    • STUNTING PINAKA KAPIAMENG MASA DEPAN BALI  + (Good afternoon to all of you whom I respecGood afternoon to all of you whom I respect, as well as the youth, and the people of Bali whom I love.</br>Before I continue, let us give praise and thanks to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, I would like to say “Om Swastyastu”. May we always be safe thanks to His grace.</br></br>On this blessed day, as participation in the Wikithon Bali Berorasi event, let me deliver an oration entitled “Stunting Pinaka Kapiameng Bali’s Future”.</br></br>Respected people of Bali, </br>The young generation is the next generation of the nation that will continue, fill, and add to the development, as well as build Bali towards the “New Bali Era”. However, there is a very important obstacle, namely stunting. Stunting is the impaired growth and development of children due to malnutrition at the age of 1000 days. </br></br>Stunting is characterized by a child being shorter than a child with normal development. Not only that, during their cerebral and physical development, children are very quickly exposed to disease. Young children who experience stunting are also hindered in socializing, emotions, and thinking. According to UNICEF, young children who experience stunting usually have less intelligence than children who are not affected by stunting.</br></br>This problem of stunting, should be quickly recognised by the policy owner or the government, especially the Bali provincial leader who will be elected in 2024. If this is not considered by the government, the hope to reach a “New Era Bali” will only be a dream, unattainable because it cannot build a young generation that has critical thinking and intelligence, who will become the leaders of Bali in the future.</br></br>My respected audience,</br>Whoever will be the leader of Bali in 2024 should really pay attention to the disease that causes stunting. What can help solve this problem is building drinking water infrastructure, conducting Supplementary Feeding Programs (PTM) for children and pregnant women to complement their body nutrition, checking the growth and development of toddlers, providing vaccinations for children to prevent viruses that interfere with child development.</br></br>Ladies and gentlemen, </br>The young generation can be a weapon to reach the “New Bali Era”. Let us beware of the dangers caused by stunting that can hinder or hamper the development of this island of the gods. Together with the young generation, towards the New Bali Era.</br></br>That’s all I can say today. If there are any mistakes in my speech, I ask for forgiveness. Klungkung Semarapura, kirang langkung nunas pangampura (Balinese saying which means begging for forgiveness if something goes wrong). Allow me to end this speech with paramasantih. </br></br>Om Santih Santih Santih Omparamasantih. Om Santih Santih Santih Om)
    • Alih Fungsi Lahan Pertanian  + (Good morning,everyone. First of all, let'sGood morning,everyone.</br>First of all, let's offer thanks to the presence of God Almighty. Here I would like to thank you for the opportunity that has been given to me, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ni Kadek Feby Dhiyo Dharma Yanthi, I am from SMK Negeri 2 Seririt. Here I will deliver an oration about the conversion of agricultural land. This is one of the problems that must be overcome by potential Balinese leaders.</br></br> As we know, the population of Bali is increasing and more and more foreign tourists are visiting, therefore a lot of agricultural land is being converted into housing, hotels, restaurants and other buildings that support the tourism industry. Therefore, there are no farmers in Bali who own large areas of land. Head of the Bali Agriculture and Food Security Service, I Wayan Sunada, explained that currently the largest farmer's land area in Bali is around 75 are/0.75 ha, it is very rare for farmers to have land above one hectare. "The weakness of farmers in Bali currently is that their land is limited, some are 25 hectares, the maximum is 75 hectares. "This is the result of land conversion that occurs every year." said Sunada to Bisnis, Wednesday (22/6/2022). Based on these problems, the Government or prospective Bali Provincial Government must really pay attention to the problem of Land Conversion by ensuring the welfare of farmers, for example:</br> 1. During the planting season, attention must be paid to the distribution of subsidized and non-subsidized fertilizers to avoid fertilizer shortages.</br> 2. During the harvest season, the Government must help farmers market their agricultural products.</br> If the government really paid attention to the welfare of farmers, land conversion could be prevented because people and the younger generation would want to become farmers. In this way, the national food security program can be achieved.</br></br> That is the speech that I can convey, if there are any sentences that are not acceptable, I apologize profusely. I would like to express my gratitudeely. I would like to express my gratitude)
    • Gregory Bateson  + (Gregory Bateson (9 May 1904 – 4 July 1980)Gregory Bateson (9 May 1904 – 4 July 1980) was an English anthropologist, social scientist, linguist, visual anthropologist, semiotician, and cyberneticist whose work intersected that of many other fields.</br></br>Bateson travelled to Bali with his second wife (1936-1950) Margaret Mead to study the people of the village Bajoeng Gede. In the short history of ethnographic fieldwork, film was used both on a large scale and as the primary research tool. Bateson took 25,000 photographs of their Balinese subjects.</br></br>He discovered that the people of Bajoeng Gede raised their children very unlike children raised in Western societies. Instead of attention being paid to a child who was displaying a climax of emotion (love or anger), Balinese mothers would ignore them. Bateson notes, "The child responds to [a mother's] advances with either affection or temper, but the response falls into a vacuum. In Western cultures, such sequences lead to small climaxes of love or anger, but not so in Bali. At the moment when a child throws its arms around the mother's neck or bursts into tears, the mother's attention wanders". This model of stimulation and refusal was also seen in other areas of the culture. Bateson later described the style of Balinese relations as stasis instead of schismogenesis. Their interactions were "muted" and did not follow the schismogenetic process because they did not often escalate competition, dominance, or submission.ate competition, dominance, or submission.)

    • Hanalei Swan  + (Hanalei Swan is a 15-year-old fashion desiHanalei Swan is a 15-year-old fashion designer, artist, speaker, and author. She leads by example – her goal is to inspire the next generation of conscious leaders.</br></br>HANALEI, it’s been a minute since we last spoke, can you tell us what you’ve been up to in the last couple of years?</br></br>I’ve taken a step back these last few years to really focus on what drives me creatively. Since we last spoke I feel like I’ve been through a huge reset, and this has allowed me to explore different passions including writing, which in turn has opened me up to new opportunities. I recently had the pleasure of being an author in the New York Times best-selling book Women Gone Wild!. I have also continued designing clothes, making artwork, writing, speaking and finding new ways to tell my story.</br></br>You were barely a teenager in Bali when we first caught up. How have your views changed since then?</br></br>I don’t think my views have changed necessarily; I just think they have been reinforced. I’m still focussed on creating sustainable fashion and educating other kids about making conscious decisions when buying clothing. I stand strong on sustainable fashion versus fast fashion, and it remains my mission to educate young consumers and set an example for other brands to start taking action on our problems in the fashion industry.</br></br>What projects are you involved in now, and what drives those projects?</br></br>These last few years have been very exciting. I’ve already mentioned the Women Gone Wild! book series, with its mission to inspire women around the world to take action on what they love. I’ve also been involved with the Shima Swan Surfboard Project, in partnership with We Are Mother Earth. This project is a symbolic gift for ocean health and takes a stand against the plans made by the company TEPCO to dump over 100 million tons of radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean as early as next year, which will affect our environment, as well as food supply chain to a dramatic extent. I’m also happy to announce I’ve been working on a new collection for my eco-friendly fashion company, HS Styles, which takes huge inspiration from my love for the ocean and surfing. I look forward to sharing more on this in the future.</br></br>What are the biggest threats facing us in the world today, and how do you think they affect you?</br></br>Globally, the fashion industry is the second most polluting industry in the world after oil and gas. It’s responsible for 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually. This blows my mind. It takes over 750 gallons of water to produce a single cotton T-shirt, not to mention that 20% of global wastewater comes from textile dyeing, because the bulk of the production is in countries with little or no regulation, so the wastewater often finds its way to rivers and seas where it can wreak havoc.</br></br>I never thought that deeply about fashion’s effect on our planet before I learned about this. So, when I started my fashion brand at 11 years old, I knew I didn’t want to contribute to any further destruction. I knew I had to do it differently, which brought me to slow fashion. I only use suitable materials like bamboo, which takes roughly one percent of the water otherwise needed to make a t-shirt. I also committed to giving back, so this is where HS Styles began.</br></br>In today’s social media landscape, are we all guilty of putting self-promotion before these causes?</br></br>Yes, everyone is, but that’s okay. We don’t always have to focus on the negative things on our planet, but I do believe these topics should be talked about so we can inspire other people to use their voices to uplift causes they care about. It’s important that everyone recognises that they have a voice – the more we talk about sustainability, for instance, the more we can educate and effect change. If that means promoting yourself and your business as well, then so be it. The point is the whole platform gets larger, and this always translates into greater awareness for others to follow.</br></br>How can we do our part?</br></br>There are three simple ways you can help. Through your time, your money, and or sharing your voice. Using your time could mean volunteering at an organisation that is already working towards making change, finding ways you can support others. Using your money could mean donating to certain charities/organisations, being more conscious with your spending by limiting your purchases and consumption, changing your buying habits by shopping at more sustainable brands, or even buying second-hand/vintage clothing to give them a chance not to not end up in landfill. You can also use your voice – talking about problems you care about is one of the most powerful tools you have, whether through open conversations or social media. If we each make a small change, we can create a bigger impact. The more we educate, the more we can inspire people to start thinking and buying consciously.</br></br>Do you think it is possible to affect future outcomes, and how would you do that? Yes, I believe we are able to affect future outcomes, but I don’t believe I can change the world on my own. We are the change we wish to see in the world, and I believe by standing together to fight against fast fashion and other habits that contribute to the destruction of our planet we can make a difference. I hope by inspiring others I can create a butterfly or ripple effect that will lead to sustainable change, and I hope my company HS Styles can set an example to inspire other brands.</br></br>How do you see yourself in 20 years’ time?</br></br>I haven’t thought that far into my future to be honest, so I genuinely don’t know where I want to end up, but I certainly know I don’t want to put myself in a box. I want to stay open to new possibilities and opportunities that may come my way. Over time I know my interests and thoughts will change and I am open to that.</br></br>Where are we heading as a race in your generation?</br></br>Our future is not bright, especially when you look at the rapid speed of climate change and the continuation of fast fashion practices by huge corporations. It’s obvious we are slowly destroying our only planet, and I am scared for our future generations.</br></br>Do you still have hope?</br></br>Yes, but only if we start taking action right now. We need to find solutions for the problems we already have instead of continuing to create others. I believe it is the responsibility of big companies to take into account how they are affecting the earth. It needs to be our mission to make our voices heard and to stand for what we care about.</br></br>IG: @HanaleiSwan</br>FB: Hanalei Swan-HS Styles</br>www.hanaleiswan.com</br>www.wgwbook.comStyles www.hanaleiswan.com www.wgwbook.com)

