Bali Takes 45th Spot in World's

Best City for Street Food
The World's 50 Best Cities For Street Food-Obsessed
Travellers rankings, as determined by CEOWORLD
magazine, places Bali in 45th place out of the 50 best cities.
The data is the result of an annual survey of 92,000 business travelers
and 1,400 corporate travel agents in 86 countries, commissioned by the
CEOWORLD magazine.
The study was conducted over three months, between July and
September 2019. Bali has a variety of roadside food with characteristic
spices; typical Balinese food has a strong taste. Sate Lilit and Nasi
Campur Bali with Lawar are often hunted by tourists who go to Bali.
The city which ranked number one was Singapore. Singapore is
renowned as one of the countries with the safest street food in the world
because the government rules are strict about locations and
cleanliness.
The full list of 50 cities with the best street food is Singapore, Bangkok,
Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh, Mumbai, Rome, Tel Aviv, Sydney, Mexico
City, Portland, Dubai, Chicago, Seoul, Berlin, Paris, Istanbul, Los
Angeles, Palermo, Tokyo, and New Orleans. Cartagena in the next
order continues Port Louis, Honolulu, San Francisco, Taipei,
Marrakech, Rio de Janeiro, New York, Austin, Durban, Kingston, San
Juan, Amsterdam, Havana, Fukuoka, Amman, Bogota, Osaka,
Budapes, Athens, Miami, Delhi, London, Beijing, Bali, Cairo, Dakar,
Sao Paulo, Barcelona, and Kolkata.

submersible rocket, you are capable of
going about 80km/h above the sea and
40km/h under; you'll get the thrill of your
life! It's a watercraft with a jet-like cockpit
that allows you to speed and splash
through water. Become dolphin-like in the
beautiful waters of Bali and dive for 5 to 15
seconds and go up to 2 metres under the
surface. You can also roll up and do sharp-
turning as the jet machinery is incredibly
easy to maneuver. Ever think of yourself
as a Top Gun? Fight against the G-force
and jump 6 metres out of the waves!
Worried about safety? There's nothing to
be concerned about as the glass is made
from F16 fighter-grade, and this “big boy
toy” is nearly unsinkable. With nothing to
be scared of, just fasten your belt and jump
like a dolphin in the open sea!

Virgin Galactic becomes first space tourism company
to land on Wall Street
Virgin Galactic landed
on Wall Street Monday,
debuting its listing on
the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE) in a

company.
Founder Richard Branson
appeared on the floor of the
NYSE to ring a bell marking
the beginning of trading, as

milestones, including sending our

The company, which will trade under
the initials SPCE, ended down 0.34
percent at $11.75, with a valuation of
$969 million.
Virgin Galactic joined the NYSE after
merging with Social Capital
Hedosophia, which was already
listed. This allowed it to skip the formal
IPO process and bring in $450 million.
Founded in 2004, Virgin Galactic has
spent years developing its space
program, and after a fatal accident in

The company plans to offer
weightless flights to six passengers at

ticket for the first customers from the
Summer of 2020, though it has yet to
begin commercial launches.
The client-astronauts will be able to

Beach Conservation Centre
Sindhu Dwarawati Turtle
Conservation Centre,
which is a conservation

to the scene to investigate,” he
said. A witness, I Made Winarta,

Furthermore, Interceptor can
extract 50,000 kilograms of trash
per day and could potentially
collect up to 100,000kg per day
under optimised conditions. The
device is designed to be
environmentally friendly. It's solar-

When the man, who is a
conservation officer, counted the
turtles, he was shocked that there
were several turtles missing. “The
conservation officer checked the
turtles at around 5 am and found
that there were 24 turtles missing.
The thief took mature turtles with
sizes from 10 cm to 45 cm and
smaller ones about 5 cm in size,”
Wirajaya added.

