21st 2011)

Bali Open to Attacks: Governor Bali is still open to terrorist attack, but early detection has lessened the risk, says the island’s Governor, I Made Mangku Pastika. “You know the nature of terrorism - they want to send a message to the whole world that they still exist and still have powers. “So because Bali is still very famous as the most popular destination in the world, of course Bali is still vulnerable,” Mr. Pastika told The Australian on the eve of the regional summit. Bali’s Nusa Dua beach resort area became the focus of a major security operation yesterday as ministers and delegations from the 48 Bali Process countries and international organizations arrived for their fourth annual summit on people-smuggling, people-trafficking and related transnational crime. As the island’s police chief in October 2002, Mr. Pastika headed the investigation into the first Bali bombings by the Jemaah Islamiah terror network, in which 202 people were killed, including 88 Australians and 38 Indonesians. He was confident the two-day summit would pass without security scares. “We have early-detection and early-warning systems now working nationally and internationally, because terrorism has already moved across the boundaries of countries,” he said. “Indonesia’s national counter-terrorism effort is strongly focused on keeping Bali safe for international tourism, and especially for Bali we have very good, well-trained intelligence officers.” Mr. Pastika said Balinese police were co-operating with the Australian Federal Police on countering people-smuggling, and there had been a significant improvement in intelligence co-operation.

“We have an obligation to assist Australia with this area - we know they have a problem with illegal immigrants and this people-smuggling problem.” The Bali authorities had detected an increase in trafficking activity recently. On February 19, police intercepted a boatload of 52 Afghans and Iraqis off Kubu, on Bali’s northeast coast. They arrested the skipper and crewman. And last September, the anti-people-smuggling taskforce arrested 22 Afghans and Iranians onshore, in Kuta. (March 30th 2011) Power Plant Maintenance Leaves Bali In the Dark Bali will experience rolling blackouts for at least the next week as state utility provider Perusahaan Listrik Negara’s power plants undergo routine maintenance. Hotels and holiday makers on the resort island will see darker evenings while PLN tends to its gas-fired power plant in Gilimanuk and others. “PLN has stated that rolling blackouts will start on March 22 and will last until March 29,’’ said Dadan Koerniadipoera, general manager of PLN’s Bali branch. Bali could lose as much as 188 megawatts in electricity during the maintenance work. Among the affected power plants are the 130 MW station in Gilimanuk, a 40 MW gas-powered plant in Pesanggaran and others that PLN did not specify.

Dadan said the drop in output would result in a 37.5 MW power deficit during the evening, when electricity consumption in Bali is at its highest. In a bid to ease that deficit, PLN will apply rolling blackouts to hotels from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Dadan urged hotel owners to use diesel generators during the blackouts. He also asked individuals to help save electricity.

“By turning off 100 watts of electricity devices every day, even that can help,” he said. Ngurah Adnyana, PLN’s director of operations for Java and Bali, said the electricity provider had already coordinated with hotels over its plan to reduce power use. Patricia Muljadi, the public relations manager for the five-star Ayana Hotel and Spa, said PLN had sent a letter regarding the blackout plan. She said it would add to the hotel’s operational costs, “but we have not calculated the additional costs.” Perry Markus, secretary for the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) in Bali, said PLN’s plan for rolling blackouts was not executed well. “There should be information dissemination first, not just going ahead with it immediately like this,” he said, adding that the plan would heap extra costs on hotels and restaurants.

“Past experience has taught me that the blackouts usually occur longer than the scheduled time.” Frequent blackouts in recent years, which have been blamed on poor infrastructure, have caused airport delays, manufacturing shutdowns and generated intense pubic anger toward the state utility company.

VEGETABLE DREAMS

I try so hard to be a vegetarian.

Intellectually, I’m already there. I know all about the methane in cow burps, the amount of land it takes to grow a kilogram of hamburger and the benefits of an alkaline diet, to say nothing of the humanitarian issues. I’m pretty content, most of the time, with vegetable soup or an avocado sandwich.

Then someone throws a lamb chop on the grill and all my good intentions go up in savoury smoke. As for bacon, I am a shameless pushover. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

surface of the planet. If those resources were committed to growing vegetables, fruits and grains we could feed the world, and feed it well.

In North America, most beef, pork and chicken is produced in Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), which pack the creatures into such small areas that movement is impossible. They are fed specially formulated diets laced with hormones and antibiotics to force them to grow more quickly. Nearly 800 million people could live on all the heavily subsidized grain currently fed to US livestock each Then someone throws a lamb chop on the grill and all my good intentions year -- 70% of United States grain goes to feeding farm go up in savoury smoke animals.

I read somewhere that as a species we humans are hard-wired to salivate when we smell meat roasting. This probably dates to our days in the cave which, in terms of the time we’ve been wandering around on two feet, isn’t all that long ago. Before we learned to cultivate grain and sheep, we gathered what wild food was ripe and what wild animals we could catch.

