Jakarta Bali Marathon run of 1,344 KM   from Jakarta to Bali has  been successfully completed by The 60-year-old athlete Robert Spour during  period of 18 days.  The 60-year-old athlete started his struggle on Wednesday (1/9) morning by taking the star location in the Monas area, Central Jakarta. In one day, Uncle Rob, as he is usually called, runs an average of 85 kilometers before deciding to take a break. He must fulfill this if he wants to arrive on time in Bali.

During the run, Robert Spour got a challenge like a car passing by at high speed. In a tired body condition, he was forced to stay focused so as not to experience unwanted things. However, in the midst of his struggle, the Austrian runner encountered a new obstacle, namely an injured ring finger nail and pain in his left hip. Even so, Robert Spour continued his struggle. 

When entering the eastern region of Java Island, Om Rob got a new challenge from the weather temperature factor. The scorching sun caused his skin to burn and become dehydrated. To work around this, Robert decided to always start running in the morning or even at night around 01.00 AM

Bali visa on arrival earliest from November 2022 to protect the island from new Covid-19 transmissions announced Sandiaga Uno, the Ministry of Tourism on Thursday 26/08/2021. He explained the reasons behind not choosing Bali as a destination for essential travelers . The essential traveler is a visit by foreign tourist in the context of essential business trips and official trips. Sandiaga said that Bali was not chosen as an essential traveler destination as an effort to protect the Island of the Gods. The reason is that visits from abroad to Indonesia are considered to be the risk  for the new transmission of Covid-19.

All of these want to protect Bali because they think there are many triggers for new transmissions from PMI [Indonesian migrant workers] who return to Indonesia, not accepting essential travelers as an effort to protect Bali,” he said, Thursday (26/8/2021). According to him, Bali is expected to be able to reduce Covid-19 cases so that economic recovery by opening international borders can be carried out immediately.

Bali has also been named as the location for the G20 conference which will take place next year. Bali is also being pursued as a place for the holding of world tourism day . “The opening of Bali is a symbol of our awakening and hopefully we can gradually try it out and it can be carried out a few months before the G20 kicks  off which takes place in November 2022 or at least the end of the third quarter,” he said.

Suitcase Killer Heather Mack is about to be released in October 2021 from Kerobokan prison and will be immediately deported to the Unites States. I am fearful and nervous of returning to Chicago. I’m not worried about the idea that people cannot understand the tragedy for my sake. But I’m nervous for [my daughter] Stella,” Heather said she scared that if she comes back to the States and to be exposed to what happened.Stella was born in prison during the sensational trial of her parents,  Mack and Tommy Schaefer, in March 2015. The two were convicted by an Indonesian court of killing Mack’s mother, Chicago socialite Sheila von Wiese-Mack, 62, in August 2014. Schaefer, then 21, bludgeoned Sheila to death with a metal fruit bowl in a room at Bali’s five-star St. Regis resort. He and Heather, then 18, stuffed the body into a suitcase, loaded the bloody bag into a taxi, and fled the scene. After the cabdriver alerted police, the couple was arrested at a budget hotel a few miles away.

Both were found guilty of murder in the first degree and locked up in Bali’s Kerobokan prison, with Schaefer sentenced to 18 years and Heather to 10. But Indonesian President Joko Widodo last week decided she will be released in October — nearly three years early — for good behavior. Heather, who grew up in the well-heeled Chicago suburb of Oak Park, Ill., will be immediately deported to the US. Yet she is considering leaving Stella, now six, temporarily with the Bali foster family who has raised her since she was two years old “I do not want anyone shoving a camera into Stella’s face. I know that it will happen to me but I will do my best to protect Stella from that trauma,

I absolutely regret what happened. I loved my mom and I still do,” Heather said. “She wasn’t evil, and she didn’t deserve to die the way she did. I didn’t kill her for money. It was for my freedom and Stella’s freedom, or so I thought at the time. I think of her a thousand times a day.” Heather was raised in a $1.5 million Italian Renaissance-style home in Oak Park by her mother and her father, famed jazz arranger and composer James L. Mack. A guest conductor for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, he also worked with the London Philharmonic and  jazz legends like singer Nancy Wilson and pianist Ramsey Lewis. In 1996, James, then 66, married Sheila von Wiese,  22 years his junior. A political-science grad, Sheila told a publication  she had once worked as a researcher for Sen. Ted Kennedy, adding, “I even poured tea for Rose Kennedy a time or two.

Parties at the family home were a hot ticket among musicians, literary-types and Oak Park high society. But police were called to the  home in 2004 when James’ ex accused Sheila of preventing a visit from James’ son. (He has another son and four daughters from previous relationships.) The ex claimed that Sheila would turn off the lights and pretend not to be home when they came to see  James, who was ill and confined to bed.

In 2006, James  who was suffering from Stage IV colon cancer and had been wheelchair-bound since 2000 died of a pulmonary embolism while on vacation with Sheila and Heather in Athens, Greece. Sheila left her husband’s body in a Greek morgue to continue her holiday, cruising off to Santorini with 10-year-old Heather. It was in Santorini that my anger at my mother started, It never really stopped. It grew.”
