projections for tourist arrivals in 2014 saying they were made ceteris apribus or on the understanding “all other things being equal or held constant.” Subhisku, as t h e h e a d provincial tourism office for Bali, said maintaining security and peace on the island is a main pre-condition to growing arrivals. He also pointed out that the improved infrastructure in Bali is now more supportive to the hosting of major meetings and conferences.

BALI THE RIGHT WAY Gday again punters and I trust you had a very merry Christmas. I was lucky enough to have had a great day with many friends and family flying up to help celebrate the day. Many drinks and a bloody great feed was had by all and not one person got thrown in the pool. Thanks to everyone involved for making the day such a great one.

They say the season is about giving and we generally do give presents to our friends and family, but for one busy expat it has been taken to the next aliasj@kutaweekly.com level. For the holidays he had been planning a trip back home to visit some friendswith his family, as you do, and had all the tickets booked and bags packed and thought it best to go to the bank and get a few quid out for the run. He explainedthat he had a few things that needed paying before he left the next day so he got out enough cash to square the ledger, leaving him enough spending money for the rest of his trip. He withdrew $14,000 Aussie dollars which was given to him in an envelope. The envelope was stuffed in his pocket safely and the day proceeded with our fumbling friend landing with us all at the corner having a few green ones and a yarn for a few hours (lots of hours) and when the session had finished he has decided that a maccas burger on the way home was a good idea, which is what he did. So here our mate sits in the car ordering at the drive through window, trying to squeeze his hand into his pocket to get some coin, inadvertantly emptying his pocket contents onto the seat next to him to get the cash to pay the window assistant for the feed. All is good and well. Get ready guts, here it comes. As is usual he doesn't like to rock up home and eat the, apparently, as far as his wife is concerned, unhealthy snack at such a late hour, so he has stopped along the way, sat in the car and gourged through two burgers, fries and six chicken nuggets slurping it all down with a big coke. Now as anyone who eats the stuff knows they give you enough tomato sauce and chilli packets to open a small shop along with paper napkins and individual bags for each order which generally amounts to a swag of rubbish in the car, so punters our slightly pissed old mate has decided to clean the evidence from the car and collects all the rubbish from the passengers seat and deposited in the bin next to the car. He explainedthat he even used a napkin to wipe the seat clean and continued on his way home. The night was as usual, stumbling upstairs, shower and crashed in the aircon. The next morning he has woken and had a coffee with the wife and sudenlly thought…..F@*K what did I do with that coin ?? He has gone upstairs and checked his short pockets in the dirty clothes bin, no cash here, then ripped downstairs and checked the cars glovebox, no cash here, then suddenly remmebered about his convert maccas feast on the way home. With this memory recollection he has, in a slight panic, gone back inside and thrown on a shirt then gone back out to the car and driven back to the bin in which he dumped the fast food wrappers and guess what ?? Absolutely fu#@kall in there….. I don't think I need to continue the story as Im sure you all know the cash was gone and Id say the old rubbish man is probably going to have a very merry Christmas.

The moral to the story and to try and get something positive from the episode is that when they say fast food is expensive up here they really are right, and when the Christmas carol says “Good Tidings We Bring To You And Your Kin” it really has been a great Christmas for the rubbish man and his Kin. Ok folks I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas and we look forward to seeing you in the new year. There will be many new additions to the paper in 2014 with a few surprises in stall for a few people. I hope you all enjoyed the paper in 2013 as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you every week.

Taking Tourism Promotion for Granted Lack of Government Funding Support for the Promotion Destines Bali Tourism Growth to be Stunted The Bali Tourism Agency official in charge of promotions, Nyoman Wardawan, is complaining that the Rp. 1 billion (US$83,200) allocated from the provincial budget for tourism promotion in 2014 is “too little.” As quoted by Bali Daily (The Jakarta Post), Wardawan said: ? ? “The amount is similar to that in 2013, and we consider this small considering that tourism is Bali's economic backbone. To sustain the economy, or even improve it, we need more funds to promote tourism.” Wardawan says the money allocated isinsufficient to meet the Government's desire to increase tourist numbers through the use of creative and innovative promotional activities. With the limited funds in hand, the provincial tourism agency said delegations would join the annual ITB tourism Exhibition in Berlin and the

