NEW YORK - Cirque du Soleil is not doing flips over Justin Timberlake’s hit song “Don’t Hold the Wall.”
Dealing with AEC
Balinese labor must be visionary, creative and cultured
The Canadian theatrical performance company on Thursday sued the superstar singer with allegations that the song copied part of one of Cirque du Soleil’s original compositions without permission. Timberlake’s song appeared on his 2013 double album “20/20,” which has sold more than two million copies. The lawsuit filed in federal court in New York claimed Timberlake borrowed from the song “Steel Dream,” which was originally on Cirque du Soleil’s 1997 album, “QUIDAM.” The suit seeks a minimum of $800,000 in damages for copyright infringement. In addition to Timberlake, the lawsuit also named among the defendants the producer Timbaland - real name Timothy Mosley - who helped write the song, and Sony Music Entertainment , which released the album. Representatives for the defendants did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Thursday. Copyright infringement lawsuits are relatively common in the music world. In one high-profile case last year, the estate of soul singer Marvin Gaye won a $7.4 million jury verdict against Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams over their hit single “Blurred Lines.” (rtr)

Backstage with The Beatles at show re-staging Abbey Road recordings
LONDON - From the busy, brassy “All You Need is Love” to the softer “Yesterday”, a new show takes audiences back in time to when The Beatles recorded their famous hits at London’s Abbey Road Studios. “The Sessions - A Live Restaging of The Beatles at Abbey Road Studios” features renditions of songs the Fab Four recorded in Studio 2, with songs from their debut album “Please Please Me” to 1969’s “Abbey Road” performed as they were recorded. Surrounded by transparent screens with projected recording details, actors portraying Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison belt out the tunes alongside musicians, to replicate the vocals sung, instruments played and arrangements used at the time. Organisers are billing the show, inspired by the memoir of former Abbey Road Studios sound engineer Geoff Emerick, as a musical documentary and “the closest an audience can get to experiencing The Beatles live and at the height of their glory”. “It’s pretty true - the songs are being performed with ... with the things we would have overdubbed
onto the records,” Emerick, who serves as the show’s creative consultant, told Reuters. “We have got like double track vocals, we’ve got all sorts of guitar effects and so forth.” The show is dedicated to music producer George Martin, who died last month at the age of 90 and an actor portraying the “fifth Beatle” narrates the performance. Martin worked on many of the group’s best known hits like “I Want Hold Your Hand”, “Can’t Buy Me Love” and “Eleanor Rigby”. “It seems as though it was only like eight weeks ago but when I’ve been hearing some of these songs performed I sort of tear up a bit because ... it brings back a lot of memories of the past,” Emerick said. “We never dreamt in a million years that these songs would carry on forever.” “The Sessions” premiered at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Friday after a charity preview in The Beatles’ home city Liverpool earlier this week. The show goes on tour around the UK and in certain European countries. (rtr)

DENPASAR - Facing the competition in the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), the younger labor of Bali should have visionary, creative and cultured thought considering that Bali is a cultural tourism inspired by Hinduism. Rapid development and more advanced technology are interesting and should be used as effectively as possible. As the Y and Z generation, they have to use smartphone technology to seek knowledge and not just to chat on celebrity gossip. It can undermine the competitiveness in the job market especially in the AEC era. “It is often imperceptible to waste our time. Playing online games or using smartphone is okay, but do not spend most of the time for playing games. Get the inspiration to create new games that can be sold and favored by many people around the world. Do not only become consumers but also producers,” said Chairman of the Handayani Education Foundation Denpasar, Dr. I.B. Radendra Suastama.

Uncertainty reigns over migrants in Greece
GREECE - Less than 24 hours before Greece is due to begin returning migrants to Turkey, little sign of preparation is evident on Lesbos, the island through which hundreds of thousands of people have poured into Europe since last year.

A few signs Turkey was getting ready for the migrants could be seen on Saturday. Two room-size tents were set up on the pier of the cramped port at Dikili, where migrants being returned from Lesbos were to be taken. Two portable toilets were installed nearby. The return of the migrants is a key part of an agreement between the European Union and Turkey
aimed at ending the uncontrollable influx into Europe of migrants and refugees fleeing poverty and war in the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Under the agreement, those who cross into Greece illegally from Turkey from March 20 will be sent back to Turkey once their asylum applications have been processed. Turkey’s Interior Minister, Efkan Ala, was quoted by the pro-govern-
ment newspaper Aksam as saying 500 people were expected in Turkey from Greece on Monday. Afghans, Iraqis and Pakistanis would be deported to their countries, he said. More than 6000 migrants and refugees have been registered on Greek islands since March 20. While returns are due to begin on Monday, where they will start from and how many will be returned remains unclear. “Planning is in progress,” said George Kyritsis, a Greek government spokesman for the migration crisis.
The Athens News Agency reported at the weekend that the returns would begin on Monday morning on two Turkish passenger ships chartered by Frontex, the EU border agency. The ships will sail from Lesbsos across to the Turkish coastal town of Dikili. Some 250 people would be returned each day through Wednesday, the report said, without citing sources. Greek officials would neither confirm nor deny the report. A police spokesman on Lesbos said the force was still awaiting instructions.
Arrivals on the islands remained steady on Sunday, two weeks since the cut-off date, with 514 migrants, including many Syrians and Iraqis, crossing from Turkey through Sunday morning.Of those, 364 arrived on Lesbos, authorities said.(rtr) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.
