Nyoman Nuarta, the

designer of the monument,
confirmed the project is now
half-completed with deliveries of
statue elements arriving once
every three weeks from
Bandung, West Java in a
convoy of 12 trucks.
If completed on schedule
in 2016, the GWK statue will
stand 126 meters high with a
wingspan of 64 meters. The
total cost of the project is put at
Rp. 450 billion (US$39.1
million).
The new monument is
located some 300 meters from
t h e e a r l i e r, t e m p o r a r y
monument. The final
construction is comprised of two
parts. The 3,000-ton upper
structure made of copper with
the crown and the mythical
Garuda bird highlighted in gold.
The pedestal on which the
monument stands occupies a

space of 30,000 square meters

and house a multi-purpose
conference room, a gallery and
an Indonesian cultural museum.
The breast of the Garuda
Statues will hold a highelevation viewing gallery
providing a views to both sides
of Bali.
First started in the early
1990s, the GWK monument is a

joint share holding between the

Bali Tourism Development
Corporation (BTDC) (18%) and
private investors 82%.
The project has stalled on
several occasions in the pasr
due to a lack on ongoing funding
and disagreements between
competing factions.

BALI THE RIGHT WAY

Gday again fellow punters and welcome to the weekly. We are
getting closer to the 400th issue at the paper now which is a great
milestone for us. There will be so many sponsors and driving
factors that will need to be thanked when we actually do pass the
400 mark. I am told there will be a few drinks to be had at a roof top
venue somewhere in Kuta for all concerned, so I will keep you
informed on that. The people that have helped get the newspaper to
aliasj@kutaweekly.com
the point that it is, are so many and varied that it should be a good
little party. I can't thank the loyal sponsors enough for sticking with us and making the rag what it is
today. We are growing now to the point where we are about to be putting 3500 copies per week in and
around Bali. There are many mouths that make many promises on this island and generally speaking the
smart people tend to weed out the crap talkers and understand rudimentary business acumen and prefer to
work with that instead. There is an old saying that some of you may know and that's The poor man pays
twice I'll let you think about that one.
Moving along it seems the island is full of very proud Blues fans and I think they would all be happy with
the win they took last week at the State Of Origin. From memory the Blues did this last year and still
ended up with no cigar. They haven't taken a flag for almost 10 years so, let's hope they have a better run
this time round and that 2014 is their year to win. I'm told there is an entire generation of youngsters that
have never seen the Blues win and after thinking about it if you are between the ages of 9 and probably 13
you wouldn't remember them winning so I have to agree with the stat, as much as it annoys me. There
aren't many things that annoy me but when it comes to your favorite team winning there is always room to
have a gripe, the thing is some of the expats up here don't know when enough is enough.
Moving along I see the powers that be on the island have done a rather swift job in so far as trying to sort
out the little run of crime that was being plastered all over face book and other public media forums. I saw
a picture of a group of thugs that have been caught and are now under arrest. The police had them lined up
ready for the picture and looked very proud of themselves. I have a strange feeling that they may have
been already onto the problem prior to any ranting online, which in this writers opinion would have done
nothing other than to hinder any operation. Do the people that post in continuum understand that the guys
that are working in groups stealing hand bags and doing petty crime can use Facebook also and are
probably members of the same groups online At the end of the day old fashioned police work prevailed
and a few pinches happened and yes Bali is that much safer again. This sort of thing happens all over the
world everyday and as much as it isn't very nice, it isn't going to completely stop. If you think Bali is bad
then I suggest you walk the back lanes of Hong
Kong late one night or early one morning after you
have been drinking heavily and see how long the
wallet lasts in your back pocket. Try Perth for that
matter.
Ok folks that again about all I have to say this week
and I trust that the most of you stay safe, happy
healthy and always try to remember, it's
impossible said your pride, it's risky said your
experience, It's pointless said your reason, Give
it a try whispered your heart,
Enjoy Your Week.
ALIASJ..

Bali's Coming Glut of Condotels

Most of Bali's Choice
Seaside Property Now in
the Hand of Non-Balinese
Property Developers
Bali Post quotes a
Balinese property investor, I
Gede Suardita, observing that
the price of seaside property
in Bali has gone crazy
because of the fierce
competition by developers to
grab up every remaining piece
of seaside land in Bali's south.
A s a n a t u r a l
consequence of the "land grab"
Suardita is predicting that a large
number of condotels will be built
along all of Bali's beaches in the
coming few years.
Suardita, who serves as the
vice-chairman for the Payments
and Taxation Committee of the Bali
Branch of the Indonesian Real
Estate Association (REI-Bali),

emphasized that most seaside

lots of land are owned by
investors from outside Bali,
saying the shoreline from Kuta
Beach to Soka Beach is now in the
hands of investors. Adding: We
have merely become spectators
because we lack the capital. This
is even more the case as tourism
development surges, further
fueling the appetite for business

development in Bali.
The director of PT Ski
Land Development, Gede
Semadi Putra, also admits
that most investors and
developers of condotels in
Bali originate from outside
the Island. At the same time,
he concedes that these new
investors are helping to
power the Balinese
economy with their new
injections of cash.
Semadi said he
hopes Bali's new investors will
follow zoning and building
regulations. He also called on the
local governments to closely
supervise new projects and take
stern action when violations are
discovered.

Grazing Closer to Home

Bali Farmers Association
Wants Imports of
Vegetable, Fruits and Meat
Controlled
The Indonesian Farmers
Association for Bali (HKTI-Bali)
is calling on tourism
businesses, especially hotels,
to be required to absorb 100%
of local farm products.
Professor Dr. I Nyoman
Suparta, the chairman of HKTIBali told Bali Post: They (the
hotels) import a great deal from
overseas, but we in Bali also have
an agricultural sector that must be
protected. One way to do this is by
absorbing Bali's farm produce.
Suparta claims that the
tourism sector in Bali only
manages to absorb 50-60% of the
products produced by Bali's
farmers.
B a l i ' s t o u r i s m s e c t o r,
however, does manage to absorb
80% of the poultry and eggs
produced on the Island.
We want that 100% of the
(tourism's) need for agricultural
products be taken from local
farmers. It should not be like the
current situation where many

