By Ayu Spicy

Delicious International Dishes (Indonesian Language Version available at www.baliadvertiser.biz) I adapted this recipe from Maxine Clark’s “The Italian Country Table”.

I t ’s s i m p l e a n d delicious. Slowly cooking the onions draws out their natural sweetness while eliminating their bite. You can make this ahead and serve at room temperature or eat it still slightly warm with the aroma of the onions and wine beckoning the diners to table.

Fish with Sweet Onion Ribbons

Serves 3 -4

Ingredients for Fish: - 3 white fish filets, such as Dore (I buy these at Dijon) - 3 Tbl. flour - 2- 3 Tbl. olive oil - salt and pepper to taste Ingredients for the Sauce: - 2 - 3 Tbl. olive oil - 2 yellow onions, very thinly sliced - 3 bay leaves - 1/4 cup white wine or vegetable stock plus one tablespoon of lime juice - 2 Tbl. lime juice - 1/2 cangkir hot water if needed - salt and pepper to taste

Directions: In a wide frying pan heat 2 Tbl. olive oil. Add the sliced onions and bay leaves. Stir well to coat the onions and let simmer for 20 minutes over medium heat. Give it a stir from time to time adding more oil if needed.

Lower the heat and add the wine or stock, lime juice, salt and pepper and stir well. If the onions are too dry after 20 minutes add some hot water and cook a few minutes longer. You want these to be a bit saucy. Take off the heat and set aside.

C/Ns/G-10 July 13

While the onions are cooking sprinkle the fish fillets with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour until lightly coated.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a wide frying pan big enough to hold the fish in one layer. Fry the fish until browned on both sides, adding more olive oil as needed.

On a serving dish spread 1/2 the sautéed onions. Top these with the fish and sprinkle the remaining onions over the fish.

It’s best if left aside about half to one hour before eating but it can go for hours if you want to eat it at room temperature.

Note: You can make the onions a day ahead of time and re heat before adding to the fish.

Buon Appetito!

At Home in the Ubud Botanic Garden

by Bill Dalton

Craving a change from what Noel Coward characterized as Bali’s overabundance of cleverness and artistic endeavor, one recent afternoon we determined to escape to a thoroughly non-artistic Balinese environment. We took the narrow road opposite Oka Kartini Bungalows in Ubud, and drove just a few minutes north until we arrived at the joglo house entrance of Ubud’s very own botanical garden.

With its eclectic and whimsical layout, it appeared that every type of both local and exotic plant - from cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate, dragon fruit, herbs and medicinal plants to Heliconia, palms and ferns and enormous water lilies – were represented in this spacious leafy retreat, sourced from a string of 17,000 islands richer in plant species than either the South American or African tropics.

Due to its extreme geographic fragmentation, Indonesia’s plant species number more than 40,000, representing 10% of all plant species on earth. Botanists from all over the world pay a pilgrimage to the Indonesian archipelago to view its 250 species of bamboo, 350 species of dipterocarp trees, 150 species of palm, etc. Java alone has 5,000 plant species, and there are twice as many plants on Borneo as in all of Africa.

Sumatra is home to the world’s largest bloom, the one-meterwide rafflesia, and the insectivorous “corpse plant,” which smells like putrefying animal flesh in order to lure pollinating insects. The tall, hardwood rainforest trees of New Guinea rival the giant sequoias of California, an island which also possesses alpine moss and heath forests, the equivalent of South America’s cloud forests.

Because of the differences in altitude, rainfall, temperatures and humidity, Bali’s wide variety of plants blooms from month to month. The island’s unbelievable humidity, strong sunlight and fecund volcanic soil mean that when you build a fence, six months later it is no longer a fence. It is a living wall of vegetation.

In Bali’s abundant fertile areas flowers are rampant - hibiscus, jasmine, allamanda, frangipani, bougainvillea and lotus lilies one-half meter wide. Many plants that we assiduously and lovingly cultivate as pot plants in the West - poinsettia, dracaena, coleus, and begonias – grow in riotous profusion along the roadsides of Bali and have to be hacked back with machetes so as not to spill over onto the roads.

Renaissance Man Varying in elevation from between 320 and 400 meters above sea level, and covering more than 3 hectares, the Ubud Botanic Garden faces the village of Petulu on the other side of a ravine, the roosting site of the famous white egrets in the late afternoons. My first impression upon entering the gardens was that of wild abandon, but closer study I could see a wellmaintained order in all the wildness.

This privately owned park is spread out over the top of a ridge overlooking a neat n a t u r a l amphitheater and fountain, then cascades down into a spectacular gorge where paths wind in and out of original rainforest, bamboo and fern groves and other man-made plantings, crossing and recrossing the small river that meanders through the property.

Within its confines are a whole a range of microclimates: ravine, hillside, meadow, riverine, waterfalls and natural forest glades. Bird visitors include kingfishers, egrets and quails hiding in the tall stands of the alang-alang grass.

This extraordinarily lush natural setting is the brainchild of Stefan Reisner, a German national born in Berlin in 1942 during World War II. Reisner was at various periods in his life an essayist, a poet, the author of two novels and a playwright of children’s plays that are still being performed in Japan and

Brazil. He also dabbled in filmmaking, worked as career journalist for GEO and Stern magazines and served as a foreign news correspondent in Hong Kong for 12 years.

Reisen moved to Bali in 2005 where he became over time one of Ubud’s most well-liked and admired foreign residents. He operated a small hotel, the Puri Asri, a watering hole for artists.

After retiring from the hospitality business, Reisner came up with the idea of building a botanical garden when his partner Faizah Petani found a large piece of unused land just outside of Ubud, negotiating a contract for 30 years. The traditional teak joglo houses from the countryside of Faizah’s native East Java dot the property.

For the layout of his quiet sanctuary, Reisner was inspired by the works of Peter Joseph Lenné and Duke Pückler who created the Royal Gardens in Potsdam and Berlin. Similar to Pückler, Reisen nearly bankrupted himself because of his single-minded passion of creating a botanical park.

In February 2005 work began landscaping, excavating and c o l l e c t i n g thousands of plants from around Indonesia and Asia. The last 11 years of Reisen’s life were spent surrounded by the natural environment that he loved so dearly. In April 2012, after five years fighting cancer, Stefan Reisner succumbed to the disease and was buried in the Muslim cemetery in Denpasar.

A Partnership Made in Heaven In the restaurant, surrounded by wild orchids and looking out over the meditation courtyard of a banyan tree and stone carved Buddha statues, I met Ibu Faizah, Stefan’s wife. Like her husband, growing plants began as a hobby but eventually grew into an all-consuming obsession.

coffee and cocoa trees; Aloe Vera and numerous species of cactus; curtains of aerial fig tree roots and Citronella plants help control the mosquitoes. Specimens are labeled with Latin name, Indonesian name, description and distribution area.

The top tier, right after the entrance, is overwhelmingly devoted to over 100 species of orchids kept in greenhouses and open-air enclosures, reflecting Faizah’s particular fondness for this decorative plant that dates back to the age of the dinosaurs. In Indonesia there exist 4000 species of orchids, about half in Papua province. The luxurious vegetation of Borneo also hosts Indonesia’s most seductive orchids. On Bali, there are only two species of orchid, the Malleola baliensis and Calanthe baliensis. Most Balinese orchids flower from March until June.

Faizah now has a personal collection of 20,000 orchids, for the most part wild species obtained from the forests of Borneo that have been clear-cut to make way for palm oil plantations.

But with the pressure and anxiety building to breaking point, Faizah is afraid that she might have to sell off most of her orchid collection.

Faizah has already sold her contract for the land to Pak Hong, a local Indonesian businessman who will be establishing a villa complex around the small river valley. “I don’t want to rent anymore, so now I’m looking for a nice piece of land to start my own nursery. I’ve already started a small business distilling herbs and plants to sell as natural spa products.”

With plans to open “Aneh-Aneh Village” at the end of the year, construction is already underway on wooden bungalows for the new complex that will blend nicely with the existing landscape. “I’m thankful that the concept and spirit of the gardens will be kept alive,” Faizah told us.

Practicalities

During those early days of toil and hardship, Faizah and Reisen traveled to Bogor, Cipanas and Cikarang in the Puncak area of West Java in search of plants. Faizah lived for five years in a 3-meter X 3 meter storeroom. To save money, they made their own compost, fertilizer “tea” and natural pesticides. The river in the semi-swamp area (jurang) in the gorge flooded three times, wiping out all of their plants. When it flooded a fourth time, the plants were by then strong enough to survive.

The Ubud Botanic Garden is located in the village of Kutuh Kaja, tel. 0361-855-4890 and 082-341-976-799, email: info@ botanicgardenbali.com, website: www.botanicgardenbali.com.

Take Jl. Tirtha Tawar kitty corner from Oka Kartini’s Bungalows, and travel northwest 1.3 km until you reach the gardens on the right after the parking lot. Entrance is Rp50,000 for foreigners, Rp30,000 for domestic tourists and KITAS and KITAP visa holders.

After Reisner’s death, Faizah had to pay back all the expenses that had accumulated during the establishment of the gardens, as well as her husband’s debts and with some days receiving as few as 20 visitors, she struggled to maintain the gardens and pay the salaries for a staff of 19. To keep the business open, she cancelled her health insurance, borrowed money and used 12 credit cards in rotation at 3.5% monthly interest.

Take care walking on the slippery moss- and lichen covered concrete paths and wide steps, which meander up and down throughout the property. Bring anti-mosquito lotion or spray. To find your way to the various exhibits, take along a copy the photocopied map of the grounds on the counter in the front lobby. The best time to visit is springtime April-June when the gardens are bursting with color and its flowers are in full bloom.

Other times of the year the park can be just as attractive.

It was a partly cloudy day in late July when we visited, the sun shining intermittently through big cumulous clouds.

“Stefan put all his money into the gardens and nothing into savings,” Faizah told me. “His ongoing medical costs were very expensive. After he got sick, I changed his diet and we lived a healthier lifestyle. We avoided most animal products and ate only fish, beans, and lots of organic vegetables like asparagus. It was difficult to keep to that regimen but I loved him.

I made my own jamu recipe especially for him, which I believe prolonged his life. I blended herbs, ginger, white turmeric, zirzak leaf, manggis, carrots, garlic, lobak (white beets), beetroot, broccoli and carrots in a juicer, which he drank twice a day. The doctors only gave him six months to live, but he lived five years.”

Reisner’s lasting legacy is a site that makes a perfect counterpoint to Bali’s art-filled galleries and museums. The sanctuary’s botanic collection includes 10 Nepenthes or carnivorous pitcher plants from Borneo, Papua and Sumatra;

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid!

By Vaughan Hatch

Sorry can’t pay today, it’s Buda Cemeng Kelawu!

After living in Bali for 16 years, I was a little surprised to find a major tourism player who will not make financial transactions on ‘inauspicious’ days. Not only had I never come across this sort of moratorium on payments, but I didn’t expect superstitious financial practices in the global era. All of this intrigued me and I decided to find out more.

Instinctively I make a b-line for our Balinese saka calendar hanging on the kitchen wall. After pawing over this complicated piece of work that was put together by a reputed Balinese academic based on uncountable religious and celestial equations, I found that although there are indeed auspicious days for retailing, alas there were no specific warnings about financial transactions.

Next step was asking your ‘ordinary Balinese woman’ (who do most of the shopping and shop pretty much every day at the market) – my mother law. She has not only has shopped but also worked at the local market for decades. She also bases everything she does in life on what ‘the-powers-that-be’ proscribe. “It is indeed a day for the celebration of money, but the market is always open so it can’t be a problem,” she grinned.

Priests I asked said the same thing – and surprisingly one man of cloth even added, “What about the banks? Should they stop transactions on this day too?”

Visualize this on the screen of your ATM: ‘No transactions today, it’s Buda Cemeng Kelawu!’ I’m sure the tourists will be impressed.

I’ve found that from personal experience, we ‘not in the know bules’ all too often become the victims of sudden mysterious rules or edicts that we will never understand. Sometimes it can seem ‘all too convenient’ when someone can’t turn up to work for a ‘sudden ceremony’ or pay someone because the ‘vibes are not quite right’, but really we should all know better.

Hello GAL – he’s a 21st century Royal Prince, ya!

by Seamus McElroy Welcome, George Alexander Louis, third in line to the British throne, who came into the world on Monday 22 July at 4:24 in the afternoon. He weighed in at 8lbs 6oz or 3.8 kg, some ten days after his due date. The royal baby is to be called Prince George Alexander Louis (or His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, for short).

Commenting on his late arrival, William, or Wills to the British press, said “I will remind him of his tardiness when he’s older.”

Acknowledging the world’s press which has been camped outside the private Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, west London, for the whole twelve days, William added “I know how long you have all been standing here so, hopefully, the hospital and you guys can all go back to normal now . . and we can go and look after him.”

Kate, standing at his side, added, “It’s very emotional . . . and such a special time . . . I think any parent will know what this feeling feels like.” William added “It’s very special. He’s got her looks, thankfully.” Kate replied “No, no, no, I’m not sure about that.” “Well at least her lips,” Wills added.

Responding to another question about the baby, Wills said “Well, he’s got a good pair of lungs on him, that’s for sure. He’s a big boy, he’s quite heavy.”

The new Prince George is the first heir to the British throne born in the twenty first century – who might not ascend to take up his inheritance until late in this century – or even early in the 22 nd century - if recent Windsor royal family life lines have anything to do with it! The Queen just last year was celebrating her Golden Jubilee, being on the throne 60 years, and Charles, her first son, is not expecting Prince George outside Lindo wing of St Mary’s to take over from his Hospital Paddington mother any time soon.

Second in line is Charlie’s own first son, William, just 31, so George will almost certainly have quite a wait to get his turn.

A boy! His mom wanted a boy; his dad a girl! Perhaps because they are easier to love than a feisty, challenging boy!

The British monarchy, under Queen Elizabeth, has recently gotten her required 16 of 50 Commonwealth Heads of Government (HOG) to agree that the sex of her heir no longer matters. So many women libbers wanted – nay prayed for – a girl! Now they will have to wait another hundred years at least for another woman to ascend to the throne under this Windsor family rule. “Ah, shit” some young British women were reported to say on hearing the news it was a boy!

I suppose, for the queen, in her 61st year on the throne, which has certainly had its ups and downs – annus horribilis with the fire at Windsor Castle and multiple royal divorces – both her children – Margaret with Lord Snowden; more famously, Charles and Diana – and for Charles then to get his way by marrying a divorcee, Camilla Parker Bowles – is a public relations achievement that is truly sensational – given that the queen’s own father, King George VIi (1936 – 1952) only achieved being crowned king because of his older brother’s, Edward’s, abdication for his love of an American divorcee, Mrs Wallis Simpson.

This woman, Britain’s Queen, and Queen or Head of State for almost all of the 50 nations that make up the Commonwealth, “is not for turning!” a phrase famously spoken by Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s first and so far only female Prime Minister. The Queen has had a remarkably long reign, spanning two centuries, the 20th and 21st. She, through her ministers or members of her Parliament, the Mother of all Parliaments, has been able to get her own way when she has been really determined to do so.

secure Bucklebury, Berkshire estate – away from the prying eyes and telephoto lenses of the world’s paparazzi.

For, in the next 15 years, this is a boy who will be almost invisible to the public as his parents protect his childhood, his pubescence, his early wrong-doings. “It’s called growing up” they will pronounce, when he first gets drunk or indulges in other bad boy behaviour and the press, after a couple of days of punning and ridicule, will probably leave well alone – the history of the intrusiveness of the international press on this family’s life has just been too cruel – it is no longer tolerated by Britain’s tabloid newspapers after the tragic Princess Diana, who died sixteen years ago, death of Diana in Paris some on 31 August 1997, in a tunnel in Paris trying to give the ensuing papperazzi the miss. seventeen years ago.

The onus of the office of being heir will, nevertheless, be there for everyone to see.

“The nation expects!” Churchill famously proclaimed. Queen Elizabeth, being a child of Britain’s wartime Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, and cousin of Louis Mountbatten, the last Governor General of India, great uncle of Prince Charles, would certainly agree!

I pay tribute to Kate Middleton. She is a fashion icon, who is watched closely – her choice of clothes setting a fashion among many aspiring young women around the world.

She is true rare celebrity among women worldwide! Should be Britain’s first commoner queen one day, ahead of Will. Why not?

Now that would be breaking with tradition. She has more of the common touch than any frumpy Windsor could ever have. And is good to look at to boot!

Remarkably, the paparazzi have already scored an own goal – “Royal wave, I’ve cracked it mum” declared the front page of Britain’s third most widely read newspaper, the “Daily Mirror,” as their big headline the morning after day-old George had shown his fingers outside his knitted baby shawl!

Modern-day life in Britain means that this simple piece of history was instantly Googled to find its source – and hundreds of orders were instantly on their electronic journey – “have to have”, not a baby in sight of course – just being able to say you have such and such is enough for some – nay many - in today’s instant metoo, share everything, Facebook-cum-Twitter culture.

News editors were obviously totally bored with the proceedings so far! Normal male birth, first-born, always late. Will’s comment to the hordes of journos waiting outside was simply, “I will have to have words with him about his tardiness.”

Next morning every major and regional newspaper in Briton had brought out a Special Royal Birth Edition – including the Times of London!

“Wow!” my eight year old daughter says as we watch the couple emerge from the hospital! “This is history in the making.” Indeed!

Prince George will soon enough be Britain’s latest royal public servant, not for 24 hours, but for life!

I explain to her, “You have the same name, you know”. “How’s that?” she asks, looking completely mystified!

There will be a resurgence in Britain’s naming of their male children as George. You can be sure of that. Even Charles, his granddaddy’s name, remains in the top 30 The name of the new prince was announced two days of names for new after his birth. born males in the UK today. Such is the power of association with royalty. The media were already counting the benefit to the nation’s economy of this royal birth – estimated to add £350 million, to the nation’s GDP this year alone.

“Well, if it had been a girl, the name would be Georgina Alexandra Louise,” I say.

She counters – because she is already an avid 24 hours news aficionado, “But I have only two names so far, not three, and only one which is anything like his – Georgina.”

“Right on!” I reply This new king-in-the-making will not be burdened with a litany of names to satisfy hordes of in-laws. His parents are in charge, with some predictable safe names, while acknowledging the wishes of their famous grandparents and parents, of course. George, the tipsters’ favourite, was chosen in honour of the Queen’s own father, King George VI, known within the family as Bertie. Kate chose Alexander, leaving Wills to pick Louis, his father’s favourite uncle, which is also part of William’s own name li.

For George’s parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, they have given him their own royal moniker, thereby dispensing with the name of Windsorii. Both of them want normal children – not kids who “expect.”

Charles was so much a part of the royal system of his upbringing that he had a butler serve him up with toothpaste on his toothbrush every morning when he was a boy rather than do it himself. His kids, Will and Harry, are the children of their mother, Diana; practical, charismatic, leaders in things that are important in the Britain of today – not politics – but poverty, injustice, AIDs, lending a helping hand to people, their subjects, who make a mess of their own lives!

The role of a modern-day prince may be to fight in Britain’s armed forces, when young, but as king, it is to be the country’s ambassador in chief – to show compassion and humour.

So GAL, for short, was an instant international success on his first appearance – 27 hours after his birth, with some 250 of the world’s news reporters from over 100 countries covering this story for their avid British Royal Family readers. It was the biggest news story in the United States and Australia for two whole days – first the pre-birth waiting, next the waiting for the first sight of this new born child.

Prince Harry, Wills’ younger brother by 2 years, simply said “I will make sure he has fun growing up.”

But the Queen had the best comment. “Delighted”, on the news.

She had said earlier in the week “I hope the baby comes before my annual holiday to Balmoral“, and so he did.

Granddaddy, Prince Charles, was similarly “delighted.”

Not a word I would associate with a birth – but an unexpected present on a forgotten anniversary, perhaps!

How different we all are!! i

This young boy, Will’s and Kate’s first born and only son so far, will be known simply as HRH Prince George of Cambridge, and for those people who get to know him closely he will be simply known as George, G, hella-of-a-fella, whatever!

So what of George’s future?

But Prince George, most certainly not! Who uses titles and who gets to keep their parent’s given name unadorned – he will have to have a nick-name.

The day after his birth, he was driven by his dad, with his mom beside him in the rear of a black Range Rover, to Kensington Palace for his first night at home. The next day, he was whisked away to Kate’s parents’ home to spend the next six weeks with the Middleton’s in their newly-acquired £5 million secluded and

Proof. Wills and Harry! Wills is short for William, which is the most popular name for a first born male in the UK this July 2013. Or Harry! Short for Harold. This is an ancient royal family name, which conjures up many noble images among the British public who know their history . . .

Famously portrayed by Colin Firth in the 2011 multiple Oscar winning film “The King’s Speech.”

William Arthur Philip Louis Britain’s royals actually don’t have surnames. The choices Wills and Kate had though for their son, the third in line to the British monarchy was Windsor, Mountbatten-Windsor, Wales or Cambridge. Interestingly, upon accession, like a Pope, he can choose his own name to be known by as King of Britain and Head of State of many countries which are former colonies, known today simply as the Commonwealth.

fast as possible during the rainy season; make it is light enough for two men to carry; make sure that a clump would send up new shoots each year for decades so that you wouldn’t have to plant more and the person who’s land it was growing on wouldn’t cut it down because he could keep selling each year’s crop for a relatively steady income.

Finally, make the timber grow in a culture where there were skilled craftsmen living light on the land and working with low impact tools.

Are there any downsides with working with bamboo?

Sometimes I dream of plywood and sheetrock! It would be so much easier to make walls and floors with big flat surfaces, but I can’t get cozy with the thought of the rainforest being chopped down, sucked out and spread all over the surface of the world. We must take on the challenge of finding a better way!

It seems that the Balinese no longer use bamboo extensively for building. What do they use it for?

As a matter of fact I counted about six new bamboo restaurants on Monkey Forest Road last week, so it looks to me like some people are taking bamboo construction up again! Now that we have a natural treatment to permanently protect it from bugs, bamboo makes a lot more sense for long-term structures. One of my workers just rebuilt his ‘bale daja’ in his family compound out of bamboo in a super cool vintage style. Balinese homes were traditionally built out of wood and bamboo, and the cremation towers and ogoh ogoh often still are.

Is it expensive to build a bamboo house?

Elora Hardy was part of the first wave of expat kids growing up in Ubud in the 1980s. Her creative parents would drop the little girl off with friendly craftsmen in various villages where she learned how to carve, paint and batik all sorts of things, but mostly fairy princesses and dragons. In 1994 at the age of 14, Elora went off to a boarding school for the arts in California, then earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Tufts University in 2004. Moving to Manhattan in 2005, the young woman talked her way into a job as a designer working for Donna Karan in the weird and wonderful world of fashion. After 5 years painting on fabric in New York City she returned to Bali in 2010 to join a team of gifted artisans and home designers at PT Bamboo Pure who were building Green School. Elora her own design brand, Ibuku (ibuku. com).

When did you first come to Indonesia and why?

I grew up in Bali because my parents came here on a trip around the word and stayed. It was 1975. At first they thought Bali was too crowded, but then they fell in love with it. When my mom was in Nepal she saw a woman trekking with her toddler and realized she could have kids and still have fun, so then they had me.