Roger Federer tipped “so many

ambitious young gun firmly in his
place with another tennis
masterclass.
Federer clinched a record-
extending 10th Swiss Indoors
championship in his hometown of
Basel with a crushing 6-2 6-2
victory over de Minaur.
The 38-year-old has now won 103
career singles titles to be six shy of
Jimmy Connors' all-time record —
and exactly 100 more than de
Minaur, who, at 20, is barely half
the age of the 20-times grand slam

“I was really hoping that Roger
was going to get sick of winning
here and give someone else a

amazing.”
But, praising his opponent,
Federer predicted: “So many more
things to come for you. You are
going up from here.”
De Minaur had won all three of his
titles this year, but was no match
for Federer, who converted four of
10 break points and didn't drop
serve during the 68-minute clinic.
“It was fast but very nice, I think I
played a great match,” an
emotional Federer said after lifting
the trophy.
The record win in Basel — where
he once acted as a ball boy — was
the second time he had won a
tournament 10 times after
achieving the feat in Halle in June.

Beast braced for English onslaught in World Cup
final
South Africa's Tendai 'Beast'
Mtawarira believes the
Springboks will have to "play
out of our skins" if they are to
beat England in the Rugby
World Cup final.
England booked their place in
Saturday's showpiece match in
Yokohama with a stunning 19-7
win over New Zealand last
weekend that ended the All Blacks'
eight-year reign as world
champions.
By contrast, South Africa ground
out a 16-13 semi-final victory over
Wales in an attritional contest 24
hours later to set up a repeat of the
2007 final that the
Springboks won 15-6 in
Paris.
"They (England) are
playing great rugby and
with confidence so it is
going to be a big
challenge for us," said
Mtawarira, whose
'Beast' nickname, which
dates back to his
schooldays in Harare, is
an affectionate tribute to
the 114-kilogramme (18
stone) prop's strength.
"They were charged up
for the (New Zealand) game, right
from the first minute. They got on
the front foot and were more
physical and they got their
reward."
South Africa have been triumphant
in their two previous World Cup
finals, memorably beating New
Zealand on home soil in 1995
before defeating England in Paris
in 2007.
Victory in Yokohama on Saturday
would continue their sequence of
being crowned world champions
at 12-year intervals but it would
also mean the Springboks having
to make history of a different kind
as well.
Every team that has so far lifted
the Webb Ellis Cup has gone
through the tournament unbeaten.
1 Nov. - 7 Nov. 2019
South Africa, however, lost their
first match at Japan 2019, going
down 23-13 to arch-rivals New
Zealand in Yokohama last month.
But Mtawarira, a veteran of 116
Tests who is set to retire from the
game after the tournament, knows
that history will mean little when
the teams line up.
"What has happened in the past
doesn't really count. We know we'll
have to play out of our skins to win
it on Saturday," he said.
The last time the finalists met,
England edged out the Springboks
12-11 at Twickenham in November
2018, with home captain Owen
Farrell fortunate not to concede a
penalty when, with 80 minutes on
the clock, he escaped censure for
an illegal 'no arms' tackle.
"Every time we play against each
other it's always a physical
onslaught and I don't think it will be
any different next Saturday,"
explained Mtawarira, who said he
was "excited" by the prospect of
facing England props Mako
Vunipola and Kyle Sinckler.
The 1995 World Cup remains a
landmark in South African history,
with the sight of Nelson Mandela
presenting the trophy to captain
Francois Pienaar providing an
iconic image of the 'Rainbow
Nation' but Mtawarira was only 10
years old and it passed him by.
"I was just a primary school kid in
16
Sports Corner
Zimbabwe back then, I didn't
watch rugby then, I was playing
soccer," said the 34-year-old
Mtawarira.
The second win under the
captaincy of John Smit in 2007 --
which took place a year before
Beast's Test debut -- made far
more of a lasting impression.
"In 2007 I did watch and it was
amazing, inspirational stuff and to
be part of a World Cup final is a
dream come true for me.
"I have worked hard throughout
my career to get here and I want to
make it count," he added.
- 'Inspirational Kolisi' -
Victory for South Africa
in the final would, as
was the case 24 years
ago, have a resonance
beyond rugby given
flanker Siya Kolisi is the
first non-white captain of
the Springboks.
"It would be extra
special," said
Mtawarira, who was
granted South African
citizenship in 2010.
"Siya is an inspirational
leader, in the way South
Africa has got behind
him.
"It means a lot to unite the country.
He has been exemplary. It would
be amazing to win this World Cup
with him as captain."
And it would be an amazing way
for Beast to bring down the curtain
on a memorable international
career.