Balinese traditions such as the Cendrawasih Dance, even sacred ones such as the Sidakarya Mask as an accompaniment to the work, seem to lose their Taksu when they are performed by irresponsible individuals. Why does this happen? What should the provincial government & Balinese people do to overcome this?</br></br>The fame of the customs, traditions and culture of the Balinese Hindu community is well known abroad. The authenticity of Balinese culture has encouraged people from outside Bali to come and learn Balinese culture directly. It's not surprising that now there are more and more art studios outside Bali that teach dance and gamelan arts typical of the Island of the Gods. The existence of social media such as Instagram, YouTube and TikTok also introduces the treasures of Balinese traditions</br></br>They seem to want to preserve Balinese traditions out of admiration, but this ends up being an insult to Balinese traditions themselves. The lack of knowledge between sacred and non-sacred dances has resulted in many dances that accompany ceremonies being danced haphazardly as an austere spectacle.</br></br>The Balinese Hindu community and the Balinese Traditional Village Council must work together to take strict action against these things so that they do not happen again. The Bali Provincial Government and the Bali Provincial Culture Service must immediately form an inter-regional cultural communication forum to provide education for artists outside Bali who want to present Balinese cultural arts, so that non-conformity in standards which leads to harassment can be avoided.ards which leads to harassment can be avoided.)

Created using waste collected across the island of Bali, Pointman speaks to Potato Head’s ideation that sustainability can be beautiful. Initially lauded as a pioneering graffiti artist, Futura2000 is known for his ground-breaking use of abstraction in the 1980s and has always been progressive in his philosophy, methodology, and practice of art. Adjacent to his body of abstract paintings, he has developed a universe and lexicon around an otherworldly character: the Pointman. Over the years, Pointman has taken many forms across drawing, painting, and sculpture.</br></br>The collaboration with Potato Head sees Pointman emerge with a new mission in the materials of its design. River and ocean pollution has long been a central concern of Futura2000. Located on the Hudson River in New York City, the view from his studio of the Statue of Liberty is obscured by vessels transporting trash and free-floating river garbage. In reaction to this, the use of waste for the fabrication of the sculptures is a social commentary on the pollution crisis faced by both rivers and tributaries in New York City and Southeast Asia.</br></br>On 9 December, the courtyard of the OMA-designed Potato Head Studios in Bali unveiled the second River Warrior sculpture. For this Pointman, everything from motor oil bottles to discarded water gallon lids sourced by the community organisation, Yayasan Kakikita, were used. The event brought together traditional Balinese ideals with Futura2000’s urban aesthetic and featured a performance by Australian dance company Chunky Move, talks, craft beers, and Balinese food stalls.</br></br>ABOUT THE ARTIST</br>Futura2000 (b. Leonard Hilton McGurr, 1955, New York) is an abstract painter whose practice first developed in New York during the 1970s. One of the earliest graffiti artists to introduce abstraction into his work, Futura was also among the first graffiti artists to be shown in contemporary art galleries in the early 1980s. Early exhibitions of his work include presentations at Patti Astor’s Fun Gallery and Tony Shafrazi Gallery, as well as within the historic Times Square show of 1980, alongside Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Rammellzee, and Kenny Scharf. MoMA PS1 brought the artists together again in its landmark 1981 exhibition, New York / New Wave. Futura collaborated with the punk band The Clash during this time as well, designing their album art and painting on large-scale canvases behind the band as they performed in concert. In recent years, he created collaborative works with Takashi Murakami and exhibited them at Kaikai KiKi Gallery in Tokyo. He worked with Virgil Abloh on collections for Off-White and Louis Vuitton and staged visuals for the designer at Coachella. Futura’s work has been shown at The New Museum, New York; MOCA, Los Angeles; the Groninger Museum, the Netherlands; Yvon Lambert, Galerie De Noirmont, and the Galerie du jour agnès b., Paris. In 2020, the Noguchi Museum presented Futura Akari, an installation of Akari light sculptures customized by Futura; he created a large site-specific installation at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, and he was included in the exhibition Writing the Future: Basquiat and the Hip Hop Generation at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.</br></br>@futuradosmil</br>www.seminyak.potatohead.co @futuradosmil www.seminyak.potatohead.co)

    • ngiringja iraga mebakti ring ajeng  + (Hello Bahasa bali wiki, do you know what iHello Bahasa bali wiki, do you know what is the meaning of garbage? Do you know how many types of garbage there are? Garbage is the remaining waste from a product or item that is no longer used but can still be recycled into valuable items. Waste can be divided into 2 types, including organic waste and inorganic waste.</br>Organic waste can be an environmentally friendly type of waste. If properly managed, it can even be a source of something useful. However, due to the rapid decomposition of organic waste, organic waste can cause disease and unpleasant odours if not managed properly. "Hi Baliwiki friends, do you know how many types of organic waste there are? Organic waste is divided into 2, including wet and dry organic waste.</br> 1. Liquid - organic waste</br>Wet organic waste is defined as organic waste that contains a large amount of water. Examples of wet organic waste are vegetable waste, rotten banana peel, onion peel and the like.</br> 2. Dry - organic waste </br>Dry organic wastes are organic wastes that contain a small amount of moisture. Examples of dry organic waste include wood, tree limbs, tree trimmings, wood and dry leaves.</br>Inorganic waste is waste that is no longer in use and is difficult to decompose. Inorganic waste that is buried in the soil can cause soil pollution. This is because inorganic waste is classified as a persistent substance and the waste is buried in the soil for a long time, causing damage to the soil layer. </br>Examples of inorganic waste are: plastic, beverage bottles/cans, crackling, etc.</br>"Now, having explained, have you guys understood? I hope you have". </br>"Do you know what will happens when you mix organic and inorganic waste?</br>Mixing organic and inorganic waste not only causes odour and unsightliness. This pile of mixed organic and inorganic waste can be a threat to human life. Organic waste produces harmful leachate. This liquid can degrade the quality of the soil and air around the waste. Can separating waste help? But what is the importance of waste separation in Indonesia?</br>The importance of waste separation". Rubbish? Hello! Horrible! Everyone avoids it. Everyone gets annoyed when there's rubbish around. Right? Try to imagine if your room was full of other people's rubbish. Wouldn't you be angry? Surprisingly, many of us do litter. If you're riding a motorbike, you casually litter; if you're studying in class, you casually throw rubbish on the floor and don't pick it up. The funny thing is, when you come to a place with a lot of rubbish, you sneer and mutter: "WHAT A SLOB"</br>The importance of waste separation is therefore the facilitation of further waste management. In addition to facilitating further waste management, the sorting of organic and inorganic waste can also reduce air pollution caused by the accumulation of waste that is still mixed between organic and inorganic waste.</br>I took an example of a waste sorting programme from one of the schools in South Kuta, namely SMA Negeri 3 Kuta Selatan. If there is such a programme, are you sure that all the students will follow and implement the programme correctly? "After a lot of instruction from the teachers to the students in the school, it is not necessarily the students and the students will implement the programme correctly, the students and the students consider the programme as a waste sorting programme.</br>The school has provided 10 garbage cans with names and pictures, but the sorting of waste is very complicated;</br>The trash bins provided by the school include:</br> 1. Aluminium litter bin</br> 2. Organic waste bin</br> 3. Pedal bin</br> 4. Plastic waste bin</br> 5. Plastic waste bin</br> 6. Bottle cap bin</br> 7. Clean pet waste bin</br> 8. Residue bin</br> 9. Single layer bin</br>10. Multi-layer bin</br>However, the students at the school still have a mixture of organic and inorganic waste in the same place, which is a bit of a mess, isn't it?</br>The school does not yet have a caretaker to sort the waste. However, the school has been working with the KOMUNITAS PLASTIK EXCANGE KUTA SELATAN and once a month the waste is transported to the school. The school does not know the amount of waste for a month. This is because the school has recently implemented the waste sorting programme.</br>A good example of another school that I have received is from one of the schools in Malang, namely SMA 2 Malang as Adiwiyata Mandiri School Inspiring with Sustainable Waste Management Programme. The success of SMAN 2 Malang's waste management programme is a real example of how education and action can positively impact the environment. It is hoped that this programme will inspire other schools to adopt sustainable waste management practices and create a greener and more environmentally conscious learning environment.onmentally conscious learning environment.)

