Bali will welcome the New Year by organizing various cultural and community events, adding to the joyous atmosphere of year-end festivities.

The Denpasar administration will celebrate the end of the year by holding an event titled “Bid Farewell to 2011’s Sun”, which will also mark the closing of the annual Denpasar Festival, a four-day event involving thousands of local artists, handicraft makers, cloth designers and culinary masters.

The last day of the festival will feature various competitions, art and culture parades and performances from 10 a.m. Saturday until the turn of the year from 2011 to 2012.

All the activities will be held at Puputan Badung Field, said the head of the city’s Cultural Agency, Made Mudra.

In the afternoon, religious leaders will hold mass prayers at the Catur Muka statue during the “Bid Farewell to 2011’s Sun” procession.

Following the procession, there will be a cultural parade themed “Baris — The Reflection of Denpasar’s Heroic Spirit”, during which nine kinds of Baris traditional warrior dances will be performed by students and art groups from traditional villages.

The nine dances are Baris Tombak Ringan, Baris Kupu-kupu, Baris Sikep, Baris Panah, Baris Wayang, Baris Tamiang, Baris Cina, Baris Pendet and Baris Tongklang Penambangan.

“This is a part of our efforts to revitalize dances that are nearly extinct,” Mudra said, adding that the nine dances have been updated from their initial versions, but still retain their original characteristics.

The city will also host a parade featuring ogoh-ogoh (giant papier-mâché effigies) and a Balinese marching band, as well as other traditional art performances.

Bali’s most famous beach, Kuta, will be closed to traffic to accommodate thousands of people expected to celebrate the last night of 2011 there.

The closure of access to Jl. Legian and Jl. Pantai Kuta will start at 4 p.m. Saturday and will continue until Sunday morning, said Denpasar Police chief Sr. Comr. Suryanbodo.

“People who want to go to Legian and Kuta should park their vehicles at Kuta Central Park. Tourists can use vehicles provided by their respective hotels.”

He said the road would be closed to vehicles in order to avoid traffic jams and prevent security disturbances during year-end celebrations.

“We will turn Kuta and Legian into pedestrian areas to make the area more convenient for people.”

To prevent security disturbances, the police will deploy a large number of officers, including from the Mobile Brigade. Personnel from community guards and pecalang (traditional security officers) will help the police to safeguard crucial locations.

To attract more guests, major hotels in Bali are competing to organize the most interesting and festive year-end celebration.

The InterContinental Bali Resort will hold a countdown party welcoming the dawn of 2012 at the Sunset Bar in front of Jimbaran Bay.

“Starting at 11 p.m. and continuing until early morning, there will be a display of fireworks to light up the sky over the waters of the bay as we welcome the New Year with dynamic bursts of color,” said the resort’s public relations director Dewi Anggraini.

On the first day of 2012, the resort will hold more unique events. The highlight event on “recovery day” is “Release a Turtle and Make a Wish”.

Guests will be invited to adopt a baby turtle and release it into the waters of the bay before sunset.

“Make a special wish for the coming year ahead and hope that your little turtle has a long life in the sea,” Dewi said.

The Discovery Kartika Plaza Hotel in Kuta will hold a spectacular year-end celebration, the “Masquerade Eve Party”, starting 8 p.m. Saturday at the Kharisma Ballroom.

Designer Adesagi Kierana, who died in an apparent accident in Bandung on Sunday, was remembered with affection by fellow designers and celebrities, many of whom were regular clients of his colorful designs.

Singer Titi DJ was a loyal patron of the 34-year-old designer, renowned for his dynamic and innovative use of color.

“Adesagi has been my favorite designer since he began his career,” she told The Jakarta Post on Monday. “He was bold enough to use primary colors in his designs, and I love color. And he provided daring designs in the Indonesian fashion world, so he was a perfect match with me. His creations also helped make me look slimmer without wearing a corset.”

She said she also lost a dear friend.

“He had such a gentle personality, he was a sweetheart to me. He was such a good, good person. The Indonesian fashion world has lost one of its best designers.”

