Taxation without ConsultationBali Tourism Leaders Complain that US$10 Increase in VOA Introduced without Prior Consultation or Warning

The increase in the Visa-on-Arrival fee (VOA) in Indonesia from US$25 to US$35 dollars is being roundly criticized by many in Bali's tourism industry.

increase in fees was introduced, he said, in the midst of many complaints from Bali visitors about long lines at Bali's airport, unfriendly service from airport w o r k e r s a n d i l l e g a l f e e s demanded by immigration and customs officials.

The chairman of the Bali Tourist Promotion Board (BPPD), Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardana Sukawat i (Cok Ace) , a lso expressed his disappointment with the increase in the cost of the VOA. Saying the timing of the increase was wrong, Cok Ace said any increase should have been preceded with input from the

Bisnis Bali quotes Bagus Surya Dharma, the director of the N u s a D u a B a l i C o n v e x , complaining that the Presidential decree of May 30, 2014 and its implemented one month later was done without consultation with the tourism industry and with little socialization to those affected by the decision.

As a result, many tourists are complaining that they were not informed in advance of the increase in the VOA fee. Similarly, tour companies who have designed packages that include the visa fee have suffered a loss of US$10 due the increased visa fee that they will now have to absorb.

Bagus Surya Dharma, who also serves on the MICE committee (meetings, incentive, conference and exhibition) of the Bali Chapter of the Indonesian Association of Travel Agents (ASITA), said the change in policy was done without any input from tourists or operators in the tourism industry. More to the point, the

tourism industry and sufficient prior notification to tourist visitors,

Cok Ace, who also serves as the chairman of the Bali chapter of the Indonesian H o t e l a n d R e s t a u r a n t Association (PHRI), said the recent influx of tourists diverting from Thailand should not be greeted with an increase in visa fees, but, instead, with a higher

level of service. Complaints are also heard

from many sectors that the millions of dollars collected from VOA fees are all sent to Jakarta with no portion preserved for use by the province of Bali. While some of these revenues come back to Bali in special allocations from the Central Government, disaffection persists from those who claim the amount of money sent back to Bali is disproportionately small in comparison to the amount collected in Bali.

Kuta Weekly News Corner17 Jul - 23 Jul 2014 (397)

Gday again folks and what a week it's been on the island. This past seven days has seen the world cup final played out with Germany and the Argentineans battling it out for a full game and an eventual win being had in the first lot of extra time. The Germans, I think where extremely lucky to lift the cup and I'm sure they will still be partying now. All I know is most people were a bit slow on Monday morning from staying up and watching the game. At the end of the day 3.00am is way too early to start drinking beer with German friends in Bali, no

matter what the reason. Well done to the German team for their win and congratulations to all our German friends.

One of the biggest things that's happened over the last few weeks is the elections that have been run in Indonesia. I can safely say that in my almost 25 years living on the archipelago and watching several elections pass us by, this would have to be the one that has generated the most interest amongst the locals and expats. I have made it a point to not have this little newspaper become a political platform and it never ever will, but in this instance, I will say that almost everyone you speak with, from taxi drivers to the cleaning staff at McDonalds, has an opinion on this one. May the best man win and the Country get the direction that is best for it, over the next four year period.

Moving forward this week also sees the school holidays kick in to full swing with the roads and tour desks copping a beating. It's a great time of year to visit the island at the moment with the temperature being a little cooler and not so muggy along with one of the best benefits being the strength of the Aussie dollar. It's a great time to exchange a few bucks and head out and do some shopping. Your dollar goes that much further when you get a good rate. My advice is to make hay while the sun is shining and grab a few extra dollars worth before it drops down to a more normal level. Given the dollar is at such a good level it is a really good time to actually look at buying that second home or holiday house that the family has always talked about in Bali. There are so many options available and ready to suit every budget. If you're even thinking about it, I suggest you just start by making a call to an agent at the very least. We have a few real estate places at the back of the paper and we have had nothing but good reports from people that have actually done business with them, so it's probably the best place to start. I'm sure if you mention the Kuta Weekly advert they will try their best to get you a good deal. Thanks to Miss Tracy at “Bali Cool Property” and Mr Faye at ”Fayes Real Estate” for the ongoing support.

Lastly, Ramadan is almost over for another year which means the Idul Fitri celebration period is almost here. I think we have about 10 days to go before the time and we are all looking forward to the holiday period. For those that don't understand, let me try to explain in my basic way, this time of year is when our Islamic mates have just done a month's fasting, and reflecting on the many good things in life and now is when they relax and really enjoy their families, friends and all the fantastic things this life has to offer. It is almost like our New Year Celebrations which is a time to forgive and forget and move forward in a positive way. I find it a really very humbling thing to have it explained to me in a way that I can understand and I trust all our Muslim mates enjoy the time.

Ok folks that's about my lot for the week, so I will let you go back to whatever it is you do in paradise and would hope you all try your very best to remember, I am an acquired taste and if you don't like me, acquire some taste.

Enjoy Your Week,

ALIASJ……..

Indonesia Preparing to Require Pla in P a c k a g i n g f o r Alcoholic Beverages

Indonesia's Ministry o f Trade i s d ra f t ing legislation that will require “plain packaging” for a l c o h o l i c b e v e r a g e s containing between 20-55% alcohol and sold at hotels.

The legislation, if it comes into effect, will apply to both domestic and i m p o r t e d a l c o h o l i c beverages.

As reported by NusaBali, t h e M i n i s t e r o f T r a d e Muhammad Lutfi is keeping details of the legislation secret. The Indonesian legislation

would follow a trend in o ther na t ions , such as Aus t ra l i a , f o r c i ga re t t e packaging that is intended to reduce consumer appeal for potentially harmful products.

A l c o h o l i c b e v e r a g e s s o l d i n Indonesia is divided into three categories:

G r o u p A : Containing less than 5% alcohol

G r o u p B : Containing between 5-20% alcohol.

G r o u p C : Containing more than 20% alcohol.

