Determined to Fly High
Hong Kong Airlines
Rejects Rumors,
Insisting They're
'Here to Stay'
Reports in the South
China Morning Post
(SCMP) alleging that
Hong Kong Airlines is in

challenged and refuted by the third
largest airline headquartered in
Hong Kong.
SCMP reported that The Hong

The Transport and Housing

Airline has issued a statement
rebutting the rumors of financial
collapse and had “nothing to

comments.
Amid an atmosphere of rumors of
financial difficulties, the Airline has
secured financial backing to meet
its short term obligation while
vowing Hong Kong Airlines was
“here to stay.”
Airline spokespersons labeled as
“untrue and groundless”
speculation about a possible

commented: “Hong Kong Airlines

Price Hike: It's in the Bags
Indonesia Consumer
Protection Agency Derides
Abolition of Luggage
Allowance on Domestic
Flights as Camouflaged
Price Hike
The Indonesian Consumers
Protection Foundation (YLKI) is
condemning changes in baggage
policies by Indonesian Airlines as an
underhanded means of increasing
domestic air fares.
As reported by Kompas.com YLKI
views the recent elimination any
checked baggage allowance on Lion
and Wings Airlines as a violation of
consumer rights and a badly
camouflaged increase in the cost of
air travel.
The executive in charge of day-to-day
operations at YLKI, Tulus Abadi, in a
press announcement dated Friday,
January 11, 2019, said: “By using paid
baggage requirements the airlines
are using subterfuge to increase their
air fares. Charging all passengers for
their checked luggage may potentially
violate regulations on maximum
18 jan. - 24 jan. 2019
fares.”
Tulus warned that if the new measures
of charging extra for all checked
luggage if not carefully monitored and
regulated, then low-cost airlines will
be able to arbitrarily impose a fee for
charging luggage to passengers and,
in the end, able to charge more for
their flights than full-fare-full-service
carriers.

levels for air travel?” asked Tulus.
Lion Air and Wings Air no longer
include any checked baggage in
their ticket price, charging for any
accompanying luggage. Citilink,
the low cost subsidiary of Garuda,
is in the process of introducing a
similar policy.
Kompas.com reports that Citilink
will follow the lead of Lion Air and
Wings Air by eliminating any
checked luggage allowance in
their base ticket prices on
domestic routes.
A circular memo issued by Citilink
on January 4, 2019 confirmed that
effective January 12, 2019, no amount
of “free checked luggage” is included
in the base ticket price. In the past,
passengers were given an allowance
of 20 Kg included in the ticket price
when flying Citilink domestically.
Air passengers flying on Citilink can
purchase baggage allowances online
up to 12 hours before departure.

