Gday again punters and lets rip into the latest Kuta Weekly for another goat it. At this point in time I'm spending a short run in the land down underand boy is Bali copping some bad publicity over here. At point of hittingthe keyboard for this latest ramble I've heard, from major mediabroadcasters in Australia, about three separate incidents todate that haveseemingly rocked Bali. I don't know which one I find the most disturbing?The first one I saw was about a family that encountered a couple of

intruders in their villa in Cunggu, and needless to say the fellow at the headof the family tackled one, throwing him backwards out the window heentered the property by, however the fact that he is a fit and healthy Karate black belt didn't stop the second guyfrom stabbing him 3 or 4 times before fleeing the scene. The fellow was treated for his wounds and will live. Thefamily has decided to stay in Bali and my guess is they will bolster their security measures. There is something tobe said about buying a managed apartment when this this sort of thing happens as you have 24/7 security andgenerally one door in and one door out. The second was a story about a young fellow from Perth who went to Balito party for the break and ended up on Lombok skulling some peculiar type cocktails and feeling a tad crookafterwards etc. etc., in short, he has ended up being medi-vacced to Royal Perth Hospital for serious treatment.After seeing this on the news for a few days the story ended up on the front page of the state's daily newspaper toannounce that the young bloke had lost his battle and sadly passed. You can only imagine the distress in thathousehold, terrible stuff.

The third story was about a lady from Queensland, living in Bali, that was found floating face down in her pool.After a night shift she knocked off at 3am and went for a few quiet ones with some of her friends then retired backto her villa. As the story goes she was found floating face down in her pool, somehow alive and was raced to thehospital to be pronounced dead on arrival. All these are obviously terrible news stories out of Bali and not

something that anyone likes to hear or read about, but, this thing happens all the time. These things happen allover the world, all the time and shouldn't be slammed on the news wires as the worst thing that has ever happenedin the world. You can have your house robbed anywhere. You can drink something crook on any continent, andafter drinking a few quiet ones with friend at the end of a busy Christmas shift you can drown in a pool anywhere.

The fact that this has all happened in Bali and that a trillion people come here from Australia each week is thereason these news agencies milk the absolute hell out of the story's and try their best to, ever so slightly, misdirectthe readers into believing that it only happens in Bali. This is simply not the case. It seems to me that theseincidents are being investigated by the local authorities and my guess is, they will get to the bottom of most of it.Indonesia has some of the best police investigators in the world, some of which have been trained by high levelAustralian squads and don't think for one minute that they will leave one stone unturned with a view to protectingthe interests of Bali. The Balinese have been catering for tourists for many years and the fact that they do things alittle different to the way things are done at home, make no mistake, they seem to get the job done.

There are good and bad elements everywhere and people should exercise common sense when it comes to thingslike home security and personal safety. No different to how they would if they lived on the wrong side of the tracksin Italy, London or Spain. It's the way of the world unfortunately and it's something everyone needs to be aware of.If I had read an article about the traffic in Bali being gridlocked every day during the busy holiday periods, I would

agree and concur whole heartedly, but to slam the islandbecause of a few terrible happenings is wrong as crime andcriminals are everywhere.

Ok folks I hope I haven't offended anyone too heavilyand trust that you all keep reading the Kuta Weekly inearnest each week. I hope the most of you stay safe,happy, healthy and always remember, "he who fails t oplan is planning to fail."

Enjoy your week.

JIMBARANJimbaran is just south of the airport and Kuta. This

was formerly a real backwater of south Bali, just a tinyfishing village with a daily market. That all started tochange in the 1980s and Jimbaran is now home to severalworld class 5 star beach resorts, plus a few moremoderate mid-market hotels.

There is however little in the way of budgetaccommodation and there are also many h igh-end villas inthis area, particularly on the ridges of high ground aboveJimbaran Bay. This has resulted in monikers such as the"Beverly Hills of Bali" or "Millionaire's Row".

The bay itself has a pleasant white sand beachand is very safe for swimming. The three clusters of grilledseafood restaurants on the beach are a major tourist drawin the evenings, as is the truly stunning sunset.

Jimbaran is also home to a Norwegian University,Gateway College, with around 500 students studyingathletics, philosphy, culture, economics and journalism.The school is located in Kedonganan close to Sari SegaraResort and in Jl, Bantas Kau where it also has a small cafe.