Titi was among several celebrities who participated in Adesagi’s first solo show, “Almost Famous”, during the Indonesian Fashion Designers Association [IPMI] annual event in October 2011. Others included singers Ruth Sahanaya and Dewi Sandra, as well as Manohara, who was a close friend of Randy Yan, who died with the designer due to apparent carbon monoxide poisoning from a water heater. Adesagi and Randy were spending the New Year’s weekend in the designer’s hometown, friends and colleagues said.

“I’m still in shock,” Dewi tweeted.

Fellow designers expressed sadness that he died just as his career was taking off. Born Ade Candra Kirana Sagi, the graduate of Bunka School of Fashion worked as a fashion stylist for Ramli, and later as a designer for Martha Beauty Gallery and creative designer for Susi Hedijanto, according to Kamus Mode Indonesia (Indonesian Fashion Encyclopedia). He became an independent designer in 2002, with a vow to become the “creator of colorful dreams”, as he described himself in his Twitter biography.

“The IPMI show was his first and last show, and his determination was just paying off,” said designer Sapto Djojokartiko, who knew Adesagi for 14 years. “He told me a lot about his life. The deepest impression he has left on me is from the struggles of his career, but also how he remained humble regardless of his achievements.”

Ninuk Mardiana Pambudy, a journalist and co-author of Kamus Mode Indonesia, said Adesagi was starting to make his mark, especially in bringing ready to wear to a wider market.

“He wasn’t the type of designer to produce a ‘fantastic’ creation to attract attention. But he had distinctive, edgy and fluid designs that were high quality. In doing ready to wear, Adesagi helped Indonesian fashion to be enjoyed and appreciated by many people. It’s not easy for a young designer to set up their own ready-to-wear business but he had the courage to do it.”

Up and coming designer Didiet Maulana said vibrant designs and color were Adesagi’s design trademarks. “He wanted to make women of all ages beautiful.”

Didiet counted Adesagi and Randy, a boutique owner and commercial model, as friends. “Randy was a loveable person, he always brought good vibes and was positive. He was a very hard worker.”

Didiet said he would remember the colors of Adesagi’s personality.

“He was always smiling and caring for people,” he said of Adesagi, whose mother had died in December 2011. “The color of his life was always spring and summer, even if there was a storm happening. He always gave people a summer breeze.”

If the stock market was “Kid-Zania”, then President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s speech at the first day of trading on Monday was like a father laying out his financial plans so that the kids could continue playing grown-ups.

In so many words, Yudhoyono said the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) owed much of its positive performance in 2011 to prudent fiscal and monetary policies formed under his stewardship.

The stock market ended a bumpy year on Dec. 30, 2011, with the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) at 3,821.99, growing by a modest 3.2 percent compared to the previous year, making it nonetheless the third best performer globally in an era of great economic uncertainty.

In his keynote speech, Yudho-yono told stock traders that the country had to be prepared for another round of uncertainty as decision makers in the US and Europe were still struggling to avoid another recession.

A government-appointed think tank, the National Economic Committee (KEN), warned recently that crises in the developed world would weaken Indonesian exports, create foreign liquidity problems and hurt investment growth. The committee said Indonesia’s financial markets were poised to bear the brunt of high volatility.

Gloomy outlook aside, there was room for hope, Yudhoyono said, especially after Fitch Ratings had reinstated the status of Indonesian sovereign debt to investment-grade level. Yudhoyono said he would maximize efforts to cash in on the positive momentum.

Yudhoyono’s strategy for weathering the external turbulence is to maintain his style of economic leadership, which has been characterized by a conservative fiscal policy — meaning a low state budget deficit, high domestic consumption and double-digit export growth.

In the finalized 2012 state budget, the government predicted revenue of Rp 1,292.9 trillion with expected state spending of Rp 1,418.5 trillion; and a budget deficit of 1.5 percent of GDP. Yudhoyono said the 2011 budget deficit stood at 1.3 percent, well below the 2 percent target.

The Finance Ministry said that it hoped to maintain inflation at a maximum of 5.3 percent this year. The inflation rate stood at 3.79 percent in 2011.

“We have to maintain the fiscal policy, the debt to GDP ratio, inflation rate and the interest rate. When the government achieves such conditions, it is the economic actors’ time to step up,” the President said.