World Travel Mart in London. If additional funding can be secured during the course of the coming fiscal year, promotion might also be undertaken to other markets including Japan, India and China. Meanwhile, what funding, if any, will be made available for the Bali Tourism Promotion Board (BPPD) remains unclear. The head of BPPD, Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardhana Sukawati, claims he has received no

confirmation of what funds will be made available, saying: ? ? “We have proposed funds [for programs], but there's been no clarity. In fact, the law stipulates that the board was established by the government and we are entitled to funds from the central and regional budgets.” Tjokorda said that the newly formed BPPD would like to focus on promoting Bali tourism to new travelers and promoting MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions), sports, leisure, silver (retirees) and creative tourism. The BPPD has requested a minimum budget of Rp. 59 billion to operate in 2014. Separately, the head of the Indonesian Tourism Promotion Board (BPPI), Wiryanti Sukamdani, says that at least US$10 is needed in promotional funding to lure one foreign visitor Indonesia.

PROPERTY OWNERSHIP IN INDONESIA As a foreigner, there is a number of ways that can lead to you owning your dream property in Bali. The best option for you will depend on your personal situation, the type of property, risk factors and the type of investment model. Even though it states in Indonesian law that foreigners are not allowed to hold a 'freehold' land title, there are ways that have been in practice for a number of years that enable foreigners to control a freehold title indirectly or to hold a leasehold title in their own name.

RIGHT OF USE (HAK PAKAI) This is the right of use over state-owned (crown land) or property owned by public or private persons/entities for a specific purpose for (generally) a finite period and occasionally for an indefinite period. This land right may not be sold, exchanged or transferred unless explicitly state in an agreement. Hak pakai may be held by and Indonesian individual or entity. Or foreigner permanently domiciled in

Indonesia, or a foreign legal entity with a representative office in Indonesia such as foreign Banks, embassies, etc.

NOMINEE SYSTEM FOR HAK MILIK This structure is a regularly practiced procedure in Indonesia, whereby the foreigner nominates and Indonesian representative to acquire the land and to hold the 'freehold' title (Hak Milik) on behalf of the foreigner. Ownership of the land is transferred from the previous owner to the Indonesian nominee. The foreigner and the Indonesian nominee then sign an agreement which recognizes the Indonesian nominee as the legal owner of the property whilst declaring the foreigner as the rightful owner of the property. This agreement denotes that the Indonesian nominee will carry out any directives from the foreigner regarding the land. This agreement must always be concluded in the presence of a public notary.

Bali Officials Admit Bali Won't be Rabies-Free before 2015 The Jakarta Post (Bali Daily) reports that Bali has pushed back its target for once again being rabies free from 2012 to 2015. The reemergence of rabies cases in several areas of Bali in 2013 meant efforts to completely eradicate the disease have failed. A human casualty in September 2013 has also called into question the effectiveness of the government's free vaccine program intended to protect those living on the island from dying from rabies bites. The September 2013 fatality was the first confirmed human case of rabies since the previous July. Dr. Ketut Suarjaya, the head of the Bali Health Agency explained: “Bali can only declare itself rabiesfree if there is no single case of rabies in humans or animals within a two-year period.”

26 Dec 2013 - 1 Jan 2014 (368)

Cases of rabies among Bali's dog population are still reported in the regencies of Gianyar, Bangli and Buleleng. Health authorities still report an average 100 dog bite reports per day, down from the average 130 reported each day in 2012. The Bali Post states that the stock of anti-rabies vaccine (VAR) for humans bitten by animals suspected of rabies is currently very low. Bali's Sanglah General Hospital is reportedly out of VAR stock and only treating bite victims by cleaning their wounds. Patients, promised free VAR by the government, are now being told they must purchase lifesaving and expensive VAR from a nearby drug store. T h e lack of VAR at the at Sanglah General Hospital and Udayana University Hospital

– two of Bali's largest medical centers - is happening at the same time that Dr. Ketut Suarjaya insists Bali still has a remaining stock of 9,000 vials of VAR. Suarjaya also says an additional 41,00 vials of VAR will arrive in Bali before the New Year. In the meantime, those bitten by stray dogs are told to wash their bite wounds, seek a supply of free VAR from a local health center that still holds a stock, try to observe the attack dog for two weeks to see if it shows signs of a rabies infection or purchase VAR from a

commercial pharmacy. www.balidiscovery.com

One day, while taking a stroll, she came upon a gentleman neighbour. He had the most beautiful garden full of huge red tomatoes. The woman asked the gentleman, "What do you do to get your tomatoes so red ?" The man responded, "Well, twice a day I stand in front of my tomato garden, naked in my trench coat and flash them. My tomatoes turn red from blushing so much." The woman was so impressed she decided to try doing the same thing to her tomato garden to see if it would work. So twice a day for two weeks she flashed her garden hoping for the best. One day the gentleman was passing by and asked the woman, "By the way, how did you make out, did your tomatoes turn red ?