According to the Director General of Domestic Trade, Sri Augustina, told the press

that the governor of Bali has the right to control the distribution of a lcohol ic beverages v ia provincial regulations.

Lined Up for Take Off TigerAir Mandala to Close July 1, 2014.

Indonesian Low-Cost Tigerair Mandala Closes Blaming High Operating Costs and Depreciating Rupiah

Indonesian Air C a r r i e r T i g e r a i r M a n d a l a h a s announced that they will cease operations effective July 1, 2014, b l a m i n g h i g h operating costs and the deprec ia t ion o f the Indonesian Rupiah as major contributing factor in their closure.

Tigerair Mandala will operate its last flight in the form of RI 545 flying from Hong Kong to Denpasar on July 1, 2014 that will depart Hong Kong at 2:35 am. There will be no other flights operated by the airline on that date or thereafter.Passengers holding tickets on

Tigerair Mandala for flights that will no longer operate

Sriwijaya Air Seeking to Assume Old TigerAir Mandala Routes

The commercial director of Sriwijaya Air, Hasundungan Pandiangan, told NusaBali that the Airline has formally filed a request with the Indonesian Civil Aviation Department to be allowed to take over the domestic air routes abandoned with the closure of Tigerair Mandala Airlines.

Sriwijaya Air has filed its application with the Ministry of T r a n s p o r t a t i o n , a f a c t confirmed by Hasundungan on

Tuesday, July 8, 2014.Sriwijaya Air has asked

for permission to take over the f o r m e r T i g e r a i r Manda la r ou tes operating between Y o g y a k a r t a -P a l e m b a n g , Y o g y a k a r t a -P e k a n b a r u a n d Y o g y a k a r t a -Singapore.

Hasundungan told the press that the entire aviation

industry in Indonesia was saddened by the closure of Tigerair Mandala. Adding: "This (closure) shows there is something wrong with the condi t ion of Indonesia 's aviation industry and how it is regulated. We are optimistic that we can become an airline that will continue to healthily develop."

The Sriwijaya Air official said the new routes have been carefully researched by the Airline in terms of market demand that remains strong.

A Chinese Cultural RevolutionThe People 's R e p u b l i c o f China (PRC) has o p e n e d a C o n s u l a t e General in Bali.

H e a d e d b y Consul General Hu Yin Quan, the Bali Consulate is the third PRC Consulate in I n d o n e s i a a f t e r S u r a b a y a a n d Medan.

In 2013, 387,533 PRC nationals visited Bali in 2013. For the period January – April 2014 there were 191,433 PRC nationals visit Bali, a number 49.85% ahead of the same period in 2013.

The PRC Consulate is

Bali Governor Pastika welcome the PRC Consulate in Bali, saying the consulate will help enhance diplomatic relations between Bali and the PRC. In this regard, Bali has already established sister-city

Pastika said he h o p e d t h e establishment of a PRC Consulate in Bali would improve Bali's image in China and h e l p c u r b unscrupulous tour p r o g r a m s b e i n g marketed to Chinese tourists.

targeted in burg lar ies, particularly on rural properties, and are being carried by erratic criminals under the influence of crystal methamphetamine.

The data, obtained by Fairfax Media's Ballarat Courier, showed while the vast majority of people with guns use them for hunting (137,465) and target shooting (40,692), firearms are also legitimately used for performing arts, re-enactments (285) and historical collection (635).

Victorians own almost 700,000 firearms including machine guns, rocket launchers and even cannons.

Victoria Police says there are more than 690,000 firearms registered in the state, roughly equivalent of one firearm for every nine people. More than half are rifles and almost a third are shotguns, but there are also 821 machine guns, 118 cannons and 27 rocket launchers.

Among established postcode areas, Collingwood is among those with the highest number of firearms registered – more than 19,000, or about three guns for each person living there.

The gun map of VictoriaA Victoria Police spokeswoman

said that statistic included dealers, companies and organisations as well as individual licence holders, but Fairfax Media understands the police armory is in Collingwood and could account for the high number.

The statistics come at a time when police have warned registered firearms are increasingly being

One gun for every nine people in VictoriaThat could explain why there

are five cannons in each of Wodonga, Shepparton and Lakes Entrance, where local police said they were used for re-enactments.

Police and gun experts also suspected that most of the 821 machine guns in Victoria are not working guns and owned by collectors, while the 11 rocket launchers in Chadstone are deact ivated and owned by collectors, police said.

Mike Spray, operations manager for the state's Sporting Shooters Association, said: "The statistics don't surprise me at all.''

"There's an enormous amount of activity out there, every weekend there's activity on the ranges and activity in the hunting areas. The amount of activity is statistically right up there with high-profile sports like mountain biking."

He said the state's gun licensing laws, which require people to prove they have a "genuine reason" and undergo t r a i n i n g , a r e " c o m p l e t e l y adequate".

"The very, very vast majority of people who possess and use firearms in Victoria are responsible people and it would a shame for the criminal fraternity who steal guns and put a dampener on those people who use them legitimately and safely."

Getting stranded on the runway when your flight gets hit with last-minute delays is enough to fray the temper of even the most sanguine flier.

But passengers o n o n e s e v e r e l y delayed flight this week found themse lves having an altogether m o r e u p l i f t i n g experience, when the pilot ordered pizza for the entire plane.

The Frontier Airlines flight was flying from Washington DC to Denver when bad weather forced the plane to land in Wyoming.

After languishing on the runway for an hour as passengers grew increasingly agitated the pilot made the surprise announcement.

"He said: 'ladies and

gentleman, Frontier Airlines is known for being one of the cheapest airlines in the US, but your captain is not cheap I just ordered pizza for the entire plane,'".

The plane was reported to have erupted in applause, and soon after around 50 pizzas were delivered to the plane while it stood on the tarmac.

Another passenger, Nadia

Kouri, tweeted: "Bad news: my Denver flight was sent to WY due to this storm. Good news: the pilot ordered pizza!"