Yudhoyono may argue that the performance of the stock market should reflect the country’s economic fundamentals, which he has vowed to maintain.

However, analysts have long argued that the IDX suffers from a structural problem of having too much foreign funds in its investment pool, which makes it extremely vulnerable to external shocks.

Foreign funds traditionally control more than 60 percent of daily transactions in the stock market, which reached Rp 24.2 trillion by the end of last year.

Considering the large amount of so-called “hot” money, volatility in the Indonesian financial market directly translates into more pressure on the rupiah.

IDX president director Ito Warsito brushed off fears over the inability to increase the proportion of Indonesian investors, saying that it was an accepted characteristic of the Indonesian stock market.

He denied that more foreign investors would cause instability in the secondary market.

“An increase in the number of foreign investors is a logical consequence of Indonesia being of interest to global investors,” he said.

In his speech, Yudhoyono failed to address these concerns, which have the potential to destabilize the economy. KEN, the economic think tank that the President personally appointed, warned that Indonesia should reactivate the currency-swap agreement with China and Japan under the Chiang Mai Initiative in order quell this single-most detrimental force in the economy.

Selayar Islands regency in South Sulawesi has every reason to make its island group a marine tourist destination.

Located between the Flores Sea and the Makassar Strait, the regency has diverse and beautiful tourist attractions on offer.

Apart from Taka Bonerate National Park, Selayar has a number of gorgeous sites and diving areas. Several islands in the regency also possess captivating natural scenery.

Selayar covers an area of 1,357 square kilometers and comprises 132 islands, of which only 29 are inhabited. Belang-belang is one of those islands, where during the full moon various species of turtle come ashore to lay their eggs.

“Many people go to the island to catch turtle eggs during the full moon to sell in Bali. We fear the turtles in the area may become extinct because of illegal hunting so we’ve assigned security guards there,” said Selayar Islands Regent Syahrir Wahab.

There is also Batu Island, with its unique landscape comprised entirely of stones. The island is home to numerous swallows, and locals have made this zone of birds their source of living.

Tourists and nature lovers who aren’t inclined to go to Taka Bonerate have several alternatives not far from the city of Benteng – the capital of Selayar Islands regency.

The eastern coast is a sport diving area with scenic underwater panoramas featuring diverse coral and marine biota similar to that of Taka Bonerate. With a similar topography, the area is a favorite.

Baloyya Beach is known for its sloping white sand and clear blue water, adorned with varied coral reef underneath. Near the beach are two natural caves and several islets. Situated south of the western coast of Selayar, Baloyya is only about 9 kilometers from Benteng. Jammeng, a tourist village not far from Benteng, is also a convenient place for relaxing. Aside from the undersea beauty, the area boasts a cascading waterfall.

Selayar also offers historical sites and relics to visit. In Benteng, a large bronze gong created around 1686 is preserved as an heirloom. It is said there are only two such gongs in the world, the other found in Vietnam.

At the Padang Village Museum in Benteng there are heirlooms such as a large anchor and cannon as well as relics indicating traces of shipping and trade relations in the 17th and 18th centuries between China and the islands.

A sightseeing tour of Benteng, with coconut trees lining its coastal fringe, is particularly enjoyable. The city is a producer of snacks made of melinjo and kenari nuts and also grows citrus fruits. The process of making the snacks by hand is fascinating to observe.

At the sea terminal of Pamatata in Selayar, visitors can feast their eyes on a landscape of tree-shaded rocky promontories along the shoreline. On the way to Benteng, about 50 kilometers away, travelers are pampered with expanses of white sand and rows of coconut trees.

Before visiting Benteng from South Sulawesi’s mainland, visitors can stop and rest in Bulukumba regency. In the regency dubbed “Butta Panrita Lopi” or boat craftsmen’s settlement, tourists can observe the process of phinisi or traditional wooden boat building that is unique to South Sulawesi.

Near the terminal of Bira in Bulukumba, from which visitors cross the strait to Selayar, they can go to the Cape of Bira, an area with very fine white sand and clear water that offers good swimming and diving.

Touring the Selayar Islands does take time and consume energy. But as soon as one arrives at Pamatata and reaches Benteng it is well worth the effort, as these sites — let alone the national park of Taka Bonerate — enchant and offer magnificent journeying well worth exploring.