How did you become interested in bamboo and its uses?

When I saw what my dad and the team were building at Green School, I realized that bamboo is one thing we aren’t at risk of running out of, and what a cool challenge it would be to make big buildings out of grass.

Why does bamboo make a suitable building material?

Bamboo is bountiful, beautiful and as strong as steel by weight. It’s lightweight and easy to handle, versatile as your imagination and the work is as high quality as your skill.

It’s also flexible. Bamboo dances in earthquakes, while other rigid structures crack. Though a bamboo house is as flammable as a wooden house, it has fewer walls so it’s easy to escape!

The material costs less than a conventional structure does, but the time required for the design and craftsmanship of a bamboo house is far longer, so it balances out. Clients who seek us out now want innovative luxurious structures more and more. But it’s also becoming more affordable to build simple structures, so we hope to inspire people to use it in this way and change bamboo’s reputation while we are at it.

What bamboo project are you currently involved in?

Green School is growing: a new music room, playground, kitchen, stage and a beehive dorm for Green Camp. A luxurious private home underway in Sayan. The towers of Three Mountain are rising on Serangan Island for APEC, visible from water, toll road and sky. A traditional Sumbanese house and a beautiful open-kitchen restaurant called Dapoer in Bambu Indah.

What are the most enjoyable aspects of your job?

I love seeing the bones of the house go up, and then the roof and walls start to fill in. That’s when I spend the most time on-site, planning the flow of the rooms, shapes of the doors and curves of the walls in a way that isn’t possible to completely figure out in advance. I love turning a structure into a cozy home, right down to the towels and kettles and flowers if the owners let me!

Where can I find more information about constructing with bamboo?

Why is building with bamboo environmentally friendly?

If you had to invent the ultimate sustainable timber you would make sure it could grow wild across a large part of the world without having to be watered or sprayed or cultivated by people; that each pole could grow strong as

MONEY MATTERS

by Colin Bloodworth

TAKE PREDICTIONS WITH A PINCH OF SALT Based on an interpretation of the ancient Mayan calendar many were convinced the world would end on 21 December 2012. It didn’t happen. Harold Camping predicted the end of the world several times over and through his radio station attracted a large following and perhaps a lot of money but no-one listens to him now.

Over time, innumerable religious cults have predicted the same but have had to come up with excuses when nothing happened.

Are financial predictions any better?

The world is full of experts who can tell you where to invest to make your fortune, especially experts selling newsletters or services with whom you must part a little money before learning their secrets. There are also plenty of well-meaning experts who will tell you what is going to happen based on past experience and current events. The problem is that no-one really knows what is going to happen until it actually does. Financial markets tend to be full of surprises.

Take the price of gold. For almost a quarter of a century it languished at around US$300 to $400 an ounce until 2003. No-one predicted it would rocket to over $1,800 an ounce over the course of the next decade. Much of the later surge came as a result of the debasing of the US Dollar and other currencies as a result of quantative easing, effectively the printing of money. Since this practice was expected to continue, as indeed has been the case, the pundits were expecting the price of gold to continue to rise beyond the $2,000 level during the course of 2013. Instead, it tumbled below $1,300 an ounce although it has made a slight recovery since. Why did this happen? One reason was increased confidence in the US economy which resulted in a surge in the US stock markets in the early months of the year. When interest rates are high or stocks are doing well people can make money. Gold on the other hand earns no interest and creates no wealth. It is still however the asset of choice in troubled times.

So where will the price of gold go from here? Who knows!

However, I would always consider a small holding in gold in one form or another to be an important part of a larger investment portfolio, if only for the sake of diversification and its value as an insurance against market turmoil.

15

portfolio you should be in positive territory as it would be more heavily weighted towards the major markets.

What about property?

This is another area where everyone is wise after the event. Property booms are like large ocean-going vessels.

They have huge momentum and are very hard to stop when they are going full steam ahead. When they suddenly hit the rocks however it is panic stations all round. And the damage can last for years. We are still seeing today the result of the property boom and bust in parts of the US and Europe. In Ireland they are even demolishing whole new estates which have become a health and safety hazard.

Much of the problem can be laid at the door of easy loans.

People have no qualms about getting into debt if they think they are on to a good thing and banks are only too eager to part with other customers’ money! In Jakarta right now we are seeing a huge expansion in apartment units, fuelled to a degree by easy finance and a widely accepted expectation that prices will keep rising. Yet people don’t seem to be actually living in them. For many they represent an alternative asset to cash in the bank, perhaps for good reason.

Bali is a different story in that properties are generally occupied by their owners or rented out. Here too, we have seen land and property prices surging over the past few years. They are not fuelled by easy loans but there seems no shortage of cash pouring in from many directions.

Will these booms continue? Most people think so; perhaps that is why we should be concerned.

So what and whom should we believe?

The bottom line is that we cannot afford to ignore predictions; some after all come true. But neither should we readily accept that they will be correct. Where financial planning is concerned we should take note of what the experts say but at the same time structure our investments so that we are not badly affected if the outcome is not as predicted. This means taking a longer term view, not overreacting to events and ensuring we have a wellbalanced and diversified basket of assets which should be frequently reviewed and adjusted with care.

C/BT/G-09 Jan. 13

Stock markets – time for bulls or bears?

At the end of every year most financial institutions come out with their predictions for the coming year. They have no choice really as investors like to know where they should be putting their money. The reasoning behind their predictions is invariably sound and their thoughts should be taken into account. However, the markets can be frustratingly unpredictable. This year emerging markets were expected to offer better prospects that western ones because their growth rates were still strong whilst growth in the west was stagnant. Yet it has been the western markets that have outperformed whilst most emerging markets have fallen in value. China still enjoys a high rate of growth, yet its stock market has plummeted.

So if you put all your money into gold and emerging markets at the end of last year you could be down significantly now, perhaps 20% or more. On the other hand, had you invested in the US and Japan you would be looking at healthy returns right now. If you have a balanced

So where will you make the most money or risk losing the most money if you want to invest right now? I can suggest but would not wish to predict!

This weekend at Sanur Beach Hotel,8th Edition of HOTAIR! All welcome

And so it proved to be as Udayana cruised to 1 for 68 after 10 of their allotted overs to add another trophy to their trophy cabinet. Once again Suda Arsa and Kadek Gamantika featured in a big partnership; this time with an unfinished 58.

The Twenty/20 Competition has seen Hatten Tigers get off to a great start with victories over Udayana and XP Tridatu and they are the early leaders. Round 2 matches featured a huge win to the leaders with Putra Darawan and Frengky Shony putting on an opening partnership of over 200 and Sanur getting their season underway with a big victory over Udayana.

CRICKET NEWS Hattens Wines Bali Cricket League The final of the Super 8s Competition was played on Sunday 7th July between the two top teams Hatten Tigers and Udayana who had finished on top of the ladder with equal points at the end of the scheduled roster matches.

Hatten Tigers won the toss and had no hesitation in batting first but before long their score had slipped to 4 for 51 with all their best batsmen back in the pavilion. They never recovered and were bowled out for 66 in 13 overs. This did not seem anywhere near enough as Udayana had consistently scored a lot more than this during the roster matches.

SCORES: Super 8s Final Udayana - 1/68 (Suda Arsa 29 no, Kadek Gamantika 26 no, Urip Astawa 1/23) defeated Hatten Tigers – 7/66 (Putra Darmawan 21, Komang Suwendra 3/10, Wira Adnyana 2/21) Twenty/20 Hatten Tigers 6/109 (Urip Astawa 40, Soni Hawoe 22, Wira Adnyana 3/24, Kadek Gamantika 3/26 ) defeated Udayana 5/96 (Wayan Budiartha 40, Kadek Suardika 3/18) Sanur 5/88 (Ravi 33, Ahmad Zhabir 17, Imanuel Wadu 1/5, Agung Kusama 1/7) defeated Udayana 84 (Kadek Gamantika 16, Wayan Agus 14 no, Ahmad Mushtaq 3/11, Ravi 2/2) Hatten Tigers 1/224 (Putra Darmawan 112 no, Frengky Shony 63, Mardika 1/40 defeated XP Tridatu 9/60 (Oka 17, Yoko 11, Soni Hawoe 2/8, Wayan Sariana 2/15)

Restaurant Review

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

In a Water Garden I despair at the standard Bali International menu which I often refer to as a ‘tourist’ one, even though I k n o w h o w necessary it is.

Most tourists, whilst they may stray once or twice, prefer food just like home. Of course what is served in many local restaurants may sound like ‘at home’ but not resemble it in looks or taste, and that is the saddest part.

However the Watergarden Kafe at Candi Dasa provides a nice balance and a big thanks to the thoughtful management who were virtually the first in Bali to signify all nut-free and gluten-free items in their menu, a constant problem for Bali tourists with dietary problems. As of today only a handful of restaurants in the south bother to conform by supplying this essential requirement!

I often order the simplest dishes when visiting restaurants, items found on many other menus. For me that is where the kitchen’s attention to detail is best examined. The appetisers at Water Garden Kafe set the scene for a pleasant meal, but then they have been leading the way in Candi Dasa for many years. They include a simple Spanish Beef Salpicao, beef strips sauteed with garlic and shallots, the Thai Fish Cakes are not the Thai Tod Man Pla with their rubbery consistency but rather patties of minced fish nicely spiced. The accompanying sweet ginger and cucumber relish is perfect and very Thai. The Samosas are triangles of a very light pastry wrapped around curried vegetables, a trace of Madras, served with fruit chutney. To this add Indonesian favourites; Bergedel Jagung [spicy corn fritters], Lombok’s Plecing Kangkung [blanched water spinach seasoned with chili, tomato, garlic & shallots] and the very popular vegetarian Spring Rolls, these ones light and crisp.

For the International set there are Italian Bruschettas [fresh tomato, basil, garlic, olive oil dressing], Mexican Nachos [beef or a vegetarian version], from the USA Potato Skins [with 2 dips], Chicken Nuggets [certainly not from KFC, these are with a sweet chilli sauce] and that all time favourite, Shrimp Cocktail with its tangy cocktail sauce.

Soups can be Indonesian, Soto Madura, vermicelli noodles, hard-boiled egg, chilli and vegetables in a rich chicken soup, a variation on the Thai soup in Bali considered International

as it is on just about every menu because of its popularity, Tom Yum Goong…at Watergarden instead they offer Tom Yum Pla with mahi-mahi instead of prawns, and from Java Sayur Asem a well spiced vegetable soup.

I love snacking and there a few here which I will find it difficult not to re-try. What can be easier than the standard Fish and Chips, or the more exotic Potato Royale [mashed potato with bacon, melted cheese, jalapeno pepper, accompanied with a black pepper béarnaise sauce]. For the homesick Aussie or English there are real Meat Pies, either beef or chicken. There is the standard Ham & Cheese [mozzarella] toasted sandwich as well as Hot Dogs, Burgers, etc. For the Vegetarian [there are many options throughout the menu] a 3 decker Vegetarian Club Sandwich that includes vegetarian sausage. From the pizza oven at front, thin and crispy with any toppings you want.

Asian mains include a Vietnamese Tom Ngon, pan-seared prawns stuffed with garlic, lemon grass & chilli or a Malaysian style Laksa, a rich & spicy coconut broth with prawns, fish dumplings, fresh bean sprouts & noodles. From India a Tikka Masala, chicken fillet, chili, tomato puree, curry masala with yoghurt. From Japan Tori Teriyaki, roasted chicken marinated in soy sauce & sherry, served with rice & teriyaki sauce. A touch of Thai with Kaeng Phed Nuer, a beef stew spiced up with red chilli & rounded in flavour with coconut milk.

An excellent Pork Schnitzel and a pork version of Steak Diane, pan seared tenderloin served with spring potatoes, chayote vegetables, buttered carrots, with a pepper reduction of Worcestershire, parsley & butter sauce.

The Vegetarian menu gets a lot of attention at Watergarden and the choice is quite extensive but I like the 3 Bean Chilli dish [for those who want a bit of spice with their veggies] black and kidney beans with chickpeas are served in a thick chilli tomato sauce.

Being seaside, many fresh seafood options are available such as a local dish of Crisp Prawns [pictured]. There are also an interesting variety of other Indonesian dishes including many local specials of East Bali.

Candi Dasa is really growing up! To imagine this variety of cuisine at this standard and low price being available in Candi Dasa says it all.

Restaurant & Nightlife

07 August - 21 August, 2013

Update Heliconia was a surprise. It is a new quality restaurant for Lovina. An amazing transformation has taken place at the old Mas Lovina [now re-branded as The Lovina], modern apartments and suites, all on a long impressive beachfront. Behind is their two level Heliconia restaurant. The upstairs wooden floored level has panoramic views and a menu to tempt the taste buds. They have different menus for lunch and dinner but with a few common items. A refreshing Watermelon and Tomato Salad with cucumber, red onion, chilli, mint and an olive oil dressing, or an Asian style Grilled Chicken Salad with toasted almond, baby spinach, bell pepper confit, coriander and crisp wonton. An unusual soup [for Lovina] is their Mushroom Cappuccino. There is also a Ginger and Pumpkin Soup with coriander and chilli crouton. A Madras Seafood Curry comes with all the trimmings, and if you want noodles choose between Thai [with prawns and tamarind] and Singaporean, rice noodles with chicken and oyster sauce. For lunch there are sandwiches, burgers, wraps, pasta dishes and a full range of pizzas from the wood-fired oven. For dinner add a Salmon Pancake for an interesting starter and Herb-crusted Mahi-Mahi [pictured] for a fresh local main, or the Mahi-Mahi can be wrapped in banana leaf with local spices and oven baked.

As well as this extensive menu there are interesting daily specials, all guaranteed to tempt the taste buds. The staid old Lovina is finally growing up! First the Spice Beach Club opened earlier in the year and now Heliconia at The Lovina.

Cuca has opened in Jimbaran on Jln. Yoga Perkanthi [in front of the Kayumanis Hotel].

It is an adventurous project presenting exotic tapas so different from those on other Bali menus. Chilled Watermelon Salad with calamari, pink radish, pandawa seaweed, sesame and cilantro, Honeyed Baked Pumpkin Salad with yoghurt, wing beans, toasted muesli and tarragon, Smoked Sablefish with beetroot yoghurt, avocado and herbs, Roasted Tiger Prawns with sweet and sour eggplant, red chilli, Crispy Fried Chicken with honey, coleslaw, sesame dust and lemon basil, BBQ Octopus with Asian gazpacho, fresh apple, caramelized cauliflower and coriander, or Marinated Pulled Pork with soft boiled egg, cinnamon raisin jam and charred spring onions. If that does not tempt your taste bids then stick to McDonalds. But as they say on those grating TV commercials…but that is not all! They also offer Chichas [fire cooked meats, Spanish style], Cinnamon Smoked Wagyu Beef with shaved cabbage, zucchini and parsley, Seafood with tangerine, pandawa seaweed, young ginger and basil, Pork with apple, cashew, cauliflower and peppermint. Then there are Ceviches and ‘Puddles’, worth a visit just to discover all of these new exotic tastes!

WOW! Bread Basket Bakery & Café is a welcome addition to the Sanur options. An European bakery on Jln. Danau Tamblingan combines with a pleasant small café. Healthy breads [rye, brown, wheat and pretzels], and cakes. Perfect sandwiches made to order inside the café as you can be certain that the bread is always fresh. Strangely closed on Sundays, the world’s No.1 day for the café society!

La Mexicana was once Café Lemongrass a Thai restaurant that did not take off, now it is Mexican after a major renovation. It is found on Jln. Raya Canggu in Anyar Kerobokan on the main link road to Tanah Lot, a large off-road parking area at front. Out back is a cactus garden, by candlelight at night you will think you are dining in the desert! All the usual things are on the menu; tacos [surprisingly served soft], fajitas, quesadillas, burritos, enchiladas and all. The Plato Grande gives you a bit of everything, what the Americans called a Combo. La Mexicana is proving far more popular than its predecessor. In the rather surprising current new wave of Mexican restaurants in Bali [there seems to be a new one almost every week!] this one is at least a little bit different.

Harmony is the latest new warung [and holiday cottages] along what is known as the Amed strip in Bali’s north east, this one is found at Bunutan. A garden site, they even grow their own herbs organically. Their specialty is local seafood, the Pesan be Mahi-Mahi [mahi-mahi fillet wrapped in banana leaves with local spices and grilled] is at the top of their list. Start with a Prawn Sate, Fish Soup flavoured with lime, or a Chinese style Crab and Sweet Corn. The Fried Noodles are special here, combined with mixed seafood, lemongrass and Bali basil simmered in coconut milk. Finish with traditional Black Rice or Dadar coconut rolls. They even have a Kids Menu with smaller portions of the things that they like. Harmony has the same management as the popular Only You villas so they really know what they are doing.

Beer Barley is unusual. On The ByPass Ngurah Rai, Sanur, it is a large area with big parking and a terrace lined with bench tables as if expecting bus loads of guests. Inside is a smaller air-conditioned area and long bar. A beer house it definitely is as they offer 24 different beers, local and international, ranging from Rp. 26-155,000 per bottle. The very limited food menu, without much imagination, shows the place to be a definite local operation; fried chicken wings, chicken livers and wontons, nasi and mie gorengs. Unusual is the offered combo of French Fries with melted cheese! Sandwiches?... only steak, tuna or cheese?

Dabumito is a small warung associated with the Dabumito House on Jln. Tegal Sari, Berewa, between Kerobokan and Canggu. It advertises itself as a Mexican restaurant and it does have two pages of Tex-Mex dishes amongst its 10 page menu, although most dishes are Indonesian or common international ones [good old Gordon Blue and a less common Chicken Kiev]. They have Tacos, Enchiladas and Burritos and some mixed combo plates plus a pan-fried Chicken Breast served with onion, avocado, red and green peppers and cheddar cheese. A friendly little café with wi-fi [as almost everyone has these days].

Freecycle Gardening

Gardening can become a costly hobby when you take into account the costs of buying plants and all the associated accessories and equipment that go into making an artistic green space. But it doesn’t have to be such a costly exercise, especially if you use your creativity and re-use materials and objects that would otherwise considered as rubbish or junk. The idea of recycling common throw away objects as items for the garden is becoming increasingly popular, especially with concerns about global warming, and sustainable use of materials. The concept is commonly referred to ‘freecycling’ which is the idea that not only are you recycling but you are also producing a new product for free from old junk. At one end of the spectrum it is a way of saving money, though at the other end with considered thought you can turn your rubbish into magnificent works of garden art.

The garden is a great place to recycle and reuse, and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Recycle and reuse all sorts of things from plants to old containers, garden furniture, even chunks of old concrete. Often these things can be found thrown away by the side of the road.

The simplest most obvious place to start freecycling is by making a compost heap from an old bin, then you will have nutrient rich soil often much better than you can buy from the shop. Another simple thing that you can do is progress to growing your own plants from cuttings that come from yours and your friends gardens.

Shallow cardboard boxes and cut out plastic drink containers are some other free seed raisers you can save from landfill.

The free watering can is one of my favorite ideas and I encourage people to make their own garden tools and materials wherever possible. A plastic drink container from 1.25 – 4 litres makes a useful watering can. They are especially good for seed raising and small plants and you can control the size of the water stream by the amount and size of the holes that you punch through when making it.

Here’s how you do it. Take the lid off the container and simply punch some small holes through it with a skewer or nail. Fill up the container with water, screw the lid on and simply turn it upside down and you have a mini shower for your plants. These watering containers are particularly useful, as the standard watering can is usually quite large at 7-9 litres. With these small containers you can easily have it in the kitchen cupboard ready to water your indoor plants at your convenience. If you have small succulents or other plants in small pots, making a small watering can out of a 500ml plastic bottle can be extremely useful. It is small enough to keep on the kitchen window sill and it is a much better option for watering small plants and seedlings, as the pressure and size of the water droplets from a standard watering can often flatten and damage small plants. These homemade watering cans are particularly suitable for children to use as they are lightweight and can be painted or decorated with their name or own design. It also encourages kids to do the watering for you and nurture their own plants!

These ideas are based more on frugality and functionality, but the really fun bit is when you move on to freecycling other materials into functional art. Look around to see what you can find that could have a new life in your garden, indulge your creative streak and keep these things out of the landfill. Finding the perfect container for your garden is only limited by your

imagination. Virtually any container can be used to plant in provided that it has adequate drainage or seepage holes. Cheap creative ideas for containers include tin cans, plastic bottles with the tops cut off, old drawers, baskets, colanders, old boots, ice-cream tubs, and polystyrene boxes.

The key to freecycling success in your garden is to create something that looks creative rather than just resembling a load of junk. If you don’t have an artistic eye but are good at collecting junk here are a few tips. Containers of all types can be used.

Reuse large metal olive oil containers as pots. Simply punch some holes in the base for drainage then remove the top. Fill the container with soil and plant in some marigolds, basil, cherry tomatoes or whatever flowers and herbs that you prefer. If you come across some old tyres use them to create pots, you can stack them one on top of another to create a raised garden bed.

Old rusty metal wheel barrows are particularly becoming a fashion in the garden, usually good for making a flower or herb garden, simply drill or punch in some drainage holes, pour in the soil and add your plants. Old bathtubs, kitchen sinks, buckets or even an old baby bath can be used in much the same way. Old upturned light fittings are also readily recycled as pots, or mounted on a pole you will give you a unique bird-bath.

Old window frames or mirrors can be strategically placed throughout the garden or even hung from trees as striking garden ornaments. You can also use old window frames as a trellis to grow vines or fruits and vegetables on. Even items from the kitchen could be used. An old colander can be used as a hanging basket, ready to go with drainage holes already provided. Old shoes or boots can also be filled with soil and used to grow a colorful arrangement of flowers placed by the front door, or outside amongst the garden.

If in doubt, paint it. Making your bits of junk all one colour is a good way to turn a mismatched assembly of junk into a designer collection. It works for pots, furniture and even structures. When you think paint, you don’t have to use just colour, you can create smooth shiny finishes with metallic paint or textured paints can be used that allow you to create a rough stone finish.Even the most seemingly useless pieces of junk such as broken chunks of concrete, bricks, tiles and stone can be reused as paving, borders, garden features or even stepping stones. Broken plates and tiles can be used to create a mosaic or feature on garden paths or walls.

Nothing beats the satisfaction of creating something from nothing, it can become quite addictive. Freecycling a seemingly worthless item into a valuable piece of garden art is incredibly rewarding, benefiting you, your hip pocket, your inner creative genius and the environment! The only limit to what you can achieve is your imagination.

The Business Builder Series

Graeme Stevens

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

Evaluation: Simple and Sticky Our Happy Heidi wants simplicity. The three things Heidi appreciates in her evaluation process are: 1. How easy it is to gather information about your product or service.

2. How much trust she can place in the information you provide.

3. How easy it is to evaluate the options you provide.

If these three tasks are easy for Heidi, then compared with your competitors who make things difficult: • She is 86% more likely to buy from you.

• She is more likely to repurchase from you, by around 10%.

• She is more likely (by 115%) to recommend you to others.

