DVD

Men, Women & Children In this powerful movie, director Jason Reitman looks at how the internet and social-media has affected the lives of a wide group of typical middle-class American families.

Reitman explores everything from innocuous chatting and tweeting, to online dating, and, also, which is only a click away, hard-core pornography. The movie raises some very provocative issues, about how modern lives today are lived more in a virtual cyber-space then in everyday reality. The movie is very visually interesting, as it depicts the instantaneous presentation of digital data.

Finally, it has a surprisingly good performance from Adam Sandler, free of his usually annoying mannerisms.

Nightcrawler Director Dan Gilroy also looks at social-media in this very startling movie, although, in a somewhat different form.

The movie concerns an ambitious man who is a freelance paparazzi. He works the nightshift gathering video footage of car-crashes and petty-crimes. The more sensational the better, as the material is then sold to a TV station for broadcast in the morning news. The movie also cleverly shows how broadcast news can be manipulated to maintain audience attention and ratings. This is a very thought provoking movie, with a performance from Jake Gyllenhaal which is just extraordinary.

Fury Towards the end of WW11, a group of American armored tanks are slowly making their way across Germany, destroying everything in their path. Their goal is to get to Berlin and put an end to Hitler’s madness. In one particular tank, the soldiers are tired and fed-up with the war. Nerves are definitely at breaking point. However, their hardened sergeant is determined to see his boys safely through their mission. Writer and director David Ayer presents an incredible reconstructed vision of war torn Germany, but, the most remarkable thing about the movie is his depiction of his characters. These American soldiers are not the noble heroes which Hollywood movies of the fifties would let us believe. These men are nothing more than savage brutes.

The Maze Runner You have to take this movie at face value. Don’t expect any explanation of what it’s all about until the very end.

Still, if you are prepared to go with the flow, you should find this adventure movie kinda interesting. A group of youths are imprisoned in a large walled compound, and, the only way out is through a maze infested with enormous mechanical scorpion-like monsters.

The Equalizer* Denzel Washington plays a retired CIA agent with nothing to do. With lots of time on his hands, he becomes a vigilante, righting wrongs where he finds them. One of his pet projects becomes a gang of ruthless Russian mobsters.

Antoine Fuqua creates a well-crafted film, but, we have seen this type of movie many times before. Denzel being Denzel gives a good performance.

Gone Girl* When a man’s wife goes mysteriously missing, the media is quick to label him a wife-killer, even though they have no proof of this. As it turns out, the couple like to play sexual mind games with each other, and, this is another one of their bizarre antics, played out in public. At 2 hours and 30 minutes, this movie becomes more and more convoluted and more and more boring.

Clouds of Sils Maria A famous actress is rehearsing a play about a lesbian relationship between a business woman and her personal assistant. Shortly, she is to become aware of a similar situation in her own private life, with her own personal assistant.

Mr. Turner English director Mike Leigh makes an historical costume-drama which is utterly breathtaking to look at.

Unfortunately, we actually learn very little about the life and inspirations of 19th century seascape artist J.M.W. Turner.

Before I Go To Sleep* Every day when a woman wakes up her memory is erased, and, she has to start each day anew. To help her remember she starts a video-diary, then, over time, she suspects that her husband is withholding something from her.

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE JANUARY 07 - JANUARY 21, 2015

This appears to be a bit of an integrative fortnight after the excitement of the festive season and the Cancer Full Moon.

Our next New Moon is on the 20th and begins just after the Sun enters Aquarius and as with our last New Moon, is at 0 degrees. The nodes of the Moon or the karmic destiny points on this New Moon are highly activating our Uranus square Pluto with the South Node (past point) conjoined Uranus in Aries and the North Node (future point) in Libra and square to Pluto. There will be sudden events and surprises in the area affected within your own personal chart, as well as within the collective. These have the feel of fated or destiny related occurrences that could well reshape your life.

Mars in Pisces is close to Neptune on the New Moon and action will be prompted by compassion or retaliation through victimization. With the Planets in Aquarius the humanitarian flavour is still strong and people for the most part will be thinking about each other and the Planet as a whole. Jupiter in Leo is our only planet in retrograde and will be joined

by Mercury in Aquarius at the end of this fortnight, for its review on all those mental considerations taking place now.

Decisions that you make at this time have far reaching effects and so it will be important to revise them well. Aquarian planets are concerned with the future and in allowing visions to enter our awareness that can support it.

NEW MOON 0 Aquarius 09 January 20, 2015 9:15 p.m.

Mars your ruler enters Pisces and your 12th house of connection with the Divine. The lower octave is to do with addiction and institutions. Your energy could be low over the coming weeks and you find yourself in a more meditative flow or seeking solitude. The Sun enters your house of friends, groups and community and this is the new beginning point at the end of the fortnight. Perhaps there are people or places that support this phase of your life better, than where you currently find yourself and with the south node and Uranus in your first house you may impulsively relocate to a more harmonious environment.

As Mars and Neptune join forces in your service sector you are ready to lend a helping hand where needed and as the New Moon comes around this could well be with the children in your life or with the romantic partner or even in your creative endeavours. The North Node falls in your 1st house of self-interest and expression and will bring some endings to key relationships. Your home or that place you feel nurtured in is also being reviewed and is going through its own transformation. As the new you is exposed and the changes embraced what was comfortable seems to be no more. A deeper time of sharing.

The Sun and New Moon enter your career sector at the end of this fortnight and by then it will be time to focus your attention on the important next phase of your life and the North Node in Libra supports this as well with its placement in your work and service house. Uranus is bringing unconscious memories to the surface and these may be in the form of past life skills and talents that you can now use in the everyday work that you do. There’s an emphasis on sharing and working alongside others in a close way where a common vision is your goal and you can reshape your collective future.

The Sun and New Moon will bring the next cycle into focus around your home and it seems that it will be a place for friends to gather. Children are also well cared for now in your world and there may even be a new addition to the tribe. As changes occur in the workplace you are compelled to reach inside for the direction of your next steps, but with the current emphasis on relationship it may be difficult to focus on your career. Pay attention to your health and any issues in this area may be supported by someone who has helped you in the past to uncover subconscious patterning.

The coming New Moon will be in your travel and foreign interest arena and you may be preparing yourself for an upcoming journey. It can also portend a time of higher learning or legal matters. Mars has just entered your career and status house and brings some synchronic meetings with others who will support your financial standing in the World. There could be some upsets with friends or community disputes that suddenly arise and this will lead you perhaps to a more one on one personal involvement. Whichever way it plays out, there will endings within your romantic or personal relationships with a need for deeper intimacy.

Mars enters the area of your chart related to home and joins Neptune on the New Moon.

There could be many interesting discussions in your home over the coming weeks and the possibility of visiting other family members as well. If you have situations concerning children these will arise over the next fortnight and this may compel you to reach out into the larger community for support. Your finances are in the ongoing transformative process and this is reflected back to you by family members. Remember it is Jupiter your planetary ruler that is in retrograde, so take it easy on yourself during these intense times.

You are about to enter a deeper phase of life where death and sexual intimacy become the theme. Mars enters Pisces and the 9th house of travel, religion and higher learning and so your deeper thoughts and introspection may compel you to reach out in understanding the situations playing out in your life. Pluto in your relationship house is being challenged by the nodes on the home front and within your career sector. Family matters may pull you away from your career focus and have you make those sudden important decisions about your future and some will face direct challenges within the workplace.

You may well be feeling unsettled within yourself as the soul urges you to make the necessary adjustments concerning your home and your future orientation. It could be time to team up with another and to stop going it alone or being quite so self-sufficient. This next cycle is about your friendships and your community and what comes through these people in a tangible and material way.

With Mars and Neptune in the 3rd house of communication, short distance travel and marketing/media you will be connecting more deeply with the emotional side of others over the coming weeks and dropping some of your own facades.

A New Moon and Sun in your relationship house brings all manner of personal and business partnerships into strong focus and Mars enters your house of sexual intimacy and sharing. You may meet someone who is finally on your wavelength and can appreciate the depth of heart which you possess. Uranus and South Node in the foreign sector could bring overseas friends back into your life and no doubt there will be a lot to talk about with stories to share and adventures to be yet had. There could be the sudden impulse to end another job and to keep moving on your soul’s evolutionary journey.

The Sun enters your sign at the end of the fortnight and is followed by the New Moon to begin a strong cycle for Aquarius. Uranus your ruler is joined by the South Node in your communication and sibling sector. Some past memories may rise to the surface in order for you to break free of your past and move into more supportive partnerships which hold higher values. Your very soul is urging you to grow and expand now and to do it through and with others. As Mars moves into your 2nd house of personal values you are inspired to hold with compassion, all the many and varied belief structures.

With a second house North Node being activated this New Moon your thoughts may well turn to making money and you will be compelled to let go of some of those situations no longer working for you. This may come as a sudden and insightful inspiration and will affect the way you present yourself and your thoughts around romance and children. The Sun and New Moon will fall in your service and work sector and start the next important series of events by the end of this fortnight. Mars fresh in your relationship house, allows you the advantage of being able to feel emphatically the other persons perspective.

Mars enters your house of personal expression and you feel more in alignment now with your own purposeful choices. The Sun and New Moon will start the next cycle in your house of Divine connectedness and friends will help to support you back to yourself. It is easier for you to draw the boundaries between your own personal needs now and those of others. Uranus is changing the way you think about things and what truly matters to you and you are ready to share more of yourself as we reach the next juncture with the Moon’s Nodes. You may have eliminated enough of the old now that it is time for the new to be made manifest.

Pumping Up the Energy and Enthusiasm The footprint of fitness in Bali has been transformed over the past three years and if you step into a Pump class of a Monday morning at the New Canggu Club you will see why.

Regular class attendees have learned not to be tardy as places fill fast for trainer Yvette Manuel’s 8.45am Pump class.

Something that’s easy to understand once you have made the commitment to load the weights onto the bar and let this enigmatic lady lead you through the next energising and adrenalin fuelled 60 minutes. Recently appointed Fitness Manager at the Canggu Club, Yvette has the uncanny ability to make eager class members commit and push themselves that extra mile and the results are worth it!

No stranger to the business, UK native Yvette cannot remember a time when she wasn’t part of the fitness industry! Completing her training in London, mixing it with the chorus of Cats, Phantom and Les Miserable, touring

Little Italy in the Heart of Petitenget

It’s always nice to find the silver lining in any cloud and I was ‘fortunate’ enough to be stuck in traffic along an infamous parking lot (often referred to as Jalan Petitenget), when I turned my head away from the row of cars before me to glance at a little wooden sign attached to half a bicycle!

Numerous guests in the past have opted not to leave the villa for the duration of their stay and really, what’s not to love about Villa Gajah Putih! A tennis court, eighteen metre pool with ocean view gazebo and fully catered bar, pool table, the option of in-house spa treatments, Wi-Fi broadband internet connection, attentive staff to attend to your every need, a well renowned surf break at your back door and an expanse of absolute beachfront from which to view the best of Bali’s sunsets with a chilled cocktail or two! No need to go anywhere else really.

intrigued by the eclectic collection of rustic chairs and tables, enamel pot light shades, bottles in a variety of colours sprouting freshly cut blooms and especially the exquisite aroma emanating from the kitchen at the rear of this rustic little resto.

Opened earlier last year and run by a couple of Italian lads, the food at La Baracca is authentic Italian at its best. The menu offers a multitude of favourites from antipasti for two, mains such as Zuppa di pesce and Milanese di Pollo and not to mention a pizza menu with no less than twenty five different choices!

Made from scratch daily, their pasta is tender and light, without any hint of stodginess that is often the downfall of many who attempt it. La Baracca has perfected the art of pasta. My first selection, Gnocchi al Pesto, was sold out so I opted for the Ravioli that’s Amore. It was love at first bite ( yes, corny but sooooo delicious) and not a skerrick of the traditional tomato and basil sauce remained on the plate as I mopped up every morsel with what was left of the complimentary bread basket.

The owner, apologetic that my first choice was unavailable, sent out a tiramisu to sweeten the deal and I can confirm that did not last long either!

Staff are friendly and eager to please and it is refreshing to see the owners work their magic on the floor, making customers feel like they are experiencing their own little piece of Italy, with very reasonable Bali prices.

With heartwarming comfort food, fresh ingredients, friendly faces and a passion for flavour it is hard to go wrong. Pop in and see the boys at La Baracca and experience Italian flavour at its best.

I have deliberately left mention of their pastas until last as I believe they are the best I have sampled in Bali to date!

the UK with Fitness Professionals and even starring in her own exercise video she really was at the forefront of the fitness revolution.

“I believe the role of a personal trainer and group fitness coach is to motivate, educate and create a commitment from the client. It’s a two way street and together you both produce the fitness magic.”

It was the exciting era of the Les Mills phenomenon and Yvette was lucky enough to be one of the first trainers to travel throughout Europe and the UK, instructing professionals on this new fitness frenzy. Following this she was head hunted by burgeoning group fitness empire Fitness First to move her family to Australia and take on the national role of group fitness manager, consequently instrumental in building the business from 30 clubs to 92 by the time she left in 2010.

Never one to let the grass grow under her feet, Yvette and her fitness professional husband Pete, accepted a position in Bali to develop a boutique fitness club on the island and made the move to this tropical paradise in 2010. That task completed, The Canggu Club was recently fortunate to secure Yvette’s professional expertise as Fitness Manager in 2014.

The ‘Berry Best’ for Frozen Yoghurt It’s a stinking hot day in Bali, (nothing new there!) my ailing Avanza’s air conditioning is barely making a difference and I have finally managed to manoeuvre our car through the horrendous holiday traffic debacle in Seminyak to make our way toward home in Batu Belig. The kids are complaining about being hot and hungry and the cracks in my demeanour (ie ‘sanity’) are beginning to show.

process whereby fruit is pressed to release the nectar along with the maximum amount of nutrients, reducing the level of oxidisation caused by other methods of juicing and retaining the goodness of the original fruit. At Bali Berries you just choose your ingredients from their bounty of fresh fruit arriving daily from local farmers, and let them do the rest.

Searching for a cooler alternative to stave off the impending argument between my back seat passengers, I pull into Bali Berries. Squeals of delight ensue from behind me and as we walk into this little air conditioned oasis and I relax as the kids peruse the colourful jars of jellies before them.

Glancing down the menu suggestions, the ‘Popeye’ juice catches my eye. Clearly, as the name suggests, its a concoction of healthy green stuff including spinach. I settle on a refresher with a different hue and choose the ‘Robust Juice’, a pretty pink mixture of beetroot, grapefruit, apple, mint, lemon, ginger and chia seeds for a bit of crunch!

Let’s face it, anywhere that serves frozen treats in a place where the mercury reaches above 32 degrees by 10am has got to be a winner! Open since April this year, Bali Berries is not just a frozen yoghurt store. Their long list of refreshing options include wheat grass shots, coffee, teas, fresh fruit salads, smoothies and a recent popular trend, cold pressed juices.

This relatively new darling of the health set employs a

It’s deliciously refreshing and chock full of omega 3s and antioxidants to help me endure the remains of the day.

My young charges have chosen a combination of strawberry and plain yogurt and are contemplating the row of toppings to add to the mix. Whilst I would prefer they opt for fresh strawberries, mango or even nuts, I am pretty certain they are eyeing off the choc chips and gummy bears!

Aussie Bakehouse in Bali

Why Batu Bolong? Like many newcomers to the area, Scott and Ali had seen this happening little strip undergo rapid transformation and decided it was the place to be. Judging from the steady stream of hungry customers, it looks like they made the right decision.

Whilst Scott has a history in hospitality management and retail in Australia and Papua New Guinea, this is their

Open seven days a week from 8.30am until 10pm and located at 84 Jalan Subak Sari, Bali Berries is conveniently close and offers a healthy and refreshing solution to beating the Bali heat. I can see it becoming a regular stop for that after school thirst quenching smoothie. A ‘berry’ good idea!

loaves of bread as well as Turkish and raisin breads and of course, the iconic Vegemite scroll. They also make custom birthday cakes and cater for parties as well as wholesaling to villas, hotels and cafes.

Lamingtons, meat pies, sausage rolls, finger buns, vegemite scrolls......Mmmm, I bet those words get some Aussie expat tastebuds watering! Look no further for flavours from the mother country as The Bakery Kartel in Batu Bolong is now baking.

Open just a couple of months, Bakery Kartel owners Scott and Ali Harrison had the idea to start an Australian style bakehouse a few years ago when they were living in Hong Kong. “Like Bali, it was difficult to find the styles of bread, cakes and pies we had come to love in Australia.” Add to the mix another ingredient, a lifelong baker friend with over twenty years experience who was also looking for a sea change and the dream quickly became a reality.

We decide to dine in to take advantage of air conditioning that works (unlike that of my cauldron of a car) along with a few moments of silence as my cherubs’ mouths are busy munching on their frozen treats.

A recent deal with Toby Estate coffee will ensure customers can grab a morning coffee to go with their daily bread.

Ready made rolls and sandwiches are also available for those who need breakfast or lunch on the run.

first foray into food. “Starting a bakery in Bali does come with some challenges!” says Ali. “Sourcing ingredients, particularly the right flours, was a challenge and we spent some weeks trial baking and taste testing prior to opening in order to ensure the product was perfect for sale.”

Something I am sure their family and staff were happy to help with! They are currently looking for like minded local staff who are keen for the opportunity of a new career as a baker and are eager to learn.

The range of tasty temptations at The Bakery Kartel include Aussie meat pies, sausage rolls, quiches, sweet scrolls, cakes, slices, cookies, lamingtons, a range of full block

At present, opening hours are Tuesday to Friday from 8am - 5pm, with Saturdays and Sundays from 7.30am - 5pm.

Late night owls keep a look out as Bakery Kartel may soon be open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings from 8.30pm - 1am, selling pies and sausage rolls for those after some midnight munchies!

The business is only in its infancy and The Bakery Kartel is looking to expand their range and production as they source more staff. Judging from the taste of my rapidly disappearing vanilla slice and vegemite scroll they will have their hands full and customers will be spilling out of the doors come Australia Day! Lamingtons anyone?

Who owns the teak trees in this area?

Siapa... ?

by Bill Dalton

Pak Sutomo:

Javanese Teak Farmer

Tegalan are small private land holdings (tanah pribadi) on high, unirrigated ground. The trees are planted 3-6 m apart, so corn, beans, sugar cane, cassava and peanuts can be cultivated underneath. A perkebunan is a privately owned commercial plantation where only jati trees are grown with one m of space between trees. A perhutanan is a government-owned plantation up 30 sq. km like the one 30 minutes east of Sragen, which we call Hutan Sragen. After 5 years of growth, no other plants can be grown in between the rows of trees in all of these types of teak forests because of the shady leaves.