Pilot Gerhard Bradner, who paid for the pizzas with his own money, he initially d e c i d e d t o c a l l Dominos to satisfy his own hunger, before placing the mammoth order instead.

" I f the need arises you need to take care of your

family; you need to take care of your passengers. They are my responsibility the moment they step on the aircraft until they get off the aircraft," he said.

The plane eventual ly arrived at its destination five hours later than scheduled, but, if current reports are to be believed, everyone on board was satisfied.

NRL fans, Steve Mortimer demand return to contested scrums after Warriors success against Eels

NRL fans have spoken. They love contested scrums and want to see more of them.

The response to the Warriors scoring a try after winning the ball by pushing through a Parramatta scrum has been overwhelming.

So much so that on a day when the World Cup final was played, foxsports.com.au had more than double the visitors to watch video of Saturday's contested scrum than it had to watch highlights of the world game's showpiece event.

And the people loved what they saw with 96 per cent of t h e 5 , 5 0 0 participants in a poll voting that they'd like to see more pushing in scrums.

In the old days, no player on a rugby league field lived for the scrum more than the hooker, bu t a t t i t u d e s h a v e changed so much that one of the best of them in modern times can think of nothing worse than a return to the days when the scrum was a genuine contest.

Manly's two-time premiership hooker Matt Ballin enjoyed the novelty of the Warriors' surprise tactic on Saturday but when asked would he like to see more of it, answered; “not really”.

“I don't want to be squashed in the scrum by those big blokes,” Ballin laughed.

“Everyone just comes to the scrum for a break at the moment. The Warriors obviously thought about it and put it on and it worked for them.”

Ballin believes a return to the past would be the catalyst for messy scrums and a massive increase in stoppages, side-effects that might dampen the fans' enthusiasm for change.

But like many fans, former champion halfback Steve Mortimer considers the current set up an “insult to the intelligence, and the integrity of NRL members and supporters” and is pushing to see that change.

“The scrum is a part of the DNA of both rugby union and rugby league,” Mort imer told foxsports.com.au.

“The difference at the moment is that rugby union have got theirs together and in rugby league

the formation of the scrum is an absolute insult to the intelligence, and the integrity of NRL members and supporters.

“Of all the massive changes since Super League, there's been some good changes and there's been some absolutely horrid changes and this is one of those horrid changes.

“Right now the scrum is an embarrassment. It looks absolutely shabby to the people watching the game and it's an insult to the integrity and the

intel l igence of r u g b y l e a g u e supporters.

“We need to get the players involved in the scrum contesting it again and the way to do that is by bringing back the differential penalty.”

M o r t i m e r s a y s b y p e n a l i s i n g h a l f b a c k s f o r

failing to feed the ball between the opposing frontrows, players and coaches would be forced to relearn the art of scrummaging.

“If I threw the ball in and got penalised and the other side's two points behind — they get a shot to score a try and win the game,” Mortimer explains, clarifying that the differential penalty would not allow teams to take a shot at goal.

“That would force the halfback to feed the ball between the front-rowers.

“You might see a lot of differential penalties until the players got better at it but it would add more excitement to the game and bring a purpose back to the scrum.”

And if other teams aren't prepared to give it a go, at the very least they'll have to be on guard when they face the Warriors, with coach Andrew McFadden admitting his side trains for it.

“It's something we do every now and then, a bit of scrummaging. It's not something we put a whole lot of time into,” McFadden told New Zealand broadcaster Radiosport after Saturday's success.

“The boys obviously saw an opportunity at that point in the game and we just wanted to get the ball back. The fact that we got the try was just a bonus.”

Collingwood president Eddie McGuire fires back at Sydney chairman Andrew Pridham

COLLINGWOOD president E d d i e M c G u i r e h a s q u e s t i o n e d A n d r e w P r i d h a m ' s f o o t b a l l credentials after the new Swans' chairman referred to him as “the equivalent of Clive Palmer”.

“I'm not sure he could draw a football, let alone knows much about the competition,” McGuire told The Daily Telegraph.

“At least in my s t o u s h e s w i t h ( f o r m e r S w a n s chairman) Richard Colless there was a bit of cut and thrust, b u t t h i s b l o k e (Pridham) has just turned up.

“I've given 17 years of unpaid s e r v i c e ( t o C o l l i n g w o o d ) p r o m o t i n g t h e game, my club and trying to promote other clubs. I wouldn't know this bloke if I fell over him.”

P r i d h a m l a u n c h e d a s c a t h i n g a t t a c k o n t h e omnipresent McGuire claiming he “dominated the agenda for reasons of self-interest” and that no one dared keep him to account.

Pridham, an investment banker who had been on the Swans board for 12 years before succeeding Colless, also referred patronis ingly to McGuire 's professional roles, saying: “We all know that being a footy club president and a game show host and football commentator is a very important occupation, but it's going a bit far when you start talking about the national interest”.

The Swans have been stung

by the loss of their 9.8 per cent “cost of living allowance'' which was removed after they flaunted their hefty salary cap advantage by recruiting high-priced forwards Kurt Tippett and Lance Franklin in successive seasons.

T h e a l l o w a n c e w a s scrapped after objections by many Melbourne clubs and McGuire claimed that he had fought to ensure it was phased out gradually r a t h e r t h a n t a k e n a w a y immediately as some had insisted.

McGuire was unrepentant about his role in “creating a level playing field for all teams”. “Everyone knew COLA (the cost of living allowance) was a croc. We knew that 10 years ago.”

More recently, Victorian clubs have questioned the

that will allow them to develop and gain access to the still limited number of top-flight players from Sydney.

The Swans claim Victorian clubs have a similar advantage with the large number of players that come from local schools and who want to remain in Melbourne.

But McGuire says that p a r t i c i p a t i o n r a t e s i n V i c t o r i a n s s c h o o l s a r e declining and, with it, the prime source of talent for the AFL. “We need to be doing something about the game in the heartland region and for the clubs that are paying their own way, not just the ones that are living off it.”