The government says it will end the sale of subsidized fuel to private cars in Greater Jakarta in April, pending approval from the House of Representatives.

“In these [next] three months, we’re first going to test the mechanism. Only public transportation vehicles, motorcycles and fishermen would be able to buy subsidized fuels,” downstream oil and gas regulator BPH Migas Agus Budihartono committee member said at the Office of the Coordinating Economic Minister in Jakarta on Monday.

The government would also install radio frequency identification devices (RFID) on public transportation vehicles to monitor fuel consumption, Agus added.

Subsidized fuel limits would eventually be expanded to other provinces, although the government has offered no clear time table.

Agus said the government was waiting for the revision of a 2006 presidential regulation on fuel prices to give it a legal basis to regulate subsidized fuel users.

After the revision is completed, the government will officially propose its plan to the House, which rejected a similar proposal last year for what it said was inadequate analysis of the effects of the fuel subsidy restrictions.

Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Jero Wacik said he was confident that the House would pass the proposal this year since the 2012 State Budget mandated that fuel limits be implemented in April.

“We’ll discuss with the House. Now we’re arranging the fixed proposal. We will announce the details next week,” Jero said.

The government has long been criticized for “poorly targeted” subsidies, as hundreds of trillions of rupiah in fuel subsidies have gone to the relatively well off, reducing resources for infrastructure development and social spending.

President Susilo Bambang Yu-dhoyono has conceded the point to critics, agreeing to reduce spending on subsidies, although maintaining that raising subsidized fuel prices was not the only way to do so.

Observers said fuel prices hike would be an immensely unpopular policy that might trigger price hikes across the board, which might in turn trigger grassroots protests.

Bank Indonesia (BI) Governor Darmin Nasution told The Jakarta Post that limiting fuel subsidies might lead to a 0.6 to 0.9 percent increase over the 4.5 percent headline inflation rate predicted for 2012, while raising fuel subsidies might boost
inflation estimates by one percent.

The quota for subsidized fuels has been set at 40 million kiloliters (kl) for 2102 — slightly lower than 40.49 kl last year — which includes a 2.5 million kl fiscal reserve to allow the government to use funds allocated for fuels for development if the quota is unmet.

Coordinating Economic Minister Hatta Rajasa said the government would create a team to help BPH Migas supervise subsidized fuel distribution to prevent “excessive distortions” in the field.

A lawmaker from House Commission VII overseeing energy, Satya W. Yudha from the Golkar Party, said the Commission was waiting for the government’s official proposal.

If the proposed scheme was the same as last year’s, Satya said the Commission would verify if gas stations could provide more non-subsidized fuels in April.

“If the infrastructure is not ready, it doesn’t matter. I suggest that we provide non-subsidized Premium [one of most-used subsidized fuels] for private cars so that they will have choices,” he said over the telephone.

Pri Agung Rakhmanto, an energy expert from the ReforMiner Institute, urged the government to develop a definitive mechanism as soon as possible to implement its policy.

Rakhmanto attributed government failure to convince the House last year to a lack of clarity in implementing the restrictions.

Check Trade Show management Rules and Guidelines

Practically every event has its own rules and regulations, so make sure you are familiar with them and avoid any last minute hiccups. This applies especially if you are coming up with non-standard or innovative promotional effects or strategies. For instance, if you are seeking to have entertainers or booth people canvassing attendees at the exit/entrance areas or other traffic choke points, then clear this with event management beforehand. Getting the clearance is a good idea because you can easily run afoul of event security, but even better, if you have a great idea you are likely to find event management will help you implement it.

Go Equipped: Have Back-Up Tools

Many modern booths are capable of being fitted with only the most basic of tools and equipment but, always ensure that you have a basic toolkit plus spares. Sure you can always borrow or plead poverty with neighboring exhibitors, however you should be setting your physical booth up and using this process to set yourself and booth staff up for success from a mental perspective too.

You never know when you need a screwdriver, a pair of snips to deal with an intransigent piece of panel wire or a wrench to tighten a bolt. Don’t waste time and effort – just be prepared.