locally produced agricultural

products remain unused. For
instance, we have a high
production level of local beef,
explained Suparta.
Suparta called on the
tourism sector not to take cover by
citing the weaknesses of Bali's
farming sector. Adding: I am not
anti-import, but we must think
more about how to make
agriculture and livestock profitable
and productive.
An agricultural expert from
Bali's Udayana University, Putu
Anom, said that contracts for the
mandatory use of local agricultural
products can be made between
the Island's tourism sector and
HKTI-Bali, supported by

government regulations.
A n o m a d d e d : To u r i s t s
holidaying in Bali also feel
deprived, complled to eat
products imported from their
home countries. Tourism
operators must take note. Why
not use local produce and fruit
in accordance with their
seasonality?
Anom insists that
foreign tourists visiting Bali
come in search of new flavors
and experiences not available
in their home country. This
curiosity, he adds, extends not
only to cuisine, but also includes
matters of accommodation, fruits
and produce.
Saying that there is great
potential for the absorption of local
agricultural products, Anom said:
(Use of local products) needs to
be supported by regulations
limiting the importation of fruit,
vegetables and meats. The
province needs to make rules
requiring the purchase of local
agriculture and limiting the use of
imported products.

Indonesia's Bubbling Ring of Fire

Mount Sangeang
Vo l c a n o E r u p t i o n
Disrupting Eastern
Indonesia and Darwin
Flights
The eruption on
Friday, May 30, 2014 of the
Mount Sangeang Volcano
a mid-sea volcanic island
north of the Island of
Sumbawa continues to
disrupt both domestic and
international flights in the region.
The majority of flights
operating in and out of Darwin in
northwest Australia were cancelled
on Saturday, May 31, and Sunday,
June 1, 2014.
Darwin airport officials
confirmed that domestic and
international Jetstar services, and
domestic flights operated by Virgin
and Qantas were cancelled on
Saturday and Sunday.
Fights operated into Darwin
by Malaysian Airlines, Silkair and
Qantas were also affected by the
eruption.
Darwin flight operations
appeared to be returning largely to
normal on Monday, June 2, 2014
Jetstar resumed all flight to and from
Darwin at 4:30 local time on June 1,
2014.

the volcano and threatening

aviation is moving in a
southeasterly direction over the
Kimberly's and Top End of
Australia. The clouds affecting
Australian airspace measured 14
kilometers across and at its
uppermost reach was 50,000 feet
high.
A third cloud, northeast of
Bali, will not affect Australian
airspace but may pose a hazard to
some domestic and international
flights operating into Bali.
The volcanic cloud that had
moved close to Bali on Monday is
causing delays and cancellation
on some Australian flights to Bali
and a number of domestic
Indonesian flight to eastern
Indonesia.
Denpasar's flight status
board on Monday, June 2, 2014,
showed many Australian flights

delayed or cancelled
notices, with the
situation changing by

In Indonesia the
volcanic cloud caused

eastern Indonesian
flight. Saturday and
Sunday flights and their

Survivor Rounds: State of Origin takes toll on NRL

premiershp pace setters
TWO rounds in to the
Origin Survivor
Rounds and the annual
clash between New
S o u t h Wa l e s a n d
Queensland has
already started to have
its effect on the NRL
premiership.
How clubs survive the
Origin period has become
vitally important with Origin
taking an increasingly heavy
toll on clubs who lose players via
representative selection or through
injury sustained playing for the
Blues or Maroons.
With the launch of the first of
our Origin Survivor Ladders, which
tracks how teams progress during
the crucial rounds 11 through 18, it's
plain to see Origin has taken its toll
already.
Three of the competition highflyers in the Sea Eagles, the
Bulldogs and Storm have already
lost their first matches without their
Origin stars.
The Bulldogs in round 11 lost
32-12 to the Roosters in round 11
but had to make do without Josh
Reynolds, Trent Hodkinson, Tony
Williams and Josh Morris. Having
sustained a PCL injury in Origin I,

Morris will now miss more games for

the Dogs including this week's clash
against Manly.
The Sea Eagles also haven't
come out of their opening encounter
of the Origin rounds unscathed with
a 36-10 thrashing at the hands of the
Brisbane Broncos.
The Broncos might have won
regardless but Manly did suffer
without chief playmaker Daly
Cherry-Evans and Anthony
Watmough, both injured in Origin I.
The Broncos also lost Justin
Hodges following Origin with an
ankle injury.
P L AY E R S P U S H F O R
STAND-ALONE ORIGIN
The Storm were the team
knocked around the most by Origin
and it showed in their display
against the Cowboys who won 22-0
FIRST IN
INDONESIA

playing in front of their

home crowd.
After breaking
his arm in Origin I, the
Storm's chief
playmaker Cooper
Cronk is now out for
anywhere between six
weeks and three
months while an injury
to Billy Slater's AC joint
prevented him from
backing up against the
Cowboys.
It forced a major reshuffle with
Cameron Smith moving to halfback
but the odds of overcoming major
losses like Cronk and Slater against
a Cowboys outfit with all their Origin
stars were always going to be long.
By resting Jarryd Hayne the
Eels suffered accordingly and were
thrashed 38-12 to Penrith.
The Rabbitohs, Roosters,
Broncos and Warriors are the teams
that have coped best during the
Origin Survivor Rounds, winning
both their rounds 11 and 12
matches.
Foxsports.com.au and
Monday Night with Matty Johns will
update and feature the ladder each
week to reveal how the makeup of
the Premiership is being shaped
during the Origin period.