I am an immigrant living in the Middle East and I booked my wedding for July 2022 with the hope you would all be open in time. Don’t limit the countries, make sure people are tested before they arrive and make sure they have insurance for covid, make sure they are triple vaccinated before flying also.

I have approximately 10 different nationalities attending my wedding from 15 different countries - keep your rules simple, open to all with minor exclusions when needed. And remove the visa cost - it is not good to charge so much when tourists know it’s going straight to the government.

    • Arya Tegeh Kori  + (HISTORY OF ARYA DALEM BENCULUK TEGEHKORI HISTORY OF ARYA DALEM BENCULUK TEGEHKORI</br></br>Chapter one</br></br>Once upon a time in the past, there is a king, Arya Dalem Bansuluk Tegehkori is his name. He is the son of the king Dalem Shri Aji Kresna Kepakisan from Gelgel Klungkung kingdom. He rules the the land of Badeng kingdom. Badeng (or Badung) means dark. Because the land soil at this region is darker than other region. This is the story of his life journey.</br></br>King Ida Dalem Shri Aji Kresna Kepakisan is located at Puri Linggarsapura in Samprangan, Gianyar area. The castle was the former stronghold post of Mahapatih (the great prime minister) Gajahmada’s from Majapahit empire of Java to invade King Bedahulu of Bali kingdom. After Bali kingdom defeated, Ida Dalem Shri Aji Kresna Kepakisan was crowned King of Bali in 1352 AD by Queen Majapahit Tribhuana Tunggadewi. the new king Bali king then separate Bali into few small kingdoms lead by his war generals. He reigned until 1380 AD.</br></br>One day when full moon, king Ida Dalem Shriaji Kresna Kepakisan, took place in the royal hall, was meeting with the prime minister ministers and all his war general. Notable among them are Arya Kenceng son of Arya Damar who was made the ruler in Tabanan, Arya Sentong in Pacung, Arya Beleteng in Pinatih, Arya Kutawaringin in Kapal, Arya Binculu in Tangkas, Arya Pakisan in Abiansemal, Arya Belog in Kaba-kaba, and three knight named Tan Kober, Tan Kawur and Tan Mundur.</br></br>At that time, Arya Kenceng wore chrysanthemum green flowers at his hat. Ida Dalem's heart was shocked when he found out that Arya Kenceng was wearing the green chrysanthemum flower. Immediately his anger rose, due to the slander launched by Arya Pengalasan Jelantik. It is said that Arya Kenceng put magic on the king, so that the king would love and submit to him. Immediately Shri Raja punished Patih Arya Kenceng from war general into gardener with the obligation to clean the hall every day. The commotion at the Puri Dalem Samprangan Hall is thought to have occurred in 1360.</br></br>From that moment on, Arya Kenceng felt very deep sadness and often cried when he remembered his favorite son named Ngurah Tabanan. The son was given the name Ngurah Tabanan, because Arya Kenceng participated in conquering (naban) this Balinese country after fighting against Si Pasung Grigis, the governor of Raja Bedahulu.</br></br>After a long time, it was time for Arya Kenceng to receive God's grace. It was mentioned that the king Ida Dalem had a son who was only eleven months old to crawl. The boy was crawling very fast. The caretaker is named Ni Dasa Dasih. The prince is also getting closer to Arya Kenceng because he often carried out by him. Until one day, Arya Kenceng intention appeared to make efforts to get himself free from punishment. One time when Ida Dalem was sitting in front of his ministers, suddenly the son was released from behind the King. Crawling swiftly and then reaching for king's shoulder. Then approached by Arya Kenceng while lifting the son higher than Ida Dalem's back while apologizing from behind the King. As soon as the king turned his head, he saw the height behind him. The king was furious, then said: "You are very clever at making a ploy. Now, because my son has made a mistake grabbing my shoulder, as written in Niti Sloka (The Kingdom rule), when the king is dressed in his royal dress as the leader of the country, nobody is allowed to touch the king. The rule said whoever touch the king must be execute. But I can’t execute him because he is my son. So, Arya Kenceng, take my son, make him your adopted son, the ceremony with a bonfire on top of which is filled with a buffalo head. Brother him with your son I Ngurah Tabanan. Now I give the name to him Arya Dalem Bansuluk Tegehkuri. (Tegeh mean tall or high and Kori or Kuri mean behind, because he was taller from behind when he touch the king’s shoulder)”. Immediately, Arya Kenceng was unbelievably happy to have a son who was handsome and very smart. Then respectfully excuse himself to bring the prince to his castle at Tabanan, make him brother to Ngurah Tabanan. This tale is also written at Prasasti Babad Dalem Tabanan Tegehkori manuscript. Arya Kenceng then carried out the adopted ceremony according to the mandate of Ida Dalem. </br></br>The blood that flows in prince Arya Dalem Bansuluk Tegehkori from generation to generation remains the blood of Ida Dalem Shri Aji Kresna Kepakisan. Now more than six centuries have passed, all of his genetic descendants remember to always come to offer devotion before The king Ida Bhatara Kawitan Dalem Shri Aji Kresna Kepakisan at his family temple at Mother Temple Besakih.</br></br>Time pass by and the 2 kids now become young men. Between Arya Tegehkori and Ngurah Tabanan, a misunderstanding and conflict arise. Arya Tabanan has a wife, he is jealous that he thinks his wife have an affair with Arya Tegehkori. He always try to harm him in many ways</br></br>Feeling uneasy, Arya Tegehkori decide to leave the Tabanan kingdom then went to get rid of himself to Mount Batur to meditation. After some time meditating there, he got a gift from the god of Mount Batur in the form of a whiting box. If Arya Tegeh Kori wanted to put himself in it, the power of the whiting box would shrink. Whenever it comes out of the box, he can return his body to normal size. That is the magic of the whiting box, a gift from the goddess of Mount Batur, then the god said to Arya Tegehkori: “I gave you the magic box. Now you have to go to Tonjayu Village at the dark land (Badeng). There are some clans inhabit the area like Pasek Bendesa, Pasek Kubayan, Dangka, Ngukuhin, Tangkas and they don't have a king yet. These days they have big ceremony, use this magic box there. Of course you will be appointed king in the Badeng or Badung area. Be a ruler, be a king!“.As the command of Ida Batara Dewi Danu, the goddess of Batur lake and mountain, then Arya Tegehkori left for the Badeng or Badung area. </br></br>When he arrived in the Badung area, it was already evening, so he to the chief’s village house at Tonja. There he concentrated his spiritual power so that he could enter the container of magic whiting boxthat he had placed on the gate. His body shrunk and able to fit in the box perfectly. The next day, when the sun rise, the village chief saw that there was a box on the gate. Then while opening the lid. Seen a small child in the container of whiting box. The chief mind was amazed to see this strange and miraculous event. Immediately Ihe worshiped and said: "My noble Lord". Having just finished saying this, the little boy who was in the box immediately came out. Back in its original form as as a man. Looks good, handsome and dignified. The longer it was seen, the more amazed the chief's feelings. Then Arya Tegehkori then himself. He explained that he was the son of the Bali king Ida Dalem Kresna Kepakisan at the Swecapura Gelgel castle. He was the brother of Arya Tabanan in the country of Tambangan (Tabanan). He also explained clearly how the adventure that he experienced from beginning to end. The chief is amazed and ask him to rest at his house. After the chief carried out the piodalan ceremony, he immediately held discussions with his clan brothers, such as Pasek Gaduh, Kebayan, Dangka, Ngukuhin, Tangkas, about the need to make him a palace and prepare for his coronation to become king as ruler in the Badeng or Badung region, and report to the King of Bali kingdom Shriaji Kresna Kepakisan at the Swecapura Gelgel castle. The king at Gelgel was very agreeable because anyway Arya Tegehkori is his son. At the age of a toddler he was banished from the family. At a young age with the blessing of the goddess Ida Bhatari Ulun Danu Batur and thanks to the approval of the King of Bali who was also his father and for the support of the people, he ascended the throne to become the first King of Badung kingdom.</br></br>In order for him to truly become a noble king in the Land of Badung, the chief again held a deliberation to build a palace worthy of him. The palace was built in the upper reaches of the village or in the north. After the palace was completed, it was there that the king Arya Tegeh Kori resided. After some time as king, he built two holy temple. The temple to worship the God of Agung mountainwas built to the east of the palace. The place for worshiping the goddes Bhatara Dewi Danu Batur is made to the west of the palace called Pura Batursari.