Jimbaran has an increasing number of rather chicshops but there is little or no nightlife here. It has theadvantage of being a little closer to Kuta and Seminyakand the cultural highlights of Central Bali.

BALI, LOCATION TO SUIT EVERYONETHE BUKIT

Much has been written about this dusty, aridand rugged area, which forms the southernmost tip of the island.

Limestone cliffs of up to 100 meters inheight provide some of the best views in the

world, along with some deserted white sandybeaches.Everyone wants a piece of this are, from

international hotel chains such as Bvlgari,Versace and Banyan Tree, to establishedresidential villa developers looking for thatperfect plot. The area offers secluded beaches,and exclusivity to name but a few reasons whythis is fast becoming the place to be.

Prices have more than tripled in thearea over last 2 years alone with still plenty ofpotential to be realized, so now is a plan. Only ashort 15 minutes drive fromthe international airport, The Bukit is fast beingreferred to as the new Millionaires Row.

Battening Down the Hatches in BaliBali's Disaster MitigationAgency Put on Alert forSeasonal Weather Havoc

Bali current season ofheavy rains has promptedauthorities to place the BaliDisaster Mitigation Agency

(BPBD) on a state of "highalert" in anticipation offlooding, landslides anddamage caused by highwinds.

The Jakar ta Postquotes the head of the BPBDBali, Dewa Made Indra, whosays he has pu t theEme r g e n cy R e sp o n seSystem (ERS) in Bali on ahigher stance of readiness torespond effectively to anynatural or man-made disaster.Said Indra: ?During this seasonof heavy rains, various naturald isasters wil l l ike ly occur

everywhere, especia l ly invulnerable locations.Heavy rains in North Bali

have caused flooding. BPBDhave responded with aid for the

flood victims in Sawanvillage, Buleleng. Food andkitchen equipment was providedby BPBD.

Indra warned that some

areas of Bali were prone tolandslides, floods and strongwinds citing the regencies ofBuleleng, Bangli, Tabanan andKarangasem as among the areas

most at risk. Flooding is a concernin parts of Bali's capital ofDenpasar due to poor drainage.

In 2010 an integrated crisiscentre was established to mitigate

the effects of disaster on thepublic. Staffed by 45 people, theCrisis Centre operates 24-hourseach day coordinating responsesto developing situations with the

Police; Army; the IndonesianRed Cross; hospitals; theMeteorology, Climatology andGeophysics Agency; andmembers of the generalpublic.

Financed by the Frenchgovernment, the CrisisCentre was built in anearthquake-proof buildingand is equipped with the latesti n m o n i t o r i n g a n dcommunication technology.

T h e p r o v i n c i a lgovernment of Bali has

allocated US$2.1 million in 2013for disaster mitigation plusanother Rp. 10 billion (US$1.02million) to fund the operation ofthe Crisis Centre and to pay for apublic awareness campaign,aimed at disaster-prone regions.


Big surf rolls inResidents of Tibubiu village,Kerambitan, Tabanan werein a panic on Sunday as asudden surge of sea watersimilar to a small tsunami hitthe sea side area. Onemotorcycle was draggedfor several meters andbadly damaged.

The water surge tookplace at around 4pm withlarge waves crashing on theshore and covering the road,which is a distance of morethan 10 meters from thebeach.

The bike was draggeda few meters, but it was savedby people nearby, said resident,Arsana Ketut Yasa. Sea wateralso flooded the stalls on the

waterfront, including thefishermen's boat sheds.

No c as ua l t i es we rereported in the incident.

According to the Chairman

o f t he DPC Indones i anFishermen Association (HNSI) inTabanan, the fierce waves were

triggered by a storm in thesouthern ocean. He also said bigwaves are expected to continue.We've spread a warning to allfishermen. Until next week we

should be alert and waiting forthe weather to improve, hesaid.

Meanwhile, large wavesin coastal areas of Gianyarregency were also reported onSunday afternoon. The peakwave height occurred ataround 3pm. At that time a lotof vacationers and worshiperswere on the beach. Suddenlya big wave crashed on thebeach knocking many peopleoff their feet. The combination

of high tides made it quitetreacherous.