India police extra vigilant India n polic e have arrested eight people after the hands of two labourers were chopped off in a dispute over money, an officer said, with the victims in s e r i o u s condition in hospital. Two labourers were admitted to a hospital in remote and impoverished Kalahandi district of Orissa state last week after they were discovered bleeding with their hands chopped off, the officer said. Police arrested and charged eight people over the gruesome incident allegedly carried out as punishment after the labourers fled with an advance on their w a g e s , superintendentSarthakSarangi from Kalahandi district said. "We have solved the case by identifying and arresting five contractors and three middlemen. We are now keeping a vigil for

other cases," Sarangi said. The eight have been charged with a range of offences including attempted murder, extortion and confinement he said. The pair were among 12 labourers who fled with their advance after initially agreeing to travel with the contractors to neighbouring Andhra Pradesh state to work at a brick kiln, only to learn they were being taken to Chhattisgarh state, police have said. The two labourers, who were each given Rs 12,000 ($193) in wages, were tracked down and attacked, while most

were still in hiding, Sarangi said. "There is still apprehension and only two of the 10 who e s c a p e d t h e contractors before the attack have come back to their villages," he said. The pair who lost their hands were still in a serious condition and will remain in hospital for another week, a senior investigating officer in the case said. Thousands of men, women and sometimes children from poor and underdeveloped areas of India flock to neighbouring states and urban areas to work in industries such as brick kilns, construction and farming. Many end up in the homes of middle-class families as servants. Activists say exploitation of migrant labourers is common, including low wages and poor conditions, although torture of this kind is extreme.

The union leader's statements were made at the Jakarta Legal Aid Office (LBH) on Saturday, December 14, 2013. He said workers in Java and Bali were prepared to go on strike. Ahmad also told how East Kalimantan once undertook a “Black Day” for 10 minutes that caused a total shutdown. Ahmad went on to explain that the planned action is not sabotage, but the result of needed work procedures that have not been performed. Continuing to underline his threat, he said: “PLN has 700,000 outsourced workers. Imagine if they refuse to work. There will be no need to shut down the power, it will shut down on its own.” Ahamd explained that the planned “Black Day” is a last ditch effort if demands are not met in negotiations being held in the run up to New Years. The workers assigned to State-Owned Companies are demanding that the President issue an order in accordance with the recommendations of the Parliamentary Working Committee on Outsourcing and Labor for State-Owned Company. The workers are also calling on the government to dismiss the Minister for State Owned Enterprises, Dahlan Iskan, and for the House of Representatives (DPR) to form a special legislative committee on outsourcing. www.balidiscovery.com

Keeping the Plot Swiss Charity Given Grant to Bali Children's Project to Teach the Value of A g r i c u l t u r a l Sustainability Citizens Of Our World (COOW) – a Geneva, Switzerlandbased non-profit association has award the Bali Children's Project (BCP) a US$2,000 grant to reeducate Balinese kids and their families on the importance and joys of agriculture. BCP's winning proposal was to build an organic, traditional and sustainable teaching garden in the village of K e m b e n g a n i n Tu l i k u p , Gianyar. The resulting garden is used to educate local Balinese youth in the heritage of medicinal plants by creating a rich and varied organic garden producing herbs and edible plants. A major aim of the garden is to help sustain the Balinese tradition of healing with natural herbal remedies that has been studied and practice through centuries but is now under threat from modernization. Bali is a traditional agricultural society, but due to the pressures of modern tourism and changing land use, Balinese youth are forgetting how to grow the plants that once sustained their diets and provided the ingredients for traditional healing arts. The COOW funding supports a Balinese gardening expert who will teach the children not only the use of the