When you quit smoking, this is what happens to your body
It's a difficult thing to quit
smoking - but, if you can see
it though, it's amazing to
consider what a difference it
can make to your body.
That because any amount of time
smoke-free gives the body especially
the lungs and bloodstream time to
"breathe" again and take in the clean
air needed to recuperate.
So, in theory, the sooner people can
give up smoking, the more time they
give their bodies to repair. Otherwise,
the sad fact is that around half of long-
term smokers will die from this deadly
addiction.
Of course, one of the scariest aspects
of quitting smoking can be the
unknown of what will happen and,
according to Wales Online, this often
puts people off trying to be smoke-free
in the first place.
It's hard to believe that the smoking
ban came into force more than 10
years ago, in July 2007, meaning you
could no longer light up in enclosed
public places like pubs, restaurants or
on public transport.
There were many expectations and
promises when the legislation was
introduced, including a dramatic drop
in the number of smokers, a decline in
lung cancer and other smoking-
related deaths, and overall a healthier,
cleaner, and better quality of life.
Sadly, Merseyside was named as the
region's lung cancer capital just five
years ago, with damning statistics
showing Knowsley was top for deaths
from the disease. The borough's 54
deaths per 100,000 of population put it
93% above the national average.
And Liverpool was second out of the
43 local authorities in the north west,
with Halton in fifth place - both well
above average figures for the rest of
the country.
On the other hand, heart disease and
strokes also smoking-related have
dropped considerably in the North
West and the UK now has one of the
lowest smoking rates in Europe. But
while the number of smokers in
Liverpool has fallen, it's still high and
last year the city had the second
highest number of smokers in the
North West.
Our colleagues at Wales Online once
took a look at what happened to the
body as you start to give up smoking.
This is well worth a read if you're
18 jan. - 24 jan. 2019
thinking about quitting any time
soon:
20 minutes
There's a change in your body within
20 minutes of stubbing out that
cigarette
The human body is an amazing thing.
Just 20 minutes after that last
cigarette, it begins to recover.
Nicotine, the addictive chemical in
smoking, acts as a stimulant and
gives that all-important "kick".
Not long after the last puff of smoke,
heart rate and blood pressure return
to normal following this high.
Eight hours
This is the testing time when most
smokers reach for another cigarette.
The effects of withdrawal are strong,
as nicotine leaves the bloodstream
and cravings start to happen.
One day
Anxiety and stress levels peak. The
feeling of stress associated with
quitting smoking isn't usually stress
it's a sign of withdrawal.
That's why it's untrue that smoking de-
stresses, it's just feeding a craving.
In fact, research shows non and ex-
smokers feel less stressed than
smokers.
Two to three days
If you decide to go "cold turkey",
there's no nicotine left in the body but
it'll take a while to adjust to this new
feeling. Using nicotine replacement
therapy (NRT) such as gum, patches
or e-cigarettes supplies the body with
nicotine and allows smokers to wean
themselves off smoking gently,
making it easier to quit cigarettes.
Taste and smell receptors are given
the chance to heal, meaning food will
never have tasted so good!
One week
Making it one week smoke-free
means quitters are over the worst of it.
It's perfectly normal to think about
smoking regularly it's now a case of
mind over matter as the body no
longer physically craves tobacco.
Many quitters experience a nasty
cough but this is perfectly normal it's
the lungs' way of clearing themselves
as much as they can.
Two weeks
Blood circulation, especially to the
gums and teeth, returns to normal
levels - the same as a non-smoker.
Now that the mouth isn't being
bombarded with smoke, tissue
damaged by gum disease can

recover.
One month
Withdrawals can range from anger,
anxiety, insomnia and mild depression
but, by month one, these feelings
should have subsided. If not, a trip to
the GP is recommended. Quitters who
make it to four weeks smoke-free are
five times more likely to stay smoke-
free for good.
Two months
The risk of heart attack risk has
started to drop. With lung function
improving too, climbing the stairs gets
that little bit easier each day.
Three months
Walking long distances is a lot easier
now. Any bad coughs should have
disappeared but, if not, being seen by
a doctor is imperative as it can be a
sign of something more sinister.
Six months
Any tiredness and shortness of breath
will be a thing of the past.
Cilia, air sacs in the lungs, have re-
grown and healed some of the
damage caused by smoking- but the
lungs will never be 100% healthy.
One year
Ex-smokers are 50% less likely to
have a heart attack, heart disease or a
stroke within just one year of quitting.
Five years
Diabetes is an illness long-term
smokers can develop. Make it five
years smoke-free and the risks of it
occurring are the same a non-smoker.
Five to 10 years
Amazing! The risk of having a stroke is
now the same as that of a non-
smoker. Smoke makes blood sticky
and hard to move around the body
and that's why smokers are much
more likely to have a stroke.
10 years
Lung cancer is the biggest risk to a
smoker's life. Within 10 years of
quitting, the chance of death from lung
cancer is half that of a smoker. The
risk from other cancers such as mouth
and pancreatic have reduced
significantly.
Post 10 years
When smoking, the heart works
harder to pump smoke-ridden blood

Wang reportedly came from a poor

him to sacrifice a healthy organ to

Australia's 'best since Ponting' admits he got caught
in the hype
Having been compared
to Sachin Tendulkar

hype got to his head.
Sangha has a golden
opportunity to show the
cricketing world what he's

Sangha has been selected alongside
the likes of Will Pucovski, Matt

Boland in a squad that is clearly
geared towards the future in what
shapes as an audition for future Test

The former Australian under-19s
captain has been touted as a future

burst onto the scenes two years ago.
He earned his first professional
contract with NSW when he was still
completing his HSC and in just his