Are teak trees guarded?

Because teak trees are so valuable, thieves working in teams on the perimeters of plantations are always trying to cut down the most precious trees that are over 10 years old, usually in the very early morning. A forest staff (mandor), living temporarily in a shack in the forest, patrols the plantation 24 hours a day in night and day shifts. If the mandor catch a thief, they turn him over to the mantri, the head of the staff, who takes him to the police.

C/Ns/U-19 Feb 14

How do the thieves work and what do they do with the trees?

Pak Sutomo was born in 1956 in Sragen, one hour east of Solo, central Java. The son of a farmer, the oldest of eight children, he grew up in Karang, a farming village 24 km northeast of Sragen. Pak Sutomo started working in teak (jati) forests when he was eight years old. He has always made his living in one way or the other from the land, growing rice, cultivating crops and taking his cows into the forest to feed. He has never been to Jakarta, but has visited his two daughters in Kalimantan. Pak Sutomo is the proud owner of a 20-meter-high teak tree, the largest in the district on high ground at the top of the village.

What is your job in the teak wood plantation?

I clear and plant trees for the purpose of reforestation (reboisasi). I prepare saplings several months before the rainy season starts in December, so that they are ready to be planted quickly at the start of the rains. After planting the saplings, we plant corn and cassava in between the trees before each wet season for four years. After the trees reach five years of age, we can no longer plant crops underneath because the large leaves of the teak trees block out the sun. When the trees reach maturity in 10 to 15 years, they are cut in August or September while the ground is still dry which makes it easy to use cranes and extract the cut wood on trucks.

How many species of teak trees grow around here?

Two kinds. Super Jati, which originates in the Kediri area, and Jati Lokal, the variety grown naturally in this locality.

Super Jati grows straight with few branches, has beautiful white wood and reaches maturity in only 10 years. If not mature, you can only use this type of teak for furniture inside the house. Jati Lokal is wild teak with wood of a reddish color. It grows at angles with more branches and becomes mature in 15 years. Jati Lokal is higher quality, can last 100 years and even if it’s not mature the cut wood can be exposed to all kinds of weather.

How are teak trees harvested?

One month before harvesting, the bark is first stripped off around the base of the trees. This dries out the wood and makes the trees easier to cut and haul away in trucks. A srekel field milling saw (sensor in Indonesian) and a truck are driven to the plantation to cut down the barked trees.

Balok (planks) are cut as long as possible, right up to the first branch. The longer the planks are, the more money you can get for each plank. We Javanese don’t use any nails in the construction of our wooden limasan and joglo houses, except for the reng (roof tile supports). Carpenters don’t want to connect (sambung) lengths of wood together, but prefer to use just continuous long planks in building because they stronger and nicer looking.

Thieves don’t strip the bark off single trees they want, but just cut the tree down and take the trunks away noiselessly on their shoulders. If the land is wet, they hide the trunk in the mud or in the middle of a sugar cane or corn field and come back at night to fetch it. Trees are sold to house builders at a very low price. The low price is the way that you know that the wood is stolen. I’ve seen armed thieves while planting but I walk away. It’s dangerous and not my job to try to apprehend them. My brother-in-law, while he was guarding a government teak forest, was almost killed in 1974 by tree poachers wielding axes. He bears deep facial scars to this day.

Do teak trees bear fruit?

Teak trees don’t have very pretty flowers, but the seeds from the teak’s fruit are used for planting new trees. The tiny sprouts grow for two months, and then the saplings are replanted in dry soil just before the rainy season so there’s no need to water. The Javanese don’t use plastic but use teak leaves for wrapping raw spices, turmeric, chilies at the market, as well as meals like nasi campur, nasi pecel, etc.

C/Ns/I-05 Feb 14

Besides teak, what other high quality woods are grown in Java?

We Javanese are accustomed to only using teak for building houses and making cabinets, shelves, tables and chairs. Mahoni (mahogany, Swietenia macrophylla), which is susceptible to termites, is inferior to jati and is only used to make inside furniture. Mahoni is not used to build houses because the wood expands during the rainy season and shrinks in the heat of the summer. The only wood that can compete with jati is the rare - yet cheaper - anti-termite hard wood sonokeling (Indian rosewood, Dalbergia latifolia) whose color is even more attractive than jati. The drawback is that sonokeling takes 25 years to grow!

Are teak trees subject to disease?

Teak trees are not attacked by any diseases here, but caterpillars (ulat jati or the Hyblaea puera moth) attack the leaves of young trees during the first rains. These caterpillars actually do not cause the trees any harm and, in fact, stimulate growth and ultimately make the tree grow faster and taller. The larvae of ulat jati are fried in oil with some chili and garlic and eaten by the villagers. Delicious!

MUSIC MATTERS

By Toby Hello again live music fans and welcome to another edition of Music Matters in your local Bali Advertiser. With New Year upon us this issue is all about re-birth and like a phoenix rising from the ashes that’s what new year brings us a fresh start, a clean slate and a chance to do what we set out to achieve the year before.

A couple of weeks back I was moved by an introduction.

A friend of mine said I should come along to a one off event being held in Canggu at a bar called Mrs. Jones’s as it would be right up my street, so after a little consideration (as that particular night the sky was as black as the pit of hell and Canggu is a mean drive) I decided to see what he was on about. I arrived soaked through but curious. I couldn’t have prepared myself for what I saw next on stage was kids, children as young as 4-5 singing pop and Christmas songs!

The corner of the room was reserved for a lady who obviously orchestrated the event and was choreographing the whole thing from a tiny laptop computer. I had a drink sat down shut up and listened. These kids were amazing they really knew how to sing and belted out some great show tunes and Christmas numbers I had never even heard of!

The question going through my befuddled mind at this point is why! Why here, why now, what does all this mean?

The answer like most things in life is pretty simple and a little tragic when you get down to it. The venue was hosting a one off concert for an amateur singing club which through no fault of their own were closing down. And this night was their last performance as the owner of the club an expat lady who did not wish to be named was leaving to go back to her country and was having to disband the club. It’s fair to say she had done an excellent job for these children and had taught them professional singing techniques and much like Stage Coach back home really seemed to have a very positive impact on these little guys’ lives.

The announcement came that the bar would be helping the children and allowing them to come and play / rehearse here free of charge once a month. The children were happy with this and I can see the future is bright for a lot of them. There were some very talented youngsters. All girls I might add, so look out Mariah Carey, as I am sure in future we will be seeing a lot more of these starlets.

things the strangest of which I witnessed two days ago on my commute home driving back from Sanur, I came to the U turn at the bottom of the road near Galleria shopping mall. To my surprise in the corner of the road junction (which was less than six feet wide) was a full band complete with drum kit and their own entourage of paparazzi photographers. It looked like an Indonesian pop band doing what pop bands do best which is creating a spectacle.

The Beatles, Michael Jackson, The Stones even (less pop more angry rap metal) Rage Against The Machine all knew how to create a spectacle to win publicity. I am not sure who they were trying to impress though as the traf¿c continued to get as frustrated as usual despite the music. There is a saying that goes something like, “Music soothes even the savage beast”, however when it comes to Bali traf¿c I guess it’s just not the case.

The other night in the run up to New Year I found myself in Surfers Bar Legian which as I have already mentioned in previous issues is a great place for bands. Tonight being a Saturday was no exception and the house band were kicking ass with some really good and different tracks. I need to mention the fact that these guys who call themselves Imperia have been playing for 3 years and their main inÀuences are the Foo Fighters, Green Day and Pearl Jam, they cranked out a scorching rendition of Learn to Fly, which really pleased the crowd followed by Enter Sandman and also some usual Guns and Roses numbers but all in all a very skilled set up. One criticism was the sound levels as you won’t catch me saying this often but (it was too loud!)

My ears are still ringing like I went to a festival and spent the whole night by a speaker!

2015 promises to be another great year for live music in Bali and beyond.

One particular date for your diary a reader Colman Hopper told me about which is a little further a¿eld is January 18th when newly minted rock sensations Avenged Sevenfold take on Jakarta and bring true metal to Indonesia’s capital city. I will be continuing my mission for live music, and sorting out the crowd funded CD I eluded to in the last issue. Whatever you get up to for the ¿rst keep it live, and have a rocking New Year.

Mrs. Jones bar is like a slice of New Orleans in Bali and I will come and do a gig review on this place very shortly, the owner Martin, has informed me they are interested in getting live blues bands and also rockabilly acts to play here as soon as possible as it is a new bar and still looking for acts.

Anyone interested in playing here should e-mail : Contact@MrsJonesBali.com or just visit the website : If you enjoyed this article or have any questions, concerns, or www.MrsJonesBali.com for more information. if indeed you are the illusive Chris Curtis please don’t hesitate to drop me a line, here to the Bali Advertiser, or alternatively

By Ines Wynn The Bali dog population has been under a lot of stress since the 2008 rabies outbreak. The lucky ones were vaccinated and left alive; many more were culled, a euphemism used by the government to hide the fact that most of these dogs were mercilessly poisoned with strychnine, hunted down and shot or eliminated in other gruesome ways. Fast forward to 2015 and the island is still not rabies-free.

The government’s anti-rabies campaign seems to have a few lethal holes of its own. More culling sprees are planned. Caution about scienti¿c evidence that culling is not an effective means of combating rabies has been compromised. In the earlier stages of the rabies outbreak, the Ubud based Bali Animal Welfare Association (BAWA) played an active role in jumpstarting a campaign of humane anti-rabies vaccination, rather than culling Bali’s population of roaming and owner-less dogs. In partnership with the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) BAWA was successful in getting the government on board and the ¿rst phases of the vaccination program proceeded smoothly. In 2011 the government integrally took over the anti-rabies campaign but due to various challenges, the anticipated “Bali Rabies-Free” goal did not materialize and rabies cases are still being reported.

Understandably, the government is concerned and rabidly intent on getting the problem under control. Trying to vaccinate all the free roaming dogs in Bali is a logistical nightmare and a very complex and lengthy process. Therefore they reverted to the shoot-from-the-hip solution: cull the bunch!

Due to the imminent threat of indiscriminate culling and to protect stray and domesticated dogs alike, BAWA is working with the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) on a program at banjar level named “Village Sanctuaries for Bali Animals”. It focuses on educating and encouraging active participation of villages to protect and care for the animals in their area. The program encourages communities to identify their own challenges with animal welfare and helps them in de¿ning and implementing solutions. Village Sanctuaries started as an IFAW/BAWA pilot in a few Gianyar regency banjars and is expanding rapidly. BAWA’s vision is to eventually transform all of Bali’s traditional communities into natural sanctuaries for animals. The results have been very encouraging. The ¿rst test came in Singapadu, Gianyar, one of the ¿rst pilot villages, which effectively countered the government’s planned elimination of free roaming dogs earlier in 2014.

An Ecological Reminder. It is said that the survival of the human species is totally dependent upon the survival of animal species.

Few people are consciously aware of that fact; others dismiss it as tree hugger and eco warrior sentiment. But scienti¿c studies have demonstrated that the disappearance of a single animal species will impact humanity in such a way that its own survival is at stake.

In On the Origin of Species Charles Darwin discussed the complex ecological web of interactions between animals and plants and pointed out that some important plants species would face extinction if the bumblebee in particular were to disappear. The bee is a vital ecological linchpin and reportedly 100,000 varieties of plants are dependent on its ministrations for continued existence. Many fruits, vegetables, Àowers and other agricultural crops require bees for productive pollination. To summarize this deep interdependence of bees and human civilization: No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.

Other studies have emphasized the ecological interactions between humans, animals and plants- warning us that without a biodiversity of species on this earth, our very survival and quality of life are threatened. The disappearance or the elimination of just one species or subspecies can spell disaster for humankind.

Closer to home BAWA has pointed out repeatedly that the government’s plan to eliminate all roaming and other loose dogs would create a vacuum in the ecological chain that is speci¿c to Bali, with disastrous consequences. In areas where the dog population has been culled there have been massive explosions of rat populations which have caused rice crop failures and the introduction of rat-borne diseases into communities. BAWA advocates that animals be vaccinated rather than killed. Historical disease control data and ongoing global ¿eld experience with rabies management indicate that mass vaccination, not culling, is the best way to control the disease. Vaccination of 60-70% of

the dog population in a given area will effectively reduce diseases such as rabies. If dogs are eliminated, herd immunity is lost, essentially never winning the battle to eradicate rabies from the island.

The Sanctuaries Program. In pre-rabies days the Bali dog population was estimated to be approximately 600,000. With the outbreak of rabies and the ensuing mass culling, the number dropped to about 150,000 dogs. If numbers continue to drop, the Bali dog will be at risk of extinction. In banjars where all the dogs have been culled people often bring puppies and other dogs in from outside at the risk of spreading rabies; therefore the vicious cycle continues. Aside from organized culling, up to 100,000 dogs’ lives are lost every year to the dog meat trade, acts of cruelty, disease, motor vehicle accidents and basic neglect. The situation is dire and the magni¿cent Bali heritage dog is under threat.

To counter this challenge, BAWA’s founder Janice Girardi partnered with IFAW to create an educational pilot program in Bali schools and villages called the Participate Learn Act (PLA). PLA is encouraging new thinking and a new approach to animal welfare. Using the PLA program as a foundation, BAWA and IFAW want to turn Bali communities into autonomous animal sanctuaries. This ambitious but highly promising program is still in its infancy, both presenting challenges and realizing successes. This grassroots program has already been implemented in some traditional communities in Gianyar.

The program has a dedicated team of vets and educators working at banjar level and the goal of the program is foremost to change attitudes. They follow a 5-step program in selected villages and work cooperatively with the villagers to create a healthy environment for both villagers and the dogs that are part of their community. Over the last three years the PLA team has successfully created sanctuaries in 16 banjars.

A 5-step program.

When a particular village has been identified as a suitable locale for the program, the team gets in action by making the first contact with the head of the village to talk about their particular dog situation. The key to the discussion is the question of whether they want this situation improved, and if so, if they would be willing to work with BAWA. The team ¿nds that in most cases the village chiefs are open to the idea because they understand that the program can be of utmost bene¿t to their community at little or no cost. In a second step, a formal meeting is organized with all interested villagers including a mix of people with varying degrees of dog love or dislike. During the meeting, the villagers are encouraged to talk about their perceptions, attitudes, feelings and the problems they see with the roaming dogs in their area. The PLA team acts as facilitator and will ask leading questions to uncover the villagers’ attitudes towards the dogs. In the process they encounter a lot of misperceptions, misconceptions due to ignorance, lack of awareness and lack of empathy. They hear dogs described as dirty, disease-ridden, ferocious and unwanted. On the other hand dogs can also be appreciated as pets and the house compound’s valued “satpam”.

The entire goal of this meeting is to hear the villagers de¿ne the problems. The team will then do its homework and prepare for a follow-up meeting in a 3rd step to review the identi¿ed problems with the villagers and ask them to prioritize. The villagers will decide themselves which are the most pressing issues. Invariably they will identity the problems created by sick or aggressive dogs, and the unending supply of puppy litters. After that, it is easy for BAWA to formulate effective solutions and offer intervention. In the 4th step, they will come to treat the sick dogs and vaccinate and sterilize the rest of the dog population. At the same time they will liaise with the community about the many bene¿ts of keeping the dogs in their midst and build up the empathy and interest for the animals. The ¿nal result is that minds are more open and people will adjust their attitudes to be kinder to the dogs. When

the villages understand that they can always call on BAWA to treat sick and abandoned dogs or to counter any perceived dog problem, they are more inclined to active participation and taking more responsibility for the care of the dogs in their midst. Some villagers will even start rescuing and caring for street dogs in need, sometimes even calling and paying private vets themselves.

The Sanctuaries program will also involve the village children by arranging meetings to educate them by playing fun games, do role playing and get the children enthused about the dogs as playmates and protectors.

Good results. The Village Sanctuary program is a long process that requires a lot of patience and determination. It takes time to change entrenched attitudes and open minds. But the results are very encouraging. Mind-sets do begin to change and eventually the PLA team sees villagers becoming proud of resolving the problems, appreciating their healthy animals and becoming true dog enthusiasts. Understanding the importance of preserving the genetic integrity of Bali’s heritage dog, a group of young men in Tengkulak started SABU (Sekehe Asu Bali Utama), the ¿rst Bali Dog Lovers Club. The 45 members of the club have since adopted 20 rescued dogs from BAWA. There are now four active Bali Dog clubs in Gianyar regency to support the indigenous Bali dog, with the ¿rst ever Bali Kids’ Dog Club recently launched on 25 December in Banjar Abangan. Those are very heartening results, says Janice, and these have given us the determination to continue and expand our education program, to eventually reach into all Bali communities. Just imagine an island on which every village is a sanctuary for animals and where humane population control and the practice of animal welfare mean that no animal is without care and protection.

Another fallout of the program is the good billing it is getting in other villages. Word does get around fast in Bali and some village leaders and the villagers themselves are bragging about the success of the program with the result that BAWA is getting more inquiries and requests from other villages who want to be included in the village sanctuary program.

Educating Children, Families and Communities in Animal Welfare. The Sanctuary Program is actually a natural extension of BAWA’s pre-existing Education & Advocacy Program. In 2013 BAWA has educated more than 28,000 students in Bali schools on the importance of animal welfare and teaching them to respect, learn compassion for animals and end cruelty. Animal welfare in Bali is not widely recognized, resulting in tens of thousands of cruelty cases every year. This program is helping to change attitudes step by step and aims to stop cruelty before it happens.

This approach focuses on working with communities, schools, families and community leaders over a long period of time in order to bring about a change in attitude towards animals.

Whilst much of the benefits of this program can be seen now, the real impact will be seen years into the future, when the next generation will stand up for animals instead of abusing them.

Janice has taken inspiration from primatologist Jane Goodall who has repeatedly stressed that education can and does raise awareness about conservation issues. It is clear that we humans need to better understand, share with, and live with the other species on earth if we want to save this planet from extinction.

With special thanks to Janice Girardi and the dedicated BAWA team.

Restaurant Review

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

A Serious Restaurant!

Italian is a simple cuisine so why complicate it. The secret, as with many old traditional cuisines, is the quality of the ingredients.

Just visit any early morning food market in Italy and watch the women handling and selecting each piece of fruit and vegetable, each must be perfect for what it is intended for.

Near enough is never good enough. There is no comparison between those luscious tomatoes from Marzano and the watery versions without taste from market gardens elsewhere, and so the list goes on.

Raised in Sydney, where quality Italian restaurants abound, I had been eating Italian regularly since mid teens, yet 15 years later on my first visit to Italy [Milano] I was shocked to discover that I knew nothing about Italian food, it was all so different….the major reason was the available ingredients!