Earlier, on his Triple-M radio

show, McGuire claimed the Swans failure to develop the game in S y d n e y h a d l e d t o t h e establishment of the Giants. Yet the Swans had voted against the Giants' establishment.

“When you talk about developing the game on a national level, Collingwood and all the others voted for GWS to come in, but there was one team who fought harder than anyone — in fact the only opposition to it — was the Swans,” he said. “They are the greatest protectors of their self interest that God's put breath into it.”

Fittingly given the level of banter to which the debate descended, McGuire finished his radio segment by saying “get stuffed Sydney”.

Australian Kyle Noke will take on Yoshihiro 'Sexyama' Akiyama at UFC Fight Night 52 in Japan

STEVE Irwin's former bodyguard Kyle Noke will make his return to the Octagon in September against Japanese MMA s u p e r s t a r Yo s h i h i r o “Sexyama” Akiyama.

The Aussie (20-7-1), coming off a loss to Patrick Cote at The Ultimate Fighter finale back in April, desperately needs a victory to ensure he retains his UFC contract. Before that, a 45-second TKO win over Charlie Brenneman halted a two-fight losing streak for the 34-year-old.

Akiyama's form has also been patchy, with just one win in five bouts

under the UFC banner. H o w e v e r , t h r e e o f t h o s e performances earned the 39-year-old a Fight of the Night bonus — and he remains a legend in his home country of South Korea and his adopted home of Japan.

An Asian Games gold

his own reality TV show, Superman Is Back. Despite being married to model Shiho Yano, Akiyama continues to boast a huge female fan base — one that's made his “Sexyama” nickname well-earned.

Noke and Akiyama will square off at the Saitama Super Arena on a card that's headlined by heavyweights Mark Hunt and

Roy Nelson.Hunt, who is from New

Zealand but fights out of Sydney, has a huge following in Japan. In his early career the “Super Samoan” competed under the now defunct Pride FC banner.

ULTIMATE Fighting Championship president Dana White could never stomach the idea of a female throwing punches inside the Octagon.

Three years ago, as he left his favourite Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles, White said he'd never allow any female to step a foot inside the cage.

Fast forward to today and 27-year-old Ronda Rousey is one of the UFC's biggest and most marketable stars.

She's the current women's bantamweight title holder and yesterday retained her crown with a 16-second knockout win over Alexis Davis at UFC 175 in Las Vegas.

That 16 seconds netted Rousey a cool $120,000 — and nine stitches to her knuckle — making her the highest paid female on the roster.

Far from his comments almost three years ago, White said: “She's important to women's sport, period.

“(Rousey's win) was just so explosive and crazy and fast and just,

you know, she's unbelievable.“She's a huge superstar, she's

one of the pound-for-pound best fighters in the world, and she's the most unique athlete that I've ever worked with in my whole life in every sense of the word.”

Rousey made history in early 2013 when she fought Liz Carmouche in the very first women's UFC fight.

Her following grew when she was appointed as head coach opposite Strikeforce rival Miesha Tate on the hit reality TV series The Ultimate Fighter (TUF).

After the series Rousey defended her belt against Tate with a submission win in the third round.

At UFC 170 in February Sara McMann lasted just over a minute before she was submitted too.

And Rousey's win yesterday was her 10th straight MMA win and fourth in the UFC. She has never lost a fight.

White told MMA Weekly late last year that he never would have opened up to the idea of females in the

UFC if it weren't for Rousey.“You could line up all the

greatest girls on Earth from here to Pluto, and she's the one that when I met her I said, 'This chick is insanely competitive and just a different animal.' And she's what it took to get women in the UFC,” White said.

“Hate her or not, the reason why all these girls fight in the UFC is because of her.

“Ronda Rousey is a different animal. She's a different animal.”

* In the main event at UFC 175 Chris Weidman defended his middleweight title against Lyoto Machina in a five-round battle.

Former WEC champ Urijah Faber submitted Alex Caceres in the third round while heavyweights Stefan Struve and Matt Mitrione never made it to the cage after a late cancellation.

* In today's TUF 19 Finale, Frankie Edgar beat BJ Penn for the third time, finishing fight in the third round with a TKO.

Penn retired immediately after the fight. It was his third straight loss.

Sydney Roosters to don Captain America jerseys when they take on 'Ironman' Dragons

in superhero Round 21

ALL your favourite NRL players will be shedding their footballer identities and becoming superheroes with Captain America and Ironman going head-to-head in a clash not to be missed.

The Sydney Roosters will become a team of Captain Americas when they play St. George Illawarra who will wear an Ironman jersey designed exclusively by ISC in Round 21.

Roosters captain Anthony Minichiello can't wait to wear the red, white and blue but of a different nature.

“I love it Captain America is red, white and blue similar to the Roosters so I think it fits in perfectly,” Minichiello said.With kids loving the Marvel Superheros thanks to movies like The Avenger's, Minichiello believes this is a perfect opportunity to engage children in the game.

“A lot of little kids look up to NRL players and Roosters players and having that attachment to a Marvel superhero as well it adds a bit more excitement.

“It's a great concept and I'm really looking forward to the game.”

While the Dragons may be turning in Ironmen, Minichiello says the Roosters are ready to channel their inner Captain America and walk away with the win.

“So many people are into the characters so no doubt there will be a bit of banter going on that week with Captain America versing Ironman.

“Of course we think Captain America can win!“It's going to be a tough game against the

dragons but hopefully we can get the upper hand over Ironman,” he said.

Manly will be departing from their traditional

maroon and white kit and will be in Wolverine yellow for a night when they take on the Brisbane Broncos at Brookevale Oval.

The Raiders will be a green machine of a different kind in a Hulk inspired jerseys while the Cowboys become Thor.

Used tyres driving a solution to pollutionIFW Recycling Corporation sees a clear opportunity in the polluted skies over China's industrial cities. According to CNN, inhabitants of Beijing are “choking as smog levels hit heavy or even worse levels.” I r o n i c a l l y , C h i n a i s simultaneously one of the world's biggest contributors to environmental pollution and largest producers of green energy technology.

