Designing Women of Bali – Part 3 Humanitarians & Hands-on Philanthropists

by Ines Wynn

There is a category of activists who concentrate exclusively on people rather than causes. In particular they focus on the plight of poor, handicapped, underprivileged, uneducated and marginalized people and broadcast their needs to the public at large. Obviously Bali counts numerous NGOs, projects and causes that zoom in on this segment of the population, providing much needed services, education and advocacy. Call them humanitarians, good Samaritans, do-gooders or philanthropists; their goal and mission in life is the same; they work diligently and tirelessly to ease the lot of the poor, the lame, the dispossessed, the marginals and those on the edges of society.

It is interesting to note that these humanitarians are readily found among the expats and the Balinese alike. Most of them work through an established organization like a NGO, a Yayasan, or a less formal group, though there are many others that work purely on a personal, altruistic level, sometimes sponsoring the education of poor children, sometimes donating money, goods or their volunteer time to a good cause. A lot of NGOs were started as a private initiative and grew thanks to unprecedented communal support. Some humanitarians are inextricably linked with the project they founded or espouse: Yayasan Senyum and Mary Northmore-Aziz, Bumi Sehat and Robin Lim, I’m an Angel and Asana Viebeke. There are many more. A lot of those projects are women or children-oriented, considered to be the most vulnerable elements in society.

Mary Northmore-Aziz, Yayasan Senyum - Expat women seem to have the edge when it comes to high pro¿le projects and this is mostly due to their tireless efforts at keeping the cause visible, their steadfast fund raising efforts, savvy marketing and networking skills. One success story is Yayasan Senyum-The Smile Foundation conceived and founded by Mary NorthmoreAziz. Mary is a well-known ¿gure in Bali who started The Smile Foundation in 2005, a charity designed to provide access to lowcost cleft palate and craniofacial surgery for underprivileged children. Yayasan Senyum has become a very visible and popular effort. To date the NGO has facilitated some 2000 operations, not only for children with cleft palates but also those who were born with facial deformities or acquired them as a result of disease or accidents. Mary is still very hands-on in the management and regular fund-raising efforts of the organization and is tireless in her promotion of it. She created a “Smile Shop” in Ubud where people can donate pre-loved items such as clothing, books and small house wares for resale by volunteers. The proceeds of the sales help support the ¿ne work of the Smile Foundation. You can also make monetary donations or volunteer your time. www. senyumbali.org.

Robin Lim, Bumi Sehat Another visible project is natural birthing center Bumi SehatHealthy Mother E a r t h Foundation which got a significant celebrity boost in 2011 when its founder Robin Lim was selected as CNN’s hero of the year. Robin’s project got started in 1995 when she wanted to do something about the high maternal mortality rate in Bali, especially among poor women. She started providing free health services to poor pregnant women in the Ubud area and in 2005 of¿cially registered the Yayasan Bumi Sehat. As a midwife, she knows that early monitoring, intervention, good hygiene, nutrition and education are very important to prevent problems and complications at later pregnancy stages. Robin is a staunch promoter of the natural birthing process and provides the ideal environment, free from stress and trauma, in a hygienic setting. The prenatal and birthing services are free to low-income women who might otherwise die in childbirth as a result of unsafe or no healthcare. Ibu Robin combines traditional healing arts and herbal therapies with modern Western medicine and in the process of saving many lives she tries to make a considerable dent in the of¿cial statistics of maternal mortality which ranked Indonesia as the highest among ASEAN countries. Besides birthing babies, Robin also has an active midwife training program and many more projects like elderly wellness and disaster relief programs. Check it all out on www.bumisehatfoundation.org.

Luh Putu Upadisari, Yayasan Rama Sesana - Balinese humanitarians step up to the bar as well. A well known advocate for women’s reproductive health is Dr. Luh Putu Upadisari, better known as Dr. Sari. In Bali, as it is the case in the rest of Indonesia, sexual and reproductive health is not a major priority project as far as the government is concerned. Few free or low-cost services

are available to women, especially since traditional social attitudes, unfair laws and gender stereotyping prove to be a barrier to open communication.

Since 1999 Dr. Sari has tried to remedy this situation by starting an outreach program for women from lower social and economic strata who work and shop in the traditional markets like Badung market in Denpasar, Intaran market in Sanur and other local markets in different areas of Bali. In 2004 she founded Yayasan Rama Sesana and set up free clinics that provide reproductive health education, family planning, prenatal care and medical testing like pap smears, HIV and STD testing and treatment. Dr. Sari works with a dedicated team and YRS is continually raising funds for its free medical services and depends on donations from the local community.

See Facebook and www.yrsbali.org.

Asana Viebeke, I’m an Angel (IAA) – This is an education-oriented project for children with high visibility thanks to the astute marketing and management of Asana Viebeke who has been successful in cornering much expat support through well attended charity events at posh sites such as KUDETA and Mozaic Beach Club. Asana works tirelessly to provide school supplies, toys and meals to needy children; she is also determined in her efforts to motivate young students to stay in school and get a much needed education to get on in life and escape the trap of poverty. The foundation also has a mobile health clinic and does many projects in related ¿elds, but the emphasis is on the needs of children. www.imanangel. org.

Natalia Perry, Safe Childhood Foundation - Some children are not only poor and destitute but abused, traf¿cked and kept in virtual slavery. Natalia is a British lady who is particularly concerned about the danger and damage, present and future that these kids endure, and she has established the Safe Childhood Foundation to provide an asylum for them. Her team goes out on the streets of Kuta and environs to ¿nd children who have been forced into begging, slave labor, or worse, prostitution. Since most of these children are orphans or have been abandoned, they try to take them away from the streets and provide a home and haven where they can be safe from the dangers of pimps and slave bosses. The foundation zeroes in on 3 main social evils and tries to mitigate as much as they can: child traf¿cking, child sexual exploitation in travel and tourism, and online child sexual abuse. Natalia says that every child has the right to a safe childhood and she works tirelessly to provide that reality to as many children as she can reach.www.safechildhood. org.

Sandra Elim, Seeds of Hope Children’s Home – When Sandra got married some 40 years ago, she wanted many children.

She now has 70 of them, from 2 to 21 years old.

Together with her husband Reverend Tommy Elim, she created Panti Asuhan Benih Harapan, aka Seeds of Hope Children’s Home, located in Dalung, northSandra Elim@Seeds of Hope west of Denpasar. 70- year Children’s Home old Sandra is a remarkable woman. Despite having suffered a stroke some years ago, she still runs the day to day affairs of the orphanage and cares for the children. The orphanage welcomes children of all backgrounds and religions. Not all of them are orphans; there are also abandoned children and children whose parents are too poor to

raise them. Seeds of Hope is a cheerful place with a warm and loving atmosphere. It is run like a large family clan, says Sandra, not like an institution. All the children attend school, except those that are too young. After school, he kids help with household chores but always have time to play. They play music, sing and dance, play football or baseball. Sandra and Tommy teach the children core values to make them independent, they emphasize the importance of education and encourage the children to take part in a variety of activities.

Sandra works tirelessly at being mother, nurse, caregiver and problem solver. The amazing thing is that she does this with a skeleton staff. The children help and somehow all the chores get done and it teaches them a sense of responsibility, a sense of pride and valuable life skills. The kids themselves exude friendliness and con¿dence. They are obviously well cared for and though the orphanage does not have a lot of funds, there is enough love and compassion to make up for the lack of many amenities.

The children like music, sports, arts and crafts and English lessons. They also love to have visitors and volunteers spend time with them, playing games, teaching English or some other new skills. Since the orphanage’s funds come for a great deal from donation by caring individuals, any monetary assistance or gifts of basic toiletries like shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc. is very much appreciated. For more information, visit www.seedsofhopechildrenshome.com E l i z a b e t h H e n z e l l , Vi l l a Kitty - Numerous NGOs and community projects in Bali b e n e f i t p o o r, underprivileged, d i s a b l e d , o r p h a n e d , abused, diseased and addicted Elizabeth Henzell@Kerin Burford children and adults. Other initiatives, such as BARC and BAWA have done tremendous work in making a dent in the miserable lives of abandoned and abused street dogs. One gorgeous lady realized that the street cats of Bali, who aren’t as visible as the dogs, needed just as much care. Therefore she established a haven for abandoned, sick, injured and abused cats and kittens and called it Villa Kitty. Located in Lodtunduh, just south of Ubud, it is now the happy home for some 150 cats and kittens and is presided over by Elizabeth Henzell and a staff of 4 veterinarians and 23 caregivers. The place is a sunny, clean and welcoming haven for throwaway kittens, abandoned mother cats and any other suffering felines. Healthy cats are housed in a ¿ve room adoption center, all out¿tted with daybed and chair with comfy pillows, sleeping baskets and hammocks, toys and play-things, scratch stuff, preening ledges and access to a garden where they can stretch their paws, scratch the dirt and sniff sundry plants.

There is a separate quarantine building for the newcomers and another building houses the hospital with a well-equipped operating room where the cats are sterilized and where many lives have been saved. Villa Kitty is now also an education centre teaching English and hands on classes with animal welfare based themes featuring cats and kittens to make it a really enjoyable way to learn. Villa Kitty has also established the Every Child Deserves a Kitten project. This idea came from the thought that children in orphanages don’t often have their own pets. One of the ¿rst recipients was SOS Children’s Village in Tabanan. There are now 14 fully vaccinated and sterilized cats living with the children who have taken to the project with a lot of love and enthusiasm.

Financing for Villa Kitty initially came from Elizabeth’s own funds and generous support from an Australian friend. As her kitty shelter grew, spontaneous donations and contributions from friends, family and people bringing in injured or abandoned cats made it possible to expand and continue her rescue work. Today, Villa Kitty is a registered Yayasan and donations are most welcome as the operating costs are understandably high. Villa Kitty welcomes visitors, volunteers and hosts regular children story telling events. Check out the website www.villakitty.com for details on how to adopt one of Villa Kitty’s feline denizens and let your heart be warmed by the many success stories posted on Facebook.

Delicious International Dishes (Indonesian Language Version available at www.baliadvertiser.biz) My sister sent me the recipe for these bars.

She raved about them, so of course, I had to try them too.

The recipe can be easily varied. Instead of all dates and raisins substitute part of these with other dried fruits such as prunes, apricots, figs, cranberries, mango or papaya. You want moist fruit, not the super dry kind. This makes so many bars that I store part of them in the freezer.

Chocolate Fruit and Nut Bars

2.5 cm. Line it with aluminum foil and butter or oil this well.

Into a bowl sift the flower, baking soda, cocoa and salt together. Set aside.

Into another bowl mix the eggs, vanilla, and sugar. Use a whisk rather than an electric mixer and just mix until the sugar is dissolved. Now add the flour mixture and mix until the dry ingredients are just mixed in.

Using a sturdy spoon, stir in the raisins, dates and or other dried fruit, the nuts and the chopped dark chocolate. It will be very stiff but stir until well mixed.

C/NS/U-23 July 14

Spread the dough into the prepared pan, carefully easing it into the corners until it’s evenly distributed. This will take some time and patience because the dough is very stiff.

Makes about 32 bars Ingredients: - butter or oil for greasing the baking sheet - 1 1/2 cup white flour, sifted (I like Kunci Biru) - 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda - 2 Tbl. unsweetened cocoa powder - 1/4 tsp. salt - 3 large eggs - 1 tsp. vanilla extract - 1 cup castor sugar or fine sugar - 1 cup raisins - 2 cups dates, cut in half (or substitute dried prunes, figs, apricots, mango or papaya) - 2 cups nuts - large pieces of walnuts, cashews, almonds or peanuts or do a mix of what you prefer - 8 oz. dark chocolate, coarsely chopped - you want chunks so don’t use chocolate chips Directions: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F with the rack in the middle of the oven.

Use a baking sheet with sides or a jelly roll pan 36 x 27 x

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Check that it’s browned and if not return to the oven another five minutes.

It’s important not to dry out the bars.

Put the baking sheet on a rack to cool. Place a cutting board or another baking sheet over the cooked dough and invert. Peel off the aluminum foil and re invert back into the original baking sheet.

You may find that when cutting into bars that the chocolate is too gooey. Put the baking sheet into the fridge or freezer for 10 - 20 minutes to harden the chocolate to make it easier for cutting.

Store in an airtight container or in the fridge, bringing to room temperature before eating.

Yum!!

All recipes are available on the Bali Advertiser website in both English and Indonesian versions. You can easily copy and paste and print. Paste as unformatted text.

How to Overcome Cash Shortages in Your Business Taking Care of Business So you ¿nd your business account running out of cash?

First, be kind to yourself - you are in an ocean of company that will help give you hope and laughter as you drown.

Let’s look at four possible causes of your angst, and what you can do about them.

1. Sales not covering overheads.

2. Working Capital control 3. Owner Draw 4. Theft 1. Sales Not Covering Overheads.

Five major reasons for this: • You don’t have enough customers. You may have just started out in business, and so you are still building your customer base. Or the number of customers you have is insuf¿cient for you to reach and surpass your break-even point.

What is your break-even point? It’s the amount of money where your gross pro¿t from your sales is the same as your overhead costs. So there are three areas where you can make improvements: sales, cost of sales, and overhead expenses.

• Get more customers. There are a million ways.

Promotion, advertising, special sales.

• Reduce your cost of sales. Direct cost components include materials, labor and energy for products, and commissions for services. Most companies can make major savings by e-engineering their product components so that they are simpler to produce or cheaper to buy, or don’t need such highly skilled labor.

• Reduce your overhead expenses. Staff are often your largest expense. Seek to improve the productivity of your staff by simplifying controls, standardizing your business rules, and measuring their outputs. Rent is often the second major expense, so how well can you work in a smaller, more distant place? Can you sublet part of it to offset your costs?

Consider utility alternatives to reduce electricity, gas, water and phone. Put in a policy of not printing stuff unless needed for compliance or a client - have the information available online instead. Lack of control over minor, of¿ce expenses can fritter away your hard won sales, just like it so easily happens with your own pocket money. Put in controls.

• You just lost a major customer. Sound advice I learned the hard way many years ago is not to let any one customer provide more than 20% of your sales. The logic of this is pretty simple when you consider the breakeven point.

• Your customer order isn’t big enough. How good are you and your at upselling or cross-selling your customers? Just asking a simple little question can add 1530% to your sales and available cash. MacDonalds did it and made millions upon millions by having their counter staff ask, “Do you want fries with that?” it works for service businesses as well as with products, particularly with a related item that adds value to the original purchase.

• Your costs are rising faster than your sales returns.

If you don’t keep tabs on your costs, then you are likely to be in for a big surprise. Make sure you have a system to measure your total costs, so you can keep track of your gross pro¿t.

• Your prices are too low. Especially in services, many people are afraid to ask a reasonable price for what they provide, and often succumb to customers demanding more for less or even nothing.

• Add 10% to your prices and ¿nd how virtually no body notices and few of those who do complain.

• If you are in a service business, change from quoting by the hour to quoting for the bene¿ts to be provided, which also gives you an opportunity to highlight the fee in context of the return on investment your client is going to enjoy. Look at how you can offer a guarantee for meeting the bene¿ts you are offering.

2. Working Capital Control Working Capital is the money you need to keep your business humming along. I t consists of four elements:

Bali Advertiser

06 August - 20 August, 2014

• Cash in the bank and Petty cash.

• Cash owed by customers. For the Bali cash econo my this is not a problem area for most businesses.

But you must keep control of any outstanding payments. Wherever possible get payment or a deposit in advance. Limit your terms to payment WITHIN 7 days, not 30 - and get in touch with them for payment just before the 7 days are up.

• Cash tied up in inventory that isn’t selling. Put it up for sale, or bundle it with other products to show a great deal.

• Cash you owe to your suppliers, that you pay too fast, before it is due.

3. Owner Draw It’s a great temptation to pull money out of the business when sales are booming. An account opened at your favorite restaurant or three, the kitchen re-modeled, a badly needed new wardrobe, that overseas trip you’ve earned after working so hard, a better quality of wine, more parties thrown for your lovely friends…

Then, before you’re aware of it, all your hard-earned reserves have dried up and it only takes one downturn and you are in deep trouble. I’ve seen people here take over a billion out of their business in dribs and drabs and then wonder why they have nothing to fund growth.

So, pay yourself a modest salary, and stick to it. If you have a heap of money over at the end of the year, and more than you need to fund next year’s growth, then pay yourself a bonus from what’s left.

4. Theft US statistics say one third of small business become bankrupt from theft and loss. The retail industry there loses an estimated $36 billion from theft and loss each year.

People can steal cash, product, needed supplies or your intellectual property - your ideas and processes. People include your customers, your staff, your competitors and you.

Theft can only be controlled; it can rarely be eliminated. So managing theft means that ¿rst you must make a risk assessment and determine your priorities.

Where are you most vulnerable? Are your computers wide open to theft of your intellectual property while you’re busy protecting a dress or a bracelet?

Do you count your cash daily and reconcile against sales dockets and then against inventory changes?

Do you keep an eye on of¿ce expenses?

Are all your staff on the payroll actually working for you? How well can you tell if they are working for you all day?

Are you losing money through sloppy control of working hours, holidays taken, sick leave used?

