Om Swastyastu. Before I present this orati … Om Swastyastu. Before I present this oration, let us all give thanks to Ida Sang Hyang Parama Kawi, because thanks to His grace I, Ni Kadek Diah Ayu Paramitha from SMA Negeri 1 Kerambitan, can present the oration text entitled “Ngamolihang Kasejahteraan Sosial ring Bali”.A leader is a person who influences others in order to carry out a common goal. Therefore, leaders have the obligation to complete and implement all the aspirations of the community and have a responsibility for community welfare and social welfare. Talking about social welfare, it can be seen from various aspects such as economy, education, health, and socio-culture. Today, I will discuss social welfare in Bali from the economic point of view. One of the economic problems in Bali is the economic gap, which is very important to find a solution to. The economic gap is closely related to the unbalanced infrastructure development in each region. This can lead to urbanization - people living in villages are displaced to cities - which then makes economic growth in Bali unbalanced. Poverty and unemployment rates are also important to note, because if you look at the distribution of subsidies for the lower middle class, it has not been well targeted, so the poverty rate has not shown a significant reduction in the number of people living in poverty.We know that Bali is very strong because of tourism which until now has benefited as much as 60% of Bali’s economic structure. In my opinion, providing tourism sites like this, especially in villages can be one of the solutions to relieve the economic gap in Bali, such as the Tenganan Tourism Village program, Jatiluwih, Terunyan, and others. However, we cannot guess what will happen in the future, such as the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020 which causes an economy decline, especially in Bali because it still relies on tourism. However, if you look again, Bali actually has other potentials such as MSMEs. These MSMEs should be considered so that they remain strong. Bali’s leaders have a role to help MSMEs in Bali so that they can improve Bali’s economic development, such as providing facilities and assistance in the form education, socialization, subsidies and rules that can encourage the existence of MSMEs and provide legal protection for MSME actors. Not only these MSMEs can help the Balinese economy. Social welfare is not just the responsibility of leaders, but the responsibility of the entire community. However, the role of leaders here is very important to lead the community to get social welfare, the leader should use resources as well as possible, and also build good buildings in order to provide people’s welfare.This is the text of the oration that I can convey. If any of my words are not pleasing to you, I apologize profusely, finally I close with paramasantih, Om Santih Santih Santih Om. paramasantih, Om Santih Santih Santih Om. +
Om Swastyastu. Dear readers, and participa … Om Swastyastu. Dear readers, and participants of the competition that we are proud of. Praise and gratitude are due to God Almighty because by His grace we were given the opportunity to be participants in the Wikithon Basa Bali competition with the theme "Election 2024: What are the most urgent issues to be handled by Bali's prospective leaders?" Tourism has long been the most popular sector for Balinese people. Natural resources and customs are two of the factors that make tourists, both from within and outside the country, interested in visiting the island of the Gods, Bali. However, reflecting from 3 years ago where most of the people's economy in Bali was hampered due to a prolonged pandemic. It can be seen from one of the tourist attractions in Bali, namely "Taman Nusa", where this tourist spot focuses on preserving customs and culture in Indonesia, such as traditional houses, dances and traditional weapons, ended up 'closing' or in other words 'going bankrupt'. Now that the economy in Bali has started to grow and improve, we can take a lesson to not depend on one sector, especially the dynamic Tourism sector. Our question now is, how can we make the human resources in Bali not only focus on the tourism sector? This problem starts with the stereotype that working in the tourism sector can raise the family's status. Although in reality this is true, given the dynamic nature of the tourism sector, it is unlikely that the sector will always promise a good economy. Whereas, on the other hand, agriculture, health, trade, construction and so on have ample job opportunities but with less promising income, so in the opinion of young people now. We ask for solutions from the government regarding this sector that 'actually' has ample job opportunities with less promising income.Finally, let's all work together to protect and do our best for Bali's economy in the future. That's all we can say, if there are shortcomings we apologize and for your attention we say Parama Santih. Om Santhi, Santhi, Santhi Om.rama Santih. Om Santhi, Santhi, Santhi Om. +