herbs for medicine, but also how to garden organically. The project will start with a 2 ARE (200 square meters) plot, but with expansion planned to adjoining land is available. The funds provided by COOW, are helping to establish pilot small traditional gardens tended by those assisted by the Bali Children's Project. Demonstrating the value of farming, the produce from these small gardens is often sold, teaching in the process a valuable lesson in sustainability. As a consequence of the pilot project in Tulikup, BCP staff, in cooperation with experts from Bali ROLE Foundation, is now also creating a small prototype garden at a kindergarten in Tegallalang, near Ubud. A larger garden is also planned to be cultivated in January in Tulikup, multiplying the many benefits of the initial funding provided by COOW. The Bali project is turning formally unproductive garden plots into “living drug stores” (Apotik Hidup) with plans that are put to productive ends. Tourists visiting the Bali Children's Project are shown

the plots by the young agriculturalists who share their excitement and knowledge acquired by the enthusiastic kids. Citizens of the World Citizen Of Our World (COOW) was founded in 2009 to allow people around the world the chance to contribute to the well being of the most disadvantaged people through small, transparent and well-documented projects. Those contributing funds are also allowed to actively vote in selecting the recipients of grants that must, as a matter of eligibility, use 90% of the donated funds for actual project work. The U.N. Millennium Goals for the planet reflect the values and aspirations of COOW. Bali Children's Project Bali Children's Project (BCP) is a tax-exempt nonprofit charitable foundation that has been helping children in Bali for nearly two decades. Using education as a means of improving the lives of disadvantaged young people in Bali. BCP empowers children to realize their potential while learning how to enrich their lives and their villages. Focusing on girls as a means of breaking the cycle of poverty, BCP programs include sponsorship of individual children, classroom support, teacher training, workshops and classes for Sex Ed and HIV-AIDS awareness and health.

Makeover Miracles

26 Dec 2013 - 1 Jan 2014 Libra Sep 24 - Oct 23 The path of true love is a bumpy and winding one and whilst not every Libran will be embarking upon a new relationship or trying to salvage what's left of one, the sky insists that an arrangement with someone whom you are committed to in some way is likely to become a source of tension and frustration. The cosmic climate is building into an explosive one for everyone but a certain level of protection is available to you now to help ensure you're removed from certain firing lines. Stick to the Libran motto of 'peace at any cost' as best you're able and you'll be fine.

Taurus Apr 21 - May 21 If we're driving any distance, we needn't always be concerned when we experience a bit of rain. It's an unwelcome development but we're equipped to deal with it. Inclement weather might even slow us down slightly but slowing down usually has more to do with others than it does ourselves. You're entering a period that might require you to slow a process down slightly but it's important you don't see this as a need to stop altogether. You're well equipped to deal with the reasons and must trust that clouds will part soon enough and you'll soon gain momentum again. Gemini May 22 - Jun 22 Do you feel inclined to admit you were wrong about something or someone? Before you answer that question, think for a moment about where you were with a process or individual back in October and where you're at with them now. Has there not been some progress made? Have you not had reason recently to feel that something is moving in the right direction, just slower than you wish it was? Don't be too quick to believe you've backed a losing horse, you have not. Impatience could be blinkering your judgment but a development this week might put that into perspective.

Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 22 Your ruling planet, Pluto, remains an essential component in astrology despite being relegated a few years ago by those who dismissed it as an 'ice body' and not a planet. It's definitely integral to much happening in the sky as we speak. You appear to be embarking upon a process of revelation, something is coming to light that has been ignored or swept under a proverbial carpet for too long. What comes to light at this time might not be all sweetness and roses but knowledge is, as they say, power. You're about to be in a stronger position through knowing something. Sagittarius Nov 23 - Dec 21 Opportunities like to be seized. They believe that, having made effort to make themselves available, there ought to be little or no point on our part to delay things. What opportunities don't understand is how hidden they can be sometimes. They also fail to recognize how concealed within dramas and seemingly negative scenarios they often are. The coming week brings you face-to-face with an opportunity you are unlikely to delay seizing. The only snag is, it might appear at first as an unwelcome development. Look past that at what is worth having.

Cancer Jun 23 - Jul 23 Even when people claim to be unsupportive, there are always ways in which they will support us. In other words, it's unfair to form a fixed opinion about a certain person and how supportive they are or are not based on one particular instance. Recently, you've done a good job of getting someone on your side. The down side to this is, they appear to have made clear that limits exist in terms of how supportive or cooperative they're willing to be. This week, look for what is positive within an arrangement. The sky promises that something strong can be built from that.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 20 There are times when we feel resigned to situations. Perhaps, this is because we've tried to change them in ways we wanted them to change but were unsuccessful. Maybe, it's because we fear upheaval and insecurity that might come from bringing about a change to a situation we have become familiar with. With that in mind, let's look at a scenario in your world that the sky is adamant must change. You're being removed from a certain comfort zone and this week is likely to highlight how. Something delightful is on offer. To receive it, be flexible and brave.