My first meal in Milano so many years ago was similar to my first meal at Seminyak Italian restaurant at the new luxury Double Six Hotel. Robert Marchetti does it perfectly. Starters were Raw Yellow Fin Tuna, on almost every quality menu in Bali you say? Correct but prepare yourself for something totally different, the layered tuna has been marinated in basil oil with fresh baby basil, lemon and pomegranate. The tuna has just been sliced from the fish ‘a la minute’, its freshness obvious by the taste, the subtle flavours are complemented by the wonderful finish of crunching the icy cold pomegranate bubbles.

It then got even better.

Salumi is an integral part of Italian cuisine, meat products mainly pork apart from the beef bresoala. The description here is ‘Everything we have’ and that is what you get. Rows of perfect sliced ham, prosciutto, bresoala, and the best mortadella I have ever tasted, together with chunks of salami and Italian sausage spread across the plate [pictured]. There is enough to share, if you are not too greedy, but it is impossible to stop taking yet another piece. The basket of freshly cut crusty Italian bread and bread sticks have already been delivered to your table, no need to order it, and all included, no extra cost [in Italy you would probably be charged for each piece you took?].

Pasta? You can not eat an Italian meal without a plate of pasta. I love Ravioli but here in Bali and most everywhere else outside of Italy it is far too often too thick and ‘doughy’, and sadly not cooked correctly. At Seminyak Italian the Ravioli Zucca takes you by surprise. The sachets are so thin they could almost be described as delicate, stuffed with pumpkin and mustard fruits and floating in a sea of burnt sage butter. First bite and the flavours are released, you eat them one by one, savoring the taste combination.

Upon visiting Seminyak Italian, it is on the mezzanine of the Double Six Hotel [just between where the bungy tower and the disco bar used to be on the ‘66’ of old], there are two glassed-in rooms worth looking at.. the air controlled Salumi room [the crusty Italian breads are also kept here so they stay fresh till served] and the pasta room where an impressive Italian pasta machine turns out perfect pasta of every shape and size.

The front terrace has an amazing material overhead that reduces the UV rays by 80%, so you sit in the open without the heat, a gentle breeze wafts over you from the ocean just in front.

This is a traditional Italian restaurant so you will find all the menu items that you expect, no chef’s creations. Why try to change a cuisine that has been tested by time? Although Rob Marchetti does do a couple of them ‘My Way’ just like Frankie did.

The Beef Carpaccio is Bresaola [air dried] with a salad of roasted hazelnuts, white peach, watercress and horseradish, sprinkled with 10yo balsamic. Prosciutto is with old Reggiano and hot pastry scrolls. Mixed Salami is with warm marinated olives and grissini.

My only criticism is the over-zealous service [perhaps ex cruise ship with some of those annoying ‘Americanisms’], I much prefer the natural Bali smile even if that means the ensuing service is not quite as professional, after all this is Bali! And as for being quizzed by a supposed PR girl as to whether you had actually stayed in the hotel and if not where and why you are there [whilst eating] is just as bad as it can get, and certainly not good PR! Enjoy the wonderful Italian cuisine as it was meant to be, sitting at the outside deck gazing across the ocean you may even think you are on the Mediterranean.

QUICK REVIEW

Calamari Fritti is with zucchini, garlic aioli and mint [touched with green Tabasco and lemon], Arancini [4 cheeses and lemon] and Frittata [with black truffles] are all on the entree list as is a perfect Salt Baked Baby Beetroot Salad, tossed with fresh goats curd, beet juice, beet pepper, spring onions and shallots.

Overall

: Casual dining but food of the highest quality.

Minute Steak often means thin and dry, a piece of leather!

Not under Rob Marchetti’s care. He insists that it can only be cooked rare, just seared. A thin slice of imported rib eye of beef, drizzled with anchovy garlic butter, what could be better when all you want is a small meal with taste.

The desserts include all the favourites but the Tiramisu is a must for every visit. This is one of chef’s very special specials….it arrives with the waiter via a large serving bowl and it is ladled in to your plate in front of you. Always looks too big but it soon disappears, piles of strega, marsala, espresso, vanilla sponge and mascarpone. Then there is the crisp sweet Sicilian Cannoli filled with ricotta-candied fruits, chocolate zabaglione, vanilla cream and strawberry honey.

I know that many people avoid restaurants located in hotels.

Too often they are overpriced and worse still, bland in taste.

Seminyak Italian is different, reasonably priced for Bali and cheap by international standard. However I am shocked that in five visits, admittedly all lunch time or early afternoon, this 150+ seat restaurant has been empty, twice I was the lone diner.

Wake up Bali, this is a serious restaurant!

Update Kitchen Table is at the idyllic Sanak Resort, nestled in the mountains behind Munduk, on Bali’s northern coast. Many of the menu ingredients come from their own organic gardens and those of nearby farmers. The food is kept quite simple but put together with great attention to detail. The Pumpkin Mousse is with a strawberry balsamic dressing, a Lumpia Trio is three crisp spring rolls, each with their own unique dipping sauce; vegetarian with sweet & sour, chicken with peanut and prawn with hoisin. The Young Papaya Julienne Salad is with apple, mango & grated carrot and served with a chicken wonton, Tuna Tataki is fresh tuna just seared [pictured], coated with sesame seeds served with wasabi mayonnaise. The Seafood Soup is done Bali style with local spices and pieces of banana stem. Mains include many grills including a Whole Fish cooked with Balinese spices. It is one of a few dishes that are big enough for two persons to share, others include Whole Organic Chicken [must be pre-ordered to enable correct preparation as does the Ayam & Bebek Betutu], Mixed Skewers and Pepes Ikan & Ayam [spiced chicken and fish wrapped in banana leaf]. The Gulai Kambing is young lamb that has been slowly braised in a curry broth. So relaxing dining in this magic mountain retreat.

Dam is a strange name for a Chinese restaurant. It is on Jln. Danau Poso in Sanur, a small clean little café that specializes in dumplings and noodles, and very budget priced.

Cantonese style dumplings are a snack that you can eat any time of the day, or at least I can! All the most popular types are here; Bean Curd Skin Rolls [stuffed with chicken or shrimp], BBQ Pork Buns and Shrimp Dumplings [both steamed], Shomai, glutinous Rice Paper Rolls with stuffing and sauce, deep-fried Shrimp Balls. Lunch Time is even cheaper if you select from their 6 lunch specials [@ an amazing Rp 45,000]. Normal a la carte includes many Cantonese dishes including Roasted Duck or Chicken.

Bon Chon Chicken has arrived in Denpasar, at the roundabout on Teuku Umar. The

NC/R/G-07 Jan. 15

Korean chicken chain that has been taking on the giant US chicken franchises in the USA [and done quite well, have not even been ‘battered’] has now opened its 2nd Bali location [after its 1st at Beachwalk] after a number of outlets in Java. As it is Indonesia the local favourite, Iced Lemon Tea, is on the drinks list menu and to remind you that the product was developed in Korea Kimchi [fermented cabbage with chilli] can be ordered as a side dish or even as a soup. Packets with udon noodles and seafood offerings of crispy shrimp [what Americans call prawns] are menu extras to add to the basic fried chicken options.

You can order chicken by legs, breast or wings.

Starry House has re-opened in Sanur [Jln. Danau Tamblingan where there was once a fine Spanish restaurant]. It had been closed for a few months. Renovations? Does not look very different, maybe new management but no one seems to know as even the staff also seem to be new. Menu is mainly Cantonese, the usual oversized menu offering a base selection of meat and fish done every which way; sweet and sour, black bean, oyster, black pepper, etc. A small range of dim sum is also available.

Hajun Lokal, Jln. Sari Wedari in Taman, 200 metres north of Jln. Raya Ubud, brings the Will Meyrick Sarong-MamaSan group to Ubud. Same-same but different! It is a mix of local and international dishes in the Will Meyrick tradition of Asian style, with taste. He never tones down the original just to suit a small group of unadventurous diners. The menu concentrates on locally sourced ingredients and the ‘small plates’ section [my description] provides the ideal opportunity to experiment and to try new dishes, order many and share. The problem is that there are so many interesting dishes to try it will take many visits. To start a Tuna Ceviche with a difference… with roasted chili, edamame, black beans, mint, parsley and white anchovies. A simple Soft Egg Salad is tossed with fresh prawns, green papaya, carrot, peanuts, chili and crushed homemade chorizo. Snapper is cured Sri-Lankan style and combined with mint, shredded coconut, lime juice and salmon fish roe. Goat Sausage is unusual for a Bali menu, it is served with pickled beetroot, goats curds, shallots, and a dressing of sweet soya and chili lime. A Will Meyrick restaurant without a betel leaf dish, impossible! This one has curried crab combined with vermicelli noodles, spur chilies and coriander. This is only a small part of the menu and already the taste buds are working overtime. If you really want to stretch your taste imagination how about one of the ‘big’ plates…Smoked Duck [in wood-fired oven] after having been stuffed with spiced cassava leaves, duck innards, shredded confit legs and a chai tea ‘n’soy jus?

Trattoria has opened another franchise in Bali, this time on Jln. Danau Tamblingan, Sanur. Trattoria made their name, for budget priced pasta, at their original home on Jln, Laksmana, Kerobokan. Amongst the favourite offerings are usually Tortelli in Salsa Rosa, tortelli stuffed with meat and spinach, in tomato cream sauce and Bucatino Amatriciana, bucatini pasta with tomato sauce, bacon, parmesan cheese and chilli flakes. Main courses take a back seat but there is a Chicken Breast in Lemon and a Scallopina using pork rather than the traditional veal which would have been a high cost import. Dessert? What else but Panna Cotta and Tiramisu?

J n C says it all. Anyone who has ever stopped at the traffic lights at Jln. Tirta Nadi whilst waiting to cross The ByPass at Blanjong will have seen the sign, and the rotisserie at front with chickens slowly revolving, tempting your taste buds [is there any better way to cook chicken?] at this small roadside café [large communal table inside, small ones on the outside covered garden terrace]. The chickens here are always with crisp skin and juicy flesh, J and C [juicy and crisp]. Whilst the chickens are available every day, either by the whole chicken or a half [only Rp.50,000] their special Spare Ribs are only barbecued Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays…the smart locals call around 5.00 p.m. to collect them hot from the grill, they come with their spicy BBQ sauce. Side dishes here can be Oven Baked Potato with a variety of dressings, Creamy Potato with onion, garlic and nutmeg or salads/slaw, or rice of course.

Creating a Phenomenal Life in 2015 & Beyond

Many people make New Year’s resolutions with the best of intentions, but sadly, there is seldom any follow through.

Perhaps this is because we return to our daily lives and our stories? Or maybe we think our intentions are not practical or will just be too difficult to actualize in our lives? There seems to be an invisible block that we try and try to get past but we never or rarely succeed in doing so. The end result is that we sometimes become even more jaded about our life and our dreams for the future.

This is all sounding pretty depressing so let’s approach it from a totally different perspective. What if I told you that happiness is just a choice – that YOU have the capacity to create your life exactly the way that you want to; all you have to do is choose. Our lives are made up of the puzzle pieces of choices that we have made along the way. A woman in an abusive marriage walks away and starts a whole new life. Another woman chooses to stay in her abusive marriage and she becomes an alcoholic. A young man at the age of 18 decides to have a vasectomy so he will never create life.

Years later he meets a woman from Ireland and they fall in love. She has always dreamed of having children, but his choice has made this a near impossibility. As much as he loves her, he still refuses to do surgery to reverse his vasectomy. The relationship ends.

Life affords us so many possibilities that it can be difficult to choose. We don’t always know what our choice will create five, ten or even twenty years down the road, but we can get the energy of what our choice could create by perceiving it in our being -- our hearts.

It’s time to create your phenomenal life! Here are some fun and easy tools that you can use: 1. When you are thinking about an important decision you need to make whether it has to do with buying a car or getting married, close your eyes and ask: “If I choose this, what will my life be like in five years? 10 years? 20 years?” Then wait and get the energy of it. What you’re looking for is either a light, expansive feeling which is a big YES! Or, a heaviness or constricting feeling in your body which is a definite NO! This tool takes a little practice but the more you use it the easier it will be for you to just know what choice will be the best one for you.

you like to move today? What would you like to eat?” Thank your body for all the support it has given you. Stop judging it! Whatever we judge we lock that into place. I’ll repeat that so you really hear it. WHATEVER WE JUDGE WE LOCK THAT INTO PLACE. So imagine if you were kind to your body, how would it respond to you? Your body actually has its own consciousness. This may sound strange but it’s true.

Many other New Year’s resolutions that loads of people make often have to do with judgments of what they feel they are doing wrong and what they think would be right. What if you could stop functioning from what’s right, good and perfect or what’s wrong, mean and vicious? What if you could begin to see how magnificent you truly are?

4. Be kind to you! Whenever you buy into other people’s points of views about you being bad or wrong, you are being unkind to you. Whenever you talk to yourself negatively, blame or shame you, you’re literally destroying you. The next time you find yourself going down that rabbit hole, would you please try this tool instead? Just say: “interesting point of view, I have that point of view.” Or if someone is saying something mean about you to you, then say: “Interesting point of view, s/he has that point of view.” I once did this for two weeks straight and I became a walking meditation. I felt this incredible peace within me as I recognized that everything was just an interesting point of view.

5. Let go of your past and start asking questions about who you want to be today – in this moment. When we hold on to the past, we can’t see our future possibilities. While it’s true that many people have been through traumatic events which have altered their lives, these experiences have also been the stepping stones for who they have become. We all have the choice to be limited by these experiences or be empowered to be even greater. Every choice we make creates awareness and even more possibilities. I invite you to create your phenomenal life today. Just choose it!

2. Stop complaining! Choose your thoughts and feelings carefully. Energy follows thought, so what you think you will create. You could even begin your day by asking: “What grand and glorious adventure will I have today?” This sets a more light-hearted tone which will motivate and inspire you to have a wonderful day.

Hardware reviews - what’s new and what’s good

Here is 2014’s latest and greatest computer hardware to make your computer life easier than ever before. Huge hard drives; incredible monitors; lightweight but powerful laptops; new CPUs; amazing video cards; water coolers; and more. I’ve tried to ¿nd good prices for many of the items listed below, but shop around. I used bestbuy.com for most of these prices.

Processors • High-end Processor (CPU): Intel 3.0GHz Core i7-5960X (Haswell-E). 8 Core, 20MB cache. You will need a socket 2011-v3 mobo and DDR4 Ram! US$1,022 • Mid-Range Processor (CPU): Intel 4GHz Core i7-4790K . Best for the money! Does need DDR4 RAM. US$329 • Budget Processor (CPU): AMD 4.0GHz FX-8350 Black Edition. Budget BUT with 8 Cores and high clock speed US$150.

Motherboard • Motherboard: Asus X99-Deluxe. Built in WI-FI dual LAN ports, SATA 6Gbps ports and more. US$385 Video Cards • Single-GPU video card: GeForce GTX 980 - with optimizations Nvidia made to Maxwell’s CUDA cores, it offers better performance in some games and comparable performance in others. US$590 • Performance Videocard (US$300+): Gigabyte Radeon R9 290X OC – Very powerful and about US$150 less that the GeForce GTX 980.

• Mid-Range Video Card (less than $300): Asus Radeon R9 290 DirectCU II OC - “tremendous price-to-performance ratio”! US$415 • Budget Video Card (less than $200): PowerColor TurboDuo AXR9 280 - this card packs a performance punch well above its asking price. It’s generally faster than Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 760 and more affordable Hard Drives • Hard Drive (Performance): Samsung 850 Pro Series Solid State Drice – VERY fast HD due to their 3D vertical NAND Àash memory, which staks 32 cell layers on top of one another. 128GB - US$111 • Hard Drive (Capacity): Seagate Barracuda 4TB with improved performance US$229 • BlackX Urban WiFi Hard Drive Dock • Thermaltake has offered hard drive docks for years. The BlackX Urban WiFi, though, adds (as you can probably guess) Wi-Fi functionality. Connect the dock to your network, drop in any bare 2.5- or 3.5-inch drive, and you’ll be able to access the ¿les on the drive from any device on your network. Android and iOS are supported as well. Expect to pay about $80.

Air & Water coolers • Budget Air Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo - The massive cooler is the best-performing air cooler, and it ships with two 14cm fans. It even comes in your choice of white/aluminum, red, blue, or orange. The huge heatsink does interfere with tall RAM heatspreaders, but if you need best-in-class air cooling, try Phanteks. US$35 • High-End Air Cooler: Phanteks PH-TC14PE - The H100i is pretty much the best 240mm radiator that we’ve seen.

The performance and noise levels are excellent, and it gets a sturdy metal backplate, unlike most of its competitors.

The ¿ve-year warranty. US$79 • Water Cooling System: Corsair H100i. YES, WATER cooled! US$105 • Thermaltake Massive TM Laptop Cooler - Like chassis fans, laptop coolers usually aren’t all that thrilling, either, but the Thermaltake Massive TM cooler is one of the more complicated models we’ve seen. It’s far from a mere dumb platform; its two 120mm fans are regulated by four temperature sensors that measure heat output from the bottom of your laptop. A digital readout displays temperature, and buttons let you adjust fan settings manually. Thermaltake says it should sell for $39.99.

Towers • Full-Tower Case: Corsair 900D - room for a combination of nine SSDs and HDDs, four GPUs, dual PSUs and still room left over for water cooling enthusiasts. US$315 • Midtower Case: Thermaltake New Soprano - Chassis fans running at high RPMs can get loud, but the Kick Ass Thermaltake New Soprano case does a great job with soundproo¿ng. The chassis also offers good cooling, easy installation, and slick aesthetics. US$199 Monitors • 30-Inch Professional Display: Asus PQ321Q - 4K is the next frontier in panel technology, truly is the best of the best. US$1,501 • Gaming Monitor: Asus PB279Q 27” with 4K resolution and 10 bit color. US$299 • Mid-range Monitor: Asus PA238Q – best value. US$269 Speakers and headsets • Gaming Speakers: Corsair SP2500 Gaming Audio Speakers - Corsair has established a new high-water mark for computer audio. US$229 • Gaming Headset: Razer Tiamat 7.1 Gaming Headset - powerful bass and is super comfortable. US$182 Mouse • Gaming Mouse: Cyborg R.A.T. 7 - Completely customizable, comfortable, and packing some excellent, unique features, this mouse is a winner. US$85 Keyboards • Gaming Keyboard: Razer BlackWidow Ultimate - The BlackWidow is the ¿rst keyboard that marries high-quality mechanical switches with a full gaming featureset, including extra keys and on-the-Ày macro recording. US$89 • Logitech Wireless Combo MK270 with Keyboard and Mouse - In addition, there is a full-size keyboard with quiet, low-pro ¿le keys plus a portable contoured mouse for comfortable control. US$20 Blu-ray burner • Blu-ray Burner: Lite-On iHBS212-08 – no prices Router • Wi-Fi Router: Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight – longer distances! US$109 Portables • Ultraportable: Acer Aspire S7 - The notebook is beautiful, well-built, and offers impressive performance. US$1180 • Gaming Notebook: Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 - Dolby-tuned sound ¿lls your ear cavities, and a Core i7 CPU warms the cockles of your gamer heart.