Let’s count the ways of theft in the food industry where you must have processes to protect you in your restaurant.

Cash - out of the register, deposits, receipt manipulation.

Food and product - raw foods, packaged and tinned foods, meals Customer information - credit card numbers , loyalty programs, customer list Products and supplies - kitchenware, restaurant supplies Intellectual property - recipes, business data, brand Waitstaff - providing unauthorized discounts or free food to friends, eating or taking food for themselves, voiding items or checks and pocketing the cash, failing to properly ring items, inÀating tips, credit card skimming.

Bar Staff - over-pouring drinks for bigger tips, ringing up with an open drawer, overcharging drinks.

Management - deposit theft, changing accounting records, adjusting sales receipts.

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

Recently there have been quite a few cases of severely injured expatriates that have found themselves hospitalized in Bali with massive medical and evacuation bills and no means to pay for them.

Most have been assisted by the amazing expatriate community that we have here on this Island. Huge amounts of money have been raised to ensure that these unfortunate people have received the very best of care and have usually been repatriated to their homelands. But when will it end? When will people start to turn their backs and say “enough”?

Surely it’s time that anyone living or visiting Bali should take responsibility for his or her own medical treatment and care.

Personally I think at least basic health cover should be mandatory for all non-Indonesians living or visiting Bali.

This would take the burden off the local medical services that are already stretched to care for it’s own people.

But it seems at least for the time being we need to be responsible for ourselves.

There are many and varied types of health cover policies available, from the basic to the very comprehensive; backpacker to executive. And yes I know it can be quite a hit in the hip pocket but ask yourself this question, if you are in a hospital bed, through no fault of your own (none of those people that ended up this way recently planned to be in this situation either), who do you expect to fit the bill?

Seriously, take a few moments right here and right now to jot down on a piece of paper all the people that you would like to have donate money to pay for your medical bills if you are in a situation that you cannot pay for them yourself? It’s a daunting thought isn’t it?

Here are some more things to consider: • Your consulate cannot assist you financially with medical or evacuation costs.

• Overseas government schemes such as Medicare, NHS, or Obama Care do not cover you in Bali.

• As a foreigner in Bali you will pay more for medical expenses. If you have a residents visa (KITAS) you might get a bit of a discount but you will still pay more than an Indonesian citizen. No amount of arguing will change this.

• If you want a “nice” facility, you will pay “nice” prices.

• If you are very wealthy and can afford to pay for your

own care without an insurance policy and would like to be medically evacuated off the Island it will take a lot longer to organize your assistance, as no one will move you until the required funds ($30,0000 commercial carrier up to $120,000 charter jet) are in the account of the medical assistance company.

(Imagine how long that can take over a 5-day public holiday).

• Even if you have health insurance it will not cover you if you do silly things like ride a motorbike when you are drunk, have no license, or do not wear a helmet.

Ok so your policy is going to be expensive especially if you are in your senior years or you have a large family to cover, and if you really resent getting a policy that god-willing you will never use, then start a “rainy-day’’ bank account. This still requires that you fork out some regular dollars to stash away should you need it in case of emergency.

Don’t forget to make sure that someone you trust will have access to these funds in the event that you may be unable to manage your own finances (i.e. brain damaged or comatose).

It is also wise to put together an action plan of what you would like to do should you not be able to make those decisions yourself (e.g. how far should people go in order to save your life. Medivac? Life support? Should property or possessions be sold to pay for medical bills etc?).

All very sobering thoughts, but a bit of planning will at least take the burden away from those who love you dearly and want the best for you should the unthinkable occur.

Is Sugar All Bad?

Is there Room for Sweeteners in a Healthy Diet?

Sugar is getting a very bad press nowadays. It stands accused of being one of, if not the biggest dietary cause of chronic ill health in modern society over the past 40 years. And yet humans are hard-wired to like sweet foods. That’s because sweet tastes are strongly tied to the reward centers in our brain, and can actually relieve pain and reduce symptoms of depression, PMS, and stress. Once upon a time, many millennia ago, sweetness was pretty much how we found out the difference between what was good for us and what poisoned us.

How is it then that today something so attractive to us turns out to be the killer we are now being told it is? Are we in fact demonizing sugar unnecessarily?

The reason sugar is the problem that it is today is simple. Addiction. We have over the past four centuries re¿ned, concentrated and industrialized our sugars in ways that quickly became bad for us when combined with poor nutrition.

In the last 60 years the big food companies, who up till then had prospered very nicely peddling concentrated re¿ned sugars in the confectioneries, canned foods and jams of the day, went into overdrive as they crammed as much sugar and salt into their packaged goods as they could, whipped on by Wall Street and their shareholders. With the advent of corn syrup and the explosion of the soda drinks market the consumption of sugar went stratospheric. Fat was the villain, lo-fat was the mantra and sugar in the form of High Fructose Corn Syrup was the Golden Fleece. Government and the medical establishment went along and the public paid the price.

It is an unfortunate truth that the attractive properties of sweet tasting food strongly dispose us to over-consume them, whoever we are, rich or poor and particularly children, and it’s become painfully clear that the huge quantities of concentrated sweeteners consumed today are now known beyond doubt to be harmful to our health. Many of us over the past several decades knew or sensed this and sought ways whereby we could satisfy our sweet tooth without damaging our health. The key question then is, whether this is possible and if so how?

The answer is a quali¿ed, yes. It is possible but we need a level playing ¿eld unskewed by the purveyors of Big Food.

The best and simplest way to have our cake and eat it is, just that – keep it simple. Forget the cake; get your sugar ¿x from fruit. Whole fruit, fresh fruit, not as juice, or dried, not canned in syrup or processed in any way.

We are told sugar is sugar, whatever form it comes in and can be bad for you. Well that’s true, so far as it goes. But fresh fruit is good for you in many ways and you would have to consume a huge amount of it for it to be anything but good for you. The only problem with this is, sugar junkies (and so many of us are) want a much bigger hit than fruit will provide. Fruit doesn’t do it for the sugar junkie, in fact the idea of eating fruit, if not abhorrent like broccoli say, is just something they don’t really want to do. Two weeks of cold turkey, no sugar and nothing sweet unless it is a 100% natural unre¿ned food like fruit can break the addiction.

Package food containing sugar is out, period. Other herbal or sweeteners, like honey or stevia are OK later in moderation, but not to begin with. Curbing your sugar lust is a hopeless cause until you genuinely come to ¿nd excess sugar distasteful. That’s when you rediscover the Garden of Eden that is natural sweetness.

only concentrated sweetener available for much of human history, and generally honey was quite rare, and consumed in small quantities. While this was true for most huntergatherer groups, it wasn’t true for all.

Some societies, even today, still rely on honey for a signi¿cant part of their calorie intake. You are not a huntergatherer so that doesn’t necessarily mean you should go out and consume vast vats of honey, but that if you have to use something as a sweetener, honey or something similar is as good as it gets (so long as it is real honey). In fact at some stage of our history it is probable honey was actually far more abundant than we realize, rivaling our current consumption of sweeteners today. But a lot better for us. There is evidence that it was honey, along with meat and starchy tubers, that helped make us human by providing concentrated glucose to support brain growth. As our hunter-gatherer forebears settled down, we gradually discovered new sources of concentrated sugars. Maple syrup was introduced by Native Americans, and became popular in North America. Jaggery, produced from sugar cane, became popular in India and is still widely used. Some sweeteners common in early China include “tree honey” and “thorn honey,” both extracted from different plants. By the 17th and 18th centuries, table sugar surpassed all of these traditional foods and became the world’s leading sweetener, facilitated by the twin evils of slavery and plantation farming.

Fast forward to 1970, when the average American’s consumption of added sugar was 23.7 teaspoons per person per day. By 2012, that amount had increased to 24.7 teaspoons, and the percentage of total calories obtained from sweeteners had risen from 13% in 1977 to 16%. Signi¿cantly, 80% of this increase was from sugar-sweetened beverages, rather than solid food.

Our Attitude to Sweeteners It’s interesting to note our shift in attitude towards sweeteners. For modern hunter-gatherers like the Hadza of Tanzania, a sweetener (honey, in their case) is just another food, albeit a highly prized and nourishing one comprising 20% of their diet. For us it’s the opposite. We have become conditioned to think of “sweet” as “unhealthy”. Instead of using sweet taste as a guide to the most calorie-dense food that is good for us, we try to ¿gure out how to avoid caloric density, while still enjoying sweet taste. And along with the desire to limit caloric density in general, there’s now the growing fear of sugar itself, and re¿ned sweeteners such as table sugar and HFCS (hi-fructose corn syrup) now seen as toxins.’ This is a sad shift from our evolutionary background, where sweetness signaled safety and a lack of toxins. If the Hadza of Tanzania can obtain a large portion of calories from sweeteners, why can’t we? What makes traditional sweeteners like honey so different from table sugar, and for that matter, which sweeteners are healthiest?

Why has sugar become such a bane to our health? Is it really addictive? And ultimately, how can sweeteners ¿t into a healthy diet?

These are good questions and complex ones. Do yourself a favour and keep it simple. Consume most of your sugar intake in the form of whole fruits (not juice concentrate).

Limit your use of added sweeteners to natural products like pure honey or natural tree saps like maple syrup or an herb like stevia. Above all, eschew all sugars contained in packaged goods. It almost certainly is not good for you, whatever the packet says. Do this and pretty soon your sugar fetish will be assuaged to the level that sweet food can become a natural food and part of your diet to which you don’t have to give a second thought.

Honey & Evolutionary Sweeteners Most of us primarily think of taste - especially sweetness – in terms of enjoyment, but sweetness is not just a source of pleasure. As omnivores, our hunter-gatherer ancestors had a wide array of potential foods to choose from, and as noted, the sweet taste sensation was one of the ways they could identify safe, non-poisonous foods with a high nutrient-to-toxin ratio. Honey was the

Reviews of English language books on Indonesia

Wayang Potehi of Java by Ardian Purwoseputro Among the most beloved cultural icons the Chinese have given to the nation is potehi, a form of puppet theater featuring two-dimensional puppets-inthe-round. This ancient traditional t h e a t e r, w h i c h epitomize Chinese culture, is based on ancient myths and legends.

Thanks to the exposure given now to this unique a r t i s t i c l e g a c y, Wayang Potehi is one of the best examples of Indonesia’s interfaith harmony and cultural diversity.

Chinese folk theater and literature traveled with Hokkien migrants from the Fujian Province of southern China to Indonesia and was already being performed in 17th C. Batavia, the commercial and administrative center of the Dutch East Indies. Potehi means “gloved puppet theatre” in the Hokkien dialect. The Wayang Potehi theater form of Java is quite distinct from Chinese theater found in other countries outside China.

But starting in 1967 and lasting for a period of 33 years, Chinese traditional customs and culture were suppressed in Indonesia - in what amounted to cultural genocide – with the passage of the Suharto’s Presidential Instruction No. 14. President Gus Dur ¿nally revoked this onerous racist law in 2000, marking the beginning of Wayang Potehi’s revival and resurgence in its home ground of East Java.

Active theater venues where troupes of puppeteers now perform are Hong San Kion Temple in Gudo (14 km south of Jombong); Poo An Iong temple in Blitar; and in Tulungagung and Mojoagun.

In Wayang Potehi of Java’s lengthy pictorial section are shown the extraordinary works of most famous puppeteers: Wok, Liem Sing Tjwan, Tan Soen Bing, Liem Sam and Toni Harsono. Eleven masters proudly pose with their favorite puppets. Though their artistry is invisible, manipulating the puppets so dexterously and limberly takes great skill which can only be achieved through long training and experience.

The most active doll making centers are not surprisingly the same places where the theater form is most frequently staged. Each potehi sculptor, the majority ethnic Chinese, reveals his own unique perception and taste in their creations which imbue the puppets with a life of their own. The craft also encompasses the making of detailed accessories like bejeweled hats, crowns, headdresses and weapons.

Once only put on inside temples, you can now ¿nd Wayang Potehi freely performed in public places such as shopping centers, campuses, entertainment centers, galleries, museums, churches, school, even pesentren Islamic boarding schools. Though not compulsory for worship, a temple courtyard milling with people is the most authentic environment to see a show, a lively and colorful affair accompanied by music where toy and snack vendors peddle their wares. Though the performing artists directing, acting, singing and playing instruments are for the most part local Javanese who can’t speak Hokkein or Mandarin, they still carry out all the rituals such as the burning of paper money in the corners of the show box and the playing of rhythmic music and drumbeats (lau tai) which invites the audience to come and watch.

Though the dialog is in Javanese, the music is still Chinesestyle that enlivens the story and introduces scenes and characters - a quick tempo signals the start of a battle scene, a Àute might mean an emperor is about to appear.

A photo collage on page 116 shows all the traditional Chinese musical instruments in numbered photos corresponding to detailed explanations on the opposite page. The elaborate performance stage (hi pe) is a small box-shaped two-story house resembling the porch of an imperial palace with carved ornaments and decorations.

Some stages are built right into the construction of a

Wayang Potehi is held on occasion of temple rituals, annual religious festivals such as birthdays of the saints, ascension of the deities to heaven, as a prayer or a blessing, during Chinese New Year and the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts, staged as an offering to rain deities or revered ancestors, as an educational tool in the teaching of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism or just as pure entertainment. Performances, which are often serialized, are put on 2 or even 3 times daily and can run for as long as two or three months.

Much like Javanese wayang theater, favorite potehi characters are idolized and eagerly awaited by the ethnically mixed audiences, in particular non-Chinese who live near in the dense kampongs around the temple premises. Potehi stories are about heroes, tragedies, romances and the court intrigues from the classic 19th and 20th C. Chinese dynasties. Many historic sequences are already familiar to the Javanese onlookers because they also occur in ketoprak folk theater. The use of Bahasa Indonesia makes the plots more easily understood by both Chinese and non-Chinese and add to Wayang Potehi’s popularity. To add spice, comic, slapstick and magic scenes, clowns singing in uproarious rhymes and cacophonous duels between evil and heroic characters are the best-loved elements of a show.

C/He/G-11 June 14

Author Ardian Purwoseputro obviously loves the subject he’s writing about and wants to share it with Chinese-and non-Chinese alike to ensure that the Wayang Potehi lasts into perpetuity. The lavish detail, the love of side anecdotes, the frequent use of explanation points, the fan-like adoration of obscure puppeteers, the loving descriptions of the accouterments, the chronicling of how folk tales were adapted into original scripts, the close up meticulously captioned photos, the assiduous research in the ¿eld and the infectious and positive delight that he takes in the telling all point to the considerable enthusiasm he has for this theater form.

Production-wise, the whole volume feels light and fanciful, the dominant design scheme of cheerful, bright and festive colors like blue-green, red-orange, red-violet and purple as well as Àoral motifs tie in well and coordinate with the beautifully fashioned and color rich dolls and accompanying theatrical paraphernalia. Many of the handmade puppets, some paint-chipped, worm eaten battered specimens over 100 years old, are presented in their full splendor on a single page to bring to life the full force of the doll’s personality or presented with generous surrounding white space to highlight facial features and brocaded garments.

No matter what their station, all are dressed in resplendent costume.

This passionately written one-of-a-kind work - the ¿rst book to comprehensively introduce Wayang Potehi to the general public - is an obligatory addition to the libraries of theater lovers, puppet enthusiasts and students of Chinese culture.

Restaurant Review

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

Dining with Royalty!

You see them in period movies. You read about them in books. Grand old homes that have foyers larger than a normal house, twin staircases spiraling upwards around a chandelier that hangs from the ceiling.

A grand piano sits on the side of the room. They are old fashioned mansions.

A new version of same is The Mansion, in Sayan, just outside of Ubud. It is a grand home set in magic landscaped grounds.

At their restaurant off to the left of the foyer, Indochine, you are in the stately dining room, the well spaced tables offering both privacy and garden views. You can pretend that you are dining with friends in your own grand mansion! Although just outside is a pleasant terrace beside an ornamental swimming pool, which is where I prefer to dine.

Vietnamese is the main cuisine, although there are French and general International offerings as well.

Goi Cuon has become very popular in Bali with many cafes and restaurants doing their own particular versions. They are normally just referred to as Vietnamese Spring Rolls, and are fresh rice paper wrapped around an assortment of fillings. Some even have the correct nuoc nam [Vietnamese fish sauce] dipping accompaniment. At Indochine they are presented very differently; the roll is laid out across the plate and stuffed with a combination of chicken, prawn, lettuce, bean shoots and herbs, covered with nuoc nam and sprinkled with crushed peanuts. Unlike the café versions this one requires a knife and fork, rather than being finger food.

Yes, like most Asian cuisines there are Spring Rolls [Cha Gio] but the Vietnamese variety are quite different from the rest, small crisp thin rice paper casings are stuffed with minced chicken and mushroom, bite off the end and fill them with the traditional nuoc nam sauce.

Bahn Cuon is a similar roll that has been steamed, and is closer to what is generally seen around Bali. The filling is ground pork, ear mushrooms, carrot and coriander. Goi Cuon Nem is similar but accompanied by a spicy peanut sauce.