Leo Jun 24 - Aug 23 Here we are, once again in the season of goodwill and kind gestures. To many, goodwill and kind gestures involves ordering items from a range of online stores and believing they've done their bit until next year. The cosmos isn't interested in the calendar we adhere to on planet Earth. It has its own agenda and, interestingly, it has plans to bring you love, support and cooperation you've had on your Wish List for some time. A new era is beckoning and one that promises you'll be defending yourself much less, very soon. Let developments unfolding now reassure you of this.

Aquarius Jan 21 - Feb 19 Many artists have written songs about wanting to 'rule the world'. In truth, this is unlikely to be something any of us would really want to do. We all wish we had more power or influence in some ways but would supreme power be something we would truly want? As much as you can see ways in which you could improve the lives of others now, there are limits to how much you can – and ought to – do. This week, avoid the temptation to intervene or convey points too strongly about what others ought to be doing. Step back wherever possible, for now.

Virgo Aug 24 - Sep 23 There appears to be a celestial equivalent of applying brakes in some way happening now. It appears a process might have gained momentum a bit more quickly than you'd anticipated or a situation between you and a certain person requires distance put between you if a sensible way forward is to be identified. This is by no means a 'bad' scenario, in fact, it bodes very well for ensuring tension is kept to a minimum. You and someone else don't appear to be singing from the same proverbial hymn sheet quite yet but developments this week could do much to help.

Pisces Feb 20 - Mar 20 People speak about others 'biting the hand that feeds them'. Of course, they would never acknowledge how they might be doing something similar themselves. It's usually from a distance that we can see how others are making mistakes or erring in some way. This week, it might become clear how something you're doing – or not doing – is not as sensible or practical as you believe it to be. It might even be brought to your attention by someone in a way you're unlikely to be thankful for. But it is important you are thankful for someone's input as you'll soon discover.

Holiday Eating and Exercises for the Mind

“TUNED IN” This Page Is Subject To Copyright

Your inbox is full of party and dinner invitations. Each host will try to stuff you full by loading sparkly festive tables with high-calorie fat and sugar filled deliciousness. When weight loss plans and healthy eating goals are under attack by The Eating and Drinking Season, what should you do? Should you turn down the invitations and miss out on all the fun and conversation? To remain healthy and enjoy the party, apply a few reps of these great mindfulness exercises when you drink and eat. Both exercises are subtle and undetectable to those around you. Easily performed at a cocktail party where a glass in hand is normal or at a home where the host is plying you with home-made goodies, both exercises focus on limiting calories by changing how you eat. Apply interval training techniques and alternate reps of party food or drink with one of these: Pure water with just a splash of juice added, my favorites add-ins are

c r a n b e r r y, a c a i , a n d pomegranate juice as they add a bit of festive color to your glass. Mineral water with ice and a squish of fresh lime is another great choice - top it off with a cherry! Do not drink sodas, even “diet” sodas as they may trigger the need to eat. If you are a host, please put out an assortment of waters, slices of lemons, and healthy juices with all the other goodies. Your calorie counting friends will love you for it!

Use mental strength training to push it back, for 15 minutes. When you finish a glass or plate, put the plate down, breath, think, and then wait 15 minutes before you refill. Remind yourself that it is ok to eat or drink again after the 15 minutes is up. By then the urge for more may be reduced. With practice your mind begins to accept the pause as natural. Repeat reps as needed until the party is over. Both of these methods work because they slow down consumption. With the alternating method, you gain the benefit of greater hydration and a bit of vitamins from the juice, and you still get to enjoy some of the goodies. The Push it Back 15 Minutes method is particularly mindful. With practice, you learn how to ride through the height of the urge to drink and eat. This puts you back in control. Give both methods a try and give yourself the gift of holiday health.