Om Swastyastu. Dear the juries and all rea … Om Swastyastu. Dear the juries and all readers. From the theme of this oration, the urgent topic we raised was the Bali government's steps in dealing with the surge in waste on the Island of the Gods, which can cause various problems in life. For this reason, the title of our oration is “Clean and Spotless Bali, Without Mountains of Rubbish” or "Bali Resik, Bali Tan Katiben Gunung Leluu". Bali Island is nicknamed the world's tourism paradise. However, behind that sentence, this island is facing an urgent crisis due to piles of rubbish. It has become increasingly complicated and more transparent after fires recently occurred at several final disposal sites (TPA) in Bali. How would we feel if every day we had to live amidst piles of rubbish, followed by burning pollution like this? As a foreign tourism area, the urgency of this problem must be addressed immediately because it can cause other issues that could be detrimental to the Balinese people. Therefore, the presence of the government as a pioneer leading society is vital in responding to this urgency. Prospective leaders should be responsible for developing steps to overcome this emergency. We need significant investment in waste management infrastructure with modern, environmentally friendly technology. We also need policy designs encouraging active community participation in waste sorting and recycling programs. We encourage prospective Balinese leaders to work with various parties, including the private sector and environmental organizations, to create collaborative solutions to this waste problem. By integrating ideas and resources from multiple sectors, we can achieve more significant progress in maintaining Bali's sustainability. This is a call for all of us to act together and ensure that Bali remains beautiful and sustainable for future generations. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, prospective leaders of Bali in the 2024 elections, for your attention and commitment to facing this urgent challenge. Together, let's create a clean, green, and sustainable Bali without mountains of rubbish. Om Santih, Santih, Santih, Om.of rubbish. Om Santih, Santih, Santih, Om. +

Today I would like to convey that Ogoh-ogoh 2024 announced by the Bali Provincial Government will be held in the series of Nyepi Day 2024. However, Balinese people are still allowed to roam around. Head of the Bali Cultural Service, I Gede Arya Sugiartha, explained that holding the provincial level ogoh-ogoh competition was to maintain security until the 2024 elections. According to him, bad race was the cause of all relations. He showed that horseplay could be played again after years of politics. However, people were still allowed to play ball the following night. Group meetings can only be held within their respective traditional village areas. Then he ordered them not to talk about it on the street. I apologize if there is something wrong with what I said, so I will call it Prama Shanti. Uncle Shanti, Santhi, Shanti Uncle.hanti. Uncle Shanti, Santhi, Shanti Uncle. +

On Swastyastu I would like to express my … On SwastyastuI would like to express my gratitude to the presence of God Almighty for his generous support in being able to deliver an oration entitled "TOURISM UNDER THE BALI RING" The island of Bali or the island of a thousand temples is famous for its unique tourism and culture. The island of Bali has many tourist attractions that attract local guests as well as tourists from foreign countries who come to Bali for a holiday and enjoy the natural beauty of Bali. The tourist attraction in Bali that is most often crowded with tourists is Ubud. In Ubud there are many tourist attractions such as the Ubud monkey forest, Bali bird walks, the Ubud art market, the Blanco Renaissance Museum and others. Sometimes when we cross the road in Ubud, we often get stuck in traffic jams due to the crowds of tourists walking around. There are so many tourists on holiday in Bali that we are overwhelmed by the behavior of tourists who carry out actions that exceed the limits set by the local community. However, tourism activities help revive the community's economy. Also, the culture and tourist attractions in Bali are becoming more famous on the world stage, and can attract tourists to vacation in Bali. That's all my oration that I explained, forgive me if there are any statements that are offensive or not pleasing to your heart. I say thank you, at the end I close with parama santih.

