Badung tourism optimistic to reach target
NEW YORK - Nearly four years after the shocking massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, a new film, “Newtown,” explores how a small Connecticut town has coped with the aftermath of the deadliest shooting of schoolchildren in U.S. history. The film, which opens in New York on Friday, begins with a late-summer parade, a scene that highlights the innocence of what was in many ways a typical American town. It then switches to a recording of the 911 call on the morning in December 2012 when 20 first graders and six educators were shot dead by a disturbed young man. “Newtown” shows how the event changed life in the town forever. “It is that feeling of a joyful summer and then boom it’s gone,” said Kim A. Snyder, the director of the film, which made its debut earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival. Snyder, who spent three years on the project, found a strength and dignity in the people of Newtown as they attempted to come to grips with the unthinkable. “It explores the process of grief and efforts at making change,” the 55-year-old director explained. “Newtown” depicts members of the community as victims whose pain has endured long after the

Parents of three of the children who were killed speak about how the shootings have devastated them. A surviving teacher, a first-responder, a custodian at the school, a neighbor and others share their experiences as well. “It was a way of bearing witness and giving them voice to whatever they were feeling,” said Snyder. She makes no mention of the gunman, who killed himself, and even though parents who lost chil-
dren have pushed for stricter gun laws, “Newtown” is not a film that directly addresses the issue of gun law reform. “This was not about him or that,” Snyder said. “I felt this film had to stay with the point of view of the survivors and aftermath and what is left in the wake.” The film shifts back and forth in time to reflect the feeling, relayed by people in the community, of being lost in time. Snyder suspects that is one of the hallmarks of trauma. (rtr)

MANGUPURA - Tourist arrival to Bali especially to Badung is estimated to reach the target. This is reflected in the number of commercial aircraft passengers at the Ngurah Rai International Airport showing an increase of 16 percent in September 2016. PT Angkasa Pura I (airport operator) noted that it has served 14.8 million passengers by the end of the third quarter when compared to September of last year with passenger amounting to 12.7 million. The Badung Tourism Office also records a quite fantastic figure of 3,119,956 travelers. The Head of the Badung Tourism Office, Cokorda Raka Darmawan, said that the travelers are still dominated by the Australian as well as Chinese market. “We are optimistic that the target of more than 4.3 million travelers can be reached this yearend. When compared to the same period in 2015, it shows an increase of 21.59 percent,” said Raka Darmawan.

Trail goes cold in German hunt for man suspected of planning bomb attack
BERLIN - The trail went cold on Sunday in a German police manhunt for a Syrian refugee suspected of planning a bomb attack after a raid on an apartment in which a cache of explosives was found. “We are following numerous tips, but unfortunately we don’t have a hot lead yet,” said Tom Bernhardt, spokesman for the Saxony state criminal investigation office. “We must continue to assume that this person poses a danger.” A security source told Reuters
that there was some evidence indicating the Syrian had Islamist leanings. “But this doesn’t automatically mean we are talking about IS (Islamic State). This could also be a case of self-radicalisation via the Internet.” Police appealed to the public for
any information on the suspect, 22year-old Jaber Albakr, after Saturday’s apartment raid in the eastern German city of Chemnitz. They described him as wearing a black hooded top with a bright pattern on the front, and warned people to be careful of him. Albakr had been in Germany since last year and was officially recognised as a refugee, Bernhardt said. He was not previously known to police, who raided the flat after
a tip-off from the domestic intelligence service. Police have begun investigating a second Syrian who rented the apartment that was raided and was known to Albakr. He was detained in Chemnitz on Saturday on suspicion of involvement in preparing a bomb attack with Albakr, Bernhardt said. Two other people detained in Chemnitz on Saturday have been released. In late July, Islamic State
claimed responsibility for attacks on a train near Wuerzburg and at a music festival in Ansbach which wounded 20 people.(rtr) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

COVER STORY
Tourists... From page 1
According to him, there is an increase of 5-10 percent every year. Target of tourist arrival increase can always be achieved. He considered the rising trend is quite good for the development of tourism in Bali, and he expected to further increase in the coming years. “To increase the tourist visit, we also participate in the promotion in Berlin, Germany. In addition, the promotion is also made to the three major cities in Australia such as Perth, Melbourne and Sydney. Participation of Badung district in the ITB Berlin is fairly regular. Lastly, the government of Badung teamed up with the Badung Tourism Promotion Board (BPBD),” he explained. In addition to making promotion in Europe, Australia and ASEAN region, the government with the allocated budget of IDR 3 billion
for the 2016 also begins to open up the market share to China and Japan. Besides, it is surely made to the neighboring countries like Singapore and others. “In terms of destinations, we plan to develop new potentials. It includes the development of the Melasti Beach at Ungasan and Penikit waterfall in Petang subdistrict,” he said. Despite developing new destinations, Raka Darmawan affirmed that the government of Badung remains to protect the surrounding nature in developing tourist attractions. “Our appeal will persistently based on culture, not merely are but also nature,” he said. As is known, the Badung district has a number of famous tourist objects such as the Taman Ayun, Uluwatu Temple, Sangeh monkey forest, Nungnung waterfall, Pandawa Beach and Labuan Sait. Of course the Kuta, Legian and Seminyak Beach have been categorized into a row of familiar tourist
attractions in the eyes of the world community. “We have teamed up with the association and tourism industry or relevant stakeholders to work together in improving the security,” he said. He mentioned that security is the key to maintaining tourism having been growing as it is now. Therefore, his office always makes coordination with police authority, especially the Bali Police, primarily related to the hotel security management system. This includes the installation of CCTV at strategic places to provide security for visitors. In the meantime, General Manager of the Ngurah Rai Airport, Yanus Suprayogi, said that in terms of the composition, the number of domestic and international passengers is relatively unchanged at 7.4 million passengers. “In the past four years, passenger growth in 2016 is the highest,” he said.

Subak in Tabanan threatened by land shrinkage TABANAN - Tabanan has 229 subak (irrigation cooperative) organizations spread over ten subdistricts. One of the main functions of subak is governing the traditional agricultural irrigation. Requirements of establishing a subak include the existence of Bedugul temple, having a source of water and land area of at least 100 hectares. A total of 229 subak organizations in Tabanan remain to survive and none dissolves itself. However, the acreage of the subak is threatened by shrinkage due to land conversion to plantations or building function.
The subak in Dukuh Acak Mandung Kerambitan
IBP/Wira Sanjiwani
The Head of the Tabanan Agriculture and Food Crops Agency, Nyoman Budana, said that his agency continues to monitor the shrinkage of land every year. Each subak is required to report the amount of land area each year. If there is shrinkage, it must be reported along with the reason why it happens. Of the 229 subak organizations in Tabanan based on data from the Agriculture Agency in 2015, those having acreage under 100 hectares are 10 of 14 subak organizations in West Selemadeg, 11 of 19 subak organizations in Selemadeg and 17 of 26 subak organizations in East Selemadeg, 15 of 23 subak organizations in Kerambitan, 15 of 24 subak organizations in Tabanan, 8 of 23 subak organizations in Kediri, 14 of 34 subak organizations in Penebel and 17 of 18 subak organizations in
Pupuan. According to Budana, this time the subak in Tabanan remains to survive and there is even making an expansion as in the region of Selemadeg because it has a quite extensive land area. “However, it must still meet the necessary requirements and dissemination into the field before it is stipulated as a new subak,” explained Budana. Shrinkage of farmland is admitted to occur in Tabanan. Based on land area, the shrinkage averagely happens to 185.25 hectares per year or about 0.82 percent within the past five years (2010-2015). If seen from 2014 to 2015, the shrinkage of farmland area reached 248 hectares. Nevertheless, there is additional non-paddy field farmland where during the period of 2010-2015 the annual average increase reached
127.5 hectares or 0.32 percent. During the period of 2014-2015 there was additional non-paddy field farmland of 73 hectares or 0.18 percent. The non-paddy field farmland covers moor, plantations, community forests, pastures, national forests, dormant land and others like pool or pond. Of the land shrinkage, some are used for buildings such as residential, office and highway in which throughout the period of 20102015 the average land converted into building each year reached 57.60 hectares or 0.27 percent. In the meantime, during the period of 2014-2015 the area of paddy field area converted into building reached 175 hectares. Budana added that the assistance provided for subak organization is not in the form of cash, but in the form of fertilizer subsidies, aid of farming tools to repair supporting infrastructure such as irrigation, farm pathway and the establishment of gutter. In addition, the government helps market the agricultural products such as healthy rice. Currently, it is being developed the village-owned enterprise (BUMDes) that will help farmers to distribute their products. (kmb24)