Additionally, the song charted at Everybody look to their left ...Everybody look to their right number one in nineteen countries, becoming Jessie J's biggest hit to date. Can you feel that (yeah) The song was also the biggest-selling collaboration of the year in the We're paying with love tonight? United Kingdom. Jessie J has performed the song at a number of live performances, with other singers filling in for B.o.B or his verse being completely cut-out. "Price Tag" has received generally positive reviews from critics. The video features an oversized teddy bear, a money tree, and Jessie J as a ballerina in a large jewellery box. The single has sold 1,070,000 copies in the UK as of November 2012. The song was covered by The Wombats on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge on 31 May 2011. In December 2011, Jessie J recorded a Christmas-themed version of the song, with an interpolation of "Jingle Bells", featuring vocals from British singer-songwriter Jan. In December of 2011, Cimorelli covered this song for their second E.P. "The CimFam E.P.” "Price Tag" is an up-tempo, "feel good" track, inflected with reggae bounce and a sing-along chorus with powerful vocals from Jessie J, slinky guitars, and a vintage backbeat.

The Guardian's Caspar Smith referred to both the song and J's previous single "Do It Like A Dude" as "planet-saving R&B-based hits-in-waiting."AOL Radio's James Wells praised the song, saying that it "shows off the tirelessly upbeat, Motown-tinged singing and songwriting for which Jessie J has become known." He went on to contrast the song from other tracks from J's debut album Who You Are, calling it less aggressive and more "about the positive vibes." Nick Levine of Digital Spy compared the song to Miley Cyrus's "Party in the U.S.A." (2009), which was co-written by Jessie J. He said, "Truth be told, 'Price Tag' does come off a little bit corny, but thanks in no small part to Jessie's spunky likability" and described it as a "sundappled, hip-hopinflected midtempo headnodder".

[Chorus:] It's not about the money, money, money We don't need your money, money, money We just wanna make the world dance,....Forget about the price tag Ain't about the (uh) cha-ching cha-ching Ain't about the (yeah) ba-bling ba-bling Wanna make the world dance,....Forget about the price tag (OK) We need to take it back in time,...When music made us all unite! And it wasn't low blows and video hoes, Am I the only one getting tired? Why is everybody so obsessed?...Money can't buy us happiness Can we all slow down and enjoy right now? Guarantee we'll be feeling alright Everybody look to their left (to their left) Everybody look to their right (to their right) Can you feel that (yeah)...We're paying with love tonight? [Chorusrepeat ] Forget about the price tag [B.o.B] Yeah yeah Well, keep the price tag ...And take the cash back Just give me six strings and a half stack And you can, can keep the cars....Leave me the garage And all I, yes all I need..........Are keys and guitars And guess what? In 30 seconds.....I'm leaving to Mars Yeah we leaping across........These undefeatable odds It's like this man..........You can't put a price on a life We do this for the love......So we fight and sacrifice Every night So we ain't gonna stumble and fall Never Waiting to see or send a sign of defeat Uh uh So we gonna keep everyone.......Moving their feet So bring back the beat......And then everyone sing It's not about the money [Chorus 2x] Yeah, yeah Oh-oh Forget about the price tag, yeah

Beware of Falling Trees in Bali 5 Deaths Blamed on Strong Winds in North Bali. Adverse weather in Bali's north on Sunday, December 15, 2013 resulted in ancient trees falling along the SeriritSingaraja road, blamed for the death of two local residents. Desy Handayani (23) and Made Artana (46) from Mayong Village near Seririt were killed instantly when a large falling tree struck the motorcycle on which they were traveling. As reported by Bali Daily (The Jakarta Post), police for the Seririt Police precinct confirmed the two were found dead at the scene with serious head injuries. Commander I Made Joni issued a warning to the public, saying: “There are so many old trees along the roads, we cannot be sure about their condition.”

At the same time, police asked the department of public works to inspect the condition of trees lining the main highway. A public works official from Buleleng refused to shoulder the blame, insisting that the trees are a matter for attention by the provincial government. Ketut Yasa of the Buleleng Public Works Office said: ? ? “The shade trees were planted by the provincial

administration and therefore, it is their responsibility to deal with the trees.” Wishing to spread around the blame even further, Yasa added: “All members of the community must also be proactive in protecting their locales, including reporting to Buleleng Public Works Agency, as well as the Sanitation and Landscape Agency, when they find old trees that may endanger motorists and people.” The severe weather in Bali's north was also blamed for the death of three construction workers at Lokpaksa in Serirt when the wall at a construction site collapse. Dead are three workers Gede Sarjana (25) from Karangasem, and Gusti Gede Mangku (45) and Gusti Aji Mangku (50) – both from Lokpaksa.