That picture is not so grim in Bali, where the cows are grassfed in rural byres. But the local pork and chicken we eat is often raised on commercial feed laced with unmonitored growth hormones and heaven knows what else. Then there are the ethical issues of how these creatures are slaughtered…

Now we can be more selective. Common sense, health and good global management urge us to select a diet based on locally produced seasonal fruit, vegetables and grains.

Habit, availability and the irresistible smell of chicken satay on the grill lure us down other paths.

Until this generation, the Balinese didn’t eat much meat. My pembantu Wayan Manis grew up poor in Singakerta, a few minutes outside of Ubud. Her father had a small rice field, but every grain of the harvest was sold for badly needed cash.

Rice was a rare treat and even then was mixed with sweet I recently spent a week at a silent meditation retreat in Sri potato or corn to make it go further. Everyday fare was sweet Lanka. The two meals a day were vegan and bland. potatoes, greens from the fields, fruit from the garden, a bit On high holidays, the I remember eating my breakfast mush or boiled vegetables of tofu and the occasional egg. and thinking, “This is enough. We don’t really need more food neighbours would sometimes send over some meat from a than this to survive and thrive.” But the minute I got back to slaughtered pig. Except for the poorest, today’s Balinese Kandy I went straight to my favourite restaurant and expect to eat white rice three times a day and meat at least once, preferably fried in palm ordered a chicken curry.

Those of us of northern but oh, how we resist!

European extraction have a complex relationship with meat. It was an important part of Governor Pastika suggested recently that Fridays should be our ancestor’s diet, especially in winter. My parents, now in a day of abstinence from animal products on Bali. I think their 90s, still eat meat twice a day and consider vegetarian- that’s a great idea. In fact, for all the good reasons listed ism alarming and somewhat dangerous. We know better, above, I’m going to set a now.

Letters To Bali Advertiser Frozen in Bali.

Or anywhere else in Indonesia Are you a British expat that is receiving the UK state pension? (or will be in the future!)

Of course you will be well aware that the UK state pension you get was frozen when you moved to Indonesia to make your permanent home. (i.e. not resident in the UK).

Meaning that your state pension is now as it was when you made that permanent move. The annual increases in the pension are not passed on to you as they are to UK resident pensioners. The increases are also made to pensioners whom live in a E.U. country and some other countries.

I am sure that you will agree this is not fair. Just because you live in another country, why should you be discriminated against? No doubt you paid your National Insurance contributions for all of your working life in the UK. Possibly for 40 years or so. The government policy says equality for all. Where is the equality for pensioners that are on frozen pensions. The increase is to cover the cost of living increase? I think you will have noticed that the cost of living here has gone up as well as in the UK!!

The International Consortium of British Pensioners (ICBP) has been fighting to get this ridiculous situation corrected so that all pensioners are treated as equal. They went to the E.U. courts but lost their case and many comments have been made on the way the government replied to their case. They, the ICBP, are continuing the fight and branches in other countries such as Australia and Canada are active in this fight.

It has been suggested that I might be able to assist by finding out how many U.K. state pensioners are living in Indonesia. I hope that every British expat state pensioner (or getting close to pension age), affected by the frozen pension situation will send me an email with a little (non personal) information (A user name, email address, location in Indonesia, approximate date you started to receive the UK pension and the date you became “frozen”), that I can compile and pass on to the ICBP. Every little bit of “ammo” will be useful to the cause. It won’t take too much of your time so please help.

Please send to clida2000@yahoo.com I would ask you to “chat amongst yourselves” about this subject and I suggest you take a look at the following web sites. (there are many others!) www.pension-parity-uk.com www.britishpensions.com it is quoted that pensioners in the UK cost the government £8,000 a year. Frozen pensioners living abroad cost £1000 a year : frozen pensioners save the government £2.5bn a year. The government says it can’t afford to pay the increase, yet they are lowering the number of years required for full pension from 40 to 30 years contribution.

There are many people that have written on this subject and I would ask you to spare a couple of hours “researching” this subject and hopefully join the battle for equal rights on pensions. A quote from “The International Consortium of British Pensioners”.

There are between 11 and 12 Million UK Basic State Pensioners. 96% of them have their pensions indexed every year, whether they live in the UK, Europe, the USA or a few other favoured countries. The National Insurance Fund is currently in balance to the tune of over 41 Billion Pounds Sterling, as of 30 September 2010.

4 % have their pensions FROZEN, because they have retired in Countries where their Pensions are NOT indexed. At the hearing in the European Court of Human Rights in 2009 even the lawyers representing Britain agreed that the cost of rectifying this anomaly would be less than 1% of the annual National Insurance income.

So, please spare a bit of time to get involved and drop me an email.

Pathways to Healing the Body, Mind & Spirit

Ask & Receive

C/NV/I- 30 July 08

This year was the first time that I decided not to participate as media, but to follow my heart and do readings at the Dharma fair instead. When I finally received the confirmation that I was accepted as a reader at the Balispirit Festival, I felt at once excited and scared out of my mind! It was a big shift for me, but one that I knew was inevitable. My one year studying mediumship would finally be put to the ultimate test! I decided that the best tools for me to utilize were the Angel cards and the Runes, because I had a good connection with both of these mediums and trusted the information which usually came through clearly and easily.

feeling hopeful and with concrete tools that would further assist her with resolving her issue.