Unfortunately for China, most of that technology is exported. As pollution problems continue to worsen, governments around the world are looking for any solution to solve their waste management problems. This is particularly true in countries like China that rely on coal fired plants to generate electricity. The problem of air pollution is becoming critical to the health of the population and driving investments to clean up the air, water and land.Problem to Potential

Wikipedia states that every year, over 260 million used tires end up in landfills across the world. In addition to the space they consume in the landfill, the tires contaminate groundwater and create toxic clouds of black grime when they ignite. Some jurisdictions purposely burn the tires in an effort to generate electricity.

The problems associated wi th used t i res have been accumu la t i ng fo r decades . According to Infohouse.com, over 75 percent of used tires end up in landfills every year. These tires are seen by most as an ever expanding problem, but to IFW Recycling Corporation these tires represent a clean, green and efficient source of fuel.

IFW Recycling Corporation produces usable diesel fuel by gasifying the tires, while creating zero pollution and using 100 percent of the by-product (ash, carbon black and distil led water) all with staggering revenue, cash flow and profit results. Not only does the

process remove the tires from being discarded as waste, the resulting products can be used by industry.Difficult Disposal

Tires are difficult to dispose of because they don't easily break down to become anything useful. Tires can be recycled for use on basketball courts and new shoe products. The material recovered from disposed tires, called "crumb," is generally only used as a low-cost mixing material. It is rarely used in large volumes.

Up to now, any effort to recover the raw constituents used to create tires has been inefficient, as more fuel is needed to recycle the tire than is used to make a new one. There has been progress in converting the refuse and using old tires as raw ingredients for new construction materials. However, the best solution may be to burn the tires and extract the residue from them.Tires as Fuel

T h e E n v i r o n m e n t a l Protection Agency EPA, on their website, says, “The use of tire-derived fuels is a viable alternative to the use of fossil fuels.”

The report goes on to say, “Tires deliver 25 percent more energy than coal, with an emission profile of greenhouse gases and other pollutants that is about the same, making them acceptable as an industrial fuel.”

The innovators at IFW Recycling Corporation have taken this technology to another level. The company has created a way to recycle tires called Direct Slow Pyrolysis, 2nd generation DSP2™. Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. This process breaks down the tires into its usable base materials.

The DSP2™ process differs from other similar though inferior technologies by producing zero emissions while creating highly a marketable commodity.

Furthermore, their re-engineered and fine-tuned DSP2™ process has addressed and eliminated the inefficiencies and inadequacies of other pyrolysis methods.Tire Resources

IFW Recycling Corporation does more than just burn the tires for fuel. The DSP2™ process breaks down the tires and creates usable diesel fuel as a byproduct of the recycling. This creates a cleaner source of fuel that can be used to power the recycling equipment or sold as a separate revenue generator.

This fuel is in addition to the ash, carbon black and distilled water that are created from the slow controlled decomposition of the used tires. The resulting products add an additional stream of revenue and power generation in addition to cleaning up the toxic mess that accumulates in landfills.Cleaner Air

B e c a u s e t h e n e w technology from IFW Recycling Corporat ion resul ts in zero emissions the process is ideal for countries and cities that have air quality problems. In particular, a city such as Beijing would benefit from replacing coal fired electricity generation with green zero emission energy production.

The rise of China as an economic power has resulted in smog and pollution levels that are threatening the health of the people living in industrial cities. In Shijiazhuang the largest city in China's Hebei province, levels of tiny particles called reached 575 parts per million, and the measure of larger particles hit 843 parts per million. Health authorities say 25 parts per million is the safe level for humans.

The disposal of tires, once a growing problem, could now be the source of clean, reusable power generation and profit. Companies like IFW Recycling Corporation are at the forefront of a whole new way of looking at green technology.

Living the Bali DreamLast week The Weekly printed a story about a couple mates over 70 years old from Perth who with some younger friends were cycling to Candi Dasa. Well they made the trip and had a ball on the way. The pushies all arriving before the “Motor Cycle” back up. Our host Tyo made us very welcome with drinks and a wonderful evening meal, much enjoyed by all which took away most of our aches & pains. After an early night we were ready and taking a few Greenies away we went to a beautiful little beach called White Sand Beach, not a tourist destination but beautiful for swimming with nice warungs for eating.

Back to the digs for showers and a few more Greenies then ready for a nights relaxation, played pool, chatted with all and sundry from many countries mostly Candi locals. But a few outsiders and some interesting indo ' s and o f

course sunk a few more greenies.

Next morning it was time to get saddled up again and head back home. Don't know if our trip down had been noticed by many, but on our ride back many people called out hello's and quite often sellers on the road side waiting for word cheered us on many offering to sell us petrol. At the brief afterward I think we all agreed. The experience was well worth the sore bums and tired legs and we saw many things most tourists. Don't hear about.

Many thanks to all, …..Cliffy…Franky….Colin….Made…John (Rigers) kiwi…Bob…Gidy (Back up motorride)Special thanks to…Tyo (Hostest)….Gary (Assistant and Photographer)

A trip to remember and talk about ….Saw The Real “Bali” and it's people.

Plant kills up to 98% of cancer cells and stops diabetesI'm always looking for natural substances that throw a "monkey wrench" into the peculiar metabolism of cancer cells. It's vital these substances kill cancer cells and leave normal cells untouched.

I've told you about some of my discoveries in the past. They include resveratrol, green tea, Seanol, and others. But today I'm going to tell you about another plant that safely starves cancer cells as efficiently as a powerful chemo drug. In fact, it even works on pancreatic cancer cells, which are particularly difficult to kill.

This plant is a common vegetable from Asia called "bitter melon." It is popular among the long-lived population of Okinawa, Japan.