Estonia’s wedge-shaped national museum opens on former Soviet airbase
TARTU - A 350-metre-long glass block ramps up from the runway of a former soviet airfield near the city of Tartu to form the Estonian National Museum, which officially opens to the public today (+ slideshow). Designed by Paris architecture office Dorell Ghotmeh Tane (DGT), the museum boasts a huge slanted roof that is designed as an extension of the old runway, located a few kilometres outside the city. DGT co-founders Lina Ghotmeh, Dan Dorell and Tsuyoshi Tane won a competition to design the museum in 2005 and first photographs of the building first emerged earlier this summer. But it officially opens to the public on 1 October 2016, following a press preview earlier this week. This new set of images show the museum and its landscaping just ahead of the opening. The 34,000-square-metre museum is the largest in the Baltic States. Its exhibitions chart Estonia’s history from the Stone Age to present day. “Designing a national museum for Estonia was an extraordinary challenge given the country’s many decades of tumultuous history, a history that is recent enough to still remain in the nation’s memory,” said the architects, referring to the country’s not-so-distant Soviet occupation. “The structure resembles a glass wedge inserted into the landscape that slowly reaches upward from the ground – a built allegory for the country’s emerging history,” they added. The facades are covered in a printed motif of an abstracted cornflower, Estonia’s national flower, giving the glazing a frosted appearance. A huge entrance is recessed into the tallest part of the building, which reaches 14 metres. Inside, gallery spaces, a conference hall, public library, auditoriums, educations rooms, offices and storage space for the museum’s collections are contained within a combination of glazed and opaque boxes. “The museum has waited for getting its real own home for 107 years and the cultural project to be completed now is the greatest in the history of independent Estonia in financial as well as spatial terms,” said the firm.

Though having been regulated, hazardous substances often abused
DENPASAR - Actually the distribution of hazardous substances frequently abused for food such as formalin, borax, rhodamine B and metanil yellow has been set up in the decree of the Minister of Industry and Trade No.24/2006 concerning the supervision against production and the use of hazardous substances to the industry. On the other hand, these substances are required. For instance, formalin is used to preserve corpses and used in lumber mills, while borax is anti-fungal used for soldering and textile dyes used to dye clothes. “In other words, their distribution has been regulated by an agency, but not by the BPOM,” said Endang Widowati, the Chief of the Denpasar Agency of Drug and Food Control (BBPOM) in Denpasar, recently. If these substances are not misused in the food, the BBPOM will not intervene in the supervision. Since it is widely abused in food, the BBPOM also participates in securing food. Lately the distribution of formalin is tightened and limited only to preserve corpses. Her agency also hoped that similar regulation is applied to distribution of the three other hazardous substances. “The others like dye have been tightened and set forth in the ministerial regulation in terms of use and packaging. However, there are still people abuse it,” she said. In this case, there is supply
and demand. On that account, the BBPOM has cut off the distribution chain from the consumer and producer side. In the inspection carried out recently, her agency still found rhodamine B in Balinese muffin (apem) and jaja uli at Nyanggelan Market, Panjer. Of the inspection and sampling test conducted, it was still found rhodamine B, but formalin has begun to decrease though still found. “Yesterday, we took shrimp paste sold in kilogram unit but it no longer contained formalin and rhodamine B. We also took dried fish and fresh fish but the formalin test showed negative result,” she explained. No wonder if many foods contain hazardous substances lately. It happens because hazardous substances such as borax, formalin and rhodamine B are easily obtained. Dr. I Made Agus Gelgel Wirasuta, Chairman of the Institute of Forensic Science and Criminology of the Udayana University recently argued that the substance is easily obtained because they are not intended for food. Moreover, in Java the borax known as bleng has been familiarly used in food. However, he expressed that currently the distribution of formalin has been regulated and can only be used for embalming corpses so that it is now hard to get. “But the dye is still very easy to obtain in the community,” he added.

Since having no permit
A villa development at Perancak highlighted
NEGARA - Commission A of the Jembrana House of Representatives urged the municipal police and licensing office to check the construction of a villa at Perancak village. Based on the inspection conducted on Friday (Oct. 7), the Commission in charge of licensing found if the villa construction has not owned a permit. The legislators found a number of multi-storey buildings lining up in the construction phase planned for villa. After the inspection, a member of Commission A, Ketut Sadwi Darmawan, said that other than a unit of unlicensed villa, three of the 15 villas managed by PT Pasti cannot present the permit. Accompanied by another member of Commission A, Nyoman Sudiasa, Sadwi claimed to have asked municipal police and licensing office to follow it up. The management has also been reprimanded to complete the licensing first before doing the development. “We want the company complies with the rules and may not build illegally. The arrangement will be difficult,” said Sadwi who is also Chairman of the Gerindra Party. In addition, the legislators also highlighted the absence of
permit for the management office. It is said the management office remains in Gianyar. They also asked information about the taxes of villas and levies to local village. However, the management claimed that the data are still in Gianyar office and will be met within a week. In the meantime, the headman of Perancak, I Nyoman Wijana, said that based on information of the villa owner, it has actually submitted the permit and handled by the employee. However, he did not know about clarity whether it has building permit or not. “I have reminded, it is said that the permit is still being processed,” he explained. The headman also asked the
management to immediately complete the permit. It includes the permit of the management office as recommended by the Commission A, so that it will be located at Perancak. According to him, operations of the villas have absorbed approximately 200 local residents of Perancak as the workers including the construction workers at the villa. In addition, the villa has paid levies to the village at IDR 25,000 per occupying guest. From the observation, though it has not owned a permit, there are at least four multi-storey buildings lining up. According to worker, it will be built again 30 units of villa within the land surrounded by compound wall. Separately, the Chief of the Jembrana Municipal Police, I Gusti Ngurah Rai Budhi, claimed to have received instruction related to the inspection of the Commission A.

To overcome seed needs, production of farmers boosted
BANGLI - The desire of Bangli district to develop its own seeds, especially horticultural crops independently to meet the needs of farmers cannot have been realized. It happens because the problem of land availability. Responding to this, the production of seeds continues to be boosted through a number of farmers. The result is quite good, where they are not only able to meet the local needs, but some commodities have also penetrated into a number of regions in Indonesia. Acting Head of the Bangli Agriculture and Forestry Agency, Ni Wayan Manik, said the nursery should be supported with adequate land just like the fish breeding center. Environmental conditions must also support. Her agency realized that seed need these days tends to increase. Types of the plants needed by farmers are also more varied, ranging from onions, bamboo and coconut to tangerine. To meet this demand, it is made by the relying on the production of a number of breeders. For example, bamboo is more brought in from Landih village, Bangli and Bayunggede, Kintamani and so is tangerine. Then, coconut is cultivated by farmers at Lumbuan hamlet, Sulahan, Susut and rice at Subak Denan, Apuan (Susut) and Subak Teba,
Bunutin (Bangli). “Since there is no land, the seed nursery is carried out by farmers. This is continuously encouraged and nurtured, and they must be independent,” he said, Saturday (Oct. 8). She added that onion also becomes the leading agricultural commodity of Bangli. In order to boost production, the seed aid has also been disbursed. Likewise, the development of independent seed procurement continues to be carried out. “Onions are continuously cultivated. This has very good potential. Farmers can also make their own seeds,” he said. Quality of the seeds produced by farmers is quite superior. Due to such quality, the demand is not only coming from Bangli district, but also from a number of regions in Bali and beyond Bali. Lately, seed development can already become supporting income of farmers. “Other than intended to meet the needs in Bangli, the seed production has penetrated into various regions in Bali. Moreover, the bamboo seed has even been delivered to Kalimantan,” he concluded. (kmb45)

Jamie McGoldrick, a UN official in charge of humanitarian efforts in the country, said more than 525 were injured. The death toll was 82, according to Ghazi Ismail, the administration’s acting health minister. The reason for the discrepancy in numbers was not immediately clear. Ismail said the air strike occurred in the southern part of the city, where a wake was taking place for the father of the administration’s interior minister, Jalal al-Roweishan, who had died of natural causes on Friday. The death toll was one of the largest in any single incident since the Saudi-led alliance began military operations to try to restore President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi to power following his ousting by the Iran-aligned Houthis in March 2015. “The Saudi aggression committed a major crime today, by attacking a mourning hall for the al-Roweishan family, targeting
residents in the hall,” Ismail told a news conference in Sanaa. In a strongly worded rebuke, the White House said it may consider cutting its support to the Saudi-led military campaign. “U.S. security cooperation with Saudi Arabia is not a blank check,” said U.S. National Security Council spokesman Ned Price in a statement. “In light of this and other recent incidents, we have initiated an immediate review of our already significantly reduced support to the Saudi-led coalition and are prepared to adjust our support so as to better align with U.S. principles, values and interests, including achieving an immediate and durable end to Yemen’s tragic conflict.” Sources in the Saudi-led coalition said there was no Arab coalition air role in the strike. “Absolutely no such operation took place at that target,” one of the sources said, citing what he described as confirmation from the coalition air force command.