</br></br>After a while the king then married. Then his son (2nd dinasty) built another palace, also still in the Badung area, because more and more people live in the Badung area and the condition of the land is fertile. After the second palace was built, it was named Puri Satria (Satria palace), as a characteristic that he was a descendant of Knights. Meanwhile, the Tegehkori palace (1st dinasty) in Tonja was named Puri Dalem Benculuk. In the recently completed castle, a pair of very tall palace gates were also built, none of which were on par in all of Bali. The disadvantage is that if it is broken, it is rather difficult to repair it, presumably that is His wish to build a very high gate at Puri Satria, so that it is in accordance with the name of his father in Tegehkori. The Tegehkori dynasty is ruling the kingdom from 1378 - 1687.</br></br>Chapter Two</br></br></br>Meanwhile at Tambangan (Tabanan) kingdom, after king Arya Kenceng passed away, his son Arya Tabanan replace him as king. He have crown prince name Ngurah Rangong. The old king Arya Tabanan suffered a seriuos illness, then moved to live at the village of Kebon Tingguh. Ngurah Rangong intention was to wait for the throne to become the king of Tabanan kingdom. The old king Arya Tabanan was served by a woman named Luh Bendesa from Buahan village. During the service, the king touched Luh Bendesa and become pregnant. From this relationship, Luh Bendesa then gave birth to a son who was named I Gusti Pucangan. Later on the king is passed away. After Arya Tabanan died, Ngurah Rangong become next king. But he is afraid that Pucangan someday will also claim his territory. Ngurah Rangong made efforts so that Pucangan would soon meet his death. Outside the Tambangan palace, there is a very sacred banyan tree. King Ngurah Rangong then ordered his younger brother, Pucangan, to cut the tree branches. However, to the great surprise of the brother, it turned out that the younger brother was still safe. Since then I Gusti Pucangan has been named Gusti Bagus Alit Notor Wandira. The king never stop to try to kill his brother. </br></br>Unable to stand it, Pucangan then left Tambangan palace to Mount Batur. On the shores of Lake Batur appeared the goddes Ida Bhatari Tolangkir who said: "Hi Pucangan, what are you looking for here alone?".</br>Gusti Pucangan replied: "Oh dear goddess, this servant is too troubled. I have a half brother who was made king by my father. Besides, my brother I Gusti Rangong was hostile to. ” Ida Batari again said: "If you are devoted to me, uphold me through the lake water, take me to Mount Batur". Pucangan replied: "I will do, even if it make myself sinking”. By the magical power of goddess Ida Bhatari, Pucangan walked safely across the lake to Mount Batur will upheld the goddess.</br>Goddes Ida Bhatari said: "O Pucangan, you truly devote to me, now I give you a whip and a tulup (a traditional Bali weapon made by bamboo) You must go to Gelgel palace and kill the king’s enemies in the form of raven, because they often ruin the king’s food. It is this whip and dipper that you used to kill that evil raven. After it is successful, someday you Pucangan will become king in the Land of Badung ”.</br></br>This incident occurred when the Balinese Kingdom, which was centered in Klungkung, was led by King Dalem Anom Sagening (1580-1665) who was residing at Puri Swecapura palace at Gelgel. Meanwhile, the King of Badung at that time was I Gusti Tegehkori V. The blessing of goddess Ida Bhatari and the approval of the King of Bali were the main assets obtained by Pucangan in achieving success of gaining power.</br></br>Prince Pucangan continued his journey, accompanied by a follower named Tambiak from Mount Batur to the Swecapura Palace at Gelgel. It was mentioned that Ida Dalem was in the hall faced by his prime minister. I Gusti Pucangan then confronted him and declared that he was able to kill the crow, who often ruined the king's food. King Ida Dalem was surprised, then asked: "Where are you from son and what is your name?". Pucangan replied: “Master, this servant is named is Pucangan from Buahan Village, son of the late king Arya Tabanan. I just came from Mount Batur ”, then he explained his life from the beginning until now. Immediately he also remembered Ida Dalem about the past stories and he was very happy about the arrival of someone who would help to destroy the crow.</br>The next day, the prime minister had gathered to meet Ida Dalem. In the afternoon the crow came who was going to spoil King's meal. Prince Pucangan quickly shoot the tulup, hitting the raven’s wing until it broke. After being hit and falling, King ordered to hit it with a whip, so that the crow met his death immediately. Ravens are often used as symbols of darkness, anger and death.</br></br>After that, the king was very happy. "Now, because of your great devotion to me," he was then presented with a set of clothes. He continued saying: "what else do you ask for?". Prince Pucangan remember with the words of goddess Ida Bhatari Tolangkir when he met on Mount Batur who would grant the area in Badung. Then the prince Gusti Pucangan asked to be given a place in the Badung area. With pleasure the King granted, then said: “I granted your request Pucangan, after all there at the land of badung, your family Arya Tegehkori at the Satria Palace ruled. You better get there, go ". Pucangan then go to Badung kingdom to be precise at the house of the chief of Lumintang Village.</br></br>Furthermore, the chief of Lumintang informed the king about the arrival of the prince Pucangan. The king Gusti Tegehkori IV was very happy to accept the arrival of his family, prince Pucangan. The king then give him 250 people to build a palace to the southwest of Puri Satria palace. The new palace was named Puri Jambe palace. The king then appointed him as punggawa (guardian knight) of Badung kingdom. </br></br>After king Tegeh Kori IV passed away, his son Tegeh Kori V replace him as king and have beautiful 15 years daughter named Ayu Genjot and handsome 13 year boy named Ngurah Raden. Prince Pucangan request the king to allowed his son to marry her daughter. But at other hand, the old king of Mengwi kingdom also propose the princess to marry his crown prince. At that time, Mengwi kingdom become more powerful and have larger troops than peaceful Badung kingdom. So the king decide to accept the Mengwi king’s propose. </br></br>Prince Pucangan is furious to hear that. Night before the Mengwi’s prince arrive to marry the princess, Pucangan with his troops storming the Satria palace. Pucangan is the guardian knight of Badung kingdom. He knows the palace so well and most of the troops is loyal to him. The palace is chaos and burn down. Considering the safety of his family, the king then decide to escape from the palace. Only five of them on that dark night Arya Dalem Tegehkori V (I Gusti Made Tegeh) escaped with the empress and her two sons and an in-law named Munang. His departure did not carry anything, only a box of inscriptions which was the heirloom of Puri Satria palace that he carried. All his cousins and other family also escape and scatter into many directions around Bali. The Tegehkori dynasty at Badung kingdom is fallen.</br></br>Chapter 3</br></br>Year 1724, During the five days he retreated in the mountain & forest, his children almost died because they did not eat anything. The group of Gusti Made Tegeh family arrived at a Village and went straight to the house of a village chief named I Pengkoh. It is very respectful that chief Pengkoh and his family entertain the guest of honor. For twenty days Gusti Made Tegeh group stayed at the house of the chief. One time, it was the middle of the dry season, so in a short time the rice supply in the barn ran out. What remains is only rat droppings mixed with grain skin, chief Pengkoh's wife only found that out. Chief Pengkoh prepared a pot in the kitchen to cook rice. Until the water in the pot was boiling, his wife did not get a grain of rice. Chief Pengkoh's anger rise, he then poured the hot water and scold his wife. Gusti Made Tegeh witnessed this very unpleasant incident, which made him feel very embarrassed.</br></br>After a discussion with his brother-in-law, I Munang, the former King and his brother-in-law went to hunt some food to the mountains. Meanwhile his wife and two children were left at chief’s house. After Gusti Made Tegeh left for the mountain, chief Pengkoh's evil thought occurred. His two children were ask to permission to his mother to accompany him to find rice. His mother agreed, so they left. In the middle of their journey, the children of Gusti Made Tegeh were tricked into making their way to the Denbukit area (later called Buleleng). When he arrived in Kalianget Village, his two kids were sold by chief Pengkoh to Ngurah Kalianget for 150 pieces of belongings plus a number of cloths.</br></br>After 10 days Gusti Made Tegeh and his brother-in-law went to the mountains for hunting, finally they back to chief’s house. They asked her the whereabouts of his children to his wife. She explained that their children was taken to the mountain by the chief. It's been 10 days yet to come back. When Gusti Made Tegeh heard his wife's answer, he was shocked and realized the misery they were experiencing. While shedding tears, he then told his wife and I Munang that the two of them would look for their children to Karangasem area. He himself looked to Denbukit.