• Business-Class laptop: HP Elitebook 1020 SE – thinnest and lightest. ============================================================================================ Have a question or problem? Write me at BaliPCAdvisor@Gmail.com. I’ll try and answer as soon as I can.

Say What?

Question: This is my first proper relationship. For the first 3 years it was long-distance; now we have been living together for a year and a half. Her mother died a year before she moved here to Bali to be with me. It was a terrible time for us, and I did my best to support her through it. Living together has been an intense experience riddled with multiplying arguments. She tends to get extremely agitated by insignificant details and lashes out in frustration at me because I’m the only one who’s there. I suffer from depression and a generally defeatist attitude, so most of the time I’d rather shut up and suffer in silence than make an effort to communicate my problems. I spend a considerable amount of time taking the stream of verbal abuse that accompanies her episodes and have been seeking help for my depression, but so far I haven’t made any progress.

Mainly I’m unhappy. I care a lot about her, but I’m getting fed up with her tantrums, and I feel as if we have nothing much in common. I can’t break up with her because, since her mother’s death, I’m the closest family she has left and, given her behavior and her mother’s history of mental illness, I’m afraid she will hurt herself if I do.

I don’t feel as if I can deal with my own problems while maintaining this relationship, and it makes me feel worthless to be consistently failing at it. I’m stuck in a situation I don’t want to be in, with no one in my life who I can talk to about any of this, particularly about how guilty I feel for feeling this way.

Dr. ZZ: Although this is your first romantic relationship, it doesn’t have to be your last. You can love someone and have special feelings for them, and they can still not be the right person with whom to have a happy life. Love does not have to be as hard as the history you’re describing. You can’t make something work that isn’t working. The amount of effort you’ve put into the relationship does not count if you are deeply unhappy. Moving in with your girlfriend was not a failure; it gave you some important information. The two of you had to find out, without the drama of separation, that you guys don’t work well together.

If you break up with her, and she hurts herself, that is not your fault. She is an adult, and you can’t stay with her out of fear or guilt. Line up a counselor for yourself, start treating your depression. Talk to the counselor about this issue, and recommend that your girlfriend talk to someone too. Acknowledge your fears, do what you can to put a support system in place, work on logistics, and put aside some money to help ease the transition ahead for her.

That money can be her “ticket home” fund or a “renting a place elsewhere for a month” fund while she makes new plans. It’s always difficult when you have to end a relationship with someone you care for, but you are doing the right thing by heeding the signal of your own unhappiness.

Question: I have a friend who has been in a long distance relationship for a few months with a guy she met online. He started making plans to come here to meet her face-to-face but, at the last minute, she said no because she decided that if they met in person, he would find her disgusting (her exact words) and dislike her. Even if he doesn’t voice it, she says that’s only because he’s too nice.

These two Skype often and have seen each other in photos and through webcam. He’s perfectly aware what she looks like, and there’s no reason to suppose he’d feel any different in person. I’ve tried telling her that she’s acting silly, and that she’s lovely. Even if she weren’t, he’s in love with her, not with her looks. She is very self-conscious about the way she looks and feels that her “real life” friends are friends with her only because they grew up together and are used to her appearance. She thinks that if people who know her online were to know what she looks like, they would stop being friends with her and stop being interested in having her around.

In my attempt to make her see that she is in no way ugly or repulsive, and that even if she were, people wouldn’t stop being friends with her over it, I feel as if I am pressuring her into a situation in which she doesn’t feel comfortable. I’m not actually making her feel any better about herself. I also realize that this is none of my business, and I shouldn’t meddle. But she’s my friend, and I feel protective of her. It breaks my heart to see her so uncomfortable in her own skin and to be unable to fix it. Please give me some advice on how to be supportive without being pushy, and on how to help her deal with this situation.

Dr. ZZ: You already said it: It’s none of your business. So tell your friend you love her, and remove yourself from the urge to meddle. For whatever reason, she decided not to meet this guy in person. It could be jitters. It could be what she told you. It could be that she likes the whole situation better in theory than practice. Whatever it is, you have no control over it. Nothing is happening between these two until both of them tell you it’s happening. Disengage.

TOKO BUKU

Reviews of English language books on Indonesia

Menagerie 3 by Lontar Foundation As is the case with every volume in Lontar’s enduring and lively Menagerie series, this potpourri of literary pieces has a great deal of variety. About half the book comprises the masterful short stories of Idrus written against the backdrop of tumultuous historic events, but the collection also includes a provocative black and white photo essay and accompany text from East Timor under brutal Indonesian rule, an anguish-¿lled 8-page prose poem, ¿ctional accounts taken from life about the courageous actions of individual women, an essay on the conÀict between liberal Islamic thought versus the forces of a more orthodox interpretation of Islam and an essay on restrictions placed on academic freedom.

A story with the sarcastic title “The New Java” is a harrowing account of the atmosphere found in wartime Java in a time of critical food shortages amid forced deliveries of rice to Japan, starving women selling their bodies, stick-¿gured street urchins, naked beggars wandering the streets and radio broadcasts night and day blaring propaganda.

Idrus lean and masculine writing style bereft of any Àowery verbiage is strikingly evident in “Heiho,” a bitter tale (with a surprise ending) of a young husband joining the Japanese contingent for native Indonesians called Heiho, who were actually nothing more than houseboys and slave laborers.

In “His Balance Recovered,” an Indonesian betrays his country while working as an NICA intelligence spy for the Netherlands East Indies Civil Administration until pangs of conscience lead him to turn himself in to the Republican police.

Idrus (1921-1979), one of the best Indonesian writers of the modern era, ironically produced most of his best work in Malaysia during self-imposed exile. He rose to prominence during the Indonesian revolution and has remained a respected literary ¿gure ever since. I love this writer’s directness, at opposite pole to the reserved Javanese obliqueness of expression with its many checks on passion and displeasure. What a ¿nd!

The essay “Lessons on Scholarship” by Melanie Budianta, a damming condemnation of Indonesia’s tertiary education system, relates how academic censorship is imposed upon a lecturer not by the government, senior lecturers or the school’s Dean, but by one of her students. It’s a warning on how religious fanaticism is able to severely handicap academic freedom.

Idrus mapped out new ways to use the Indonesian language. He doesn’t mess around, but deals with simple human themes, employing a frankness that was uncommon in his day. There are no Àorid speeches or niceties as he relates events as they happen succinctly and at a refreshing fast pace. The introduction by Martyn Cove of Idrus’s life, which spans the colonial, Japanese occupation and revolutionary periods, is outstanding, one of the best “short stories” in the book.

Another provocative essay by Stanley Y. Adiprasetyo confronts the wholesale banning of books in Indonesia whose government holds some kind of record by banning 2000 books in the 30 years prior to 1996. Starting with the crackdown on the PKI in 1965 with the total banning of communist literature, the government went on to ban books on sex education, science, history and ¿ction. Even the autobiographical memoir of one of the country’s greatest national independence heroes, Aceh’s warrior queen Oei Tjoe Tat, was banned!

Isrus’s realistic depictions of a very difficult time in Indonesia’s modern history are more visceral and tactile than a history book would ever be able to impart. As becomes apparent from reading – “Ave Maria,” “Evil Takes Revenge,” “Sketches from the Underground,” “Surabaya,” etc. – Idrus was a gifted storyteller who wrote about ordinary people who were distinguished by some odd characteristic, circumstance or misfortune.

The nostalgic “Paris, April 29” by Bondan Winarno tells of a lonely Time magazine reporter who is living in Paris during the fall of Saigon in April 1975. Walking the streets, he brieÀy joins his fellow journalists at a celebratory party, but inwardly he achingly longs for the sweetheart he left behind in Saigon. “Abus” also by Winarno, relates a boy’s belated act of penitence for a prank he perpetuated years earlier on a devout but cranky old man.

“Surabaya,” the book’s most vivid story, recreates the tension, excitement and fear in the streets of the newly liberated city before Allied forces landed which triggered the Battle of Surabaya in October 1945, leaving thousands dead from bombing and tank ¿re. The empty streets, stray barking dogs, clouds of black smoke, explosions and riÀe shots ringing out, predatory rapists and black marketeers and streams of desperate refugees are powerfully evoked.

The writer stands back a distance from his characters, depicting no individual or group in heroic terms. While castigating the Allies, Idrus also criticizes the cowardice, sel¿shness, per¿dy and greed of his own people, yet somehow the story is passionately nationalistic.

“A New Parliament has Opened in my House” is a clever piece describing the corruption of the new Indonesian parliamentary system of the 1950s. A mock parliamentarian session is held in the narrator’s own home, in which his four children evaluate and pass judgment their father’s performance. One can’t help but feel this is an allegory of the new country’s chaotic DPR where members acted with the ill-advised impetuousness of children. The riveting “Oh, Oh, Oh” is a tight, sparely written story of a train’s journey through West Java. Cruel and fateful events occur along the way - a cripple falling from the train, a policeman con¿scating peoples’ contraband, the movement of the train like a remorseless and implacable force of evil, sadness and resignation.

Idrus was eyewitness to the terrible effects of the occupation, and resented the Japanese bitterly. “The Shorts” is a melancholy tale of a boy, his new pair of shorts and the prospect of a life of misery and hopelessness in the face of war. “From Kota to Harmoni” relates a fetid smelly train packed with passengers traveling from Kota

“The Longan Tree” is a moving story of a woman’s eviction from her tranquil home to make way for an airport and huge tourist resort. The matriarch’s six children had already left the nest and made new lives for themselves in far away places all over Indonesia and Australia. In this house, where her husband died and generations of her family had lived, she raised six children, hid guns for guerillas during the revolution and where she cultivated a prized longan tree, a metaphorical symbol of endurance which is about to come to an end.

This volume stands out in the Menagerie series for its emphasis on freedom of expression, the empowerment of women and portrayals of Àawed, cynical, irresponsible yet sympathetic characters. The 33 surreal, nihilistic and farcical works are conveyed with great force in a variety of themes - erudite and thoughtful essays, experimental metaphysical prose poems and dramatic photos – all counterbalancing each other and lending artistic spice.

Idrus’s wrenching short stories have a contemporary feel even though some were written over 50 years ago. The hope and courage, as well as the venality and religious conÀict in the new republic - all critical issues of the time – recur in the present day.

HECTOR’S BAWA with a Bang BAWA, the pre-eminent animal welfare organization on the island because of focused effort and the seminal role played by founder Janice Girardi in dealing with rabies when it broke out in Bali in 2008 – the disease is now endemic, but that’s Indonesian bureaucracy for you – ended 2014 with a bang, though not one that would frighten the doggies. It held a Bridge to New Year fundraising dinner on Dec. 29 at Ubud’s Taksu Restaurant, an event at which the organization was able to brief guests on its plans for 2015 and beyond. It came complete with musical entertainment provided by BAWA staff members who, when they’re not doing their day jobs, sing and strum a guitar with enthusiastic aplomb.

Earlier in December BAWA announced a real coup. Ubud prince Cok De Piko (Tjokorda Gde Dharma Putra Sukawati) has become a BAWA ambassador and, because of his enduring love for dogs and particularly the very special Bali Dog, will be seen out and about with BAWA teams as they perform their daily work. His favourite quote is from Mark Twain: “If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you.

This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.” Cok De studied in Australia, where he did not adopt a dog because he wouldn’t have been able to leave it behind when he returned to Bali. That’s the sort of thinking casual pet owners the world over should get their heads around.

Ubud’s traditional royalty remains very influential in the local community and is extremely well connected where it matters.

On Jan. 3, BAWA hosted the third of its series of events at Kuta Beachwalk, themed around its Adopt-Learn-Chat with a Vet program. That came along with really good music that ran late into the evening; a selection of beautiful puppies; ready-to-chat veterinarians; and some lovely art from Urban Sketchers. The event was sponsored by Beachwalk, Legian Beach Hotel, and others including Scooby-Doo, the dog food-delivery people.

BAWA’s Christmas card was interesting, by the way. You might say it was highly traditional. There was snow everywhere. This did not bring to mind Snowing in Bali, Kathryn Bonella’s book about the drug scene. Instead, it reminded us that snow looks great on Christmas cards and is murder anywhere else. We did wonder what the lovely Bali dogs and the little monkey on the BAWA card were thinking.

Please, Do Amuse Jade Richardson, the peripatetic scribbler, recommenced her writers’ workshops in Ubud this month. This is good to see. Her approach to the written word is unique and she has a mind that is fun to engage. It’s no surprise that in Bali, where Ozymandias still lives in self-nominated splendour and where so many have built glittering local reputations upon the geographically distant rubble of pasts imperfect, she’s not on everyone’s mostfavoured list.

Her mission with The Write Path is to get intending authors of books, biographies, short stories, poetry and those with ideas for articles or scripts fictional or factual, to take that first bold step and release their inner muse. Richardson, who is not one with whom to trifle, says that her process with writers “releases a genie from the bottle – meaning that I can assist those who have the call to write to discover a genius for storytelling that they never knew they had.” She started her workshops in Bali and they’ve since been to Ecuador, the Galapagos and Thailand and online. It’s good to see her home again. It’s worth looking at www.heartbookwriting.com too.

Play-tonic Plato always gets a good rap at The Cage. He’s well up Hector’s Top Ten Thinkers list. So it’s a bit sad, as he is so anciently a posthumous source, that his engaging aphorisms, real or otherwise, get co-opted by the ignorant for all sorts of nefarious purposes. A case in point: On Dec. 28 there was an event at Dragonfly Village in Denpasar billed as Sensual/ Sexual PlayDay – Conscious pleasure with consent, organized by someone called Matthias Schwenteck. This gentleman purloined for his own purposes the Platonic observation (one of the many Plato didn’t actually utter) that “You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation”.

The event seemed more suited to Ubud, where lots of people like to spend their time examining their navels while harbouring the intent to get a close-up glimpse someone else’s. Perhaps the fixation with things better organized privately, or which are undertaken singularly in darkened rooms with the doors locked, really is spreading beyond the confines of Loopville.

Alpha Mail An item a fortnight ago noted that the new British envoy to Indonesia, Moazzam Malik, was still ambassador-designate

because he had not yet presented his letters of credence to President Joko Widodo. Well, he hadn’t engaged in this ancient formality when we sent the previous diary in by its deadline. He did shortly thereafter, it seems, though this was not without a little last-minute hitch. He tweeted on Dec. 18, the big day: “Almost forgot my letter from the Queen – had to run back to get it.”

Banzai!

We had a pleasant drive (we jest) one Saturday evening recently when the Distaff decided she’d like sukiyaki for dinner and suggested we journey to Seminyak to enjoy the table-top cooking at Kaizan. We hadn’t been there for a while, so a plausible excuse to avoid the trip did not spring to mind. But Kaizan wasn’t there – perhaps the extortionate rents now demanded in the area had driven it away – so we dined instead at another favourite nearby, Kuni’s, on seaweed salad, Gyu asupara maki, Gohan, Sukiyaki Nabe, and a delightful green tea mousse. This was accompanied in order by “one large Bintang two glass”, some rather pleasant sake and a nice plum wine.

C/E/G-24 Dec. 14

The Distaff has a thing for Japan. This dates from many years ago. And for sukiyaki, ditto, though it is more a home-cooking dish than a fine-dining experience. Her view on sukiyaki, as on many things, is “Doko ga warui no desuka?” It’s a colloquial Japanese transliteration of an interrogative “What’s wrong with that?” And we agree. The drive from Ungasan was another matter. Large numbers of idiots were dangerously riding their motorbikes and the drivers of all the tourist buses were clearly on speed. Half the street lights were out on the by-pass. There were Hindu ceremonies everywhere that required fierce-looking village guards armed with Star Wars-style magic wands to stop the traffic so that scattered little groups of celebrants could wander at will across the thoroughfare.

The airport traffic circle was mayhem as a result. Northbound traffic had formed eight (we counted) “lanes” to force a way into the circus. The Distaff closed her eyes and thought of sukiyaki while her driver, whom we know as Perpendicular Pronoun, edged and all but nudged his way through. It helps, we think, to have been a lemming in a former life.

He’s Cooking Vyt Karazija, the inveterate blogger, was thinking virtually out loud on Facebook on Boxing Day evening as to whether he should go out to eat or stay home and cook. Neither prospect amused him. We (and others) tendered advice. Ours was simple and direct: “Easy. Starve.” In the end he decided to cook and explained why: “The prospect was get dressed, release security cobras, then quickly lock up premises, don wet weather gear, get bike outside, lock gates, ride to restaurant while trying not to skid, fall off, get hit by some moron, park bike somewhere where it won’t fall over/get stolen/get flattened by some blind idiot with a Hummer, order food, get accosted by friendly drunk, argue about the ++ charges on the bill and then do everything in reverse just to get home.

“Then having to round up the security cobras and put them back in their boxes and pacify them because I forgot to pick up their mice for dinner.

“Or alternatively, cook dinner and eat it.”

It’s a piece of cake, really.

A chance remark the other day, offered by an acquaintance who may have been concerned that some might have missed the module on delicious irony when they were majoring in epithet, prompts us to say that we know the iconic Bali dance that tourists have been going ga-ga about since it was invented in the antiquity of the 1930s is called Kecak.

Readers may have noticed a reference or two to Kecap dances in the diary in recent times. It is often called Kecap by tourists and in many less than scholarly references on that global kindergarten primer, the world-wide web. Kecap is sauce. Though it must not be confused with ketchup, which is to piquant what semolina is to Bubur Injin.

Obituaries 2014 A Review of Some who Departed in 2014 As we do most years, Bali Advertiser features some of those whom we lost in 2014, who may have figured in our lives or stirred our interest in one way or another. As we move closer to the second decade of the new millennium we note the giant figures, good and bad, who so dominated our lives in the 20th century have now passed into history and that the people we now remember are for the most part writers, actors, sportsmen and celebs and perhaps we should give thanks for that.

authors, Marquéz won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982.

He pursued an active career in journalism and is best known for his novels One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967), The Autumn of the Patriarch (1975) and Love in the Time of Cholera (1985) in a genre created by him and known as ”magical realism ”. Salman Rushdie said of him, “he was the greatest of us all”.