Bitter melon juice diluted to just 5% in water showed remarkable potency in severely damaging all four pancreatic cancer cell lines researchers tested. The bitter melon reduced the viability of two cancer cell lines by 90%, while it knocked off the other two lines by a staggering 98%. And it did so after just 72 hours of treatment!

In the past, I've told you about apoptosis. That's nature's way of dealing with wayward cells. They simply kill themselves. Bitter melon juice induced this programmed cell death along several different pathways. And even better, it also activated a pathway, which shows that it knocks out the cancer cells' metabolism of glucose. In other words, it literally starved them of the sugar they need to survive.

Do these lab dish studies apply to living animals? A resounding yes! University of Colorado researchers gave

mice bitter melon at doses easily achievable in humans. The animals had a 64% reduction in pancreatic tumor size without side e f fec ts ! Th i s l eve l o f effectiveness beat the most commonly used chemo drugs for this lethal cancer.

The dose used in mice translates to 6 grams of powder for an average-sized adult (75 kg). Big Pharma is rushing to find patentable

petrochemicals to achieve what God put into the bitter melon fruit. It baffles Big Pharma that a simple plant can starve cancer cells of their fuel. You don't need any fancy chemicals to make it happen.

What's more, the actions of bitter melon may help diabetics as well. Researchers recently found that bitter melon ameliorates metabolic syndrome by its beneficial effects on glucose metabolism.

This is wonderful news. We won't beat cancer by any one approach. I believe it must be multifocal. In other words, beef up the immune system, detoxify, eliminate dental infections and toxic dental materials, alkalinize your body, oxidize the body with oxidation therapy, and give specific nutrients to throw a monkey wrench into cancer's peculiar metabolic pathways.

All cancer cells show disturbed energy production utilizing inefficient glucose fermentation. Bitter melon may be a huge pipe wrench to uncouple cancer's wayward energy production. You can find bitter melon at most health food stores and online.

Yours for better health and medical freedom,

Robert J. Rowen, MD REF: Science News, 3-12-2013.

Elephant cries as it is freed after 50 yearsAn An Indian elephant that spent 50 years c h a i n e d u p a n d abused was said to have cried when it was freed by rescuers last week.

R a j u t h e b u l l elephant spent most of its life with chains covered in spikes wrapped around his ankles, which left it with arthritis and in chronic pain.

Allegedly held by a drug-addicted owner who used the beast to beg, Raju had been living on paper and plastic to fill its stomach according to reports.

Raju is now walking freely since conservationist activists made a daring night rescue following a court order from Uttar Pradesh Forest Department to remove the elephant from its abusive owner.

Aided by police and state

officials, the activists rescued the animal despite its handler and previous owner adding more chains to its legs and blocking roads to prevent its escape.

Rescuers worked for hours to gain the destitute Raju's trust, feeding it fruit to cajole it into a truck where they could carry it to freedom.

When Raju was being freed, rescuers from the UK charity Wildlife SOS saw tears rolling from its eyes.

"The team were astounded to see tears roll down his face during the rescue. It was so incredibly emotional for all of us," animal activist Pooja Binepal said.

"We knew in our hearts he realized he was being freed," he said.

The rescuers said elephants were intelligent animals that experienced e m o t i o n s , b u t t h e

char i ty 's co-founder Kart ick Satyanarayan said in this case it was "as if he felt hope for the first time in a very long time".

Poachers are said to trap elephants while they are babies, either shooting the mother or leaving it to grieve for days.

The activists said they baby elephants are then beaten until they submit to their owners, effectively breaking their spirits.

Smelling farts is good for your health in a statement that researchers

are even replicating the natural gas in a new compound, AP39, to reap its health benefits.

The next time someone at your office lets out a "silent but deadly" emission, maybe you should thank them.

A new study at the University of Exeter suggests that exposure to hydrogen sulfide a.k.a. what your body produces as bacteria breaks down food, causing gas could prevent mitochondria damage. Yep, the implication is what you're thinking. People are taking the research to mean that smelling farts could prevent disease and even cancer.

The study, published in the M e d i c i n a l C h e m i s t r y Communications journal, found that hydrogen sulfide gas in rotten eggs

and flatulence could be a key factor in treating diseases.

"Although hydrogen sulfide gas is well known as a pungent, foul-smelling gas in rotten eggs and f la tu lence, i t is naturally produced in the body and could in fact be a healthcare hero with significant implications for future therapies for a variety of diseases," Dr. Mark Wood, a professor at the University of Exeter, said in a statement.

Whi le hydrogen sulfide gas is harmful in large doses, the study suggests that "a whiff here and there has the power to reduce risks of cancer, strokes, heart attacks, arthritis, and dementia by preserving mitochondria," Time reports. Dr. Matt Whiteman, a University of Exeter professor who worked on the study, said

17 Jul - 23 Jul 2014Aries Mar 21 - Apr 20We all know the saying about answers to questions 'being right beneath our nose' but the main reason we fail to see what we're supposed to see surrounds us getting far too close to or involved with some problems. For some time, you've been unable to step back and take proper stock of an area of your world that has sorely needed your attention. This week, you do precisely that to this neglected area and to say a lifelong improvement can be implemented is no exaggeration. It's time to address what has been in need of addressing for some time.

Taurus Apr 21 - May 21Is something worth the effort? Is someone worth the effort? What are your chances of success with either? Is failure something you ought to be preparing yourself for? Ok, let's hold fire on the questions. I strongly suspect you're asking such questions yourself. You want to know where you stand with certain situations and individuals. You want reassurance that further effort is worth making. This week, you can expect answers and many of these promise to be reassuring. Be willing to hear someone's side of a story.

Gemini May 22 - Jun 22One popular argument people offer about astrology being hogwash is 'how can one twelfth of the world's population experience the same things? People in prison can't experience what others are free to experience'. That's a true statement. To experience opportunities, we have to allow ourselves to be in a position to identify and seize them. It's essential you're open minded enough to seize those on offer to you now. All they ask is for willingness on your part to embrace those that worthy of embracing. Trust that they do exist now and some are more than ideal.