He was rewarded with as many as two hundred followers, including forty of whom were teenagers. He then assign into the sedahan agung (treasurer of the king) and also his war advisor. Nobody equals the wisdom of King Denbukit, so that it is respected by anyone, has the authority as a descendant of the warrior king of the gods. No one dared to oppose his orders. It could be said that the prosperity of the kingdom which was centered at the Sukasada Palace. Under his command, Denbukit kingdom spreading their teritory by invading many village to knee under Denbukit authority. Gusti Made Tegeh did this in order to find his children. Half of Bali island then become the territory of Denbukit kingdom. </br></br>Now it is told that the chief of Kalianget village name Ngurah Sindhuwedang have Gusti Made Tegeh sons and daughter and made them into servant at his house. The village of Kalianget has a population of 1,450 people. Ngurah Kalianget, who had a haughty heart and was very jealous of Denbukit King decided to fight the Denbukit kingdom. But the king quickly heard of him, and ordered Gusti Made Tegeh to beat Ngurah Kalianget before he could gather his strength. Quickly, Gusti Made Tegeh brought 200 elite warrior on their way to Kalianget Village.</br></br>When Gusti Made Tegeh troops arrived and recon the Kalianget Village, they found out that Ngurah Kalianget 1.000 soldiers were also on preparation to attack Sukasada palace. Gusti Made Tegeh and his 200 elite warriors prepare to attack at night. The attack was carried out suddenly at night made the Ngurah Kalianget soldiers shocked and confuse, they feel like stormed by thousands of enemies accompanied by spirits. Ngurah Kalianget soldier lost and surrendered. Ngurah Kalianget was taken prisoner, the whole house and its young and old residents were seized and taken to Puri Sukasada that dawn. By order of the king, Ngurah Kalianget was sentenced to death. Then he bring all other prisoners to kingdom prison. They were mixed up, including Gusti Made Tegeh children who had been sold and hidden in Kalianget. Until the end of the attack on Kalianget, he did not know the whereabouts of his children. </br></br>Suddenly Gusti Made Tegeh hear 2 young teenager cried heartbreaking among the prisoners, calling out her father and mother: "O the holy king of Tegehkori, look at me, it's been such a long time now that we haven't met my father and mother, I hope God Ida Sang Hyang Widhi will bring them together as soon as possible". Because the boy's lamentation and mention his ancestor Tegehkori, attracted enough attention and immediately approached the two young teenager. He shock that they are his children, Ayu Genjot and Ngurah Raden. The father and children finally reunite again Meanwhile his wife and her brother who had been traveling for a long time looking for their sons and daughters in the Karangasem area, then heard the news that Gusti Made Tegeh had gathered with their children at his place at Puri Sukasada palace. They hurriedly came to Denbukit and headed for the Sukasada Palace and there they reunite together, He was very happy. </br></br>After awhile, he order his son Ngurah Raden & his brother in law to return to Badung kingdom to meet the new king Pucangan. Arriving in Badung, since the Satria palace had been occupied by I Gusti Pucangan who later ascended the throne to become the king of Badung, he faced Ngurah Raden to his castle, claiming to be ordered back by his father Gusti Made Tegeh because anyway they are still family and understand why Pucangan furious and raid him. He hold no grudge. Pucangan love and care Ngurah Raden since he’s a baby and always carry him everywhere when he was act as the guardian knight of Badung. Ngurah Raden also childhood friend and like brother to his sons. Gusti Made Tegeh know that Pucangan will never have the heart to kill Ngurah Raden. Because Pucangan felt himself reunited with his nephew, he gladly presented 200 people and 40 plots of rice fields to Ngurah Raden. At the king's orders, he built a palace on the west side of the river on a forest plot. After completion, the palace was given the name Jro Kuta palace. King Pucangan have 2 sons. The older ones were given a place to live in the east of the river and given an inheritance weapon. Later the palace was called Puri Denpasar palace (because it was located north of the market). Meanwhile, his younger brother was made a place to live in the west of the river and was given an heirloom weapon, therefore the palace was later called Puri Pamecutan. After a long period of time when king Gusti Pucangan ruled in the Badung Kingdom, he died, then he was replaced by his two sons who both competed to become king to replace their father to become king in Badung State.</br></br>For a long time Gusti Made Tegeh lived in the vicinity of the Sukasada Denbukit Palace. He was very active in helping the king prosper the country, so that the king loved him very much. Her daughter Ayu Genjot also became a dancer and was later married to a nobleman from the village of Petandakan.</br></br>Someday the king Gusti Agung Gede of Mengwi Kingdom wants to visit Denbukit kingdom. Considering that King Mengwi was very famous for his supernatural power, the Denbukit king intended to try to test if it was true as the news was. He order Gusti Made Tegeh to ambush the Mengwi king’s parade. He bring 40 elite warriors to ambush under the kepuh tree in the Banyuning cemetery.</br></br>Then came the moment he had been waiting for, Mengwi king’s parade arrive. The king was carried and accompanied by 200 of his people. When he was close, then king Mengwi who was being carried on a stretcher, was intercepted by Gusti Made Tegeh, and he was speared violently. However, he was not hurt in the slightest because his body was so invincible. King Mengwi said to his companions: "send me down, O soldier". Then He got down from the stretcher and immediately took a meditative stance. In an instant he changed his form into resemble Bhuta Sungsang, a giant with six eyes, six arms, six legs and six heads. It seems that no one will be able to match His supernatural powers in this world. There the troops brought by Gusti Made Tegeh felt fear and all of them ran helter-skelter. Meanwhile, Gusti Made Tegeh himself retreated and hid himself far enough to the west in the forest hills of Pedawa.</br></br>Returning to king of Mengwi, the assassination attempt he had just experienced did not dampen his steps towards the Sukasada Palace. On arrival at Puri Sukasada palace, laughing out loud, he received a warm welcome from King Denbukit whom asking for forgiveness. King Mengwi said: “Okay, son, there's no need to extend this issue because I already know that you only want to test my supernatural power. Now this old man only asks you son, to search the person that order to attack me. This old man was very surprised of the courage of this man and also his loyalty to was amazing. You have never met someone like that, I have a feeling that he is a descendant of a famous knights ".</br></br>Then the king of Denbukit ordered his troops to look for Gusti Made Tegeh. However, even though they traces or days, they still cannot be found Gusti Made Tegeh. He was hiding at the top of a millet tree. When the troops approaching, there are some doves perch at the millet branch. Gusti Made Tegeh pray and begging to doves the millet tree to let him stay there. Normally, dove bird will fly away if there are people around it. But suddenly these doves singing. The troops saw it and assume that nobody there and passing by. Gusti Made Tegeh then make an oath that none of his descendant will eat millet fruit or harm any dove. </br></br> </br>Until 7 days he remained there. With a sluggish body, emaciated and very dirty, then he walked slowly leaving the millet field towards the west, taking refuge in the village of Patemon. The situation when he arrived at the village indicated that it was already evening. He headed for the rice trading house, wife of the puppeteer Patemon. He was very pity for her to see that his condition was very tired and emaciated, so she was invited him to their house and served with food. The pupetter's family sympathy for Gusti Made Tegeh for being chased by royal soldiers. The pupetter's family then making a well hole for him to take shelter in. Everyday afternoon he hid himself in a foxhole. When night fell, He was taken out of the shelter. He made friends with the villagers. It has been for 15 days since he stay there and very uncomfortable and don’t want the helper family involve in trouble. He excused himself from pupetter’s house and then left to Bubunan Village. In that village, he also made friends with the villagers. For about a month in Bunbunan Village, Arya Dalem's mind grew more restless. He is thinking about his family that might be executed because he failed the king’s order. Then he decide to go back to Sukasada palace to prepare his death sentence but will beg for his family life to spare. 10 of villagers accompany him.</br></br>Arriving at Puri Sukasada, the two kings were sitting rejoicing in the palace facing the royal servants. They was surprised to see people who had just arrived dressed all in white. The white cloth a sign that they will be willing to die if something unwanted happens. So Gusti Made Tegeh and his ten followers presented a bow while begging for mercy in front of the two kings if they were judged to have done something wrong. </br></br>The king of mengwi then ask Gusti Made Tegeh who he really is. Who is his true identity. He then said that he is the descendant of Arya Tegehkori, the founder of Badung kingdom. He tell them all his journey. King Mengwi then said: "O Arya, in my opinion, what you did to me was absolutely innocent. I thought, you only carrying out your loyalty towards the king of Denbukit, carrying out orders to attack. Now, my son the king of Denbukit, from now on never ever forget the loyalty and sincerity of the sacrifices that Gusti Made Tegeh has given to you forever ”.</br></br>After saying this, King Mengwi summoned a servant of his companion to take a keris and a spear at the place of his bed. After king Mengwi order that, Gusti Made Tegeh and all of his 10 followers immediately experienced extreme anxiety and fear. Of course they think that this is the time when the death sentence start. </br></br>The servant then handed over a keris and a spear, and was accepted by the King of Mengwi, saying: "O Arya, this is my gift in the form of a keris and a spear. This keris is called Carita Belebang, its usefulness is to maintain safety and the enemy doesn't dare see it. This spear is called Lelemon, it has great authority. This is proof so that from now on down from generation to generation, from life to death, never forget the descendants of King Denbukit, and also for my son the king of Denbukit, never forget Gusti Made Tegeh descendants forever. You must always help and support each other. Remember, whoever forgets this mandate of mine will find misery and heartbreak”</br></br>Thus again said the King of Mengwi: "And now, O Arya, which land that you will request ?”.</br>Hearing the words of King Mengwi which greatly pleased Gusti Made Tegeh, then he said: "If it is allowed, Bubunan Village is my request, because they are very loyal to me when I find trouble”.</br></br>Thus, Bubunan, Sulanyah, Tanguwisia Village was awarded to Gusti Made Tegeh. Then Gusti Made Tegeh and his family is allowed to return with his followers to Bubunan Village. For about 3 years he lived in Bubunan Village, because the land there was uneven. then they moved to Muntis Village ( later on change its name to Pengastulan village).</br></br>Epilogue</br></br>At Pengastulan, Gusti Made Tegeh became punggawa (guardian knight) and stay at a house name Jero Lingsir. Right to the west of his house he built an ancestral temple which was named Pura Badung as a honor to his ancestors whom was the King of Badung. He wrote all his extra ordinary journey into a manuscript called Prasasti Pura Badung. This prasasti is then passed through generations, along with his family tree. He and his descendant swear that they will always serve to Denbukit (Buleleng) kingdom forever.</br></br>Until later Dutch invade the kingdom and fall after the Great Battle of Jagaraga on 1849.d fall after the Great Battle of Jagaraga on 1849.)