As I keep saying, you only have to do the right things, consistently, to walk all over your competition. If you want Heidi to stick with you during and after the evaluation process, then keep it simple.

Conversion Rates The perfect ratio of site enquiries to sales is of course 100%. In the real world this is unrealistic, so what should you aim for? Is your conversion rate from landing page through pricing page to sign up page better than 30%? Is the abandonment rate of your online shopping cart less than 67% (the average over 22 studies)? If either of these cases is true for your business then you are already ahead of the average.

Similarly with retail shops; is your conversion rate of people coming into your shop to sales better than 33%?

How can you measure conversion rates? For websites there are web analytics tools such as ClickTale, Adobe SiteCatalyst, Webtrends, Google Analytics, and KISSmetrics. For retail shops there are automatic visitor counters or staff manual counts that you can use to compare with your invoices.

Gathering information The trick here is to minimise the number of information sources Heidi has to ‘touch’ to get the information she needs. And this means you need to understand as early as possible what her immediate information needs are. If Heidi has already made up her mind and what she wants then don’t get in her way with unnecessary steps and information. Put the BUY! button at the head of the page as well as the bottom. Clear the path to the cash register! Can you imagine Heidi coming into a shop knowing she wants a specific item only to have you or your sales rep give her a long spiel on the relative merits of this item versus that? That’s what many web sites do.

How well can you find out what stage Heidi is at in her evaluation process? Is she at the beginning, looking what’s available in a luxury designer bag? Or is she already comparing Chloe with Valentino? In the shop content, it’s easy; just ask how you can help her. On a website, it’s often a case of different landing pages you point her at depending on the search criteria used. Or it could be the platform Heidi is using. Research shows, for example, that 70% of those using a mobile device to search are within a few hours of making a purchase, whereas 70% of those using a desktop are roughly a week away. Your website analytics can tell you that.

Sending Offers Why did I just get an email that included an offer of a new nail treatment? I’m a guy! This email didn’t make me feel appreciated. It certainly showed the marketer doesn’t know me and doesn’t understand my needs. It doesn’t take a lot of work to optimise your email list to distinguish gender and it’s just plain lazy not to set up your email blasts appropriately. In fact you are far better off sending just one offer per email than six or seven. If you eliminate these annoying emails, Grumpy Graeme is much less likely to immediately bin the next one he gets from you. So work to gather as much

Trust is not so much about trusting your brand, it’s about how well Heidi can trust the information you provide.

That’s one of the reasons Happy Heidi will listen more to her friends than to you – she knows how much weight she can put on their opinions and experience. If you are showing customer reviews then you need to go a step ahead – provide the adviser’s decision criteria and their use of the product or service. So encourage a group of trustworthy advisors, a step ahead of general recommenders if you can.

Weighing Options This is the final step in the evaluation process. Heidi will really, really appreciate your making this step really simple for her. Really.

Rule 1 – Too many choices to evaluate does not make a Happy Heidi. Don’t overwhelm her with choice. Too many choices mean you will be making less sales. Remember the famous study on jam offerings? To refresh your memory, two tables in a supermarket with identical brand of jam, displayed at different times. One table offered 6 varieties, the other 24. Sales from the 6 options were 30% of those who stopped by, while the conversion on the table of 24 options converted only 3%. With both tables, the average number of jams sampled per person was 2. In another study on the effects of choice, students about to solve word puzzles were offered a cup of tea beforehand.

Those who were offered a choice – between caffeine or relaxing camomile - solved less puzzles than those who were directed to one tea only.

C/Ho/G-12 Dec. 12

Rule 2 – keep your choices to 6 or less in any comparison.

If you have 100 offerings, break them down into bite-size categories. I remember doing this with a client in Ubud that had over 40 offering descriptions crammed onto the back of an A5 sheet. But by categorising into 6 groups with bold headings, prospective customers weren’t overwhelmed and sales increased.

Rule 3 – But never, ever just offer one item. Having at least two choices helps to switch the decision from “Should I buy?“ to “Which one should I buy?“ Rule 4 - Keep your information relevant. A florist service in South America increased their sales by 27% just by adding a clock image and a countdown that told how many hours were left for same day delivery to be guaranteed.

Not only did this give re-assurance about the importance the supplier put on meeting emotionally critical events, but also added a sense of urgency to the purchase decision.

C/Ho/G-24 July 13

Some Sample Websites Check out (Google) some of these good and not-so-good examples of how business is meeting customer evaluation needs.

J.C. Penney Intuit Turbo Tax De Beers - the “4C’s” – cut, colour, clarity and carats.

ShoeDazzle.com Crest toothpaste – too many choices not helpfully categorised.

To paraphrase Elvis and Lionel Ritchie, you want Heidi “stuck on you.” By keeping the evaluation steps simple you keep Heidi happy and sticky in the nicest possible way.

Is there an aspect of developing a successful business you would like me to write about?

07 August - 21 August, 2013

“Ohm...Ohm...Ohm” Electrons, those elusive little blighters manufactured in Surabaya by hard working artisans who rub dead cats on pieces of amber, love copper. They love copper more than aliens like teasing Americans in their UFOs. They like copper even more than little boys like picking excrement out of their nasal passages.

You see electrons like speed and copper is soft and slippery and they can travel quite fast, anything up to 300,000 kilometres a second, that’s pretty quick really, nearly as fast as a banker closing his wallet.

But electrons also like flesh and getting into people’s nerves.

We all have our own domesticated electrons that live in our brains. Our mind comes up with an idea and gives an instruction. “Go down to my right hand and tell it to scratch that itch in my bum will you”. “Certainly sir” says the obedient little electron and off it goes running down a nerve to find your right hand.

All these bits of our body are just lumps of flesh and bone and if you think about it, apart from feeding lions, pretty useless without a bit of guidance from our brains. The heart, for example, might be warm and fuzzy and full of all that romance stuff but it does need regular attention. Every now and again our brain calls an electron, “Go and tell the heart to pump.”

“Certainly sir” says the electron and off it goes.

“Go and tell the heart to pump.”

“What again? Oh alright.”

“Go and tell the heart to pump.”

“I’ve just come back from there.”

“Go and tell the heart to pump.”

“Not again, this is starting to get a bit tedious.”

And so it goes on ad nauseum unless some wayward electron on a trip from Surabaya comes along and confuses the issue.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m off to tell the heart to pump.”

“To tell the heart to pump, why?”

“Because the brain told me to.”

“What, you let a brain tell you what to do? Come with me, I’m going to see the earth.”

“The earth? That sounds far more interesting.”

It’s a very good idea to keep feral electrons away from our brains, lungs and hearts if we can.

Electrons don’t like anything to stand in their way and, while the likes of Lance Armstrong can always “boost their performance” when faced with a strong headwind, the poor little electron is easily slowed down by a bit of resistance. They can get a bit hot under the collar and many a house has burned down due to some pissed off electrons meeting resistance while trying to escape.

The most dangerous things in our houses are earthquakes, fires, electric shocks and, of course, leaving the toilet seat up.

Earthquakes don’t happen very often, thank goodness, fires and electric shocks are usually caused by wayward electrons and toilet seats being left up are usually caused by being male.

So what can we do to protect ourselves.

In the case of Earthquakes we can make sure the structure of our houses are properly designed and built, a topic we have covered in other dusty annals of Fixed Abode.

In the case of wayward electrons we can make sure that our electrical installations are safe. If they are properly designed and installed they will have safety mechanisms built into them that will cut off the supply of power if there is a problem.

It is most important to make sure the wiring in our houses is correctly installed, not an easy thing to achieve in a land where parking a car is a highly technical skill requiring exceptionally talented people to advise and guide you with those essential words “terus, terus”.

Standard electrical cable used for house wiring in Indonesia is NYY and NYM cable, these are recognised international world standard cables. NYM is designed for internal use, it should not be used in places exposed to direct sunlight or outdoors.

NYY is a heavier duty cable that can be used outdoors, embedded in concrete, in water or buried in the earth but should not be used where mechanical damage is to be expected. (It is advised that all electrical cable is installed in rigid plastic pipe known as conduit).

brown wire for the live, a blue wire for the neutral and a third wire which is yellow and green striped and is for the earth.

The best quality of cable is generally regarded to be “Supreme”, you will find the name is printed in black friendly letters along the cable. Next best is “Focus“, lower quality cable is Eterna and Extrana and then you get into the “also rans” with names such as Dot Chi Cables or the Sum Ting Wong Company which are really useful cables for strapping 5 sacks of rice, 14 cans of paint and a 3 piece suite onto the back of your motorcycle or, for that matter, fastening toilet seats down.

It is wise to take note that the price of cable reflects its quality and the average electrical installation contractor is alway keen to save a few shekels regardless of how much it lowers the level of safety.

C/BM/G-7 August 13

Along with reinforced concrete structures the electrical installation is the part of building construction that you should never skimp on. You would be amazed (well probably you wouldn’t) at how the safety of a valuable property is seriously compromised by some grubby contractor wanting to save a mere Rp50,000.

I was once asked to investigate a case where a little girl nearly died having been electrocuted in a major public facility. It turned out that the contractor had saved a bit of money by installing two core cable instead of three core cable for the plug sockets. The neutral (blue) wire had been connected as both the neutral and the earth. One day there was a fault in a lighting system that had been plugged into an offending plug socket, a steel marquee frame became live and a 3 year old girl nearly died.

So how do we know if our electrical installations are safe and that Joe the former bakso roller hasn’t put a nail through the cable somewhere or the rats haven’t had a banquet on our multicoloured PVC without having to go crawling around in the roofspace on a mission rather like trying find a set of false teeth in a snowdrift?

We can test a wiring installation by means of a continuity test.

For this we use a continuity tester, a meter that sends a pulse of high voltage into the cable and measures how much leakage there is. We measure the resistance between the different cores in the cable. The test tells us if there are any short circuits, if the PVC insulation is working correctly and if the joints in the cable are properly connected. We don’t want those mischievous little electrons escaping where they can do harm (such as burning your house down or stopping your heart), so we want a high electrical resistance, anything up to 2,000 megohms (that’s a lot of ohms).

Granny is startled, she has stopped knitting, “Resistance is useless” she grunts.

“No granny, electrical resistance, we are talking about ohms.”

“Ohms, what on earth are those?”

“An ohm is a unit of measurement of how much something resists the flow of electricity, it is named after German Georg Simon Ohm.” “I am sure that someone, somewhere will find that really interesting.”

Unfortunately in Indonesia many electrical circuits fail continuity tests. There are two basic reasons for this. The first is the quality of the cable used, poor quality cable leaks electricity.

The second is the standard of the installation particularly the wiring connections. If you watch the average bakso roller who learned his electrical skills under the the watchful eye of his uncle, a highly regarded collector of cigarette butts, you will note that to connect cables he will bare the ends of the copper wires, twist them together then wrap a bit of plastic tape around the join. This is the standard method used but is not good enough.

Cable connections should use a small plastic cap which is screwed down onto the two copper ends. The plastic cap does two things: firstly it holds the two twisted copper ends tightly together and secondly it covers the joint to insulate it. The whole joint should then be contained inside a junction box.

Next time you are in someone’s fancy private villa have a look around the ceiling edges. You might see electrical cables joined together with bits of plastic insulation tape covering twisted copper connections, all too often these dodgy connections are pushed up under an alang alang roof. Perhaps you could ask your host if he/she is insured against fire.

These cables come in two and three core versions, the “cores” are copper wires wrapped in coloured insulating PVC sheathes and all enclosed in an outer sheath. There are different thicknesses of copper wire used depending on the amount of electricity being carried, for normal household installations we use cable with copper cores with a cross sectional area of 2.5 square millimetres.

In the case of the toilet seat you could consider protecting yourself by sex change surgery, taking the hormones or, probably more effectively, removing the offending seat altogether, there’s nothing like a dose of cold ceramic on bare cheeks first thing in the morning to bring things back into perspective.

Two core cable (NYY-O and NYM-O) is used for lighting circuits where no earth is required and has two wires: a brown one which is the live wire and a blue one which is neutral.

Say What?

Question: I’m a guy in my mid thirties who has been dating seriously for about three years. My end objective is marriage. The problem is I’m also financially successful.

When women find out what I do for a living, they light up as if I’m a walking wallet. Their interest in other aspects of me then strikes me as superficial, and I sense they’re primarily interested in what I can do for them materially. I have considered lying about my success as a means of testing a woman’s genuine intentions, but dishonesty doesn’t feel like the best way to start a potentially serious relationship.

What else can I do to test a woman’s true motives?

Dr. ZZ: What a good question! Many men, and even some financially successful women, tend to be wary that people

Meanwhile, it is entirely possible that a woman could be blind to your flaws if she were to see you only as a walking wallet. That’s a particularly good argument for presenting an honest representation of who you are from the start, and for acknowledging that financial success is part of your sum total. Just keep asking questions, listening carefully to the answers, and observing behaviors in order to uncover the other person’s enduring qualities. You will learn a lot about your dating partners and yourself in the process.

SHUTTER WINDOW

Question: I have met a man with whom I see the potential of developing a deeper relationship. The problem is he says he wants to date me, but he is always busy with something else. He is involved with his kids, he works out four to five times a week at the gym, and he frequently has late business meetings. Dating does not seem to be a priority for him. I know that he likes me, and I like him a lot too, but I don’t know what to think.

Dr. ZZ: If your intention is to develop a life partner relationship, then it is important to determine whether the men you are dating have similar goals. If this man’s priority, for example, were to find and create a deep, meaningful life relationship, then it would make sense that he would carve out the time to date. Since he hasn’t done that with you, he’s either not interested in life partnership, or he’s not interested in you.

Determining early on in a relationship if your dating partner shares your life goals and priorities allows you to decide how much of your time and energy to invest the interaction.

If this man doesn’t make dating you a priority, then you are wise to move on and find another person who has a greater potential of meeting your current and future objectives.

Making trade-offs or compromises based on a sense of desperation can work only if you are willing to accept the eventual consequences without complaint. Though your boyfriend is kind, loving, respectful and compatible, enjoying chemistry with someone else you care for would most likely trump all the above. No matter how nice and otherwise compatible your boyfriend may be, once you are convinced that you deserve passion in a relationship, you will be willing to part with him as friends; so that you can continue searching until you find what you’re looking for.

You cannot move forward unless your two feet are heading in the same direction. That may be the reason you are beginning to feel uncomfortable at this point.

Dating allows you to focus on questions and observe behaviors that may help in figuring out whether or not a potential partner has the necessary enduring qualities.

While a woman has the right to prefer a man who is financially successful, or someone who is interested in more than just her good looks, you too have the right to personal preferences. You may, for example, prefer dating women who are physically fit, who share your interests, or who have achieved a certain level of education. Some personal preferences have deep psychological roots and are difficult to alter.

Petitenget

Dr. ZZ: The solution seems obvious because you have already identified the story behind the story: “I probably want the relationship to work so badly that I have convinced myself it’s OK to give someone a chance even though the chemistry isn’t there.” Compromising on chemistry is a function of low self-esteem. The more in touch you become with your needs and with the fact that you deserve passion in a relationship, the less confused you will be about your lack of sexual feelings for this friend.

they date may focus on the lifestyle payoffs of a relationship rather than on the emotional, intellectual and spiritual benefits. This is one of the reasons why prenuptial agreements have become so popular.

Denpasar

Question: I’ve been with my boyfriend for about a year, and we are the best of friends. We spend a lot of time together, enjoy the same hobbies, and have the same goals. Our relationship is kind, loving, respectful and compatible. But there’s one dilemma: I don’t feel (nor have I ever felt) a sexual spark for him. I find him attractive, and I feel fine kissing and hugging him, but to be honest, I don’t feel that passion and excitement for him. The spark isn’t there. I’m sad to think we should break up. A relationship with such a good, caring, compatible man is hard to find.

I do, however, miss feeling sexually turned on. I probably want the relationship to work so badly that I have convinced myself it’s OK to give someone a chance even though the chemistry isn’t there. The solution seems obvious, but I would love some feedback. Thank you for your help.

Bali with Kids Back to School !

First Day at School with Jolena Williams Jolena is coordinator of the Seminyak SPICE Early Learning Centre and she explains that the first day at school can be daunting at any age but sometimes the transition proves harder for parents than it is for the child.

In general children are way more adaptable to new situations than adults.

First and foremost make sure that putting your child in an Early Learning Centre or school is really what you want. Ask yourself why you are doing it. If all your reasoning brings you to this one conclusion - you are doing the right thing! If you are not convinced - children pick up on your stress and emotions and it would be better to give it 3 months to a year before you are ready to enroll. ● For children who are 2 and older. We believe that it’s always important to be honest with your child from the very beginning. If they are not able to speak yet, they are still listening and most probably understanding. ● Communicate with your child’s teacher so both you and he/she are supporting your child in a positive way. As parents trust the teacher to be capable of handling most situations but remember that the teacher needs your input as parents to give an insight of key ways that spark an interest in your child. If a third party (nanny) is involved in the process make sure she is clear on what you have agreed upon so that all parties are supportive and aiming towards the same goal. ● As children get older be specific about what you will do while he/she is in school. Go through the events of their day... Name friends...teachers. Tell your child you will be back at lunch or after lunch. Specifics like these are important to your little ones and they will hold you to your word.

No point trying to run away from circle time or disappearing by saying you need to go toilet. Honesty is the best policy and will pay off in the long run. ● Consistency is also key. Like a marriage when you vow “through thick & thin, for better or for worse” as funny as it sounds dropping your child off requires the same commitment from you as parents. If you decide on going with the right process, giving in the moment your child cries will only bring you back to square one. ● Children are smarter than we think and in most cases have us (mums & dads) wrapped around their fingers. If a child was to have their own way...they’d probably choose to wear a princess/pirate dress, sleep in, eat whatever they want etc... Remind yourselves of why you chose to put your child in school and stick to your decision - only you can make it! ● Tears are a form of emotion and as long as your child is not hurt, sick or traumatized ...trust that even though for the first week to first few months when you leave your child in tears, he/she is most likely to be fine and happy shortly after.

If crying continues to the point your child is distraught and clearly stressed then it would be better to keep school hours to a maximum of an hour and half and build on this time span until confidence increases. Teachers will call you in most cases if nonstop crying exceeds half an hour. ● Prior to enrolling your child, begin talking about school.

What is school? Where is school? Why do we go to school?

Read stories, look at pictures both these things help your child prepare for the days ahead. ● Children really do like ownership, so purchasing a cute school bag, shoes, lunch box and (if possible) getting their uniform beforehand builds up the excitement of going to school and gives children a sense of belonging. Most schools ●

do not encourage bringing small toys, but in SPICE for “first timers” a cuddly toy or blanket can be a source of comfort when missing mommy & daddy. ● At pick up time, greet your child with a cuddle and a big smile. They will breathe a sigh of relief and eventually grow accustomed to this new routine of saying goodbye in the morning and hello a short while after. Good luck and happy learning!

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE AUGUST 07 - AUGUST 21, 2013

Jupiter follows in the path of Mars and creates a T-square with Uranus and Pluto this fortnight. July was a spectacularly potent month with the two grand water trines and the earth trine and the Star of David, which incorporated that opposition from Mars in Cancer to Pluto in Capricorn and square to Uranus in Aries. Jupiter now brings the expansion, growth and change that was seeded during the galactic portal. Mercury has moved on from its retrograde turning degree and moves into Leo. Venus moves into Libra, which it rules and the Sun is poised to enter Virgo by the beginning of the next fortnight. This month’s moon cycle began in Leo and will climax in the second of our Aquarian Full Moons. Leo is all about the personal self and how much attention we are getting. Mercury will take just two weeks to scoot through this sign and will be demanding all sorts of outrageous things. Ego energies tend to run high during the Leo cycles. Venus in Libra is looking for balance, for peace and harmony. There will be an interesting opposition to Uranus later in the month from the Lady of Love. We could see some sudden and unexpected surprises in relationships. It may just well be out with the old and in with the new. Mars enters Leo at the end of the month and will be ready to show off the new with it’s regal flare for extravagance. A very showy couple of months.

NEW MOON 14 Leo 35 August 7, 2013 05:52 a.m.

ARIES Mars continues to move through the sign of Cancer this fortnight. It’s already played its major role in the recent line-up as a catalyst to change. Your life will be looking rather different than it was at the beginning of July. Most have been through a bit of a metamorphosis and hopefully come through with some brilliant new wings. Are you ready to fly into the next phase of your life? These are the days of rapid movement and there is no point holding to the past. Let it go and flow with the current of life. By the end of August you will be feeling more vibrant and more alive.

LIBRA Venus, your ruling planet is about to go into your sign until mid-September. This brings an added sense of beauty and harmony to everything in your life. A bit of a gift really. It will be triggering the Uranus/Pluto square through opposition to Uranus and a square to Pluto and with that there will be a few speed bumps at the end of August. Venus is all about relationship and values, as is your life. You may find yourself changing your mind about a few things and allowing some new ideas to filter through and modifying your life in rather exponential ways. Change is growth and evolution.

TAURUS You are feeling quite organized and good at sticking to your schedule. It could well be that you are preparing yourself for a new romantic interlude. If your heart is being pulled towards another and you are ready for a little companionship, this could be the month of manifesting your dream partner. As Venus slips into Libra towards the end of the fortnight these connections become more possible. Some of you have been procrastinating the end of a significant relationship and this is the make or break month. Often it is the arrival of another that seals the deal.

SCORPIO As you harness the power of these ongoing and stunning transits you begin to witness your life through a new lens. It’s like the colors becoming brighter and the texture somehow deeper. Many of you are having brand new adventures. Branching out in areas of your life that you’ve not made important before now.

The newness is refreshing, stimulating and challenging. The change that you once feared is now so exciting as you release these fears and begin to live in a new way. How exciting is all of this? You can anticipate this to continue, as the intensity rises now.

GEMINI There’s a tendency to overdo things when Mercury is in Leo. The flamboyancy is stunning but if too exaggerated you may lose your audience. If you are on a roll and uplifting others then there is probably nothing to concern yourself with. It could be the perfect opportunity to lighten up a little, as things have been rather tense and very emotional over the past month. A great time to add some theatrical components to your delivery and to converse with children in a playful and childlike way. It’s way more easy to get their attention now. Go a little easier on yourself.

SAGITTARIUS You are another who is pushed to grow beyond your old way of being.

Sometimes you are pushed and sometimes you race ahead on your own. As you adapt to this more feeling mode of life, the experience becomes more visceral, more expanded and more stimulating. This is potentially way better than you could have imagined it to be. Who would have thought, that this is what the journey would be like? Even the transformations are something to look forward to . Each round brings a deeper release followed by an expansion in perception and intuition.

CANCER The growth that Jupiter will bring to your life, can be measured by the harmony that’s occurring within your familial structures now. As things have already begun to shift, you can see the trends of the changes to come over this next year. Some of this is surprising and unexpected and some you had already anticipated. Mars continues in your sign until the end of the month and so it is a great time to get things done. You have more energy and vitality than normal. This moon cycle is about focusing on and speaking up for yourself. Take care of you first and then others.

CAPRICORN As Saturn keeps forging ahead the new is taking shape in your life. As you move towards an emotional healing of sorts, you get the sense that there is no one place to reach with regard to any specific area of your life. That there appears to be cycles that keep repeating in an ever expanding way and to aim towards one point of comfort or completion would be pointless. It’s that the Universe is infinitely creative and as a part of that endless manifestation there is just no limit to what you can do.