Five things you should know about the NBA Finals

series
ANTICIPATION is building for
the NBA Finals rematch
between the San Antonio
Spurs and Miami Heat.
The series starts in San Antonio on
Friday (AEST). Here are five
things you should know.
GAME 1 FACTS
The Spurs have never lost
Game 1 of an NBA Finals. And
Miami star LeBron James has
never been part of a Game 1 road
victory, in any round.
San Antonio which has
never played an NBA Finals game
while facing a deficit in the series
has won each of its five Game
1's in the title round, doing so by an
average of 10.4 points per game.
Including his time in
Cleveland, James has been on
teams that opened playoff series
on the road seven times. They're
0-7, losing by an average of 12.3
points.
But in four of those seven
occurrences, including all three
times it's happened with Miami,
James and his team eventually
won the series.
ALL THEY DO IS WIN
Over the last decade, no one
has come close to matching the
playoff win totals of the Spurs and
Heat.
Since the start of the 2005
playoffs, including the first three
rounds this year, San Antonio has
a league-best 92 playoff victories,
while Miami has won 89 playoff
games.
No other franchise is even
close: The Celtics and Lakers
have both won 59 playoff games
during that span.
Miami has the best playoff
winning percentage in the last 10
postseasons, its mark there of
.654 just edging San Antonio's
mark of .626.
There are six teams who

18

don't even have 10 wins in the last

10 years the Knicks (7), Raptors
(6), Bucks (4), Kings (3), Bobcatsnow-Hornets (0) and
Timberwolves (not just zero wins,
but also zero playoff games
played).
A LAST BIT OF REST
A p p a r e n t l y, t w o d a y s
without practice is a standard perk
for winning a conference title in the
NBA these days.
The Heat ousted Indiana on
Friday night, then took Saturday
and Sunday off to refresh and
recharge. Heat coach Erik
Spoelstra summoned his team for
practice on Monday morning.
The Spurs aren't planning to
do anything officially basketballrelated until Tuesday. They
eliminated Oklahoma City on
Saturday night, and had no
practices scheduled on either
Sunday or Monday which, if
nothing else, figures to give Tony
Parker plenty of time to work on
improving the condition of his
sprained left ankle.
Parker sat out the second
half of the Spurs' West-clinching
win at Oklahoma City because of
the ankle problem.
RESPECT LEVEL
Oh, there will be a high level
of physicality in this series, for
certain.
But something like, say,
blowing into an opponent's ear, we
can safely dismiss that as a
realistic possibility during these
NBA Finals.
There is genuine respect
between the franchises, perhaps
best proven by how Spurs coach
Gregg Popovich warmly
embraced any Heat player or
coach he could reach after Game
7 ended a year ago.
Frankly, the Heat won't miss
the Lance Stephenson-antics
like blowing into LeBron James'

ear and the endless questions

about those moves.
It's an annoyance, Heat
forward Shane Battier said. It's
nice we don't have to deal with that
anymore. ... It's about basketball
and not all of the chicanery that
went on.
MONEY AT STAKE
There's $14 million in the
league's playoff pool this season,
and as if the Heat and Spurs
weren't motivated enough by the
chance to hold another Larry
O'Brien Trophy, there's also some
cash at stake.
The Spurs are already
assured of taking home a total of
$3,268,347 from that pool, a figure
that would rise to $4,104,811 by
winning the NBA championship.
Miami will get a payout of
$2,795,220 if it does not win the
finals, and $3,631,684 if it wins the
championship for the third straight
year.
The pool pays out based on
where teams finished in their
conference in the regular season,
which explains the discrepancy in
what the Spurs and Heat have
earned so far. There's also a
difference of $836,464 in what
teams receive for winning or losing
the finals.

Cody Walker signs with South Sydney Rabbitohs

IN A sign of how gifted he is,
24-year-old Queensland
playmaker Cody Walker has
knocked back two NRL clubs
to sign with South Sydney.
Walker has agreed to terms
with the Rabbitohs for two years
starting next season, rejecting
interest from the Melbourne Storm
and the Gold Coast Titans.
Walker has come of age at
the Easts Tigers under Craig
Ingebrigtsen and is the rare case
of a mid-20s playmaker being
chased by NRL clubs.
Melbourne tabled what it
thought was a competitive offer to
keep Walker but it is understood
Souths offered significantly more.
It is understood the Storm
were not happy when told of
Wa l k e r ' s d e c i s i o n t o s i g n
elsewhere.
They have invested in
Walker for the past year and while
he is yet to play NRL they viewed
him as their long-term five-eighth.
Melbourne coach Craig

Bellamy typically prefers players

spend up to a year in his system
before debuting.
Walker was expected to see
NRL action when he returned from
a hamstring complaint this month
but that may now be in jeopardy.
Bellamy has opted for Ben

Hampton to partner Cooper Cronk

at the scrumbase and preferred
veteran Ben Roberts to Walker
earlier this season.
Walker enjoys Melbourne
but wants to be closer to his
Sydney family.
The Rabbitohs have bought
the 24-year-old because they
need back-up in case the Adam
Reynolds and Luke Keary halves
combination does not fire next
year.
Walker will have to fight to
earn his spot but the Rabbitohs are
concerned Reynolds and Keary's
lack of size could be exploited.
South Sydney were caught
short this year when Keary
suffered a pectoral injury on the
eve of the season and they had to
play centre Dylan Walker in the
halves before reverting to John
Sutton.
The chase for Walker's
signature proves how strong the
Intrust Super Cup is as a breeding
ground for NRL players.

Melbourne football club East Burwood Rams

investigated over nude laps punishment
S U B U R B A N
Melbourne Australian
rules footy club the
East Burwood Rams is
under investigation
over allegations it
forced players as
young as 17 to run
around an oval naked
as punishment for a
poor performance.
The Eastern Football
League is looking into the incident,
which occurred at Thursday May
22 training session, Fairfax
reported.
Parents' complaints
prompted the investigation.
An investigation is under
way to assess its validity or

22

otherwise,'' Eastern Football

League chief executive Phil
Murton said.
Once the investigation into
the incident is completed, the
details will be assessed and any
penalties or sanctions will be
delivered based on the findings

and in accordance with

[league] procedures and
rules.
The Rams have
not won a game since
the first round of the
season, and sit last on
the ladder.
The alleged
punishment did not
prove beneficial either.
Two days after, they lost
by 61 points to
Doncaster East.
Club president Sue Bailey
said the club would not be
commenting on the incident.
I've got no comment at all.
Everything is to go through the
eastern football director,'' Bailey
said.

HAWTHORN star Cyril Rioli has been buoyed by a
wave of support after he and his friends became w e i g h e d i n : ` ` T h e r e ' s

Rioli had proudly posted an image on Instagram,
showing his friends who had been visiting from the Tiwi
Islands as part of the Dreamtime round.
Only moments later, an Instagram troll fired off a
string of derogatory remarks, which the Herald Sun has
chosen not to repeat.
The insults were so offensive, Rioli reposted the
original photo showing the racist remarks.
In a week of celebration I get this sh-- towards my
people!'' Rioli said. Feel sorry for you son.''
Other Instagram users have turned against the troll,
giving him a spray of their own and backing Rioli.

inspirational, and people should aspire to that. Ignore
him.''