Banh Xeo [pictured] is on the mains menu but we often order as one of our entrees and share it, it is called a Vietnamese Pancake but is in fact nothing like that, rather similar to an oversize taco. The super thin crisp shell is packed with pieces of chicken and vegetables, refreshingly different!

Bho Ko is the traditional Vietnamese beef stew, here served on puff pastry with crisp glass noodles, the meat pieces have an intense flavour with a pleasant lingering aftertaste of

cinnamon. The Bo Luc Lac is chunks of prime beef that has been glazed with a black pepper crust.

QUICK REVIEW

Moving to the International menu they have an ‘amuse bouche’ that can be ordered and it is more like a degustation of entrees, it includes Black Caviar on grilled purple yam, Goose Pate in port wine, Smoked Salmon with salmon pate, Black Truffle Champignon, garlic butter Escargot in red wine and Moule au Gratin in white wine.

Fillets of Snapper are with preserved lemon and a basil risotto and a sweet pea relish. Pan seared Squid is in sea salt and black pepper with garlic, olive oil, saffron and tamarillo sauce.

Scallops are uniquely done hollandaise style, with lemon honey mustard macaroni accompanying. Chilli Crab and Lobster are other seafood options if pre-ordered the day before.

The Rack of Lamb has been roasted in the oven as has the Ham Steak after being glazed with honey mustard sauce.

Honey is also used to glaze the Ribs [beef or pork] before being barbecued. Steaks can be Wagyu, Fillet Mignon or Sirloin.

Duck is presented Ubud style. Cooking is a two stage process, first steamed with spices under pressure, then fried till crisp.

It can also be served with an orange sauce to create a Bali-French special. Chicken is offered many ways; with Kashmiri butter sauce but Biryani style with rice, Roasted with 5 spices, Caramelised with lemongrass [Vietnamese], Sweet and Sour [Chinese], Cordon Bleu [classic French], Cajun with linguini or in a Vol-au-Vent with basil cream.

A variety of desserts finish off this dining experience. It can be a Vietnamese Crème Caramel, blending butter, brown sugar, milk and egg with fresh cream and strawberries. The Pannacota is wonderfully light, a light mousse of fresh cream and coconut milk topped with fresh strawberries, but the most interesting is their Trio of Crème Brulee.

Very refined dining!

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE AUGUST 06 - AUGUST 20, 2014

There are two planetary sign changes this fortnight; Venus moves into Leo and joins with Jupiter and Mercury enters Virgo. The Full Moon is in Aquarius in the early morning of the 11th. An interesting Moon this one, as Uranus Aries trines the Sun and Mercury in Leo and is sextile the Moon. Mars in Scorpio is trine Neptune. Pisces and Chiron Pisces and Saturn are also still in their trine formation. There is a T-square with the Sun/Moon opposition from Saturn. So although we have this deep karmic healing/cleansing going on, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t without its challenges. We can talk about the family, ancestral or bloodline issues here and know that the ego has a big chance of getting in the way during this Full Moon. Parent child themes are strong, along with authority confrontations in all their forms. This is a time when people on the individual level will be claiming their personal authority and wanting to make choices for themselves, rather than being told what, when and how to do things. Saturn is digging deep into the underworld and raising some heavy topics and confronting facts. Or the other hand, if people have been manipulated or sexually abused, deceived or coerced, they could be willing now to take action, to speak up and to band together in groups to fight for their cause. The feminine has a strong voice this cycle, as Venus was opposite Pluto on the New Moon and Mercury now sits opposite her. There will be fiery communications.

FULL MOON 18 Aquarius 02 August 11, 2014 2:10 a.m.

ARIES Venus in Leo moves into your house of romance and children as she joins Jupiter to bring good fortune this fortnight. Meanwhile Mercury in Virgo is preparing your mental agility when it comes to work and health related subjects. This is a great time to make plans with regard to your job or perhaps an exercise or diet regime is needed. As the Full Moon looms in the friendship sector you may be more social than normal, particularly with the Sun in Leo counterbalanced in its own house and wanting you to shine brightly. Be careful to not overlook the important people in your life, as they will be wanting your attention now.

LIBRA With the Sun, Jupiter and Venus in your community sector, bringing a great time with friends and brilliant new ideas, the Full Moon highlights romance and personal relationship. It may be through one of these friendships that you strike up a more intimate relationship which could activate some re-evaluating and parental control issues. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bad thing, more karmic, than bad and perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply the time to deal with this. As Mercury sets to enter the darker arena of the 12th house, you will be ready to explore the workings of the unconscious mind and may keep your thinking more to yourself. Make space for contemplation.

TAURUS Venus is your planetary ruler and as such has a big impact on your life when she changes signs and houses. She now has you setting up house with pride and brings expansion to anything that is to do with family, nurturing, ancestry and home. This Full Moon sits in the opposite area of the chart which is all about your career, vocation or worldly goals and as such creates a dichotomy within or at least a balancing act with your own inner feminine and masculine aspects.

Relationship responsibilities could weigh heavily as you split your time between them. Mercury Virgo is bringing some clear thinking when it comes to self-presentation.

SCORPIO Venus enters your career house just after the Full Moon, to join with Jupiter and the Sun. You could strike up some very fortunate deals now and you are ready and willing to shine in your vocational activities. The Moon itself will be in the home sector as it reaches its climax and this could bring a balancing act between the need for nurture and your outer world activities. Many of you are dealing with physical issues in the body concerning structure either through your teeth or bones. You could be feeling limited in the way that you express yourself or your personal appearance.

These issues will be highlighted during the Full Moon.

GEMINI This Full Moon will be promoting some higher consciousness themes and you will be sharing them in a very communicative way and probably not without challenge as you threaten the controlled world of other people. It will probably come out in your work environment or the issues could be around the topic of health or healthcare. As Venus joins the other Leo Planets and in particular Jupiter, this fortnight, you will be feeling very optimistic when it comes to dealing with siblings or any short distance travel you undertake, media and any writing matters. Perhaps you are ready for publishing now and this is the time to promote yourself.

SAGITTARIUS Travel is a pretty hot topic right now and it could be a love interest that gets you on the move. Mercury transits into your career arena and you are capable of doing many different tasks at this time. The Full Moon herself is in your marketing, media, internet, communication and short distance travel house and brings an added sense of movement and communication. This is set to be a lively time with the real work going on in the depths of your own psyche as you integrate your external experiences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Releasing deeply held karma wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be apparent to others although it may well trigger the way that you relate to them.

CANCER Money and personal values are super highlighted now and you may acquire some lovely new belongings. This is a great time to take in new information and really move on any money making opportunities that come your way.

The authority challenge is coming through your personal presentation, creative projects or the children in your life.

With the Full Moon in the area of shared resources, loans, wills, sexuality and endings, in your chart, you may have to let go, to make room for the new inflow or to share a little more for the welfare of all. With Mercury set to enter the communication and marketing house this could be the time to organize publicity.

CAPRICORN An interesting Full Moon in your money making house. The opposition to the Leo Planets in the 8th house and the Saturn in the community sector creates the tension that is needed to re-balance yourself and to pay back some old debts. They may not all be financially oriented and with the Mercury Virgo entering the arena of higher communication you will find it easier to express yourself as you are now able to take the time to use some discernment when it comes to sharing your ideas. Venus is calling for some intimacy and beautifully expressed feelings. For those falling in love now, it will be a very expansive and fortunate affair as well deeply transformative.

LEO This fortnight highlights the need for autonomy and will bring the feminine issues through partnerships. As Venus enters your first house, you may be more inclined to direct attention to your own personal appearance, style or label as opposed to that of others. Mercury enters the house of values, money and possessions and this could be a time to mentally sort through them. Your challenges are coming from the family and possibly through one or both of your parents. Old issues just keep coming up and they could undermine your relationships with friends or how you feel about yourself. Some things simply take time to heal.

AQUARIUS Saturn is hard at work in your career sector and is challenging both the Sun and the Moon this fortnight. With the Sun and Jupiter in the relationship house, partnership is fiery and action oriented, meanwhile the Full Moon swings around to your first house and allows you deep nurturing for yourself. Maybe even some alone time around the Full Moon would be good to get some insights on the next moves or a little time to simply vision the future. The mental realms will be deep and you will have a mind for investigation as Mercury enters your 8th house of transformation. Topics of conversation may include sex, death and money sharing/lending or borrowing.

VIRGO Mercury your ruler is moving into your house of self-expression and your own sign.

This bodes well for asking for what you want and to make those changes now to the things that affect your image or personal appearance. The Full Moon is in the area of health and highlights emotional expression, although this wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily be an easy thing to achieve. Saturn is restricting this deep communication through sibling issues and something to do with parents. The Sun is up there in your 12th house and sifting through the deeper unconscious relationship motivations. At least the Leo Planets are bringing a bright light and optimism.

PISCES As Saturn holds your mind to its expansive capacity and creates new boundaries or at least ever widening ones, you feel the tension to that area of health, service and work.

What do you do with all this information you possess? Full Moon in the 12th will balance out the outward service and allow a little time for the deeper inner dimensions. Perhaps this is a time to integrate the latest round of soul expansion and evolution. With Mercury in your relationship house, communications will be exacting and plan oriented. If you work one on one with people, this is a good time for you to express with objectively. Venus has you loving your pets.

Restaurant & Food

06 August - 20 August, 2014

29

Update Elsewhere may be a funny name for a restaurant but there is nothing funny about the food served here, in fact it may prove to be one of the finds of the year! Unpretentious but interesting sums up young Australian chef Brad Harrison’s 1st solo venture, daring to be different. A small space on Jln. Danau Poso in Sanur but the menu reads like a trendy café in Sydney with Mod Oz cuisine [traditional European cuisine combined with Asian flavours and given a modern touch]. The Calimari is crumbed with quinoa, a chilli citrus dressing on the side, the Chicken Liver Pate is served with a date and fig chutney, the Prawns with garlic butter and pink pepper, Samosas are stuffed with red lentils, peas and potato and mango pickle. For the healthy there is house bread with a Trio of Dips; baba ganoush, hummus and chilli jam [pictured] although most dishes here have that ‘tick for good health’ feeling about them. Mains continue the journey presenting something very different for Sanur. Chicken breast marinated with lime and chilli served with a lemongrass & coconut risotto, bok choy, chili jam and lemon butter sauce. Butterfish is with caper mash, proscuitto crumbs and lemon butter. Bali favourite Pork Belly has been roasted then served with caramelized apple, shaved fennel salad, pommes puree, green beans and apple cider jus.

Even the pan-seared Steaks are served in style with potatoes, beetroot puree, green beans, watercress quenelle and red wine jus. For dessert a Chocolate Pate with macerated fig & toasted coconut, marshmallow & short bread and passion fruit sorbet. Elsewhere is not yet fully licensed so BYO [small corkage]. Quality food at budget prices!

JAZZ SENSATION DEBORAH CARTER TO LIGHT UP

UMA CUCINA On August 10th, Uma Cucina – Uma by COMO, Ubud’s Italian restaurant – is the destination for delicious Mediterranean cuisine and world-class jazz music, with a special performance by American vocalist Deborah Carter.

Open from 6.30pm, guests are invited to come along early to Uma Cucina and enjoy a four-course Italian feast (from Rp 850,000 per person, with additional wine pairing priced at Rp 350,000). Highlights include chargrilled Tonkuzen sirloin steak with burnt broccoli salsa verde, followed by a tempting Valrhona ‘chocolate nemesis’.

AriBar is the latest Mexican restaurant to open in Bali. On Jln. Kartika Plaza it is sited

where Ryoshi used to be [now re-located to a new site 50 metres away] and offers all the standard Mexican fare plus a few with a twist. Corn Cakes are with toppings; guacamole, pico de gallo and pork belly. Tostaditas are topped with braised duck [bell peppers, feta and tamarind mayo], braised goat [pico de gallo, red chilli, mint and jalapeno sauce] or slow-braised pork cheek [cilantro, jalapeno and chipotle mayo]. Needless to say there are the usual combos with Fajitas, Burritos, Enchiladas, Tacos and Quesadillas. For something different try a Mex Burger with chicken or a Rubbed Pork Fillet with walnut and tequila raisin sauce. Finish with Mexican Churros with cinnamon sugar and chocolate sauce. The Margaritas and Sangrias [many combinations] are sold by the jug. No doubt the management are fans of that crazy cartoon character, Road Runner…..arriba, arriba!

Reservations: dining.uma.ubud@comohotels.com

Uma Cucina is a standalone restaurant under the management of and at the streetside

Prices are subject to 21 per cent government tax and service charge.

At 8.30pm the entertainment starts, with Deborah and her band performing original compositions as well as some of the jazz classics.

front of Ubud’s Uma Hotel, on Jln. Sanggingan. They are joining with the Ubud Village Jazz festival by presenting American jazz singer Deborah Carter at a special dinner on Sunday August 10th. Dinner is at 6.30 and the jazz performance begins at 8.30. Cost for the 4 course Italian dinner and jazz spectacular is Rp. 850,000++ p.p. [plus an extra Rp. 350,000++ p.p. for the wine pairing, if you wish]. Begin with a Bruschetta of barely rare kingfish, papperonata, squid vinaigrette [wine pairing - 2011 Feudi Di San Marzano, Pinot Grigio, Italy], Lobster Ravioli with dried orange, white wine sauce, tarragon almonds [2011 Poggio Al Tesoro, Cassiopea, Italy], Fish in Crazy Water, Red Snapper, tomato, fennel, olives, capers, roast garlic aioli [2010 Beni di Batasiolo, Chardonnay, Italy OR Char-grilled Tonkuzen Sirloin with burnt broccoli salsa verde, grilled red onions and balsamic [2012 Castello di Querceto, Chianti DOCG, Italy], then finally Valrhona Chocolate Nemesis with poached pineapple, almonds, mascarpone [2008 Oremus, Late Harvest Tokaji, Hungary].

Then coffee or tea with Petit Fours. An alternate vegetarian dinner is also available.

Tiflis is Bali’s first Georgian specialty restaurant, although the old Slavyenka did do some Georgian dishes on their all Russian menu. It is found in Umalas II and judging by the language spoken by its customers the food must be very traditional. Special on Thursdays are those Georgian Dumplings, Khinkali. Also popular is the Lobiani ‘pie’, two thin layers of Georgian unleavened flat bread have a mixture of red bean and herbs sandwiched inside before baking in the oven. Georgian Dolma is so different from all the Greek and Middle Eastern variations. Finish with their homemade Chocolate Eclairs with hot thyme tea!

Kagemusha has moved. For more than 20 years their little cafe has been found on the

edge of the rice paddies at Pengosekan, just south of Ubud and close to the Perama bus depot that brought many young Japanese visitors over the years, many making Kagemusha their first and regular stop. One of those tourists who dined at Kagemusha years ago was a young man named Sagon who thought that something similar in Seminyak could work well catering for the many young Japanese surfers then discovering Bali [he then opened the first and original Ryoshi in Seminyak, Ryoshi now being Bali’s premier Japanese chain of restaurants]. Kagemusha in Ubud has continued to thrive with its small band of very faithful customers but they have now moved to a street-front site on the main road that runs through Nyuh Kuning linking Ubud with Singakerta. Kagemusha refers to its cuisine as home-style and in this case it really is, an array of simple tasty dishes served without fuss. Their vegetarian offerings are very popular. It is best to do it Japanese style and order a number of small dishes thus enjoying a variety of tastes.

Warung Damar has replaced Batan Waru at the front of the Bali Garden Hotel on Jln. Kartika Plaza [I call it Tuban but the locals call it South Kuta]. The cuisine has stayed mainly Indonesian but with a few standard hotel items thrown in [burgers, steak, sandwiches, pasta, etc]. Otak-Otak is a fish cake wrapped in banana leaf before going on the BBQ, served with peanut sauce, Martabak [minced beef and vegetables combined in a crisp pastry] with sweet and sour sauce and Lemper is shredded chicken and coconut with sticky rice. Konro Soup uses beef ribs as the base flavour. That great Balinese dish Ayam Pelalah [shredded chicken with chilli and lime] is with papaya toast. The mains are from everywhere; Kare Ayam [chicken curry from Java], Sapi Rendang [spicy beef from Sumatra], Ayam Rica-Rica [chicken leg grilled then simmered in chilli and tomato, from Manado] and those Balinese classics Ayam and Bebek Betutu [chicken or duck, steamed with spices]. All served at reasonable budget prices.

Bayu’s Kitchen has spawned a sibling. The popular budget café in Penestenan has

opened a 2nd small outlet at the D’Joyo Guest House on the main road south of Ubud at Lod Tundah. Breakfasts local or international, simple BBQ’s and, surprisingly, Thai curries [red and green] are on the small menu, all cooked by Bayu himself. Breakfast by the pool overlooking the rice paddies is an easy way to start the day.

MUSIC MATTERS

By Toby

Hello and welcome one and all to another action packed edition of Music Matters here in your local Bali Advertiser. I first wanted to start by pointing out that it’s that oh so religious time of year again when certain deadlines become a real pain! However, it was as good an excuse as any to have a Bintang fuelled foray into the live music scene here in the wonderful island of Bali and capture some truly amazing live performances as they graced the stage and created a spectacle you could only hope to witness here on the enchanted isle.

