A 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck off Indonesia on Tuesday
With a depth of 588 kilometers (365 miles)
the epicenter of earthquake was in Banda Sea
some 262 kilometers (162.7 miles) off Baubau city of southeastern Sulawesi province
There was no immediate report of losses or tsunami warning
Indonesia experiences frequent earthquakes as it is located on the Pacific "Ring of Fire," a tectonic belt of volcanoes and earthquakes
A magnitude 6.2 quake jolted Sulawesi island in January 2021
killing over 100 people and leaving thousands homeless
Some 2,200 people were killed after a separate magnitude 7.5 quake and subsequent tsunami in 2018

The Tuscan fish dish called cacciucco is no longer a frugal stew made with scraps from the fish market in Livorno
the new 30-seat Italian restaurant that Mount Eliza locals can’t stop talking about
the cacciucco is a careful composition of first-rate blue-eye cod

Tortellini in brodo.Bonnie SavageAdvertisementThis lovely seafood main course speaks to the Bau Bau project: regional Italian classics reworked into elevated restaurant dishes
Mathew Guthrie and Clinton Trevisi along with Bau Bau head chef Dan Lidgard offers a fixed-price

It also suppliesvegetarian restaurant Patsy’s

tortellini in brodo is a Christmas dish of tiny pasta parcels in meaty broth

I’m not sure why you wouldn’t bake a smaller tart and serve the whole thing

Even if you’re a regular, it’s impossible to get bored here. Produce comes from the owners’market garden near Daylesford, prompting a menu rewrite every couple of weeks. Fixed-price but with four or five choices for each course, it’s a capsule of reworked regional Italian dishes.
Cacciucco, the Tuscan fish stew that makes the most of scraps, is reborn with first-rate blue-eye cod, clams and sweet prawns in a concentrated tomato-tinged sauce. Veal shin slow-cooked in sangiovese is served over buttery white polenta – undeniable comfort food taken up a notch by a shaving of truffle.
Other tweaks are subtle. The thumbnail-sized dumplings of a classic tortellini in brodo are upgraded to five large tortellini, half-submerged in a clear, herbaceous chicken soup. There’s no mistaking the design vision, though, where International Klein Blue meets steel and linen. Bold and beautiful.

The Cia-Cia language, spoken by about 80,000 people in south-east Sulawesi, didn't have its own written form.
Being a syllable-based language, it presented challenges in adapting to the Latin alphabet, the predominant script used for Indonesia's official language.
Hangul, the Korean alphabetic system, was introduced after a cultural exchange between Baubau and Korean scholars in 2009. Teachers and students were even sent to South Korea to learn the script.
Abidin is one of the pioneers. He spent six months in South Korea for training and has even penned a dictionary for it.
"In Latin words, for instance, there's no agreed way to pronounce the sounds 'pha' or 'ta'. But after I learned Korean, it turns out there are Korean characters for the sounds," he said.
In ancient times, community leaders tried to preserve the language on paper and wood.
But the symbols were neither standardised nor passed down, so they slowly disappeared.
"If we can write it down, the language can be documented so we will have writings to preserve it that can be learnt from time to time. Had we only had the language verbally, we would totally lose it. Even now, there are already so many forgotten original Cia-Cia words," said Abidin.
Fears about their language’s future prompted elders to accept the use of Korean Hangul script.
"Many words have been lost due to the influence of Indonesian and other regional languages. This has been happening for about 20 years," Ilyas, a 50-year-old local elder, said.
"Language contains memories, history, morality, and wisdom of our ancestors. A language script is a legacy."
Today, Cia-Cia script in Hangul can be seen on road signs and government institutions across Baubau.
Some in the city have expressed nationalist concerns over the use of a foreign alphabet. But others argue the international mix could benefit the preservation process.
“As we move to the modern age, today’s generations may forget the Cia-Cia language. However, we can use Korean letters thanks to the cooperation with South Korea. So we hope in the future the Cia-Cia language will remain preserved,” Ilyas said.
Indonesia ranks as the world's second-most linguistically diverse nation with more than 700 languages spoken in the vast archipelago country, according to UNESCO.
The country’s official language is Bahasa Indonesia, which uses Latin letters in its written form.
Amirul Tamim, also a key figure in the adoption of Hangul, believes this initiative has brought new attention and respect to his people.
"This means that Indonesian cultures in different regions across the country are resilient. So we should not prevent ourselves from accepting the use of foreign cultures," he said.
For Sarianto, who was among the students who learned Hangul in South Korea, the script has "sparked the creation of new discourses dedicated to the preservation of the Cia-Cia language".
"Before the introduction of Hangul, many of Cia-Cia people used to feel a bit hesitant about using the local language in formal settings," he said.
"However, with the implementation of Hangul, people say our Cia-Cia language has become global."