Outrage over water bottles at Aus Open
Why is the Australian
Open's 'official water'
imported from China?
For the second year running,
the Australian Open's choice of
bottled water has left Aussies
scratching their heads.
Fans turned out in droves to be
a part of day one of the
Melbourne-based grand slam
yesterday. But not everybody
was satisfied.
In the stands, fans were
questioning why Open
organisers chose to import
bottled water from China.
“In what universe do we need to
import bottled water?” journalist
and tennis fan Rachel
Baxendale wrote on Twitter.
Her comment, which featured
pictures of the water labelled
“Australian Open official water”,
was retweeted more than 500
18 jan. - 24 jan. 2019
times and received more
than 250 comments.
Among those chiming in
was Senator Derryn
Hinch, who suggested
the money was too good
for organisers to refuse.
“In a universe where the
deal was worth millions
of dollars a year to
Tennis Australia,” he
wrote.
The move to Ganten, a
company based in Shenzhen
since 1992, was downplayed by
organisers last year.
In a statement, Tennis Australia
said the Australian Open was a
global event with “a long history
of partnering with international
brands”.
“Ganten water is a premium
brand that is associated with
other major tennis and sporting
events.
“The Australian Open
continues to expand its global
reach and partnerships, which
helps to grow the sport at all
levels in Australia.”

respond to a request for
comment this year.
Some commenters on social

media were quick to point out
that Aussies appeared to have
no problem when French-
based water company Evian
sponsored the Open.
“The current outrage about
Chinese bottled water being
sold at the Australian Open is
quite an amount larger than the
days when Evian was the
'official water',” Preston Towers
wrote on Twitter. “No prize for
guessing as to why that would
be.”
Others suggested the Open
should ditch single-use plastic
bottles altogether.
“Idea for next year: Ditch the
one-use plastic, provide water
fountains and if people don't
bring their own drink bottle
make them buy one,” Alexandra
McKiernan wrote.
“No need to buy bottled water.

The low profile Aussie plotting Nadal's Open downfall
Everyone at Melbourne
Park is talking about
Alex de Minaur's
potentially mouth-
watering third-round
Australian Open
showdown with Rafael
Nadal.
Everyone except Matt Ebden,
that is.
The West Australian stands in
the way between the possible
Friday night blockbuster and
bristled when asked if he hoped
to prove a second-round
roadblock for Nadal on
Wednesday.
In career-best touch and with a
top-50 ranking for the first time,
Ebden said he'd be silly not to
give himself a genuine shot at
knocking over Nadal in what will
be only the Spaniard's second
tour match since last
September. “My career will
show I have the ability to beat
the very best guys,” Ebden said.
“I beat quite a few of the top

guys last year and other
years, but I've also lost to
them at times too.
“It will depend on both of us
guys, really how we go out
there, how we compete.”
Despite his confidence, the
world No. 48 acknowledged
the enormity of the challenge
of trying to conquer the 17-
times grand slam champion.
“There's obviously seedings for
a reason and Rafa's earnt that.
He's a beast, he's a warrior, he's
a great champion,” Ebden said.
“He obviously hasn't played
that much the last few months
but he's still obviously one of the
best guys in the draw.
“I'm going to have to execute
my game a bit better, be a bit
mentally tougher and do some
things to give myself the best
chance.
“I know what to expect when I'm
playing Rafa. I've played him.”
Underrated and without the
profile of fellow-countrymen
such as de Minaur, Nick Kyrgios
and Bernard Tomic, Ebden

Sports Corner
deliberately took a longer off-
season in a bid to peak for the
Open.
“To play on Rod Laver or
Margaret, it will be amazing,” he
said.
“It's why I'm here. Why I play
this game. It's why we have
these tournaments; for match-
ups like these — Aussies at
home (against) grand slam
champions.
“It's what it's all about, so I can't
wait.”

Despite the exuberant prices for
even the most basic needs, like

abandoning the San Francisco-

Why? Because that's where the

Bullfrog
A man walks into a bar and asks the bartender,
"If I show you a really good trick, will you give me
a free drink?" The bartender considers it, and
then agrees. The man reaches into his pocket
and pulls out a tiny rat. He reaches into his other
pocket and pulls out a tiny piano. The rat
stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to
play the blues. After the man finished his drink,
he asked the bartender, "If I show you an even
better trick, will you give me free drinks for the
rest of the evening?" The bartender agrees,
thinking that no trick could possibly be better
than the first. The man reaches into his pocket
and pulls out a tiny rat. He reaches into his other
pocket and pulls out a tiny piano. The rat
stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to
play the blues. The man reaches into another
pocket and pulls out a small bullfrog, which
begins to sing along with the rat's music. While
the man is enjoying his free drinks, a stranger
confronts him and offers him $400 for the
bullfrog. "Sorry," the man replies, "he's not for
sale." The stranger increases the offer to $500
cash up front. "No," he insists, "he's not for sale."
The stranger again increases the offer, this time
to $700 cash. The man finally agrees, and turns
the frog over to the stranger in exchange for the
money. "Are you insane?" the bartender
demanded. "That frog could have been worth
millions to you, and you let him go for a mere
$700" "Don't worry about it." the man answered.
"The frog was really nothing special. You see, the
rat's a ventriloquist."