First though I want to discuss some of the new breed of musicians coming through and growing up In Bali. The rise of tourism has many consequences in the island, one of the unforeseen and possibly happier consequences, well for me at least, is the influx of exceptionally talented young musicians from places like Bandung in Java, and Toba in Sumatera. These guys and girls, have grown up with music, and these two places stand out more than any other when interviewing Indonesian musicians.

When musicians arrive here they need places to practice and Bali does not disappoint. I know personally of 7 purpose built recording studios in the Kuta region alone, some of these are independently run others are sponsored by mainly tobacco companies, who plaster their signs around and on the outside of the studios for advertising purposes.

Well as my old dad always used to say “Sometimes u gotta pay to rock!” and taking a bribe from big tobacco to make great music (in my opinion at least) is a relatively small evil.

These studios are very cheap offering rates averaging Rp. 15,000 per hour including usage of guitars, drum kits and all amps etc. The places are usually decked out with mid range equipment and are truly great for emerging bands.

They also serve as a focal point for the musical community as you can advertise for band mates on the notice board, post info on gigs etc and sell all your equipment or buy new stuff right here. One studio in particular at the back of a mini mart close to Mac D’s on Sunset hosts live gigs on a Saturday, where some of the newer and older bands can showcase their talents to a live audience. It is places like this that keep the Bali music scene fresh and exciting by providing the musicians of tomorrow and today.

Wednesday night saw me at Uncle Norms in Kuta a place that is historic and very well known for live music in Bali.

Norms as it is more commonly known is a slightly higher brow affair serving wicked cocktails and full food. It is not small by Bali standards and can comfortably accommodate 50 or so punters with no problem. Norms on Kuta Utara, is Australian owned, and has been providing live music here for many years, they play live music every night and always have their house band in session. The stage is small and really only holds the drums with the rest of the band encased in kind of box affair in the corner, which seems to work as the music is easily heard all over the bar, and the acoustics are good. Right enough of the venue let’s get into the music!

The house band all wear Uncle Norm’s t-shirts (bit gimmicky for my liking) and seem very proud of their chosen nightly gig. The band actually called Nonadin were originally from

Sumatera and had been together for two and a half years, before following the money and moving to Bali. They play classic, blues, rock and even a bit of reggae but I really started to notice after my 3rd Bloody Mary when they cranked out two blistering metalica tracks, nothing else matters, followed by the mighty and very rarely heard Master of Puppets, I was hooked! The evening went from a nice quiet get together with friends, to a full on metal madness in less time than it takes to drink a Bintang. The band really showcased their talents and went on to do Highway to Hell, Shook Me All Night Long, Whole Lottta Rosie all ACDC numbers and even attempted Led Zeppelin’s Rock and Roll (the vocals on this were a bit ropey and the sound not as rich as it could have been, but who truly can imitate Robert Plant the man apparently sold his soul to the Devil sing that well but hell they gave it a go!) The band covered an Iron Maiden number, Run to the Hills, before returning to the more usual music of Wilson Pickett’s Mustang Sally.

The band were tight, together, and had the crowd on their feet.

People got up and sang (obviously yours truly included) and really set the place a blaze. The guitarist was exceptional hitting all the solo’s in Maiden and Metallica numbers, and really giving a show by strutting on stage during Rolling Stones numbers and just kicking ass on tracks most people couldn’t dream of playing. The bassist was louder than most and had a good consistent rhythm and again was a great showman playing slap bass and clapping along on certain tunes. The drummer always in time great double bass work and showed he was exceptional during the later set when the Iron maiden tunes started kicking in. The singers though no Bonn Scott or Robert Plant, did have a great pitch and tone and the female singer (who was definitely more suited to chart music) did a great rendition of Rolling In The Deep. The guy was very good at AC/DC and had a natural higher tone which really complemented that quintessential AC/DC Bon Scott era style. Great gig, excellent musicians, and I can highly recommend Uncle Norms as a great place to catch live music.

How to Renovate a Lawn

‘Dear Dr. Kris, My lawn receives full sun but the soil doesn’t very drain very well at all. I think it has become too hard and compacted. The entire lawn needs improvement and I have noticed that some sort of moss is also invading with all the puddles and the moist conditions. The moss is slowly but surely displacing the existing grass, and I am worried that I will lose my entire lawn. Is there any easy way to rectify this problem, or do I have to start over and redo the entire lawn? Thanks for your advice, Helen.’

condition of the soil rendering it more friable. Adding large amounts of compost will also help.

If the lawn receives a lot of foot traf¿c then the soil underneath can easily become compacted. If you can aerate the soil, you will improve the drainage, and you will ¿x the lawn!

Curators of sporting ¿elds and golf courses have long understood the bene¿cial results of aerating the soil in order to produce top quality turf. Drainage problems can be disastrous for any garden or lawn, especially after heavy rain. Poor drainage will prevent oxygen from getting to the plants roots and also sets up the perfect moist environment for moss and fungus such as root rot to grow, further stressing the plant. With poor drainage be careful to only water when the soil is dry, water your lawn only when you need to.

It would have been better to have had a well prepared soil laid before the lawn that you planted as it would have provided depth for stronger roots which leads to healthy grass. It may be possible to aerate the soil as described above, then add compost/sand and water it in. Before you get started, make sure the soil is slightly moist, it is very hard to aerate a dry soil. Gradually this process will add volume to the underlying soil and improve the lawn. You should always aerate your soil if it was established as part of a newly constructed estate.

Often during construction the topsoil is stripped off or lost to erosion, and the grass established on subsoil has been severely compacted by construction traf¿c.

Sometimes it is necessary to do a completely new lawn. In this case the problem is the moss coupled with the compacted soil. The better option is to aerate the compacted soil as this can improve the drainage, then your lawn will grow healthier and the resulting conditions will prove too inhospitable for the moss to keep on growing and it will gradually die off. Aerating will also help to remove excessive thatch build up, allowing the grass better contact with the soil. There are a multitude of bene¿ts to be captured from this aeration process that you really can’t afford not to do it!

If cost isn’t an issue then you could easily start again, especially if it’s only a small area. You could salvage all of the existing grass if it’s healthy enough and reuse it.

Water the lawn before you remove it then use a garden edger or a spade to cut out manageable sized patches. Pile up the grass in a cool spot out of the sun, keep moist and cover with plastic. If you can’t salvage your grass or simply can’t be bothered because you would like to start fresh, then dig it up and till it back into the existing soil.

With a core aerator you can remove small plugs from the soil, otherwise use a spike aerator or a garden fork to poke holes into the soil, either tool you should ¿nd at the hardware shop. You can even use specially made ‘aerating’ boots with large spikes to walk across the grass if you can ¿nd them, most likely online. After aeration is complete rake out any loose thatch, then top dress with a thin layer of sand or compost over the area. You may need to repeat this process a few times over a number of days or weeks, but you should notice an instant improvement in drainage. Aerating is one of the most beneficial steps that you can take toward producing an outstanding lawn, though sadly most people don’t realize it or understand the process. If your lawn is not looking so great maybe it just needs a bit of aeration!

If you experience no improvement then there may be more serious drainage issues with the soil, at which point you may seriously consider removing the grass, amending the soil then retur¿ng. Water generally percolates slowly through a high clay content soil and that can lead to water-logging. If clay is the source of your problem, amend the soil with something that will break the clay up (materials such as dolomite, gypsum, lime, or pumice) and improve the physical

‘Dear Dr. Kris, Unfortunately my new lawn was laid straight onto construction rubble with minimal topsoil by my landscape gardener. Obviously it has not progressed very well since planting, if at all! How can I improve the condition of this soil? Is it possible to improve, or should I just dig it up and start again? Thank you in advance for your suggestion, Jerald.’

Add new topsoil to cover over this to a depth of 20 cm. then water so that the soil is wet through, but not until it is soaked or waterlogged. Then put your new/ recycled grass on top.

Give it a light watering, then top dress with ¿ne compost or more topsoil then lightly water again. Keep the lawn watered and moist for the ¿rst week, then you can taper off once it has established and new growth becomes evident.

You may have a lower success rate if the lawn is transplanted out in the hottest part of the day as the lawn will become unnecessarily stressed. In hot weather it would be best to lay the lawn out in the late afternoon if possible as it will at least have overnight to begin rejuvenating, after being transplanted. Good luck I am sure this situation is easily recti¿ed.

Occasional Articles From Our Readers

SACRED FOOD and SACRED TEMPLES Sticky rice, palm sugar, banana, coconut and rice Àour wrapped delicately in a continuous strip banana leaf made into a small mouth sized parcel. Delicious! It had been prepared early that day by Era the wife of our walking guide. She had hand prepared over twenty little sweet ¿lled treats for us on our mountain walk. Each one made with love. All the ingredients were collected in the pristine mountain forest next to the village where our guides and their families lived. We were sitting on the side of Batukaru Mountain in the middle of the rainforest surrounded by hundreds of tiered rice paddies.

He had a small machete attached to his hip when he climbed the coconut tree as he had done since he was a boy in the village. He could climb trees faster than anyone. Even today in his early forties there were few who could beat him. Sitting on a fallen log we enjoyed the pure coconut water in coconuts, which he had cut from the tree. We were over eight hundred metres above sea level and the air was clean and crisp and ¿lled your lungs with a sigh of relief of pure oxygen. We had been walking through the mountains in the stunning Batukaru region in West Bali. The forest near the village held a plenitude of native fruits, vegetables and berries. The snake or salak fruit was picked fresh from the tree, with its skin resembling that of snake skin. The hard pale yellow Àesh tasted so sweet like a pineapple and the wild passionfruit was the best I’ve ever tasted. The lady ¿nger bananas hung from the tree tempting us to pick them. Where ever we walked native fruits would be available to tempt our palate. Beetlenut leaves are often chewed by the Elders, leaving red stained teeth.

It is similar to chewing tobacco giving a natural high.

Huge ripe yellow and orange cacao fruits hung from trees ready for the picking. The seeds are used for making, Cacao, a highly nutritious food source. Coffee bushes were everywhere near the village and the cherry is ripe when it turns a bright crimson red. Ripe vanilla pods hung down and you could smell their fresh aroma. We passed many tall aren palm trees, with rows of seeds hanging down from which the red sugar is made (palm sugar). On our journey in the morning by car up the mountain we were in awe when we visited the Pura Luhur (religious temple complex ) Batukaru Temple, which protects Bali from evil spirits from the West. This ancient mountain sanctuary is a site of pilgrimage for Hindu Balinese and situated on the slopes of Mt Batukaru ( a long extinct volcano ) near the village of Wongaya Gede, Tabanan, West Bali.

Originally built in the eleventh century for the Rajas of Tabanan. The Temple was destroyed in 1604 and rebuilt in 1959. The most important shrine is the seven-tiered Meru, ( tiered shrine with thatched roof of sugar palm ¿bre called Duk ). A Meru is also symbolic of their ancestors and the universe. This Temple honours Madadewa, the God of Gunung Batukaru. This Pura has some of the most beautiful garden temples on the slopes of Mt. Batukaru forests, often leaving a misty mystical haze in the cool mountain air.

The square majestical pond to the east represents and honours the Gods of Danau (Lake ) Tamblingan. It has a small island in the middle with a Shrine where local priests are the only people allowed to access. It is said mythical tigers roam the forest, appearing each year in their spirit form during a trance dance of the Temple festival. We passed Jatiluwih Village, which is the home of the purest rice in Bali, if not the world. Classed as a world heritage area, they are able to grow the rice using no genetically modi¿ed seeds and is 100% certi¿ed organic. Biodynamically cultivated in this area, It is called the Rice of the

by Francesca

Gods. Fragrant and vibrantly coloured red, the rice is grown in volcanic soil from the Sacred Water Mountains.

It is rich in selenium, foliate, ¿bre, vitamins and minerals.

You realize the need to take care of our earth and get back to more natural ways of food sustainability in the world for the sake of our health.

On our return from our jungle walk to the village some four hours later, we were greeted by the children all playing in the street, laughing and enjoying the community life. They all went to the local school but today was part of their annual holidays. Approaching our walking guide’s home we could smell spiced aromas in the air. Alit’s wife had prepared a delicious smorgasbord of fresh organic fruits and vegetable dishes, all food from the forest. We had chicken, omelettes made with fresh eggs and herbs.

Crispy tempe (soya bean curd ) and Balinese corn fritters (perkedel jagung ) a popular Balinese dish, my favourite.

Young ferns had been picked straight from the forest only one hour before and cooked up with sautéed spiced coconut leaves. One of the healthiest meals I have eaten, fresh from the forests that we all had been walking through. Nothing closer to nature that that.

This lovely day would not have been possible without the organizational skills and caring attitude of our tour operator Ibu Anna and Yandira our driver to transport us and his valuable local knowledge. The walking guides and their families kept us well-nourished and safe. (This includes being picked up from the forest Àoor by one of the Balinese guides after falling Àat on my face in uncontrollable laughter, embarrassment and no suspected damage done ! ) If you are interested in one of these forest and temple walks contact Yandira in Ubud Mb: 08123982871 email : yandira77@yahoo.com

“Bad Practice Makes Imperfect” My wife was learning to drive.

I had given her a few lessons and had instilled in her that well known rule of good driving (well at least where I come from) the importance of watching your mirrors and the phrase “mirror - signal - manoeuvre”. This is particularly important in Indonesia with motor cycles coming at you from all sides like dodgems in a fairground during the annual outing of the Nigerian Psychopath’s Association.

During one lesson the instructor started getting somewhat agitated.

“Stop looking in your mirrors” he said - repeatedly.

“Has someone else been teaching you to drive?” he eventually spluttered in exasperation. When informed that I had been giving her some informal guidance he totally lost the plot.

But then my wife’s phone rang.

She ignored it.

It continued ringing.

Eventually the by now totally irritated instructor said to her “Answer the phone will you, you have to practice answering the phone while you are driving.”

In Indonesia there are endless instances where people are unaware of good practice, prevailing standards and, in the case of answering the phone, even the law. If instructors are teaching bad practice we cannot expect mr or mrs average to know any better now can we?

Bad practice all too often becomes adopted as standard practice. Perhaps you might have noticed that there is an unwritten local rule that dictates that traffic entering a roundabout has right of way over traffic trying to get out of it. Common sense says that this is a recipe for rotary chaos and yet still the practice prevails.

In the building industry we find many similar examples quite a number of which can compromise both building design and construction. People blindly follow generally accepted norms regardless of whether they are a) common sense or b) sound engineering or c) legally required.

Lying in the rubble of your former palace with ten tons of roof on your head is probably an appropriate time to consider the aesthetic appeal and clean lines that architects are able to achieve by designing support columns as pathetic skinny things that can be hidden within the walls, a very dodgy practice made even more dangerous when roof drainage pipes are installed down the centres of the columns.

The ability to properly support weight is the single most important aspect of the design of any building. Structural engineering design is a complex field and requires specialist training. Unfortunately sound engineering design may be in conflict with other factors such as architectural creativity, poverty avoidance or established bad practice.

You may recall the famous case of the Sydney opera house. The original design was beautiful but, due to engineering limitations, proved impossible to build.

Changes had to be made, the architect had a tantrum, took his bat and ball and left in high dudgeon.

You may also recall the case of the collapse of the 5 storey Sampooang Department Store in Korea, the deadliest building collapse since the Circus Maximus collapse in 140AD. A whole series of intentional and unintentional strayings from sound engineering practice that killed 502 people.

Back to a more mundane level many older houses in Bali have gutters built along the top of house walls, it is a common practice. These gutters are a common cause of problems such as dampness in internal walls. If you are buying or renting a house it is a good idea to note whether there are any concrete gutters and check to make sure that there is no water damage in the walls beneath. You may find stained patches or blistering on the walls or signs of water running down the wall.

You are most likely to see such gutters where a house is built right up to a property line or butting against another building. Typically they will be 30 cms wide and 30 cms deep and made from concrete. They are generally heavy (and more so when full of water), are often built on fairly

weak wall structures and are usually overhanging the wall on one side.

C/BM/U-2 April. 14

Why do we have such gutters? Well the answer is fairly obvious where two sloping roofs come together creating a valley between them and water has to be got away. There are, however, other situations where the reason is perhaps not as obvious. The most common reason is because local people can be very sensitive about water running off roofs and where it lands. To make the most of land area buildings may be built right up to the boundary of a property. Allowing the water to run off your roof and onto your neighbour’s land is considered very bad form so the roof may be cut back a few cms from the property line and a concrete gutter cast along the top of the wall to collect the water and carry it away.

In recent times this arrangement has evolved into much larger constructions. On modern buildings you will note a broad concrete apron is built around the tops of the outer walls under the edges of sloping roofs to collect water and carry it away. These are, in effect, concrete gutters although they may be as much as a metre wide.

C/BM/G-6 August 14

If You Have a Problem with.....

Both gutters and roof aprons may suffer problems caused by either poor design or poor construction.

Concrete is heavy, very heavy, it is even heavier than Britney Spears’ breathing. The earlier concrete gutters were heavy enough but the modern version with a metre width of reinforced concrete apron is putting a huge weight up there and requires specialist structural engineering design using reinforced columns and beams to support all that weight. This weight is transferred to the ground of course and so foundations have also got to be designed to take the substantial loads involved.