Cancer Jun 23 - Jul 23Should you say something to a certain person? You know how aware of your thoughts on a certain sensitive matter they are. Maybe you should do something? Someone would not take kindly to you physically restraining them but can you just sit back and let someone make what you believe to be a big mistake? Actually, you really can relax. You have reservations you feel are justified. Stand back and prepare to be surprised and then reassured. What you think about a situation is about to be taken into account.

Leo Jun 24 - Aug 23We are constantly told to 'think positively'. When we hear such words said to us, we often wonder how much the person saying them truly believes them. In our hearts, we understand that thinking positively is always better than dwelling on what's negative. It's important this week to recognize how a positive shift in attitude can bring about pleasing developments. You are owed good reasons to feel optimistic. All you need to do is alter a few set-in-stone negative expectations and be willing to accept help or support from certain people who are keen to offer it.

Libra Sep 24 - Oct 23We all know how easy or difficult it can be to summon 'physical strength'. We can assess accurately how much will be needed for physical exertion. Summoning inner strength can be very different. That's where we often get our assessment wrong. Expect, very soon, to be required to summon inner strength and patience. The task won't be easy but neither will it be one you stand any chance of failure doing. Be strong and you'll make something truly special happen for yourself and someone close to you.

Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 22Anyone who has taken a dog for a walk that was not the least bit interested in being walked knows how the animal will resist to the point of practically choking itself. We're unsure if the dog does it to help make its point or discovers that resistance had an unexpected or unpleasant side-effect. This week, it's time to consider why you're reluctant to embrace a particular change. It's also important to recognize how you might be doing yourself a disservice from being so reluctant! Go with the flow, as they say. Be flexible and see what happens.

Sagittarius Nov 23 - Dec 21This week requires you to ask yourself an important question. This surrounds where your time and effort are best invested. Why is this week any different in that respect? You could end up involving yourself in situations that you really ought to let others either deal or come to terms with before you involve yourself in any way. Proverbial water needs to pass under a bridge before you should become involved. You need to allow a certain person to get a few things clear in their mind before you can commit or involve yourself. Let the coming week bring such results.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 20It's interesting how the saying 'seeing eye to eye' can have two different meanings. Think, for example, how boxers square up to each other before a fight. A second meaning surrounds agreement. This week, the cosmos is determined to help you and a certain person reach a new level of understanding. It's time you and you-know-who either buried a proverbial hatchet or found a way forward that benefits you both. You're well placed to have a discussion that has been postponed during recent weeks. Have faith that progress can be made now.

Aquarius Jan 21 - Feb 19When we look out the window of an airborne jumbo jet at the Earth below us, it appears as if we're moving very slowly, yet we're moving at hundreds of miles per hour. The same can be said for objects we see in the distance when we're driving. It's easy to underestimate speed we're travelling at when we're focused on what's far away. This week, it's important to trust that a development you yearn for is coming as fast as it's able to. Do your best to summon patience. A process really is unfolding as quickly as it can.

Virgo Aug 24 - Sep 23All too often, we take decisions too seriously. We believe we can't move forward until we have 'all of the facts'. We assess and scrutinize situations to ensure they 'make sense' to us before we embark upon plans or commitments. You can avoid much stress and uncertainty this week by simply trusting that whatever feels right is very right, regardless of how it doesn't 'add up'. If ever there was a time to trust what your heart and instincts tell you, it's now. Your ruling planet is back on form after a recent slumber. Let it help you in ways it wants to help.

Pisces Feb 20 - Mar 20Anyone who has run marathons or worked out for long periods in gyms knows how essential it is to start off slowly. If impatience is allowed to rear its head, problems arise. A slow and steady approach is often best and you're likely to find yourself adopting that philosophy now and during coming weeks. As keen as you may be to rush into a scenario or opportunity, expect to identify reasons why allowing time to help you familiarize yourself with it will undoubtedly be better. Essential information has yet to find its way to you. Give it a chance this week to start materializing.

"We Didn't Start the Fire" is a song by Billy Joel. Its lyrics include brief, rapid-fire allusions to more than 100 headline events between January 1949 (Joel was born on May 9 of that year) and 1989, when the song was released on his album Storm Front. The song was a No. 1 hit in the US.Joel got the idea for the song when he had just turned 40. He was in a recording studio and met a friend of Sean Lennon who had just turned 21 who said "It's a terrible time to be 21!" Joel replied to him, "Yeah, I remember when I was 21 I thought it was an awful time and we had Vietnam, and y'know, drug problems, and civil rights problems and everything seemed to be awful." The friend replied, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's different for you. You were a kid in the fifties and everybody knows that nothing happened in the fifties". Joel retorted, "Wait a minute, didn't you hear of the Korean War or the Suez Canal Crisis?" Joel later said those headlines formed the basic framework for the song.

Joel has said, "I'm a history nut. I devour books. At one time I wanted to be a history teacher". According to his mother, he was a bookworm by the age of seven. Unlike most of Joel's songs, the lyrics were written before the melody, o w i n g t o t h e somewhat unusual

style of the song. The song was a huge commercial success and was Joel's third Billboard No. 1 hit. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Record of the Year. I had turned forty. It was 1989 and I said "Okay, what's happened in my life?" I wrote down the year 1949. Okay, Harry Truman was president. Popular singer of the day, Doris Day. China went Communist. Another popular singer, Johnnie Ray. Big Broadway show, South Pacific. Journalist, Walter Winchell. Athlete, Joe DiMaggio. Then I went on to 1950 . It's one of the worst melodies I've ever written. I kind of like the lyric though.

Joel has said, "There's an element of malevolence in the song"; it's like waiting for the other shoe to drop. Joel has mixed feelings about the song. "It's a nightmare to perform live, because if I miss one word, it's a train wreck." He has also called it a "novelty song" that does not "really define me as well as album songs that probably don't get played". On being asked if he could do a follow-up about the next couple of years after the events that transpired in the original song, he commented "No, I wrote one song already and I don't think it was really that good to begin with, melodically." .