Forensic experts invistigate the site of the community hall where Saudi-led warplanes struck a funeral in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, October 9, 2016. “The coalition is aware of such reports and is certain that it is possible that other causes of bombing are to be considered. The coalition has in the past avoided such gatherings and
(they have) never been a subject of targets.” The Saudi-led coalition has been providing air support for Hadi’s forces in a civil war that has killed more than 10,000 people
since March 2015 and displaced more than three million. Fighting has intensified since August when U.N.-sponsored peace talks in Kuwait ended without an agreement. (rtr)

CALIFORNIA - Two police officers were shot and killed in the Southern California desert town of Palm Springs on Saturday after they were called to a family dispute and came under fire as they arrived on the scene, local police said. A third officer was wounded in the afternoon shooting, Police Chief Bryan Reyes told a news conference. Police closed off nearby blocks as they searched for a suspect on Saturday night. The officers who were killed were identified as Jose Vega, a 35-year veteran who was due to retire in December, and 27-year-old Lesley Zerebny, who had been an officer for about a year and a half and was the mother of a four-month-old baby. “I am awake in a nightmare right now,” Reyes told reporters. One witness said the suspect’s father told her his son expressed a desire to kill police just moments before the shooting, The Desert Sun newspaper reported. “He came over and asked for help,” Frances Serrano said of the father, who added that his son had mental issues, according to the newspaper.
Dozens of police rushed to the scene in a residential neighborhood of Palm Springs, a normally placid resort community about 100 miles east of Los Angeles. Police in tactical gear surrounded the home, with an armored assault vehicle stationed in front of the house. It was possible the suspect remained in the house or had escaped the area, Reyes said. Local media later showed robots being deployed in the area. Officers went to the home after a female caller said her son was causing a disturbance, Reyes said. The officers were outside trying to negotiate with the suspect when shooting began. “It was a simple family disturbance, and he elected to open fire on a few of the guardians of this city,” Reyes said. The wounded officer was alert and “doing well,” Reyes added. A neighbor, Juan Graciano, 67, said he heard angry shouting between a father and son who live at the residence before the father emerged from the home, crossed the street and asked another neighbor to call for help.

IMF members to push spending, revive trade to boost growth
WASHINGTON - The International Monetary Fund’s member countries on Saturday pledged to revive flagging global trade, boost government spending and remove barriers to business to fight weak growth that has left too many people behind.
The pledge came as world finance leaders fretted over a rising populist backlash against trade and globalization at the IMF and World Bank annual meetings in Washington. “The persistently low growth has exposed underlying structural weaknesses and risks further dampening potential growth and prospects for inclusiveness,” the Fund’s steering committee said in a communique. Britain’s vote in June to leave the European Union, U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s anti-trade rhetoric and a global slowdown in trade volumes have prompted policymakers to try do a better job selling the benefits of global economic integration to the general public. The International Monetary and Financial Committee said uncertainty and downside risks to the global recovery were elevated, and that it was increasingly threatened by protectionist policies and stalled reforms. “We reinforce our commitment to strong, sustainable, inclusive, job-rich and more balanced growth. We will use all policy tools - structural reforms, fiscal and monetary policies - both individually and collectively,” it said. The steering committee, made up of people who represent the fund’s 189 member countries, also included a pledge to “design and implement policies to address the concerns of those who have been left behind and to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to benefit from globalization and technological change.” IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde has been urging countries to do more to boost growth, spending more on infrastructure and education where possible and relying less on loose monetary policy that is already

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner speaks at a discussion “Are we Safer? The Case for Updating Bagehot” during the IMF/World Bank annual meetings in Washington, U.S., October 8, 2016. reached the limits of its influence. She also has sought more pro-market reforms in many countries “We certainly decided to come up more loudly on this occasion to say, ‘central bankers cannot be the only game in town,’” Lagarde told a news conference. “Let’s get on with it and see some action on the part of the other authorities as well.” The members repeated their pledge to refrain from competitive currency devaluations, to not target exchange rates for competitive purposes and to clearly communicate their policy stances.
“We will also redouble our commitment to maintain economic openness and reinvigorate global trade as a critical means to boost global growth.” In addition, the IMF panel said it would “intensify” efforts to deal with bad loans and other financial sector problems left over from the last financial crisis in some advanced countries. The pledge comes as questions over Deutsche Bank’s financial health also prompted considerable discussion around the talks. The IMF statement said that 26 member countries had pledged $360 billion in bilat-
eral financing that can be used to supplement the Fund’s normal lending resources. The members agreed with Lagarde’s proposal to delay the next review of the Fund’s “quota” shareholding system by about two years. They pledged to complete the review by no later than October 2019, compared with an original timetable for completion in 2017. The last quota review, completed in 2010 but only ratified by the U.S. Congress in late 2015, resulted in a greater share for China, Brazil and other major emerging market economies.(rtr)
Beijing says China to improve access for foreign companies
BEIJING - China’s State Council, or cabinet, said on Saturday the country is committed to improve access for foreign companies in China, as part of “a new round of high-level opening up”. According to a statement released on Saturday following a State Council meeting chaired by Premier Li Keqiang, the Chinese government will create an environment for fair competition for foreign
firms. “It’s important part of pushing forward a new round of high-level opening up,” the statement said. In the future, except for certain sensitive industries in which access for foreign companies is restricted, foreign investments would only require registration, rather than approval. The statement did not offer details on how the new system
would work. It also said the Chinese government would take further steps to improve market entry for foreign companies. The State Council’s statement comes at a time when the foreign business community in China has become highly critical of the current unbalanced access for foreign companies in China. Last month, a top European business lobby warned China
that it risked a protectionist backlash unless it opened its markets faster to foreign investment. Progress on China’s economic reforms has been “highly disappointing”, the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China said in an annual paper, released as China prepared to host leaders from the world’s biggest economies at last month’s G20 summit in Hangzhou.(rtr)
Retro games make a comeback in Indonesia
JAKARTA - An increasing number of Indonesians are taking a stand against digital games like Pokemon Go that they say erode values, and encouraging children to play traditional toys like wooden spinning tops and bamboo pinwheels. Tens of thousands of Indonesians were hooked on Nintendo’s augmented reality app, in which players hunt virtual characters in real-life places, months before the smash-hit game was officially launched in the Southeast Asian country. But parents and teachers worry that children get too caught up in the virtual world and are missing out on interacting with each other. Some parents are nostalgic about the games they used to play and want to introduce their children to them. Hundreds of parents and children attended a traditional games festival on a recent weekend at the Pilar Bangsa, or “pillar of the nation”, school in West Jakarta. A gaggle of children huddled around a wooden board, taking turns shooting marbles at goal posts made of rubber bands in a version of table soccer. Others were tying strings around tops and spinning them on a circular platform. “Traditional games involve more
activities, whereas electronic games only require kids to use their thumbs,” said Januar Surjadi, who was teaching his three-year-old boy to play with a bamboo toy that made a clicking sound when spun. Some games like “wayang”, or traditional puppets, and “congklak”, which requires players to collect as many “seeds” as possible in the holes of a wooden set, have been passed down through generations. Pilar Bangsa Principal Agustinus, who goes by one name, said his school would organise more events to introduce kids to traditional games. “We want to show the unique features of Indonesia, that it has a rich culture.” His school is not the only one. Educa-
tion ministry official Essi Hermaliza said authorities aimed to instill old values in students through traditional games across the country. The mayor of the city of Bogor has renovated a park and equipped it with wooden stilts and other toys to “help children avoid Pokemon Go”, media reported recently. Traditional toys are often cheap some sell for a dollar or less - but even so present an opportunity for businessmen like Fahrudin, who gets toys made in villages and sells them online. “The response from consumers has been positive and there’s still a lot of demand,” he said at his warehouse near Jakarta, where workers were packaging toys for delivery. For children like Michelle Miranda, 13, traditional toys won’t replace her electronic gadget, but they are still fun. “I’m getting a little bored of Pokemon Go because it’s harder to find the rarer Pokemons,” she said. “I play congklak at home with my friends, it’s fun and it helps to teach mental arithmetic.”(rtr)