According to the BBC Indonesia website, a number of posts mention foreign tourists in Bali working illegally by offering photography services, motorcycle training, surfing, haircuts, and selling vegetables. This has made a number of Balinese residents worried that their income space is getting narrower. So how can prospective leaders overcome this? The leaders can conduct routine data collection of every business and MSME in their area of power, if necessary, a comprehensive and routine population data collection is carried out so that illegal elements are immediately caught and followed up. From the sources I read, the central government plans to implement a rule that requires foreigners entering tourism islands such as Bali to pay a non-tax rate of 10$. That way, foreigners who enter Bali can be recorded without exception.</br></br> That's all my speech, sorry for my mistakes, and last I'd say Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om.d last I'd say Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om.)

How was the trip, was it smooth as snow or did it make your head spin? Some say that the roads in Bali are good and safe to use, but many say that many roads in Bali are still damaged and unsafe to ride. </br></br>Denpasar, the capital of Bali, is often found to have damaged roads that are difficult to pass through. So, what about the roads located in villages in several districts in Bali. Many rural areas have collapsed roads, potholes, and even broken roads. Road maintenance and repairs have indeed been carried out but it must be more evenly distributed so that not only a few main roads are repaired. Many roads in remote areas have been damaged and impassable for years but have yet to receive reinforcements. </br></br>Articles and social media often report on traffic jams, accidents, and delayed delivery of goods, but it is rarely known that one of the main causes is road damage. Damaged roads tend to make it impossible for people to pass through. This causes some jobs, delivery of goods and trade activities around the road to be disrupted which will certainly disrupt the economy of the community.</br></br>With the 2024 election, it is certainly the hope of the people that there will be a revitalization of the new government in the improvement and development of the community which can be started from the main problem, namely roads. The government must be able to allocate existing funds as well as possible for the construction of roads that are evenly distributed throughout Bali. Even though it has a lot of fund, if they are not allocated properly the results will be useless and there will be no complete balance. Roads are important in every activity we do, especially Bali as a tourist destination visited by many foreign tourists.

Balawan has developed the 8 Fingers Touch Style technique, which also known as the Touch-Tapping Style. He is often regarded as one of the fastest guitarists in Indonesia. He is also called The Magic Finger guitarist among the world's music community.</br></br>Personal life</br>Balawan listened to Balinese gamelan, a traditional music style from Bali, since birth. At the age of eight he taught himself to play guitar. He joined his first band when he was 14 years old. Although he grew up in a traditional Balinese culture, Balawan played more rock songs than gamelan. Some of his favorite bands were The Scorpions, Deep Purple and The Beatles.</br></br>Eventually he became bored with rock music and decided to study jazz at the Australian Institute of Music in Sydney.During his studies towards a Diploma of Music, he was awarded a three-year scholarship. He studied in Sydney for about five years, during which time he also gained popularity for his exceptional talent of playing guitar and jazz music. After he obtained his Diploma of Music in 1997, he went back to Bali and formed a band called Batuan Ethnic Fusion, which combined the traditional Balinese gamelan music with jazz / fusion style.</br></br>Career</br>His first professional band, Batuan Ethnic Fusion, is still active. Besides being a band member, Balawan is also working on his solo career and has released three albums. His first solo album was "Balawan", which released in 1997 by the Acoustic Music Label, a German company. Later, he worked with an Indonesian company, and with his band, he released his first band album, "GloBALIsm", under Chico&Ira production in 1999. Recently Balawan launched his second solo album, "Magic Fingers", under the Sony-BMG Music Indonesia label. Magic Fingers really showcases Balawan's abilities in arranging and composing and his ability to blend modern music with traditional Balinese gamelan.</br></br>Indra Lesmana about Balawan: "It's always exciting to find new things in art and Batuan Ethnic Fusion is a perfect example of artist who explore into the great spectrum in art with passion, love, beauty and freedom..." </br></br>As Balawan is considered as the only Indonesian guitarist who able to develop and use the "Touch Tapping" style, he often plays in Germany and Norway.

In 2011 Balawan appeared at the 16th Other Minds festival in San Francisco.</br></br>Technique</br>Balawan has developed and expanded a technique called "Touch Tapping" style. The technique enables the guitarist to play two or even three different music progressions at the same time using the same instrument continuously. Another notable player of this technique is Stanley Jordan, an American jazz/fusion guitarist. Balawan developed the same progression with Stanley Jordan, that he is able to produce a piano, bass and guitar at the same time using just one instrument.</br></br>Usually Balawan uses all four fingers of his right hand to create the melody progressions and his left hand to create the bass and rhythmic sounds. Another unique thing is that there is no pattern or repetition whatsoever between the left and right hand. Thus Balawan has a very exceptional skill of playing guitar.</br>Balawan also plays drums, both to fill the tracks on his albums and to develop the "Touch Tapping" style.</br></br>Equipment</br>Since Balawan needs to play rhythmic progression and melody at the same time, he uses a special guitar with two necks made by Tommy Kaihatu that also known as Rick Hanes Guitar. Balawan's Rick Hanes Guitar has a double neck with six strings on both upper neck and lower neck, which utilises MIDI pickups to translate the notes he plays into MIDI notes played via off-board synths and samplers.</br></br>Balawan uses Rick Hanes guitars exclusively, which are Balawan Double Neck Series, Balawan Mini Guitar Series and Essel-Balawan Custom Series.

On this auspicious occasion, allow me to deliver a speech titled “Issues Arising from Land Use Change in the Life of the Balinese Community.”</br> Ladies and gentlemen, land use change refers to a shift in the function of land from its previous purpose. Land use change in the Bali region has become increasingly prevalent lately, marked by phenomena such as the reduction of productive agricultural land. Indonesia is an agrarian country, and a significant portion of its population works as farmers. What will happen if agricultural land, the source of basic necessities for the Balinese people, continues to be converted into residential areas, coupled with an influx of newcomers requiring them to build dwellings? Another observable phenomenon is the decrease in water catchment areas. Soil is a powerful rainwater absorber. If land with soil is converted into housing, buildings using concrete and paving will indirectly reduce water catchment areas. This becomes hazardous when the rainy season arrives, and the increased use of concrete and paving reduces water catchment areas, leading to higher water volumes and flooding in certain areas. In the last rainy season in Bali, there were numerous flood disasters that resulted in residents losing their homes. Such events will undoubtedly have a negative impact on sustainability, as if left unchecked, the relatively small island of Bali, combined with the increasing trend of land use change, can cause discomfort in the surrounding environment, a decline in food productivity, global warming, and many other terrifying consequences of land use change.</br> Based on these issues, I hope that the future leaders in 2024 can provide solutions to address the escalating land use change. Bali’s leaders are expected to be faithful custodians, safeguarding the land of Bali and enacting regulations that prioritize and champion the land, customs, and culture of Bali.</br> To all my friends, let us protect the land of Bali from the dangers of land use change so that Bali’s land remains sustainable. That is all I can convey; I apologize for any shortcomings. I conclude with Parama Santhi, Om Santhi, Santhi Om. with Parama Santhi, Om Santhi, Santhi Om.)

One of these areas, Badung Regency, faces similar problems, and several solutions can be proposed to address them. Firstly, the construction of a better drainage system is an important step in flood mitigation. Efficient drainage can help facilitate the flow of rainwater and prevent waterlogging on roads and residential areas. Regular cleaning and maintenance are also necessary to keep the drainage system functioning optimally.</br></br>Furthermore, vegetation planting and land rehabilitation can be long-term solutions to strengthen soil absorption capacity. By increasing vegetation such as trees and shrubs, rainwater can be more easily absorbed by the soil, reducing the risk of erosion. Afforestation and restoration programs can help improve the ecosystem and reduce the risk of future floods. Additionally, better spatial planning is key to preventing floods. Local governments need to ensure that development takes into account environmental aspects and flood risk potentials. Mapping flood-prone areas and controlling development in those areas can reduce vulnerability to floods.</br></br>Increasing public awareness is also crucial in efforts to address floods. Through education and campaigns, residents can be informed about the importance of environmental conservation and eco-friendly behaviors, such as proper waste disposal and vegetation preservation. The more people involved in environmental conservation, the lower the risk of floods. Moreover, technology can be an effective tool in flood anticipation. Early warning systems connected to weather monitoring can provide quick and accurate information about potential floods, enabling early evacuation and other mitigation measures.</br></br>Furthermore, the use of technology in drainage management and flood control can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of these efforts. With a combination of various solutions, it is hoped that the flood risk in Badung Regency can be reduced.