Sir John Arthur “Jack” Brabham: Australian racing driver, b. 1926, d. May 1 (88). Formula One champion in 1959, 1960, and 1966 Jack Brabham was a founder of the Brabham racing team and built the racing car named after him. He was the only man in the history of motor car racing to have won the Formula 1 World Championship in a car he both built and raced. Born outside Sydney, Brabham grew up with cars and served in RAAF in WW2 as a mechanic. During his post-war racing career he became known as “Black Jack” as much for his ruthless race tactics as his dark hair and stubble. In 1955 he moved to England working successfully with the Cooper team and winning the Formula 1 World Champion in 1959 and 1960. In 1966 he became World Champion for the third time driving his own car for the Brabham Team.

Ariel “Arik” Sharon: Israeli politician and general, b.1928 d.

5 May (88). Fought in all Israel’s wars since 1948, mostly with distinction, and who served as Israel’s 11th Prime Minister 2001-06. Born on an agricultural kibbutz in British Mandated Palestine, Sharon’s family name was Scheinerman, originally from Brest-Litovsk in Russia. Sharon was considered the greatest field commander in Israel’s history, and one of the country’s greatest military strategists. His reputation was marred by the massacre of Palestinian refugees following the invasion of Lebanon in 1982. Entering politics in 1973 he gravitated to the right joining the Likud Party as Defense Secretary in 1977. Becoming Prime Minister in 2001 he recognized the need for a political settlement with the PLO, set up his own party and unilaterally abandoned the occupation of Gaza.

Joop Ave: Indonesian diplomat, politician and bureaucrat, b.

1934, d. Feb 5 (79). Born in Yogyakarta to Dutch ancestors he was brought up by his mother in Los Angeles. He was noted and advanced by Pres. Sukarno and active for 20 years in the field of protocol before becoming became Director General of Tourism (1982-93) before being appointed Minister for Tourism & Mining 1993-98. A large and colourful figure, popular at home and overseas in the international travel industry he spoke English, French and German fluently.

Hobart “Hobie” Alter: American surf and sailing entrepreneur b. 1933, d. March 29 (80). Growing up in the Laguna area of California, son of a second-generation orange grower, Alter’s ambition was to make his fortune wearing cut offs and sandals while never having to venture East of the Pacific Highway. He revolutionised surfing introducing the first light-weight surfboards in the 1950s, replacing the heavy wooden Hawaiian type of the day. His other claim to fame was the introduction in the 1970s of the Hobie 33 a low-cost lightweight catamaran, which did more than anything else to democratise sailing and bring it within the reach of millions.

Peter Matthiessen: American novelist, naturalist, environmental activist and CIA agent; b. 1927, d. April 5 (87).

Matthiessen was co-founder with George Plimpton of the literary magazine “The Paris Review” (1953), which he later admitted he used as cover for his work with the CIA. Educated at Yale and the Sorbonne, he became friends with writers, William Styron, James Baldwin and Irwin Shaw. In 1973 Matthiessen joined an expedition to the Himalayas, which became the basis for his award-winning and most well-read book, The Snow Leopard (1978), informing his subsequent work to protect the environment and devotion to Zen Buddhism.

Gabriel Garcia “Gabo” Marquéz: Colombian novelist, shortstory writer, screenwriter and journalist; b. 1927, d. April 17, (86). Known affectionately as Gabo throughout Latin America and considered one of the 20th century’s most significant

Robin Williams: American actor and comedian, b.1951, d. of suicide Aug 11 (63). Born in California Williams attended the Juilliard School NY along with friends Christopher Reeves and William Hurt. His big break came as Mork in TV series Mork & Mindy (1978–82). Williams went on to establish a career in feature film acting, where he was known for his improvisational skills. His movie breakthrough came in 1987 with his role as manic radio shock jock Adrian Cronauer in “Good Morning, Vietnam!” for which he was nominated for an Oscar. Williams played the role without script, improvising most of his lines and giving impressions of Walter Cronkite, Gomer Pyle, Elvis Presley and Richard Nixon. Other notable movies included Dead Poets Society (1989), The Fisher King (1991) and Good Will Hunting (1997).

B.K.S. Iyengar: Indian yoga master, b. 1918, d. August 20 (96). Born in Karnataka B.K. Iyengar founded a style of yoga known at his ashram in Pune in 1937. He is considered one of the foremost teachers and writers on yoga and credited with popularizing yoga. Among others he taught Krishnamurti and violinist Yehudi Menuhin. It was Yehudi Menuhin, who in 1952 brought him and his teaching to the West. Among his other international devotees were the novelist Aldous Huxley, actress Annette Bening and designer Donna Karan Benjamin “Ben” Bradlee: American journalist and editor, b.1921, d. Oct 21 (93). As executive editor of The Washington Post from 1968 to 1991 Bradlee became a national figure during the presidency of Richard Nixon, when he challenged the federal government over the right to publish the Pentagon Papers and oversaw the publication of Bob Woodward’s and Carl Bernstein’s stories documenting the Watergate scandal.

He studied at Harvard and the Sorbonne and saw action serving with the US navy in the Pacific War. He became a close friend of J.F. Kennedy and joined the Washington Post in the early 1950s becoming Executive Editor in 1967, following a stint with Newsweek, both owned by his friend and boss, Katherine Graham.

Gough Whitlam: 21st Prime Minister of Australia (1972-75), b.1916, d. Oct 21, (98). Leader of the Labor Party from 196777, Whitlam led his party to power for the first time in 23 years in 1972. He went on to win the 1974 election before controversially dismissed by the Governor-General of Australia, Sir John Kerr, in the constitutional crisis of 1975.

Another large and charismatic man, Whitlam stood six foot four (1.94m), he remains the post-war giant of Australian politics having changed Australia. In short order he opposed the war in Vietnam, ended conscription, recognized China, abolished knighthoods, enacted women’s rights, recognized Aboriginal land rights, promoted free education, banned sport visits from apartheid South Africa, while reforming pensions and healthcare.

Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart, 18th Duchess of Alba: Grandee of Spain b.1926, d. Nov 20 (88). Born María del Rosario Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart y de Silva was head of the House of Alba and held the title in her own right while holding over 40 other hereditary titles. She was, according to Guinness World Records, the most titled aristocrat in the world.

Descened from King James II of England she is the senior direct descendant by primogeniture through his illegitimate son James, 1st Duke of Berwick, and his mistress Arabella Churchill, ancestor to both Winston Churchill and Princess Diana, and as such enjoys a better claim to the throne of England than does Queen Elizabeth II. Married three times

and widowed twice, a handsome woman when young, the Duchess is now disfigured through unwise cosmetic surgery.

However her engaging eccentricity, charitable works, horsemanship, zest for life, young husbands and flamenco dancing have made her a much-loved figure in Spain with friends in high and low degree the world over.

Joe Cocker: raspy-voiced British blues shouter and balladeer, b. 1944, d. Dec 22 of cancer (70), best known for his frenzied and altogether splendid gospel-tinged cover of the Beatles’ “With a Little Help From My Friends”, taking the UK by storm in 1968 and becoming a memorable star turn at Woodstock in 1969, with his frantic air-guitar and invisible piano stage playing.

New Year Gardening

by The Garden Doctor

“To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves” - Gandhi The New Year is the perfect time to develop new plans, make changes or look for ways to improve your garden. January is one of the most optimistic times of the year. If you don’t consider yourself a gardener, then become one. You don’t even have to have yard to start a garden. You can begin with something as simple as a pot plant on the windowsill, growing some basil or parsley. All you need is a container and some soil. You may be surprised to ¿nd out how much can be grown in windowsill pots -Àowers, succulents and herbs. Gardening is also a calming activity that has been shown to improve conditions such as dementia and stress. Gardening will help you stay ¿t and active, and is easy to do because it is fun.

To increase your success rate keep your new year gardening resolutions simple and speci¿c, rather than general statements such as ‘I vow to never neglect my garden again’. By making resolutions that are easily attainable you will achieve more in the garden - success breeds success! If you have plans for a full garden make over then make sure to write down your plans, sketch a design and plan a budget, it won’t take long and it will make things much easier in the long run. Gardening can help you achieve some of the other resolutions that are often at the top of such lists at this time of year, such as slowing down, stressing less, exercising, eating healthier foods, and losing weight.

Here are some changes you could consider that will help improve your garden, help the environment, and give you a healthier home all at the same time.

Go Organic Instead of using chemical fertiliser opt for environmentally friendly options such as home-made compost or seaweed fertiliser. The ¿rst step to having a healthy garden is by building a healthy soil. Seaweed fertiliser can be made by collecting seaweed washed up on the beach and soaking it in a bucket of water with a lid for a few weeks. By composting your garden and kitchen waste you will be helping your garden and keeping your rubbish bin empty, saving this from going to land¿ll. Don’t use poison (weed killer) in the garden this year. If you have weeds growing in cracks on pathways or edges of pavement, spray them with vinegar or pour boiling water from the kettle on them. If you have sporadic weeds growing in your garden beds pull them out by hand. Ideally your garden should not get to the point that it necessitates the use of weed killer, but if your garden has become overrun by weeds simply bury them under cardboard, thick newspaper or large plastic sheets. After a few weeks remove the covering and the weeds should all be dead and easily pulled up. Remember that all chemicals used in the garden, whether fertiliser, fungicide, or herbicide become part of the environment eventually ¿nding their way into groundwater, streams, rivers and oceans, affecting our drinking water and food resources such as ¿sh.

late afternoon/ evening when evaporation rates are at their lowest. Watering at midday is the most inef¿cient practice.

Conserve water by grouping plants with similar moisture needs together. Mulch your garden to increase water conservation. Organic mulch is a layer spread over the topsoil which could consist of dried leaves, bark, compost or any other organic material. Mulch will help the soil retain water by reducing moisture loss from evaporation much like a lid on a pot stops it from boiling dry immediately. Mulching is like having a lid on the soil that retains the moisture and restricts the ability of weeds to germinate at the same time. It will give you healthier plants and you will be saving water/ spending less time watering, less time weeding, and as the mulch breaks down it will also serve as a slow release organic fertiliser. If you are really motivated to conserve water you could consider installing a rainwater tank. Rainwater is much better for your garden than well or mains water. Perhaps the simplest water saving tip is to keep an eye on the weather, if there is rain in the forecast for the coming days then hold off on watering if you can, and let nature do all the work!

C/Ho/G-1 Oct. 14

Grow your own Nothing tastes better than home grown food and the health bene¿ts (vitamins, minerals) of freshly picked vegetables and fruits far exceeds that of store bought produce.

Growing your own food gives you complete control over the production process allowing you chemical free produce. Involve your children in the edible garden, it will be a valuable education experience and they are more likely to eat vegetables that they have grown. Home grown produce is always an excellent gift, friends and neighbours will always appreciate when you give them some home grown fruit, herbs or vegetables.

Organic methods for gardening are not just about avoiding chemicals they are also concerned with working smarter in the garden, not necessarily harder. You can reduce those weeds from popping up in the garden by mulching well and the mulch has the added bene¿t of retaining moisture in the soil. You will spend less time weeding and watering and have more time relax and enjoy your surrounds. Organic doesn’t have to imply harder work, just smarter work! Another tip, instead of watering everything by hand, set up drip lines and soaker hoses that save money and time and deliver water directly to the roots, reducing water loss through evaporation and reducing the incidence of fungus in plants susceptible to overhead watering.

C/Ho/G-17 Sept. 14

Whatever you decide to grow in your garden don’t be too concerned if you don’t achieve horticultural perfection, just make a promise to yourself to have fun. Even if you only remember this one resolution, you’ll be off to the right start.

Best of luck in the garden this year!

Swimming pool always green?

Call the experts, CV Tropical Pool and Spa 289104, 287673 or email: trevor@dps.centrin.net.id.

“Foetida Adulteri” It all started a long, long time ago with those Roman chappies.

When they were out conquering they’d have to go on long marches and, after a decade or so on the road, they’d get a bit smelly around the nether regions.

To get a bit of ventilation going they started wearing short little leather skirts which the legions found somewhat fetching and added a bit of titillation to their humdrum conquering lives.

But still they stank.

Then one day in 67 AD Fredricus Maximus was talking to his mate Cornelius Minimus.

“Cor blimey” he said “my men pong worse than a skunk’s scrotum.”

“Oh we don’t have that problem anymore” said Corney.

“How come?”

“We dip ‘em.”

“Dip ‘em?”

“Yea we take em to Bath and throw ‘em in” “Bath?”

“Yea, it’s a small village. There’s sort of a big pool of hot water that comes out of the ground, we throw ‘em in the pool and half an hour later we pull ‘em out clean, don’t smell for a week.

Throw some chillies and garlic in and even the ticks and lice fall off.

And so it was that the Romans learned about Bathing (- visiting Bath). Time passed and they became rather fastidious about cleanliness - some would say obsessive, they were so enthusiastic they even invented acqueducts and plumbing.

They started building their roads dead straight so they could get to their next place of washing as quickly as possible.

Whenever they were in the area of Bath they would throw off their miniskirts in gay abandon and go for a dip. For decency they invented a small garment with a string up the back that hid their naughty bits at the front, they called it a dipthong.

Back in those days Britain was inhabited by a load of scruffy dirty beggars and the local population weren’t interested in all this cleanliness stuff. Apart, that is, from the Welsh hill farmers who weren’t bothered about the women and kids but they did like their sheep clean and, taking a leaf out of the Roman’s in Bath, invented the sheep dip.

Up in the far North Hadrian, sitting in his villa was having a hard time. He just couldn’t stand the smell and built a wall to keep the really odorous ones out but that only got rid of the visiting Picts and Scots.

The locals were the worst, they didn’t even wear clothes they just rubbed themselves with dead cabbages which made them a bright blue colour. They’d leave dirty great footmarks on the mozaic tiles and blue handmarks on the nice white walls. Ever tried to get woad stains out of a nice white shirt? - you never gave the ironing to an ancient Brit.

Eventually the stench overcame them and the Romans left.

A couple of thousand years passed, population density increased and the stink got even worse. The French tackled the problem in their own way hiding the stink by dowsing each other with nice smelly water they found in Cologne - it didn’t work.

For Queen Victoria, shocked when Albert came home one night smelling like a pig that had eaten a strong Vindaloo and a plateful of dahl, enough was enough. “We are not amused” she famously said and came up with a cunning plan. She ordered the construction of large water containers she named public baths and insisted that the whole population had, for their own safety, to learn to swim. And so it was that the people of Britain, known for their hysterical aversion to soap and water were fooled into taking a regular weekly dipping in chlorinated water. Hysteria was replaced by diptheria.

The Swimming bath was born and the rest is mystery.

Alright so the kids are starting to stink a bit and you’ve decided you want a swimming bath. Well the first thing you need to know is that, for real estate purposes, we don’t call them swimming baths anymore we call them swimming pools.

There are several different types of swimming pool.

1. Reinforced concrete pools Probably the most common type of swimming pools (all commercial and public swimming pools are of this type) have walls and bottom of reinforced concrete sometimes painted but usually tiled on the inside. They come in an endless range of shapes, sizes and depths. Concrete pool are usually sunk into the ground known as inground pools although the versatility of reinforced concrete is such that they can be built into upper floors of hotels or even cantilevered off the side of hillsides. Cost can be expensive in more developed countries but, due to low labour costs, are quite reasonable in Indonesia.

Correct design and construction is very important with concrete pools.

Advantages Very flexible in terms of shape, size and depth.

Very long life expectancy Low cost in underdeveloped countries where labour is not expensive

Disadvantages MUST be properly designed and constructed to avoid cracking and leaks.

Must be strong enough to withstand ground movements.

Expensive in developed countries where labour is expensive.

Often a major construction project which may take time to complete.

2. Inground Membrane pools These consist of a hole in the ground which is lined with a waterproof membrane. The hole may be reinforced with concrete walls and bottom or if the ground is very stable (such as clay) may be left as bare earth. The membrane may be polymer or bituminous material and has welded joints.

Bituminous material is generally easier to weld and repair than polymers.

From as low as Rp 500.000 per month we will maintain your pool.

It may seem obvious that using plastic membranes provides a quick easy way of making a pool and certainly fishponds are often made by digging a hole and lining it with a sheet of black plastic. Making something larger is far more of a challenge requiring joining of plastic sheets or sealing pipes into the plastic. Hydrostatic (water) pressure must also be balanced on both sides of the membrane.

If You Have a Problem with.....

It also has to be remembered that sharp objects (such as rocks) can easily puncture membranes.

Advantages May be low cost depending on the local price and availability of the membrane material.

Fairly quick to construct.

Flexibility means they are not damaged by ground movements.

Disadvantages Thin membranes can be easily damaged.

Technically difficult, the membrane must be a very good fit in the hole, joints in the membrane must not leak and pipe penetrations through the membrane are difficult to seal.

3. Above ground pools Available in Australia and America but not generally available in Indonesia above ground pools consist of a lightweight aluminium or steel wall placed on a flat surface (such as a lawn) with a Polymer liner. Due to common laws of physics they are usually circular in shape (although you can get oval or rectangular models) and come in sizes up to 1.4 metres deep and 10 metres in diameter. They come in kit form, are low cost but have a short life expectancy. Very small versions are available suitable for paddling pools for small children.

Advantages Low cost.

Quick to Install.

Make your villa stand out with decorative lamps

Disadvantages Low life expectancy.

Liner can be easily damaged.

Not exactly enhancing to the landscaping.

Depth limitations.

4. Fibreglass pools Fibreglass pools have a factory made complete fibreglass liner which is delivered from the factory and then lifted into a prepared hole in the ground. These pools are generally only available in developed countries where there is a large enough market to support a factory operation to make them. They are limited in size according to the size that can be transported by truck.

Advantages Quick and easy to install.

Lower cost than concrete pools.

Reasonable life expectancy.

Smooth inner finish makes them safer than concrete pools.

Disadvantages Have a tendency to pop out of the ground if left empty when water gets underneath them.

Size is limited to what you can get onto the back of a truck.

Need a crane to lift them into place.

Need truck and crane access to the site.

Need to be correctly installed to make sure the fibreglass is properly supported from underneath.

Of these alternatives inground concrete pools are by far the most commonly used for commercial or public areas throughout the world. They are also the most popular for private use in Indonesia and other countries where labour costs are low.

Next issue we might take a closer look at design considerations and perhaps a pattern or two for those that might wish to make their own cheeky little two tone dipthong.

By The Coach

This Sporting Life EVENTS IN 2015 With the new year upon us ,it is time to have a look at what is in store sports wise for 2015, so This Sporting Life takes a look at the events coming up.

In January, traditionally quiet due to the rainy season limiting the outdoor events, so we have the Bali Indoor Cricket League played in a futsal stadium now in its second season,with increased teams and a women’s competition (for more information email wayansam@gmail.com), in February will see Bali International School’s 7th edition of Invitational School Basketball tournament for high schools in Bali and nearby. March sees the Bali Beach games at Sanur, with Beach Soccer, Beach Cricket, Beach Rugby and Bali’s Toughest on March 15. (more info www.balibeachgames. com).