It has been interesting to watch my own transformation over these past nine years on Bali, as I find myself moving deeper into spiritual work and shedding the layers of my old worn out ideas and limiting beliefs. I have come to the understanding that I have been gifted with many tools which can potentially assist others with discovering their highest potential and living the joyful life they have always dreamed of.

I also began seeing a pattern in the people I was reading for. Most of them had limiting beliefs about themselves or about life which were holding them back. I felt intuitively that I needed to help as many people as possible shift these beliefs by utilizing a very simple system called: ‘Ask & Receive’, which was developed by Sandi Radomski and Tom Altaffer. This powerful system connects people with their higher consciousness which then informs their conscious mind to reprogram a limiting thought pattern or belief and replace it with a positive one. This is truly an amazing technique that I feel compelled to share with everyone, so that you can start making positive changes in your life today. Find the limiting belief or bad habit or whatever it is you’d like to change and repeat the following statement in the positive.

On the first day of the festival, my former mentor, David, came with me for moral support and to check out the energies. Due to my late arrival, I was given the last table at the back of the Dharma fair. Just as I was pondering on whether this would be a good spot for my readings, David seemed to read my mind and said, “This will be a great location for you. The energies are good here and you won’t get any interference from all the activities going on.”

He then suggested that I do a warm up reading with him which I happily agreed to. He pulled a few runes from my velvet pouch and I interpreted them for him, giving him important information on a personal matter which turned out to be exactly right. I was feeling more confident about my abilities and felt ready for the next person.

A lovely middle aged woman appeared asking for a reading.

I guided her on a short meditation, asking her to imagine connecting with the core of Mother Earth and bringing those energies up into her body, and then connecting with Father sky and bringing those energies down through her crown chakra, allowing the energies of Mother Earth and Father Sky to intermingle harmoniously within her solar plexus. This is a wonderful grounding and centering meditation that I like to use with my clients so that they can get into a clear and calm space for their reading or healing. I also find that this helps me to get a clear connection with my own guides, which I call into the space to ask for their assistance during each reading or healing session that I do.

The woman expressed that she was going through some very challenging times with the people she worked with, so she was seeking clarity on how to deal with the situation and find a peaceful resolution. Through the Runes and my direct channel with Spirit, we were able to discover that she needed to ask her allies for assistance and that eventually things would work out well for her.

It is always a blessing for me to be able to assist people with finding greater clarity and relief from a situation that is causing them to suffer. The woman departed the reading

On the second day, more people came to me for readings.

I assisted a young woman who was having difficulties with her relationship, by shifting some of her core limiting beliefs.

I gave another woman clear information about her life purpose, confirming that it was time for her to start living it now. As the days passed by, I realized that Spirit was always beside me, guiding me and giving me the words or images which were exactly right for the person I was reading for.

‘There’s a part of my being that already knows how to (lose weight, feel good about myself, earn a good living, etc.).

‘And that part of my being is willing to inform the rest of me now; it is doing so now with grace & ease. My mind, body and spirit are receiving this information. Information download is now complete.’

After saying this statement, you may experience a lightheaded sensation or feel a calmness come over you.

Afterward, start to become aware of how your thoughts or feelings have shifted in relationship to whatever limiting belief you have changed.

Letters To Bali Advertiser Love or Hate?

[a reply to Frustrated Guy from last edition] Dear Sir, DON’T YOU JUST LOVE IT THAT---Don’t you just love it that ---Even in weekends you can call technicians or working men who will fix your problems that same day?

Don’t you just love it that ---Although you probably will pay more than the locals, it still will be a fraction from what you would pay at home?

Don’t you just love it that ---When you buy some furniture, it will be delivered the same or next day in stead of after two-three months like at home?

Don’t you just love it that ---Even when you make a stupid mistake in traffic, everybody will still keep on smiling?

Don’t you just love it that ---You can drive or walk around half naked, or go into the supermarket in just your swimming-pants without having the locals beating you up, which in fact they should do, because you show no respect to them, nor to their culture?

Don’t you just love it that ---You can step in your car stone drunk and risk the lives of everybody, because there is no law against drunken driving?

Don’t you just love it that ---The locals are willing to struggle through a foreign language, just because you feel yourself too superior to learn the language of the country you’re living in?

Don’t you just love it that ---Almost everything here can be ‘fixed’ with a smile and a little money?

Don’t you just love it that ---Although there might sometimes be some minor disadvantages, living here is still far more pleasant and affordable than in most other countries?

Signed Jerry, a not frustrated guy.

In addition these owners have private use of their villa several months a year & positive cash flow. Acccording to PT. B.A.L.I. “with high valued foreign dollars they expect the largest increase in history the next few years”.