To honour the GodsOn the seventh month of thet r a d i t i o n a l B a l i n e s ecalendar, the people ofSubaya, a small villagein Kintamani, Bangli,honour their guardiandeities with a large

re l ig ious fest i v i tyknown as the NgusabaDesa.

It is an act of bothr e m e m b r a n c e a n dgratitude. In the ritual, theyremember how the i rancestors, a peace-lovingfishing community on theisland's north coast, fled thebeach and sought refuge in thehills of Kintamani to escape thedepredations of pirates.

High above Kintamani,where the fog descends in theevening and the fertile landpromised a bountiful harvest, they

built a new village namedSubaya, derived from the wordsemaya, which means good

promise.It was indeed a good place,

where the people lived peacefullyfor generations, for which theywere grateful.

It is no wonder then that theNgusaba Desa is a festival of joy,

beautiful and colourfulofferings and the men take turnsin presenting warrior dances, from

the lance bearing BarisGede and Jojor to theshield-armed Baris Presiand Dadap.

I t i s a l s o a noccasion for the wholevillage to watch the raredance Kuping dance,which can only beperformed by the village'selders.

At the end, all thevillagers sat together onthe ground, clasping their

hands and offered homage to thevillage's invisible protectors. Thewhole crowd fell silent, only thewind moving in the trees could be

heard, and the fog descendedupon the village.

Police investigate baby for sale online adIndonesian police said theya r e i n v e s t i g a t i n g a nadvertisement offering twobabies for sale at $1,000each after it was spotted onthe popular auctionand shopping website

Tokobagus.com." W e a r e s t i l l

investigating the existenceo f t h e o n l i n eadvertisement," Jakartap o l i c e s p o k e s m a nRikwanto told reporters.

"We have askedTokobagus how theadvertisement came to beposted, for how long, andwhether any transaction wasmade," he added.

The National Commissionfor Child Protection lodged apolice report last week afterspotting the posting, its chairman

Arist Merdeka Sirait said.

"There was a photo of ababy and a telephone number. Wecalled the advertiser and he saidhe wanted to sell two 18-month-olds, a boy and a girl, for Rp 10million ($1,000) each," Sirait said.

"We were negotiating,talking about birth certificateswhen he suddenly hanged up. Wetried contacting him again butfailed," he added.

"This seems to be a new

modus operandi by baby-selling

syndicates. We are veryconcerned and must stop thiscrime against humanity," Siraitsaid, adding that human-traffickers could be jailed from 15to 20 years.

Tokobagus posted anapology on Twitter, sayingthe advertisement was aresult of "pure human errorand was unintentional" andhad been removed.

Indonesians havebeen using local auction andshopping sites to sellanything from cars and

jewellery to body organssuch as kidneys, exploiting aloophole in local laws.Hundreds of advertisements

Ecuador ranked top nation for U.S., CanadianWith its low cost of living,balmy climate and cheapproperty prices, Ecuadorhas been ranked the topf o r e i g n r e t i r e m e n tdest inat ion fo r Nor thAmericans for the fifth

consecutive year.T h e S o u t h

A m e r i c a n n a t i o nbordered by Colombiaand Peru scored thehighest marks in anannual ranking of the bestplaces to retire.

W i t h m o n t h l yestimated living expensesranging from $900 to$ 1 , 4 0 0 , E c u a d o rsu rpassed Panama,Malaysia, Mexico andC o s t a R ica , w h ichrounded out the top fivecountries.

"I think the combination of awelcoming culture, the greatweather, the affordability and itsproximity to the United States allgo together to make it a goodpackage," Dan Prescher, thespecial projects editor for thesurvey said.

"Panama has a lot of thesame things going for it, but it isn'tquite as affordable as Ecuador,"he added in an interview.

The survey analyzed dataa n d i n f o r m a t i o n f r o mcorrespondents in the countriesmost popular with American andCanadian retirees to compile the

results, which were based on ahost of categories, cost of living,climate, property prices,

h e a l t h ca r e , e a se o fi n t e g r a t i o n , r e t i r e m e n tinfrastructure, entertainment andamenities and special benefits forretirees.

A large part of Ecuador'sappeal is how inexpensive it is forretirees. A beer costs just 85cents. A doctor's visit is $25,

roughly the same price as a one-

hour massage."Sen io rs res iden t inEcuador qualify for half-priceentertainment and local transport,discounted airfares and refunds ofsales tax," Prescher added.