Indonesia, as a country that adheres to a collectivistic culture, also has a fairly high number of suicide cases. WHO estimates that in 2020 the suicide rate in Indonesia could reach 2.4 percent of 100,000 people if it does not receive serious attention from various parties. Bali Province is one of the provinces in Indonesia that has a fairly high number of suicide cases. Most suicide cases in Bali are committed by teenagers in young adulthood. One of the factors that influences the emergence of behavior, including suicidal behavior and suicide attempts, is self-concept. Self-concept is an individual's perception of himself, his perception of his social environment, and his perception of other people's views of him. Apart from that, the environment where you live also has a big influence on a person's mental health. If someone is in a positive environment, of course their mental health will be better maintained. However, if someone is in a bad environment, it can have a negative impact on that person's mental health. One of them is that it can cause suicidal thoughts. Therefore, suicide cases really need attention from the public so that they understand and are more open about mental health for teenagers. </br></br>But unfortunately, suicide cases are often underestimated by most of society. People think that mental health is not important to pay attention to. In fact, someone who has mental health problems really needs the attention of the people around them to continue to receive encouragement and attention. With all the existing problems, attention and encouragement are needed from the community and government in dealing with suicide cases in Bali.</br></br>In an effort to overcome these cases, the government can optimize mental health screening by providing outreach to the public to create awareness of the importance of mental health for humans, especially teenagers. Apart from that, society and the government can also build an anti-suicide community for teenagers to minimize the existing death rate and teenagers can also express the feelings they have. By adopting this solution, it is hoped that society and the government will become more aware of the importance of mental health. In this way, it is hoped that society can build a positive environment so that the death rate caused by suicide cases will decrease. Let's care about the importance of mental health! </br></br>That's the speech we can deliver. If there are something wrong in words or writing, please forgive us. We close with Paramasantih.

In 2023, Klungkung district will be led by Mr. Nyoman Suwirta. A program that is viral, well-known and used as a role model among the people of Klungkung is the TOSS (Local Waste Processing Place) program. This program received a lot of praise and positive comments from the Klungkung community, and from outside Klungkung. However, recently the TOSS program has not run according to the initial plan and has been ineffective in solving the waste problem in Klungkung. The acting Regent of Klungkung, I Nyoman Jendrika, said that the main problem in Klungkung is the increase in waste volume by up to 2 times, from previously 16 tonnes now to 32 tonnes a day. In other sources, some say that the cause of this waste problem is a lack of public awareness about the function of a beautiful and clean environment. This is also what causes Klungkung to have a lot of rubbish.</br></br>Now, what solutions should we take as the young generation of Bali to create a sustainable and clean Klungkung area? The solution that I can convey and recommend is to implement the Tri Hita Karana teachings.</br></br>Why Tri Hita Karana? What is the relation?</br></br>Tri Hita Karana is one of the Hindu teachings in Bali. Tri Hita karana means "3 things that cause prosperity", which is divided into 3 parts:</br></br>1. Parhyangan: Parhyangan is our relationship with Ida Sang Hyang Widhi as the ruler of the universe. I think, if we discuss the word "Parhyangan" we will definitely think of the means of prayer and offerings. However, what I want to discuss is not that, but this parhyangan is about our behavior in holy places such as temples. We should maintain the cleanliness of the temple, by cleaning or offering ngayah. Existing rubbish must not be thrown into rivers or sewers, but must be processed into something more useful. This is also a form of our good relationship with Ida Sang Hyang Widhi.</br></br>2. Pawongan: Pawongan is our relationship with other humans. As Balinese people, we should help each other and care about human suffering. Based on the waste problem, we can all implement the teachings of Tri Hita Karana by reminding each other about the importance of a clean and healthy environment. I mean, waste processing in Klungkung doesn't have to be done and processed by TOSS and the government alone, but we all have to try to sort or process waste in our homes. If we could sort and process it in our respective homes, the problem of waste piling up in Klungkung would definitely be resolved.</br></br>3. Palemahan ; This Palemahan is one of the teachings of Tri Hita Karana which is most appropriate to the waste problem above. We as citizens of Bali, especially Hindus, definitely believe that humans, animals and beasts are God's creation. Therefore, our relationship with our environment must be maintained. One way to protect our environment is by processing waste. We as the people of Klungkung certainly already know about this TOSS program, therefore let's work together to sort and process waste from our respective homes so that this TOSS can run smoothly and effectively.</br></br>In essence, the teachings of Balinese ancestors are things that should be implemented in this era of globalization. Although, it is possible to implement it using modern understanding and methods. We as teenagers or the young generation of Bali should not be lulled by globalization. We must be aware of the latest news, and always preserve Balinese cultural traditions as a role model in our efforts towards a beautiful and clean Bali.fforts towards a beautiful and clean Bali.)

The Island of Bali is too beautiful to be inhabited by these grim animals.</br></br>These animals are pets tortured cruelly for personal pleasure, beaten to disability out of hatred, stolen to be eaten. Animals employed like the overworked horses forced to endure harsh conditions. Experimental animals, such as frogs dissected without anesthesia, also suffer unwarranted pain.</br></br>I appeal to the Bali Province Regional Council to strengthen Regional Regulation No. 1 of 2023 regarding the Protection of Flora and Fauna. I highlight the ambiguity in the rules regarding the definition of "keeping" animals in Article 11 paragraph 1 section c. However, in Article 1 paragraph 9, it states that Wildlife includes all animals living on land, in water, or in the air, retaining their wild nature, whether they live freely or are kept by humans.</br></br>With clear and robust legal foundations, many positive things will emerge: more people will dare to speak up for animal protection, impart moral lessons to children, and raise awareness of the importance of compassion towards animals, boosting the government's morality in the eyes of the public.

Om Sywastyastu. Through a pure and sinless heart, I never cease to express my gratitude to God Almighty, because with His blessings, I can meet with this audience today. In which I participate in the oration competition in today’s Public Participation Wikithon. Hopefully, events like this will continue to grow in the future, making Bali strong. Ladies and gentlemen, the subject of my oration is titled “Good Education as a Tool to Improve the Quality of Bali’s Human Resources”.</br></br>Ladies and gentlemen, what made me take that title? Because from a lot of what I see I conclude the youth in Bali do not get a good education. This makes it difficult for Balinese human resources to get a job that can develop the economy of the province of Bali. According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics in 2021, the percentage of Balinese who did not go to school was 1.03 thousand people or 24.04%; then those who did not graduate from elementary school were 377.18 thousand people or 8.83%. Based on these data from the Central Bureau of Statistics, the government and Balinese people, especially students, should try to implement programs that can help Balinese people who have not received proper education. Then, what programs can be implemented? Let’s think together.</br></br>As a Balinese youth, I will provide solutions or suggestions to the ladies and gentlemen of the DPD Bali as well as the government who is the mouthpiece of the community, to always help provide good knowledge to all Balinese. The first suggestion: pay attention to the quality and quantity of the teachers. Teachers or educators are like the main key that will teach or provide knowledge to students. If teachers’ wages, facilities and accommodation are not good or adequate, it will affect the teaching process. Secondly, school and classroom support facilities should be prioritized. When the learning process takes place, but the facilities used are not complete, of course the teacher and students will have diffulties and the learning process in the classroom will be disrupted. The third suggestion is to provide the youth with positive out-of-school activities or out-of-school learning programs. Good examples are carrying out and participating in competitions, participating in community service programs as well as other useful work. With these activities students do not only to learn at school.</br></br>Ladies and gentlemen, based on the many things I have talked about, I would like to conclude as follows. The Balinese government and people should not underestimate education. Because through education, we can get a good job to improve the quality of Bali’s underdeveloped human resources. Also the Balinese are expected not to be swayed by the wealth that exists in today’s world, called “Industrial Revolution 4.0”. Let us together help Balinese who have not received a good education through positive and useful programs or activities. Lastly, we should introspect ourselves so as not to forget ourselves and together carry out our religious obligations by strengthening Bali.</br></br>Well, ladies and gentlemen whom I respect very much, that’s all I can say on this good day. Thank you to those who have witnessed my speech. Hopefully what I have said will be useful. For any shortcomings, let me apologize. In closing, I say paramasanthi. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om.ramasanthi. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om.)

Allow us to express our gratitude to Ida Sang Hayang Widhi Wasa, for it is through His grace that we gather on this auspicious day. With heartfelt devotion, we begin with panganjali:</br></br>Om swastyastu</br> </br>our honorable guest, the oration we will deliver today is entitled "Foreign Citizens are disturbing the Balinese people". Recently, foreign tourists or "foreigners" in Bali have been in the public spotlight because they are acting up and making people anxious. Instead of being deterred, foreigners who were found committing various violations in Bali actually resisted when the police took action. Not just one violation but many violations committed by foreigners, such as: 1. Increased Traffic Violations:</br>Statistical data records a dramatic increase in traffic violations committed by a number of foreigners. A lack of concern for road rules and safety not only threatens local communities but also creates significant risks for foreigners themselves. This increase reflects troubling non-compliance, necessitating more effective enforcement actions and more intensive awareness campaigns.</br></br>2. Adverse Immigration Problems:</br>High levels of overstaying and violations of immigration regulations create a serious burden on the immigration system. The economic and social impacts of this behavior are very real, given the resources that must be allocated to deal with these cases. Increased controls and enhanced immigration enforcement actions are imperative to ensure compliance with existing provisions and maintain the integrity of the immigration system.</br></br>3. Establishing a Business Without a Permit:</br>The establishment of businesses without proper permits by some foreigners is detrimental to the local economy, creating disproportionate inequality in business competition. This problem not only concerns economic aspects but also raises questions of rights and justice in business. An in-depth evaluation of the economic and social impacts of these practices is needed to determine solutions that can address these problems without harming those who comply with the rules.</br></br>4. Non-compliance with Environmental Regulations:</br>The behavior of foreigners who do not comply with environmental regulations creates a serious threat to ecological sustainability in Bali. These cases include littering, damage to local plants, and violations of sustainability principles. A thorough evaluation of the long-term impacts of this environmental damage needs to be carried out to understand the implications for the ecosystem and the welfare of local communities.stem and the welfare of local communities.)