On this occasion, allow me to share some t … On this occasion, allow me to share some thoughts on the importance of giving teenagers the freedom to express themselves and work on their interests and talents. And how we as a society can facilitate this.The young generation is the future of this nation. They are the ones who will continue the baton of leadership in this beloved country. Therefore, we should give them the widest possible freedom to explore and develop their potential. Often, we get stuck in the mindset that children should follow in their parents' footsteps. In fact, every child has their own passions and talents. Our job is to support and facilitate their self-discovery, not impose our will.By giving young people the freedom to work in areas of interest, we help them find purpose and meaning in life. This is important so that they do not get lost and fall into negativity. In addition, young people who are supported to pursue their dreams will grow up to be confident and optimistic. They know that the community supports their efforts to achieve their goals. This will spur enthusiasm and a high work ethic.Therefore, let us embrace young people with empathy. Give them the confidence to pursue their dreams, even if they are different from our expectations. As parents and society, we must support our young people. Thus, they will grow into an excellent generation and bring progress to this nation. That's all for my short speech, thank you for your attention.hort speech, thank you for your attention. +

Ong Swastyastu … Ong Swastyastu since the COVID-19 pandemic hit the whole world. It's been two years of this pandemic situation. some regulations have been implemented. but not getting the desired result, for the purpose to be achieved. I am not a tourism actor, let alone one who knows about the state of tourism, but I feel what the impact of this covid-19 pandemic is. I wrote this article from the input of my friends and relatives who work in the tourism sector. When viewed from the development of tourism in the past, generally 100% of guests traveled to Bali, now only 30% of foreign guests come to Bali, another 70% are mostly local guests, even though the airport has opened domestic flights and international flights. But still few foreign guests come to Bali for sightseeing, even though most of the guests are local. Now, as now, there has been an increase from before, unlike in the past, hotels, villas, resorts, restaurants, tourist attractions were mostly closed. We all know that Bali is the biggest foreign exchange earner in Indonesia. If Bali tourism is paralyzed, let alone to death, what can you do, what causes it? Most of the people work in the tourism sector. Health-based tourism must be applied to be used as a solution/urgent situation in the current state of tourism and in the future. Many foreign guests don't want to go to Bali because the quarantine period is too long and the rapid production of antigen tests and PCR swabs is too expensive. The hope of the people is that the government is right to reduce the quarantine period which used to be 14 days, to only 7 days, what is the reason?, So that the quarantine period for guests is not too long, just like a leech habit (too long) staying or traveling to Bali, so as not to too long quarantine before traveling quickly lost the desire of guests to travel. For example, a guest who came to Bali only two weeks ago had a 14-day quarantine period, cutting the guest's vacation time by 14 days after the quarantine period was used up, the guest lost his time to Bali or the quarantine period was used up only. Also accompanied by promotion and maintaining Balinese culture so that traditional tourism attractions such as the ogoh-ogoh parade can be used as an inducement for foreign guests to visit Bali.