Ensure You Have Power & Extension Cables

The first time you see the event space allocation may be on the day of the trade show event, but your map allocating the space may not show the power outlets you can rely on, or how far your extension cables need to run to fetch power, nor how many sockets you’ll have available. Make sure you have more than sufficient electrical extension cables and multiplier sockets to light the booth and run your appliances.

Backup the Booth

Booth display cases can be bulky and easily damaged, and while FedEx, UPS and friends tend to be pretty good at getting your kit from A-to-B, you cannot always rely on them to get it to you in one piece or on time. When that happens, you need a back-up plan or the whole event is for nothing. You can minimize the risk by carrying replacement parts and marketing collateral separately, and any constituent parts which don’t arrive on time or in good shape can be replaced or an alternative arrangement can be effected.

Just remember to think of the worst that can happen and to plan accordingly – it is a rare trade show event which is carried off without any glitches and the affair should be considered to be a practical exercise in flexible, contingency planning. One gold rule to follow is that if you have a question about the event, do not be afraid to ask – there are no stupid questions except for those which you didn’t bother to ask because you took things for granted.

There is no doubt that Google affiliates rank as some of the most successful affiliates anywhere on the web.

Yet few understand the reason behind this success. Even the majority of Google affiliates who are yet to start making huge five figure checks do not quite understand why the Google Adsense program has flourished so much within such a short time.

Anybody who understands the real secrets behind the phenomenal rise of Google affiliates will be in a much better position to benefit and profit from it, whether or not they are current Adsense affiliates.

1. Google Affiliates Are Riding On The Most Dramatic Shift In The Advertising Industry In History

A few webmasters think that this Adsense and pay per click affiliate mania is a passing fad. All indications are that this is not the case. If anything mounting evidence points to one of the most dramatic and rapid shifts in advertising industry history. You can't beat the deal to advertisers where they pay only for actual traffic to their website and more so when they can easily calculate their conversion rate on that traffic and predict their profit margin on the deal. This arrangement cannot be duplicated on TV or in any other offline media with so much precision and accuracy.

This means that advertising revenue will continue to shift away from other media and will move online at an even more rapid rate than is the case currently. And not just any online mediums like banner ads for example. The revenue will specifically shift to pay per click text ads. If you need some proof just look at the Google numbers in recent months, and most of it is being generated by PPC ad revenue.

What does that mean to a blogger or webmaster? It means huge and increasing profits as the number of advertisers grows and the competition between them for clicks grows fiercer.

It means that any expert in any tiny little niche will find it increasingly easier to make a good regular income from a low traffic targeted site with higher paying, more valuable Adsense keywords.

2. Google Affiliates Recognize That Content Is Not King, It's Everything

Writers, or rather good writers are already enjoying a huge advantage as Google affiliates. Only well written content will attract quality traffic and only interesting engrossing content will keep that traffic coming back again and again. Only high-quality keyword rich content will keep a site high in search engine rankings and thus guarantee enough traffic to keep Google affiliate adsense earnings high.

3. Top Google Affiliates Are All Using The Blog Secret

Blogs were created for linking and everybody knows that links are closely related to traffic in two ways, firstly they generate traffic but more importantly, they help a site achieve high search engine rankings with usually opens the floodgates of traffic. Top Google affiliates are using this secret to keep those big fat Google affiliate Adsense checks arriving by special courier every month.

Most top Google affiliates have dozens of blogs loaded with the right keywords and engaging content. With just a little SEO (search engine optimization) skills, these new breed of high flying online professionals are able to get their sites to the top of search engine rankings. It is then minimal maintenance as they sit back and watch the traffic volumes flow to their blogs already loaded with Adsense ads. The result of all this is that the clicks happening at their sites shoots up and with it their Google affiliate Adsense earnings.

4. Google Affiliates Are Using The Secret of The Hook

In advertising it is called the hook. Journalists call it the angle or slant of the story. Both mean the same thing. It is all about picking up a subject and asking yourself, what aspect of it most interests your audience? If you answer that question accurately then your ad or your article will attract maximum interest.

Online this is becoming more critical by the day. Content that is not slanted to fit the interests and needs of you audience will not attract enough interest and this impacts on the traffic of your blog or site and ultimately on your Google affiliate adsense earnings.