Rescuers seek eight missing students in Bengawan Solo River
BOJONEGORO - The Search and Rescue Team of Tuban District, East Java, is searching for eight students who went missing on Bengawan Solo River after their boat capsized on Friday. Head of Emergency Response and Logistics of Regional Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD) of Tuban Asep said here, Friday, that the eight students were among 25 students who were on board the boat. The students departed from their school, an Islamic boarding school in Langitan Wadang, Tuban, to visit Babat Market, located in neighboring Lamongan District, by boat, intending to cruise along Javas longest river. “The boat capsized during the trip from the Islamic boarding school to Babat Market. It might have been caused by overloading,” Asep suggested. Seventeen students managed to escape the strong current of Bengawan Solo River, while the other eight are still missing. The BPBD of Tuban is conducting a search operation assisted by the search and rescue team and locals. The eight missing students have been identified as Ahmad Umar (12), Abdullah Umar (15), M Barikli Amri (12), M. Lujianidani (13), M. Muksin (16), Khabib Rizki (15), Mambrur (18), and Afiq Fadhil (19).(ant)
PLN promotes electricity in Indonesia, Timor Leste border areas KUPANG - The National Electricity Company (PLN) in the East Nusa Tenggara region is promoting the construction of power related infrastructure in three border areas of Indonesia and Timor Leste. “These locations are Motaain dan Motamasin in Belu district and Wini in North Timor Tengah district,” the General Manager of PLN in the East Nusa Tenggara region, Richard Safkaur, said here on Friday. He added that the PLN has surveyed the three locations. “We are ready to connect Motaain to electricity supply system. The president is scheduled to visit the region this month,” Richard added. According to him, the construction of the electricity network, providing 240 kilovolt ampere (kVa), will be completed by the second week of October 2016. Meanwhile, the electricity project in Motamasin is estimated to be completed by the second week of November 2016 and will supply 555 kVa of power. Richard said these three locations along the countrys area directly bordering Timor Leste. The PLN is always keen to promote electricity construction to boost national development, and this must start from the border area.(ant)

Pressure on Trump likely to be intense at second debate with Clinton
WASHINGTON - U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, facing eroding support from his party over lewd remarks about women, goes into a second presidential debate with Democrat Hillary Clinton on Sunday needing to demonstrate he remains a credible candidate. The pressure on the 70-year-old Trump at the debate will be intense. Not only must he parry attacks from Clinton and explain why he is a better alternative. He must also show an apologetic side to stop more Republican supporters from giving up on him. Trump already had an uphill battle to win the White House in the Nov. 8 election before disclosure of a 2005 video in which he could be heard talking crudely about women. A Reuters-Ipsos poll had Clinton leading by five points on Friday, before the video surfaced. Now, the question is whether Trump’s quest for the presidency is all but over. The fresh controversy adds an air of unpredictability over the 9 p.m. EDT debate at Washington University in St. Louis, the second of three scheduled presidential debates as the long-running U.S. election contest enters its final weeks. It will be a town hall-style de-
bate with undecided voters posing half the questions and the debate’s two moderators posing the others. His vice presidential running mate, Mike Pence, said on Sunday that Trump needs to show contrition. “We pray for his family and look forward to the opportunity to show what is in his heart when he goes before the nation tomorrow night,” Pence said in a statement. The crisis has put the Republican National Committee in a tight spot with less than a month to go until Election Day. Trump would have to resign the nomination to allow Republican leaders to choose a successor, but the New York bus ines s man is s how ing no signs of stepping down despite increasing calls from elected leaders for him to let Pence become the nominee. “The media and establishment want me out of the race so badly I WILL NEVER DROP OUT OF
THE RACE, WILL NEVER LET MY SUPPORTERS DOWN!” Trump tweeted on Sunday from Trump Tower in New York. At the first debate, on Sept. 26, Trump was repeatedly put on the defensive by Clinton. He never let her accusations go unanswered, and as a result he missed opportunities to use his speaking time to draw attention to Clinton’s perceived weaknesses. Republicans said Trump needed to perform more like Pence, who was deemed the winner in his vice presidential debate against Democratic rival Tim Kaine last week. Republican strategist Ron Bonjean said there is plenty Trump could learn from Pence, who stayed on offense at the vice-presidential debate, did not bother to respond to Kaine’s accusations, and looked calm and unflappable. “It was a clear lesson in how you avoid falling into your opponent’s traps,” Bonjean said. “Don’t talk about what the other side wants you to talk about, focus on what you want to talk about.” Clinton has been hunkered down for days getting ready for what could be, for her, a knockout blow against Trump.

Floods, power outages as weakened Matthew hits North Carolina, Virginia
CHARLESTON - Matthew was downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone on Sunday as it struck North Carolina and Virginia with a diminished yet still potent punch, causing flooding and widespread power outages along the U.S. Atlantic coast after killing hundreds in Haiti. The most powerful Atlantic storm since 2007 unleashed torrential rains and powerful winds as it churned slowly north after pummeling the southeastern coast of the United States, killing at least 11 people in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina since Thursday and leaving more than two million businesses and homes without power. Damage in the United States, however, was much less than in Haiti, where Matthew took nearly 900 lives. At least 13 people on the Caribbean island have also died from outbreaks of cholera since the storm, and around 61,500 people were in shelters, officials said. Matthew continued to threaten coastal communities in North Carolina and Virginia, where flash flood warnings were in effect and gusts of 75 miles per hour (120 kph) were recorded. “The wind is bending the trees to a 90 degree angle in my backyard, I’ve lost electrical power in my home and the rain is blowing sideways,” Frank Gianinni, a 59year-old occupational therapist, said in an email from his home in Wilmington, North Carolina. Forecasters said widespread flooding was possible from heavy rain - 20 inches (50 cm) was expected to fall in some areas - along
with storm surges and high tides. “We are looking at very significant flooding. Almost every road in the city is impassable,” Virginia Beach spokeswoman Erin Sutton told the Weather Channel from the city of almost 500,000 people between Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Media showed footage from across the region of motorists and passengers sitting and standing on vehicles stuck in rushing flood waters as crews used swift water boats to rescue the stranded. In Cumberland County, North Carolina alone, more than 500 people were rescued by crews, the Weather Channel reported. At 5:00 a.m. EST (0900 GMT) on Sunday, the storm was about 50 miles (80 km) east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said in an advisory. The center of the storm was set to move south of the North Carolina coast early on Sunday and well east of the state later in the day as it weakens. Matthew, which days ago briefly topped out as a ferocious Category 5 storm, made U.S. landfall on Saturday near McClellanville, South Carolina, a village 30 miles (48 km) north of Charleston that was devastated by a Category 4 hurricane in 1989. The storm was blamed for at least 11 deaths in the United States - five in Florida, three in North Carolina and three in Georgia. More than 2 million households and businesses were without power, most in Florida and South Carolina. (rtr)

Rosberg extends lead with dominant Japan win
SUZUKA - Nico Rosberg tightened his grip on the Formula One title race with a dominant victory at the Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday, the German’s first win at Suzuka also helping Mercedes claim a third consecutive constructors’ crown.
Rosberg, who started on pole, was never seriously threatened and crossed the line 4.9 seconds clear of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who fended off a late-charging Lewis Hamilton after the Briton recovered from a woeful start to finish third. Rosberg extended his lead over Hamilton to 33 points in the overall standings following his ninth win of the season and with four rounds remaining, the 31-year-old can claim a maiden title without needing to win another race. The win was also the 15th of 17 races for Mercedes this season and confirmed three years of dominance, during which time the German outfit has won 47 of 55 races. “It’s been an awesome weekend for sure, the whole weekend had gone great from the word go,” Rosberg, who led every session at Suzuka, told reporters. “Congrats to all my colleagues in the team, for clinching a third constructors’ world title. “Definitely, it’s been an unbelievable effort all these years, so let’s celebrate hard,” added Rosberg, who becomes only the fifth driver in Formula One history to win nine races in a season. Hamilton went into the race searching for a Suzuka hat-trick to revive his flagging championship prospects after being forced to retire from the lead at the last race in Malaysia but his chances of victory were dashed within a matter of seconds. The Briton was unable to capitalise on his front-row start as he crawled off the line and found himself languishing down in eighth place by the time he reached Turn One as his Mercedes team mate disappeared over the horizon.