Panama, which came in aclose second, won praise for itspensioner visa, which speeds upresidency, retiree discounts onmedicines, entertainment andrestaurants, and its friendlypeople.

Malaysia, the only Asiancountry to make the top five, drewretirees to its shores with itstropical climate, low cost of living

and cheap rents, similar factorsthat boosted Mexico and CostaRica's appeal to retirees.

Most of the better countries

for retirees were Spanishspeaking, including Uruguay,Colombia and Spain. Thailand,which placed ninth, was the onlyother Asian nation to make the topten, thanks to its affordability,exotic locales and outdoorlifestyle.

Although the language maydiffer, Prescher saidretirees adapt easilybecause they usuallychoose a country with aculture familiar to them.

"Most people knowor can learn enoughSpanish to get along," headded.

Malta squeezed inat No. 10, winning pointsfor its very low crime rate,Mediterranean climateand abundance of Englishspeakers. English is the

second language of Malta, whichis a European Union member.

Ireland, France, Portugaland Italy were other EU nationsthat made the ranking of 22countr ies, a long with thePhilippines and New Zealand,which scored the worst for thecost of living, along with France,but ranked high for integration.

"The places that have beenpopular with expats for the lastfive to 10 years tend to stay in therankings unless somethingdrastic happens, a big political oreconomic change," Prescherexplained. (Notice Bali didn't get amention? AJ)

Warne cops one-match ban after Samuels incidentShane Warne says he hasbeen handed a "prettyharsh" penalty followinghis altercation with MarlonSamuels in Sunday night'sBig Bash League match at

the MCG.Warne was banned for onematch and fined $4,500 for hisheated exchange with Samuelsduring the match between theS t a r s a n d t h eRenegades in front ofa record crowd of46,681.

Warne and theMelbourne Stars haved e c id e d a g a in s tappealing the penalty.

A n g r y a tSamuels for havingobstructed team-mateDavid Hussey runningduring the Stars'i n n i n g s , W a r n egrabbed at the WestIndian's shirt duringthe Renegades' runchase and the pairexchanged angrywords.

Moments laterW a r n e , i n a napparently deliberateact, hit Samuels withthe ball when fieldingnear the batsman.

This led Samuels to throw hisbat in the air and invite Warne toengage in an extended physicalexchange.

Warne was charged with fouralleged breaches under CricketAustralia's (CA) code of behaviour,although his fine only related tothree offences.

He was fined $3,000 forengaging in inappropriate anddeliberate physical contact withanother player and $1,000 forusing obscene and offensivelanguage.

A $500 sanction was also

handed down for showingdissent at an umpire's decision buthe was cleared of a charge ofthrowing a ball at a player in aninappropriate or dangerousmanner.

Warne briefly appearedbefore the media on Monday and

expressed his displeasure with thesanctions handed down by CA.

"I'm very conscious about theimage of the game and I'm

disappointed in some of my actionslast night," he said.

" Bu t I ' m a l so p r e t t ydisappointed with the severity ofthe penalties. I think that was pretty

harsh."The Stars will consider their

legal and appeal options in regardto the sanctions.

Samuels has been handedtwo alleged breaches, includingparticipating in "unbecomingbehaviour".

He is still to face hisdisciplinary hearing.

Warne's Stars team-mateCameron White was also charged

decision and given asuspended $1,000 fine.

After the match Warneattempted to play down theincident, preferring to focus onthe result with the Stars havingsuffered a nine-wicket loss totheir cross-town rivals.

"I tried to throw the ball to(wicketkeeper) Bobby Quineyand the next minute I decided toget out of the way of that bat,"

Warne said." I ' m m o r e

disappointed that welost, that was just aheat of the momentthing.

"That's just theway it goes, I hopehe's OK."

T h e l a t e s tincident has again putS a m u e l s i n t h espotlight for the wrong

reasons.A d e l a i d e

Strikers coach DarrenBerry will face a CAdisciplinary hearingfor an argument hehad with with Samuelsp r i o r t o l a s tWednesday night'smatch between thetwo sides.