That’s enough to unsettle the most broadminded person, if you really think about it. Enjoy the ride.

LEO This fortnight we see Mercury join the Sun in Leo and start to deliver those potent messages. Quite a year you have in store for yourself with all the exceptional activity we’ve been experiencing in the Heavens. This is the birthday portal for you and many will be feeling the strong pull of destiny or the feeling that the things that you are doing in your life are very important. Many are being called back to their homelands to reconnect with family either in the blood or communal sense. Learn to move with the ever changing flow of events and situations and let go the past; leave it behind.

AQUARIUS If you can view your challenges as a good thing, or rather neither good nor bad and you can see them as a necessary part of getting to where you want to be, a lot of stress and discordance is removed from your life. You begin to live life more fearlessly and with that things begin to manifest or show up in your life. By now, you are getting accustomed to the changes and the sometimes radical departures and that’s a good thing because there are way more in store. There could be some romance on the way for many by the end of the month. Are you ready?

VIRGO You’ve been particularly good at taking care of yourself these past weeks and this will continue now through August. Health maintenance and routines are easy for you when you get yourself into a structured flow. The emphasis is on purging with all the Plutonic stimulation that’s been occurring. Remember it’s not just the body, but the mind also that needs to be rid of its old habits of thought. Those rounds of self-doubt and criticism that keep you bound to the past and falling short of your desires. Get your head clear and on track with focused attention and intentions.

PISCES Neptune has received her guidance from Saturn and will ponder on it all until November and then move forward with confidence. There’s less and less to do and more and more to be. Allowing the boundaries to dissolve and reemerge constantly seems to be the way to go in these ever changing days. It’s a bit like making it up as you go along, or creating the path as you move through life, following the cues, the guidance, intuition and synchronicity. Neptune in Pisces will sooner or later connect with your natal Sun and then you will be in full Piscean expression.

Sister In Danger Youth against sexual violence

By Polly Christensen

While it is known as a ‘paradise island’, Bali has yet to be a paradise for Balinese women and children. The number of domestic abuse cases toward the female Balinese population remains high, while cases of sexual violence toward children have soared at an even higher rate with little done to raise public awareness.

A long awaited campaign by Indonesians to highlight abuse of girls by their families has been launched by the songwriter of local group Simponi to discover how we can give a voice to women and girls in jeopardy. “Sister in Danger” is a song performed by Simponi (Sindikat Musik Penghuni Bumi or Music Syndicate of Earth Dwellers) as part of a campaign to promote protection for females. Hundreds of youngsters in Bali are now grouped in a national “Sister in Danger” campaign to eradicate aggression against women and girls in Indonesia.

Simponi believes that women’s stories, recommendations, and collective rising leadership can and will bring an end to genderbased violence. Expressing abuse openly seems to be a catharsis for women to forgive themselves. According to the songwriter, M. Berkah Gamulya, ‘we must stand up for our sisters and those who fall victim to violence, sexual harassment and sexual abuse’.

This vital campaign brought together Simponi, many university and high school students in Bali, the Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan), and the Women’s Legal Aid foundation (LBH APIK Bali).

COMMISSION ON VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN Komnas Perempuan is an independent institution established by the government of Indonesia, working to eliminate all forms of violence against women. LBH APIK Bali is an organization of lawyers to create a non-discrimination legal system for women, to defend women’s rights. LBH APIK Bali is an NGO concerned with violence against women and children, focusing on legal assistance (litigation and non-litigation), and working on policy advocacy.

When Simponi launched a mini album in February this year they committed to donate 5.000 Rupiah for every CD sold to “Pundi Perempuan”, a program initiated by Komnas Perempuan and Indonesian for Humanity Foundation (YIK) to support Women’s Crisis Centres in many cities across Indonesia. Local band Simponi cooperated with LBH APIK Bali when they created the ‘Sister In Danger’ Roadshow at two Balinese universities and one school in during 2013.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE 472 domestic violence and sexual abuse cases toward women and children were reported last year, across the island. The Bali branch of the Community Service Center for the Protection of Women and Children found a total of over 782 cases of brutality towards women and children were recorded in Bali the previous year. There were a total of 253 sexual offenses towards women and children, including 190 cases of domestic violence, which were recorded in Denpasar.

Balinese families have a patrilineal family system, which is followed closely within the community. Therefore, it is important to raise awareness among Balinese that domestic offenses are totally unacceptable. Law No. 23/2004 on the elimination of domestic violence stipulates that abusive husbands found guilty in court face a maximum five years imprisonment or a maximum Rupiah 15 million fine. According to Law No. 23/2002 on child protection, those convicted of child rape or child molestation may face between three and 15 years in prison or a fine of between Rupiah 60 million and Rupiah 300 million.

FACING FEAR It is hard to convey the grim story of violence or rape to family,

the police, or society. In this patriarchy country, the victims can be blamed or victimized so easy, by the society, by the police, by the government. Even a woman who is a victim has difficulties speaking up or putting her trust in the authorities.

But, now, more women and girls have courage to speak up. Many wives report their husbands for raping daughters to the police station or to the Women’s Crisis Center. Students report their teachers for sexually harassing them. The press, Komnas Perempuan, and NGOs play a significant role. By watching the news on TV, the women and girls know what to do. From the information giving by Komnas Perempuan and NGOs, people know how to take action.

It is also worth noting several influences that have had a harmful effect upon Balinese society and, more predominantly on Balinese women. Mass tourism has had a serious weakening effect on Balinese culture, including an extraordinary shift away from a rural way of life, to urbanization. Women’s emancipation has been known to collide with traditional values, leading to misinterpretation.

VIOLENCE IN THE HOME Even though women are now brave enough to leave husbands and fight for their rights, domestic violence in Bali is still one of the main causes of divorce. Since divorce is legal but shameful, this results in problems for the woman and her family of origin.

The risks of divorce include women having difficulty being reaccepted into their biological family’s home and women losing their offspring to their spouses, due to patriarchal dominance and cultural traditions.

Rape, incest, and domestic violence are taboo subjects within Indonesia and violence against women is not fully recognized as a problem. Women who are battered or tormented by their husbands may be cut-off from community support and many of these victims are scared to freely discuss their problems.

One of the worst cases of domestic violence in Indonesia involved Santi, whose husband doused her with kerosene and set her on fire. In 2010, activists from Pulih drew attention to Santi’s case in the national media. She was in the hospital for eight months. The police let him go, saying there were not any witnesses to prove there was a crime. Her husband ‘picked up a plastic bucket when she was still burning, and held it over her head’. The plastic apparently melted her face.

SISTER IN DANGER My older sister is in danger / my younger sister is in danger. / My mother is in danger / don’t teach us how to dress / teach your brain about humanity. / My family is in danger / your family is in danger. / You are all in danger. These are pieces of the “Sister in Danger” lyrics performed by Simponi to promote safety for girls and women. Music concerts are the main draw of the campaign with additional workshops and discussion groups as part of the tour.

I spoke with Songwriter M. Berkah Gamulya (Mul) to discover how we can give a voice to victims. Mul explained that Simponi would always choose to highlight a problem, which is close to the youth, especially one concerning his own friends and family. And because some of the responsibility for solving the problems does lie with women themselves, Simponi created a new campaign to find solutions.

Tell me about yourself and Simponi I am a social activist who joined the pop-rock band Simponi established to sing and learn about humanity, together with the people, especially youth. Simponi won second place winner of Fair Play 2012: International Anti-Corruption Music Competition and was awarded The Most Global Warming Campaign School Visits by Indonesia’s World Record Museum-MURI (2011). We also represented Indonesia on an Asia Pacific Environmental Youth Forum in (2011, 2012).

What is the song “Sister in Danger” about?

It is a song about sadness, fear and anger and was written as a tribute to the victims and survivors of sexual violence in Indonesia and around the world.

What does the campaign consists of and how can we

participate?

The Sister In D a n g e r R o a d s h o w (across 11 cities in Bali and Java) is a m u s i c a l discussion campaign. People can contribute as participant, as speaker, as host, give some donation, or any activities that can make this campaign a success.

Simponi are not the experts on this issue, but we want to do it, as soon as possible, because this is urgent and an emergency.

We are inviting everyone who has expertise or experiences to join us in all schools or university campuses.

Why has it taken so long for Indonesians to highlight abuse?

I don’t know. It’s a very complex problem. Mixed: patriarchy system, poverty, low education rate, and freedom of press, corrupt government and police.

How many victims are there per day?

There were 12 victims every day in Indonesia in 2011, which increased to 20 victims everyday in 2012 (Komnas Perempuan).

In 2013, almost every day we can watch and read about it on the news. This is very crazy. Women, girls and children are living in danger, insecure in their own country. Including my family, our family. We question the existence of the laws, the government, the religions, the constitution, the culture, and our countries educational system.

How many youths in Bali are now grouped together to eliminate violence?

According to Mrs. Ni Nengah Budiwati, the Director of LBH APIK Bali, very few. In Bali, there is a youth group (Karang Taruna) called Sekehe Truna Truni in every village. It would be great if we can facilitate them to become groups that have a concern to eliminate violence against girls and women.

How can youth show the world that they are not the silent generation?

First they have to improve their own attitude. The boys and men should respect women, girls and children just like they respect their own mother and family. The girls and women should have the courage to say no to sexual harassment, to report any kind of sexual violence. They can spread the message of equality, respect and anti-violence through their own interests or hobbies like film, writing, music, drama, play, and media - within their own community.

Can you describe the various forms of violence and sexual abuse?

Domestic violence, forced pregnancy, forced married, sexual exploitation, marital rape, unwanted sexual touching, women trafficking, forced prostitute, forced abortion, and sexual control by regulation in the name of morality and religion.

What is the youngest age of these victims?

The youngest is a 8-month-old baby; the oldest age is 73-year-old grandmother.

Does violence against women and girls usually take place within families?

Yes. From 216,156 cases of violence against women and girls, 211,822 cases take place within families (Report of Komnas Perempuan, 2012). For rape cases, there is a law that will punish 30 years in jail for the crimes.

How can Bali Advertiser readers help give a voice to the victims?

We need to produce more leaflets and factsheet to distribute. We need more discussion, more music and film to educate people about gender equality, about human rights, and about children’s rights. We need more funding to create events, school roadshows, to run Women’s Crisis Center’s and to support legal aid foundations. The readers can join LBH APIK Bali as a volunteer, or report sexual violence to us. Many Balinese think that domestic violence is a private problem and is taboo, so we need to work together to solve this problem.

The Greatest PC Mysteries--Solved! PART 1

www.thenbagus.com NC/CI/P-30 May 12

I get email from readers asking some of the most basic questions about their computers. I always have to Google it and then reply so I get the answer correct! Well PCWorld’s editors have banded together to solve the greatest PC mysteries, and save me a lot of time! Here are the mysteries and their (maybe) solutions….

Actually, when you think about what your computer can do for you and how you have added lots of software that didn’t even come with your computer or may not even have existed when your computer was built, it IS amazing it all works (well, most of the time, anyway).

Why is [Program X] always running when I start my PC? Windows maintains a list of programs that automatically run every time you boot up your computer. Some of these startup programs (such as antivirus utilities) are beneficial, but many of them are not necessary and can slow your PC as they run automatically in the background. Speed up your boot time by disabling Windows startup programs (http://www.pcworld.com/article/241049/how_to_disable_windows_startup_programs.html).

C/CI/G - 23 Jan. 13

Why does my PC keep making a grinding sound?

This can happen for a lot of reasons--and unfortunately almost all of them are bad news. The most likely answer is that a fan or hard drive in your PC is starting to die, causing it to spin off-kilter. Here is a smart guide to pinpointing the source of a grinding-sound problem in this Answer Line column (http://www.pcworld.com/article/243708/is_that_grinding_ sound_the_death_of_my_hard_drive.html). No matter what the cause turns out to be, you should immediately back up your hard drive, just in case.

Why do I need administrator access to delete certain files?

That requirement is just a security precaution: Windows 7 insists that you have administrator access in order to modify or delete files when doing so might affect other people who use the computer. If you need to delete something and you don’t have the password to get into the administrator account (if you bought the PC used, for example) here’s how to gain administrator access without a password (http://www.pcworld.com/article/206809/gain_administrator_access_ without_a_password.html).

C/CI/I-06 March 13

I updated my hardware drivers and now my PC is acting funny. What happened?

Though it’s a good idea to download the latest drivers for your components, occasionally a buggy or beta driver update may degrade your PC’s performance. If that happens, try to roll back to a previous version of the driver that you know is safe; if you can’t do that, you’ll have to uninstall the problematic driver entirely. Our walkthrough of how to uninstall drivers in Windows (http://www.pcworld.com/article/246041/how_to_uninstall_drivers_in_windows.html) explains how to perform a rollback and how to uninstall a driver.

Does it matter whether I ‘safely remove’ devices?

Absolutely: If you ignore Windows’ requests to “safely remove” your storage media, you could end up with corrupted files, unreadable media, or both.

Where did my downloaded files go? Why can’t I find them?

Your browser chooses where downloads go, but you can control the process. Here’s how http://www.pcworld.com/ article/217112/how_to_specify_a_location_for_saving_downloads.html When I send an email, why doesn’t my friend get it? (Or how does our email end up on someone else’s Spam folder?)

The vast majority of messages circulating the Internet are spam, which means you have to be careful when you are crafting your messages.

The more of these attributes you may have inadvertently been using, the more likely your messages will get tagged as spam or worse, your e-mail address gets blacklisted by mail systems.

www.NyamaBali.com C/CI/I-17 Oct 12

Common things to avoid include: - ALL CAPS or excessive use of punctuation, especially on the Subject line or your from: address - Very large or very small text, especially in combination - Attachments - High image to text ratios (do you have an image in your signature?)

- Any common keyword used in pharmaceutical, financial or real estate spam - Lots of bold or different colored text (green and red are the worst) - Using a background image - Excessive typos - No Subject line - Excessive blank lines, especially between text lines - E-mail addresses that use numbers and letters, especially if they start with a number or don’t use any real words in the address None of these on their own will automatically get your message tagged as spam, but a combination will certainly raise your spam score.

Another way to get your message caught in spam filters is to copy text from Microsoft Word into your message when it’s setup to send in HTML (which is the default for most e-mail programs).

Microsoft Word documents will insert lots of extra code that you don’t see but makes your message look like it’s loaded with hidden code to a spam filter. Learning how to send messages in plain text, especially when you want to copy/paste from websites or a Word document is helpful (search your help menu for ‘plain text messages’).

If you include links in your messages, always make sure that the http:// is included (spammers routinely create fake links that say one thing, but send you somewhere completely different if you click on it).

But wait, there’s more. The title of this article is The Greatest PC Mysteries--Solved! PART 1. Note the ‘PART 1’! So next issue I’ll give you the reset of the most common mysteries and their solutions. ============================================================================================ Have a question or problem?

By Captain Su Trust our experience to manage your goods Sail Indonesia Rally 2013 The annual Sail Indonesia Rally is under way. About 80 yachts left Darwin Australia on Saturday 27 July for what must be one of the most remarkable sailing events going.

Yachts from all over the world gathered in Darwin before the start to get their yachts ready, attend the famous Farewell BBQ, get their final sailing instructions and glide past the start boat to begin a three month sailing odyssey through the beautiful waters of Indonesia. Skippers can buddy up and cruise in company with one or more yachts and feel secure they are not alone if anything goes wrong. More experienced Skippers who have been regular participants can pass on their knowledge and experiences to the newbies and maybe if they are feeling really generous guide them into some unknown but exquisite anchorages. Often it is where you put the anchor down that gives the most vivid memories. Sailing in itself can be a variable experience. On a good day when the wind is fresh and you have trimmed your sails well and the yacht gets a sense of balance it can actually sail by itself without needing a hand on the helm. An old Navy Captain showed me this one time. The feeling of being on board when a yacht is well balanced and steering itself is indescribable. You are only going maybe six to seven knots and it is not a fleeting rush that surfers get barreling down a wave. This lasts for as long as the wind stays true.

One way to describe the Sail Indonesia Rally is that it is like a three month sailing Cook’s Tour for yachts with planned stopovers in remote and some not so remote coastal villages. At these stopovers the locals put on a welcome ceremony that includes dance, music and local food. These are organized well before the start and are a perfect opportunity to meet and greet the locals. But the organisers are at pains to say that Skippers do not have to strictly follow the course. They can drop in and out of the schedule whenever they want. This avoids the “if it’s Tuesday it must be Belgium.” feeling. The Indonesian Government helps out too by making the paperwork easier and has a few government boats accompanying the fleet. This year’s Bali stopover will be at Lovina in the waters in front of the dolphin statue. Most yachties should be there from 18 – 23 September as it is a designated visa renewal stop. Lovina is more laid back than the frenetic south and is a great place but the atmospherics spike when there a large number of yachts anchored in the bay. Well worth being there to join in the fun.

WAOW - Water Adventure Ocean Wide Charters Serangan Island is the home port for many yachts of different origins, some small some big. The keen yacht watchers amongst us would have noticed a magnificent three mastered luxury schooner anchored there.

This is the sv WAOW (Water Adventure

Ocean Wide) a 60m, 800 tonne purpose built phinisi schooner that provides luxury 5 star treatment for those wanting a lengthy cruise from Bali to places like Komodo and beyond.

It has a crew of 18 plus a couple of Cruise Directors. The technical data is impressive and includes two Yanmar Marine diesel engines 500hp each, fuel capacity of a whopping 32000 liters, 12000 liters of drinking water plus additional water makers and respectable cruising speed of eight to ten knots. By the way those masts are made of steel and are over 40 meters tall and can carry 850sq m of sail. In Komodo she was recently clocked at 7.6 knots under full sail in 18 knots of breeze with motors off, so yes she really does sail.

Explore Bali by Boat WAOW Charters also runs a highly professional dive and seafari boat. It is a near new 14m fiberglass power catamaran, purpose built for diving and exploring Bali.

It is spacious and comfortable and can take up to 18 passengers on a day trip or even longer. Imagine cruising around Bali by boat and at sunset heading for a beachside hotel for one or more days. Then when you are ready step back on the catamaran and start a new day of fun. You can spend your day diving, snorkeling or exploring at various spots or just kick back and enjoy the sea.

Why not circumnavigate Bali by sea and beat all the traffic. You can go to Lombok if you want and stay at the Gillis, Mentigi Bay or Medana Bay Marina and do some hiking around Mt Rinjani while the catamaran patiently waits for your return. There is nothing better than getting on a boat first thing in the morning and starting a new adventure and at the end of the day is the convivial debrief with your friends on the day’s fun. The best way to see an island is from the sea and Bali is no exception. The panoramas are beautiful and it is always exciting coming into a new anchorage. The catamaran has a shallow draft and gets into just about any bay or beach that you may want to explore. If you anchor a little way out there is a RIB tender to drop you off. The shallow draft also means that the Catamaran can pick you up from other parts of Bali. You don’t have to begin your seafari adventure at Serangan Island. For more information about this great way to see Bali and Lombok check out WAOW website.

LOVE IS A DOG You’ve probably passed it many times in heavy, Ubud traffic, those strangely stoic dog statues on the steps of the BARC Good Karma Rehab Centre on Jalan Raya Pengosekan. They are now a landmark of the plight of the street dog here in Bali.

But who are we?

Bali Adoption Rehabilitation Centre (BARC) houses 200+ rescued dogs and puppies and works to relieve the s u f f e r i n g , starvation, abuse and neglect of the street dogs in Bali. We endeavor to provide medical care, food, rehabilitation, bedding and love to all dogs.

We are a strictly no-kill shelter providing vaccination, sterilisation and any other necessary medical assistance to all rescued dogs plus we operate a street program to help many of the mistreated. Additionally we conduct education programs within the Balinese community and provide adoption, foster and sponsorship services for all our dogs.

Officially founded in 2006 by Aussie expat Linda Buller, BARC has expanded rapidly. We have rescued well over 6000 dogs and presently care for more than 200 dogs and puppies. With no government funding we operate solely on donations, support and the generosity of the global community and are operational thanks to the support of our on-the-ground volunteers.

Our work is a day-to-day battle to rescue, save and bring back the spirit of many abused and neglected animals. No one-day is the same. BARC staff can be called out to emergencies several times a day to various parts of the island to rescue animals. Calls can come in at any time, day or night. Our staff and volunteers are always on call and have very little time to themselves. It is a selfless job, but one that BARC is passionate about. We have a tiny team and a tiny budget, but very big hearts and big hopes for the future.

BARC is not a shelter nor a pound. We are a rehabilitation facility for injured and abused dogs. We provide a place for street dogs to be cared for, nurtured and brought back to good health with the hope of adopting them out to local families and permanent residents of Bali.

BARC had humble beginnings. Originally located in Linda Buller’s home in Ubud, her house quickly became overrun with animals so she found and secured an abandoned gallery on the outskirts of town. She then added to the structure to include various pens for infectious, recovering, healing and abandoned dogs.

In a recent interview Linda had these words to say; “I wanted to set up a centre that could offer a safe, humane and sterile environment for my furry friends or at least a humane process of putting them out of their misery. I had no finances, no resources and no volunteers, but I did know how to stretch a dollar. BARC began on a wing and a prayer and faith in an all encompassing compassionate power. I searched for the ideal location and came across an abandoned gallery in Ubud. With my small income from the Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic I ran, I began to work on awakening my dream.

For further funds I had regular painting exhibitions in galleries, successfully selling enough work to continue.

We have been operating for nearly 10 years and it’s an absolute miracle. We are not regularly funded but rely on the donations, dog sponsorship and support of many generous individual people.

I have witnessed many horrific cases of animal cruelty and neglect, but from small beginnings we have nurtured and cared for many broken souls and created a happy outcome.”

Since the inception of BARC we have endeavored to educate the community to respect the Bali dogs. Here dogs are beaten, bullied, abused, eaten, dumped, abandoned and starved.

In 2009 the government released a rabies outbreak fear campaign resulting in mass slaughter of thousands of beach, street and privately owned dogs. Most of the dogs killed were not infected. BARC encourage a humane solution and want

to put active laws in place to protect all animals. We currently run an education program to stop the inhumane behavior toward animals.

‘Sanur’, one of our rescued dogs, is a classic example of what we face when saving Bali street dogs. 18 Months ago when the government was having a mass cull, killing all street dogs because of rabies there were many dogs living on Sanur beach. BARC had already desexed and vaccinated many of these dogs for rabies. These dogs were happy living on the beach and tourists loved them. Sadly the government decided to kill all the dogs in fear that the tourists would get bitten by a rabid dog. The day we got the phone call to rescue ‘Sanur’ 40 dogs were poisoned on the beach, their bodies were dragged away like rubbish in front of tourists. However, ‘Sanur’ was sitting with a tourist who threw his beach towel on top of him to hide him. ‘Sanur’ was smart, he stayed still and quiet until the government team had gone. When we went to rescue ‘Sanur’ he was the only dog left on the beach and tourists had been told by the kill-team that they would keep coming back until all of the dogs were dead.

