Nusa Penida Island

Nusa Penida is an island southeast of Bali, Indonesia. There are two small islands nearby: Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan. The Badung Strait separates the island and Bali. The interior of Nusa Penida is hilly with a maximum altitude of 524 meters. It is drier than the nearby island of Bali. Unlike the neighboring small island of Nusa Lembongan there is very little tourist infrastructure here.

Bali Bird Sanctuary on Nusa Penida

Nusa Penida is a unique island-wide bird sanctuary. It is unique in that Nusa Penida is a populated island where all of the island's communities have used traditional Balinese village regulations to create a sanctuary for birds. The idea of converting Nusa Penida (and its sister islands of Lembongan and Ceningan) into a bird sanctuary came from Drh I. Gede Nyoman Bayu Wirayudha (veterinarian) and his Indonesian NGO, Friends of the National Parks Foundation (FNPF), who envisioned the islands to be a natural safe haven where endangered birds could be released to rebuild their numbers, free from the threat of poachers. FNPF spent 2 years counselling all of the key people of influence on the Penida islands on the benefits of protecting birds and conservation. In 2006 all 35 villages (now 41 villages) unanimously agreed to make bird protection part of their traditional regulations (“awig-awig”), making it a social and spiritual obligation for all Penida residents to protect birds. Since then, FNPF has rehabilitated and released various Indonesian birds, most notably the critically endangered Bali Starling which is endemic to Bali but whose numbers in the wild had declined to less than 10 in 2005. After a 2 year program by FNPF in which 64 cage bred birds were rehabilitated and released onto Nusa Penida, their number had increased to over 100 in 2009. Other released birds include Java Sparrow, Mitchell's Lorikeet and Sculpture Crested Cockatoo. In return for this unanimous commitment by all villages to protect birds, FNPF runs a variety of community wellbeing / development projects. FNPF's office, visitor center, nursery and guest accommodation is located in the village of Ped, on the north side of Nusa Penida.

Diving sites

Nusa Penida covers a wide area of diving locations. They are Penida Bay, Batu Lumbung (Manta Point), Batu Meling, Batu Abah, Toya Pakeh and Malibu Point^, The flow through the Lombok Strait is, overall, south-tending, although the strength and direction of the tidal streams are influenced by the monsoon seasons.

During the southeast monsoons, the tidal flow tends south; during the northeast monsoons, the tidal flow tends north. In the area of the strait north of Nusa Penida, the pattern is relatively simple, with a flow, at peaktide, of about three-and-one-half knots. Tidal streams in Badung Strait are semi-diurnal, but the character of the stream is very complicated because its direction runs obliquely to the general south to north direction of Lombok Strait, and the channel has a curved shape.

Toyapakeh

Toyapakeh has a stretch of reefs, and in the southern part of the bay there is a similar area of rugged bommies, rich with color and fish. Big schools of fish, sea turtles, and occasionally Mola mola (sunfish) are highlight of Toyapakeh diving. Toyapakeh is special for its pillars of coral.

Malibu Point

Malibu Point is a diving site with gray reefs, reef white tips, silver-tips and numerous sharks. While Penida Bay is another anchorage, and the rocky islands have an interesting forms; something like an old resting elephant. The bay is vulnerable to swell, creating-up-and-down-currents. Then, Manta Point is a limestone rock off Pandan cafe. The swell is relatively strong.

Nusa Penida/Lembongan

Nusa Penida/Lembongan is a diving site with vast spread of coral reefs and good visibility. Big fish are frequently observed at the area. Manta rays or sunfishes appear in certain seasons.

The site is also known because of the very strong currents requiring advanced diving skills.

Crystal Bay

Crystal Bay is calmer than outer shore. There are schools of Anthias. A school of batfish comes around periodically. A bat cave is located nearby.

ABSTRACT

            To having interaction, sometimes people make mistake that might hurt people and make the relationship going bad. To repairing that broken, we need apology to keep the relationship going well. Therefore, the writer was interested to study about the language apology of online world that is Facebook.

            The subject of this study is the Students of Ganesha University 2009/2010 and Analyzed by using Blum- Kulka strategies of apology. The purpose of the study are find out (1) the strategies of apology are used on Facebook by students of Ganesha University based on Blum-Kulka theory (2) the pragmatic expressions are meant by students of Ganesha University in apologizing on Facebook (3) types of gender variations in the use of strategies of apology are showed on Facebook by students of Ganesha University.

The result showed (1) the uses of Overt Apology and Taking on Responsibility are mostly used by students of Ganesha University on Facebook and the strategies of Shifting of blame (denial of responsibility), Attacking the complainer and Justification are rare used (2) many apologies were verbalized because the apologizers   like to deal with their problem directly. However, some others used ambiguous apology because the apologizers wanted to protect themselves from being accused of guilt (3) In gender variations of strategy used, the result showed that men used the expression of lack of intent more than women in their apology; men used the expression of explanation more than women; and men used the verbalization of offense more than women.

The writer hopes that this study will give any information about the ways of apologizing and give a contribution in people daily interaction.