Kebo Edan Temple GIANYAR - Another temple in Pejeng is Kebo Edan Temple, possesses the statue of a standing giant 3.60 m tall. He is called Kebo Edan, the Mad One. The figure has a huge penis with four “penis pins” pierced through it right under the glens. The use of such pins to increase a woman’s sexual pleasure is an old custom known throughout Southeast Asia. The giant stands in a dancing position and tramples a human figure, its face covered with something which may be a mask, as it is tied with ribbons at the back. The figure may represent a demonic manifestation of Siwa as a dancer. There is another statue representing a fat, crouching demon holding a big skull upside down in front of his chest the demon is wearing
a diadem decorated with small skulls on his curly hair. The style of these statues points to the 13th-14th century. Kebo Edan Temple is near Goa Gajah in the east of Ubud suburbs. It is said that this temple was built by Javanese in about the 12th century. It became a war with king Java and king Bali, and Bali was defeated in 1346. After war, king Kertanegara in Java wanted to teach Islam ceremony Koran “Siwa Bhairawa” to the people in Bali. And, the king Kertanegara ordered minister’s Kebo Paruk who did buffalo’s appearance to teach it to people. There are two kinds of teaching Siwa Bhairawa. It is “Niwerti” of teaching good thing, and “Purawerti” of teaching bad thing. To teach people only Purawerti,
the king Kertanegara urged it on him. Because he wanted to teach only Purawerti, and to increase the number of vassals in Bali. However, it was not accepted by people in Bali. The number of a lot of believers who were has decreased fast first. Afterwards, it is a temple of Hinduism now though became a Buddhism temple. Kebo means “buffalo” in a Bali language, and Edan means “It goes mad” in an Indonesian language. It is an unusual temple where two languages were used. Kebo Edan Temple has the statue of danced Pejeng Giant with four penises. And, two buffaloes’ statues sit on the both sides. The feature of the statue has four penises, twines round one of feet the snake, and the other foot tramples the person. (IBP/net)

Michael Bisping of England (Left) and Dan Henderson of the USA (Right).
LONDON - Middleweight champion Michael Bisping finally avenged the most devastating loss of his career by claiming a close decision victory over Dan Henderson in a thrilling title fight at UFC 204 in Manchester on Saturday. Hometown favourite Bisping finished the brutal five-round battle with his face swollen and bloodied after he flirted with disaster against his veteran American opponent before finally retaining the belt thanks to the judges scorecards. The 37-year-old won the title in sensational fashion in June, stepping up to fight Luke Rockhold at short notice at UFC 199 and knocking him out in the opening round to become the first British UFC champion. He immediately called out the 46-yearold Henderson, who knocked him out in 2009 in what he called “the worst knockout in UFC history”, and despite his plans to retire, the former Olympic wrestler duly obliged. The fighters entered the octagon at 4:30 a.m. (0330 GMT) to cater for the American pay per view audience and after a cagey start, the fight exploded into life late in the first round.
Henderson floored Bisping with a thundering right hand but despite the American piling on the punishment, the champion was able to survive until the end of the round. Bisping ignored the blood streaming down his face and started the second by landing some stinging shots of his own, but with a little more than a minute to go, Henderson uncorked another right hand to floor the champion for a second time. Once again, Bisping held on grimly to the end of the round and with Henderson breathing heavily, the Briton bounced back to take the third round. Both men had their chances in the fourth and fifth rounds, but Bisping just about did enough to shade it on the scorecards. “This guy is incredible. At his age, he just kicked my ass. You’ve got to respect the guy he’s a legend,” a gracious but battered Bisping said in a post-bout interview after the decision was announced. For Henderson it was to be his last professional fight and while he will be remembered as a UFC great, he goes into retirement without ever having won a belt in mixed martial arts’ largest and most prestigious circuit.

Sp rt Southgate steadies England after latest turbulent chapter
LONDON — Just like a month ago, a new England managerial era opened with a win on Saturday. In World Cup qualifying, it’s two wins out of two — with two different managers. Gareth Southgate will be hoping to last longer than speedily dismissed predecessor Sam Allardyce’s 67 days. There’s no certainty. Far from it. The 2-0 victory over Malta on Saturday was the first of only four games Southgate knows he could have to transform perceptions of international football’s most scrutinized, yet underwhelming and ridiculed teams. Every moment patrolling the touchline, reconfiguring his tactics and explaining his decisions in public, the 46-year-old caretaker coach is being judged by the Football Association. The unassuming victory over Malta was very much in the mold of England’s new, placid manager whose character contrasts sharply with the brash and boastful Allardyce. The opponents were unambitious but so was England with a performance lacking dynamism and urgency once the lead had been established in the first half by Daniel Sturridge’s header from Jordan Henderson’s cross, and Dele Alli’s strike. “There’s certainly room for improvement but that’s not a bad place for us to be,” Southgate said. “In the second half subconsciously there was a feeling the game was won and they were looking forward towards Tuesday (against Slovenia), physically. The players might be preserving
their energy. But Southgate, who played at three tournaments with England, has to seize every moment if he is to lead the team into the 2018 World Cup in Russia. By next month, after more demanding on-field assignments against Slovenia, Scotland, and Spain, Southgate could be returning to the under-21s team after just 49 days with the senior side if results don’t go his way, or if a more experienced coach is desired. “I would have liked us to have won by the bigger scoreline,” Southgate said. “I want my teams to attack and I want them to play very good football. At times, some of the flicks and things didn’t come off. “You are playing against a 5-4-1 that limits the space and maybe we tried some passes which were too difficult at times.” Southgate was also diplomatic. As interim coach, he can’t afford to lose the dressing room. “I’m not going to be critical of the players,” he said. “They’ve had to pick up from two changes of managers and a complete change from the way we have worked.” The first change followed the embarrassment of the European Championship in June when Eng-
land was eliminated by Iceland and Roy Hodgson’s hopes of a new contract ended. In came the fierce patriot whose pride at landing the job of a lifetime was not matched by his awareness of the responsibilities of holding the prestigious job. Before Allardyce had even taken charge of his first — and only game — in September against Slovakia, he had fallen for a newspaper sting. Once video emerged last week of Allardyce appearing to offer advice to fictitious businessmen on how to sidestep an outlawed player transfer practice, and also negotiating a 400,000 pound (about $500,000) public-speaking contract, the FA quickly parted company with him. It was the latest turbulent chapter for a country which hosts the world’s richest soccer league and has excessively high expectations for a national team whose one and only trophy came in the 1966 World Cup. And yet the fans still turn out to watch the team, even when modest, unappealing opposition come to Wembley. Southgate’s England managerial debut was watched by more than 80,000 in the north London stadium. “Given the situation I picked up about 12 days ago, we’ve internally come a hell of a long way,” said Southgate, whose only previous senior management job was with Middlesbrough from 2006 to 2009.