After the Nyepi break, things start to hot up over the Easter weekend with the Bali International Cricket Sixes in the bukit, and the Ultimate Frisbee Nusantara Cup, now in its 16th year. (see www.ultimateindonesia.com). May brings more cricket with the Bali International Twenty20 on in Sanur in the third week of May. Finally with June and the dry season, the sports season really kicks off with the Bali Geckos AFL 9 Masters, an event which has grown into becoming Asia’s leading AFL masters tournament on June 5-6, (www.baligeckos.com). The very next weekend see the return of the Bali Triathlon, which was not held in 2014. The Bali Triathlon now in its 8th edition (see www.balitriathlon.com). The Bali Marathon is scheduled to return to its traditional dates in June, in this non-election year but no date confirmed as we went to press.Endurance races continue in July with the 6th Bali Ocean Swim, a 10km swim in front of Kuta Beach (see www.balioceanswim.com).

HOTAIR Bali kitesurf competition celebrates its 10 year on July 24-26 at Sanur. It is a busy weekend with the 3rd Bali ParaGames and the inaugural Bali4’s, international wheelchair rugby tournament on 22-26 July.

August is quiet again, and picks up in September with the Yak Tennis tournament at Canggu Club, and the Bali International Stickfighting Challenge in Karangasem (see www.balistickfighting.com) on September 24-27. October 4-5 sees the AFL Bali 9’s followed by the 21st edition of the Bali 10’s rugby union tournaments, one of the biggest and oldest non government sports events in Bali on October 10-11 (for more information contact balirugbyclub@gmail. com). The Komune in Keramas will host the Komune Bali Pro surf comp between Oct 7-11, it is good to see a high level surf event return to a break that has seen world championship competitions in the past. Last weekend in October has traditionally been the Bali Flames Invitational Netball in Paradise international tournament which saw 16 teams in 2014, and hopefully same or more in 2015 (for more information www.facebook.com/baliflamesnetball).

Which brings us back to the next rainy season, and the tapering off of the Bali sports season. This is what we can look forward to in 2015. It should be noted that during the year there will a number of regular local surf events, cricket league, school sports, equestrian, sailing and more exciting events are still to be confirmed, and you can rest assured as soon as This Sporting Life has confirmation, we will inform our readers, all these events once again confirming the popularity of Bali as a sports destination.

Ubud Area How has your songwriting artistically evolved?

I’m really excited at the moment because my music is evolving with my own spiritual growth and merging paths.

I’ve always known I was a healer and had been practising with various mediums but it hadn’t really spilled over into my music as much as I wanted it to. Many of my fans shared their stories of how my music had affected them spiritually but I wanted to approach it more consciously. My next album which I’m recording in Bali next year will ¿nally combine my passion for healing and music. Researching the wavelengths or vibrations of emotions and thoughts affecting the being and the body and matching those frequencies to sound, the idea is to improve people’s emotional tone, disperse mental mass and bring about healing. Obviously still with my signature style!

Alphamama Brings Her Artistry To Ubud

by Renee Melchert Thorpe The 2014 Ubud Writers and Readers Festival had a special theme of Saraswati: Wisdom and Knowledge. In reverence to the goddess of Arts and Literature, the Festival featured extra artists in visual and musical endeavors. Arguably the most creative band to come together for the time-honored closing party was a conglomeration of percussionists, vocalists and assorted instrumentalists like Ben Walsh (blazing riffs on drums built from junk that very day), and the incomparable vocalist Toni Childs. Australian renaissance woman (whose father is from Manado, Sulawesi) Alphamama was also jamming onstage, playing keyboards and singing her original music while the crowd swayed in appreciation.

We caught up with Alphamama while she was on tour in Africa in November.

Tell me about what you’re doing in South Africa.

South Africa is the last stop on a global art tour before going home to Sydney. No gigs here just visiting family on my mother’s side and adventuring! We are planning to come back next year for performances and community work. By the time this comes out I’ll be back in Sydney again.

What was your training like? You’re a great keyboard player - were you taking lessons as a child?

My dad put me in piano lessons as a kid because he wanted me to play at his church. I was a very bad student but after he gave up on paying for lessons of course I suddenly began wanting to play and so used my ears to learn songs on the radio. I played and sang in my dad’s Indonesian church for years and that was great training for me. Not so much the technical aspect but more for the leaderships skills, understanding ambience and dynamics and also improvisation.

How did you ¿nd out about the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival?

The UWRF’s International Program Director Summa actually invited me last year but at that time I had a tour with Jessica Mauboy that clashed and so unfortunately I couldn’t make it. This year I was in New York when Summa emailed me and asked me if I’d like to perform. I was super excited about it because I know what a fantastic festival it is and also I love coming back to Indonesia.

How would you describe your compositions? Would you say your work reaches into many genres, or are you pushing the boundaries of aspeci¿c area of music?

I guess the genre of my last album could be classi¿ed as urban but that’s pretty broad. I don’t really focus so much on musical genres because I love all kinds of music and I always want to be free to create without limits. Instead I focus more on a particular communication I want to get across like a story I’m telling or how I want to make people feel or what emotion in expressing. I guess if I had to describe my music I would say it has elements of soul, hip hop, African/ Caribbean grooves, funk and R&B, but my live performances have a distinct jazz approach because I never perform a song the same way. Improvisation is a huge part of my show.

Reading the audience and interacting with the musicians.

That’s my favourite part.

What you say about vibrations and emotions sounds very much like Scientology research.

I have studied Scientology tech. I’m a huge fan of L. Ron Hubbard’s work and have firsthand experience of the transformation that it brings about. I strive to observe truth in the world and I learn from many, many sources.

Are you a multidisciplined artist? I get the feeling you have a lot of talent for visual arts.

I love art in all its forms! For me it’s the highest level of communication and it penetrates solid matter. I love fashion and visual art. I’ve written poetry, drawn and painted since I was really small, and then I got into sculpture for a while until I decided to focus on music. Fashion is a huge part of my artistic expression also and I do styling, hair and makeup, art direction and photography. I’m looking forward to producing a range using my own textiles that I’m currently designing with my partner, Bravo Child.

Any interesting collaborations in your career?

Working with Ngaiire is always pretty special and there’s a certain vocal chemistry we have with another beautiful Australian artist and good friend, Billie McCarthy. The three of us sang together for a while and it’s lovely to have Ngaiire’s voice on my album. I’ve worked with Kween G on a few tracks in the past and love her a lot! She’s a phenomenal woman and artist! I’m de¿nitely keen to work with some Indonesian artists more. Recently I wrote with KunoKini, Flim and Matajiwa so we’ll see where those tracks end up.

What was it like to be up on that ARMA stage at the UWRF closing party, once everyone joined in together for a ¿nal jam?

Man, that was such a buzz!! Jamming with Ben and Tama Waipara and then Toni came out of nowhere! She’s an absolute hero for me musically and spiritually! It was amazing to connect with her and everyone else on that stage!

It was so special for me also because musically it had Australian traditional and contemporary elements (digeridoo, vocals and drums) together with Indonesian traditional and contemporary elements (kendang, bass and keys). I was in sonic bliss! I think the audience felt that energy exchange and really added to the magic.

C/U/G-12 Nov. 14

Anything else you would like to let our readers know?

As an artist of Indonesian heritage who grew up in the west, I’m very grateful for having such a rich cultural upbringing and inÀuence. I think it’s time that Indonesians, the expat community and the global community started looking at Indonesia’s vast wealth and resources. There are some absolute geniuses creating valuable products and art but they aren’t getting the support they need. While corporations are raping the natural resources of the Earth, eventually it’s all going to run out but creativity will never run out, so I believe it’s important to invest ¿nancially in art and culture as a resource. I also believe that the expatriate community has a responsibility to integrate into the Indonesian community and build a future together. I plan to come back next year in April for performances, workshops and charity work. I would love to link up with anyone who can contribute to this in some way.

UBUD NEWS MAGIC SHOTS Gifted Polish photographer Jan Tyniec has blessed Bali with an exhibition this month, his ¿rst actual exhibition in Indonesia, though he spent two years as artist-inresidence at Purnati Centre for the Arts.

Over the past 12 years, the Ubud ex-pat has captured his “Balinese journey in four portfolios: rice ¿elds, offerings, lotus and portraits. The Ganesha Gallery exhibition at the Four Seasons Resort in Jimbaran shows the artist’s favourites from each portfolio. The exhibition is open till January 15; don’t miss it.

SUNDAY BLANCO BBQ With an excellent, award-winning chef in place and creating delicious new menus at its Rondji Restaurant, it’s all happening at Blanco Museum in Campuhan. Sunday brunch and barbeque every Sunday, and a Sunday market and live music event once a month (normally the ¿rst Sunday of the month, but the second Sunday this month.

Ubud is the perfect place for a Sunday brunch or barbeque – and even at this time of year, you can still be pretty optimistic of a sunny (or at least dry) midday meal. rondjirestaurantubud.com, 0361 975502.

PYRAMIDS OF CHI Ubud is sometimes referred to as the “spiritual epicentre of Asia” – which sounds a little “ego”-centric to me, given the many other ancient holy places throughout this region.

However, it’s true that one of the joys of an increasingly tourist-focused Bali is that we still are surrounded by many sacred temples and beautiful palaces, and the natural energy of all Bali’s rivers, lakes and sacred mountains.

Now, just ¿ve minutes north of central Ubud in the town of Bentuyung, a pyramid project is underway, with plans for completion in early 2015. The founders, Peter and Lyn McIntosh, are passionate about providing a place that can bring together the healing energies of the ancient instruments of many different cultures – from the Aboriginal didgeridoo to Tibetan singing bowls.

Spiritual tourism is a much smarter proposition than the massive resort projects and crazy nightlife ventures in southern Bali, and seems much more in-tune (oops, a pun) with the beliefs of our Hindu hosts. And I’m impressed too with this project’s sensitivity to the quiet roads of the surrounding villages. No speci¿cs yet, but their website refers to “small shuttles” that will bring visitors to and from the Pyramids of Chi. For more info, phone 0821 4500 7959/ www.pyramidsofchi. com.

WAAH ADUH! That’s an exclamation of dismay. An error on my part has led to hundreds of readers being deprived of excellent Indonesian vegetarian food for more than 4 weeks, and for that I am very, very sorry. The correct number for Pisang Manis, the fabulous little catering company that creates magical little burst in your mouth Àavours of Bali is 0821-1201 5356. Next time you have a special occasion, book them to cater!

APPLE GENIUS? Having travelled to Denpasar to one of the big computer stores to sort out her “I’m going to turn myself off and there’s nothing you can do about it” temperamental old-ish iphone, a friend eventually found the best solution-maker here in Ubud.

The Denpasar mob temporarily ¿xed the problem, but when it happened again a week later, she thought to consult the Apple retailer at the eastern end of Jl Raya Ubud, near to the Arjuna statue. The staff there directed her to a tiny little shop just round the corner in Jl Raya Andong.

Turn south at Arjuna; just a few doors on the left you’ll see the Apple logo. The technician got her iphone working immediately, but said it would happen again if the phone didn’t have a software upgrade so he hooked her into his

KEBUN’S WINESDAYS What did the grape say when the elephant at Bali’s Elephant Park stepped on it? Nothing. It just let out a little wine. It’s sometimes hard to ¿nd wine – affordable, drinkable wine - in Bali, but Kebun’s Wednesday discounts on all imported wines, makes things a bit more manageable.

Perfect really. Kebun’s southern Mediterranean-inspired food menu is yet another success for BaliSpirit group’s head chef, Pak Made Adi, and every artisan dish on his tapas, lunch and evening menus tastes even better with a matching glass of delicious wine.

DEFINING IRONY? On December 30, an Aussie friend took a trip from Ubud to the immigration office in Denpasar, because 2014 changes to immigration processes meant that a legal onemonth extension to the visa-on-arrival now required her ¿ngerprints and an of¿cial government photograph.

As with any other country, Indonesia is entitled to impose (and change) whatever regulations it chooses, for immigration or any other aspect of its governance. However, it does seem a bit ironic that the Indonesian government has now decided to remove the requirement for visas for tourists visiting this country. Starting this month. So if he arrived next week, my Aussie friend wouldn’t even need a visa.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid!

By Vaughan Hatch

Change, change, change! Indonesia Moving Forward not Backwards As we move into 2015 under a more progressive, socialist government, there is much hope for positive change that will be better for those who never benefitted before from previous governments: the majority of Indonesia’s population.

So far, we have seen a number of positive changes: plans put into place for an archipelago-wide shipping network to link Indonesia’s thousands of islands in such a way that prices of commodities are less disparate than they are at present; the implementation of a free healthcare system and welfare card for Indonesia’s poor that actually work; and the elimination of stating one’s ‘religion’ on identity cards.

In the pipeline is implementation of a 6-day week for government employees, to encourage actual ‘working’ the new president says. My sister-in-law who works in local government says that she regularly has to put in overtime, even on weekends, and that her department have just undergone an overhaul in accordance with ISO. Government offices are also now no longer allowed to hold meetings at hotels – something that will save many millions of rupiah in government budgets, allowing for more effective allocation of funds.

The next big one to be tackled is education. For any expat parent out there who have their children at local state or private schools will know that there are still huge issues with this one. There was a momentary backwards step around two years ago when radical religious factions in the government pushed for English to be taken off the national curriculum. Children are still ‘dictated to’ rather than being encouraged to think and join in on the conversation. Desks face front and are separated from child to child; students are not encouraged to work in groups. Text books are full of errors and are outdated. Children are still taught about creationism in place of scientific fact. School playgrounds are dangerous and often littered with rubbish. Canteens sell unhealthy food and drink. And yet, most parents still have to pay for their child’s education. At the end of 2014, I attended my son’s end-of-term parent-teacher meeting. If this was anything to go by, we still have a long journey ahead of us. More next issue.

The Frugal Balinist * Absolute

lowest limit of exercise: Time constraints shouldn’t keep anyone from working out. A Dec14 New York Times article recommends that just a regular one-minute burst of high-intensity interval exercise embedded within a 10-minute workout can improve ¿tness, blood pressure and blood-sugar control. This minimum but healthy regimen is perfect for busy, sedentary, overweight people, the equivalent of pedaling as hard as you can on a stationary bike for 10 minutes interspersed with three 20-second “all-out” intervals followed each time by 2 minutes of slow, easy pedaling for a grand total of 10 minutes of total exercise time, with one minute of that being the intense interval training. A minimum of 3 of these 10-minute sessions is required per week for a total of 30 minutes per week. The one-minute bursts don’t necessarily have to be cycling. Sprinting up stairs or even running very hard in place is just as good. Tip: It’s important to warm up for 2 minutes and cool down for 3 minutes.

*Simplify searches for cheap Àights: Best free mobile apps to book Àights with ease: Skyscanner’s interface is so-well designed that you constantly know what you’re doing and where you are in the app. Kayak’s convenient straightforward app has an option to search for Àights with 1-2 days on either side of your target date. Orbitz’s popular app has many more twirling clock icons loading vital information than its competitors. Triplit, acting as a trip database, logs an entire itinerary in a single, easy-to-use interface, including Àights, hotel reservations, addresses, maps and events you’re planning to attend. A similar data base app is TripCase that has a great feature indicating the weather conditions for your approaching trip. Two tips: To save money on airfare, shop online only from 8 p.m. Monday evenings to around 8 p.m.

Thursday evenings; best time of all is around 3 p.m. on Tuesdays. Also Àight prices can change in an instant, so it’s wise comparing the Àight data shows on an app with what the cost actually is on the airline’s own website to guarantee that you’re getting the best deal.

*Bring back or request from your home country: Put “good quality” in front of each of the following items: Tampax; children’s books; the Sunday edition of the New York Times; durable safe toys; sunglasses; extra sharp cheese; Parmesan; chocolate; specialty teas; maple syrup; reasonably priced red wine; one bottle cooking sherry/cognac; cotton underwear; earplugs; towels; Teva water shoes; hiking shoes; Lugol’s Solution (iodine); Lodoral (iodine), Tums, Diamtomaceous Earth (Àea control); newer prescription medications; Afrin nasal spray; deep-woods insect repellent with 95% DEET; stainless steel/non-toxic cookware; Epsom salts; shampoos and conditioners; perfume; probiotics and supplements like Vitamins B, C and E; any kind of aspirin PM (note the PM part); concentrated colloidal silver; homeopathic meds; anti-itch gel; oregano oil; portable DVD player; GoPro camera; waterproof camera; noisecancelling headset; sugar free toothpaste; Branston mixed pickles; Vegemite and Marmite (considered gels-don’t put in carry-on!). Note: In the USA, shop at Costco, which has the best deals.

*Netiquette: Be thoughtful and save costs, time and irritation for your recipient who is drowning in junk and other unnecessary digital communication. It’s understandable not

using time-consuming voice mail, but when emailing there’s no need to write “Hello,” “Hi,” “Dear” or sign off with “Sincerely;” nor do you need to acknowledge receiving an email. Only older people appreciate a thank-you message; most others don’t want replies clogging up their inboxes. Use www. getsidekick.com to track when your email has been opened.

It’s rude to send people copies of emails if they don’t really need to know. Recipients of carbon copies don’t need to respond. Avoid typing in all caps in emails. Text messaging or communicating through Twitter, in which you don’t need to greet or declare who you are, are less formal, more ef¿cient and faster than emailing. It’s not polite to ask a recipient for information – a store’s hours, weather conditions, the events and schedule of a festival, directions to a restaurant, a business phone number, where to ¿nd a newspaper article, etc. - that wastes their time and that you can easily ¿nd yourself on the Internet. The sender of such irksome questions is already using the tool that has the answer to what they want to know, so just send them the link lmgtfy.com (“Let Me Google That For You”). In other words, look it up yourself.

*Minitips:

Vegetarians beware: many non-fat and low-fat yogurts contain gelatin made from animal tendons, ligaments and bones. In rural Java 3 km west of Bali master carpenters cost Rp75,000 per day, master stonemasons Rp65,000 per day and complete vegetarian meals (vegies, tahu, tempe, beans, etc.) wrapped in leaves cost only Rp1000. Use a tinted primer if you’re painting with dark colours. Always travel in the off-season when the prices for airfares, hotels, restaurants and car rentals are substantially lower than traveling during peak time; leaving for Java one week before the start of Idul Fitri can makes a huge difference in price and availability of transport. Hubud of Ubud host around 30 free events per month for members, from professional talks to peer-to-peer knowledge exchanges to networking and social gatherings.