Original article printed in BALI!Now The … Original article printed in BALI!NowThe rebranding and reconfiguration of the Bali tourism industry from Desa Wisata to Desa Kreatif (tourism village to creative village) is essential. Tourism products shift from vacation leisure activities to learning and innovation experiences up-skilling people as entrepreneurs within the 21st-century global creative economy. Demographics have changed from the leisure-focused baby boomers to the X, Y, Z, and millennial generations who tend to be orientated towards creative and entrepreneurial adventures. The market evolves from internationals to a mixed domestic and international audience. The emphasis changes from ‘trading’ to instilling innovative and entrepreneurial knowledge...The rebranding of tourism transforms Bali into a global centre of innovation and learning. Desa Kreatif preserves the ‘gotong-royong’ village model of shared collective responsibilities. The environment is a decentralised, fully distributed, unified infrastructure providing equal opportunity and enhanced diversification. A sustainable ecosystem eliminates competition, empowered by the abundance philosophy and the entrepreneurial spirit. A renewed sense of shared values and belonging motivates stakeholders to collaborate to serve the whole’s best interests.See whole piece at https://bit.ly/3pD43p9, originally published in NOW!Bali, April 1, 2021 by Richard Horstman.W!Bali, April 1, 2021 by Richard Horstman. +
Our Young Master Mario Blanco, the second … Our Young Master Mario Blanco, the second child of the famous artist Antonio Blanco, was born in Ubud - Bali on the 4th of July 1962. He was surrounded by art from early childhood. Without doubt, his father Antonio Blanco was regarded throughout his life as the most famous artist of the island of Bali. When Mario was very young, the elder Blanco invited him into his studio in Campuan to share in his great enthusiasm for art. Mario painted his first oil at the tender age of five and later chose to study art at the University of Udayana in Denpasar where he successfully graduated.Inevitably, Mario's art drew its inspiration from two different origins. His Spanish father introduced him to the techniques of European art and his native artistic feelings come from his Mother Ni Ronji, a famous Balinese dancer. Mario has developed this intensively through his paintings which expose a definite preference for a romantic impressionistic style.Being the son of the "Fabulous Blanco", Mario faces a strong challenge but, as he inevitably sheds his father's influence, his own talent is expressed through an elaborated landscape where his own visions of Balinese culture gradually emerge.ions of Balinese culture gradually emerge. +

P.L. Dronkers, born 19 August 1917, comple … P.L. Dronkers, born 19 August 1917, completed his education in Leiden in September 1941 and became Dutch colonial government administrator (Indisch bestuursambtenaar) and in July 1945 he was one of the first members of the contingent of Dutch colonial administrators to be sent out from The Netherlands to the Netherlands-Indies, at that time still occupied [by the Japanese]. Via Australia and a temporary assignment in Batavia with the Netherlands Government Information Service (Regerings Voorlichtingsdienst, RVD), in the first months of 1946, he was granted a post with the landing forces, which were to bring Bali back under regular [Dutch colonial] administration. Initially, Internal Affairs Administration was militarised with the name Allied Military Administration, Civil Affairs Branch (AMACAB), something which was undone in the course of 1946. In 1947, civil administrators were added to the local self-government as civil advisors (bestuursadviseurs). Mid 1948, these administration advisors were put together at the office of the Balinese 'Rajadom Council' (vorstenraad) Dewan Radja-Radja in Den Pasar. The reason for this was, also at local level, to melt into changed political relations within the Negara Indonesia Timur, to which daerah Bali belonged. The transfer of sovereignty in December 1949 formally ended the interference of Dutch [colonial] Civil Administration with local administration.Dronkers held the following positions in Bali:  junior controller (aspirant-controleur) in Boeleleng and Djembrana, March-May 1946; junior-controller in Djembrana, May-December 1946; controller/administration advisor in Tabanan, January 1947 - June 1948; head of the Political Affairs Department with the Dewan Radja-Radja in Den Pasar, June 1948 - March 1949; head of the Economic Affairs Department with the Dewan Radja-Radja in Den Pasar, June 1949 - April 1950.