Mbokani double sees Congolese to easy win
JOHANNESBURG - Dieumerci Mbokani scored twice as the Democratic Republic of Congo made an emphatic start to the group phase of Africa’s World Cup qualifiers with a 4-0 thumping of Libya while both the Ivory Coast and Senegal also emerged victorious on Saturday. There were also potentially important away points collected by Morocco and South Africa on the opening weekend of games in the five groups, from which the winners go on to compete at the 2018 finals in Russia. Striker Mbokani, recently signed by Hull City, netted after just six minutes to set the tone in Kinshasa with Jonathan Bolingi and Ndombe Mubele adding goals in a one-sided performance that could have ended with a even more convincing winning margin had the hosts taken all their chances. Gervinho hammered home a left footed cracker for the Ivory Coast as they came from a goal down to beat Mali 3-1 in Bouake. Sambou Yatabare scored to give Mali an 18th minute lead in the Group C clash but it lasted only eight minutes before Jonathan Kodjia equalised with an effort from outside the penalty area. A horror own goal from Salif Coulibaly meant the African cham-
pions went 2-1 up just after the half hour mark before Gervinho’s superb finish gave the Ivorians a twogoal advantage at half-time. There were no more goals in the second half of an entertaining derby clash. Morocco drew 0-0 away in Gabon in the other Group C clash. Lazio striker Balde Diao Keita struck in the first half and substitute Moussa Sow in the 80th minute as Senegal went top of Group D with an uninspiring 2-0 home win over the Cape Verde Islands in Dakar. In the same group, Burkina Faso scrambled a stoppage time equaliser in a 1-1 draw with South Africa in Ouagadougou after squandering two penalties. South Africa goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune saved the first from Jonathan Pitroipa in the 10th minute and watched as the second from Alain Traore, three minutes from time, was blasted way over the top. South Africa had taken an 80th minute lead through midfielder Dean Furman and will be kicking themselves they let a potential away victory slip away right near the end with some poor defending. Four more qualifiers will be played on Sunday including a first group game for heavyweights Algeria, Cameroon, Egypt and Nigeria. (rtr)
WARSAW - A hat-trick by deadly finisher Robert Lewandowski lifted Poland to a 3-2 victory over Denmark in a thrilling World Cup Group E qualifier on Saturday. A packed 56,000 crowd at the National Stadium in Warsaw saw the home team go in front in the 20th minute when Kamil Grosicki delivered a cross and Lewandowski scored from close range. Poland kept attacking, mainly down the wings, and Lewandowski made it 2-0 with a penalty nine minutes before halftime. Full back Jannik Vestergaard brought down Arek Milik six metres out and Lewandowski sent keeper Kasper Schmeichel the wrong way from the spot. The Bayern Munich marksm a n ’s t h i r d g o a l came at the start of the second half when he pounced on an error by Ve s t e rg a a r d a n d powered half the length of the field before slotting the
ball beyond Schmeichel. Denmark pulled one back in the 49th minute as Poland’s Kamil Glik turned the ball past his own keeper, Lukasz Fabianski. The visitors then suddenly started to dominate possession and it was no surprise when lively substitute Yussuf Poulsen netted in the 69th minute. However, with playmaker Christian Eriksen tightly marked by Poland’s defenders, Denmark were unable to draw level. Poland are joint top of the group, alongside Montenegro and Romania, with four points from two matches. The Danes are fourth on three points. Lewandowski has now scored hat-tricks in three competitions this season, having also landed a treble in the Bundesliga and German Cup. He has netted in each of his last seven World Cup/European Championship qualifiers, bagging 11 goals in total in those matches. (ap)

Mueller grabs another double in easy Germany win
HAMBURG - Thomas Mueller scored twice for the second World Cup qualifier in a row to lead dominant Germany to a comprehensive 3-0 win over Czech Republic on Saturday. Toni Kroos was also on target to leave the world champions on six points from two games in Group C, alongside Azerbaijan after they beat Norway 1-0 in Baku with an early goal by Maksim Medvedev, and firmly on course for the finals in Russia in 2018. The Czechs, who have one point, won 3-0 on their last visit to Germany in 2007 in the early days of coach Joachim Loew’s long reign but never threatened a repeat. “I’m very satisfied, we had control of the game for the whole time,” said Loew. “We built up our moves very well from the back. We put together some great combinations and didn’t give our opponents any chance.” Germany broke the deadlock after 13 minutes when Mario Goetze burst down the left, his pass into the area was touched on by Mesut Ozil and Mueller scored with a shot which took a slight deflection off a defender. Germany, who beat Norway by the same score in their opening qualifier last month, continued to carve open the Czech defence with neat interchanges between Mueller, Ozil, Julian Draxler and Goetze who was playing as a false number nine. Draxler pinged a shot just wide after Goetze pulled the ball back to him, Mueller saw a low drive turned away by Czech goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik, then Goetze dinked the ball wide after a one-two with Mueller. Kroos doubled Germany’s lead four minutes after the restart when he got in front of his marker and placed a sidefooted shot past Vaclik after Joshua Kimmich rolled the ball across the edge of the area. Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer made his first save in the 63rd minute when he parried
Borek Dockal’s powerful effort and the home team struck again two minutes later, Mueller turning in Jonas Hector’s low cross at the
near post. “We could have scored more goals, we have played a very convincing game,” said Mueller. “I’m

Sp rt Southgate steadies England after latest turbulent chapter
LONDON — Just like a month ago, a new England managerial era opened with a win on Saturday. In World Cup qualifying, it’s two wins out of two — with two different managers. Gareth Southgate will be hoping to last longer than speedily dismissed predecessor Sam Allardyce’s 67 days. There’s no certainty. Far from it. The 2-0 victory over Malta on Saturday was the first of only four games Southgate knows he could have to transform perceptions of international football’s most scrutinized, yet underwhelming and ridiculed teams. Every moment patrolling the touchline, reconfiguring his tactics and explaining his decisions in public, the 46-year-old caretaker coach is being judged by the Football Association. The unassuming victory over Malta was very much in the mold of England’s new, placid manager whose character contrasts sharply with the brash and boastful Allardyce. The opponents were unambitious but so was England with a performance lacking dynamism and urgency once the lead had been established in the first half by Daniel Sturridge’s header from Jordan Henderson’s cross, and Dele Alli’s strike. “There’s certainly room for improvement but that’s not a bad place for us to be,” Southgate said. “In the second half subconsciously there was a feeling the game was won and they were looking forward towards Tuesday (against Slovenia), physically. The players might be preserving
their energy. But Southgate, who played at three tournaments with England, has to seize every moment if he is to lead the team into the 2018 World Cup in Russia. By next month, after more demanding on-field assignments against Slovenia, Scotland, and Spain, Southgate could be returning to the under-21s team after just 49 days with the senior side if results don’t go his way, or if a more experienced coach is desired. “I would have liked us to have won by the bigger scoreline,” Southgate said. “I want my teams to attack and I want them to play very good football. At times, some of the flicks and things didn’t come off. “You are playing against a 5-4-1 that limits the space and maybe we tried some passes which were too difficult at times.” Southgate was also diplomatic. As interim coach, he can’t afford to lose the dressing room. “I’m not going to be critical of the players,” he said. “They’ve had to pick up from two changes of managers and a complete change from the way we have worked.” The first change followed the embarrassment of the European Championship in June when Eng-
land was eliminated by Iceland and Roy Hodgson’s hopes of a new contract ended. In came the fierce patriot whose pride at landing the job of a lifetime was not matched by his awareness of the responsibilities of holding the prestigious job. Before Allardyce had even taken charge of his first — and only game — in September against Slovakia, he had fallen for a newspaper sting. Once video emerged last week of Allardyce appearing to offer advice to fictitious businessmen on how to sidestep an outlawed player transfer practice, and also negotiating a 400,000 pound (about $500,000) public-speaking contract, the FA quickly parted company with him. It was the latest turbulent chapter for a country which hosts the world’s richest soccer league and has excessively high expectations for a national team whose one and only trophy came in the 1966 World Cup. And yet the fans still turn out to watch the team, even when modest, unappealing opposition come to Wembley. Southgate’s England managerial debut was watched by more than 80,000 in the north London stadium. “Given the situation I picked up about 12 days ago, we’ve internally come a hell of a long way,” said Southgate, whose only previous senior management job was with Middlesbrough from 2006 to 2009.

Mbokani double sees Congolese to easy win
JOHANNESBURG - Dieumerci Mbokani scored twice as the Democratic Republic of Congo made an emphatic start to the group phase of Africa’s World Cup qualifiers with a 4-0 thumping of Libya while both the Ivory Coast and Senegal also emerged victorious on Saturday. There were also potentially important away points collected by Morocco and South Africa on the opening weekend of games in the five groups, from which the winners go on to compete at the 2018 finals in Russia.

Rosberg extends lead with dominant Japan win
SUZUKA - Nico Rosberg tightened his grip on the Formula One title race with a dominant victory at the Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday, the German’s first win at Suzuka also helping Mercedes claim a third consecutive constructors’ crown.
Rosberg, who started on pole, was never seriously threatened and crossed the line 4.9 seconds clear of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who fended off a late-charging Lewis Hamilton after the Briton recovered from a woeful start to finish third. Rosberg extended his lead over Hamilton to 33 points in the overall standings following his ninth win of the season and with four rounds remaining, the 31-year-old can claim a maiden title without needing to win another race. The win was also the 15th of 17 races for Mercedes this season and confirmed three years of dominance, during which time the German outfit has won 47 of 55 races. “It’s been an awesome weekend for sure, the whole weekend had gone great from the word go,” Rosberg, who led every session at Suzuka, told reporters. “Congrats to all my colleagues in the team, for clinching a third constructors’ world title. “Definitely, it’s been an unbelievable effort all these years, so let’s celebrate hard,” added Rosberg, who becomes only the fifth driver in Formula One history to win nine races in a season. Hamilton went into the race searching for a Suzuka hat-trick to revive his flagging championship prospects after being forced to retire from the lead at the last race in Malaysia but his chances of victory were dashed within a matter of seconds. The Briton was unable to capitalise on his front-row start as he crawled off the line and found himself languishing down in eighth place by the time he reached Turn One as his Mercedes team mate disappeared over the horizon.