Occupational fraud schemes are most commonly committed by the accounting department or upper management; executive frauds being particularly costly. Siasia hemat tapi hutang tumbuh is the Indonesian equivalent for “penny wise, pound-foolish.” A quick way to google a map is just add the word map to the end of your query, like Gilimanuk map. The biggest energy drain using air conditioners are leaky ducts.

It’s not wise to look after peoples’ pets long term; they’ll eventually dump them on you and you’ll feel guilty if you give them away. Don’t wash or dry a small number of items as they don’t get as clean as they would in a full load; also a dryer’s moisture sensors may not work. Tip for women: men who initially pay for everything may be less generous than they appear. Because of the cancer causing toxins are released, never drink from an Aqua bottle that has been exposed too long to sunlight. If you’re diagnosed with a serious medical condition, always get a 2nd and 3rd professional opinion. You’ll spend less on food if you shop with a list. When buying something, think about whether you’ll still have it in 4 years.

The British Medical Journal estimates that smoking one cigarette takes 11 minutes off the life of an average person.

Money is the most egalitarian force in society, conferring power on whoever holds it.

*When should old medicines be thrown away? Drug expiration dates are 1-5 years, so to be safe once a drug is a year or so past its expiration date, it needs to go. Except for tetracycline and other antibiotics, which can become toxic and cause kidney problems after their expiration date, expired drugs don’t cause harm, but they de¿nitely become less potent over time. The ¿rst step is to check the dates on all bottles and containers in your medicine cabinet and around your house at least once every six months. Throw away meds if you can’t read the label or dosage or if meds have a strange

colour, exude a weird odour or if the contents have separated.

If you dispose of old drugs yourself, don’t Àush them down the toilet or sink drain, as the chemicals will ¿nd their way into waterways and the environment. To properly dispose of outof-date drugs, mix the pills, tablets, liquids and capsules with cat litter, sawdust or coffee grounds, then put the mixture in a sealed plastic bag or wrap with newspaper and toss in the trash. Note: Some meds become ineffective before their expiration date if not stored properly in a dry place with the caps always tightly closed. Aspirin, for example, loses its effectiveness when the pills come into contact with water, so don’t store aspirin in the steamy bathroom.

* Neglected vegetable: Don’t judge a vegetable by its humble origins growing wild in swamps.

The tropical kangkung, a VERY simple and affordable plant to grow in moist soil, requires very little care and is rich in iron and other minerals.

Grown commercially, the rumours about the vegetable being grown under unclean conditions are untrue. Called ‘Water Spinach” or “Chinese Spinach,’ it’s an important staple in many Asian cultures, especially for the poor. Two kinds: semi-aquatic kangkung air, scienti¿c name Ipomoea aquatica) and ‘Land Kangkung’ (kangkung darat or Ipomoea Reptans). The latter Àourishes naturally in Bali, its tender stem shoots and leaves used in a simple stir-fry, a delicious soup, eaten raw in salads or as a green vegetable supplement for almost any meal. Just go out in your garden and pick it fresh before each meal. You can begin harvesting it within two months from when the seeds are planted. It can be harvested continually through the wet and dry seasons, but grows better in the rainy season. If given enough water, kangkung can be easily grown in containers placed in a bright sunny location. The plant readily roots from cuttings, so give cuttings or seeds away to those who are interested in planting the vegetable in their garden. Sold in Bali for Rp2000 per bunch (ikat kangkung); in Java, Rp500 per bunch. Note: kangkung and sawi (spinach mustard) will keep in the refrigerator, but bayam (another spinach variety; amaranth) will not.

*Health warning! It’s de¿nitely not safe to eat dog meat served as soup or saté with rice in Warung RWs (pronounced ‘airway’). Other names for these dog meat stalls are rintek wuuk, rica-rica warung, guk-guk and “B1.” Consuming dog meat is usually associated with the Minahasa, a Christian group of northern Sulawesi, and Bataks of northern Sumatra, who consider dog meat to be a festive dish reserved for weddings and Christmas. Hidden RW stalls, which cater to homesick immigrants of these ethnic groups, can be found in the back lanes of Denpasar where the Àesh is discreetly served to these homesick ethnic migrants. There are 50 or so of these types of specialized eateries dotted around Bali. If dog meat is available, they hang out a “Buka” sign; if not, they hang a “Tutup” sign. Warung RW are technically illegal but still operate with impunity. Two reasons why these warung should be banned. Firstly, much of the dog meat sold comes from poisoned dogs. Even if the stomach and intestines are removed immediately after death, there will still be some poison in the meat, which can be very dangerous to your health. Secondly, the dog is a companion and guard animal, not a food animal. Many of the dogs killed are stolen or poisoned family pets, which causes the families great sadness.

Sometimes the dogs are beaten to death in a horrible manner before they are eaten.

FACE POWDER Face powder is the make-up artist’s best friend, as it can make your skin look really wonderful and is very versatile in its uses.

It gives the skin a glow as well as makes it smooth. It has a lasting effort in comparison to foundations and moisturizers. It can be used as a ¿nishing layer in makeup application, or it can be applied directly on bare skin without the accompanying foundation layers.

You need two types of powder, a loose form at home, and a powder compact for your handbag. Whether you choose loose or pressed really depends on your skin type and the look that you desire. If you are a natural girl who likes a gentle ¿nish, consider loose powder. If you are more active and sporty, the matte look of pressed powder may be ideal for you.

1. Loose Powder: This gives the best and longest-lasting ¿nish and is the choice of professional make-up artists and models. Powder particles are ¿ner and tend to set makeup better than pressed powder. The best way to apply loose powder is to dust it lightly on to your skin using a large, soft powder brush. Then lightly brush over your face again to dust off the excess. This powder looks natural on the skin, and is good for home application. Many women like using loose powder because it gives the skin a Àawless effect.

2. Pressed Powder: Pressed powder comes in cake form, providing better and longer-lasting coverage. Compacts containing pressed powder are ideal for carrying in your make-up bag as they are very quick to use and lightweight. Most come with their own application sponges, but you will ¿nd you get a better result if you apply them with a brush.

Look for brushes with retraceable heads to carry in your make-up bag.

If you do use the sponge, use a light touch and wash it regularly, or you will transfer the oils in your skin on to the powder and get a build-up.

Pressed powder is ideal for those who are always busy and don’t have much time to groom themselves. Unlike most loose powders, pressed powder is extremely portable and gives the skin a matte ¿nish. It also usually contains a mirror inside of its compact, which is ideal for those with stubborn marks that need touch ups often throughout the day.

3. Powder Shade: Don’t make the mistake of thinking that one shade of powder suits all. Instead, choose one that closely matches your skin-tone for a natural effect. Do this by dusting a little on your jawline, in the same way as you would with foundation. Take time to experiment so you choose the shade that best suits your colouring. Careful application of the right powder as the ¿nal ¿nishing and ¿xing touch should give your skin a soft, glowing and natural feel.

4. Translucent Powder: Translucent powder is unpigmented, sheer powder used mainly to control oily zones. Translucent powder can be pressed or loose.

5. Tinted Powder: Tinted powder is pigmented and is usually worn without foundation. Tinted powder can be pressed or loose powder.

Some face powders will change color after application. If possible, experiment with different shades to ¿nd the right shade. Many makeup professionals recommend using a combination of loose and pressed powder for a more Àawless look. The ingredients in face powders vary depending on the desired effect on the skin. Here are the most common ingredients used in formulating pressed and loose face powders : Talc, Mica, Magnesium stearate, Kaolin, Calcium carbonate, Inorganic and organic pigments, Perfumes.

There are different reasons for including face powders in one’s makeup routine. The type and brand of powder will depend on the desired cosmetic effect. Some face powders are formulated to address different conditions.

1. Shine control. Typically, loose and pressed powder is used to achieve a matte or velvet-like ¿nish, minimizing shine and oiliness in the process. Loose powder is recommended for better shine control because the ¿ne texture is more oil and moisture absorbent.

2. UV light protection. The presence of zinc oxide or titanium dioxide will provide some UV protection.

3. Improve skin tone. The right shade of face powder can brighten the skin or produce a freshly tanned effect.

4. Cover up imperfections. Pressed powder provides better coverage for skin blemishes and imperfections as this type of powder clings to the skin and applications last longer.

5. Improve skin condition. Most face powders are enriched with nutrients, emollients, peptides, and antioxidants that rejuvenate the skin.

When choosing face powder, consider the natural and obvious skin complexion as well as the undertones. Undertones can be pink, yellow, and red. Pick a face powder that matches the skin complexion closely, but pay attention to distinctive undertones.

All face powders, including those labeled as translucent, will have some color to them.

Although there are numerous face powder on the market that promise to give you smooth and Àawless face, they can be expensive and some ingredients even do not suitable for your skin. Luckily, your skin can become smooth and clear with the help of some readily available natural ingredients.Here are some home remedies to get smooth skin.

1. Water One of the most important things you can do for smooth and glowing skin is drink plenty of water. Water helps the body Àush out toxins and waste. Avoid sugary drinks, alcohol and carbonated drinks. Also try to eat fruits and vegetables that are high in water content. Washing your face at least twice a day with water will also help improve your skin’s health and appearance.

2. Lemon Juice Lemon juice can be used to cleanse your skin, lighten spots and scars, as well as soften and smooth it. Lemon is a great natural cleanser for people who have oily skin. To lighten dark spots and acne marks, you can use freshly squeezed lemon juice and apply it to your entire face and neck. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then wash the area with lukewarm water. For soft, smooth skin, mix lemon juice and egg whites and heat the mixture on low Àame for a few seconds. Allow it to cool and then apply it to your face. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then rinse with warm water.

3. Tomatoes Fresh tomato is an excellent natural skin toner, and tomato paste can help treat pimples. To make your skin soft and smooth, mash some fresh tomatoes in a blender or grinder. Apply the mashed tomato to your face. Leave it on for about ¿ve minutes and then wash it off with water. Daily use can help reduce the size of your pores and result in smoother, glowing skin. You can also use tomato paste to heal pimples. Apply it to the affected area and leave it on for an hour, then wash with water.

4. Papaya Papaya contains a natural enzyme known as papain that has antibacterial and wound-healing abilities. The enzyme also aids in removing dead, damaged skin. To use papaya as a skin toner, mash a few pieces of ripe papaya and apply it as a facial mask. Keep it on for about 15 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water. Regular application of papaya juice helps reduce freckles or brown spots due to sun exposure. For extra skin lightening effect, add a slice of lemon to the papaya juice.

5. Sugar Mix Sugar is said to work as an exfoliation for the skin and thus is great to cleanse your skin. Take equal quantities of white and brown sugar. Combine them and mix by adding water. Apply it on your face and gently rub for a minute or two and rinse off with lukewarm water. You can substitute water with honey for more effectiveness.

6. Potato Potato is a natural bleach and a great way to get rid of dark skin spots, tan, sun burn, scars, etc. You can either use potato juice or rub a piece of raw potato on your face. Whichever way you choose, you will surely be able to achieve fair and Àawless skin.

You should try this potato treatment everyday for desired results.

7. Banana Bananas are high sources of Vitamins A and E, which are said to be essential components for a healthy skin. These vitamins help to tone down redness of the skin. To make this face pack, you need one mashed banana, four teaspoons honey, half cup heavy cream, four teaspoons Àour and three teaspoons water.

Combine all the ingredients except water. Once they are mixed, add water and work it into a thick consistency. Apply it on your face and wash off after 10-15 minutes. While the banana will help to give a healthy glow to your face, the cream will make it soft and supple.

IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH

By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

FLIES! Most people have noticed the incredible onslaught of flies that we are suffering in Bali this year. Although many are outdoors, too many are making themselves at home in and around the house as well.

Flies enjoy the great indoors––it’s warm, there’s often food on offer and the weather isn’t bothersome! They fly in through open doors and windows that don’t have screens and seem to find it hard to fly back out again.

Their constant buzzing around is annoying, and even worse they are potentially unhygienic. They spread a myriad of diseases non-the-least of them typhoid fever which is very common here in Bali.

Here are some tried and true methods for getting rid of flies in the house.

Cleaning away fly attractants 1. Clean the kitchen thoroughly. Remove all sources of food or prevent access to food that has to be left out. Flies will hang around the kitchen if there is a food source, so put away or thoroughly cover cakes, cookies, cut fruit, any food no longer being immediately used to prepare dishes, etc.

• Wash dishes immediately after use.

• Scrape crumbs and leftovers into the bin or in-sink disposal after eating.

• Teach children to wash and clean up after using the kitchen for food preparation..

• Put rotting food outside or in a compost pile. The flies can lay eggs on rotten fruit.

2. Keep compost buckets covered. All scraps meant for adding to your compost heap or bin must be kept covered when in the kitchen. This is a main attractant of flies and can result in homegrown maggots if flies have access to it.

3. Keep pet food covered or remove uneaten pet food. Pet food will attract flies wherever the food is left out. Even dry food can attract desperate flies. Always keep pet food dishes clean; particles of food are enough to keep flies happy.

4. Keep all bins covered. Anything with stinky refuse in it is a siren call to flies. Shut the lid and if it’s stinky enough for you to smell it, dispose of the garbage outside immediately.

Clean all bins regularly.

Using pyrethrum spray Purchase a pyrethrum based spray (most knock-down sprays are based on pyrethrum). Follow the instructions and use exactly as recommended.

Bear in mind that even though it’s natural, pyrethrum is still a toxin. Use with care, and sparingly.

Using a fly swat or zapper Purchase a fly swat. Do what people have done for generations and swat the flies you come across. It takes a little practice but if you’re already into racket sports, that won’t take long. (And maybe it’s good practice for starting tennis or squash.)

Use a fly zapper. If you don’t mind something a bit more high tech and requiring battery changes, a fly zapper might be a good answer.

Using barriers to keep flies from coming inside Place mesh screens on your windows and doors if flies are a constant problem. Mesh screens will keep flies out more effectively than sprays, traps and the like.

Keep mesh screens in good condition. As soon as a hole appears, repair it. It doesn’t take long to work a small hole into a fly-sized hole that will be used once the flies discover it.

Use fly curtains. These are the colorful strips of plastic

often seen on take-out stores in areas where flies are rampant.

The natural stuff There are several things that can be rubbed around entrance areas that will help to deter flies. These methods need frequent reapplication, and you should always spot test an inconspicuous area first to ensure that the surface won’t be ruined by whatever you’re applying. Also consider that this barrier should be applied in conjunction with some of the other remedies outlined in this article.

• Tip drops of lavender oil onto a cleaning cloth. Rub this around the windows and doorways where flies seem to be entering through.

• Rub onion juice on entry doors. This is an oldfashioned deterrent idea. It might be a lot of effort to get the juice though––you’ll need to process the onions, pour off the juice, look out for the tears and then paint it on the doorway!

Keep plants that flies dislike at the entrance doors. Some herbs and plants repel flies just by the mere fact of growing near a door. Mint is one such plant––place it in large pots next to the front and back doors to act as a possible deterrent. It’s not guaranteed but it can serve as at least one way to shoo those flies outside.

If there are flies in the kitchen, crushed mint placed on your kitchen bench may help to deter them from sitting around the food preparation areas, while growing basil can also deter them from the kitchen.

A few drops of eucalyptus oil in a boil can help to deter flies from staying indoors.

Cloves can be tied inside a small piece of muslin and hung over a warm lampshade. The mild odor released will deter flies––they can’t stand clove aroma.

Make a vinegar fly trap.

• Fill a clean jar to halfway with apple cider vinegar.

• Punch some holes in the lid. The holes need to be large enough for the flies to enter the jar.

• Screw the lid to the jar.

• Place where the flies are hanging about.

• Wait for the flies to crawl in. They’re not bright enough to work out how to get back out and the vinegar will take care of them. Refresh regularly.

Sticky Fly Traps Sticky fly straws or fly-paper are readily available at most supermarkets or you can make your own.

Mix 1/4 cup golden syrup (or other sugary syrup like corn syrup or “gula sabu”) with 1/4 cup sugar. This stuff must be sweet to attract fly pests!

Cut out various strips of thin card or brown paper. You could use cereal box card––it’s an ideal weight. Punch holes in the top and thread string through and knot to form a loop to hang from.

Paint the sugary mixture on the strips of paper. Let dry.

Hang where flies are a problem. They’ll get stuck and you simply dispose of the strips when it is full.

Sugar Season. It’s Everywhere & it’s Addictive

It is also dangerous.

Recent studies show that sugar, much more than salt, contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease.

Unlike the weak, much debated arguments against, salt, sugar has very real, signi¿cant and immediate metabolic effects that are not good for you, de-sensitizing your insulin response being one of the most important, leading to diabetes, chronic inÀammation, and the depression of your immune system. Evidence too, that eating too much sugar leads to fatty liver disease, hypertension, obesity and kidney disease. We pretty much know this now but we can’t resist. And the reason for that is pretty simple. Sugar is addictive. By which I don’t mean addictive in the way that people talk about delicious foods. I mean it is addictive, literally, and in the same way as drugs.

The food industry knows this and is doing everything it can to keep us hooked.

Until a few hundred years ago, concentrated sugars were essentially absent from the human diet, except perhaps, the fortuitous ¿nd of small quantities of wild honey. Sugar was a rare source of energy in the environment, and strong cravings for it actually bene¿ted human survival. Sugar cravings would have prompted searches for sweet foods, the kind that help us layer on fat and store energy for times of scarcity.

Today added sugar is everywhere, used in approximately 75 percent of packaged foods purchased in the United States. The average American consumes anywhere from a quarter to a half pound of sugar a day. If you consider that the added sugar in a single can of soda might be more than most people would have consumed in an entire year a couple of hundred years ago, you are beginning to get the sense of how dramatically our environment has changed. The sweet craving that once offered a survival advantage now works against us.

While natural sugar sources in whole fruits and vegetables are generally not very concentrated because the sweetness is buffered by water, ¿ber and other constituents, modern industrial sugar sources are unnaturally potent and quickly provide a huge sugar hit. Natural whole foods like beets and corn are stripped of their water, ¿ber, vitamins, minerals and all other bene¿cial components to produce puri¿ed sweetness. All that’s left are pure, white, sugary crystals or an incredibly sweet sticky syrup. The comparison to drugs is clearly not misplaced here. Similar re¿nement processes transform other plants like poppies and coca into heroin and cocaine. Re¿ned sugars also affect people’s bodies and brains.

And it can kill you.

Substance use disorders, de¿ned by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, exist when at least two to three symptoms from a list of 11 are present. In animal models, sugar produces at least three symptoms consistent with substance abuse and dependence: cravings, tolerance and withdrawal. Other druglike properties of sugar include (but are not limited to) cross-sensitization, cross-tolerance, cross-dependence, reward, opioid effects and other neurochemical changes in the brain. In animal studies, animals experience sugar like a drug and can become sugar-addicted. One study has even shown that if given the choice, rats will choose sugar over cocaine in lab settings because the reward is greater; the “high” more pleasurable.