The Instagram troll

say his phone had been ``hacked''.
The Herald Sun is attempting to contact the user for

The online blow-up follows a Saturday night's
emotion-charged tribute to current and past Aboriginal
and Torres Strait AFL players as part of the Dreamtime
round.

Melbourne coach Paul Roos launches satirical attack

on prospect of AFL introducing on-field zones
MELBOURNE coach Paul Roos
has launched a stinging
satirical attack on the prospect
of the AFL introducing on-field
zones.
Laws of the Game committee
member John Worsfold floated the
idea on Monday night as one way of
combating congestion on the field.
Worsfold told the Seven
Network the league could look at
trialling a rule in pre-season that
keeps two or three players from both
sides in each half of the ground.
If you want to play a different
game, call it something else and we'll
play a different game, Roos said.
Or we can have two games
we can have Australian Rules footy
and another game called zoneball.
It's a great idea.
Roos, who matched wits with
Worsfold in classic 2005 and 2006
grand finals between Sydney and
West Coast, opined the game had
never been in better health and that

coaches had a knack of fixing

whatever ailed it.
We were talking about the
flood years ago, then that went away,
he said.
We worried about the zones,
then they went away.
The game at the moment is as
close to 18 one-on-one contests as
you can possibly have and we've still
got people complaining.
Roos suggested the
introduction of two new clubs, and the
glut of expansion picks heading to
GWS and Gold Coast, meant the
talent level is different now.
But the game itself has never

been better, he added.

Roos accused the league of
being far too reactive in the way they
picked at the game's fabric.
The problem is we put rules in.
Now we say the rules we put in haven't
worked, so we'll put some new rules
in, he said.
We'll do that and put some
rules in to fix the rules that were
supposed to fix the rules.
Then we'll put some rules in to
fix the rules that were going to fix the
rules that were going to fix the rules.
We'll keep doing that, that
sounds like a great idea.
Roos' freewheeling series of
sarcastic zingers came to an end
when asked at Tuesday's press
conference what he would do if in
control of the game.
I wouldn't have changed them
(rules), he said.
I'm just a coach. We're seen as
ruining the game so we've got to keep
our mouths shut.

Port Adelaide says it will

take a no-risk approach
with skipper Travis Boak
PORT Adelaide has vowed to take a no-risk
approach with injured captain Travis Boak,
despite a week on the sidelines possibly costing
him a Brownlow Medal.
Power fitness coach Darren Burgess says Boak's
season will not be put in jeopardy by allowing him to play
hurt against St Kilda in Saturday's twilight clash at Adelaide
Oval.
We'll keep a close eye on Boaky, yes he played out
the game (against Melbourne), but we don't want to run the
risk of losing our captain to a serious injury,'' Burgess said
after Boak returned from Alice Springs on crutches to
protect the right ankle he injured in the opening minute
against the Demons.
Boak left the field for 10 minutes after having his
ankle squashed under an opponent but he returned to be
voted best afield, compiling 28 disposals.
His standout performance saw his odds for the
Brownlow slashed into a season-low $13.
Book could have as many as 16 votes from his 10
games, with The Advertiser awarding him the maximum
three against Brisbane in round four, Geelong in round six,
Hawthorn in round 10 and Melbourne on Saturday.
He was voted second-best afield (two votes) against
Carlton in round one and Fremantle in round eight.
Book is equal-sixth in the line of betting with
Collingwood's Dayne Beams behind overwhelming
favourite Gary Ablett, from Gold Coast ($1.95), Sydney's
Josh Kennedy ($7), Magpie Scott Pendlebury ($8) and
Adelaide's Patrick Dangerfield and Geelong's Joel Selwood
($11).
Boak like his high-profile counterpart Dangerfield
at the Crows hates missing games but his ankle blew up
after the Melbourne match.
With Port flying high in top spot and playing a
struggling, 16th-placed opponent it should beat easily, the
club will be tempted to give its skipper a week off to help
ensure his body is in peak condition for the second half of
the season.
The Power has several injury concerns this week,
with speedy midfielder Matthew White (ankle) and star
goalsneak Chad Wingard (head knock) also to be monitored
at training after being hurt against the Dees.
Burgess said he expects Wingard to be available
after being on the end of friendly fire from teammate Jay
Schulz a knock which saw him stretchered from Traeger
Park and subbed out of the contest.
Chad was up and about after the game, so we think
he should be available to play,'' Burgess told the club's
website.
But we do need to be careful with concussions, so
he'll be carefully monitored during the week.''
White sustained a foot injury and, like Boak, was on
crutches after the game and will have to pass a fitness test to

Thorny abortion debate looms in Chile

Chilean President Michelle
Bachelet is fighting fierce
conservative opposition to
allow abortion for women
and girls who are raped,
carrying non-viable fetuses
or facing life-threatening
pregnancy complications.
Last month, a 17-year-old
girl turned up at a Santiago public
hospital near death from bleeding.
A doctor at the hospital called
police to report her: she had had a
back-alley abortion, which is illegal
in Chile.
Police searched
the girl's home and
reported finding bloodstained underwear.
Prosecutors say that
she is facing 3.5 to five
years in prison.
In recent years,
cases like hers, or that
of Belen, an 11-yearold raped by her
s t e p f a t h e r, h a v e
rocked Chile's
traditional and
overwhelmingly
Roman Catholic
society.
Others like journalist
Monica Perez have to go forward
with a pregnancy knowing full well
the baby would not live.
The socialist president, a
pediatrician by training, has
announced that she will try in her
second term to take on an
admittedly taboo issue in one of
the few countries where abortion is
not permitted under any
circumstances.
"Chile needs to engage in a
mature and informed dialogue...
on a bill" in Congress to legalize
abortion in cases of rape, risk to
the patient's life and non-viable
fetuses, Bachelet has said.
Bachelet's proposal
"includes three situations that are
quite extreme, and (most national)