Kebo Edan Temple GIANYAR - Another temple in Pejeng is Kebo Edan Temple, possesses the statue of a standing giant 3.60 m tall. He is called Kebo Edan, the Mad One. The figure has a huge penis with four “penis pins” pierced through it right under the glens. The use of such pins to increase a woman’s sexual pleasure is an old custom known throughout Southeast Asia. The giant stands in a dancing position and tramples a human figure, its face covered with something which may be a mask, as it is tied with ribbons at the back. The figure may represent a demonic manifestation of Siwa as a dancer. There is another statue representing a fat, crouching demon holding a big skull upside down in front of his chest the demon is wearing
a diadem decorated with small skulls on his curly hair. The style of these statues points to the 13th-14th century. Kebo Edan Temple is near Goa Gajah in the east of Ubud suburbs. It is said that this temple was built by Javanese in about the 12th century. It became a war with king Java and king Bali, and Bali was defeated in 1346. After war, king Kertanegara in Java wanted to teach Islam ceremony Koran “Siwa Bhairawa” to the people in Bali. And, the king Kertanegara ordered minister’s Kebo Paruk who did buffalo’s appearance to teach it to people. There are two kinds of teaching Siwa Bhairawa. It is “Niwerti” of teaching good thing, and “Purawerti” of teaching bad thing. To teach people only Purawerti,
the king Kertanegara urged it on him. Because he wanted to teach only Purawerti, and to increase the number of vassals in Bali. However, it was not accepted by people in Bali. The number of a lot of believers who were has decreased fast first. Afterwards, it is a temple of Hinduism now though became a Buddhism temple. Kebo means “buffalo” in a Bali language, and Edan means “It goes mad” in an Indonesian language. It is an unusual temple where two languages were used. Kebo Edan Temple has the statue of danced Pejeng Giant with four penises. And, two buffaloes’ statues sit on the both sides. The feature of the statue has four penises, twines round one of feet the snake, and the other foot tramples the person. (IBP/net)

Michael Bisping of England (Left) and Dan Henderson of the USA (Right).
LONDON - Middleweight champion Michael Bisping finally avenged the most devastating loss of his career by claiming a close decision victory over Dan Henderson in a thrilling title fight at UFC 204 in Manchester on Saturday. Hometown favourite Bisping finished the brutal five-round battle with his face swollen and bloodied after he flirted with disaster against his veteran American opponent before finally retaining the belt thanks to the judges scorecards. The 37-year-old won the title in sensational fashion in June, stepping up to fight Luke Rockhold at short notice at UFC 199 and knocking him out in the opening round to become the first British UFC champion. He immediately called out the 46-yearold Henderson, who knocked him out in 2009 in what he called “the worst knockout in UFC history”, and despite his plans to retire, the former Olympic wrestler duly obliged. The fighters entered the octagon at 4:30 a.m. (0330 GMT) to cater for the American pay per view audience and after a cagey start, the fight exploded into life late in the first round.
Henderson floored Bisping with a thundering right hand but despite the American piling on the punishment, the champion was able to survive until the end of the round. Bisping ignored the blood streaming down his face and started the second by landing some stinging shots of his own, but with a little more than a minute to go, Henderson uncorked another right hand to floor the champion for a second time. Once again, Bisping held on grimly to the end of the round and with Henderson breathing heavily, the Briton bounced back to take the third round. Both men had their chances in the fourth and fifth rounds, but Bisping just about did enough to shade it on the scorecards. “This guy is incredible. At his age, he just kicked my ass. You’ve got to respect the guy he’s a legend,” a gracious but battered Bisping said in a post-bout interview after the decision was announced. For Henderson it was to be his last professional fight and while he will be remembered as a UFC great, he goes into retirement without ever having won a belt in mixed martial arts’ largest and most prestigious circuit.

Pressure on Trump likely to be intense at second debate with Clinton
WASHINGTON - U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, facing eroding support from his party over lewd remarks about women, goes into a second presidential debate with Democrat Hillary Clinton on Sunday needing to demonstrate he remains a credible candidate. The pressure on the 70-year-old Trump at the debate will be intense. Not only must he parry attacks from Clinton and explain why he is a better alternative. He must also show an apologetic side to stop more Republican supporters from giving up on him. Trump already had an uphill battle to win the White House in the Nov. 8 election before disclosure of a 2005 video in which he could be heard talking crudely about women. A Reuters-Ipsos poll had Clinton leading by five points on Friday, before the video surfaced. Now, the question is whether Trump’s quest for the presidency is all but over. The fresh controversy adds an air of unpredictability over the 9 p.m. EDT debate at Washington University in St. Louis, the second of three scheduled presidential debates as the long-running U.S. election contest enters its final weeks. It will be a town hall-style de-
bate with undecided voters posing half the questions and the debate’s two moderators posing the others. His vice presidential running mate, Mike Pence, said on Sunday that Trump needs to show contrition. “We pray for his family and look forward to the opportunity to show what is in his heart when he goes before the nation tomorrow night,” Pence said in a statement. The crisis has put the Republican National Committee in a tight spot with less than a month to go until Election Day. Trump would have to resign the nomination to allow Republican leaders to choose a successor, but the New York bus ines s man is s how ing no signs of stepping down despite increasing calls from elected leaders for him to let Pence become the nominee. “The media and establishment want me out of the race so badly I WILL NEVER DROP OUT OF
THE RACE, WILL NEVER LET MY SUPPORTERS DOWN!” Trump tweeted on Sunday from Trump Tower in New York. At the first debate, on Sept. 26, Trump was repeatedly put on the defensive by Clinton. He never let her accusations go unanswered, and as a result he missed opportunities to use his speaking time to draw attention to Clinton’s perceived weaknesses. Republicans said Trump needed to perform more like Pence, who was deemed the winner in his vice presidential debate against Democratic rival Tim Kaine last week. Republican strategist Ron Bonjean said there is plenty Trump could learn from Pence, who stayed on offense at the vice-presidential debate, did not bother to respond to Kaine’s accusations, and looked calm and unflappable. “It was a clear lesson in how you avoid falling into your opponent’s traps,” Bonjean said. “Don’t talk about what the other side wants you to talk about, focus on what you want to talk about.” Clinton has been hunkered down for days getting ready for what could be, for her, a knockout blow against Trump.

Floods, power outages as weakened Matthew hits North Carolina, Virginia
CHARLESTON - Matthew was downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone on Sunday as it struck North Carolina and Virginia with a diminished yet still potent punch, causing flooding and widespread power outages along the U.S. Atlantic coast after killing hundreds in Haiti. The most powerful Atlantic storm since 2007 unleashed torrential rains and powerful winds as it churned slowly north after pummeling the southeastern coast of the United States, killing at least 11 people in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina since Thursday and leaving more than two million businesses and homes without power. Damage in the United States, however, was much less than in Haiti, where Matthew took nearly 900 lives. At least 13 people on the Caribbean island have also died from outbreaks of cholera since the storm, and around 61,500 people were in shelters, officials said. Matthew continued to threaten coastal communities in North Carolina and Virginia, where flash flood warnings were in effect and gusts of 75 miles per hour (120 kph) were recorded. “The wind is bending the trees to a 90 degree angle in my backyard, I’ve lost electrical power in my home and the rain is blowing sideways,” Frank Gianinni, a 59year-old occupational therapist, said in an email from his home in Wilmington, North Carolina. Forecasters said widespread flooding was possible from heavy rain - 20 inches (50 cm) was expected to fall in some areas - along
with storm surges and high tides. “We are looking at very significant flooding. Almost every road in the city is impassable,” Virginia Beach spokeswoman Erin Sutton told the Weather Channel from the city of almost 500,000 people between Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Media showed footage from across the region of motorists and passengers sitting and standing on vehicles stuck in rushing flood waters as crews used swift water boats to rescue the stranded. In Cumberland County, North Carolina alone, more than 500 people were rescued by crews, the Weather Channel reported. At 5:00 a.m. EST (0900 GMT) on Sunday, the storm was about 50 miles (80 km) east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said in an advisory. The center of the storm was set to move south of the North Carolina coast early on Sunday and well east of the state later in the day as it weakens. Matthew, which days ago briefly topped out as a ferocious Category 5 storm, made U.S. landfall on Saturday near McClellanville, South Carolina, a village 30 miles (48 km) north of Charleston that was devastated by a Category 4 hurricane in 1989. The storm was blamed for at least 11 deaths in the United States - five in Florida, three in North Carolina and three in Georgia. More than 2 million households and businesses were without power, most in Florida and South Carolina. (rtr)