The Fascinating History of Beer July 4th is the biggest beer selling holiday in the United States. More beer is sold than on the Super Bowl! But did you know that beer has a fundamental role in the history of civilization? Man needs air, drink and food (in that order), and when the water is contaminated, beer saves the day. Practically fo r e v e r, e v e r y m a n w a s nourished primarily by bread and beer. Even if beer will not help you lose weight, it has a fascinating history and is a part of so many people's lives that we wanted to give you a quick overview of the good, the bad, and the ugly. The History of Beer, Condensed Around the world, prehistoric man discovers fermentation by chance occurrence as decaying fruit mixes with yeast, molds and bacteria in the air to produce alcohol. 12,000 BC:Nomadic hunters and gatherers settle down to farm grain (presumably to make beer because bread-baking is

unknown) 7,000 BC:Brewing (i.e. intentionally making beer from grain or bread) is practiced in Babylon, Assyria, Egypt, Israel, China, and South America. 500 BC - 500 CE:Wine takes over as the preferred drink in the Western world. Beer is for peasants. 500 CE - 1000 CE:Beer is brewed in monasteries for the monks, pilgrims and the community. Beer leads Nomads into village life. Workers are paid in beer. 1000 CE: The Flemish add hops as a preservative. 1500 CE:The Germans

establish standards for brewers. 1620 CE:The first commercial brewery opens in New Amsterdam (New York City). The Pilgrims bail out at Plymouth Rock because they are running out of beer. 1 7 7 6 CE:Revolutionary War soldiers receive a ration of one quart of beer per day. 1840 CE:The Germans perfect larger beer. Before that, beer was actually ale. 1865 CE:Pasteur kills the bacteria in beer. 1880 CE:The Woman's Christian Temperance Union villainizes beer. .1919 - 1933 CE:Beer goes underground during Prohibition. 2009 CE: Beer continues to be central to the economy. The beer industry pays over $41 billion in yearly taxes and benefits the agriculture, manufacturing and transportation industries. Beer Nutrition The first frothy, cloudy, bitter, highly nutritious, unfiltered beer is a far cry from today's processed version. Still, beer supplies glucose, B-vitamins and a host of trace minerals. Fermentation improves the nutritional status of grain. Early beer had less alcohol than beer has today. Alcohol and Dieting Drinking too much alcohol can raise your risk for motor vehicle accidents, falls and other injuries, high blood pressure, stroke, inflammation of the liver, violence, suicide, and certain types of cancer. Be sure to consume a balanced diet before you make room for alcohol. Somewhere in the world, it's "Beer-o'clock".

Bali Counting on Soaring Arrivals Bali Expecting 10 million Foreign and Domestic Tourists in 2014 The Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and the Creative Economy is targeting 9.1 million foreign tourists visiting Indonesia in 2014. Meanwhile, the head of the Bali Tourism Service (Kadisparda), I.B. Kade Subhisku, quoted in Bisnis Bali, is targeting 3.5 million foreign tourist visitors to Bali for all of 2014.

Testosterone may cause 'man flu' Men have a reputation for being sooks when it comes to winter colds and flu but researchers believe "man flu" really does exist and the culprit is testosterone. US and French scientists have found evidence that testosterone plays a key role in making men's immune responses more sluggish than women's. It has long been thought that women's immune systems are generally stronger and respond more quickly to infections and vaccinations than that of males, but the cause has been unknown. The new study blames testosterone for dampening the immune response, suggesting men with high testosterone are more likely to feel the pain of the flu and for longer.

National Academy of Sciences a difference in how men and women responded to flu vaccines, which are given to trigger an immune response so the body produces antibodies to certain viruses. The researchers measured the immune response in 53 women and 34 men after their annual flu shot, finding that women produced a higher antibody response and bigger amounts of substances known as inflammatory cytokines. When the researchers tested the volunteers' blood, they found a set of genes that controlled immune responses and appeared to be regulated by testosterone. Researchers from Stanford Men with high testosterone levels University reported in the medical had the weakest antibody journal Proceedings of the response.