30

laws around the world already

include them," said Cristobal
Bellolio, an analyst at Universidad
Adolfo Ibanez.
And despite Chile's
resistance to the practice, abortion
is part of daily life here. The health
ministry estimates that about
150,000 abortions are performed
illegally every year in the South
American nation of 17 million.
And more alarmingly, "every
single month, we have three of
four women die from abortions"
due to illegal and drug-induced

operations, Bachelet said last

month on Mega television.
Most women in Chile who
abort do so by ordering
medications online that will cause
contractions or disrupt hormonal
functions.
"The government has to
stop this black market, and debate
a bill on legal abortion, because
we don't want more people dying,
or more people misinformed," said
Anita Roman of the Matronas
association.
- Abortion debate this year Before 1989, Chile
sometimes allowed abortion when
the fetus was not viable or a
pregnancy endangered the
patient's life.
But toward the end of the
Augusto Pinochet 1973-1990

dictatorship, it was banned across

the board. Divorce was only made
legal in Chile in 2004.
The Roman Catholic
Church, a key political player for
decades in Chile that is now losing
followers and influence, was
outraged by the president's
remarks.
Santiago Archbishop
Ricardo Ezzati said Bachelet
would sooner protect pets than
human beings, referring to a bill on
animal rights repeating a jab made
by the president's conservative
predecessor Sebastian
Pinera.
The government
has said that debate on
the issue will start in
Congress before year's
end.
- Society has
evolved "Chilean society
has evolved in terms of
its values. It has become
a better educated
s o c i e t y, w i t h m o r e
access to information
and that is more
interested in personal
freedoms," Bellolio said.
Two years ago, a
conservative-held Congress
refused to debate abortion reform.
Now, Bachelet's political allies
hold sway, so the debate will go on,
and promises to be thorny.
The Christian Democrats for
the first time agreed to debate
abortion in cases of non-viable
fetuses and when the patient's life
is in danger, but it was not clear if
they would add pregnancies from
rape to the list.
During her first term in
office, Bachelet fought mightily to
make available the "morning after"
pill, which remains difficult to
obtain.
That scenario could repeat
itself again with potentially legal
abortion.

Seattle Dumps Drones over Privacy concerns

The Los Angeles Police
Department overlooked the
controversial nature of the
drones and accepted them as
a gift from
Seattle.
LAPD
has stated
they are
reviewing
t
h
e
situations in
which they
will allow
drones to
be used,
and as is
typical for
t
h
e
department
, they claim
they will
only use
them in a situation that poses
imminent harm under narrow and
prescribed uses.
The LAPD is refusing to refer
to the aircraft as drones, but is
calling them remote controlled
aircraft. The remote controlled
aircraft are equipped to listen in
on personal conversations, deploy
infrared video surveillance, and
use facial recognition software.
Of course, while LAPD is

publicly stating that the aircraft will

be used only under a very special
set of circumstances, the
department can't specify what
those circumstances are because

it has no written policy for the use

of the aircraft.
LAPD has a history of police
brutality and corruption. The
department has been unable to
successfully control its officers
while they use something as
simple as a baton or a taser. The
narrow and prescribed uses the
department will eventually adopt,
even though they can't currently
say what those uses will be, will
inevitably be violated. Each

BioMicrobe

violation will cost the taxpayers

when the department has to pay to
settle the almost certain civil rights
lawsuits.
An ACLU of Southern
California
spokesperso
n thanked
LAPD for
being upfront
about having
obtained the
surveillance
drones. The
L A P D ' s
reputation is
such that
apparently
they deserve
praise for not
lying to the
public. The
people of Los
Angeles need
to ask themselves if an
organization with that reputation
can be trusted with devices that
will be able to spy on them in their
own homes without a warrant. The
government is a child of the
people, and this particular child
needs to demonstrate that it can
correctly and safely use the toys it
has before it spends taxpayer
dollars maintaining new toys.

Is getting fatter making our feet bigger?

British feet are getting
longer and wider, experts
say. During the last four
decades, the average
British foot has increased
by two shoe sizes, The
College of Podiatry says.
In 1970, men's feet were
on average size eight and
women had size four feet, but
now the average male wears a
size 10 and the average female wears
a size six, a spokeswoman says.
The increase could be linked to
the population's increased weight and
height, she added.
A new poll conducted by the
college found that two-thirds of
women claim their feet have got wider
in adult life, and 35 per cent said they

have got bigger.

And the survey of 2000 British
adults found that 48 per cent of men
said their feet have got bigger, and 61
per cent said their feet are wider.
The college also cautioned that
many people are risking foot problems
by trying to squeeze their feet into
shoes that are too small and narrow.

"Feet are getting bigger

because as a nation we are
becoming taller and we're
increasing in weight," said
podiatrist Lorraine Jones from
The College of Podiatry.
"Increased weight gain
places more pressure on the feet
and means ligaments and joints
need to work harder to maintain
the foot's structure and keep you
mobile.
"Over time, if someone is
gaining weight, the feet splay to try
and accommodate the increased
pressure which can cause pain, lead
to mobility issues and increase your
risk of developing osteoarthritis in the
lower limb joints."

Gates's To Build Nuclear Reactor In Kalimantan

TerraPower, a fission
firm led by Bill Gates, is
mulling a plan to build a
modern nuclear reactor
in Indonesia.
According to reports,
government-owned PT Batan
Tekno (Persero) pitched the
project to the Microsoft cofounder during his visit to
Indonesia recently.
Persero President,
Yudiutomo Imardjoko said
TerraPower is considering the
project. He said if TerraPower
does decide to build the facility,
the likeliest site would be
Kalimantan, which is less prone
from natural disasters such as
earthquakes.
The risk of quakes is
relatively small and the many

plans to build smelters there

would need larger supply of
electricity, Antara quoted
Yudiutomo as saying.
TerraPower is working on
a new nuclear reactor that is
safer and more sustainable,

and runs on the spent uranium

waste of current nuclear power
plants.
It is reportedly planning to
start building its first plant in
2015, and have it operational in
the 2020s.

Puppy drives family car into pond

A three-month-old
puppy ended up in
hot water with her
owner after
driving the family
car straight into a
pond.
G e r m a n
shepherd Rosie was a
little over enthusiastic
following a walk around
Bolicar Pond in
C a n t o n ,
Massachusetts, and
leapt straight into
owner John Costello's
car which had its engine turned
on.
The excited pup hit the
gear stick, shifted it into drive
and then fell onto the gas pedal
sending the vehicle careering
into the water.