A 'fantasy fight' he cherrypicked. Canelo is boxing's
new Floyd Mayweather
The art of choosing an
opponent is a complex one
but Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, the
Mexican superstar whose
every decision has a domino
effect on the rest of the sport,
has got it right more often
than he has got it wrong.
The call to fight him is a lottery ticket
that arrives on his terms, not yours.
Deal with it.
His great rival Gennadiy Golovkin
finally got the opportunity that he
wanted at the age of 35 and will never
accept the result (a draw) – Canelo
won the rematch, and the history
books will say that the greatest
middleweight rivalry of this generation
went his way. Perhaps there will be a
trilogy, Canelo will decide.
His selections of dates, cities, titles
and weights means the onus is now
on Sergey Kovalev to answer the call,
but this is a game of Russian roulette
unlike any other that Canelo has
played.
The Mexican will step up two weight
classes to challenge for Kovalev's
WBO light-heavyweight
championship, in an attempt to add a
major title in a fourth division. This is a
career that is well on its way to
becoming one of the finest of its time
from the latest phenom from a nation
that has produced so many classic
boxers.
Canelo has cherrypicked Kovalev. He
has stuck his finger firmly in the chest
of a man much bigger than he is, and
said: 'I can beat you'.
The perception is that Russia's
Kovalev is ageing, creaking, slowing
down – that he is teetering on the
verge of retirement and a gentle
nudge from whoever his next
opponent is will usher him out of the
1 Nov. - 7 Nov. 2019
ring for good.
Canelo is banking on
this being the case but
it is a severe test of his
judgment.
The man called
'Krusher' being written
off in this fight is the
defending champion,
until 2017 one of the
best boxers in the
world and a judges'
decision away from
cementing his spot as No 1.
He was unbeaten and arguably the
most feared and vicious puncher in
the world when he first met Andre
Ward – he knocked his fellow world
champion down but the debatable
scorecards favoured the American,
and Kovalev's aura of invincibility
went up in a puff of smoke. He was the
Oleksandr Usyk of the time until that
fight.
T h e Wa r d r e m a t c h r e m o v e d
Kovalev's fear factor altogether – he
was stopped this time, although he
claims he was hurt by low blows.
The interpretation of the great bully
changed overnight and a third defeat,
via knockout to Eleider Alvarez last
year, was assumed to be proof that
Kovalev was washed-up even though
he convincingly won a rematch.
We are still talking about an elite
fighter, a knockout artist to rival
virtually anybody in the game, who will
be boxing a much smaller opponent in
Canelo. If this fight happened two or
three years ago, who would be the
overwhelming favourite?
Perhaps signs of Kovalev's decline
are obvious to Canelo, schooled in

questions about the cleanliness of his
lifestyle, he has changed trainers
twice in a few years, he might have a
problem with body shots and he is just
nine weeks removed from a gruelling
victory over Britain's Anthony Yarde.
Kovalev stopped the far-less
experienced Yarde but took a
pummelling in the process and it has
been an inconveniently quick
turnaround to get back into the ring.
Canelo, of course, knew that. His
terms, not yours.
Canelo was once on the wrong side of
these tricky negotiations – Floyd
Mayweather made him shrink down to
an unnaturally low 152 lbs before the
only defeat of his 55-fight career. He
learned from that and now Canelo is
the sheriff in town.
If he pulls off this audacious heist of
the 175 lbs gold he will have authority
in three weight divisions and the
queue to face him in May on Cinco de
Mayo, the Mexican national holiday
which has become a key date in the
boxing calendar, will lengthen. He
remains the world middleweight
champion and could face Golovkin or
Demetrius Andrade. Callum Smith
and Billy Joe Saunders await at super-
middle, while light-heavyweight's
newest Russian monster Artur
Beterbiev will watch this weekend's
fight with interest.
Kovalev vs Canelo in Las Vegas is a
fantasy fight, one that would have
seemed absurd not so long ago when
they were separated by over 20
pounds of muscle but is now reality.