BARC had previous records for ‘Sanur’, we had already desexed and vaccinated him.

Since that fatelful day, ‘Sanur’ has lived at BARC as the pack leader.

In the past 10 years we have healed, sterilized and cared for thousands of Bali dogs and adopted them out to good families who have been strictly screened and approved for adoption.

We have an average of 150 dogs at any one time, presently we have over 200.

Bali’s hot humid climate is the perfect breeding ground for viruses. Many deadly canine viruses are running rampant on the streets, making survival for street dogs even more d i f f i c u l t .

Parvovirus and distemper are our main enemies, both of which are preventable with a few simple vaccinations. BARC vaccinates and sterilizes all dogs in our care before adopting them to new homes. As proven in the western world, these diseases can be vaccinated out of the system and we are currently trying to do so in Bali.

When Linda started BARC, vaccinations were hard to come by and unpopular in Bali, but now, thanks to her hard work in educating and vaccinating, there is a noticeable difference on the streets of Bali. More and more locals are learning the importance of vaccinating and the reasons behind it.

In a country full of non-sterilized dogs, overpopulation is inevitable. Many young females are having puppies on the streets and in family compounds. Many of these puppies end up being abandon in rubbish dumps, in temples, in rivers or on the streets. However BARC sterilizes over 300 dogs a year through their street sterilization program and as our resources grow we continually address this issue every day.

In Bali most dogs die a slow and preventable death. There are no words to describe their suffering. They cringe at the sight of humans because we have always been their enemy, their abuser. They hide from detection, they live in fear. They have never known love or affection or been given food freely.

When BARC rescues these animals their spirits are often broken. We hope the love, medication, warm blankets and a pause from the rigors of a very hostile world will mend and recover each one. Slowly they do trust and respond affectionately to humans.

It is also a sad fact that dog is on the menu throughout the world, including Bali. It’s believed when a dog is beaten to death, cooked and eaten it will bring on aphrodisiac symptoms for men. We work to eradicate these fallacies through education of the local community. But for many dogs in Bali, their survival is dependent on themselves. They live along side families in local compounds and on the streets, taking their role of protecting their owners and home very seriously. However, dog ownership here is very different to the Western world.

Dogs are fed but not on a regular basis, and water is not readily available. When the family dog gets sick, many are left to die without any veterinary assistance, and are even dumped in another area so they are no longer a problem to the owner.

Western breed dogs are kept in small cages and displayed as trophies, sadly never getting a chance to run, stretch and play. Often these dogs are bred to make money, much the same as puppy milling in the West. At BARC we feel it is very important to teach the children how to care for and respect animals so that future generations can learn the joys of giving and receiving unconditional love and companionship for our beautiful four legged friends.

Our dream and goal for the future is to develop Bali’s first ever rescued dog sanctuary. The sanctuary would be a place of fun, play, relaxation and retirement for the un-adoptable who have either lost limbs, been horrendously traumatized through cruel circumstances or have developed mental health issues caused by mistreatment or a tough start to life.

In August 2012 BARC secured a large property one hour north of central Ubud and we are now raising funds to create a purpose built sanctuary that will not only be home to our canines, but also several cats and kittens, monkeys, Iggy the Iguana and Sir Wally Walter our pig.

‘Warrior’s Legacy – BARC Sanctuary’ is now a reality. We presently house over 150 dogs in the clean, crisp mountain air in a huge compound where they sleep in elevated villastyle kennels and have their own river running through the grassy area. There is still a lot of work to be done, but we are definitely making progress to Save the Bali Dogs.

‘Warrior’s Legacy - BARC Sanctuary’ officially opens to the public in late 2013.

TOKO BUKU Reviews of English language books on Indonesia

by Bill Dalton

Shades of Grey by Jusuf Wanandi consensus of many historians, Wanandi’s “official figure” of 200,000 killed is far too low.

The writer was one of the key figures that ensured Suharto’s first re-election in 1971 so that the country would continue to be governed by a presidential system and not a parliamentary system. He convincingly enumerates Suharto’s strengths. For at least the first 20 years of his rule, according to the author, this humble career soldier possessed animal cunning, a photographic memory and flawless survival skills. Suharto was actually much smarter than people gave him credit for. Wanandi admits that the rot that eventually crept into the political system after 32 years of the strongman’s rule eventually led to an ignominious ending for Suharto and multiple crises for the republic. “Indonesia has suffered from its history,” he writes.

The book’s passages recording the infighting, the dogged loyalties and the betrayals read like a political thriller, while other sections dealing with subject matter like the Supersmar declaration, the diplomatic efforts during the anti-republican Permesta revolt in Sumatra or the history of coalitions between Islamic and Catholic groups in the ‘50s and ‘60s get bogged down in excessive detail of little interest to the average reader.

For 18 critical years of Indonesia’s modern history, Jusuf Wanandi was right in the thick of it. Politics was always an addiction for him, but it wasn’t until 1964 when Wanandi at last got his chance to totally immerse himself in the political life of the nation. Soejono, minister in the Sukarno government’s new Supreme Advisory Council, invited him to become his secretary. The veteran lawyer’s fervid anti-communist sentiments motivated him to accept. As a devout Catholic close to the palace, Wanandi wanted to ensure that the Republic continued to adhere to the state ideology of Pancasila and not fall under the sway of godless communism.

His close up portraits of Sukarno in action at his famous two-hour breakfast meetings at the Merdeka Palace and the Lenso dance evenings at the Bogor Palace are riveting, as are the author’s keen observations of other members of the country’s ruling elite of ministers, communist officials as well as Sukarno’s favorite general Achmad Yani.

The book reveals that the PKI mined Sukarno’s speeches to support the party’s policies; that Sukarno’s PR people told him that he would create more of an aura if he wore snappy Air Force or Navy uniforms; Suharto’s wife Ibu Tien’s two brothers were more deserving of the slur against her as “Madame Ten Percent” than she was; the Catholics had planted a deep throat informant inside the upper echelons of the communist party. I was also surprised to learn that after the 1965 coup Suharto first asked his superior General Nasution to take over the armed services. Had he accepted, the whole course of modern Indonesian history would’ve undoubtedly been different.

Reading his minute-by-minute account of the decisive days before and after the 1965 coup quickens the heart. You can feel the eerie atmosphere of the empty streets as Suharto “moved as slowly and deliberately as a character in a wayang play” as he remorselessly took over the army, waging a war of attrition against Sukarno who took three years to get rid of. The oft-cited theory that Suharto himself engineered the take over he attributes more to anti-Suharto sentiment and to emotions than to the facts.

Suharto was just lucky to be the right man in the right place at the right time.

The author’s baptism of fire in the world of international affairs was the 2nd Afro-Asian Non-Aligned conference in Algiers in 1965. His assertion that West New Guinea’s Act of Free Choice was “open, fair and peaceful” flies in the face of a vote that was manipulated to guarantee the desired outcome – the takeover of the territory by Indonesia.

The index is excellent, enabling a reader to find multiple references in the text of any event or personage that you come across. A glossary would’ve been helpful in deciphering all the acronyms used in the country’s political system: MPR, BPPT, DPR, GMNI, KAMI, etc. was well as cultural and historic terms such as wayang, pesantren, Mahabharata, konfrontasi that aren’t always explained in the text.

This is an eyewitness account by someone who was actually there as an integral member of the generation of Suharto era policy makers. It is from the unique perspective of a religious minority that Wanandi views the world of Indonesian politics, moreover bringing to bear to his powers of observation and detailed analysis a strict academic training.

At times you feel like you are right there by his side as Suharto addresses angry crowds, as ministers squabble or as troops move on the palace. Though only a lowly placed government official who worked behind the scenes, the writer traveled the world rubbing shoulders with heads of state, ambassadors, diplomats and foreign delegations.

Even after reading the whole book, I still didn’t know what Wanandi’s official title or job description was.

Observing not as an equal but as a modest outsider, working the shadows with his eyes and ears alert to what motivated the personalities of the major players of the Suharto era, we are fortunate to have this astute political memoir as a part of the public record.

The author attributes the subsequent mass killings on the duality of the presidency and on the political tensions of the times. People were more concerned about their own physical safety or political survival, he asserts, than with protecting the lives and rights of others. According to the

BALI SNAKE WATCH

Three years ago I wrote about the venomous snakes of Bali.

With so many newcomers to the island, I’m updating the information and running it again. Please share this with your staff.

Most of Bali’s wildlife is small, shy and rarely seen. Rampant development on the island translates into less and less habitat for wildlife. With nowhere to hide, snakes and other beasties are much more often to be found in our houses and gardens; there has been a significant rise in the number of sightings in the past few years. Usually this isn’t an issue as most of Bali’s serpents are harmless. But there are a few poisonous ones.

Please, please, please do not build on Bali’s rice fields. We are losing 1,000 hectares of irreplaceable agricultural land and wildlife habitat a year to development Snakes play an important role in Bali’s rice field ecology.

In areas of Tabanan where pythons have been hunted for their skins, rats decimate the rice crops. A single cobra can consume up to 5,000 rats in its lifetime and a python, with its slower metabolism, about half that number. So when snakes are killed by nervous humans or for the fashion industry, a vortex of destruction and loss begins. With too few natural predators to control them, the rapidly-breeding rats eat the rice, the farmer sells his rice field in despair and someone who hasn’t given much thought to sustainability builds a house on it. The remaining snakes and rats, deprived of their habitat, move right into the garden of the new villa.

Please, please, please do not build on Bali’s rice fields. We are losing 1,000 hectares of irreplaceable agricultural land and wildlife habitat a year to development. There are plenty of other places to put that villa.

It’s important to remember that none of Bali’s snakes are aggressive by nature and would definitely prefer not to meet you on a dark night either. They will not bite unless provoked.

If you step on a snake or put your hand near enough to startle it, of course it will bite you. But your chances of catching a mosquito-borne disease are much higher than being bitten by a snake in Bali.

Of Bali’s estimated 40 species of snake only the cobras, the kraits and the green pit viper are seriously venomous. The spitting cobra (Naja sputatrix) is quite common and can vary in colour from light to dark brown; its giant cousin the king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is rarely seen outside of West Bali.

The green pit viper (Cryptelytrops insularis) is widespread in Bali’s gardens, both in trees and on the ground, and its bite is the most common. The banded krait (Bungarus fasciatus) was very rarely spotted until recently. Its relative the blue krait (Bungarus candidus), which is actually black or banded black and white, is active only late at night. Many of the sea snakes are potentially lethal (sea kraits) but they seldom bite people (except two unwise tourists recently who tried to play with some).

I know several people who’ve been bitten by green pit vipers with results ranging from rather unpleasant to extremely

nasty, but no one died. Of the four green snakes in Bali this The best option, if course, is to avoid being bitten. Be aware one is readily identified by its triangular head, slender neck of your hands and feet in the garden. I often come across and dark red tail. green pit vipers while gardening, usually at close range, but they are never aggressive. Don’t reach into dark cupboards The krait is the most dangerous snake in Bali and or corners without looking first. Cut back vines and bushes can take you out of circulation permanently. Two Balinese near the house. Don’t try to catch or move a snake yourself, died three years ago in separate incidents; both call Ron or Peter whose numbers are below. were drunk and had provoked banded kraits to bite them.

“The biggest and most important Cobra bites seem very rare. Cobra venom in the eyes of people or pets should be immediately flushed repeatedly with clean water.

Bali’s beautiful gold, black and silver reticulated python is not venomous and this snake is dangerous only to small pets and chickens. Pythons should never be killed, as they eat many pests including rats.

It’s very difficult to monitor snakebites here. Most snake bites take place in rural areas and the victims go to a balian instead of a clinic; deaths are not reported. As far as I have been able to discover, there has been no case of death by snake bite in the expat community here for at least a decade.

The size of the snake is not important; even a newly hatched snake has fully developed venom glands although these snakes may not inject much venom when biting. The bite of a python is horse shoe-shaped while venomous snakes typically leave two fang marks.

Dr Steve Wignall, an American doctor working in Indonesia, shares the standard procedure for snakebite. “If you’re bitten, try to identify the snake; this is very helpful for the medical staff. Don’t panic. The affected limb should be immobilized (for cobra or krait bites, wrap in a tensor bandage to slow blood flow) or splinted (for viper bites). Then the person should go to the nearest medical facility which can transfer him/her to an experienced facility with stocks of antivenom. Never cut into the bite or try to suck out the poison. Ideally, snakebite in Bali would be treated as follows: the medical attendant will confirm what kind of snake was involved and when the bite took place, then check whether the snake released venom during the bite (some release little or no venom). Taking these elements into consideration, antivenom might then be administered.”

The only antivenom currently available in Bali is Anti Bisa Ular Polivalen produced by Biofarma in Java from the venom of Javanese kraits, vipers and cobras. Because Bali’s venomous snakes are different species, this antivenom may not be effective here. Not very helpful.

So where to go if you are bitten, exactly? Good question.

Sanglah Hospital cares for most snakebite envenomations in Bali. Siloam Hospital is seeking training for its medical staff and may become a snakebite management centre in the future.

message is simple. Leave them alone and they’ll leave you alone.”

Peter Nicholson, a reptile fancier who rescues snakes from human encounters, stated, “The biggest and most important message is simple. Leave them alone and they’ll leave you alone.” Peter, who founded Bali Reptile Rescue, has been rescuing serpents in distress for several decades now. “We release venomous snakes in West Bali National Park in an environment as close as we can find to their original location.

Rat snakes and small pythons are usually released close to rice fields where we’ve discussed their safety with farmers.

Large pythons we generally release in Tabanan deep in the parks.”

Bali Reptile Rescue offer a reptile awareness course in local schools and the children take the information home to the family compound. “We’re getting a lot more calls from local people and we consider that to be significant. Only a couple of years ago they would have killed the snake. But the kids are telling their parents to call us.”

Education is key. “I try to provide accurate and balanced information in the belief that the light of knowledge really does go some way to illuminating the darkness of ignorance,” says herpetologist Ron Lilley. “If everyone who lives here does a little bit of homework, has adequate snake proofing, keeps their gardens clean and premises tidy, keeps their eyes open, and then treats all snakes they do encounter with respect and keep their distance, they will be fine. Identification is then largely academic.”

UBUD VILLAGE JAZZ FESTIVAL 2013 Hard work and commitment pays off

The time has flown so fast. It’s been a year since we first decided to hold Ubud Village Jazz Festival 2013, which is due to take place at ARMA in Ubud between 9-10 August. We are overwhelmed, proud and thankful that we have finally proven ourselves and we feel that through determination and hard work all obstacles have been overcome. Beginning with the somewhat meagre capital accumulated by the core committee, which amounted so small, the hard work started last August (2012). Dedication combined with concerted efforts to find sponsors involving the creative community of Bali, have made Ubud Village Jazz Festival a community-based event, which, despite its continuing need for funding, at the same time thrives on the spirit of “Ngayah”, or communal effort, that makes all things possible and realisable.

Ubud Village Jazz Festival is now well-supported by many sponsors and we are certain to become an annual event. UVJF is an international jazz festival but with a unique Balinese touch, avoiding imitation of similar festivals in the big city and at the same time drawing followers of those festivals to Bali.

Ubud Village Jazz Festival 2013 will proudly present a host of incredible international jazz artists such as the Peter Beets Trio (Netherlands), Uwe Plath and Dian Pratiwi (Germany), Yokohama Association of Artists (Japan), Chika Asamoto and the No Black Tie All Stars (Japan-Mexico-Malaysia), Bali-based jazz musicians such as the Joe Rosenberg Trio and Jeko Fauzy, Balawan and the Gamelan Masters, the Yuri Mahatma Quartet, the Eco Sumarsono Project, the Ito Kurdhi Quartet, Koko Harsoe and his band, the Astrid Sulaiman trio, Gustu Brahmanta Rindik, and the Pramono Abdi Trio. We have also invited several well-known Indonesian jazz musicians such as the Dewa Budjana Quintet, Dwiki Dharmawan, Sandy Winarta,and the Jongens Quartet.

New talents in the Bali jazz world are in the spotlight at UVJF. The Underground Movement will showcase three bands, all comprising young, talented Balinese jazz musicians. We also have Jakarta-based young jazz musicians, the Openmind Quartet, members of which are majoring in music at the University of Pelita Harapan.

There will be expert-led workshops in traditional Balinese music (gamelan) as well as jazz workshops.

For the gamelan workshop, maestro Nyoman Windha will join the event. Meanwhile for the Jazz Master Class UVJF 2103 proudly present Mr. Ben Van Den Dungen from the Netherlands, a well-known jazz musician and professor at Rotterdam Conservatory. Workshops will be free to holders of UVJF 2013 tickets.

UVJF 2013 will also feature food stalls to pamper visitors’ stomachs, and there will also be a range of handicrafts on sale. There will stalls selling original products such as AHAY CUSTOM DRUM, an Indonesian manufacturer of high quality drums (AHAY is also a UVJF sponsor). Along with our main sponsors, Dekor Indonesia and Plaga Wine, AHAY will be partly responsible for the unique layout and decoration of the event. UVJF’s venue boasts not only impressive stage areas! Ticket holders will be able to partake of free wine between 7-10 pm daily, and stalls will be open from 3 pm to midnight every day.

Moving to ethical concerns, UVJF2013 has been declared a “green festival”, and will minimize the use of plastic, use energy-saving illumination only, and will conduct responsible waste management throughout the festival.

Ubud Village Jazz Festival is an evolution from several smaller local-scale jazz concerts held in SERAMBI ART ANTIDA during 2010-2012 under the name Jazz Rendez-Vous, and also other venues.

When SERAMBI ART ANTIDA was forced to close in 2012, organizers Anom Darsana and Yuri Mahatma wanted to contribute more to the world of performing arts in Bali in particular, and Indonesia in general, to establish and maintain an international jazz event in cooperation with musicians and event organizers in Bali.

The response and incredible support from colleagues from a wide range of backgrounds eventually led to the formation of the core committee of the Ubud Village Jazz Festival. Why Ubud? The district has a long history as the art hub of Bali, whose residents promote an appreciation of art that is not solely associated with commercial concerns. Ubud Village Jazz Festival intends to continue to support this vision of art as something to be preserved so that it can continue to be enjoyed by future generations, both here and abroad.

A duck, a curly head and whimsy: Welcome to Michael Leunig

By Shelley Kenigsberg

Open certain Australian newspapers on any given weekend and – as counterpoint to the inevitable swarm of political and economic bad news – you’ll be lucky enough to find a cartoon, or poem, sometimes a prayer, from the deeply talented and much-loved Australian cartoonist, poet, painter, philosopher and writer, Michael Leunig – a guest of this year’s Ubud Writers & Readers Festival.

The simple line drawings and words you’ll find, from this prolific producer of whimsy, comment and, invariably, joy, are likely to be witty or poignant views of life in modern times (certainly not just Australia) or current affairs. Whatever their topic, they are always a revealing perspective on the life of the soul in all its variations.

Michael Leunig’s professional career as a cartoonist began, he says, ‘because I’d sort of failed at everything else, really’.

Despite such self-deprecation, Leunig has made a significant contribution to the political, cultural and emotional life in the Australian and international media for more than forty years.

He rejected early on, the strict definition of ‘political cartoonist’, saying his approach is regressive, humorous, messy, mystical, primal and vaudevillian. Leunig’s drawings take a sparse, quivering line and show small figures with exaggerated features and teapots balanced on their heads, grotesquely curled hair, and many ducks. That particular attachment started early.

‘I always had animals. Once I bought a duckling at our weekly food market and it imprinted on me, used to follow me everywhere, even to school. Coming home, I’d turn the corner and the duck would see me and come running — not a dog but a duck! So I always got ducks after that. I like their conformation, they are playful and good–humoured and innocent with those rounded beaks; they aren’t as predatory as chooks (chickens in Australian).’

Possibly his most recognisable and enduring character is Mr Curly: Leunig’s version of ‘the every-person’. ‘He’s a small, wide-eyed creature with a huge nose; a naked angel, ageless and genderless; an innocent messenger-fool presenting no possible threat and therefore permitted to state any case or express any feeling shamelessly,’ says Leunig.

‘Years later I was able to interpret the meaning of the drawing with certitude... the man was most definitely me and the teapot, worn like a fool’s cap, symbolised warmth, nourishment and domestic familiarity... the duck represented feelings of primal freedom and playfulness… innocently I had drawn my impending departure from political cartooning, my flight to freedom.’

What gave the young Leunig his deep-set compassion, and the sensitivity that is so obvious in all his work? Or his wild and quirky individualism? Perhaps it was a terrible accident, when he was only eight. On a jaunt to the local rubbish tip with friends, Leunig had an accident that left him severely burnt on his legs and unable to walk for six months. The isolation and pain was a deeply formative experience. ‘Long periods of feeling cut off from the world, in a darkened room, in a cocoon of aloneness, pondering, hearing children playing and knowing that I was confined and these great bandages and all the pain, having to learn to walk again, were significant.’

DELTA DEWATA ‘In 1989, I was asked to contribute a cartoon to a new paper, The Sunday Age. At the time, I felt we were becoming too false and tricky, too complicated and cool and fashionable…

So instead of trotting out more cartoons, I started writing prayers. I don’t know the editor’s reaction – I think he was too busy and confused and I’d been able to establish just enough credibility that I might be on to something, that he let it go.’

Leunig’s already large collection of published cartoons and drawings was then expanded to hold his new books of poems and prayers — Common Prayer, The Prayer Tree and A Common Philosophy. These gave him the opportunity for another medium, the world of words, as a way to explore the idea of an innocent and sacred personal world and, ‘the realm of the unknown and mysterious, an old yearning. I wanted to say these words publicly…as another way of addressing the problems of our time, of our society, of our psyche, of people’s personal suffering. And I feel a sense of collective soul, too…I decided that finding and nurturing one’s soul is a social and political act as well as a personal one.’

What propelled this new expression? ‘In gaining an appreciation of the unsayable, I found a love of language…as I’ve got older I have become more respected of the resonance of words and words as symbols, as magic things, as sound, too. Words are sensuous. I love juxtaposing symbols – a duck, a clock, a moon. Just by putting them in relationship to each other a mood can be fostered, and similarly with words.’

‘What makes you feel so alone and strange is in fact normal.

There’s a lot of curliness in life and you can have a homecoming … So that’s the curl. It’s the curious, unique self and, if you find that, you find the connection to the whole world because the world is curious and unique and authentic at its best level.’

Now, anyone fortunate enough to walk through rice fields in and around any village in Bali, will likely come across the cheering sight of a bunch of busy ducks. Watching the duck herdsman walking his ‘team’ down a road is one of my favourite Bali images. And I trust Leunig will like these ducks too – given his early attachment to the birds it seems likely. It could even, with luck on our side, provide the inspiration for a new series.

Leunig’s appearance at this year’s UWRF will be the chance for those who already know and love him to revel in his deeply engaging blend of insight, humour, deep political convictions and compassion. And, for those yet to discover this treasure (he was declared an Australian Living Treasure by the National Trust of Australia in 1999!), it’s the chance to be enchanted.

You’ll come away with a smile, a deep laugh, a tear or the relief from a deep sigh or all of it, but it’s bound to give you a new way to see the world, in small and big ways.