HINDU CEREMONIES OF BALISARASWATI DAY (HARI RAYA SARASWATI)

Saraswati Day is celebrated on the12thJanuary 2013, the very last day of the BalinesePawukon calendar, being the Saturday of itslast week, Watugunung.

Dewi Saraswati is generally referred to asGoddess of 'Science & Knowledge'.Dewi Saraswati is the female counter-part ofthe Balinese god Dewa Brahma, themanifestation of the Almighty Infinite Spirit asthe Creator.

The spiritual symbolism of SaraswatiThe materialistic world views that

dominate the modern world we live in, havecaused considerable mis-interpretations ofthe religious symbols found in BalineseHinduism. The main reason for this is ageneral loss of the ability to think in'parallels', to communicate in symbols and

analogies. Instead, modern man tends tointerpret most religious symbols literally.Nowadays the Knowledge/Science

symbolized by Saraswati is generallyinterpreted as pure secular, scientificknowledge; at libraries offerings are madefor books and other important writtenmaterials, such as the lontar; books and(written) language are seen as the vesselsof secular, scientific knowledge. At theschools and universities the students prayfor success with their studies. DuringSaraswati Day it is not allowed to read,which can be compared with our 'oneminute silence', in honour of the 'gift' ofbooks and language which enables

mankind to pass on the scientific knowledgethat leads to secular success.

In itself these 'modern' interpretationsdo no harm as far as the importance ofsecular, scientific knowledge for theeducation and development of the worldycareer of the individual is concerned.

However the loss of the originalinterpretation of the religious symbols, theiractual meaning, does serious harm to thespiritual development of the Balinese as an

individual, and to the spiritual progress ofthe Balinese as a people. And since the spiritua lsymbolism is universal, loss of spiritualconsciousness concerns not only the Balinesebut all of mankind, as individuals as well as arace.

Unfortunately, the true Knowledge ofSaraswati, the knowledge of the mathematicalscience that defines the octaves of existence,and which rules and controls the cycles of life ofall manifestations (also referred to as sacredgeometry), and which enables mankind to be atrue Master of his life, is not taught in our schoolsand universities, nor is it taught by our religiousleaders.

New batting coach vital for AustraliaT h e p e r s o n A u s t r a l i achooses to fill the vacant roleof full-time national teambatting coach could be themost important selection ofthe year with the Asheslooming.

T h i s s u m m e r ,A u s t r a l i a ' s b a t t i n gresources have beenrocked to the core both onand off the field.

Nearly 250 matchesworth of Test experiencehave been drained fromt h e l i n e - u p b y t h eret irements of RickyPonting and Mike Hussey.

Not to mention thehuge loss of battingmentor Justin Langer, andnow the departure of his successorStuart Law announced by CricketAustralia on Sunday.

With an Indian seriesbeginning next month before theAshes tour starts in July, the timingof the mass exodus could not beworse.

Captain Michael Clarke hasalready made it clear there is noway of replacing the intellectualproperty that has been lost.

But the next best thing CAcan do is handpick a battingcoach capable of bringing thebest out of a new generation ofbatsmen.

Australia knew they werelosing one of their most valuable

assets when Langer left to takeup the coaching role at WesternAustralia, but the loss of theformer Test opener has beencompounded by the retirementsof Ponting and Hussey.

The batting line-up headinginto India and the Ashes is almostentirely unsettled.

However, the right battingcoach can help ensure young andinexperienced players build theirskills, handle their new

responsibilities and avoidbeing caught in the headlightswhen under pressure.

A permanent specialist is yetto be decided upon, but DeanJones will work with the side for thefirst two one-day internationals

against Sri Lanka startingthis week.

Other former greatsare likely to help outthroughout the rest of theODIs.

"We're yet to finalisethe broader batting coachrole so this opportunity tohave some former playerswith us as specialists duringthe (ODIs) will be invaluablefor our young squad," saidcoach Mickey Arthur."I thank Stuart (Law) for his

outstanding contribution over thepast s ix weeks - we a redisappointed he is not in a positionto consider the full-time role.

"We have quite a young ODIsquad at the moment with a firmeye on the 2015 ICC Cricket WorldCup, so to have the knowledge ofone of Australia's best ever one-day players (Jones) with us for acouple of games will be invaluablefor the group."