In humans, the situation does not appear to be very different. Sugar stimulates brain pathways just as an opioid would, and sugar has been found to be habit-forming in people. Cravings induced by sugar are comparable to those induced by addictive drugs like cocaine and nicotine. And, although other food components may also be pleasurable,

sugar is uniquely addictive in the food world. For instance, functional MRI tests involving milkshakes demonstrate that it’s the sugar, not the fat, that people crave. Sugar is added to foods by an industry whose goal is to engineer products to be as irresistible and addictive as possible.

How can we kick the habit? One route is to make foods and drinks with added sugar more expensive, through higher taxes. Another would be to remove sugar-sweetened beverages from places like schools and hospitals or to regulate sugar-added products just as we do alcohol and tobacco, for instance, by putting restrictions on advertising and by slapping on warning labels. But as suggested in two recent academic papers, one on salt and sugar in the journal Open Heart and the other on sugar and calories in Public Health Nutrition, focusing narrowly on added sugar could have unintended consequences. It could prompt the food industry to inject something equally or more harmful into processed foods, as an alternative.

And, rather than have the sugar pushers scream blue murder about the ‘nanny state’ and continue corrupting our public and medical of¿cials, by far the best approach to sugar rehab is to promote the consumption of whole, natural foods. Substituting whole foods for sweet industrial concoctions may be a hard sell, but in the face of an industry that is exploiting our biological nature to keep us addicted, it may be the best solution for those who need that sugar ¿x.

Waging economic warfare individually and collectively against the corporatist criminal conspiracies that are the major food companies, the major pharmaceutical companies and the major banks is not the reaction of a crank, nor is it ineffective. It is a very sane and potentially effective reaction to organizations that see us as no more than sheep to be shorn and care not a jot that their businesses impoverish us and lead many of us to an early grave. If you think I overstate just check the record and conviction stats over the past decade. Ending, even controlling, a non-self serving sugar habit is actually a very powerful act.

C/He/G-11 June 14

Nor do you have to give up eating sweet food. Just do it in its natural form. Easiest way is eat or add real fruit. Keep added sugars to a minimum. Avoid white re¿ned sugar like the poison it is, addictive, without nutrient no nutrients and bad for you.

If not white sugar, what natural sweeteners are OK? Raw Honey: teems with anti-bacterial properties. Use organic raw honey. The regular heated and treated product sold at most shops has had so many of its health properties eliminated it’s just syrup.

Palm Sugar: the sap from the tree trunk of a sugar palm tree.

Coconut Sugar: the sap from the Àower of a coconut palm tree with a very low glycaemic index coming in a nectar form or dehydrated in the form of sugar granules.

Stevia: 300 times sweeter than sugar so replacing a teaspoon in your coffee you only need 3-4 drops. Stay away from white granulated commercial brands.

Rapadura sugar: is how cane sugar should be produced. It looks like dark brown sugar but is in¿nitely tastier and more nutritious with the molasses still intact. It’s usually dehydrated to form granules so you can spoon it but you can also buy it before it’s been granulated and this is known as panela or jaggery. You may ¿nd it in an Indian food store.

C/He/I-25 June 14

Other nutritious natural sweeteners worth mentioning are Xylitol, molasses, real maple syrup, yacon syrup, rice malt syrup and mesquite powder. Other healthy sweeteners include Xylitol, Maple Sugar and Molasses. Best of all, try to reduce the amount of any added sugar, not already contained naturally in your food. Very quickly you will discover what food tastes intrinsically good and what does not. And, like any recovering junkie, you will feel a whole lot better.

QUEEN OF BEAUTY From a modest background, Dr. Martha Tilaar has been helping women maintain their natural beauty since 1970 and has become a queen of beauty and a household name in Indonesia with millions of women using her skin care products and going to her spas throughout Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore. Many spas in Bali use her Biokos facial products as a standard.

She has created a unique holistic concept using centuries old eastern traditions. All Indonesian women have heard of Sari Ayu skin care and cosmetic products, which are found in supermarkets, many apoteks and now minimarts. A higher end product is Biokos, with a range of products for people aged 20 plus, 30 plus and 40 plus. Botu-like is used for mature skin. She now has a new product range called Derma Bright for mature skin in beautiful silver packaging. Biokos products are available in supermarkets, some apoteks, beauty suppliers and Eastern Garden Martha Tilaar Spa in Seminyak.

I had admired this woman for many years and was very pleased she agreed to meet me for an interview while visiting her Eastern Garden Spa in Bali. I found her to be warm, friendly, charming and highly intelligent. As we sat sipping chlorophyll water and nibbling on dried fruits and almonds she told me her story.

Local News Holidays Thrown into Chaos after AirAsia Cancels Bali Flights Holidaymakers have had travel plans thrown into disarray after budget airline AirAsia X cancelled direct flights from Melbourne to Bali with only days’ notice.

The Malaysian budget airline was forced to cancel the flights after it failed to gain approval for the new route, which was due to start on December 26, from Australian and Indonesian aviation authorities.

This is despite the airline advertising and taking bookings for the direct flight as recently as this month.

Passengers received text messages on Christmas Day notifying them that flights from Boxing Day onwards had been cancelled and they would instead be flown to Bali via Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on a later flight.

The new route stretches a six-hour journey out to 13 hours and some travelers will arrive a day later than expected, leaving pre-booked accommodation wasted and forcing some to miss family weddings.

The airline would not reveal how many passengers had been affected but Melbourne woman Oliva Canning, who was on the first diverted flight on Boxing Day, said that most passengers on the near-full plane had been originally booked on the direct flight.

Passengers do not yet know if return flights will go direct to Melbourne or via Kuala Lumpur.

Jetstar hopes to consolidate a pre-emptive strike against

An AirAsia X spokesman said the flights were diverted because of “an unforeseen delay in the approval process for necessary documentation.”

The spokesman said the airline was working with relevant authorities, including Indonesia’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation and Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority, to complete the required documents for the flights to go ahead.

“Indonesia AirAsia X will commence the direct return flight from Denpasar to Melbourne as scheduled as soon as this process has been completed,” he said.

The airline would not reveal how many passengers had been affected.

In November it emerged that in the first nine months of 2014, the Malaysian carrier had lost $96 million before tax in the Australian market.

The airline announced three weeks ago that it would discontinue direct flights between Adelaide and Kuala Lumpur. (December 27th 2014)

The low-cost Qantas offshoot announced yesterday it would launch a three-times weekly service as AirAsiaX announced firm orders for 55 Airbus A330 neos amid rumors about new services to Australia. Jetstar Australia and New Zealand chief executive David Hall said Jetstar was delighted to be the first airline to the fly the Bali route. The airline also announced it would fly Melbourne-Wellington routes four times a week from March 30 and reinstate Gold-Coast-Perth flights from March 29 after market conditions improved enough to support a six-times weekly overnight services.

Missing AirAsia Plane Likely at the Bottom of the Sea The AirAsia Indonesia plane which went missing en route to Singapore is likely at the bottom of the sea, Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency chief said on Monday (29/12), as reports surfaced that the pilot had requested to fly at a higher altitude because of bad weather but was turned down as there was another plane flying at that height.

“Based on the coordinates given to us and evaluation that the estimated crash position is in the sea, the hypothesis is the plane is at the bottom of the sea,” AFP quoted Bambang Soelistyo as saying at a press conference.

He said Indonesia did not have “the tools”, such as submersible vehicles, required to retrieve the plane from the seabed, but it is reaching out to other countries for help, according to AFP. “I have coordinated with our foreign minister so we will borrow from other countries which have offered. They are the UK, France and US,” he said.

Flight QZ8501 with 162 people on board went missing early Sunday morning over the Java Sea between the islands of Belitung and Borneo, a heavily travelled shipping channel with shallow waters, according to Indonesian authorities who are leading the search and locate operations. It was flying from Surabaya towards Singapore.

Before the plane lost contact with air traffic controllers, one of the pilots had asked to fly at a higher altitude because of bad weather.

The Transportation Ministry’s acting director-general for air transportation Djoko Murjatmodjo said on Sunday that the plane was initially flying at 32,000 feet.

But the pilot contacted air traffic control in Jakarta at 6.12 am local time, requesting to fly at a higher altitude of 38,000 feet and to deviate to the left side of its route - route M635 - in an effort to avoid clouds.

The air traffic tower lost contact with the plane shortly after that.

The plane had 155 passengers and seven crew-members.

There were 155 Indonesians, one Singaporean, one Malaysian, one French, one British and three South Koreans.

The multi-nation search and locate operation resumed on Monday at 6am (7am Singapore time).

Australia on Monday joined the Indonesia-led search. A Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) AP-3C Orion took off from the northern city of Darwin early Monday to join the operation, the Australian Defence Force said.

Along with an increase in the population and improved economic circumstances, Bali is struggling to cope with the growing amounts of waste. According to the latest data from Bali’s Department of Public Works (MPW), every day as much as 3,452 cubic meters of plastic waste is generated on the Island. The amount is equivalent to 1,150 garbage trucks filled, which if lined up would cover 4.6 kilometers. “The indicators are not good, all landfills are full and piles of plastic waste are accumulating everywhere.

Bali is headed towards a serious crisis if the garbage situation is not addressed,” said Eka an active campaigner on social media through Facebook page Central Bali Recycling. “If the government does not intervene in the matter of this waste from upstream to downstream, the trash will be a latent danger for environmental sustainability in Bali,” he said. Ni Made Armadi, Technical Section Head of the Waste Treatment Unit said that landfills were already overloaded. “We can no longer rely solely on government waste reduction.

Society needs to participate,” she said. Piles of garbage accumulating on the streets and beaches are a common sight, especially during the rainy season, but experts agree that the current provisions cannot cope with the massive volumes of trash that is generated throughout Bali.

Denpasar is currently the highest producer of waste, followed by Buleleng (North Bali) and Gianyar. (December 26th 2014)

The pair has apologized over the incident, saying they wanted to thank Wayan Mudipa for his “compassion”. “We would like to say that as a result of this matter we now consider ourselves friends and we would like to catch up next time we come to Bali,” he said. Mudipa, 35, told News Corp Australia he was working at the busy restaurant on Friday night, when he saw Scott, 32, urinate behind a temple near his eatery and younger brother Tim, 27, urinating inside a nearby shop owned by Mudipa, which is under renovation.

The Smallest Room

When I built my ¿rst house here in 2002 I had, of course, no experience and an architect was not in the budget. So yes, errors were made. For example, I never thought about how people would enter the house or where they would sit when they got there. There is still no proper front door. Visitors used to come in through the kitchen but passing the parrot, who is socially unreliable, became so hazardous that I eventually opened up the wall further down and out of harm’s way.

Rajasthani portrait, winsome farmyard paintings and prints and an old silk kimono. Glass shelves hold objets d’art and the toilet roll holder is a carved wooden lizard. It’s a pleasure to sit there, if I do say so myself.

According to Balinese cosmology, the bathroom is located in the southwest of the family compound, out there by itself.

Toilets within the family compound are a fairly new feature, provided with government funding over the past few decades.

The typical Balinese compound kamar kecil is very far from fancy. But for about 12% of Balinese, post-digestive functions still take place in the river or in the great outdoors.

In Karangasem regency, only 61% of people have access to toilets, the lowest number in Bali. Bangli follows with 76%.

And my decision about the colour of paint and tile in my bathroom would be beyond superÀuous for the 63 million Indonesians who have no bathroom at all.

Once inside, there is no living room. One guest ¿ts nicely sitting on the daybed with me along with the tea tray, but Open defecation is a polite term for using an irrigation canal, more company requires sitting river, field or the back of the around the dining table, which is my decision about the colour of compound instead of a toilet. cosy but unorthodox.

But to the Balinese our bathrooms are the strangest rooms in our homes, not CLTS works on a similar philosophy, just in placement but in the amount of thought and money focusing on changing behaviours to inspire the community we put into designing the kamar kecil (small room). They are to achieve open defecation-free (ODF) villages.

I seem to have digressed Granted we only spend a few minutes a day there, but at slightly from the subject of least they could be interesting minutes. bathroom décor. I guess the Why have a porcelain basin when it could be terracotta, glass, granite or petri¿ed wood? Why settle for a ho-hum tile or plastered wall instead of bamboo, stone or pressed glass?

In fact, why have any enclosure at all, when we can celebrate the lush tropical environment with open walls and roofs, allowing easy access to transient reptiles and burglars?

Some folk even have bathtubs, although I have never understood the charm of sitting in hot water in this climate.

I probably had more fun designing my bathroom than any other part of the house. It has lots of light and ventilation, the walls are pale pink, the towels dark rose and the countertop is rosy marble. Because I don’t have a living room as such, I’ve turned the bathroom into a small gallery. Since people are going to sit there thoughtfully, they might as well have nice things to look at.

One of the delights of living in Bali is the opportunity to build a house. This is beyond the wildest dreams of most of us and still would be for me if I hadn’t arrived before land prices spiraled skyward. Uncon¿ned by pesky building regulations we can (and do) climb right out of the box when designing unique abodes, with sometimes mixed results.

SOCIAL MEDIA BYTES BY : LIZ AFAIK

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

AL-ANON FAMILY & FRIENDS GROUPS Seminyak, The Ruko, Jl. Drupadi II #80: Wednesdays, 5:30pm - Fridays, 5:30pm Saturdays, 5:30pm Ubud mainroad, Casa Luna / downstairs mid level: Mondays, 7:45am - Wednesdays, 7:45am Fridays, 7:45am - Saturdays, 10:30am Space for this ad donated by Bali Advertiser C/NV/R-23 July 2014

When I heard about the recent missing Air Asia plane (#AirAsia8501), and wanted to find updates, I went immediately to my Twitter account. Using the hashtag #AirAsia8501 (hashtag is the search function that Twitter uses to designate a stream of posts on a certain topic), I was immediately able to see breaking news about the plane. When I checked the news channels that I usually refer to - BBC, CNN – I found that their most recent updates were often hours old.

Twitter posts, or tweets, are short and can be easily and quickly written and sent from mobile devices from anywhere. Due to the brief, fast nature of information being posted, read and shared on Twitter, this network is much more suited for covering breaking-news events.

While Facebook is a social network, and most people use it primarily to exchange personal news and events, Twitter is becoming a real-time news source and can be considered more of an information network.

A 2012 survey by Pew Research Center, called What Facebook and Twitter Mean for News reveals “Facebook news users get more news from friends and family and see it as news they might well have gotten someplace else if Facebook did not exist. For Twitter users, though, the news links come from a more even mix of family and friends and news organizations. Most of these users also feel that without Twitter, they would have missed this kind of news.”

According to blogger Adam Wexler, Twitter became the official breaking-news digital source five years ago “when US Airways Flight 1549 was forced to make an abrupt landing in the Hudson River, and the first news ‘reporting’ came from Jānis Krūms, a rescuer who took a picture of the passengers standing on the wings of the plane and shared on Twitter.”

Wexler says, “One of the best parts of Twitter as the 21st Century newspaper is your news sources can be a wide variety of sources. Whereas traditional newspapers have delivered the news in a second-hand context, Twitter allows you to learn the story from a first-person point of view.”

However, while searching for news about Air Asia 8501, I also have to sort through conspiracy theory posts about a Chinese blogger who supposedly predicted the crash, reports of smoke coming from Belitung Island, which lies on the flight route of the missing plane, general speculation and graveyard humor.

Simon Ricketts of the Guardian has noted that “Twitter does its best work in the first five minutes after a disaster, and its worst in the twelve hours after that” as conspiracy theorists, spammers and the misinformed contribute to the hashtag streams.

Barry Ritholtz, writing for The Washington Post, describes how he first heard about the Boston Marathon bombings on Twitter: “Three hours after the fastest runner of the Boston marathon crossed the finish line, my Twitter feed lit up. Someone in the office yelled, ‘Two explosions at the Boston marathon, may be terrorism.’ Within seconds, there were first-hand reports, photos, even video circulating on Twitter.” Ritholtz checked CNN, Reuters and Associated Press. He searched Google. No other news agencies were reporting on the bombing. Finally, after about 15 minutes, he saw coverage of the event on CNN’s cable channel. Twitter had captured exclusive news coverage of a major event in real-time, beating out all the traditional news sources.

Arab Spring uprisings, including the first reports of sexual assault of women involved in, or reporting on, the demonstrations; the death of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

Twitter is ideal for covering confusing events such as natural disasters or demonstrations, where there is often conflicting information and people involved or witnessing can immediately post personal experiences, images and news from the ground before journalists can reach the area.

According to a study by Informa UK, tweets (or Twitter posts) are increasingly used by journalists as quotes in newspaper reporting in Europe, and are considered newsworthy enough to “support or illustrate” a conventional news story.

Ritholtz says, “People who are active on Twitter can tell you what is going to be on the evening news before anyone else knows it. Twitter is faster than print media, more in depth than television, and compared to the traditional newswire, its real time reaction to events news and headlines.”

American Twitter news consumers are more educated than both the general population and Facebook news consumers, according to a report from the Pew Research Center.

While more Americans (30%) still get their news from Facebook, younger, more educated consumers, who mainly use mobile devices for access, are increasingly turning to Twitter as their primary news source. Almost half of Twitter news consumers are 18-29 years old, whereas only 34% of Facebook news consumers are in this age group. The implication is that younger people are increasingly turning to Twitter as their primary news source.

The Pew study cites 3 main themes that emerged in their research: 1) A core function of Twitter is to pass along bits of information as a story unfolds. Generally, about 40% of users pass information along in their feeds (re-tweet) without adding their own comments.

2) The conversations on Twitter about an event evolve over time, and can shift in terms of sentiment and topic.

For example, immediately after the Newtown school shootings in the US, tweets expressing sympathy for the victims made up almost a third of the total number of tweets. However, within days, the expressions of sympathy declined to only 12%, being replaced on Twitter by debate about the shooter and mental health issues.

3) Although the opinions expressed on Twitter can often match those of the general population, Twitter is not a reliable census of public opinion. After the Newtown shootings, 64% of the Twitter conversation supported stricter gun controls, while 21% opposed them.

However, a Pew survey found that 49% of the general population felt it was more important to control gun ownership and 42% more important to protect gun rights.

The Pew survey also states that while Facebook and Twitter are now “pathways to new … their role may not be as large as some have suggested. The population that uses these networks for news at all is still relatively small, especially the part that does so very often. Moreover, these social media news consumers have not given up other methods of getting news, such going directly to websites, using apps or through search. In other words, social media are additional paths to news, not replacements for more traditional ones.”

Twitter’s ability to cover major events in real-time, before any of the major news channels can act, is known as the “Twitter effect.”

There is a growing list of world events that were first covered on Twitter: the killing of Osama Bin Laden; the