International raiders stormed home, but did they
score for you?
Although there were
only two G1 races
this week, it didn't
stop SuperCoach
stables from being
able to surpass 300
points again this
round; a mighty effort
by seven stable
managers who
managed that feat.
It was certainly the round for
cheapies with plenty of
horses managing on the
placegetter's list who started
the round $150,000 or less,
but it was all about jockey choice in
Round 5 with three hoops notching
double digits which is unprecedented so
far in SuperCoach.
MANIKATO STAKES
What a boilover! Godolphin's BIVOUAC
($350,000) seemed a moral to win a
lower-class Manikato Stakes on Friday
night, but bombed-out as LOVING
GABY ($275,000) got up with Craig
Williams piloting the stellar three-year-
old filly to G1 victory. Only 269 teams
had VITAL SILVER ($300,000) in their
stable who held on for second place,
while in third it was ANAHEED
($150,000) who proved a great value
pick for 988 owners. If you were only of
the unlucky 198 who owned MERYL
($150,000), then you've copped a big fat
doughnut as well as a $25,000
deduction for your efforts.
COX PLATE
Hats off to the very small percentage of
coaches who had the trifecta in the Cox
Plate. Japanese raider LYS GRACIEUX
($450,000) stormed home in emphatic
style for more than 10,000 teams on
Saturday, beating off one of the best
second-places finishes you'll ever see in
the great race in CASTELVECCHIO
($300,000) followed by New Zealand
galloper TE AKAU SHARK ($375,000)
in third. However, SuperCoach burn-
man AVILIUS has strung together two
underwhelming performances now, and
at $500,000 that is a huge hit to both the
salary cap and points for more than
3,300 stables this week. If you were the
owner of DANCETERIA ($250,000)
then you've been hit with a $25,000
deduction and zero points, ouch.

1 Nov. - 7 Nov. 2019

for your efforts. In the event of a dead
heat, both horses are awarded the same
points, so if you managed to get on the
right end of that loophole with both

SILVER PLATE
A Mom visits her son for dinner who live with girl
roommate.
During the course of the meal, his mother couldn’t help
but notice how pretty his roommate was. She had long
been suspicious of the relationship between the two,
and this had only made her more curious....
Over the course of the evening, while watching the two
interact, she started wonder if there was more between
him and his roommate than met the eye.
Reading his mom’s thoughts, his son volunteered,”I
know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, we
are just roommate.”
About a week later, his roommate came to him
saying,”Ever since your mother came to dinner, I’ve
been unable to find the silver plate. You don’t suppose
she took it do you?”
He said,” Well, I doubt it, but I’ll email her, just to be
sure.” He sat down and wrote:
Dear Mother:
I’m not saying that you ‘did’ take the silver plate from my
house, I’m not saying that you ‘did not’ take the silver
plate, but the fact remains that it has been missing ever
since you were here for dinner.
Love.
Your son.
Several days later, he received an email from his mother
which read:
Dear Son:
I’m not saying that you ‘do’ sleep with your roommate, and
I’m not saying that you ‘do not’ sleep with her. But the fact
remains that if she was sleeping in her OWN bed, she
would have found the silver plate by now, under her
pillow...
Love,
Mom.

A Young Doctor
A young doctor had moved out to a small
community to replace a doctor who was retiring.
The older gent suggested the young one
accompany him on his rounds so the community
could become used to a new doctor. At the first
house a woman complained, "I've been a little sick
to my stomach." The older doctor said, "Well, you've
probably been overdoing the fresh fruit. Why not cut
back on the amount you've been eating and see if
that does the trick?" As they left the younger man
said, "You didn't even examine that woman.
How'd you come to your diagnosis so quickly?" "I
didn't have to. You noticed I dropped my
stethoscope on the floor in there? When I bent over
to pick it up, I noticed a half dozen banana peels in
the trash. That was what was probably making her
sick." "Huh," the younger doctor said, "Pretty clever.
I think I'll try that at the next house." Arriving at the
next house, they spent several minutes talking with
an elderly woman. She complained that she just
didn't have the energy she once did. "I'm feeling
terribly run down lately." "You've probably been
doing too much work for the church," the younger
doctor told her. "Perhaps you should cut back a bit
and see if that helps." As they left, the elder doc
said, "Your diagnosis is almost certainly correct, but
how did you arrive at it?" "Well, just like you at the
last house, I dropped my stethoscope. When bent
down to retrieve it, I noticed the preacher under the
bed."