BAUBAU — In an eastern Indonesian village
schoolchildren scrawl the distinctive circles and lines of Hangul script on a whiteboard
but the language they are learning is not Korean
The language of the Cia-Cia ethnic group in southeast Sulawesi province's Baubau has no written form
and the syllable-based tongue does not readily translate to the Latin alphabet often used to transcribe Indonesia's national language
shares a syllable-based system that has made it an unusual tool in the effort to preserve and transmit the language of the approximately 80,000 Cia-Cia people
there's no agreed way to pronounce the sounds 'pha' or 'ta'
it turns out there are Korean characters for the sounds," 48-year-old teacher Abidin
Indonesia is a vast archipelago nation with myriad tribes and cultures that boasts more than 700 unique languages
making it one of the most linguistically diverse nations in the world
The country's official language is Bahasa Indonesia
which owes its standard written form using Latin letters to Dutch colonial rule
But the Cia-Cia's language had no surviving written form until 2009
when Hangul was introduced after a cultural exchange between Baubau city and Korean scholars
The decision was the outcome of a concerted push by South Korean linguists
who visited to tout Hangul's sound-based system as the perfect fit
the city sent teachers and students to South Korea to learn Hangul with the goal of developing a standard way to write and teach their language
leaders of the community committed the language to scraps of paper and wood using non-standard symbols that were never passed down and withered away
But now Cia-Cia names dot the city's schools
The tongue is also taught to students from elementary to high school using Hangul symbols
though it remains largely a spoken rather than written language
Mr Abidin spent six months in South Korea training on Hangul
and is seen as a pioneer of transcribing Cia-Cia in the script
He has even penned a dictionary for the language using Hangul
Hangul is viewed with great pride in South Korea
where it was once banned under Japanese rule
and word of the script's role in Indonesia has been hailed by some politicians and newspapers as proof of the writing system's global presence
Its adoption by the Cia-Cia illustrated a fierce desire to preserve their language
said linguist Dalan Mehuli Perangin-angin at Indonesia's Sanata Dharma University.
"This shows that there is a longing from the people for their own script," he said
Even the spoken form of Cia-Cia faces pressure from the dominance of Bahasa Indonesia and other regional languages
"Many words have been lost due to the influence of Indonesian and other regional languages
This has been happening for about 20 years," the 50-year-old said
Fears about their language's future prompted elders to accept the use of Hangul
Baubau is the only place in Indonesia to use Hangul
and while the South Korean push for the script is not backed by Seoul
its nationalist tint could blur the community's identity
He suggests the Cia-Cia could have adopted a script already used by another dialect in Sulawesi
which would have had closer linguistic links