    • Ngwangun malih titi pengancan kewagedan  + (Libraries are often thought of as a bridgeLibraries are often thought of as a bridge to knowledge, a place where individuals can find lessons, inspiration, and entertainment. However, in the city of Denpasar, Bali, libraries face a number of problems that impede public access to this valuable intellectual resource. With the experiences and stories of local people, we can understand how important it is to overcome these challenges and rebuild the foundation of libraries as inclusive and effective learning centers. One of the major problems faced by libraries in the City of Denpasar is inconsistent operational schedules. Many libraries are only open during normal business hours, even on weekdays, making it difficult for workers or students with busy schedules to visit. In fact, some libraries even close on weekends, when many people have free time to study or enjoy reading. This causes frustration and reduces the public's interest in using library facilities. In addition, unresponsive service and lack of effective communication are also constraints. Many visitors feel that library staff are unfriendly and unwilling to help. The experience of Sekar, a local resident, reflects a common experience where simple requests such as finding a wifi password or a membership registration procedure are not responded to well. This results in a difficult experience and less motivation to return to the library. In addition, the lack of information about the operational schedule and library services is also a problem. Many libraries do not actively update their information on online platforms such as Google Maps, making it difficult for the public to know when the library is open or closed. This causes confusion and uncertainty, especially for those who do not live near libraries or have limited access to the internet. To address these problems, concrete steps need to be taken by governments and stakeholders. First, libraries need to expand their operating schedules, including opening on weekends and at night to reach more people. This will provide an opportunity for individuals with busy schedules to access library resources. In addition, training for library staff in customer service and effective communication is also important. Library staff should be equipped with the necessary skills to provide friendly and responsive assistance to visitors. This will help create a more welcoming environment and encourage people to use library facilities more comfortably. Equally important, libraries should increase their efforts in disseminating information about their services and operating schedules. This can be done through a variety of communication channels, including social media and library websites. By providing clear and easily accessible information, libraries can rebuild public trust and increase their participation. With these steps, the libraries in the City of Denpasar can play a more effective role in providing access to knowledge and supporting lifelong learning for its community. By improving their systems and services, libraries can become inclusive and inspiring centers of learning, helping to build a brighter future for future generations. a brighter future for future generations.)
    • Bandana Tewari  + (Lifestyle journalist and sustainability acLifestyle journalist and sustainability activist Bandana Tewari believes storytelling and personal responsibility have a huge part to play in the reformation of the fashion industry.</br></br>When you were starting out in fashion, what were the issues facing the industry, and at what point do you think attitudes to fashion and especially fast fashion started to change to incorporate ideas of sustainability?</br></br>I worked at Vogue India for thirteen years. It was a time when the Indian market opened up to a deluge of international luxury brands. There was much optimism and excitement about the massive aspirational population of India, the cynosure of multinational companies eager to conduct business in the Indian subcontinent. At this point, conspicuous consumerism was applauded and encouraged – signalling a modern India that was willing to spend money, display affluence, and be the sartorial arbiter of a young nation. There was no awareness of conscious consumption, of sustainability and environmental impact of the incredible waste and excess that plagues the fashion industry today.</br></br>In all honesty, the risks of over-consumption and the perils of fast fashion, as we now know of them, came into our collective consciousness only recently. The Rana Plaza disaster of 2013 in Bangladesh was the most brutal symbol of a global fashion industry gone wrong. It exposed a terrible truth: a multi-trillion-dollar industry was systemically plagued by unimaginable inequalities, both economic and social. This Rana Plaza disaster – when five garment factories collapsed killing more than 1,100 people, mostly women – created a global uproar. The world woke up to a fashion industry that pays some of the lowest wages, conducts business in such unsafe work environments, it creates untold disregard for human life. And then the environmental issues ensued which saw rivers and farms in developing nations being clogged and degraded with industry waste creating irreparable harm to people and the planet.</br></br>It is through the exposé of the extraordinary pains of ordinary people who make our clothes that led to a monumental change in the way we perceive the business of fashion.</br></br>How seriously do fast fashion brands like, let’s say H&M, really take the concept of waste within the industry? Are these efforts to improve sustainability just an exercise in greenwashing?</br></br>We are drowning in clothes – many of the approximately100 billion garments sold each year go into landfills or are incinerated – both harmful to the environment. According to Fast Company, H&M produces three billion garments a year and till 2019 was sitting on $4.1 billion worth of unsold clothes, some of which, we are told, became fuel for a power plant in Sweden. While many initiatives are underway to address the problems of production and consumption, it seems too little at a time when we have swiftly moved from climate change to climate crisis. The fashion industry generates 10 percent of global carbon emission, 20 percent of all waste water, and pollutes the oceans with half a million tons of microplastics. So, if big changes do not propel a big impact – it is, simply, greenwashing.</br></br>Given the magnitude of the problem, whatever solutions provided by fast fashion companies, thus far, seem perfunctory. The velocity with which garments are being manufactured, bought and tossed away is horrendous, to say the least. One garbage truck of clothes is either burnt or dumped in landfills every second! So whatever Zara, H&M or other fast fashion brands are doing to rectify the system is too little. Governments and policies need to intervene to limit the greed and speed of overproduction. More investments in R&D for solutions in recycling, alternative fabrics, etc, are crucial. Consumers need to play an important role in disarming the consumerist agenda of globalisation that fuels the ‘marketing need’ for more and more, bigger and bigger. Every human being should know how they choose to spend their hard-earned money really does matter!</br></br>To what extent do you think consumers really care about what happens in the rivers and seas thousands of miles away that are affected by the processes used to create our fashionable clothes?</br></br>Consumers do care about rivers, seas and every aspect of nature, provided they are shown the truth – truth about human beings’ role in the degradation of nature that comes from corporate greed, mindless consumption and governmental apathy. There is not a single human being who doesn’t want their children to grow up in an environment that is nurturing and nourished. Who amongst us wants to live in the filth of pollution?</br></br>The problem is that consumers have been ‘sold’ only one part of the story – the part that says when clothes glitter and automobiles shine and you own them then you have made it. When in fact, the process of making – what irreplaceable natural resources are harnessed to make things, the number of hands that go into making even a simple t-shirt – is excluded from the narrative, the inequalities in the system and the harm perpetrated on our environment will remain invisible. When you are never shown the problem, why would you seek a solution?</br></br>Tell us about your latest project…</br></br>I am a writer. Sadly, I don’t have any big projects to boast of. However, my personal commitment as a storyteller is to always follow the four fundamental principles of authentic storytelling: Product, People, Process, Purpose. If any one of these ‘Ps’ are unfulfilled or unaddressed by a company or brand, I will not write about it. Every media person should pay heed to the power of the pen.</br></br>What advice would you give to young designers starting out now?</br></br>I would request every designer starting out today to read Small is Beautiful, a book written by the hallowed global economist E.F. Shumacher. In this book there is a chapter called ‘Buddhist Economy’ which throws light on the need for mindfulness in business. It is a guide to making one’s daily work – a noble act of humanity. It points to our present-day crisis in the way leaders are raised or made to pillage the earth, as if humans are the only sentient beings in this world. It points to correcting an era that seems so disconnected with our inner and outer divinity – that we have made human-force into labour-force.</br></br>What is the future of fashion?</br></br>The future of fashion is compassionate; how else will we survive? There is no business to be done on a dead planet. So, I feel confident that we will rise to address the challenges of waste, greed and environmental degradation. With a generation of young people born in this era of climate crisis, they will, without any doubt, only choose industry leaders who lead with a ‘monk mentality’, leaders who reinforce the crucible of compassion and conscious consumption. I believe that the future of fashion will have storytellers, producers and creators who will show the interconnectedness of everything around us – the magic of coexistence and biodiversity. They will tell us the story of our t-shirts – made from a seed of life that blossomed into cotton; the same cotton that clothes us also thrives when it grows alongside other diverse plants, on a land rich in soil nutrients. The future of fashion will have great teachers who will tell us that what we ingest into our bodies and what we put on our bodies must both honour the sacredness of nature.</br></br>IG & Twitter: @behavebandanaur the sacredness of nature.

Paradoxically it may well be true that it is due to Ngendon's influence and artistic leadership that the Batuan painters as a group preserved their own identity and did not become epigenists of any western artist (unlike some painters from the Ubud region). Illustrative is the example told by I Ketut Tombelos (Margaret Mead's field notes), where it is said that Ngendon had a violent disagreement with Bonnet regarding the paternalistic interventions of the latter towards the style and choice subject of Ngendon. Professor Hildred Geertz perceives a strong taboo against any sign of modernisation evident in the work of Batuan painters (op. cit. p. 17). Still she rightly suggests that it was Western modernity and Western forms of power that fascinated and inspired Ngendon (op. cit. p. 19).