Blender magazine ranked "We Didn't Start the Fire" No. 41 on its list of the "50 Worst Songs Ever", a list that also includes songs from Paul McCartney and Simon & Garfunkel. They considered the production bombastic and stated that the song "resembles a term paper scribbled the night before it's due."

Phone Call To The

Vet

A dog lover, whose dog

was a female and "on

heat', agreed to look after her neighbour's

male dog while the neighbors were on vacation.

She had a large house and believed that she

could keep the two dogs apart. However, as she

was drifting off to sleep she heard awful

howling and moaning sounds, rushed downstairs

and found the dogs locked together, in obvious

pain and unable to disengage, as so frequently

happens when dogs mate.

Unable to separate them, and perplexed as to

what to do next, although it was late, she called

the vet, who answered in a very grumpy voice.

Having explained the problem to him, the vet

said,

"Hang up the phone and place it down alongside

the dogs. I will then call you back and the noise

of the ringing will make the male lose his

erection and he will be able to withdraw."

"Do you think that will work?" she asked.

"Just worked on me," he replied.

WHERE WOULD YOU BE:IF - YOU HAD ALL THE MONEY YOUR HEART

DESIRES.IF - YOU HAD NO WORRIES.

IF - YOU CAME HOME AND THE FINEST MEAL WAS AWAITING YOU.

IF - YOUR BATH WATER HAD BEEN RUN.IF - YOU HAD THE PERFECT KIDS & PETS.

IF - YOUR PARTNER WAS AWAITING YOU, WITH OPEN ARMS AND KISSES?

SO, WHERE WOULD YOU BE?

Well....... HELLOOooo !!!!!!!

You'd be at theWRONG F.......' HOUSE!

Land Laws in Bali Differ from the Rest of Indonesia? Not Really.Real Estate agents around Indonesia, and internationally, think that land laws in Bali are different from the rest of Indonesia, as foreigners can own freehold land! You can also own freehold land with a secondary title on top of it, being the Right of Use (Hak Pakai) and Right to Build (Hak Guna Bangunan). Some agents also state that recently there have been “changes in Indonesian land laws” that allows the nominee structure to be used for foreigners, heavily and rightfully contradicted by Discovery newsletter.

Look at the case of Susi Johnston for a sad set up, but the core issue here is that a nominee agreement went bad. Her case may very well set precedence for Indonesian law on this matter. There are currently 140 cases in court, or police reports involving nominee structures – about 7,000 or more properties in Bali are currently held under this structure.

All not true; Bali is very much part of Indonesia and its legal system, end of story. Try to go to a Notary or Lawyer in Jakarta and tell them you want to purchase a freehold property in Pondok Indah using a nominee to secure a freehold. They might be able to set up a foreign owned company (PT PMA) to secure Right of Use (Hak Pakai) or Right to Build (Hak Guna Bangunan) to own a property as a shareholder of such company.

However, the truth is that the Indonesian Agrarian law states: “Any attempt by a foreigner or a foreign entity to secure freehold land in any shape or form is void and the property belongs to the government”.The truth is that there is no need to circumvent the Indonesian law, just the mad perception out there in the property Industry in Bali. There are basically three options of ownership structures available for foreigners under Indonesian Law.1. Hak Pakai or Right of Use.

This is a residential title for Indonesians and foreigners. It is classified as a residential title and there are guidelines around the

number of units and size of land as well as qualifications of being “residential” in Indonesia, with some economical benefit towards the Indonesian economy.2. Hak Guna Bangunan or Right to Build.

This is a commercial title for villas or resort developments. There is no discrimination between an Indonesian company and a foreign-owned company on this land title, and a foreign-owned company can be 100% foreign owned.

Both these titles come with an

extension/renewal option after 25 and 30 years. This extension/renewal does not mean you buy the land again as it is your land, though there is a 0.2% payable tax based on the tax appraisal value of the land in that current time. Actually, the Indonesian law now has special benefits for foreigners and foreign investment, a l l o w i n g f o r a n a u t o m a t i c extension/renewal where all that is needed at the end of the first term is to go to the Indonesian land Office, BPN, and have the new certificate for the second period issued.

Some people question the strength of these two land ownership structures. However, even towards the end of the title's terms, one can freely sell the property to an Indonesian and get a freehold title again. Specifically to Right to build, during a transaction of the property one could also apply for a new 30 year term for the new owner.3. The third option for foreigners is a straight forward lease of land and/or property.

25 – 30 years is a normal length of lease and this will not

challenge the existing structure of the above mentioned foreign titles available. Some legal advisors would state that you can do longer leases as there are no arguments against that under Indonesian law. Others would argue and structure 2-3 agreements of 30 years each in order not to circumvent the spirit of the above mentioned titles. If one does not do this, one could choose to state that an extension after 25-30 years would be at that time market value, which is decided by the lease holder and lessor, as well as two to three

independent appraisers.Solutions to the ongoing discussions around Indonesian Agrarian laws are to possibly extend the Right of Use (Hak Pakai) title to 70 years, and Right to Build (Hak Guna Bangunan) to 85 years in one go with no need to formally renew/extend the certificates. This has actually happened already a few times, the first time in 2007, but the changes were rejected by the Constitutional

Court. Whether it will pass this time or not remains to be seen.

All in all, the existing Laws and regulations are, from a security perception, already sufficient for investors, and it's more about educating the market on the misperceptions around these titles as well as the risks in utilizing a nominee, as shown in several recent cases.

The main thing for any purchaser or investor to consider is the purpose and how they want to utilize the property, as well as their final exit plan, if any. One can also consider using an offshore holding company to further protect oneself as an exposed owner of land and assets, and this structure may also have some tax benefits at an eventual exit and sale of the property.

The central government, as well as provincial governments, are very well aware of the arising issues and are constantly considering regulations to discipline this. The sooner the better, it's not complicated, nor difficult. Without the right advice it's a jungle out there.