The major threat to concrete gutters and aprons is ground movement. All buildings have a distinct tendency to move particularly when first built and such movement results in cracks in walls which, in turn, results in cracks through the concrete gutters which allow water to leak through these cracks and into the body of the wall. Other than rising damp this is one of the most common reasons why houses have dampness and water damage in walls.

How can you avoid settlement problems when building from new?

When you are building any building you are progressively adding a huge amount of weight onto the ground below which will gradually subside and settle under the increased load. This is why you nearly always get settlement cracks in new buildings. This problem becomes far more serious if the land has been filled and the ground not fully compacted.

It is a good idea to avoid building directly on newly filled land.

Sensible builders will wait for land to settle after it has been filled before they start building. 6 months is barely sufficient and better to be at least 2 years. You can avoid the time delay by building foundation piers (columns) in the original land and then filling to the height you want afterwards.

Even a well designed and constructed building is very likely to have some settlement and movement which will crack concrete gutters and roof aprons. The best way of avoiding problems is to not use concrete gutters at all. The old Dutch houses had it right, let the water run directly off the edge of the roof onto the ground and deal with it there. If you do have to build your building up to a boundary wall avoid using a hipped roof (a hipped roof is one with “half pyramids” at the ends) instead use a gabled roof and set the slope of the roof at right angles to the wall and not towards it. Yes I know all this talk of hips and gables makes about as much sense as a dyslexic crossword, perhaps this article will help: http://www.mrfixitbali.com/articles/article190.html.

To resist settlement it is important that concrete gutters and aprons are designed and constructed properly. Repairing cracks and sealing leaks is not easy and something we can perhaps discuss another time.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid!

By Vaughan Hatch

The left and right sides – playing out the puppetry The recent presidential elections in Indonesia were tightly fought by two incredibly polarized candidates: Jokowi, a “man of the people” soft spoken, self-made former furniture exporter from Solo and Prabowo, a former military general accused of war crimes and kidnappings who is also son-in-law of Suharto: Indonesia’s most notorious dictator.

To many people living in Indonesia, the election campaign resembled Indonesia’s famous wayang kulit (shadow puppet show), with the ‘good’ guys to right of the puppeteer: the Jokowi camp (after all, “I stand on the right side” was a political slogan used by supporters); and the ‘bad’ guys to the left: the Prabowo camp (placed on the left side of the voting slips). In an Indonesian puppet show, the evil characters which are placed on the left side of the screen are made up of ogres, giants and dishonest, two-faced folk with “large” features: big, glaring eyes, pot bellies and aggressive demeanors; the characters to the right on the other hand are a cast of refined princes, courageous heroes and wise, level-headed commoners with sleek bodies, slight features and non-aggressive movements.

The contest itself was reminiscent of the Mahabharata epic that is told at these traditional puppet shows, with the ‘bad’ guys trying their best to fell the opposition, no holds barred. After losing at the polls – to the amazement (and regret) of the majority of the Indonesian public – the left side seems like it is never going to give up as they challenge the decision in court while staging orations and protests outside the electoral commission.

Being a sore loser is another feature of the left side of the puppet cast. It seems sadly ironic that with all their negative traits people like this have traditionally had so much power in Indonesian politics and society as a whole. Hopefully not in the near future, however.

Unfortunately for the Indonesian public, even though the puppet show has finished and the right side has overcome, the curtains cannot officially be drawn until the hearing is finished in late August.

Many foreigners living in Bali are passionate about the environment here. We wax indignant about genetically modi¿ed food and compromised genomes. We respond emotionally to vanishing species such as the orangutan, the Java rhino and many other creatures which are rapidly disappearing across the archipelago. Closer to home a sharp watch is kept on the critically endangered Bali Starling.

is yet breeding the Bali Dog for purity, its unique DNA is in danger of being lost. It’s also at risk because Balinese increasingly value all things Western -- especially conspicuous consumables including dogs -- above their own.

I look forward to the day when I’ll see ads in the Bali Advertiser Pet Parade for pure bred Bali Brindle pups.

Maybe I’ll start breeding them myself.

And yet amid this recognition of the importance of conserving our unique flora and fauna, there remains an invisible exception. This tiny island is the only home of one of the world’s most treasured repositories of DNA, contained within the skin of a humble animal that is so much part of our landscape as to be invisible.

The Bali Dog make wonderful pets and excellent guard dogs.

Once the owner has won its trust, it can be highly trained.

This is naturally a very clean dog that seems to house train itself from an early age. The breed is extremely adaptable to many situations and climates, even growing a thicker coat when moved to colder parts of Bali’s dogs are the richest pool of genetic the world.

Researchers at the University of California Davis believe that There are stories of Bali Dogs travelling many miles cross the Bali Dog may be the oldest dog on earth with a gene pool country to return to prior homes. that is unique and valuable.

Although they like to pack up and make a big noise, the breed Between 2000 and 2003 Dr Niels Pederson from the is seldom aggressive and bites are rare if the dog is not Veterinary Genetics Laboratory at University of California provoked.

They’re commonly known as ‘street Udyana University. Bali has two unique indigenous dogs, dogs’ because of their love of running free and socializing the Bali Dog and the highland Kintamani. These dogs have with each other, and although may seem feral almost all are been living on the island virtually unaltered in fact owned.

Their distinctive barks alert some 15,000 years to before the last ice their owners to different kinds of intruders age. (“Snake!” “Stranger!” “Evil Spirits!”).

According to Dr Pederson, Bali’s dogs are the richest pool of genetic diversity of all the dogs on the world. “The true pure breed is the indigenous Bali Dog,” said Dr Pedersen.

“Its lineage goes all the way back to the ¿rst proto-dogs that evolved from the wolves.

Their genes are highly valuable for further research, as they are a window on the ancestral dog.”

His research targets genetic diversity across all dogs and within individual breeds, and the role of genetic factors in autoimmune disorders. Some allele and genomes in Bali dog have never been seen before. He feels that gene therapy using the new gene pool of the Bali Dog may help ‘breed’ dogs with autoimmune problems acquired through inbreeding.

The Bali Dog has a special place in the local culture and is honoured for accompanying Yudistira to the gates of heaven. Clear standards for the Bali Dog are written in scriptures and used to judge whether the new puppy acquired from the market or a relative will be a ‘professional dog’ or if it will be ‘nakal’ (trouble). The priests know the standards and classify the dog based on a set of measurements, body posturing, colouring and tail alignment, just like the show ring at Crufts.

Before plastic arrived in Bali, the dogs played an important part in the ecosystem by consuming the organic waste.

Enthusiastic ratters, they also had a strong role in managing the rodent population on the island. When the dog culling started after the 2008 rabies outbreak, the rice harvest in some areas where the dogs had been eliminated was destroyed by the uncontrolled rat population. They also keep snakes away from the house.

A small group of dedicated people are in the process of bringing respect and recognition to the Bali Dog. Thought to be mongrels because of the wide variation of colours and markings, the Bali Dog is in fact a distinct, pure breed and The Bali Dog is as much part of Bali’s So if you’re in the market for should be recognized as such. a dog, why not choose the heritage as the Bali Starling The Bali Dog is as much part breed with the oldest and of Bali’s heritage as the Bali strongest genetic heritage, Starling.

Penglipuran: Bali’s Iconic Mountain Village

by Bill Dalton

Located in Bangli District, 11 km north of Bangli city and 45 km northwest of Denpasar, Penglipuran is a much-ballyhooed showpiece of the Bali Tourism Authority’s efforts to promote “village tourism,” a program that began as an experiment in the early 1990s. Now the provincial government is pushing the concept more than ever as additional villages are preparing facilities to welcome guests into their homes.

Though not by any definition “undiscovered,” a visit to Penglipuran nevertheless provides a valuable glimpse into Bali’s past customs and traditions (which includes an aversion to polygamy). Made up of 240 families with a population of around 1000, set against a backdrop of great natural beauty, the name derives from “pangeling” meaning to remember and “pura” meaning land. Thus Penglipuran means “a place to remember ancestral land.”

Turning north from Bangli, the temperature became noticeably cooler as we climbed higher into the mountains. We opened the windows to breathe in the fresh lovely air. In the village of Kubu, the location of one of the largest bamboo forests in Bali, we could hear the sound of the wind blowing through the long swaying shafts. Legend has it that the tall grass took root from bamboo sticks used in the making of camp shelters and pikulan carrying poles that were abandoned by the allconquering army of Panji Sakti in the early 17th century.

The sign and turn to the left came up quickly, and after a short drive we drove through the entrance and stopped at a ticket booth. Like at MacDonald’s ordering a hamburger, we paid for our tickets without ever leaving the car. Ahead was a big meeting hall on the right, a spacious parking lot and a small park and picnic area which offered respite and shade for visitors. It struck me how smooth, well organized and trouble free the Balinese had made the experience of visiting Bali’s past.

The villagers have been accepting guests here since 1992, so they’ve had plenty of time to work on it. Penglipuran now gets up to 200 visitors a day. This remote community-based tourism village has the appearance of a well-groomed stage set right out of pre-Javano-Hindu Bali. Close cooperation has been established with the management of hotels and villas to keep the tourists coming.

The village is also a frequent stop on many trip itineraries offered by travel agencies. Like most archaic villages, a protective wall surrounds the whole community, which in turn is enclosed by 122-hectares of unspoiled landscape - lush bamboo forests, fruit plantations and stunning rice ¿elds.

As soon as we opened the door of our old Kijang, it started raining, which happens not infrequently at this altitude of 700 meters. We joined other tourists huddling under open-air pavilions. It wasn’t that cold, so rented umbrellas from the staff and started down the walkway in a light drizzle to the main street of the village.

What a main street! Every traditional highland community in Bali has its own unique street plan, but many conform to Penglipuran. As neat as a pin, the original outer walls of each home compound formed two unbroken walls on either side of the long undulating street, sloping gradually up and down north to south like a ski-run. At the north end is a large protected bamboo grove where the residents cultivate 14 species of that remarkably utilitarian plant. During the Galungan religious festival, the appearance is even more spectacular, the sight of the long lines of penjor poles gracing the main thoroughfare is alone worth the trip to Bali.

One of the oldest villages of Bali, each family compound is entered through a angkul-angkul outer split gateway, all of similar monolithic design which gives the main street a uniformed orderliness. None of the cramped compounds have fences, but are separated from one another by brick walls. We were immediately invited into several homes and greeted by the female head of household, shown around the various brick buildings, the darkened kitchen with open earthen hearths and soot blackened ceiling, the guest room (if they had one) to accommodate tourists and last but not least the souvenir stall. The compounds adhered strictly to the precepts of traditional Balinese architecture using materials and building styles that are fast disappearing in Bali’s rice growing lowlands where such stolid structures are only preserved intermittently in the con¿nes of expensive hotels.

The most unique feature were the storage sheds with bamboo shingled roofs.

Called atap raab tiying, the shingles are first dried and smoked in a wood oven, a process that protects the shingles against insects and rot. Even though you can see light where the shingles join together, they are waterproof because the notched strips interlock ¿rmly. It takes four people about one week to install an average roof. By comparison, it takes just one day to install a genteng tile roof for an average Balinese house. Insects eventually eat away at the shingles and they deteriorate, but not after around 15 years if the weather is dry or 10 years if the weather is wet. Bamboo shingles are now only used in locales in Bali where there is plentiful bamboo such as the area in and around Penglipuran.

Bali’s humble forest huts and village walled courtyards, its elaborate open-air pavilions and awesome religious structures have inspired a whole generation of internationally acclaimed architects and designers. In comparing Bali’s building styles that have evolved from dwellings made of bamboo, to those of plank board and ¿nally to present-day modern cement and brick construction is to see the inexorable changes that are taking place in Bali. In Gianyar’s Taman Nusa culture park, where traditional houses from all over Indonesia have been reconstructed or collected, the design of the traditional Balinese home compound there was based on a traditional house from Penglipuran.

Indonesian kos (boarding house). The village’s official accommodations, built with the support of the Bangli regional administration, is constructed in tropical villa style, though the decorative elements and the wood and limestone and bamboo ornaments are also used in old Penglipuran houses.

A Prototype of Village Tourism The original idea of “village tourism” was for groups of tourists to tour Bali’s traditional rural areas discreetly in small numbers with a minimum of intrusion, making direct, lowimpact contact with the Balinese. This way, guests from the big star hotels and villas of the south would experience the “real Bali” (wherever that is) by joining day or weekend excursions to these villages.

Designated as “Desa Wisata,” other so-called “Bali Aga” ageold villages that are officially included in the program managed by the villagers themselves are Bayung Gede, Pengotan, Tenganan, Bugbug and Budakeling. The most famous aboriginal village of them all is Trunyan on the northeast shore of Lake Batur.

Actually, these are not wholly Bali Aga villages. As Richard Mann points out in his recently published Bali’s First People (Gateway 2014), it’s a common misconception that the mountain Bali Aga were the ¿rst people to settle the island in the 8th century. The term Bali Aga is overused and too often applied to confusing and unveri¿ed historical ¿nds. This group was millennia away from being Bali’s ¿rst arrivals.

Despite the misnomer, the economic concept behind Desa Wisata is that the income earned from selling souvenirs, authentic arts and crafts made in smallscale industries, as well as putting up visitors, improve the villager’s standard of living without having to change their traditions and surrounding environment. Training and internship programs are made available so that the villagers can learn the skills and knowledge necessary to compete in Bali’s hospitality industry.

It’s working. Chatting with the villagers in one of Penglipuran’s open-air warung, wandering the long street without cars whizzing past, marveling at the venerable and aesthetically pleasing architecture were the most memorable experiences I took away from my visit to this wonderful if a bit touristy Balinese temples are derived from representation of a traditional Balinese mountain village. the Neolithic sanctuaries of prehistoric Bali.

Being nominally handsome, I don’t have trouble meeting women. The problem is getting from “friendly” to “physical.” Anything more than friendship feels scary and complicated. I don’t know how to get there, I don’t know how other people get there, and much of the time it seems best to simply stay put. What am I supposed to say or do, how do I know when to say or do it, and how do I avoid panicking?

Dr. ZZ: There is no formula to help shield yourself from rejection. People are diverse. All you can do is ask for what you want, be gracious and allow the next moment to unfold.

The best strategy for saying the right thing at the right time is to speak when you feel like saying something -preferably as close as possible to when you feel it, and when you’re sure the other person is listening. Aim for when you’re already having a conversation that the person seems to be enjoying, and when she’s not looking at her watch, texting/calling her friends, giving one-word answers, or trying to watch a movie. Say, “Would you like to go on a date sometime?” “Can I buy you dinner sometime?” or “I feel awkward saying this, but I would love to take you on a date sometime.” Then, let the chips fall as they may.

It’s also probably best to ask sooner rather than later -before you get too invested -- and accept that lack of connection is the default setting. If something seems to be going well, watch for reciprocity. People who like you will act as if they do. They will help you out in tongue-tied moments and will be proactive about communicating and making plans.

Everybody who is romantically and/or sexually involved got there because someone was brave enough to bridge the awkward space you’re talking about and speak aloud the formidable question. You’ll probably get rejected at least once. But, if you self-reject by panicking, you will never get to the good parts.

Question: My husband and I have been together for four years and married for two. We have an awesome relationship, except there’s one thing: he doesn’t look after his health. So far he has no major health problems. He just doesn’t eat healthfully, and he hasn’t exercised regularly in decades. This doesn’t bother me appearance-wise.

Regardless of his extra weight, I have always found him attractive. Mostly I am concerned because he has a lot of extra belly fat, and his family has a history of high blood pressure and diabetes.

Many times he says that he wants to lose weight, and he agrees that he should exercise. He finally joined me for a jog on the beach a couple of months ago, but he was very wheezy for quite a while afterwards. That was worrisome, so he said he didn’t want to exercise again until he saw a doctor. Now, two months later, he still has not made an appointment. Money isn’t the problem, and the doctor is ten minutes away, but he keeps coming up with excuses: he’s too tired, he’s too stressed, he doesn’t feel like it. I am frustrated and irritated because he won’t explain why he won’t go, and he gets annoyed and shuts down every time I try to talk to him about it. I’m also worried because I love him, and I want us to grow old together. I don’t want him to get sick. Any advice?

Dr. ZZ: You want your husband to see a doctor, he doesn’t want to, and so far he hasn’t felt comfortable articulating why. This is a complicated -- yet simple -- situation.

Unfortunately, you can’t make him want to be healthy. He is an adult with autonomy over his body even if his choices are different from those you would make. Any conversation you have with him has to start from this premise: the only person’s behavior you can control is your own. Chances are you know that, but you’re feeling frustrated that your husband is not behaving the way you imagine you would in a similar situation. Everyone who has been in a close relationship has felt this way at some point. You have to let go of imagining yourself strolling into the doctor’s office, and jogging on the beach.

That said, you will probably want to have a heart-to-heart talk with your hubby. The goal in this discussion, and in any that follow, will be to make it easier for him to go to the doctor. This opens the opportunity to ask questions and listen to answers without interrupting, giving orders or offering advice. No yelling, shaming and guilt-tripping. The reason you are concerned and having this talk is because he is wheezing -- not because he is fat. Even if a slim, athletic person were wheezing after exercise, it would be wise for him to get a checkup. Fat isn’t the problem; his health is.