Pande was born into an artistic, religious … Pande was born into an artistic, religious family. A gifted artist since childhood, he studied painting at the Indonesia Institute of the Arts (Institut Seni Indonesia) in Yogyakarta. He later moved with his wife and family to the small town of Muntilan in Central Java, where he lives and works within sight of both the ancient Buddhist temple of Borododur and of Mount Merapi, an active volcano. Both of these majestic and powerful sites—one man-made and celebrating the spirit, the other natural and conveying the beauty and awesome power of Nature—have strongly influenced Pande’s art. A deeply spiritual connection to the earth is a tangible element of Pande’s sculptures and paintings, and the naturalism of his style reflects his interest in the forms and materials of nature in their most fundamental state. His carved wood sculptures, many of them monumental in size, are often fashioned from the trunks or roots of trees, and depict innumerable, expressively carved human figures that seem to be emerging from the tree itself, like figures in some ancient mythological tale.For Pande, art is a daily-life practice, like taichi or meditation, that allows him to both be nourished by and to celebrate the earth and the spirit, moving from the center outwards just like a mandala–from the microcosm of the body, to his family, his town, the forests and mountains that surround him, the society to which he belongs, and the cosmos which encompasses all of us.nd the cosmos which encompasses all of us. +

Photographer Narya Abhimata – who shot our … Photographer Narya Abhimata – who shot our cover and fashion spreads this issue – is doing exactly what he wants to do, thank you very much. Interview Nigel Simmonds.Narya, we’re all interested in how you grew up and how you became a visual artist. What’s the story?I was pretty much given the freedom of expressing my artistic side from a very young age. My parents fully supported that by getting me drawing books, crayons and paints so that I would stop using their bedroom walls as my canvas. I’ve always been that weird, artistic kid … I’ve never really been into sports or super-masculine things. I played with both my Ninja Turtle figurines and my sister’s American Girls dolls. I loved custom building things with my Lego … I’ve built theme parks with fully working cable cars that take my little Lego people up and down a steep hill. I love playing video games that need me to manage cities and zoos. I guess I like things that need problem-solving skills, which contributes fully to what I am doing now. As a visual artist I have to problem-solve and to constantly think of creative ways to achieve things.When you were growing up, is this the life that you envisaged for yourself?Truthfully I cannot imagine myself doing anything other than what I’m doing now. Me as an accountant? Never in a million years.How did you find being an Indonesian in Sydney, when you studied there? Or London?I find going or living overseas very eye-opening and inspiring. For me, Indonesia is more restrictive when it comes to creative expression and freedom, especially in Jakarta. When I lived in Sydney and London, my creative mojo was constantly brewing. Ideas can be found anywhere, museums, galleries are abundant. People are strange, beautiful and unapologetic. The energy is powerful and is constantly around and it makes you want to create things every single day.Did you spend much time as an assistant, or intern? Did you learn your trade from someone awesome, and are you still in touch with them?I have never assisted, I just went out there with courage and a bit of delusion, ha ha ha! But I have interned once as a graphic designer at an agency back in Jakarta in 2008, after that I’ve been taking on the world solo. However, I believe that I am always a student, so I don’t think I will stop learning . . . it’s easier to do this nowadays since everything is basically online; seminars, tutorials . . . you name it and the internet has it. I also learn from my friends, fellow photographers and artists that I met here as well as overseas . . . and yes I am still in touch with some of them.You seem so well educated internationally, how has that journey been for you?It has been very special and I feel super grateful to have been able to do that. My view of the world as well as how I creatively approach my work were shaped during those years overseas. I learned, struggled and achieved a lot, and I wouldn’t be who I am today without those experiences.What’s most important to you today about visual imagery, and how you deal with it?Character, point of view and the ability to tell a story are very important to create any kind of visual. These are the three things I’m constantly improving with my own work.What equipment do you use?Canon 5DmkIVfor stills and Sony A7SIII / FX3 / FX60 / Arri Alexa for videos (also depends on client’s budget!)Who is the best client you ever worked for (apart from The Yak he he)?Edward Hutabarat.What does fashion mean to you?Fashion is a lifestyle choice. Most people think that fashion is just clothes, but almost all your lifestyle choices count as fashion: the way you dress, the food you eat, the devices you use daily . . . all the desirable things you choose to own and use to present yourself to the world as an individual . . . those things count as fashion!How do you stay consistently fresh with your ideas and concepts in photography and videography?I try to get outside my comfort zone. I work in fashion most of the time so I try to find inspiration and references outside of that world. Also, never stop learning new ways to give your work variety. Experiment with things you never tried before!What’s the most frequent phrase you hear from clients that pisses you off?‘Could you make (whatever I’m making for them) pop more?’How can clients be better at being clients?Knowing what they want is always a good start.Are you threatened at all about the potential of Artificial Intelligence?Not at all. No amount of technological advances can replace an artist’s soul.What makes you happy?Good food. Good company.