No-one was hurt in the

accident and Mr Costello later
said: "The car went for a swim.
"We all did."
Canton Police Officer
Robert Quirk said the car was a
write-off after being completely

The

submerged in the pond.

"The perp says she was
just going with the flow of
traffic," Quirk said in a Twitter
post showing a picture of the
puppy.

5 Jun - 11 Jun 2014

Aries Mar 21 - Apr 20

'That's the way I like it'. So sang KC and his Sunshine Band. You appear to
have clear in your mind what you like and why you like it. This could relate to
a particular arrangement with a certain person. They, however, appear to
have different ideas about how things should be between you. This week
offers a chance to bring about a change to this. Is it what you want? Is it
what you need? Be aware of pressure that could be put upon you to change
a situation you're comfortable with. If it doesn't suit someone else though,
then prepare to have this made clear to you.

Libra Sep 24 - Oct 23

There's nothing quite like pessimism to fuel fires of self protection. If we
believe we have reason to be defensive, then pessimism always adds
missing elements where negativity is concerned. You might believe you
have reason to be pessimistic. This, in turn, could be encouraging you to
feel a need to be self protective and focus on a negative instead of
positive outcome in some way. This week, you're being encouraged by a
kind and caring cosmos to relax. That might sound easier than done but
expect a genuine reason to replace pessimism with optimism.

Taurus Apr 21 - May 21

If you sense confusion and uncertainty, then welcome it. Both offer the
chance to move from a stale situation and this week, something starts to
shift. Through recognizing how long you have coped with feeling confused
and uncertain, you appear likely to bring about change that can and will
dispel both. With change though will come a new level of insecurity. That is
something you can cope with. The feeling of reassurance it brings will
override any concerns you might have about whether or not you have done
little more than perpetuate an ongoing drama.

Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 22

When we guess certain answers, laws of probability suggest we stand a
chance of getting some right. Multiple choice questions, for example,
are a good example of this. But when we're expected to create an
answer with little or no help or guidance, then likelihood becomes higher
that we'll get answers wrong. However, sometimes our instincts kick in to
provide help we need. It is your use of instinct that can put you in a strong
position to provide an answer to a certain person. You don't need to
guess anything this week. Trust your feelings. They won't let you down.

Gemini May 22 - Jun 22

Sometimes, we put too much emphasis on the importance of decisions. We
acknowledge change they bring and fear how we might cope with change
through altering some aspect of our lives. This week, don't focus so intently
on the fact that you are being encouraged to make a decision. Focus
instead on how you are opting to seize a particular opportunity. You can be
instrumental in bringing about much needed change to a particular area.
Whilst it could involve a life changing decision, don't succumb to the belief
that it is bigger or more complex than it really is.

Sagittarius Nov 23 - Dec 21

When driving long distances, there are limits to how much we can take
into account delays we might encounter. Past experience can play a
part. So too, can instinct. However, we're usually better of setting off on
our journey allowing plenty of time for any possible delays and seeing
what happens. Much the same can be said about a particular plan or
venture you're considering. It's time to stop weighing up what might go
wrong or what potential complications might be. This week brings a
chance for you to commence something that deserves to be
commenced.

Cancer Jun 23 - Jul 23

Serendipity is a fancy word for 'chance', the way things 'just happen' and
often by surprise. We spend so much time during our lifetimes engineering
particular results and outcomes. We don't allow as much as we should do
for events to unfold in their own way and time that might be far removed
from what we were expecting or pinning hopes on. This week, allow for the
possibility that you might be surprised by a turn of events that happen in
their own way and give the impression of coming out of the blue. Trust that
it's all intended to help, not hinder.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 20

'Where's the catch?' Such words get said by people who believe they
have good reason to believe a hidden agenda exists within an
arrangement. It's understandable that we should feel a need to exercise
caution sometimes. The trouble is though, our keenness to be cautious
can work against us in more than one way. This week, avoid a tendency
to be overly cautious. Avoid even more a tendency to believe that events
from the past play any part in the present now unfolding. It's time to
invest a bit more trust in some way. Relax and let some magic enter your
world.
Aquarius Jan 21 - Feb 19
There's always something reassuring about seeing light at the end of a
tunnel. Before we can reach it though, we must experience darkness
briefly. You're now in a glorious position where you ought to be focusing
solely on light that appears yet you've grown very used to darkness.
Whilst it can't be ignored because it still exists, its influence is waning
quickly. This week presents a fantastic opportunity for you to recognize
how far through darkness you've come and why all that will matter, very
soon, is how you're leaving it behind. Soon, there will be something to
celebrate.

If a situation has dragged on long enough and you've had no choice
other than to accept that a particular outcome is guaranteed, then why
should you have any reason to feel optimistic? If we tell ourselves
something enough times, then we start to believe it. If we're told
something enough times by someone we believe to be authoritative or
knowledgeable about a particular topic or situation, then we have no
reason to doubt what they're saying. In a certain area of your world,
you're not only about to discover a reason to feel more buoyant or
optimistic, you're also about to discover how much more knowledgeable
about it you are than certain others!

Virgo Aug 24 - Sep 23

When we look out of a window each morning, we tend to know how much
clothing to wear to protect us from the elements. We recognize what limits
might exist in terms of 'overdressing'. With that in mind, in what way might
you be overprotecting or overcompensating in some way now? This week
brings a chance for you to take stock of a situation that has had its share of
tension and how much need exists to continue being defensive and
protective toward it. You're likely to understand how your defensiveness
has become habitual and is no longer required.

We are constantly encouraged to invest trust in people and situations. We
also encourage others to trust us. Trust can take many forms. It forms the
foundation of any close relationship yet ways in which trust is needed on a
much more basic level sometimes gets overlooked or ignored. In your
world now, there appears to be a need for more trust to be invested in some
way on your part and for you to gain or even win back trust from certain
individuals. You have a chance to lead in some way now. This week, do
nothing more than be yourself to gain trust you need.