Jakarta - Blue sky and warm sunlight filled the air of Bau-Bau
I chose to open the car window during my trip heading to Buton Regency to breathe the fresh air
spoiling the eyes with its beautiful scenery
After stopped by at Buton administration office
we headed back to Bau-Bau to take some friends for their Friday prayer at the Agung Wolio Mosque in the complex of Buton Sultanate Palace
but a high pole at the side of the building caught my eye
The pole was used to raise the royal flags; yellow
It was also used to hang convict under Islamic law
the mosque was kept cool even without air conditioner
While waiting for my friends to do their prayer
The fortress which was built in the 16th century is a must-see historical tourism site in Bau-Bau
the Sultan of Buton III who ruled during 1591 to 1596
A nice and tidy arrangement of lime stones circled around the fortress
Each gate was named according to the degree of the gate keeper
Some made of stones while the others are combination of stone and wood
I enjoyed the tidy and clean scenery of Bau-bau city and the blue Banda Sea
I also took a picture of Makassar Island from the tower
A friend told me that Makassar was inhabited by the soldiers of Sultan Hasanuddin (the conqueror of Sulawesi in the past) who were afraid to go back to their emperor because they failed to find someone named Arung Palakka
or 'The conqueror'. There was a cave in the city which was believed to be Arung Palakka's hideout
The cave was called Liana Latoondu – the cave of Arung Palakka
you can also go to Nambo forest in Lasalimu district
to see endemic animals such as Sulawesi bear Cuscus (Ailurops ursinus) and Talaud bear Cuscus (Ailurops melanotis)

A Perth couple are opening an Italian osteria after finding a “gap in the market” for a venue that combines food
Neil McCulloch and Francesca Tata met at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee in 2021
their dream is set to become a reality next month with the opening of Osteria Bau Bau in Perth city centre
The cafe and gallery – described as a “hip
and cultural hub” – will be located on St John’s Place
with an expected launch by the end of March
is originally from near Venice and is passionate about introducing a traditional Venetian osteria to Perth
“An osteria is a typical Venetian-style bar that opens from breakfast until evening,” she told The Courier
good wine and a small selection of simple food and drinks
“We’re going to specialise in spritz
which the couple believes originated in Francesca’s home province in Italy
“There’s nothing like this in Perth,” she added
“While there are already some Italian-inspired businesses
we are going to focus on the Veneto region
and propose food that you cannot find anywhere else.”
Neil and Francesca are both artists and have spent the past year running successful workshops at the city’s Craft Beer Bottle Shop
The pair will continue their life drawing classes once a week at Osteria Bau Bau
with plans to expand and invite other artists to run workshops and talks
promote and organise exhibitions and do an opening night which are always really popular,” Neil said
“Our hub will be another good way of getting people in and for artists to network
but it’s open for everybody – you don’t necessarily need to be into art to come along.”
The couple’s first exhibition will feature the work of Frances Ryan
with the official opening planned to coincide with the display
Neil and Francesca believe Perth is primed for a multifunctional venue combining food
“We’ve spoken with students at Perth College and there’s definitely a need for a space like this,” they said
The pair say they will also like to hold book talks
The opening hours will be Wednesday to Sunday
Elsewhere in Perthshire, an Indian restaurant in Blairgowrie is gearing up to open next week

bold splashes of colour and fiercely regional Italian cooking
this is a jolt of excitement for Mornington Peninsula dining
ShareWhen the crew from Donna Maria shut the doors on their Flinders restaurant later this month
their next venture Bau Bau is ready to spring to life
bringing a slightly different tempo of Italian dining to the Mornington Peninsula
By default, the new 30-seater is more intimate than Donna Maria’s 80 seats. Owners Mathew Guthrie, Clinton Trevisi and James Langley (also behind Bistro Elba and Patsy’s) are happily embracing that with a more refined menu of regional Italian dishes