Dopey man calls police to complain Police discovered a stash of cannabis after Aaron Chambers rang them to complain his skunk had been stolen [GETTY MODELLED] Aaron Chambers, 31, was branded as "crackers" by his OWN solicitor after his hasty actions led officers to thousands of pounds worth of skunk cannabis he was growing in his home. Chambers pleaded guilty to a charge of producing a controlled Class B drug when he appeared at Kirklees Magistrates' Court. The drugs were found after police visited Chambers' home in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Alex Bozman, prosecuting, said: "Police attended at the

address in response to a report of a man shouting for the police. "Mr Chambers was there and said somebody had broken

After searching the property officers found NINE plants in the cellar along with equipment used to grow the plants including heating lamps and extractor filters. The street value of the stash was in excess of £4,000. Chambers said in a police interview that his door had been broken and somebody had taken some cannabis, although the quantity of the drugs taken is unknown. "A man shouting that his cannabis has been stolen is fairly ridiculous," said Bob Carr, mitigating. "It's like an armed robber calling police to say that his gun has been stolen,it's crackers." Chambers will be sentenced in the new year.

Cargo of bananas caught in Legal limbo

Cat takes grumpy to a new level

A cargo ship with 110,000 cartons of overripe bananas will remain docked at a U.S. port while their owner and the shipping company battle in court over who let them go brown. Del Monte Fresh Produce earlier this week sued Netherlands-based shipping company Seatrade Group for $1.5 million, claiming that in their four-day trip on the Green Brazil from Guatemala to Gloucester City, New Jersey, the tropical fruit became "no longer fit for human consumption." Del Monte argued in papers filed in U.S. District Court in New Jersey that the bananas were not kept at the proper temperature. Judge Robert Kugler ordered the Green Brazil held in port until the two parties work out the slippery dispute. T h e attorney for the Green Brazil could n o t b e reached for comment.

A cat video with a difference is getting hits on YouTube, showing that the internet favourites are capable of more than just grumpy faces. A Michigan woman, Maxx, was warding off a stray cat when the cat turned on her and jumped on her head, clawing her forehead and gouging her face. Maxx, 33, had taken the cat in a few months earlier and named it Buddy. But, she kicked snow at Buddy, causing him to turn on her. The security camera footage shows Buddy leaping on the woman's head, she spins around, falls to the snowy ground and wrestles the fierce feline to rid herself of its clawing and scratching. Maxx said she was trying to shoo Buddy away from her mother's dog. A viewer submitted "A horrible cat attack" video to myFOXdetroit.com, which interviewed Maxx. Her face was left swollen and infected by the attack. Buddy, who had previously bitten two other people, was put down.

HARDEN UP !! CIALIS 80mg FROM 10K CHINESE HERBAL VIAGRA FROM 10K ORIGINAL VIAGRA @ 20K

“A young woman was restrained, force-fed and injected with cosmetics in a high street shop window as part of a hard-hitting protest against animal testing. Jacqueline Traide was tortured in front of hundreds of horrified shoppers in a bid to raise awareness and end the practice. The 24-year-old endured 10 hours of experiments, which included having her hair shaved and irritants squirted in her eyes, as part of a worldwide campaign by Lush Cosmetics and The Humane Society. The disturbing stunt took place in Lush's Regent Street store, one of the UK's busiest shopping streets. Jacqueline appeared genuinely terrified as she was pinned down on a bench and had her mouth stretched open with two metal hooks while a man in a white coat force-fed her until she choked and gagged. The artist was also injected with numerous needles, had her skin braised and lotions and creams smeared across her face. Passers-by were gobsmacked to see Jacqueline, a social sculpture student at Oxford Brookes University, forced to have a section of her head shaved. The gruesome spectacle aimed to highlight the cruelty inflicted on animals during cosmetic laboratory tests and raise awareness that animal testing is still a common practice. The Humane Society International and Lush Cosmetics have joined forces to launch the largest-ever global campaign to end animal testing for cosmetics. The campaign, launched to coincide with World Week for Animals in Laboratories, is being rolled out simultaneously in over 700 Lush Ltd shops across fortyseven countries including the United States, Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Russia.

Direct postage to Australia Available Lush campaign manager TamsinOmond said: “The ironic thing is that if it was a beagle in the window and we were doing all these things to it, we'd have the police and RSPCA here in minutes. “But somewhere in the world, this kind of thing is happening to an animal every few seconds on average. “The difference is, it's normally hidden. We need to remind people it is still going on.”