Dear Martha,

I spent 2 weeks onholiday in Bali overXmas & New Year; it

was fantastic exceptfor the traffic. Thetraffic in Bali washorrendous in all theusual tourist spots &at Simpang Siur. Itwas in total grid lockin Kuta on New Year'sDay & was consistently slow & hazardous atSimpang Siur whenever we went that way not tomention the airport which was a total disaster! Iappreciate that an underpass & tollway arecurrently under construction, however, will thisreally fix the traffic problem? I would suggest that itis a short term fix & given 3 years it will be back tothe chaotic mess that it is now. Somebodysomewhere has to be accountable for the trafficcongestion that I saw whilst holidaying there, apartfrom it taking 2 hours to get from Jimbaran beachto Kuta (which is totally unacceptable), the roadsare dangerous with bikes & cars vying for 'poleposition' at traffic lights, bikes just pulling outwithout looking & police cars driving on the wrongside of the road with sirens blazing to get throughthe traffic. I can only describe the roads in Bali as amess! There needs to be direction & enforced roadrules from 'the powers that be' to resolve theproblem so that Bali can grow.

Kate

Dear Kate,Couldn't agree with you more dear. The traffic iscertainly worsening on a daily basis & is atrociouswhen there is a national holiday. Perhaps a signerected at all entry points with 'Sorry Bali is full' mightbe the answer?? Although removing all the drunktrouble makers could be a better solution.

Hussey salutes at end of dream careerMichael Hussey says hiswhole career has felt like adream after ending his lastTest match for Australia awinner at the SCG.

A u s t r a l i asuccessfully chased

down the 141 runsrequired to beat SriL a n ka w i t h f i vewickets in hand inSydney and sweepthe series 3-0, withHussey (27 not out) inthe middle to see thehosts home.

The Aussieslost wickets at regularintervals as the crowdrepeatedly chantedfor Hussey to comeout and cap off a fairytale finish toa wonderful Test career, alongsideMitchell Johnson (1 not out).

"I couldn't have dreamed ofit, I can remember when I hadn'teven played and Jason Gillespiesaid to me 'I reckon you've got 50Tests in you, Huss'," he toldGrandstand.

"I laughed at him straight inthe face.

"I said 'no way, mate', I wasalready probably 30 years of age,I would have bitten his hand offright then (to get 50).

"To go on and play 79, to bepart of a World Cup and an Ashes-winning team, that's what it's allabout.

Michael Hussey's Test career

"I've exceeded anything Icould have ever dreamed of, andthe game's given me so much, so Ifeel very fortunate."

Hussey leaves the long formof the game with a sterling record,averaging 51.52 with the bathaving scored 6,235 runs for his

country.He thanked the SCG crowd

was hoping the batsmen abovehim could get the job done withouthim.

"I'm a little bit embarrassedabout [the send-offs], to be honest- the support has just beenoverwhelming," he said.

"I can't believe it and I've gotto thank the Sydney crowd somuch because they've beenabsolutely fantastic.

"There's always pressure,that's what Test cricket is all about.I was hoping not to bat, I washoping we would have got the runsnone down, but it was nice to goout there and be there close to the

" I w a s h o p i n gMichael Clarke and Ed Cowancould get through to tea becausethe crowd were beginning to callfor one of them to get out, and Iwanted to make sure that both of

them stayed there andfinished the job.

"It was great to get out there.I admit I was a bit nervous ... you

just don't want to letanyone down there, andI'm just proud to be out

there."Passing on themantle

Wicke t -keeperMatthew Wade, who hita gutsy 102 in the firstinnings but was bowledout by for 8 in thes e c o n d , l a u d e dHussey's performancesthroughout his careerand said his farewellwas a fitting one.

"What a Testmatch, awesome. It was alwaysgoing to happen like that, MrCricket was ... always going to batout there for the winning runs,"Wade told Grandstand.

"The crowd's been amazing,the whole Test match. [Hussey is]a little bit embarrassed about it, hedidn't want any fuss over him, butunfortunately it was always goingto happen."

Hussey steps away fromTest cricket and, while he has yetto retire from the limited oversgame, he was omitted fromAustralia's squad for the first twoODI matches against Sri Lanka.

But his younger brotherDavid will continue the Husseytradition in Australian gold, withMichael wishing him all the best.