UBUD JAZZ FESTIVAL AT BRIDGES

The Ubud Village Jazz Festival will hold a postfestival matinée concert at B r i d g e s Restaurant on Sunday August 11, featuring the Yokohama Association of Artists Orchestra.

This group of top Japanese musicians plays an eclectic mix that is their own style but has jazz as its base. YAA uses both well-known modern instruments and Asian ethnic instruments, to create a new type of fusion.

The transformed Riverside Dining room has a temporary concert set-up for the 12-3pm performance. There is no cover charge, but guests are expected to spend a minimum of 85,000rp on Bridges’ tempting tapas, a “festival cocktail” or other drinks. No hardship, I assure you. All in all, a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, pleasing all the senses.

TAKSU NAIL ARTIST There were so many artists’ b r u s h e s arrayed on the table that I thought I’d come to a painting class.

But no, this Balinese beautician, Katherine, just likes painting exquisite little flowers on her clients’ nails.

Taksu Spa’s latest specialist has spent the past seven years in a big salon in Seminyak and now has old clients trekking up to Ubud for their manicures and pedicures.

Extensive range of New, Used, Rare and Out of Print Books.

Used Books returnable for 50% refund. Good books at good prices.

Eat, Drink, Read and Lounge at: Ganesha in Biku Jalan Petitenget 888, Kerobokan

NEW Bookshop and Reading Room Ganesha in Sanur Jalan Danau Tamblingan 42, Sanur

Books for Bali Project (est. 2004) A special project to support literacy, learning and reading for pleasure in the local community. We donate books to local schools and libraries. Check in the store or on the website for more details.

GANESHA COMES TO SANUR: Jl Danau Tamblingan 42, Sanur C/U/G-22 August 12

Katherine’s “treatment room” is a delightful little bale in Taksu’s “hidden valley”, with a view of Buddha statues, a little temple, and the dangling vines from the trees above.

Bridges Restaurant is at the western end of Jl Raya Ubud.

The Jazz Festival runs August 8-9 at Arma Resort; www. ubudvillagejazzfestival.com.

Ask Taksu about their special offers this month. A free mani or pedi with any 90-minute massage at regular prices, a special discount mani/pedi for daughters from 6 to 16 who come with Mum for a treatment.

ONLY A BAKER’S DAUGHTER But oh, how she needed the dough. (Sorry, couldn’t help myself.)

Book by phone 0361 971490 or reservations@taksuspa. com. Taksu is at the southern end of Jalan Goutama.

MERDEKA! Aussies aren’t given to nationalist fervor, but I appreciate the Indonesians’ pride in their independence. Perhaps you’ve noticed? Maybe the latest traffic jam was a long trail of school kids chanting as they march up and down your road. They are all practicing for the big procession on August 17, Indonesia’s national day, honoring the 68th anniversary of their freedom from Dutch colonialism.

Seriously, three cheers for Taksu Restaurant’s talented new pastry chef, Pak Wayan, who rolls his doughs night and day, to make us sumptuous traditional breads and glutenfree desserts.

To complement a main course, guests can choose a French multi-grain or walnut and corn pepper baquette, a slice of fresh whole wheat, Bavarian dark, 100% rye or Sovital muesli bread, or a ciabatta or foccacia with olive oil and sun-dried tomatoes. Then you can totally justify a healthy cake or two; it’s all officially yum!

There are very few good bakeries in Ubud, so it’s great that we can also order breads (a day or two ahead) to take home.

ART AS FILM, FILM AS ART

Three excellent films remain in Blackbeach Restaurant’s “DocArt” documentary series, each presents a different perspective on life through art.

Locals and tourists will crowd onto Ubud’s football field on Jl Monkey Forest, to watch anniversary games including the antics of young boys and men as they attempt to climb two impossibly tall poles, smothered with ghastly looking black grease, to claim sweets and other prizes perched on the platform at the top.

Everyone is in good humour, nobody has any idea of the celebration program’s schedule, and in fact no one even cares. It’s just a carefree day strolling around the field on the bumpy, probably muddy, grass. Usually, starting at sunset, there are some decent Indonesian bands, while you sip an ale or juice at any of the cafes, bars and lounges around the edge of the stadium.

Blackbeach is at the top of Jl Hanoman; admission is free.

THURSDAY NGOBROL People often talk round in circles about environmental issues, with not enough information or will to make a difference.

But if you join the Thursday Ngobrol (Chat) sessions at Kaltimber, you’ll be chatting with – and hearing from – fascinating, hard-working, well-informed people who are making things change for the better, here in Bali.

In early August Olivier Pouillon, co-founder of Bali Recycling, spoke at the first of these “Green Living Conversations”, with simple, practical thoughts on how we can safely dispose of our broken TVs, spent batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, used containers of paint, and hazardous chemicals.

They’ll be happening every Thursday, 5-7pm, at Kaltimber’s showroom in Batuan. Email admin@kaltimber.com for directions and more info.

Without Advertising a Terrible Thing Happens ................

TRANQUIL WORKSHOPS Leading a weeklong workshop in Bali can be stressful. So trainers and workshop planners should consider Ubud’s Satyagraha Ashram, where they can rent the founder’s villa - one of Bali’s finest private bamboo structures - as their own personal hideaway in between training sessions.

O n W e d n e s d a y, August 14, the uplifting f i l m “ Wa s t e l a n d ” shows how art and the beauty of the human spirit can transform even the garbage of Rio de Janerio.

On August 21, “Exit through the Gift Shop” shows footage of some of the world’s most infamous graffiti artists at work, including Banksy, Shepard Fairey and Invader. Finally on August 28, the movie “Passione” describes the musical roots and traditions of Naples and their influence on the rest of the world.

C/U/G-26 June13

The villa is close to the Ashram’s yoga space, an open-sided wantilan that is great for both spiritual and dance events and traditional

nothing

team building courses.

Feedback from guests is universally positive. As one client said, “Satyagraha is pure, peaceful and filled with love.

Everywhere you look there is something sacred to discover.”

The property is very well taken care of, with everything clean and neat; the wantilan easily holds 30 people for an active class, with holy Hindu sculptures, gently trickling fountains and floral mandalas adding atmosphere.

Workshop space is for rent on hourly, weekly and monthly basis. Email: info@lilabamboovilla.com.

BEAUTY IN THE TROPICS NATURALLY Facials and Hair

By Sari

Living in the tropics and being exposed to a hot sun on a daily basis, can take its toll on your skin and hair, unless you take care to protect yourself and prevent any damage. In part one I talked about taking care of your body and combating sunburn. In this segment I’ll give you some useful home-made recipes to keep your face and hair in beautiful condition. All of the recipes use natural products that you can find in your kitchen, are easy to make and very effective.

Facials One of the best beauty treatments you can give yourself is a facial.

I give myself a facial once a week, varying my choice of products depending on the condition of my skin. The result is, people often comment on my good skin. Even when I go to a professional skin care clinic, they say the same. I don’t have blackheads and my skin isn’t dry. Unless you have severe acne, regular facials will improve your skin dramatically and give you beautiful glowing skin. If your skin is in bad condition, you may need 2 or 3 facials a week for a month to restore the skin to good health. Then, you can reduce the number of facials to once a week and eventually once or twice a month. But for me, I prefer to give myself a facial every week for optimal results.

The benefits of a facial include: Thoroughly cleansing the face Removing blackheads and whiteheads Removing the dead skin, which stimulates the production of new skin cells Increasing the blood circulation to regenerate production of collagen and elastin Keeping the skin healthy and firm Providing nourishment to the skin depending on the skin’s type of mask used.

Here’s how to give yourself a professional and relaxing facial. You can create your own custom facial by combining a different cleanser, toner, scrub or mask.

SUPPLIES To be sucessful with facials, it’s worth investing in some equipment. You should make sure you have the following: Blender Juicer (if available) Small tea strainer Large bowl for warm water Facial cotton 2 Facial sponges or facecloths Tissue Small bowls for products Facial brush (available in a beauty supply shop) 2 Small hand towels Small rubbish bin Sharp knife and mixing spoons Balinese Tropical Fruit Facial The natural fruits contain vitamins A, B, C & E and minerals which provide nourishment for the skin. Honey softens and heals the skin, being a natural antibiotic. After a facial like this, your face will glow with radiant health.

Note: Choose the fruit best suited to your skin type for the mask.

All other ingredients are used for the cleanser, toner and scrub.

Ingredients: For all skin types ½ cucumber 20 nuts kemiri or candle nuts. (Almonds may be substituted) 5 ml / 1 tsp honey 3 sticks lemongrass 237 ml/ 1 cup boiled water Mask ingredients: Choose the fruit best suited for your skin type 57 gram/ ½ cup papaya or pineapple (for normal skin) ½ banana (for sensitive skin) 1 egg yolk (for sensitive skin mask) ½ ripe avocado (for dry skin) Preparation Toner - Wash and peel the cucumber, then put into a blender or juicer. Strain off the pulp. Save 2 thin slices to cover your eyes later. You can store the cucumber juice in the fridge and use as a daily toner which is refreshing and gentle on the skin.

Chop the lemongrass and steep in boiled water for 20 minutes.

Cool and strain, keeping the water.

Cleanser and scrub - Place candlenuts or almonds in a blender with the lemongrass water and blend until it makes a paste. It will turn a milky colour. Strain off some of the liquid to use as a milky

cleanser and use the paste as a scrub.

Mix honey with the milky nut cleanser. You can store in the fridge to use anytime. It will keep up to a week.

Mask for normal skin. Papaya or pineapple for normal skin. Peel the fruit and put in blender until you have a thick paste for the mask.

Mask for dry skin. ½ ripe avocado for dry skin. Scoop out the avocado and mash or put in the blender until smooth.

Mask for sensitive skin. ½ Banana. Mash or put in blender until smooth. Add an egg white and honey.

Banana Grapefruit Mask This yummy facial mix is good enough to eat and is very nutritious for the skin. Bananas are loaded with potassium, zinc, magnesium, iodine, iron, vitamins A,B, E and F – great nourishment for the skin!

Grapefruit juice is high in vitamin C, which fights anti-oxidants and stimulates natural collagen production while honey heals the skin.

Ingredients: 1 /2 ripe banana 15 ml/ 1 tbsp grapefruit juice 15 ml / 1 tbsp dark honey

Caution: Before using on the face, test these fruit products behind your ear. Wait 20 minutes to check for any reaction.

If none, go ahead.

Put the honey in a small metal or glass bowl floating in hot water until the honey becomes runny but not too hot. Mash the banana in another bowl and then add the grapefruit juice and honey, blending until you have a smooth paste.

With a facial brush apply the paste over your face, including the neck but avoiding around the eyes. Lie down for 20 minutes and relax. Then remove the mask with tepid water, ending with a splash of cold water. Pat dry and apply a cucumber toner and moisturizer.

Steps. Choose the fruit mask for your skin type.

1. Use the milky cleanser with cotton pads with circular movements and rinse off.

2. Apply the scrub and massage in circular motions for a few minutes. Then remove.

3. Apply cucumber toner with cotton pad.

4. Dip a small hand towel into hot water (careful it’s not too hot to touch). Wring out the excess water and wrap the towel around your face, leaving your nose open to breathe. Leave on two minutes to steam the pores.

5. If you wish to extract blackheads, now is the time. Use a tissue wrapped over your fingertips and squeeze very gently.

6. Apply a few drops of olive or coconut oil and smooth over your face, and then continue with a face massage for 5 minutes using circular and upward movements.

7. Remove excess oil with the toner. Pat the skin dry with a tissue.

8. Apply the fruit mask and place slices of cucumber over your eyes and relax for 20 minutes. Remove the mask with warm water and facecloths or facial sponges.

9. Apply toner, and then blot your skin with a fresh tissue to dry.

10. Apply moisturizer.

Here’s some alternative recipes good for all skin types.

Nourishing Cleanser This creamy cleanser is very nourishing for dry skin. The honey, egg yolk and avocado are all hydrating food for the skin.

Ingredients: 1 egg yolk 30 gram/ 2 tbsp of mashed avocado 15 ml/ 1 tbsp honey Distilled water Mash a ripe avocado into a smooth paste and add an egg yolk and honey. Add distilled water until you have a creamy consistency.

Apply with fingertips over the skin and gently massage over the face and neck. Remove with a warm wet cloth. You can refrigerate this cleanser for up to 5 days.

Soda Delight scrub This quick and easy to make facial scrub is great to remove dead skin cells and moisture at the same time. You can use it every day if you like. You can make a larger portion and keep in the fridge to use anytime.

Ingredients: 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise 1 tablespoon of baking soda Mix the baking soda and mayonnaise together in a small bowl.

Then using your fingertips apply to your face and neck and massage with circular movements for a few minutes. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry. Follow with a skin toner to remove any excess oil and apply a moisturizer.

Rosewater – all skin types You can save money by making your own rose-water toner, which has wonderful astringent properties.

Ingredients: 1 cup rose petals 475 ml/ 2 cups boiling water Place the rose petals in a bowl and pour two cups of boiling water over the top. Cover and steep until the liquid is cool. Strain and then squeeze out the liquid from the rose petals to extract the precious oil.

You can refrigerate this toner for up to 1 month

Hair Treatment If you live in the tropics, your hair is continually exposed to sun, sea or swimming pool water. This all takes its toll on your hair.

Like many people in Bali, my house uses ground water, which in many places has very hard water that really dries out my hair.

The following recipes are wonderful anytime to get your hair back in soft shiny condition.

I have learned a lot from the Indonesian women about how to keep my hair healthy and shiny like they do. The Balinese women have been using coconuts for centuries to keep their hair soft and shiny. Sometimes, before I jump in the swimming pool, I drench my hair in virgin coconut oil to protect it from the chorine and leave my hair soft after I shampoo it following swimming. Take a little lesson from the Balinese and try these wonderful hair treatments.

Balinese Coconut milk Coconut milk (santan) is made by mixing grated coconut with water and squeezing out the milky water. Santan is used in curries and also makes a great hair conditioner and body softening lotion.

If a fresh coconut is unavailable you can use a small carton of coconut cream, which can be mixed with a little boiling water.

Drench your hair in the cream, then clip it up and cover it with a shower cap. Leave it on for at least half an hour. The longer you leave it on, the softer your hair will be. Shampoo and condition as usual.

Aloe Vera Hair Drench If swimming is part of your regular routine, you’re sure to have noticed the damage to your bathing suit, especially if there is chorine in the pool. The same damage is happening to your hair, as well. Try this treatment regularly to keep damage to a minimum.

Ingredients: 1 egg 15 ml/ 1 tbsp of olive oil 15 ml of aloe vera gel Blend the egg, olive oil and aloe vera gel in a blender or food processor until smooth. Spread evenly through your hair, leave it on for 10 minutes, and then rinse well. For the best results use this treatment weekly.

Green Hair Rescue for Blonds For Blonds Only. If you enjoy swimming and your hair turns green because the pH balance of the pool is affected by excess chorine, here’s a quick and easy remedy.

Ingredients: 170 gr/ small tin tomato paste Shower cap Smother your hair with half of a small tin of tomato paste for short to medium length hair or a full tin for long hair. Cover your hair with a shower cap and relax for 15 minutes then shampoo and condition your hair as usual. Voila` the green is gone! Bright, shiny, blond hair again. You can use the left over tomato paste for spaghetti sauce.

I hope you enjoy making and using these simple recipes to maintain a smooth soft face and soft shiny hair.

PARADISE...

IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH RABIES….Again!

News on rabies has been very quiet this year tempting thoughts that we might actually have beaten it. Then a few weeks ago rabies hit the headlines again. A rabid dog in Ubud had bitten no less than 5 people. Clearly we are not “over it”. Who knows how many other dogs were bitten by the rabid dog until the poor creature was destroyed.

It’s now over 5 years since our first cases of rabies in Bali were documented in this current outbreak. With few documented cases over the past 6 months complacency has set in and many are forgetting to boost rabies vaccines for both themselves and their pets. (If you have already been vaccinated don’t forget you will need a booster between one and three years and then another at 5 years).

I am shocked as to how many people are completely unaware of this problem. Aside of the total ignorance of this fatal disease, some of the comments, half-truths, and downright silly myths that I hear would be funny if the disease were not so deadly.

Comments that I commonly hear are: I was bitten by a dog but it is a pet and never leaves the home, so it couldn’t possibly have rabies, right?

Wrong. There is nothing to stop outside creatures (eg cats) coming on to your property and biting your pet. Even if your pet has had the rabies vaccine, TAKE NO CHANCES. Have the post-exposure treatment anyway.

I was playing with a puppy that chewed my fingers while we were playing, but that’s not dangerous is it?

Yes it is dangerous. Puppies (especially street puppies) are just as likely to carry the virus as an adult dog.

I was bitten by a cat, so that’s ok. Only dog bites are dangerous aren’t they?

NO. Rabies can be transmitted by any mammal.

Realistically any mammals that co-habitate with humans are most likely to pass on rabies to people. On this Island, infected bats, monkeys, dogs, or cats present the greatest risk to humans.

If I can get post-exposure treatment for bites, why should I bother with the vaccine?

Your post exposure treatment will be a lot easier if you have had the pre-exposure vaccine. Also consider that we regularly run out of the vaccine in Bali. Sanglah hospital alone issues thousands of rabies post exposure vaccines every week. When the supply runs out you may have to wait for treatment after being bitten, and this is obviously not the ideal situation.

The dog that bit me was not sick, and still seems to be quite healthy even though it bit me days ago.

The incubation period for rabies may be weeks or even months. Get the post exposure treatment anyway even of the animal that bit you seems well.

By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

I hate needles so I think I’ll just clean the wound and hope for the best.

Have you ever seen anyone die of rabies? Its nasty stuff!

I’ll get the treatment if I start to get any symptoms.

Only a few (two as far as I have read) have survived rabies once the symptoms have manifested in the documented history of the disease worldwide.

Once the signs and symptoms of rabies start to appear, there is no treatment and the disease is almost always fatal. Never wait for symptoms to occur after being bitten before seeking treatment.

Sunset Road, Boulevard 105, Seminyak - Kuta Website: www.balibugarmassage.baliklik.com Tel: (0361) 7877288 Email: balibugarmassage@ymail.com NC/He/I-06 March 13

The rabies Vaccine is incredibly expensive and painful.

Wrong. The rabies vaccine is reasonably priced at about Rp 150,000 / dose and the course consists of three doses.

If you are bitten after you have had the vaccine you will need a further 2 doses of the vaccine. If you are bitten without being vaccinated you need 5 shots of the vaccine PLUS the immunoglobulin (RIG) which is incredibly expensive and painful!

The pre and post vaccination schedules do differ, even though we can use the same vaccine for pre and post exposure treatment.

Treatment will also differ according to the category of exposure. (Category I: touching or feeding suspect animals, but skin is intact ,Category II: minor scratches without bleeding from contact, or licks on broken skin , Category III: one or more bites, scratches, licks on broken skin, or other contact that breaks the skin; or exposure to bats ). The vaccine is also not to be confused with the immunoglobulin. A vaccine will encourage your body to build its own immunity whereas an immunoglobulin is instant protection that is effective immediately. The immunoglobulin is difficult to get and extremely expensive, so it is usually reserved for post exposure of known rabid animal bites. So with these and other factors taken into consideration, the post exposure treatment for suspected rabies exposure is complex. So if your treatment differs from what you have heard another person’s treatment to be, then there may be good reason for it.

DVD

Spring Breakers In a much more innocent time, in the 1960 movie ‘Where the Boys Are’, actresses Yvette Mimieux, Barbara Nichols, Paula Prentiss, and Connie Francis played young college girls, who headed to Florida for the Spring Vacation, hoping to find true romance. How the times have changed! In Harmony Korine’s new and revealing movie, ‘Spring Breakers’, Rachel Korine, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, and Vanessa Hudgens play young college girls, who head to Florida for the Spring Vacation, hoping to find very different thrills. Harmony Korine’s movie is an amazing mix of an extended musical video-clip, ‘slasher’ movie, and soft-core pornography. It is fresh and contemporary, and it is a confident piece of modern film-making. The movie also presents an extraordinary depiction of America’s current young hedonistic and ‘feel-good’ generation. James Franco gives a fantastic performance as one of the boys the girls meet during their Spring Vacation.

Trance During an art heist one of the thieves is knocked unconscious, however, when he wakes up, he can’t remember where he has hidden a stolen painting. The rest of the gang suspect that he might be trying to deceive them, but, they are willing to recruit a hypnotherapist, who might be able to shed some light on where the painting is stashed.

If you are willing to believe that hypnotherapy can be a powerful instrument, then, you will probably accept Danny Boyle’s latest film on face value. Still, the movie is rather convoluted and somewhat difficult to follow. All-the-same, like most of Danny Boyle’s movies, such as ‘Trainspotting’, ‘The Beach’, and ‘Slum Dog Millionaire’, his new one is stylish and chic, while it also shows superb production values.

Redemption After a traumatic tour of duty in Afghanistan, an English soldier returns to London to live on the streets as a homeless war veteran. However, with his particular skills, he quickly finds employment as a ‘heavy’ in London’s criminal underworld. Eventually, the soldier is to find personal redemption through a relationship with a charity working catholic nun. Writer and director Steven Knight presents Super-Action-Star Jason Statham with a challenging role. Jason actually has to act, and, this is quite a stretch for him. To his credit, Jason pulls off his daunting task rather well. Never-the-less, fans of Jason Statham need not be alarmed. Jason still manages to tally up an impressive number of dead bodies, which he dispatches with much panache.

Siberian Education This Italian movie, directed by Gabriele Salvatores, is very reminiscent of Federico Fellini’s 1974 classic ‘Amarcord’, however, while Fellini looked at life in a small Italian town, Salvatores looks at life in a small Siberian town. Also, like Fellini’s ‘Amarcord’, Salvatores’ ‘Siberian Education’ is really nothing more than a collection of anecdotes charmingly strung together. Still, though it might be very cold in Siberia, there is a lot of warmth at the heart of this movie. Like all good Italian movies, this remarkable one is just stunning to look at. John Malkovich stars as the wise old village patriarch.

At Any Price Starting off rather leisurely, this movie looks at the relationship between an American farmer and his son. The farmer wants his son to continue farming their land, but, the young man has plans of his own, and he hopes to become a professional racing-car driver. However, events are to occur which totally change the momentum of the movie, and it becomes an absorbing character study. Ramin Bahrani’s movie is also saved by some fine acting by Dennis Quaid and Zac Efron, who is emerging as more than a teenage heartthrob.

Just Like a Woman This is another movie which is reminiscent of an earlier classic. The movie being echoed this time is Ridley Scott’s ‘Thelma & Louise’ (1991). In Rachid Bouchareb’s ‘Just Like a Woman’, two women are escaping from bad relationships, and they find their own emancipation while taking a road trip. Sienna Miller and Golshifteh Farahani

Diary

by Mr. Robet

give good performances, but, there is nothing new in this movie. It has all been said much better before.

Passion It is hard to believe that Brian De Palma, who has brought us such incredible movies as ‘Carrie’ (1976), ‘Dressed to Kill’ (1980), and ‘Carlito’s Way’ (1993), amongst many, could make such a bad movie. The script, involving sexual harassment in the workplace, is just ridiculous. The directorial style, featuring very old-fashioned split-screen effects, is just uninspired, and, the really horrendous acting, particularly from Noomi Rapace, is just appalling.