Rich Millionaire
A rich millionaire decides to throw a massive
party for his 50th birthday, so during this
party he grabs the microphone and he
announces to his guests that down in the
garden of his mansion he has a swimming
pool with two crocodiles in it. 'I will give
anything they desire of mine, to the man who
swims across that pool.' So the party
continues with no events in the pool, until
suddenly, there is a great splash and all the
guests of the party run to the pool to see
what has happened. In the pool is a man and
he is swimming as hard as he can, and the
tails come out of the water and the jaws are
snapping and this guy just keeps on going
and the crocodiles are gaining on him and
this guy reaches the end and he gets out of
the pool, tired and soaked. The millionaire
grabs the microphone and says, 'I am a man
of my word, anything of mine I will give, my
Ferraris, my house, absolutely anything, for
you are the bravest man I have ever seen.
So sir what will it be?' the millionaire asks.
The guy grabs the microphone and says,
'Why don't we start with the name of the

There's Never a Reason

Almost certain to draw fire
from segments of the Hindu
hideaway residence | ungasan, bali community in Bali, the head
of the traffic police in the
Balinese Regency of
Karangasem, Ni Luh Putu
Anne Parwisti, has said there is no
reason that everyone, including
people traveling on motorcycle to
“Kuta Weekly’s Property of The Month”
and from religious ceremonies in
traditional dress, should not be
compelled to follow the law and
wear helmets.
In the past, many Balinese Hindu

out of business
FloWater, an eight-year-old,
Burlingame, Ca.-based
company that sells reusable
water bottle refilling stations
that produce purified water,
has raised $15 million in its
first major round of funding,
it quietly announced last
month.
Bluewater, a Swedish company
that sells water purifiers, among
other things, led the round.
FloWater caters to schools,
colleges, fitness centres, hotels,
and offices, and, in the words of
CEO Rich Razgaitis, set out to
address four environmental
concerns from the outset: obesity
in the U.S. which has been tied in
p a r t t o t h e r i s e o f s u g a r y,
carbonated beverages; the nearly
40 billion single-use plastic water
bottles that are used up and
tossed aside every year; the
millions of barrels of oil and
hundreds of millions of pounds of
CO2 byproduct waste used to
create and transport bottled water;

therefore, Balinese should simply
be exempted from traffic rules on
protective head gear.
Beritabali.com reports that the
policewoman in charge of traffic
enforcement and safety said the
use of a crash helmet is very
important to protect lives in the
event of a road accident.
Continuing, Parwisti said that
whoever is on a motorcycle and no
matter what their destination, be it
near or far, is required to wear a
and the toxins in single-use plastic
bottles, including endocrine-
disrupting chemicals.
It has in short, a pretty compelling
case to make, as other purveyors
of refilling stations would surely
argue, and which clearly
persuaded 13 investors altogether
(according to a new SEC filing) to
write checks to the company.
And it all started with an $18,600
bank loan, according to the
c o m p a n y ' s f o u n d e r, W y a t t
Taubman, who remains on the
company's board
but stepped aside
as head honcho in
2015 and has
since founded a

helmet for the sake of their
own safety. “Even if they are
wearing traditional dress, for
reasons of safety, they must
always use a helmet when
driving motorcycle,” said
Police officer Parwisti, who is
herself a native Balinese.
In closing, Parwisti
recommended that
motorcycle and four-
wheeled vehicles follow traffic
rules, make sure their vehicles are
completely outfitted when they
take to the road, and inspect the
condition of their vehicles before
they travel. This especially applies
to drivers wearing traditional dress
to attend ceremonies and rituals
who must always, without
exception, wear a standardized
safety helmet.

and a second, $62,000 loan to
launch additional refill stations.
The company later raised
$950,000 from the Tech Coast
Angels and the Hawaii Angels,
hired Razgaitis, redesigned the
look of its product and, in 2016,
raised $2.6 million in Series A
funding.
FloWater customers include
Google, Airbnb, Specialized
Bikes, and, somewhat ironically,
Red Bull. It says its stations are
now in nearly 50 states.