"I hope [David] goes well, it'sa great opportunity for a lot of guysnow around the Australian team,"Hussey said.

"We'll see which one's goingto stand up and take hisopportunity and be part of the nextgeneration of Australian cricket.

"I hope it is [David], he reallywants it, but we'll really have towait and see."

Life and career19852003: Early life and musical beginnings

Bruno Mars was born Peter Gene Hernndez on October 8,1985, in Honolulu, Hawaii, and was raised in the Waikiki neighborhoodof Honolulu. He is the son of Peter Hernndez and Bernadette"Bernie" San Pedro Bayot. His father is of half Puerto Rican and halfJewish (from Hungary and Ukraine) descent, and is originally fromBrooklyn, New York. Mars' mother immigrated to Hawaii from thePhilippines as a child, and is of Filipino and some Spanish descent.His parents met while performing in a show, where his mother was ahula dancer and his father played percussion. At the age of two, hewas nicknamed "Bruno" by his father, because of his resemblance tolegendary professional wrestler Bruno Sammartino.

Mars was one of six children and came from a musical familywho exposed him to a diverse mix of reggae, rock, hip hop, and R&B.In addition to being a dancer, his mother was a singer and his fatherused his musical ability to perform Little Richard rock n roll music.Mars' uncle was an Elvis impersonator, and encouraged three-year-old Mars to perform on stage as well. Mars also performed songs byartists such as Michael Jackson, The Isley Brothers, and TheTemptations. At age four, Mars began performing five days a weekwith his family's band, The Love Notes, in which he became known onthe island for his impersonation of Presley. In 1990, Mars was featuredin MidWeekas "Little Elvis", going on to have a cameo in the filmHoneymoon in Vegas in 1992.

His time spent impersonating Presley had a major impact onMars' musical evolution and performing techniques. He later began

playing guitar after drawing inspiration from Jimi Hendrix. In 2010,he also acknowledged his Hawaiian roots and musical family asan influence, explaining, "Growing up in Hawaii made me the man

I am. I used to do a lot of shows in Hawaii with my father's band.Everybody in my family sings, everyone plays instruments...I've

just been surrounded by it." In 2003, shortly after graduating fromPresident Theodore Roosevelt High School at the age ofseventeen, Mars moved to Los Angeles, California, to pursue amusical career. He adopted his stage name from the nickname hisfather gave him, adding "Mars" at the end because "I felt like Ididn't have [any] pizzazz, and a lot of girls say I'm out of this world,so I was like I guess I'm from Mars."

Scientists spot elusive giant squidScientists and broadcastersin Japan say they havecaptured footage of anelusive giant squid up toeight metres long thatroams the depths of thePacific Ocean.

Japan's National ScienceMuseum succeeded in filming thedeep-sea creature in its naturalhabitat for the first time, workingw i t h J a p a n e s e p u b l i cbroadcaster NHK and the US

Discovery Channel.They spotted the squid at a

depth of 630 metres using asubmersible in July, some 15kilometres east of Chichi island inthe north Pacific Ocean.

The submarine with threepeople on board, includingTsunemi Kubodera from themuseum, followed the enormousmollusc to a depth of 900 metresas it swam into the ocean abyss.

NHK showed footage of thesilver-coloured creature, which hadhuge black eyes, as it swam againstthe current, holding a bait squid in it sarms against the backdrop of darkoceanic depths.

The creature was about threemetres long, but estimated to be aslong as eight metres if its two longarms had not been chopped off,Kubodera said.

"It was shining and sobeautiful. I was so thrilled when Isaw it first hand, but I was confidentwe would because we rigorouslyresearched the areas we might findit, based on past data."

He gave no explanation for itsmissing arms.

He said it was the first videofootage of a live giant squid in itsnatural habitat - the depths of thesea where there is little oxygen.

Kobudera, a squid specialist,also filmed what he says was the

first live video footage of agiant squid in 2006 but only fromhis boat after it was hooked andbrought up to the surface.

He said the two successfulsightings of the squid in 2012 and2006 both in the same area, some1,000 km south of Tokyo,suggesting it could be a majorhabitat for the species.

T h e g i a n t s q u i d ,Architeuthis to scientists, issometimes described as one ofthe last mysteries of the ocean,being part of a world so hostile tohumans that it has been littleexplored.