Please EnjoyJohn Farnham Burn For You

John Farnham

John Peter Farnham AO (born 1 July 1949, Dagenham,

East London, England), (formerly billed as Johnny Farnham from
his professional debut 1967 until 1980), is an English-born
Australian pop singer. Farnham was a teen pop idol from 1964 to
1979, and has since forged a career as an adult contemporary
singer. His career has mostly been as a solo artist although he
temporarily replaced Glenn Shorrock as lead singer of Little
River Band during 19821985. In September 1986 his solo
single, "You're the Voice" peaked at No. 1 on the Australian
singles charts. The associated album, Whispering Jack, held the
No. 1 position for a total of 25 weeks, and is the highest-selling
album in Australian history. Both the single and the album had
Top Ten success internationally including No. 1 in Sweden.
Domestically he has remained one of Australia's best-known
performers with a career spanning over 45 years, and he is the
only Australian artist to have a number one record in five
consecutive decades (echoeing that of Cliff Richard in the UK)
with singles: "Sadie (The Cleaning Lady)" in 1967, "Raindrops
Keep Fallin' on My Head" in 1969/1970, and "Age of Reason" in
1988 and albums Age of Reason, Chain Reaction in 1990, Then
Again... in 1993, Anthology 1: Greatest Hits 19861997 in 1997,
33 in 2000 and The Last Time in 2002.
Farnham has been recognised by honours and awards including
1987 Australian of the Year, 1996 Officer of the Order of Australia,
and 19 ARIA Awards including his 2003 induction into the Hall of
Fame. From 1969 he was voted by TV Week readers as the 'King
of Pop' for five consecutive years. Aside from his recording
career, Farnham performed on stage with lead roles in Australian
productions of Charlie Girl, Pippin and 1992's Jesus Christ
Superstar. He starred in his own TV series and specials including
It's Magic (With Colleen Hewett) and Bobby Dazzler and as a
guest on numerous other popular shows such as Countdown
and Hey Hey It's Saturday. Australian rock historian, Ian
McFarlane described him as "the most successful solo artist in
the history of Australian rock and pop Farnham has retained an
affable sense
of humour and
a simple,
unpretentious
'everyman'
charm which
also makes
him one of the
m o s t
respected
celebrities in
Australian
entertainment
history.

"Burn For You"

Got myself into some trouble tonight
Guess I'm just feelin' blue
It's been so long
Since I've seen your face
This distance between me and you
That voice you showed me is not the one that I know
I must be strong now, in what I do
Don't hang up again...
Theres nothing else I know how to do
But I burn for you
What am I gonna do
Burn for you
I guess it feels like you're always alone
And I feel that way too
It's so hard to explain to you
Please understand what I do
I burn for you
What am I gonna do
I burn for you
Burn for you
Took my trouble to a bar tonight
For another point of view
But there's nothing new
I'm missing you
I burn for you
What am I gonna do
Burn for you
Burn for you
I burn for you
What am I gonna do

Burn for you
What am I gonna do

Bali Wood Carvings

Bali wood carving comes in all different styles Western standards.
and themes. Very traditional carvings will mirror the
elaborate artwork found in the temples located
across the island. Another traditional form of wood
carving from Bali includes the use of drift wood and
roots that allows the artisan to use the natural shape
to enhance the end design.
Wood carving takes various forms. There are
massive panel designs that are
amazingly detailed works of art.
Statures and figurines, both large and
small, can feature humans, religious
figures and animals.
Other types of Balinese wood carvings
include masks. Many of these masks
are used in the various ceremonies
that are a major source of
entertainment and culture in the area.
These masks each tell a story can are
very elaborate and often very large and
ornate. Many are painted with acrylic or
oil based paint and then lacquered to a
brilliant finish.
Traditional verses modern
Like many aspects of Bali there is a
very traditional element of artisans that
hold true to their roots. There are also
artisans that are more geared towards
creating export art items. However, both take great
pride in their finished products.
Traditional artisans and woodworkers tend to add
incredible amounts of detail to their carvings. Often
these include religious images and themes. These
particular carvings may be incredible large by

More modern styles of carving are on the

minimalistic side. They feature the grains of the
woods in the shape and pattern of the sculptured
item. These wood carvings from Bali are popular
around the world for their clean lines and balance.
Imagination and reality
Depending on the woodworker and his or her style,
the designs may be highly imaginative
or very realistic. All are handmade so
they are each just a bit different from
the next. Common themes in highly
imaginative carvings include dragons,
stylized humans, gods and goddesses
as well as dancers with ornate
costumes and masks.
Realistic wood carvings may include a
range of different animals. Elephants,
snakes, horses, birds and monkeys
are icon to the island. You may also
find these very real shapes in
beautifully stylized pieces, a great
combination of imagination and reality.
Woods used
Depending on the woodworker's
preference there are several ideal
woods for this highly specialized art.
Most carvings will be of teak, jackfruit,
balul or baliwood. Tools used are often very
simplistic and very traditional, sometimes passed
down through families. The range of beauty found in
these Bali products is astounding.
Having Bali wood carvings on display is a wonderful
addition to any home.

A group of mothers
and their small
children were
attending a group
therapy
session.
"You all have obsessions," the psychologist observed.
To the first mother, Mary, he said: "You are
obsessed with eating.
You've even named your daughter Candy."
He turned to the second Mum, Ann: "Your obsession
is with money. It
manifests itself in your children's names, Penny,
Goldie and Frank."
He turned to the third Mum, Joyce: "Your obsession
is alcohol. This too
shows itself in your children's names: Brandy and
Sherry. You even called
the cat, "Whisky".
He then turned to the fourth Mum June: "Your
obsession is with flowers. Your
girls are called Rose, Daphne & Poppy."
At this point, the fifth mother, Kathy, quietly got
up, took her little boy
by the hand and whispered: "Come on, Dick, this guy
has no idea what he's
talking about. Let's pick up Fanny and Willy and go
home."