“Health,” however, means different things to different people. The best place to start may be to talk about why he is reluctant to go to the doctor, and what may be helpful for him surrounding that. Unconditional love will be your most effective tool in this discussion. Bodies are weird, wonderful and occasionally scary. The point of seeing a doctor is to make the unknown (“Is something wrong?”) known. Let your countenance assure your husband that for better or for worse, the two of you will face this together.

Helping or Volunteering in Bali: Where to Start?

Our readers often ask us what charity organisations they can go and visit, help or even volunteer with. Many organisations exist and it is dif¿cult to say which ones are better than others but in this article we would like to suggest a few we know to help you make a ¿rst step and reach out to underprivileged children.

Bali Hearts Project Bali Hearts Project is a small organisation based in Buleleng in North Bali and we have supported them for several years. As most of our readers know, in Indonesia the state education system enables all children to go to school. However, students must have school uniforms in three different colours and a sports kit, shoes, exercise books, pens, pencils etc. and sometimes purchase textbooks. For families on low income or those who cannot work because of debilitating illness, this may mean they cannot send their children to school. Bali Hearts links adults or organisations wishing to help these families to sponsor a child for school. For many of these children it means they can remain with their families and not be placed in orphanages. This small organisation and work closely together with the families; currently sponsoring 39 children and rising to 40 in July 2014.

Jodie O’Shea Orphanage Jodie O’Shea orphanage is known to many of our readers.

It was founded in 2005 by Alison Chester and her husband Yanto Samadi in memory of a very brave young woman who died in 2002 after the tragic Bali Bombings. Today there are more than 70 children living in their home which has expanded greatly over the years. The children come from all walks of life and all come with very sad and often tragic backgrounds. Some still have parents, some might have only one and some have lost both of their parents.

C/E/I-23 July 14

At Jodie O’Shea they try to bring happiness into the children’s lives through good nutrition, education and most of all giving them the love and the security that they have never had. They have many volunteers who are a huge help not only doing fun activities with the children but also teaching them English, counselling and being their friend.

Several of their children have left home and gone out into the workforce. For example, Tony is now a sur¿ng instructor, Asnat a jewellery designer (and even went to Malaysia last year with her company). Jener is working in a villa, Jogi is traveling on a cruise ship working in IT. The founders and the staff are ever so proud of such life successes and they explain that the children come back “home” to see them often. They are very grateful to everyone who supports them with generosity and kindness and welcome visitors and volunteers at all times. For further information please email: Alison@careforkidsbali.com or visit our website www.careforkidsbali.com

In February 2013 they also opened a Children’s Library in Kalisada village. It takes place in the Bale Banjar and is open 2 afternoons a week. They currently have 189 members and 920 books. This wonderful initiative is changing the life of the village for many children and their mums. Bali Hearts are happy for you to arrange a visit to see their work, sponsor a child or donate to the library project. Contact them: balihearts@hotmail.co.id / www. UP CLUB DS BALI – Help with Down Syndrome facebook.com/balihearts kids

Kingdom Kids Home ‘Kingdom Kids Home’ is based in Semapura, Klungkung (about 35 minutes North East of Sanur) and it has become more than a children’s home. The reality is that most of the children in orphanages in Bali are not bona ¿de orphans, but are the tragic outcome of deserted or widowed mothers or dysfunctional families. With no social welfare there is often nowhere for these ‘mums’ to go. A best case scenario is when these children end up in an orphanage, separated from their mother and siblings; in many cases permanently.

KKH started in 2007 with 4 boys and now has 15 kids.

The vision is to make a ‘community home’ so that families can stay together and be cared for with the ultimate aim of being relocation back into their community as a restored and self-suf¿cient family unit.

Currently KKH relies totally on donations and so far they have been blessed with suf¿cient help for current needs.

If you would like to help them, there is opportunity to become involved in many ways and it depends largely on personal circumstances. Tourists here for a short time, or ex-pats who are looking to assist on a longer term basis can come and visit, chat to the kids, play chess, buy a bag of rice, whatever! They will also be starting a ‘Buy a Brick’ fund designed to assist with the building of the planned ‘community home’. The principal overseers of this ministry are Jeff & Virginia Ball.

Up Club DS Bali came about because a few parents wanted the same thing for their special children: a much better future in Bali. But before they can do this, their children need to be accepted in society for who they are; therefore awareness programs are very crucial in playing a part in traditional Balinese community. They are currently working on a free weekly playgroup initiated by parents. Up Club DS Bali also provides updated information and assistance to affected families and works closely with local maternity hospitals in alerting new parents of children with DS that Up Club Bali should be their ¿rst point of contact for support.

In addition they educate relevant local medical practitioners (gynaecologists, paediatricians etc…).

They currently need help with other projects such as setting up free or subsidized therapy sessions (physiotherapy, occupational etc) for the less fortunate families. They want to create a Centre of Excellence and Independence for children with DS to teach them basic daily skills as well as creative skills so they can learn to be independent as adults.

In addition, they aim to nurture potential young athletes to participate in the Special Olympics as representatives of Indonesia and they want to see many more awareness programs backed by the local government and private entities. They need passionate volunteers to help them achieve all these necessary and wonderful aims.

What are Hybrid Hard Drives? Are they worth it?

For those looking to improve the performance of their sluggish computer, upgrading to a faster hard drive can make a world of difference.

The hard drive is the biggest bottleneck in your computer, especially if you use large programs, work with video, like to play elaborate games or anything that requires the hard drive to work hard.

The VelociRaptor drives spin at 10,000 RPM vs. most standard drives that spin at 7200 RPM or older drives that spun at 5400 RPM. The faster the platter spins, the quicker the read/write heads can access the magnetic information.

The downside to faster spinning hard drives is that they tend to run hotter and when they mechanically fail, it can be catastrophic.

The fastest performing hard drives on the market are SSDs (Solid State Drives) that have no moving parts and are essentially like a flash drive on steroids. The problem with this technology is that it is extremely expensive on a per MB basis.

It can be 8-10 times the price per megabyte, so it’s not very cost effective, especially if you want a large hard drive.

About 5 years ago, a new option that combined the low cost per megabyte of the traditional spinning hard drive with the high-performance of the SSD was introduced, primarily for notebook computers.

These ‘hybrid’ drives have a small SSD drive that can store your most commonly used data for fast access and dramatically speeds up the boot time because it doesn’t have to access data from the slow performing spinning drive.

The general claim by the manufacturers is that boot times can be 40% faster than a standard 7200 RPM non-hybrid drive.

When compared to the performance of a pure (and expensive) SSD drive in real world situations, the performance is amazingly close because of the sophistication built into the drives data storage algorithm.

The drive monitors the programs and data that you most frequently use and stores them on the faster SSD portion to improve the performance. It continues to monitor your behavior, so when your primary usage changes so does what gets stored on the faster portion of the drive.

The best part of this technology is that it’s only marginally more expensive than a standard hard drive and less expensive than high-performance 10,000 RPM drives.

In my opinion, a hybrid drive is one of the best-bang-for-the-buck upgrades anyone can make to a computer. They are currently available in 500 & 750 GB storage configurations, which should suffice for most average users.

Tips on Recovering Water Damaged Hardware This actually happened to me a few years ago. I was away from my house and the rain was really coming down AND the winds were strong. Well, I guess the wires holding up my internet ISP antennae just couldn’t take it and the entire thing fell over onto my roof. It broke many tiles on the roof and the water just came gushing in. By the time I got home my desktop computer was in about 4 inches of water. Luckily it wasn’t on at the time. Well I wish I had known what to do. If it happens to you, here are some tips: 1. This may seem a gimme, but it’s very important that you turn off the power to your devices if they are on. If there’s been water damage, it’s not only dangerous to your device to send energy flowing across possibly compromised circuit boards and drives, but also potentially dangerous to yourself. Unplug everything that’s plugged in, even if you think there’s no water damage to that specific device. If your home has a just a couple of inches of water on the floor, there could still be moisture gathering and condensing inside the case.

2. If your home is flooded, be very careful getting to the main circuit breaker panel. Usually in Bali, our circuit box is out side the building but still be careful.

3. For smaller devices, remove the battery if you can.

4. Regardless of the device, follow this one big rule: no matter how tempting it is to turn the device on to see if it’s still working, do not do it. Just one power activation is enough to completely short out the device (if it’s not already).

5. Drying It Out a. First, move the device to somewhere dry. You’ll need to do that, no matter what path you take to recover the device. b. If you think you can handle it, you can try to dry out the device yourself. I would not recommend this for sealed Apple laptops and desktops… your best bet is letting them get mostly dry and bringing them into an Apple Service center here in Bali (iTune Store: 0361 767140, in Kuta) for final opening and cleaning. c. If you have a damaged PC desktop computer, open the case and let it air out. The same for a laptop, though that may be trickier depending on the model. Drying alone won’t be enough, because as water evaporates, it’s going to leave behind residue from salts or whatever else was in the water. d. After you are as sure as you can be that everything is dried and cleaned, put the device back together, plug it in and power it up. If things work, great. Immediately back up the data on the device and either use it or replace it as you originally intended to do.

Reimagining Modern Manhood and an acclaimed spokenword poet and writer.

Leading the vanguard for experimental, avant-garde writing are Chinese writer Can Xue and Japanese novelist Minae Mizumura - both of whom can be enjoyed in-conversation during the festival. Celebrated comic book artist Ant Sang - best known for the hit show Bro Town - first-ever published Maori short story writer Patricia Grace, illustrator Tim Molloy and short story satirist Nic Low will also be joining the program, all from New Zealand.

Ubud Writers & Readers Festival’s full program released August 1

C/U/G-14 May 14

From Indonesia the Festival has invited publishing pioneer and man-of-letters Goenawan Mohamad, intellectual and Islamic scholar Azyumardi Azra, respected Ubud-based art patron and gallerist, Agung Rai, indie rocking artists Made Bayak Muliana, and award-winning documentary maker Dwitra J Ariana. ‘Truman Capote with a machete’ and acclaimed architect, garden designer and columnist Made Wijaya joins the line-up, as does How to act Indonesian YouTube hit sensation Sacha Stevenson.

Festival favourites Debra Yatim, Ahmad Fuadi and Ketut Yuliarsa - who all also formed the curatorial board for the invited emerging Indonesian writers - will again join us and enrich discussions with their extensive experience in poetry, playwriting, fiction and more.

Ubud Writers & Readers Festival - Southeast Asia’s largest and most exciting literary event - has announced its full program of literary stars in a constellation of unmissable events taking place October 1-5, 2014.

With over 150 writers from more than 30 countries it’s truly a celebration of global issues, big ideas, and extraordinary stories. The 2014 theme Saraswati: Wisdom & Knowledge unites the program in an energising exploration of how we learn and the wisdom to be gained by creative expression.

Leading the lineup is Sir VS Naipaul - the Trinidad-born, UK-based writer whose impressive trajectory includes a knighting, a Booker Prize and a Nobel Laureate. This is a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness one of the literary legends of the 20th century.

A number of the Festival’s writers are no strangers to prizes, with Eimear McBride winning this year’s Baileys Women’s Prize, Cyrus Mistry the recipient of the 2014 DSC Prize, and Reinhard Kleist receiving a nod from the Grand Prix de Lyon for his graphic novel The Boxer. Hassan Blasim was the first-ever Arab writer to win the UK’s Independent Foreign Fiction Prize for his short story collection The Iraqi Christ, while environmentalist Tim Flannery was crowned Australian of the Year in 2007.

Festival favourite and master novelist Amitav Ghosh joins us along with his wife and Pulitzer Prize-finalist Deborah Baker - and they will also be leading an exclusive Komodo Islands cruise post-October 1-5.

With wandering in their blood, the program has fearless adventurer and author of hit memoir-turned-film Tracks, Robyn Davidson; British travel writing great Colin Thubron; intrepid hiker Tim Cope; and American author of Lunatic Express Carl Hoffman.

Rayya Elias, Kate Holden and poet Kosal Khiev are all survivors of different stripes, whether their story is of prison, prostitution or heroin addiction. Star of Spike Lee’s Inside Man and HBO’s Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry, Carlos Andrés Gómez is also the author of Man Up:

Plenty of participants are ardent human rights activists and social commentators, from the one-time UN Representative in Sudan Mukesh Kapila, to frontline journalist Pallavi Aiyar, cyber-dissident and secretary of PEN Myanmar Nay Phone Latt, and Polish activist, editor and journalist Adam Michnik.

For the environmentally aware, the exciting Environment Day program returns, held at the award-winning Fivelements, Puri Ahimsa wellness retreat, featuring discussions on climate change, coral rehabilitation and Indonesia’s forests with spokespeople including orang-utan conservationist Willie Smits, CEO of Body Shop Indonesia Suzy Hutomo, and coral reef artist and activist Celia Gregory.

C/U/G-19 March 14

In addition to this stream, there is a yoga-oriented selection at Ubud’s famous Yoga Barn and an exploration of the surfing story in Bali both during the Festival and at a fringe event at Seminyak’s Deus ex Machina with author Phil Jarratt and legendary surfer Rusty Miller.

Finally, with a world-renowned restaurateur and cookbook author at the helm of Ubud Writers & Readers Festival Founder and Director Janet DeNeefe - naturally there is a feast of foodie delights to be enjoyed as well. Cooking demonstrations led by our exotic authors and chefs (including Marco Padang and Bondan), are held daily near the main venue, providing an up close and personal encounter of the writer’s culinary skills.

And as the sun sets on Ubud’s never-ending sea of green, the special events kick in, with film screenings under the stars (this year including Sokola Rimba, Tracks, Charlie’s Country and more), arts performances and vibed-up worldclass music from Indonesia and abroad.

With literary lunches, in-depth conversations, intriguing panel discussions with some of the world’s leading thinkers and writers, twilight performances, film screenings, poetry slams, street parties, cultural masterclasses, art exhibitions, book launches and more, be sure not to miss this world class event set in Bali’s cultural heartland.

people of Asia.

REASON TO CELEBRATE This August Indonesia celebrates its 69th Independence Day and I suspect for most of the country’s citizens this one will have a very special meaning, following the presidential victory of Jokowi, the current governor of the capital city, Jakarta.

Ubud celebrations on August 17 usually take place on the Jalan Monkey Forest football ¿eld, with all sorts of traditional games for young and old, including the craziest climb up a slippery pole that you are ever likely to see.

Jowoko has reached the top of the slippery pole from very poor and humble beginnings, and many claimed he has no skills to run a country. But heck, at night Jakarta holds 15million people and every weekday she expands at her seams as the same number commutes in to work. That makes 30 million people – a larger population than all but 30 of the world’s 242 countries (including neighbouring Australia) and Jakarta surely has at least as many challenges as those countries!

To quote a dear Jakarta expat friend, “Today all Indonesian parents can say to their children, ‘You can be a president if you choose to,’ and truly believe these words in their hearts for the ¿rst time.”

KIDS PIZZA CAMP School holiday times are often tricky – even on holiday. How do you ¿nd activities for your children, so they are having a great time while you are working or doing some “grown-up” holiday stuff”?

Ubud’s Cibo Restaurant – already gathering a reputation for great adult cooking classes with Italian-trained chef Pak Dewa – is holding a Pizza Camp for Kids. Saturday lunchtime (11am-1pm) sessions in early August, with delicious, simple to prepare recipes. If you read this too late, don’t fret; it’s quite possible that they will arrange another session.

Cibo Restaurant is perched above Gaya Gallery on Jalan Raya Sayan, on the western edge of Ubud, with the equally delicious Gaya Gelato shop below on street level; plenty of parking. Call 0361 970363 quickly to claim a place.

FOOD AS MEDICINE, BODY AS TEMPLE Liana, one of the intuitive healers at Taksu Healing Haven, is about to publish her ¿rst Bali book, entitled Food as Medicine. Liana Nenacheva’s depth of experience in the healing arts and sciences is perhaps unique in Bali; she has gathered an extraordinary range of skills over the past 27 years.

Liana ¿rst quali¿ed as a western trained doctor, then as a Chinese traditional trained doctor, and has since completed studies in many other healing disciplines including several yoga modalities. At Taksu, Liana runs workshops and public classes on Food as Medicine, and offers private consultations including her 90-minute Holistic Yoga Therapy and Chinese Medicine exploration, which uniquely incorporates a wide range of her knowledge and skills.

She is very knowledgeable about what food does to and for your body and she’s passionate about helping people. A trip to Ubud should always include a consultation with Liana.

TWO YOGA GETAWAYS A wise-minded Ubud friend suggested a quiet seaside holiday, and recommended two tranquil, lovely places on the east and north coasts of Bali. They’re quite different but they have a common yoga theme.

Shanti Agung, at Jasri, just north of Candi Dasa on the east coast, has all the tender care in planning of someone’s personal Bali vision. We stayed in the very spacious, open plan two bedroom home (the yoga teacher’s pad), which has a good-sized swimming pool and a huge yoga pavilion upstairs, with an unbeatable view of the ocean (and one small but excellent surf break) through the palm trees.