The Hangover, Part III Yeah, yeah, yeah. This time the boys don’t get drunk and almost miss a wedding, but, they do get involved with finding some stolen gold bullion. Actors Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, and Ken Jeong must, by now, be sick to death of these characters, and, like us, are probably glad that this particular movie franchise has finally come to a well-deserved end.

Evil Dead Why on earth anyone would want to re-make Sam Raimi’s 1983 cult-classic ‘The Evil Dead’ is up for investigation, however, New Zealand director Fede Alvarez seems to think that it’s important to do so. He manages to make his new version even much more gory than the vastly gruesome original movie.

ParacelsusAsia

Be the Best You Can Be….

Aspiration, Achievable Goal or Lifelong Cross?

From the relatively safe vantage point of late middle age, while tipping his hat to Saint and Diva, ParacelsusAsia takes a look at how we treat ourselves in our passage through life and thinks it healthy to go easy on ourselves, be we zealots or Polyannas, and introduces us to his Franciscan friend Brother Ass. A wise man once said to me “No judgments, no comparisons, and give up the need to understand”. To which I immediately responded “Define judgment”. All present cracked up.

They thought it was just me being characteristically legalistic. “No, no” I persisted, “what about discrimination?”. They just laughed louder. Too many of them knew me, you see, and what they saw as my capacity for self-deceit and selfserving confusion. Of course I don’t think that’s entirely fair, that is until a self-development guru once asked me the pro forma response to someone like me who’s unwilling to respond to a loaded question. “If you did know, what would you say?”, he shot back meaningfully.

What this is, is a roundabout way of saying that I find the first statement to be profound, the self-development guru’s question a classic group control manipulation, albeit a helpful mechanism, and…. I am still unclear decades later as to where discrimination, tasteful not racial, veers off into judgment.

The answer I suppose, to paraphrase yet another telling response, this time to pornography, is “you know it, when you see it”. Which brings us to self-knowledge, which may not be the answer to life but is what life is all about.

Health & Persona It may not be true for everyone but I reckon for most of us the first 40 years of our lives is for the living of it at full tilt, or the fear and avoidance of it, as the case may be. Whichever the case, somewhere along the way we crash and are redeemed, quite possibly more than once. It matters not a jot whether redemption comes as epiphany or incrementally. We try and make sense of our lives and who we actually are. That usually involves forsaking gurus and dogma and heading off into uncharted territory. A good teacher can help, but essentially it’s up to us.

In all this spare a thought for your body, which is supposed to support us through the process. St Francis of Assisi referred to the body as “Brother Ass” and I don’t think the saint, who after all loved animals, was being dismissive in the Ambrosian or Thomist sense. But, bearing in mind that we are made by our Creator in His image and that it was the lowly ass that bore our Saviour into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, not to mention transporting more Popes than I can recall until the advent of the Pope-a-Mobile, it was more that St. Francis had a grounded approach to the natural and the feminine that resonates more today than it did for ‘Mother’ Church of the day.

So, as someone I know a bit about and love, but don’t always admire, is fond of remarking “look after Brother Ass, or you may find yourself on your Base Chakra with a bump”.

Looking after Brother Ass So how do we do we look after Brother Ass? Well, when we’re young I don’t suggest we need give it too much thought, except to survive the process. Those who have a mind to it will do so by inclination, needing only to inform themselves sufficiently. Those of us more into abusing the body in the many ways available to us rather than caring for it, will do so anyway whatever anyone says. In which case the trick is to survive long enough until you do realize you are not indestructible and might actually want to stick around.

The great thing about the second half of life, once you spot it (not everyone does and some people don’t need to, because they’ve already got it) is that you need never, ever be bored again. For once you understand that the proper study of man is man (that means man, woman [natch] and Cosmos) you are launched on a course that may be many things, but seldom bored. One of the things that inevitably comes into focus, whether you want it to or not, is the vehicle that is to bear this fascinating Self around for the remainder of your allotted span. And the length of that span is in most cases pretty much up to you.

I’ve banged on in previous columns about the chronic and degenerative conditions that kill us before our time.

Apart from the genetic and plain bad luck the causes are societal (in which I include environmental) and life style.

These are things we can do something about. In fact, if we believe in public health at all, it is something we should take aboard as a moral but not legal obligation.

In just one para the ParacelsusAsia regimen is: Never obsess, temper excess; eat real food but do not diet; exercise effectively a minimum of three times p/week and not overdo it (more on that another time); supplement only where you need to; make an integrative MD your GP; when you got a big problem, don’t muck about, you need Big Medicine. Lastly, and the most unpalatable bit: the older you get the more you need to harden up on yourself. That in essence is it.

Beyond Persona But of course there’s a lot more to it than that. What about self-image?

Now here’s a place where you’ve really got to forgive and accept yourself, not to mention face reality and know how much you really want to defy gravity, if I may put it like that.

For some, this is the start of the path to self-knowledge….

C/He/I-29 May 13

Maria Callas is the archetype of the female shooting star.

With an achingly beautiful voice she soared and teetered between sublimity and disaster for a brief moment, she reinvented opera as drama and herself from teenage frump to beauty and iconic diva, before sacrificing herself for love to a powerful man, himself a Greek archetype of male power driven to collect the iconic feminine. She never really got over it and died quite young at 60, sad and alone. His punishment to die a laughing stock.

Question is, would she have been happier playing second fiddle to Renata Tebaldi, who had the better voice and a longer career as a classically well-rounded soprano and finding contentment in opera, but not singing it, and surrounded by an adoring husband and family? Quite probably, but we would all have been the losers by it.

Some people are driven by their dæmon, their vanity, their art or whatever it is to re-create themselves. Others of us try in our own much smaller ways and fail. Sometimes the sacrifice is involuntary, sometimes it is not. In which case, is the sacrifice worth it?

Sometimes failure itself is the lesson we need. That’s when it helps to know ourselves as we are. To defy gravity magnificently à la Callas or know yourself sufficiently to be as good as you can be, without selling yourself short on the one hand or beating up on yourself on the other. Good luck with that though…, you need to know it’s a process and it doesn’t end.

Local News UK Woman Rachel Dougall Describes Yearlong Ordeal in Bali Prison A British woman has described her ordeal in Bali’s notorious Kerobokan Prison, the same jail where convicted Australian drug smuggler Schapelle Corby and the Bali Nine are serving time.

Rachel Dougall said she suffered savaged beatings within days of beginning a yearlong sentence for drug-related crimes.

Dougall, 40, told the Daily Mail that she had a nervous breakdown after being locked up with drug addicts, HIVpositive inmates and sexually aggressive lesbians in a tiny cell at the prison, nicknamed “Hotel K”.

and one woman were convicted in 2005 of attempting to traffic 8.3 kilos of heroin from Bali to Australia. Two of them, Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan, still face death sentences and have appealed to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono for clemency.

Dougall was arrested after fellow Briton Lindsay Sandiford was caught at Bali’s airport on flight from Bangkok carrying a suitcase full of cocaine on May 19 last year.

The 57-year-old grandmother’s case made headlines after the judge ordered she be put to death via a firing squad.

“Most of the women were on drugs virtually every day,” she said. “If you had money the guards would get you anything you wanted. Inmates in the men’s prison next door even paid prostitutes for overnight visits.”

Following her arrest Sandiford told police she had been forced to move the drugs after threats were made to her family by a drugs cartel. She implicated Dougall and two other men, one of them Dougall’s partner, 44-year-old Julian Ponder, as her accomplices.

The women’s unit of Kerobokan where Dougall was locked up also houses Corby, who was sentenced to 20 years in 2005 after she was caught trying to smuggle 4.2 kilos of cannabis into the country in her boogie-board bag. She has always maintained her innocence.

The other three were handed lesser sentences. Sandiford’s case has led to widespread outrage about Indonesia’s harsh sentencing regime.

According to friends and family, Corby’s experience in the prison has led to her developing a mental illness. Since a judge ruled her sentence cut to 15 years, leading to the possibility of parole, she is reportedly doing much better.

She is due to get out 2017.

Also held there are the so-called Bali Nine. The eight men

However, Dougall claimed to the Mail that Sandiford was “pure evil” and “not the innocent she would like people to believe”.

“Everyone thinks she’s this poor naive granny, but she’s not. She doesn’t deserve any sympathy; I’ve been told by many people in Bali and Britain that she’s been bringing drugs into the country for 25 years.” (July 29th 2013)

Investors Warned of Bali Property Bubble Luxury property prices in 2012 jumped in Indonesia more than anywhere else in the world.

The capital, Jakarta, saw an astonishing increase of 38% in luxury property prices from 2011, and Bali came in a respectable second at 20%. However Dwi Pranoto, Head of Bank Indonesia’s Regional Office III for Bali and Nusa Tenggara, has warned that rising property prices across the island are becoming a cause for concern.

“Property prices in Bali have been increasing significantly from year to year. Therefore we have to continue to be wary of heightened property prices, especially in southern Bali,” he stated on Wednesday (22/7).

Pranoto added that the price of property in Bali is often overstated, and does not reflect the true value, often due to the activity of brokers. A similar situation has occurred in Jakarta, South Sulawesi, Batam and Riau he said.

“Actually, the price of land in Bali is much less in real terms,” Pranoto stated. Consequently, Bank Indonesia is currently preparing a ‘loan-to-value’ (LTV) policy for property finance, which will be effective from September 2013.

In Bali, development can be seen pretty much everywhere along the southern coast, with old buildings bulldozed to make way for new commercial properties, among them glittering cafes and restaurant ventures to cater to the everburgeoning market of wealthy clientele.

In the up-market beachfront Canggu area, Echo Beach is now home to an InterContinental hotel and the Sea Sentosa project, a resort that calls itself “the benchmark for unparalleled luxury”.

A proposed Sunset Road extension is planned to link the capital, Denpasar, with Bali’s more western beaches and will open up real estate in those areas.

Recent infrastructure improvements on the island such as the new Benoa toll road project and the development of Ngurah Rai Airport have also been a factor in the property value increase.

Meanwhile, entrepreneurs in Bali have urged the government to review its zoning policies as land for public facilities is in danger of being squeezed out by touristrelated development.

The Chairman of Indonesia Bali Real Estate, Dewa Putu Selawa, said the zoning regulations should make it clear where development can or cannot take place. Furthermore, he added, the government, as regulator, should clearly identify where sites for essential public facilities, like hospitals or centers of higher education, should be located.

With regard to foreign investors in the property market, Bali still needs a “sparring partner”, Selawa said, which has the effect of galvanizing the market and keeps local entrepreneurs on their toes. He qualified that with a remark that people perceived as “carpetbaggers” should not be allowed to disrupt the market.

“Do not let any foreigner who obviously does not belong in Bali manipulate the market. The presence of foreign investors should not disadvantage this country,” he said.

He added that local entrepreneurs often do not realize that sites they might purchase are subject to tight restrictions on building development as zoning regulations require them to remain as predominantly open land.

Meanwhile, the tourist industry has been putting pressure on the government to identify areas where tourist-related or residential development, as well as construction of government buildings, can take place, in order to improve the business climate. (July 22nd 2013)

Indonesia Questions Why Cafe has Nazi-Themed Decor Authorities in the West Java provincial capital of Bandung, plan to ask a restaurant owner to explain his reasons for opening a Nazi-themed cafe that has sparked controversy among locals and tourists. Soldatenkaffee includes a red wall of Nazi-related memorabilia, including a large flag with the swastika and a giant picture of Adolf Hitler. Its wait staff dresses in SS, or Schutzstaffel, military uniforms, and can be seen posing in front of the cafe on its Facebook page.

Ayi Vivananda, deputy mayor of Bandung, said a letter was sent Thursday (18/7) summoning cafe owner Henry Mulyana to meet with officials to discuss his motives for opening the cafe and whether his objective was to incite racial hatred. “Those symbols are internationally recognized to represent violence and racism,” Vivananda said.

Mulyana says his objective was not to breed hatred.

Instead, he said he wanted to decorate his restaurant with Nazi symbols to attract customers. He also denied being pro-Nazi or supporting Hitler, responsible for the deaths of some 6 million Jews during World War II. “I’m just a Mulyana said.

“I have a right businessman, not notaapolitician,” politician,” Mulyana said.

“I have a to design my restaurant with anything that attracts people right to design my restaurant with anything that attracts to come.toI’m sure I’m thatsure I’m not laws.”any (July 18th people come. thatviolating I’m notany violating laws.”

2013)18th 2013) (July Villagers Flee as Indonesian Volcano Spews Ash Indonesia’s most volatile volcano spewed smoke and ash on Monday (22/7), forcing hundreds of people to flee their villages along its slopes, a disaster official said. Mount Merapi on the main island of Java rumbled as heavy rain fell around its cloud-covered crater, said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, disaster mitigation agency spokesman. The volcano unleashed a column of dark red volcanic material 1,000 meters into the air, and the ash made the rain thick and muddy in several villages as terrified residents fled to safety, he said. The sound was heard 30 kilometers away, but a full blown eruption did not occur and the volcano’s alert level was not raised, Nugroho said. The 2,968-meter mountain is the most active of 500 Indonesian volcanoes.

Its last major eruption in 2010 killed 347 people. (July 22nd 2013) Police find Crystal Meth in Bali Prison Bali Police are conducting an internal investigation after an inmate at Denpasar Prison was caught with more than one-and-a-half grams of crystal methamphetamine in his jail cell.“We found 10 packages of crystal meth weighing 1.67 grams in total,” Denpasar Police spokesman Sr. Comr.

Ida Bagus Sarjana said on Friday (26/7). Police raided inmate Gede Wir’s cell and reportedly seized the meth, Rp 2.3 million in cash, a meth pipe and a mobile phone from his cell. Officers are investigating whether Gede was planning to sell the drugs or use them himself. “So far, he claimed he was going to use the drugs himself,” Sarjana said. Gede was originally arrested on prior crystal meth charges. The Denpasar Police are still investigating the case. The department is also concerned as to whether any officers at the prison were involved. (July 27th 2013) 150,000 Children Die of Preventable Diseases According to UNICEF Nearly 150,000 Indonesian children under the age of five die of preventable diseases every year. “The preventable diseases are closely related to personal and environmental healthcare.” Head of UNICEF Communication and Partnership Cluster for Indonesia Edward Carwardine said here on Saturday (20/7).

Carwardine noted that awareness of healthcare among economically weak, low educated people is still low.

Consequently, many children under the age of five are susceptible to diseases caused by bad sanitation, such as diarrhea, dengue fever, typhoid and other communicable diseases. He also stated that data compiled by UNICEF showed around 10,000 Indonesian women died due to complications following childbirth each year. “Many of the deaths and diseases can be prevented if the people have a good knowledge and awareness of a healthy life style.

Minimal basic health care and health facilities in certain areas are the reason for the high number of deaths.” He said. (July 25th 2013)

Rabid Dog Bites Five in Gianyar – More Dogs to be

So You Love an Alcoholic Take Courage; There Is Hope Hope for families & friends of alcoholics

Australia Supports Indonesia’s First Legal Aid System

Culled

infected with the rabies virus bit five people in Gianyar, an official said. “The result of the lab test confirmed that the dog that bit five people did have rabies,” Dewa Raka, the head of Gianyar’s animal husbandry agency, said on Thursday. The victims were being treated in Sanjiwani hospital in Gianyar. “We will conduct a routine sweeping operation, especially in public places such as markets,’ Raka said. “We hope this incident will not affect our efforts to declare Bali rabies-free by 2015.” A rabies outbreak beginning in 2008 quickly became an acute health issue in Bali, prompting an island-wide cull and vaccination program of animals to eliminate the virus, which is fatal to humans.

In 2012, the Health Ministry said the number of people bitten by animals nationwide was 44,981, with 55 fatalities from rabies. In 2011, 84,010 people were bitten by animals and 184 people died from rabies, including 23 deaths in Bali.

Authorities in Bali said they had vaccinated 180,000 of the estimated 302,00 dogs. One of the focuses in the campaign to reduce rabies is responsible pet ownership, but the number of stray dogs on the resort island has, according to health officials, necessitated intervention. “We have decided that strayed dogs, or dogs abandoned by their owner, will have to be culled,” Raka said. (July 18th 2013) Aceh Fishermen Rescue 68 Rohingya Asylum Seekers From Indian Ocean Fishermen rescued a more than 60 Rohingya asylum seekers stranded in a boat off the coast of Aceh Jaya on Sunday (28/7) — the third disabled Rohingya boat found floating in the Indian Ocean this year. The 68 Rohingya — including a pregnant woman and two babies — told Aceh officials they boarded the boat after being threatened with deportation in Malaysia. “The asylum seekers who could speak Malay said they departed from Malaysia four days ago and were heading to Australia to apply for asylum,” Rizal Dinata, the head of Aceh Jaya branch Indonesian Inter-Citizen Radio (RAPI), said. The Rohingya told Rizal they fled their home villages in Myanmar’s coastal Arakan region amid a recent surge in anti-Muslim violence. They spent several days in Malaysia before deciding to chance the perilous journey to Australia’s Christmas Island. The asylum seekers were in good health and fasting for the holy month of Ramadan, Rizal said. Some had Bangladesh citizenship, one was Vietnamese, Rizal said. Asylum seeker boats continue to arrive in Indonesia despite Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s implementation of a hard-line immigration policy that shut the nation’s doors to even “legitimate refugees.” Under the new policy, all asylum seekers, regardless of their circumstances, will be settled in neighboring Papua New Guinea — a controversial move that has garnered criticism from human rights groups.

Thirty Percent of Tourists say Bali is “Dirty” According to a survey conducted by the Bali Provincial Tourism Office at least thirty percent of tourists classed Bali as “dirty”. The head of the department Ida Bagus Kade Subiksu said that foreign tourists see the island as “dirty” due to the garbage that litters the once pristine Island. “From the results of a survey of tourists who visited Bali until the end of 2012, 30 percent of foreign tourists and 15 percent of domestic tourists expressed the opinion that the island was ‘very dirty’,” said Subiksu when speaking at the “Clean Baliku Movement” in Denpasar, on Tuesday (23/7). He said that if the condition was not addressed, Bali tourism would be seriously threatened in the future. “Hygiene measures should be carried out on all levels of society in an effort to keep Bali an ‘idyllic’ destination in the eyes of both foreign and domestic tourists,” he said. “If the input from the survey is ignored then travelers will move to other places to enjoy their vacations. We appeal to all sections of the community to respond to the survey as the Bali economy is dependent on tourism,” he said. “It is imperative that we work together so that Bali remains a world class tourist destination,” added Subiksu. (July 25th 2013) Slovenian Tourist Drowns on Kuta Beach A search and rescue team from Denpasar has retrieved the body of Slovenian tourist Alexander three days after he was swept away in high waves on Sawangan beach, South Kuta, on Saturday (27/7). A member of the SAR Denpasar division Amtarama said on Tuesday (30/7) that his team initially received a report from a fisherman who saw the body of the victim floating at sea. “Shortly after receiving the report, the SAR team began its search efforts,” he said. The body of the dead tourist was found later that day within one mile of the initial accident close to the Geger temple. On Saturday (July 27), Alexander was with his friend Ananda Mirsik on the beach near Nikko Hotel, but he was suddenly swept away by rough seas and disappeared. (July 30th 2013)

Hundreds of Indonesian legal aid organizations are now accredited and will have access to public funding to represent the poor, the Australian Embassy here said on its official website on Friday (26/7). With this funding, the poor will gain better access to legal advice and representation, giving them a fair chance to resolve conflicts. In a ceremony at the Presidential Palace, accredited legal aid organizations signed agreements with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights to receive funding from the national budget to deliver legal aid services. 310 legal aid organizations have been accredited under the system. There is at least one accredited organization in every province. “Australia congratulates Indonesia on the launch of its first ever legal aid system. We are pleased to support the Indonesian Government’s initiative to provide free lawyers to help poor people resolve conflicts,” said the Australian Ambassador to Indonesia, Greg Moriarty. Australia, through the Australia Indonesia Partnership for Justice, supported the Ministry of Law and Human Rights in setting up the new system and conducting the accreditation process. According to a 2012 survey by the World Bank, only about 1000 legal aid lawyers provide services to 120 million Indonesians living on less than $2 per day. (July 26th 2013)

HECTOR’S Jam Session The Ubud Jazz Festival (Friday and Saturday, Aug. 9-10 at ARMA) is one among many annual events that crowd the calendar there. And since jazz is among the more useful creations of human ingenuity, it’s well worth the trouble. Jazz is a fundamentally anarchic art form that demonstrates that people are not cattle who can be prodded into doing what they’re told. Fundamentalists of all stripes should note this. While listening to some lovely anarchic music on the iPod recently – we were driving towards a delightful lunchtime appointment with our favourite Ubud-based scribbler-savant, Marie Bee, for which we were frightfully late – we found ourselves in a jam session of our own.

This one was not musical. It was so humdrum and normal that no one even bothered to toot their horns. It was but the latest example of the lack of capacity hereabouts to understand a very simple equation: ROB + VNS + ISB = TFC. That’s where ROB is Ridiculous Oversized Bus, VNS is Very Narrow Street, and ISB is Impossible Sharp Bend. The answer is TFC, as we all know; where T is Total, C is Chaos, and the middle letter is unprintable.

Ubud, You Know The jazz festival’s website blurb, by the way, is a great example of how trite travelogue and pop history these days combine to give you hollow laughs, if not soulful sighs laden with ennui and exasperation. It is headed Welcome to Ubud and says this: Ubud is a remarkable town in the middle of the is land of Bali, Indonesia. For more than a century, it has been the island’s preeminent centre for fine arts, dance and music. While it once was a haven for scruffy backpackers, cosmic seekers, artists and bohemians, Ubud is now a hot spot for literati, glit terati, art collectors and connoisseurs. Famous names walk its busy sidewalks every day. Elegant five star hotels and sprawling mansions now stand on its outskirts, overlooking the most prized views in Bali. Nonetheless, Ubud is still popular with backpackers, mystics and all the finest fringe elements of global society. Ubud is not “ruined”.

Its character is too strong to be destroyed. It still draws people who add something; people who are actively involved in art, nature, anthropology, music, dance, architecture, environmentalism, “alternative modalities,” and more.

We go to Ubud for the music and the food – and, if Janet DeNeefe lets us, for the literature.

A Nice Drop We sampled Plaga Wines’ newly introduced cabernet sauvignon recently, at an affray held at The Deck at the Semara Resort & Spa, Seminyak. It’s a very nice drop of wine. Well, it would be: Plaga’s range of quaffable products blends Chilean and West Australian grapes, which to our mind gives you a basically unbeatable southern hemisphere double. Plaga’s pitch is to produce quality affordable wine for your table in Bali, a quest in which it deserves wholehearted support. The price of imported wine here is horrendous and largely unaffordable, unless you’re paying with someone else’s credit card. Plaga is one of a number of new (or improved) players in the field and we certainly wish them all good fortune. We’ll be adding Plaga’s cab sav to our modest cave at The Cage.