Randeep Hooda and Baubau.com’s Malaika Fernandez urge people to not follow fads of adopting exotic breeds as Channing Tatum’s ‘Dog’ nears theatrical release
Recently with the release of the Channing Tatum starrer DOG in the USA the film distributors rejoiced because the film did great business and after Covid-19 it’s the best sign for the film industry but there was a cause for alarm amongst the dog lover communities across the world and its echoes have been heard in India too
They were worried people will rush to buy Belgian Malinois
a hunter dog that needs tremendous amount of socializing and training to become a family dog
The pet lover communities cautioned about people who get inspired to get a dog after watching a film depicting a heartwarming man-dog relationship
They often get small pups home without research about the dog and their training and habitat requirements which leads to a lot of dog abandonment and trauma for the pets
several people have opted for huskies as pets which are not at all suitable for our hot and humid Indian climate
RECOMMENDED READ: The Lost City trailer: Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum and Brad Pitt bring a hilarious adventure comedy as they fend off a maniacal Daniel Radcliffe
"A dog is not just a cute puppy you get to play around with for some time and then abandon or neglect it
They are as much a responsibility as the joy they give
What dog you get is totally your choice but one must understand that certain breeds are for a certain climate like St Bernard’s or huskies
Also the size of the dog can be determined by the space you have
In my opinion our desi Mongrel street dogs are best suited for the climate where ever you are and the easiest to look after
They truly are man’s best friend."
A post shared by Randeep Hooda (@randeephooda)
Adding to this Malaika Fernandes of Baubau.com
“A few years ago there was an advertisement with a boxer breed dog (pug) and a baby and a large number of Indians went and bought boxer breed dogs not realising the tremendous health problems that accompany the dog in Indian climate
It led to many abandoning the distraught and traumatized pets or sending them to shelters which also scares the pets and leads to anxiety issues in the animal." She further adds there needs to be diligent research about the dog before people adopt dogs as pets
Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin who are both making their respective feature directorial debuts with DOG spoke about the film in a statement that reads
“DOG is also a joyful celebration of the friendships we’ve both had with our dogs
and the great road trips we’ve had with each other
In our spare time we’re usually jumping in a truck to find strange and beautiful places and strange and beautiful people
and if not we’re probably watching our favourite classic road movies
DOG is a love letter to our experiences on the road and the films that inspired us to make movies
but we hope it’s also a movie with genuine heart and humour that everyone can enjoy from start to finish
Dog starring Channing Tatum will release in India on March 11

In an eastern Indonesian village, children are learning to write in a script that is not their own. They’re using Hangul, the Korean alphabet, to write in their native Cia-Cia language. This unique initiative is taking place in the Baubau city of Southeast Sulawesi province, where the Cia-Cia, an ethnic group without a written form for their language, are finding a new way to preserve their linguistic heritage.
Participants in traditional Korean attire holds signs using the Korean Hangul script. | Japan Times The Cia-Cia language, spoken by about 80,000 people, lacked a standardized written form. Its syllable-based structure didn’t easily adapt to the Latin alphabet, which is widely used for transcribing Indonesia’s national language, Bahasa Indonesia. This linguistic challenge posed a significant risk to the survival of the Cia-Cia language.
Cia Cia language. | Dailymotion The solution emerged in an unlikely form: Hangul, the Korean alphabet. Developed in the 15th century, Hangul’s syllable-based system proved to be an effective tool for transcribing the Cia-Cia language. This script’s adoption began in 2009, following a cultural exchange between Baubau city and Korean scholars.
| SCMP To facilitate this linguistic transition, Baubau city sent teachers and students to South Korea to learn Hangul. Their goal was to develop a standardized method to write and teach the Cia-Cia language. One of these pioneers, a teacher named Abidin, spent six months in South Korea and has since created a Hangul-based dictionary for Cia-Cia.
| Yahoo News UK This initiative has breathed new life into the Cia-Cia language. Hangul is now used to teach students from elementary to high school, and Cia-Cia names and words are increasingly visible throughout the city. While still primarily spoken, the language’s written form in Hangul is a symbol of cultural pride and preservation.
| Medium Despite its success, the use of Hangul in Baubau has raised concerns. Linguists and community elders worry about the potential loss of cultural identity and the script’s foreign origin. There are suggestions that a script used by another Sulawesi dialect could have been a more linguistically appropriate choice.
| Vecteezy Nevertheless, the use of Hangul has highlighted the versatility and global influence of the Korean script. In South Korea, where Hangul is a source of national pride, this development has been positively received.