The owner’s vision becomes reality several times a year, when up to 35 people Ày in for a yoga retreat, housed in nearby accommodation – some western villa-style, some with local families – in this tiny Bali hamlet.

There’s a second open yoga teaching space, facing north to the holy mountain of Agung, which is where we headed next, along the coast road with many beautiful glimpses of mountain and sea. Read lots about this gorgeous place and its founders’ dream at www.zenthaishiatsu.com.

ELUSIVE DOLPHINS The Bali-Shangrila Bondalem resort, our second yoga getaway, is also on the ocean, this time facing northern waters. No surf, but crystal clear water and – we hoped – a chance to slip into the water with some early morning dolphins. Unfortunately, our dolphin friends were fishing elsewhere that morning, but the sunrise off the coast was worth the early wake-up call, and we’ll be back.

C/U/I-02 April 14

This time, all the little two storey bungalows nestled on one property, with some dotted around a rambling tropical garden, others overlooking the pool and ours facing a stunner sea view. The high tide waves were so close that it was at ¿rst dif¿cult to sleep, until the steady rumble of the ocean chased every lingering thought away.

A Kiwi guest told me she joined every morning yoga class at the central pavilion, and was working her way through a tempting range of spa treatments and massages. The resort’s driver also helped them plan day trips along the north coast, and took them to the traditional local market.

Again, helpful information, and a glimpse into the heart and passion behind another unique Bali vision, on their website at www.bali-shangrila.com.

Yoga, Detox and Beyond (10 – 16 August) I love all these opportunities to detox and it is a chance to remind ourselves of the importance of healthy eating and living. This is a 6 day intensive detox in which you get to learn all about physiology and the psychology behind the food you eat. You will be guided along an all-inclusive detox programme and learn what happens once you swallow food.

Not something that would naturally spring to mind. You will also learn about the digestive system, physiology and psychology of organ imbalances and how to correct, and you will receive a personalised nutritional consultation. I love this quote used at Samadi from Hyppocrates ‘Let thy food by thy medicine’. So true and how we would be doing the major drug companies out of billions if we all stuck to this mantra and ate what we really need to ward off all sorts of bugs and diseases. This workshop will feed your mind and soul with information to empower you to choose the life you dream to live. This is a non-residential programme including all yoga classes, detox programme, 3 meals a day, all nutritional classes and personalised recommendations. I think all readers would agree that without our health we really don’t have much at all. It is important that we pay attention to our health through good eating habits. I embarked on a detox programme last year which left me feeling rejuvenated and healthy and I am a strong believer in detoxing. This is an ideal opportunity to receive the help and support you need with like minded people.

Putu Evie Suyadnyani: Balinese Dance Instructor

P u t u E v i e Suyadnyani was born and brought up in Sindu village, Sanur. As a young girl exposed very early to dance at home where her aunt had set up a small dance school, Evie has been dancing and singing since she was 3 years old. In 1992, at the age of 10, Evie won first prize for Legong Condong at the islandwide Bali Arts Festival competition. In her professional life, she has worked as an assistant dance instructor, held jobs in retail businesses and the hospitality industry and owned her own translation and copy editing company called indOKiwi. Evie is now the co-founder and director of familyfounded gamelan and dance center Mekar Bhuana.

What are your hobbies and interests?

I have mostly artistic interests such as dancing and singing but I also love many types of design from clothing to interior and exterior home design, as well as gardening and making cakes.

What is your involvement with Mekar Bhuana Centre?

I founded the dance component of Mekar Bhuana in 2004.

Together with my husband, Vaughan Hatch, we manage everything ourselves from concept, program design and marketing, right through to archiving rare Balinese gamelan music, restoring extinct instruments and repertoires and teaching dance at Mekar Bhuana.

Where were you trained as a dancer?

I initially learnt with my aunty in my own home where she ran a dance school. Then I started studying under famous teachers such as the late Ni Reneng Jero Puspawati and I Gusti Agung Susilawati at Yayasan Tanjung Sari.

Do you specialize in a particular type of dance?

The classical legong dance. I’ve always been attracted to this particular genre since I was little. I’ve also learnt many kebyar dances such as Oleg, Manuk Rawa, Taruna Jaya, but I preferred the legong because it is refined yet energetic.

I also studied and performed gambuh which is the root of legong.

What is the most challenging dance you perform?

The princess character in gambuh because I have to memorize the difficult classical Kawi language and speak this when dancing. I had to learn basic Kawi dialogue between characters just one week before our semara pagulingan and gambuh troupe was invited to perform at the Asian Games in China in 2010.

Have you taken part in international dance tours?

I’ve been on tour to Guangzhou, China, New Zealand and in Toronto, Canada where I spent three months last year as a world music artist in resident.

Do you also play any musical instruments?

Yes, gender wayang with my husband in our semara pagulingan orchestra and selonding with my family group, Sekaa Selonding Semeton. We are trying to save from extinction this profoundly beautiful court music which dates from the 14th–17th centuries.

How did you first become interested in teaching dance?

I was always my aunt’s assistant, so I’ve had teaching experience from a very young age. I also like meeting new people and sharing my knowledge.

Bali Advertiser

06 August - 20 August, 2014

Is it difficult nowadays to find qualified Balinese dance instructors?

If you mean professional instructors who are disciplined, possess good communication skills, practice effective teaching techniques and can speak English well, yes it’s very difficult.

What is your “typical” student?

Although there’s no “typical” student. I’ve taught students of all ages, backgrounds and ethnicities - most of my students are female. So far my youngest student has been 3 and my oldest around 50. I have many students from other parts of Indonesia and from all over Asia. Asian students are on the whole quicker learners.

C/G/I-30 April 14

What is the most challenging Balinese dance for Westerners to learn?

The basic movements of both female and male dance are challenging even for the Balinese! When it comes to learning the details of the movements of all parts of the body from your head to your toes, there’s a lot to learn.

Westerners often have problems positioning their bodies and moving their wrists. I’ve taught some foreign students who’ve had no background in dance or music, yet after just 8 lessons they were able to perform a basic welcome dance.

What are the most serious threats to the indigenous Balinese performing arts?

People – even the Balinese themselves – who perform Balinese dance in an inappropriate way such as mixing a sacred dance like Rangda with sexy dancers, which I’ve often seen in Kuta, or playing recorded music instead of a live gamelan orchestra which loses the natural spontaneous connection between the musicians and the dancers.

Practices like this happen because of the desperation of the young dancers, even those who have graduated with formal hard-earned degrees in Balinese dance, but don’t know how to properly market their services in a professional manner.

How did this happen?

Most Balinese dance dramas were initially created in a spiritual or social service context. Performers were not paid in the professional sense. The reason that event organizers can get away with paying such low fees is that traditional dance troupes and gamelan orchestras are perceived by society as indigenous art forms that have originated in the villages and therefore must be cheap. The Balinese themselves believe this and project this perception on to the island’s tourism players.

What do you think can be done?

We must begin to think of the ngayah (community service) aspect of Balinese performing arts as just as much of a profession as a doctor, lawyer or accountant who charge a fee for their service and carry out important work for the community. Dancers and musicians are professionals just like anyone else and should be remunerated for their many years of difficult training and sacrifice.

What are your future plans?

I’m currently building my online teaching program. Since 2012, I’ve pioneered teaching Balinese dance remotely via Skype. I will really start to promote this dance program after our selonding performance in Korea in early August. In the near future, Mekar Bhuana intends to offer seminars and training for young people so that they can learn about Bali’s rare performing arts as well as professional teaching techniques, which hopefully will help empower the younger generation who love the island’s dance traditions.

Any parting words?

I’d like to change peoples’ perceptions about indigenous Balinese performing arts so that they understand that dance and music can be worthy and respected professions without having to fundamentally changing the art forms to suit the tourism industry.

Bali’s Other Waste Problem - Part II Falling into the menacing and somewhat cryptic category of “B3Hazardous Wastes,” highly toxic materials and byproducts of industry, which include pesticides, heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium, lithium) and PCBs, are perplexingly dif¿cult to dispose of properly. Few professional recycling facilities on Bali accept these materials and fewer still process them properly.

There is no problem responsibly disposing of organic material that is actually not waste, but a resource that should stay in the banjar to be used as compost. Likewise, recyclables are collected by pemulung (trash scavengers/scrap dealers) who visit villages to pick up reusable materials. The rest of the inorganic wastes should go to an of¿cial waste dump (TPA) in the area, but often it doesn’t end up there.

Balinese in rural areas simply dig a hole in their yards and bury used plastic, food cans, paint cans, glass, bottles of aerosol, etc.

A favorite place for these disposal pits are within clumps of bamboo where no consumable or decorative plants can be grown.

Bamboo is considered impervious to poisons; moreover, the Balinese don’t eat bamboo roots or leaves.

In my modest survey of 17 people living in urban areas of southern Bali, I learned that residents throw everything - including “B 3 Hazardous Waste” - in their trash receptacles that are picked up by the trash trucks either from private waste disposal companies or from the Cleaning and Park Services Department (Dinas Kebersihan dan Pertamanan). They’ll take virtually whatever’s in your trash bin. You could bag animal corpses, stuff them in, and they wouldn’t even know it.

When you have extra waste, heaps of garden cuttings, you have to slip them a little extra. Pickup times vary from every day, twice a week, on Saturdays or whenever they feel like it. No pickups on of¿cial holidays as well as some Hindu ceremony days. Monthly fees vary from Rp50,000 to Rp75,000. The fee for a professional waste management company like Bali Recycling to pick up your waste is Rp1 million to Rp4 million per year.

To avoid these costs and/or to get rid of difficult-tor e c y c l e dangerous waste, trash is also illegally dumped on empty land, d o w n riverbanks or simply left by the side of the street or road. Several foreign residents in my survey who live in the countryside just put their plastics, cans and other refuse in plastic bags and dispose of them in dumpsters in the nearest town, paying the banjar from Rp350,000 to Rp400,000 per year for the privilege.

Residents are not officially allowed to burn rubbish, which contributes substantially to the polluted air quality of southern Bali. There are already several hundred trash collection points where moveable rubbish containers are set up to serve the over 400 urban villages and communities spread across Denpasar.

A few integrated one-stop waste management out¿ts focus on municipal (household) and tourism waste. These companies accept recyclable and non-recyclable non-organic waste and charge a fee to pick up your waste which you are asked to separate into different types of recyclables like plastics, aluminum, metal, glass, paper, etc.

EcoBali Recycling (www.eco-bali.com), Jl. Br. Beluran 3,

Kerobokan Kuta Utara, tel: 0361-790-7314, email: info@eco-bali. com. They’ll take big plastic bags full of all types of trash, including Styrofoam, for a donation of Rp50,000. For trash collection service, they charge Rp1 million per year. Hours: Mon.-Sat. 9am to 6pm.

The Styrofoam Curse The most common nuisance trash is non-renewable Styrofoam – a polymer made from monomer styrene - which instantly becomes an unwilling part of our lives every time we unpack a new appliance like a refrigerator, TV, DVD player or smartphone.

Styrofoam is used as protective packing material in large blocks or as peanuts which take up at least as much space as the item(s) being shipped. In land¿lls, this petroleum-based material takes hundreds of years to break down and is poisonous or hazardous to animal, birds and marine life. Before it can be reused, it must be shredded and melted down.

My local pemulung won’t touch the stuff and after numerous inquiries most waste management and recycling organizations and businesses don’t accept Styrofoam either because there is no commercially viable facility that processes it in Bali and it’s not cost effective to ship it to recycling plants on Java.

The obvious reuses of Styrofoam is as buffer material to protect shipments and packages; as storage containers; to separate breakable dishware or electronics when moving; to cut out ¿gurines like stars, toys and Santa Claus shapes for the holidays; as containers for seedlings; as shredded drainage material for potted plants. In Yogyakarta, Styrofoam was used as building bricks for construction after the widespread destruction caused by the 2006 earthquake. Bali-based Bali Recycling - Peduli Bali accepts Styrofoam that it upcycles for use as beads for furniturebean bags.

Freon and Petroleum Products Freon is not handled by owners of appliances on Bali. If there’s a problem with the fridge people just bring it to the maintenance shop or a repairman just visits the house and brings the Freon with him to replace the lost Freon in your fridge. A special pump with tank is needed to catch Freon gas (some hotels and aircon maintenance companies in Bali have these). Bali Recycling accepts air conditioners and refrigerators if the Freon has been removed.

The Balinese use motor oil to kill trees by digging holes around the tree and pouring the oil into and around the root system (may take several applications). Used motor oil is reused again in chainsaws. Oil is also used to protect wood against termites by mixing the oil with mothballs (kapur bagus) and letting the wood stand for a week to allow the smell to dissipate.

PCBs, Pesticides Bali’s water is contaminated with toxins because of the chemically dependent strains of rice grown. Because of these environmental concerns, strict long-term monitoring and control of pesticide use is paramount. Bali’s waste processing facilities do not accept PCB contaminated waste since they are a different class of hazardous waste. Handling PCBs, which are generally found in PLN machinery like transformers, is extremely hazardous and requires special equipment, special training, lots of insurance and special permits from the government.

It’s not necessary to use chemicals in the garden if you haul in cow manure and use compost heaps with a healthy infusion of red tiger worms. Moreover, many of the pesticide products currently in common use in Indonesia have been banned in the countries of origin due to their toxicity. To add to the problem, pesticide-resistant insects like plant hoppers can still attack rice plants.

LEDs, Fluorescent Lights LED bulbs have become increasingly popular because they use less electricity, last longer and emit more light on a pound-forpound basis than traditional bulbs. However tempting it is to view LEDs as environmentally friendly lighting, a 2009 University of California study found that low-intensity colored LED lights contain lead, nickel, arsenic, copper and other harmful metals that have been linked to cancers, neurological damage, kidney disease,

hypertension, skin rashes and other illnesses in humans, and to ecological damage in waterways.

Even though NOT currently classi¿ed as toxic, most Balinese recycling centers don’t accept LED bulbs which are so new that the item is considered for the time being as E-waste, the popular, informal name for electronic products – computers, televisions, stereos, fax machines - that have reached the end of their useful life and can’t be reused, refurbished or recycled.

This material should be considered hazardous waste. But it’s a preventable risk. One should wear protective gear when cleaning up broken LED bulbs by sweeping carefully, wearing gloves, a mask and not breathing in the fumes.

You can cut down on your use of all kinds of light bulbs if you use time sensors (even solar lights can be motion sensitive).

Incandescent bulbs and compact Àuorescents also contain high levels of mercury. Spent Àuorescent tubes can be hazardous when crushed, giving off toxic phosphor and mercury dust or vapor. Bali Recycling accepts and deals professionally with Àuorescent tubes and CFLs (compact Àuorescent lights), and also accepts LEDs, Hospital Wastes Hospitals produce a huge amount of dangerous infectious wastes containing pathogens that have the potential to spread infectious diseases, which could give rise to epidemics as well as the widespread contamination of rivers. Hospital wastes include needles, syringes and other operation theater substances that could cause cuts. Reuse of needles that have not been sterilized can result in Hepatitis C and HIV infections.

Pathological wastes include body parts, tissues, organs, fetuses, body Àuids, waste from sick patients, waste contaminated with blood or seminal fluid and discarded diagnostic samples.

Pharmaceutical waste includes medicines, chemicals and radioactive materials such as X-rays. These wastes obviously pose problems for the hospital staff and public by making them vulnerable to diseases like AIDS, typhoid, boils and Hepatitis A or B. Because they contain dioxin, a product of burnt plastics, they can also cause cancer, birth defects and related problems.

Because of the rapid growth in the number of new hospitals and clinics on Bali, often without the relevant accreditation or permits, many smaller hospitals and community health centers incinerate their hazardous substances, releasing toxic chemicals such as mercury, dioxins and furans into the atmosphere (small scale incinerators are cheaper than autoclaves). Bali Recycling accepts mercury-containing thermometers but has never received any from hospitals. They have approached hospitals about this but they are still avoiding the issue.

Regulations are in place in a government-run program called PROPER which is charged with the responsibility of regulating all industrial waste including the tourism and medical industries.

This agency regulates how hospital units in Indonesia (laboratories, kitchens, bathrooms, surgical theatres, emergency rooms, laundries and radiology units) should dispose of their organic and non-organic waste as well as wastewater, but the actual implementation of the program is moving slowly. Not all facilities abide by the rules, usually due to negligence and lack of knowledge and resources. It is common to read of reports of hospitals just dumping their waste into rivers, which drastically affects the quality of water in the rivers in their vicinity.

Local News Joko “Jokowi” Widodo Confirmed as Next President Joko Widodo has been declared the winner of Indonesia’s presidential election and will take office in October.

“There has been a massive, structured and systematic fraud in the 2014 elections,” Mr. Subianto said.

The election commission has declared that Mr. Widodo won the poll with almost 71 million votes or just over 53 percent.

The former military general Prabowo Subianto received 62.5 million votes or 46.8 per cent.

“The presidential election, organized by the (election commission), is not democratic,” he said, adding the commission was “not fair or transparent”.