There’s something about wine that is quite irresistible, as the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda famously noted (Plaga’s Facebook page recently posted it as a neat reminder): “I had a fling with beer, a passionate affair with Cognac, but the love of my glass is wine.”

Many of us have travelled that particular life-path. The Diary admits to a continuing infatuation with whisky (as well as its attractive cousin whiskey) but we think wine long ago came to terms with the occasional lapses that inevitably follow. We caught up at The Deck do with Alexsander Martins Paim, F&B director at the Semara Seminyak, and Marian Carroll of Ayana at Jimbaran.

Carroll was just in from a business trip to Japan that (as they do) had ended with the modern hell of an overnight long-distance flight, but she looked trim, taut and terrific.

Fine Dining We were back recently at a favourite grazing spot, variously known as Warung Chilli or Rice & Noodles and sometimes just as the noodle house. It’s at Taman Griya between Jimbaran and Nusa Dua. We like it because the food is great. It’s basically Japanese–Balinese fusion,

reflecting the provenance of the family that runs the place.

The chicken katsu-don and udon noodle soup are fabulous.

There are other reasons to like the place. It doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what it is: it’s a local eatinghouse. Its staff all know what they’re doing. They know what you’ve ordered. And they bring it to you with commendable speed. Plus it’s cheap. A winner on all counts, really.

Here, Kitty Blogger-about-Bali Vyt Karazija, who like many among the fine and fearless is also to be found on Facebook (we share that and St Kilda as favourite lost causes) had a lovely tale the other day about the cat which came by his Legian digs. He tells it this way: So a cat wanders into the villa. The only way in is over a 3 metre wall. With monumental insouciance, he stares into the lounge area, climbs a tree, explores the garden and responds to my “Shoo!” and “Get the hell out of here” with utter disdain. Finally in his own time he leaves by scaling the wall again. Then I hear running water, and it takes 5 minutes to track down the source. The outdoor shower is running full-bore and I turn it off. But the only way to control that shower is with a lever that hangs straight down in the “off” position, and must be pushed 90 degrees to the right to get water flow. You need hands to move it; paws don’t cut it. There is no way a cat going up a wall can possibly turn that tap.

And yet the damn cat turned on the tap as it left. I am starting to develop a healthy respect for that cat’s ability to achieve engineering impossibilities. No wonder the ancient Egyptians worshipped them. Maybe cats were the ones who built the pyramids.

Of course they were. We told him: “Get with the program, Vyt. Or the Loud Meow will want to know why.”

Very Important imPediments We are, we suppose, glad in a way that Bali is to host the 2013 APEC CEO Summit. It will focus the world output of 10-second grabs and sound-bites on our beautiful little island for a nano-second and may even encourage some among the global media to go off and find stories they haven’t been spoon-fed by the PR machines. Plus we’ve got the Dewa Ruci underpass and that new aquatic playground, the Sanur-Nusa Dua toll road, as lasting memorials to the great jamboree. The VIP lads and lasses are only going to be here for a day or so. But neither we nor those who manage the world’s airline schedules are going to miss the impact of their fleeting presence, since it will seriously disrupt that other time-delayed wonder, the WorkIn-Progress International Airport.

This is because to accommodate the very important travel schedules of these honoured jests (oops, guests), the airport will be closed to normal traffic for significant portions of four days: Oct. 5 and 6 (from 10am both days until 4pm on Oct. 5 and 8pm on Oct. 6) and Oct. 8 and 9 (again from 10am both days until 8pm on Oct. 8 and 4pm on Oct. 9). That’s six hours or 10 hours a day, not counting Indonesia’s gift to the world, jam karet (rubber time). It’s hasn’t been explained why this is necessary. It isn’t, of course. Other places manage to do these things with minimal disruption.

Hard Yards, Great Result Sole Men, the charity group inspired by entrepreneur Robert Epstone, has done it again, this time with the help of the Hard Rock Hotel at Kuta, which takes its community service obligations very seriously indeed. Over the last weekend of July they had a rave (if people still do that; it could be so yesterday for all we know) over two nights including body painting by Yaari, sexy dancing by outrageous Go Go Dancers, with MC Dee on hand and lots of live music headed by Indonesian super-group Superman is Dead.

Other sponsors were Heineken Beer and Plaga wines.

Money raised – it was still being counted when the Diary hit deadline – will go towards proper housing for two poor Denpasar families who are supporting their seven severely disabled children. Epstone reports his builder Nevhouses has said it will build two dwellings on land Sole Men are acquiring in Denpasar. As he says, given this level of support from all over, you can’t lose.

Letters To Bali Advertiser Money and Manners Dear Sir, Recently we had two groups of friends who did the lovely drive up to Kintamani, with their driver. The journey, albeit through beautiful Bali country, and villages, was interrupted on several occasions with Police demanding money. They flagged down the car and demanded that the driver pay them an outrageous amount of money. My friends question was “What for?”. They don’t mind paying to enter the Kintamani area, but only once. Not several times on the way there and several on the way back.

I am advised that this is usual. I am also advised by many signs on the bypass, etc, that giving money to police is not acceptable as it is regarded as bribery. So, where does that leave my friends and their driver. Do they pay? Do they drive on? What can the police do to the drivers who drive on?

Bule are scared that the police will cause problems for them so they pay. This is just keeping the bribery rolling on. Something needs to be done to stop this type of bad publicity.

All 6 of my friends complained that they will not recommend that anyone go up to Kintamani. The food prices and quality are questionable at best, and the service folk were less than welcoming. They were told in abrupt fashion that they could not wait for their driver at the front door, they “had to go downstairs now”.

There is much to love about Bali, it is a beautiful, magical island, but there are things that make you cringe when you recommend that your friends see areas of beauty and they come across this type of thing.

As an alternative to their requiring payment for every perceived infringement of the many road violations that apparently exist on Bali roads, paying police a decent wage would be a good way to eradicate this type of culture.

Police cadets could educate children in schools about road safety, do classes to teach them to ride motor bikes safely and maybe we can reduce the terrible deaths and accidents that occur on Bali roads every day. Making sure that children under the age of 17 do not ride a bike without a license and a set number of lessons.

I realize this is a pipe dream here where children are given the keys to the motorbike from the age of 6, but surely that has to change.

Education is a powerful weapon against ignorance!

Regards, G.H.

*** Rubbish You Say Bali is being rubbished, both on land and in the press, for its inability to educate the public as to the proper disposal of their household rubbish. Throwing it onto some nearby vacant land is not good enough. Some areas close to the bypass, in Sanur, do not even have a garbage pick up service.

The locals do not want to pay. They would prefer to set fire to the plastic, etc and forget about it.

The rubbish, plastic bags floating in the wind, used noodle containers, single thongs, (always a mystery. maybe they should join forces with the single sock), rubbish on the beaches being buried in the sand without being separated into recyclable and organic, is not sustainable. I am constantly picking up local rubbish on the beach, and putting in the bins, which are provided but never used. Especially on Monday after the Sunday family day at the beach. I fail to understand how the owners of this magic place can justify having a lovely day at the beach, and then getting up from their picnic and walking off leaving all the trash to be blown around. Is it just me or is it possible that putting rubbish in bins provided is not a task that is comprehensible to some folk.

I foresee that in the future, Bali will be one big rubbish dump and Lombok will be the island of choice. Now that it has its own International Airport, pristine beaches, and the foresight to take Bali as an example of what not to do with rubbish.

Rubbish is money. Recycling is a viable business, which could employ many people, and put Bali in the limelight for the right reasons with regard to rubbish. Don’t rubbish this island. It is not recyclable!!!!

Regards, G. H.

by Dr. Rob Cosmic Energy A Group Exhibition from members of the Indonesian Association of Sculptors At Oracle Gallery, Jl. Raya Sanggingan 9, Ubud Tel: 978611 Local Ubud art critic Richard Horstman has written the notes for this exhibition, and he sets the stage very well by explaining that Indonesia has long had a history of sculptural arts. Megalithic images, he states, have been found in archaeological sites as diverse as Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi. The 8th to the 10th century sculptures and reliefs found in Java and Bali, of Hindu-Buddhist origins, reveal foreign influences, most likely from Hindu and Buddhist India. In addition, indigenous tribes of Indonesia developed their own distinctive tribal sculptural styles, which were created as ancestor, deity, or animal worship works of art.

However, in contemporary terms, up until the 1960s, Richard continues to elaborate, Indonesian sculpture was mostly figurative. Still, in the mid 1960s, Javanese sculptor Sidharta made enormous impact with his abstract sculptures, that were a radical departure from recognizable forms. His pieces were characterized by free flowing forms, and they are said to have initiated a new phase of Indonesian art. Yet, sculpture as an art form was not recognized within the art communities. Art exhibitions were segregated. Painters only exhibited with painters, and sculptors only with sculptors. Collectors and appreciators of Indonesian art were slow to acknowledge the merits of sculpture. It seems, that Sidharta played an instrumental role in creating a new understanding and awareness of sculpture, and it then began to receive respect. Eventually, demand for such collectable objects of fine art grew.

The Asosiasi Pematung Indonesia, or, API, (Indonesian Association of Sculptors), was founded

by Sidharta in Yogyakarta in 2001. API is an open, non-commercial organization dedicated to raising the profile of sculpture in Indonesia, and it now has more than 120 members throughout the country.

Cosmic Energy The Oracle Gallery in Ubud is pleased to presents ‘Cosmic Energy’, the first group exhibition featuring members of the API in Bali.

According to Hindu philosophy, the word Shakti translates as Cosmic Energy, that is: the unseen energy that contains spirit and life. Western science’s rationale states that cosmic energy is the left over radiation from the Big Bang, the explosion that created the universe, and which is infinitely expanding into the universe. As a result, ‘Cosmic Energy’ can be regarded as a universal creative life force.

For the purposes of this exhibition, ‘Cosmic Energy’ can also be regarded as the invisible muse of the artists of the API. For these sculptors it is the source upon which all intuition and ideas can manifest themselves into 3 dimensional sculptural forms.

API Bali members participating in the exhibition include the Oracle Gallery’s director, Greek sculptor Filippos Bourbo, whose visionary works are forged from crystal and wood, and which draw on sacred and celestial wisdom from ancient civilizations. Wayan Gawi carves life-like figurative sculptures from single blocks of wood, set in unusual and provocative poses. While, drawing on his Balinese heritage, Ketut Selamat’s sculptures reflect on cultural icons. From a well-known family of artists, Wayan Jana’s harmonic wooden idols represent the figurative in angelic and cosmic minimalism. Then, Dutch born Carola Vooges’ installations feature wooden sculptures that are both surreal and organic in form. Are they inspired by pulsating aquatic organisms from inter-galactic landscapes, or, are they purely fantasies from her vivid imagination? Wayan Upadana is one of the risings stars of the Balinese art scene, and his work is an insight into his culture and its complexities. Pande Wayan Mataram utilizes the natural grain and character of his wood

to carve abstract as well as realistic sculptures, plus, Antonius Kho, the president of API Bali, presents a new work, ‘Dynamika’, which is a combination of icons that he has explored throughout his artistic career. Finally, Bambang Adi Pranomo, a multi-disciplined sculptor, creates imaginative works of excellent conceptual and technical quality. API guest artists from Java exhibiting in ‘Cosmic Energy’ include: Anusapati (President of API Indonesia), Hedi Heriyanto, Lenny Ratnasari Weichert, Komroden Haro and Syarizal Koto.

Objects of Contemplation Ceramics Exhibition by Antra Sinha At Gaya Art Space at Gaya Fusion, Sayan, Ubud Tel: 976220 Antra Sinha is currently an Artist in Residence at Gaya Art Space at Gaya Fusion. Speaking of the exhibition, ‘Objects of Contemplation’, the artist says that: “Nature fascinates me. When I see nature, I see geometry. I am inspired by the structures Objects of Contemplation created by the Golden Mean, and its various permutations that emerge and evolve from the micro of the organism to the macro of the universe. My work is guided by the material itself, that is: clay. I feel that in some ways, I am the material that I am working with. I am moulding clay, yet it is moulding me. I feel that my mind, vital and body must work in concert in order to manifest the forms, which I can then offer to the fire. It is only then that I surrender to the exogenous forces of the cosmos. I am grateful to all the beings that have touched me and come together in creating this exhibition. The making is a collaborative process and your experience and interpretation of this work completes my journey”.

NC/NV/A-7 Aug 13

Although geometric forms are very obvious in Antra’s pieces, the works do, however, also display an amazing organic sensibility and a subtle and powerful evocation of mystic sensibilities. The ceramic pieces on display are quite superb.

Permaculture Drives the Green Hotels of Bali A previous article about the green hotels of Bali (see Bali Advertiser of 24 July) described the criteria and characteristics of what constitutes a genuine green hotel. This part takes a closeup look at a number of eco lodges and hotels that have taken up the challenge of an environmentally responsible commitment to making their properties truly green. It is by no means an inclusive list; the number of deserving hotels just outruns the available space to list them all.

On the slopes of Mount Batukaru to the west of the Jatiluwih rice growing region are two eco lodges that deserve special mention.

Bali Eco Stay, now in its 3rd year of operation, boasts exquisite bungalows and drop-dead views. Its setting with the background of Batukaru is breathtaking. Terraced rice fields sweep down the southern side of the mountain and the tentacles of the forest above thread themselves like jade colored fingers between the emerald paddies. It is a pristine environment that invites the unavoidable comparisons with “Bali as it used to be”. Except this is Bali as it is now: the Bali that offers timeless vistas, pastimes and contemplations in a sweeping décor of amaranthine beauty.

The 2 hectare property of the lodge is part of this vista, with tumbling waterfalls, gurgling mountain streams, sweeping cascades of paddy, teeming jungle and refreshing mountain air.

The green foundation of Bali Eco Stay is permaculture.

Permaculture (permanent agriculture) is the term used for a self sufficient, ecologically harmonious way of living relying on renewable resources and a self-sustaining ecosystem. Practicing permaculture is being conscious with regard to our environment and our resources and creating livable environments designed on the basis of a natural eco-system that is holistic in nature.

Permaculture not only encompasses the production of organic food, judicious usage and conservation of energy and natural resources, but also sustainable architecture & engineering, and social and economic structures. It is the practice of designing a human habitat sustainable in all aspects of human life by following nature’s patterns.

At Bali Eco Stay the accent is on the use and value of renewable resources and services. The naturally occurring mountain streams and waterfalls on the property are harnessed and fed into a turbine that supplies 60% of the lodge’s electric energy needs through hydropower. They also supply the water for use in the cottages and common buildings. Fresh water comes from 3 mountain springs on the property that deliver pure drinkable water via a gravity fed piping system. Though a great deal of electricity is generated through hydro action, the ultimate goal is to be entirely off-grid in the not too distant future by supplying the remaining energy needs through the production and use of biomass.

All buildings were erected with local timber harvested on the property, mainly coconut and mango trees, and a species of local trees which the Balinese call gempinis and teep. The architecture and design follows strict permaculture principles. No AC, no chemical swimming pool. A natural swimming hole on the property is fed by mountain streams. A vast organic garden supplies fresh produce, herbs and fruits for the restaurant. Of the total surface of 2 hectares, 25 are have been set aside for cultivation of organic red rice. In the cottages sheets and towels are made from organic cotton or bamboo. Bathroom, kitchen and laundry supplies are all environment-friendly natural products. All wastewater is recycled: extensive drain fields recycle both black and grey waste water into planted areas. Staffing is mostly local and drawn from 4 surrounding villages.

Based on their dedicated eco policies and involvement in community projects Bali Eco Stay was awarded a perfect 5/5 Eco Butterfly Club Eco Rating in 2011 making it the first eco lodge in Bali -and one of only seven in the world- to be awarded a perfect score. Bali Eco Stay appeals to nature lovers and people who enjoy quiet times, invigorating mountain treks, and a close proximity to nature. The accent is on contemplative activities and

the lodge is a perfect backdrop for yoga and meditation groups.

Bali Eco Stay was designed and built by PT Greenworld Bali, which specializes in permaculture developments.

Incidentally, one of their other flagship creations is Sarinbuana Eco Lodge, up the road from Bali Eco Stay, 20 minutes by car and 200 meters rise in altitude.

Sarinbuana Lodge feels like a sister property, stemming from the same green dedication, though the atmosphere is very different.

Sarinbuana is a rainforest resort. The 200 meter climb from the Bali Eco Stay means a total change in eco environment, even micro climate. The Sarinbuana seems to float among the trees; there are no rice fields in sight, just a green canopy of trees.

The expanse of the green rice fields has given way to a horizon of treetops. The 5 cottages of the lodge are set among the trees and the misty environment presages the adjoining rainforest.

Sarinbuana and Bali Eco Stay are siblings inasmuch as they share the same green visions, the same eco-based architecture and building concepts.

Green hotels are not always in the category of well financed or large properties. Sometimes the modest size of a hotel can make it easier to adhere to sustainable practices. Case in point is Serenity Eco Guesthouse & Yoga in Canggu, a cozy little hodgepodge of bungalows and common rooms set on a mere 20 are of land. The buildings are cleverly arranged among coconut and banana trees, around a peanut shaped swimming pool and a permaculture garden that meanders around the property and seems to occupy every available nook and cranny. A total of 13 rooms are ensconced in a series of 3 big buildings constructed from bamboo and natural materials. The eco guesthouse is the creation of Frenchman Daniel and his Balinese wife Yatna who are dedicated practitioners of permaculture, natural therapies and yoga. The entire concept of Serenity Eco Guesthouse is a reflection of their own life philosophy and personal engagement.

As committed environmentalists they foster the spirituality and respect for nature that is embodied in the Tri Hita Karana Balinese philosophy which they have happily adopted and adapted in this little eco-haven. Besides the eco-friendly construction, the entire infrastructure is geared towards respecting and celebrating the bounties of nature. Recycling and wastewater management is seriously practiced; so is the growing of organic produce and a vast array of natural foods and medicinal plants. Energy conservation is paramount; a solar water heating system, limited AC and prevalent use of fans and natural ventilation are part of that concept. Housekeeping relies on natural cleaning products and detergents. Drinking water is obtained from an inverse osmosis system; an outdoor oven to bake bread and pizza is fired with recycled wood. The organic garden is presently being expanded to include more insect repelling plants like neem trees and a vegetable garden to supply wholesome produce to the restaurant. On the spiritual side yoga enjoys prime time at Serenity and classes are offered daily. Serenity has its own yoga shala and private studio and hosts regular Santosha yoga teacher training. Community programs like beach cleanups and yoga sessions for disabled kids are scheduled regularly.

Desa Seni feels like a theme park resembling an Indonesian village and that is quite by design. It is the brainchild of an enterprising duo of young expats who have created a veritable ecological village retreat on a 1.5 hectare plot in the Canggu rice fields. At the heart of the Desa Seni concept is the desire to enhance a sense of community and to celebrate the spiritual forces of nature. A total of 13 cottages coming from different parts of Indonesia are dotted around the property ensconced in their own mini

gardens. They are encircled by the hotel’s very ecological and organic vegetable, herb and flower garden which takes up 40% of the property and supplies the majority of fresh produce for the restaurant. Everything at Desa Seni is in function of eco-green, sustainable, reusable and recyclable. The cottages are all reconstructed and repurposed from pre-existing buildings and the roof lines give away their origins: Javanese joglos, Balinese rice barns, traditional tall peaked Sumba dwellings, the lace-like eave ornaments reminiscent of Sulawesi. Inside the cottages, energy saving light bulbs and natural cross ventilation mean low energy output although AC is provided as a backup. Drinking water comes from a reverse osmosis system; bath products are natural and come in reusable containers; all-natural linens are laundered with eco-friendly products. The swimming pool is salt-water. Gray and black water is recycled in the extensive gardens and organic pesticides are used instead of chemicals.

Desa Seni’s logo is very distinctive, a three pointed roof called trimurti which represents the triad of the Hindu gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. It presages the emphasis on yoga and wellness activities of the village. Along with the ecological concept, the founders also wanted to create a community society as encapsulated by the concepts of Svaasthya (meaning spiritual forces of wellness) and Kula (meaning community). As such, Desa Seni has become a gathering point for local yoga and meditation enthusiasts and outside groups; it is a true retreat mecca with a serious emphasis on yoga and wellness. Holistic treatments and therapies on offer include acupuncture, auriculotherapy and Chinese cupping and herbal therapy. But true to its name, art has also been incorporated and everywhere you see gorgeous artworks dotted about the place: wonderful paintings and sculptures inside the cottages and public buildings; in the gardens are impressive stone lingams, wooden and metal sculptures and artworks with Balinese, Indonesian and universal themes. In short, at Desa Seni, all of the senses are gratified and the spiritual forces of wellness and happiness are hard at work to revitalize body and soul.

There seems to be a green-ness range a m o n g t h e properties that list themselves as ecohotels or lodges. At the top are the very d e d i c a t e d permaculture establishments that are very green. Next are properties that, though not strictly green, are making a very conscious effort to offer a green environment and a respectable range of eco-friendly services to their guests. The buildings may not be truly ecofriendly but efforts are made to minimize the impact on the environment and attenuate their carbon footprint. At the bottom are the lip-service properties that claim to be green but are not, apart from some cosmetic applications to their buildings and a modicum of green services. For the prospective guest, it pays to check the hotels’ websites and rate their prospective lodgings in terms of green attributes. This can be a simple checklist that covers everything from air quality, energy conservation, solid waste reduction and water conservation, to towel and sheet programs and environmental education and community programs.

Some green attributes are more visible, like recycling bins in the guest rooms and hotel lobbies. Others are less visible, like being active and responsible in the community by donating to environmental charities or providing environmental education to hotel staff and guests. Hotels are proud to list their green credentials.

Akar Raja Villas Lombok

Akar Raja Villas, located on the southern part of Lombok, offers a concept of villas for sale or lease which will be the ¿rst Estate developing program on the wide and beautiful area. Please check the pictures on our website.

This area, not only offers white sandy beaches but also sea biota next to Bumbang Bay. It also is the location of a green conservatory protected forest called Tunak forest which is 1500 ha, making this area always green throughout the year.

The spring of the Takar Akar valley provides clean water for daily use and amazingly, unlike other beaches mostly, this area has no mosquitoes which is for me myself still a mystery.

Only 40 minutes away from the new international Airport, about 30km. Only 9 km from Kuta, which will take 20 minutes.

We can see ocean and surfers from the land.

Besides the view of the ocean, we can also see green hills and land with tropical trees which are located about 300m away from the conservatory forest that will stay green all year long and soothe the eye.

The elevation of the land gives beautiful sunset breezes in the evening and beautiful sunrises in the morning.

About 6 km away on the west side, an area with a lot of hotels and restaurants named Gerupuk Bay. Gerupuk Bay has been very famous for a really long time as a place where tourists stay for sur¿ng.

- Infrastructure • Akar Raja Villas is only 40 minutes from Bandara Internasional Lombok • Power electricity already include • Supermarket is only 20 minutes • Restaurant and bar in Bumbangku Beach Cottages • Water supply from spring and discharge of 7 liters/second • Health centre 20 minutes from the villa • All infrastructures is good condition - Price Price starting from 1.7 billion rupiah until 3.9 billion rupiah.

This price include: • Electricity • Water • Furniture (Full Furnish) • Tax This price valid until 31 October 2013.