Two old Jewish men, Sid and Abe, are sitting in a

Mexican restaurant one day.
Sid asks Abe,"Do you know if any people of our ancestry
were ever born and raised in Mexico?"
Abe replies, "I don't know, let's ask our waiter."
When the waiter arrives, Abe asks, "Are there any
Mexican Jews?"
The waiter says, "I don't know senor, I ask the cooks."
He returns from the kitchen after a few minutes and
says, "No senor, the cook say no Mexican Jews."
Abe isn't satisfied and asks, "Are you absolutely sure?"
The waiter, realizing he is dealing with "Gringos"
replies, "I check once again, senor," and goes back into
the kitchen.
While the waiter is away, Sid says, "I find it hard to
believe that there are no Jews in Mexico. Our people
are scattered everywhere."
The waiter returns and says, "Senor, the head cook
Manuel, he say there is no Mexican Jews."
"Are you certain?" Abe asks again. "I just can't believe
there are no Mexican Jews!
"Senor, I ask EVERYONE," replies the exasperated
waiter. "All we have is Orange Jews, Grape Jews, Prune
Jews, Tomato Jews, and Apple Jews, but no Mexican
Jews."

CURED OF BLINDNESS BY HERPES

Baltimore| Wilbert
M i l l e r, a w e l l
known retired
poet and author
who suffered all
his life from
blindness caused
by a birth defect,
recently started
seeing for the first
time of his life.
It seems he
was infected by a
very rare type of herpes during
a recent trip to France and that
the disease miraculously
restored his sight.
This mutated version of
the rather common sexually
transmitted disease, caused
amongst other things, an
alteration of the 71-year old
man's cornea. This surprising

symptom somehow seems to

have corrected his extreme
case of corneal dystrophy,
enabling him to see for the first
time.
It's absolutely amazing!
says Mister Miller. I feel like a
kid again I am entirely
rediscovering the world. I
actually had to learn my colors
at 71-years old. Everything is so

beautiful! Who could

have thought that a
night of great sex with
a cheap French
prostitute could have
helped me enjoy the
rest of my life that
much? It's really
incredible!
The case of the
American man has
caught the attention a
the pharmaceutical
industry, that sees in
his case, a possible cure for
other patients of corneal
dystrophy. His specific type of
herpes will therefore be
thoroughly analyzed to see if
this could offer a definite
answer to this common
problem.

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.

Old News Trivia

There is an old Hotel/Pub in
Marble Arch, London , which
used to have a gallows
adjacent to it.. Prisoners were
taken to the gallows (after a
fair trial of course) to be hung.
The horse-drawn dray, carting
the prisoner, was accompanied by an
armed guard, who would stop the dray
outside the pub and ask the prisoner if
he would like ''ONE LAST DRINK''.
If he said YES, it was referred to
as ONE FOR THE ROAD.
If he declined, that prisoner was
ON THE WAGON.
So there you go. More bleeding
history.
They used to use urine to tan
animal skins, so families used to all pee
in a pot and then once a day it was taken
and sold to the tannery. If you had to do
this to survive you were "piss poor", but
worse than that were the really poor
folk, who couldn't even afford to buy a
pot, they "Didn't have a pot to piss in"
and were the lowest of the low.
The next time you are washing
your hands and complain because the
water temperature isn't just how you like
it, think about how things used to be.
Here are some facts about the
1500s:
Most people got married in June,
because they took their yearly bath in
May and they still smelled pretty good
by June. However, since they were
starting to smell, brides carried a
bouquet of flowers to hide the body
odour. Hence the custom today of
carrying a bouquet when getting
married.
Baths consisted of a big tub filled
with hot water. The man of the house
had the privilege of the nice clean water,
then all the other sons and men, then
the women and finally the children. Last
of all the babies. By then the water was
so dirty you could actually lose
someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't
throw the baby out with the bath water!"
Houses had thatched roofs, thick
straw piled high, with no wood
underneath. It was the only place for
animals to get warm, so all the cats and
other small animals (mice, bugs) lived
in the roof. When it rained it became
slippery and sometimes the animals
would slip and fall off the roof. Hence

44

the saying "It's raining cats and

dogs."
There was nothing to stop
things from falling into the house.
This posed a real problem in the
bedroom, where bugs and other
droppings could mess up your nice
clean bed. Hence, a bed with big
posts and a sheet hung over the top
afforded some protection. That's how
canopy beds came into existence.
The floor was dirt. Only the
wealthy had something other than
dirt. Hence the saying, "dirt poor."
The wealthy had slate floors that
would get slippery in the winter when
wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on
floor to help keep their footing.
As the winter wore on they
added more thresh until, when you
opened the door, it would all start
slipping outside.. A piece of wood was
placed in the entrance-way. Hence: a
thresh hold. (Getting quite an
education, aren't you?)
In those old days, they cooked
in the kitchen with a big kettle that
always hung over the fire. Every day
they lit the fire and added things to the
pot. They ate mostly vegetables and
did not get much meat. They would
eat the stew for dinner, leaving
leftovers in the pot to get cold
overnight, then start over the next
day. Sometimes stew had food in it
that had been there for quite a while.
Hence the rhyme: ''Peas porridge
hot, peas porridge cold, peas
porridge in the pot, nine days old''.
Sometimes they could obtain
pork, which made them feel quite
special. When visitors came over
they would hang up their bacon, to
show off. It was a sign of wealth that a
man could, "Bring home the bacon."
They would cut off a little to share with
guests and would all sit around
talking and ''chew the fat''.
Those with money had plates
made of pewter. Food with high acid
content caused some of the lead to
leach onto the food, causing lead
poisoning and death. This happened
most often with tomatoes, so for the
next 400 years or so, tomatoes were
considered poisonous.
Bread was divided according
to status. Workers got the burnt
bottom of the loaf, the family got the

middle, and guests got the top, or

''The Upper Crust''.
Lead cups were used to drink
ale or whisky. The combination
would sometimes knock the
imbibers out for a couple of days.
Someone walking along the road
would take them for dead and
prepare them for burial. They were
laid out on the kitchen table for a
couple of days and the family would
gather around and eat and drink and
wait and see if they would wake up.
Hence the custom of ''Holding a
Wake''.
England is old and small and
the local folks started running out of
places to bury people, so they would
dig up coffins and would take the
bones to a bone-house and reuse
the grave. When reopening these
coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were
found to have scratch marks on the
inside and they realised they had
been burying people alive. So they
would tie a string on the wrist of the
corpse, thread it through the coffin
and up through the ground and tie it
to a bell.
Someone would have to sit
out in the graveyard all night (the
graveyard shift) to listen for the bell;
thus someone could be, ''Saved by
the Bell ''or was considered a ''Dead
Ringer''
And that's the truth.
Now, whoever said history was
boring ! ! !