Mr. Subianto had thrown the final declaration into confusion with an attempt to withdraw from the process at the 11th hour. Some supporters had even suggested he was no longer an actual candidate. But the commission’s declaration indicates his status was unchanged.

Mr. Widodo’s victory caps a meteoric rise for the former furniture exporter who was born in a riverbank slum.

It is likely to be welcomed by investors who hope he can breathe new life into the economy after a recent slowdown.

Ahead of the announcement, Indonesian Democratic Party chairwoman Megawati Sukarnoputri claimed victory for Mr. Widodo at a news conference in Jakarta.

“I want to declare that we, the party that supports and puts forward Joko Widodo and Jusuf Kalla (for vice president), has won,” she said.

There are fears the tension could spark unrest in a country that was hit by repeated outbreaks of violence before former president Suharto’s downfall in 1998. More than 250,000 police were deployed across the country on Tuesday (22/7).

Mr. Subianto - who had also claimed victory in the July 9 election - alleged “massive fraud” and said he was withdrawing from the race to lead the world’s third-biggest democracy.

Tensions have been high since Election Day as both sides in the contest accused each other of seeking to tamper with the votes during the lengthy counting process.

Earlier in the day as Indonesia’s announcement drew closer, Mr. Subianto called the election process undemocratic.

it only concerned intact forests, leaving others unprotected, Margono said. Margono revealed that the moratorium was responsible for 98 percent of the loss of primary forests in the unprotected category, causing a significant loss of the habitat of endangered species and releasing enormous amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. At the same time, the country is the world’s largest producer of palm oil and one of the major producers of paper and wood,

Security Concerns as Prabowo Seeks to Overturn Election Result While Joko Widodo has been officially announced as Indonesia’s president elect by the General Elections Committee, or KPU, his rival contender Prabowo Subianto has indicated that he will use legal as well as political means to overturn the election result.

At a press briefing in Jakarta on Wednesday (23/7), Prabowo’s campaign team called on foreign journalists and the international community to “withhold from congratulatory statements” to Joko.

Also present at the press conference were Prabowo’s chief adviser and patron, Hashim Djojohadikusumo, campaign spokesman Tantowi Yahya, and lawyer Mahendrata.

The team laid out what they dubbed as “massive, structural fraud” that took place during the presidential election process.

Golkar Party member Tantowi went on to repeat an allegation Prabowo had made during a televised press conference on Tuesday, claiming that the KPU had failed to heed a recommendation by the Election Supervisory Board (Bawaslu) to hold a revote in more than 5,000 polling stations in the Jakarta area, among others. For this reason, the Prabowo camp accused the KPU of being “unfair and unjust.”

However, Bawaslu denied that it had recommended revotes on such a massive scale, effectively rubbishing the Prabowo camp’s claim that the KPU was acting unfairly.

Prabowo rejected the official election result on Tuesday, saying that counting had been “flawed” and claiming that there were irregularities at thousands of polling stations across the country.

Later in the day, Anis Matta, president of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), said Prabowo’s “red-white coalition” would resort to “political means” as they “no longer trusted the election organizers.”

Prabowo’s coalition partners later raised the possibility of establishing a special panel in the House of Representatives to contest the outcome of the election.

The KPU has insisted that the election results are legitimate

and its commissioner, Hadar Nafis Gumay, has denied allegations of fraud.

A successful political challenge of the official result could be dashed however, by apparent fractions within the Prabowo coalition.

MONEY MATTERS

by Colin Bloodworth HOW MUCH CAN YOU AFFORD TO PAY YOUR STAFF? I have just returned from a short holiday in New South Wales, Australia. The ¿rst thing that hits you just a few hours or so after leaving Jakarta and Bali is the impressive and well-organised infrastructure, including the smooth exit through and from Sydney airport to the uncrowded open roads in immaculate condition, not to mention the disciplined driving. But it wasn’t long before other differences were obvious. Just going into a restaurant was a far cry from the experience in Jakarta or Bali. The prices, not surprisingly were generally higher although the portions were certainly larger. More striking was the small number of staff. The reason was very simple; staff in Australia (and in most western countries for that matter) are an expensive luxury. Since many expatriate readers in Bali run businesses I thought this would be an interesting topic to address instead of the more usual personal ¿nancial issues.

Comparing minimum wages The minimum wage in Australia is AUD 16.37 per hour, equivalent to around US$ 30,000 per annum. In Indonesia the minimum wage varies according to where you live. In Jakarta it is currently Rp.2,441,301 per month and in Bali Rp.1,542,600. The latter equates to Rp18,511,200 per annum or if we want to compare it with the rate in Australia it is close to US$1,600 per annum. In other words, labor costs in Australia are almost 19 times higher than in Bali.

Little wonder that Aussie and other western tourists are over the moon with the service they get in Bali.

How do Australia and Indonesia compare with other countries in terms of minimum wages? Below are some examples, also expressed in USD. The ¿gures are annual, rounded and broadly representative as there are regional variations in many countries but they do demonstrate the stark differences around the world: USA: $15,000 (Strong union pressure to increase this) Mexico: $1,500 (no wonder so many try to cross the border!)

UK: $15,000 India: $700 China: $2,500 Democratic Republic of the Congo: $500 Thailand: $3,000 Vietnam: $600 Malaysia: $3,000 North Korea: $900 Cuba: $100 In Cuba however, and in true communist tradition, the state heavily subsidises medical and housing costs and even food. No doubt North Koreans enjoy similar bene¿ts to compensate for their meagre salaries.

But minimum wages do not reÀect the full picture Anyone employing a large number of workers in Indonesia will be very much aware that basic wages are just a part of the total compensation package. There are also social security obligations, medical insurance, maternity pay and of course the extra month’s salary at Idul Fitri or Galungan.

But the real kick is the cost of actually terminating employees. At the time the Asian ¿nancial crisis broke in 1997 I became vice-chairman of a large sports club in Jakarta. The crisis forced many expatriates to leave the country and membership of the club was decimated. To cut costs it was clear that a large number of the club’s staff would have to be laid off. But I found that many of the staff

had been working at the club for over twenty years which meant they were entitled to at least twenty month’s salary on termination. I then discovered that there had never been any provision by the club to cover the cost of terminations. So the club could neither afford to keep the staff nor terminate them! Somehow, the club muddled through and survives today but it is a lesson for all employers that they must make provision in their accounts for future layoffs or retirements. It is not an unreasonable requirement since for many local employees the termination payment represents a pension that they have effectively earned. It would be much easier if employers could put the money directly into a true pension scheme for their workers on a monthly basis as would be the case in most western countries.

Over the years I have seen many cases where workers turn up on a Monday morning to ¿nd the factory gates locked and that the owners had disappeared. When this happens you can be sure there was no money left to pay the employees what they were legally entitled to so instead of facing the music the owners simply shut shop and did a runner. Invariably the workers then demonstrate outside the Manpower Ministry of¿ces but to no avail; there are no government funds available to compensate workers. So if you employ or are planning to employ local staff do make sure you make provision for the day they will leave your employment. If you employ them for life they will be looking to you to ensure they will have money for retirement.

Are minimum wages a good thing?

Certainly workers at the lower end of the scale will be happy to have the guarantee of a minimum wage. But when they and unions keep pressing for higher wages and more bene¿ts it can have a on damaging effect employment prospects in general, particularly when coupled with job protection measures, as we saw in the 60’s and 70’s in the UK during a period of disastrous industrial relations. I know a person who ran a furniture factory in Java and during a particularly good time for the business he said he would like to take on at least another 300 workers but he was afraid of the cost of trying to lay them off when business declined. In this respect the US has the right idea; workers understand better the workings of businesses and readily accept that downturns occur and when they do there is no point in trying to cling on to a job that doesn’t exist. An answer to the Àuctuating needs of businesses for workers could be addressed by contract labor but the unions have forced the government to outlaw them. Regrettably this does not translate into new permanent jobs as they would hope but instead no jobs at all.

But despite the added costs of employing staff, the overall cost of doing so is still far lower than it would be in western countries. The important thing is to include all the extras in your costing and make sure funds are put aside for the future. After all, your own pension fund is probably secure, so it is not unreasonable to ensure your employees have something to look forward to also.

HECTOR’S C/NS/U-11 June 14

Let’s Hear More from Her Nafsiah Mboi is a very impressive person. This is immediately obvious to anyone who hears her speak, reads what she says, or takes an interest in the febrile nature of global health challenges. As Indonesia’s health minister, she is the shining star of outgoing President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s cabinet, unarguably from the Diary’s perspective his best ministerial appointment. She was the star panellist too on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Àagship Q&A program on Monday, Aug. 21, on the topic of HIV/AIDS and held at the same time as the International AIDS Congress in Melbourne. Tweets to the show’s Twitter hashtag included this memorable one: “Can we have a health minister like that too?” Someone else suggested that incoming president Joko Widodo should reappoint her as health minister. Now that is a great idea. Indonesia’s congressional system makes it possible to appoint technocrats and academics to cabinet from outside the formal elective system.

Nafsiah Mboi is an academic, health researcher and Harvard graduate. She should indeed be continued in her appointment. Another stand-out performer on the Q&A panel was the eminent Australian jurist Michael Kirby, whose ¿nessed judicial mind and personal preferences made him ideal for the occasion. Kirby is a darling of the intellectual left in Australia. There’s nothing wrong with that, except for what’s wrong with the intellectual left in Australia, which these days has cornered the market in received wisdom and adopted the position that anyone who argues with it mad or bad or both. Kirby is certainly an activist jurist. He has not only said that judges make law, but he has also done the really hard yards in reinterpreting the Constitution to the embarrassment of various governments of the day.

But he’s not for turning on a point of judicial value. Q&A is moderated by the oppressively self-assertive Tony Jones.

On the program he expressed – with the trademark arched eyebrow, surprised look and dismissive wave of the hand favoured by those who know they know what everyone else should think – his view that it was somewhat strange that Kirby should have given a speech the day before praising Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop for increasing AIDS funding to Papua New Guinea when every other bit of the budget is being pared to the bone. Followers of Australian politics will know that Abbott has been declared beyond the Pale by those of the left.

Kirby skewered Jones, in less than 50 words, and showed with stark clarity why he (Kirby) is a judge and Jones is just an up-market shock-jock. It was delicious. It’s sad that Australia Network, which screens the must-watch Q&A among many other quality Australian programs to Indonesia and the region, will be going off the air in September because of another decision, a foolish one, of the Abbott government.

Apologies The last edition of The Diary didn’t appear. Those who might have felt disposed to cheer this outcome should cease their chatter now. It was an administrative error on the part of your diarist, who had as usual been belting along full-pelt, as he has always done, oblivious to the natural processes of aging (including acquisition of common sense) and in complete ignorance of the great big wall he was about to hit. The Eagles’ Life in the Fast Lane has always been the Diary’s addiction, especially this little stanza: She said, “Listen, baby. You can hear the engine ring. We’ve been up and down this highway; haven’t seen a goddam thing.”

hospital system got us (and a bitterly twisted gut) out of the wreck and reconnected the circuitry. A painful lesson has been learned. All life forms are ¿nite. At some point, you have to slow down.

Jazz and All That John Daniels of Bali Discovery Tours and Bali Update sent us a cheery get-well note when he heard of our circumstances. It’s always nice to get a note from Jack. And nice in this instance to note in turn a recent item in his Update that refers to Ubud, which love for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes we even love it for its traf¿c, though its range of cuisines generally wins the vote, when we ¿nally make it to the restaurant. It’s good for jazz too, as Jack notes. This will be demonstrated again at the 2014 Ubud Jazz Festival on Aug. 8-9. This year’s theme is “Awakening Indonesia” and headline national and international performers will take the stage.

Scheduled to appear are Gilad Hekselman Trio (USA), Dian Pratiwi and Uwe Plath (Germany), Astrid Sulaiman and Yuri Mahatma Trio (Bali), Balawan BID Trio, Rio Sidik, The GAPPProject Feat Dave Barlow (Australia- Indonesia), Dwiki Dharmawan (Indonesia), Erica Tucceri (Australia (Bali), Ben van den Dungen Quartet (Holland), Deborah Carter (Holland), Endo Seiji (Japan) and Chika Asamoto (Japan-Bali). There’s also an educational element, presented in cooperation with The Dutch Jazz Summer School form South Korea. The six-day “Jazz Camp” running Aug.3-8 offers six study courses including guitar, drum, piano, double bass, vocal and wind instruments with special focus sessions on music theory and jam session performance.

So Long

C/Ns/I-30 April 14

The West Australian trip had been timed to meet some family needs which need not concern us here. But there was one feasible element, not expected in the timeframe but judged a possibility, that required suit, black shoes and army tie to make the trip too. We’d been friendly acquaintances for the long time with a chap for no reason other than the fact that life’s little pathways, rivulets and occasional landslides carry you where they will. We had nothing in common, fundamentally. He was from country WA, which is about as far as you can get from the Diary’s bricks and mortar and pleasant parklands. He’d long ago given up trying to get us to go on ¿shing trips or home-brew expeditions, or down the pool hall every Tuesday afternoon.

We had settled into a pleasant communion of ruminative breakfasts on our infrequent co-locations. He made a good cuppa. He could never understand why a round of toast and marmalade could possibly be better than a plate piled with the dead remains of former beasts removed with great energy and enthusiasm from one or other of the many freezers.

But we chatted amiably in the earlier portions of the mornings, now and then, in the calm before the daily ceremony of the Risings of the Distaffs (and the chores that inevitably followed) and we muddled along.

C/NS/U-19 Feb. 14

He had one thing in common with my father, though the code of football was different. If my dad had been on the ¿eld every time the Scottish rugby side ran on, they’d have won every game. My chum’s fun was found in Australian football.

The West Coast Eagles would have found similar game success if he’d been on the oval rucking, marking, kicking sixpointers, spoiling tackles and taking miraculous long marks right in front of the goal posts. He was 80 and had been a national serviceman. He deserved a salute at his last parade.

Fate dictated that he leave the ¿eld while I was indisposed and unable to be present. I’m sad about that. So long, Mal. Catch you for a cuppa sometime.

He said, “Call the doctor. I think I’m gonna crash.”

On a West Australian sabbatical, a visit back to the other home, we crashed. That is, in the metaphorical sense. But fortunately the splendid intervention of the West Australian

KITESURFING NEWS

The 2014 edition of HOTAIR! was recently in front of Prama Hotel (ex Sanur Beach). Founded and organized by Rodney Holt with Mario Bari, now in its 9th year, the only Kite surfing competition in Bali. Presented by Bali Sports Foundation using the excellent facilities of Ripcurl School of Surf as launching pad, HOTAIR kicked off on Friday 11th July.

However the winds did not cooperate, so it was a slow start, however by Sunday most events had been run, with the exception of the iconic Jump for Chilli. However that did not dampen the enjoyment of the HOTAIR prize presentation at Prama’s newly refurbished Bamboo Bar on the beach.

Simon Hor Horn Memorial Prize Best Overall 1. Komang TENNIS NEWS Once again Indonesian sports bureaucracy lets down one of it’s most promising athletes.Tami Grende, 17, Balinese born and bred, the daughter of a Balinese mother and Italian father, whose rise from junior in Bali to international success, with most recently Tami’s girls (Junior) doubles win in Wimbledon.

The win was followed by an invitation from International Tennis Federation, for Tami to compete in the US Open junior competition from Aug. 25 to Sept. 8. But as the Jakarta Globe

reports “ the invitation is as far as Tami’s dream seems destined to go, thanks to a legal wrangle raised by her money-grubbing local club and the impotence of the national tennis association to look past the problem for the benefit of the young star’s development”.

C/Ns/G-9 Sept. 09

As it stands in order to play at the Grand Slam event, Tami needs to submit a letter of endorsement from the Indonesia Tennis Association (Pelti), However, the association has refused to issue the letter pending the resolution of a legal spat that has seen Tami’s former club, Sportama, threaten to sue the young player for $50,000 for alleged breach of contract.

This will lead to not only Tami missing the US Open, the dispute with the club has also led to Pelti leaving Tami out of the national team for the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing next month. As Tami points out the issues are completely separate, however Pelti, the national sports organization seems to be following the direction of a private club, a private club that seems to be only interested in Tami now that she is relatively successful, and interested not to help promote her career but to try and extract money out of her and her family. Sound familiar.

NC/Ns/G - 27 July 11

Back in the beginning of Tami’s career, due to the lack of sponsorship in Bali, Tami and her father/coach Olivier had look off shore to Java,and found sponsorship to enable Tami to pursue her dream of success on the tennis court.

Now this sponsorship seems to have many strings attached to it, so much so that it inhibiting rather than helping Tami’s career. Most observers, even casual ones can not help but notice Indonesia’s singular lack of success in international sport, not withstanding having a population base of 250 million people. Tami’s case illustrate’s the core issue that the various Indonesian sports departments interest lies more with the bureaucrat’s interest usually pecuniary rather than promoting and assisting Indonesian athletes achieve success.

Some have suggested Tami move to another country, in this case Italy, with its superior sporting structures, sadly for Indonesian sports fans, this a path taken by other elite Indonesian athletes, for example a number of shuttlers who have moved to Singapore and elsewhere to play, because of the continued lack of support in Indonesia.