IMF members to push spending, revive trade to boost growth
WASHINGTON - The International Monetary Fund’s member countries on Saturday pledged to revive flagging global trade, boost government spending and remove barriers to business to fight weak growth that has left too many people behind.
The pledge came as world finance leaders fretted over a rising populist backlash against trade and globalization at the IMF and World Bank annual meetings in Washington. “The persistently low growth has exposed underlying structural weaknesses and risks further dampening potential growth and prospects for inclusiveness,” the Fund’s steering committee said in a communique. Britain’s vote in June to leave the European Union, U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s anti-trade rhetoric and a global slowdown in trade volumes have prompted policymakers to try do a better job selling the benefits of global economic integration to the general public. The International Monetary and Financial Committee said uncertainty and downside risks to the global recovery were elevated, and that it was increasingly threatened by protectionist policies and stalled reforms. “We reinforce our commitment to strong, sustainable, inclusive, job-rich and more balanced growth. We will use all policy tools - structural reforms, fiscal and monetary policies - both individually and collectively,” it said. The steering committee, made up of people who represent the fund’s 189 member countries, also included a pledge to “design and implement policies to address the concerns of those who have been left behind and to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to benefit from globalization and technological change.” IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde has been urging countries to do more to boost growth, spending more on infrastructure and education where possible and relying less on loose monetary policy that is already

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner speaks at a discussion “Are we Safer? The Case for Updating Bagehot” during the IMF/World Bank annual meetings in Washington, U.S., October 8, 2016. reached the limits of its influence. She also has sought more pro-market reforms in many countries “We certainly decided to come up more loudly on this occasion to say, ‘central bankers cannot be the only game in town,’” Lagarde told a news conference. “Let’s get on with it and see some action on the part of the other authorities as well.” The members repeated their pledge to refrain from competitive currency devaluations, to not target exchange rates for competitive purposes and to clearly communicate their policy stances.
“We will also redouble our commitment to maintain economic openness and reinvigorate global trade as a critical means to boost global growth.” In addition, the IMF panel said it would “intensify” efforts to deal with bad loans and other financial sector problems left over from the last financial crisis in some advanced countries. The pledge comes as questions over Deutsche Bank’s financial health also prompted considerable discussion around the talks. The IMF statement said that 26 member countries had pledged $360 billion in bilat-
eral financing that can be used to supplement the Fund’s normal lending resources. The members agreed with Lagarde’s proposal to delay the next review of the Fund’s “quota” shareholding system by about two years. They pledged to complete the review by no later than October 2019, compared with an original timetable for completion in 2017. The last quota review, completed in 2010 but only ratified by the U.S. Congress in late 2015, resulted in a greater share for China, Brazil and other major emerging market economies.(rtr)
Beijing says China to improve access for foreign companies
BEIJING - China’s State Council, or cabinet, said on Saturday the country is committed to improve access for foreign companies in China, as part of “a new round of high-level opening up”. According to a statement released on Saturday following a State Council meeting chaired by Premier Li Keqiang, the Chinese government will create an environment for fair competition for foreign
firms. “It’s important part of pushing forward a new round of high-level opening up,” the statement said. In the future, except for certain sensitive industries in which access for foreign companies is restricted, foreign investments would only require registration, rather than approval. The statement did not offer details on how the new system
would work. It also said the Chinese government would take further steps to improve market entry for foreign companies. The State Council’s statement comes at a time when the foreign business community in China has become highly critical of the current unbalanced access for foreign companies in China. Last month, a top European business lobby warned China
that it risked a protectionist backlash unless it opened its markets faster to foreign investment. Progress on China’s economic reforms has been “highly disappointing”, the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China said in an annual paper, released as China prepared to host leaders from the world’s biggest economies at last month’s G20 summit in Hangzhou.(rtr)
Retro games make a comeback in Indonesia
JAKARTA - An increasing number of Indonesians are taking a stand against digital games like Pokemon Go that they say erode values, and encouraging children to play traditional toys like wooden spinning tops and bamboo pinwheels. Tens of thousands of Indonesians were hooked on Nintendo’s augmented reality app, in which players hunt virtual characters in real-life places, months before the smash-hit game was officially launched in the Southeast Asian country. But parents and teachers worry that children get too caught up in the virtual world and are missing out on interacting with each other. Some parents are nostalgic about the games they used to play and want to introduce their children to them. Hundreds of parents and children attended a traditional games festival on a recent weekend at the Pilar Bangsa, or “pillar of the nation”, school in West Jakarta. A gaggle of children huddled around a wooden board, taking turns shooting marbles at goal posts made of rubber bands in a version of table soccer. Others were tying strings around tops and spinning them on a circular platform. “Traditional games involve more
activities, whereas electronic games only require kids to use their thumbs,” said Januar Surjadi, who was teaching his three-year-old boy to play with a bamboo toy that made a clicking sound when spun. Some games like “wayang”, or traditional puppets, and “congklak”, which requires players to collect as many “seeds” as possible in the holes of a wooden set, have been passed down through generations. Pilar Bangsa Principal Agustinus, who goes by one name, said his school would organise more events to introduce kids to traditional games. “We want to show the unique features of Indonesia, that it has a rich culture.” His school is not the only one. Educa-
tion ministry official Essi Hermaliza said authorities aimed to instill old values in students through traditional games across the country. The mayor of the city of Bogor has renovated a park and equipped it with wooden stilts and other toys to “help children avoid Pokemon Go”, media reported recently. Traditional toys are often cheap some sell for a dollar or less - but even so present an opportunity for businessmen like Fahrudin, who gets toys made in villages and sells them online. “The response from consumers has been positive and there’s still a lot of demand,” he said at his warehouse near Jakarta, where workers were packaging toys for delivery. For children like Michelle Miranda, 13, traditional toys won’t replace her electronic gadget, but they are still fun. “I’m getting a little bored of Pokemon Go because it’s harder to find the rarer Pokemons,” she said. “I play congklak at home with my friends, it’s fun and it helps to teach mental arithmetic.”(rtr)

To overcome seed needs, production of farmers boosted
BANGLI - The desire of Bangli district to develop its own seeds, especially horticultural crops independently to meet the needs of farmers cannot have been realized. It happens because the problem of land availability. Responding to this, the production of seeds continues to be boosted through a number of farmers. The result is quite good, where they are not only able to meet the local needs, but some commodities have also penetrated into a number of regions in Indonesia. Acting Head of the Bangli Agriculture and Forestry Agency, Ni Wayan Manik, said the nursery should be supported with adequate land just like the fish breeding center. Environmental conditions must also support. Her agency realized that seed need these days tends to increase. Types of the plants needed by farmers are also more varied, ranging from onions, bamboo and coconut to tangerine. To meet this demand, it is made by the relying on the production of a number of breeders. For example, bamboo is more brought in from Landih village, Bangli and Bayunggede, Kintamani and so is tangerine. Then, coconut is cultivated by farmers at Lumbuan hamlet, Sulahan, Susut and rice at Subak Denan, Apuan (Susut) and Subak Teba,
Bunutin (Bangli). “Since there is no land, the seed nursery is carried out by farmers. This is continuously encouraged and nurtured, and they must be independent,” he said, Saturday (Oct. 8). She added that onion also becomes the leading agricultural commodity of Bangli. In order to boost production, the seed aid has also been disbursed. Likewise, the development of independent seed procurement continues to be carried out. “Onions are continuously cultivated. This has very good potential. Farmers can also make their own seeds,” he said. Quality of the seeds produced by farmers is quite superior. Due to such quality, the demand is not only coming from Bangli district, but also from a number of regions in Bali and beyond Bali. Lately, seed development can already become supporting income of farmers. “Other than intended to meet the needs in Bangli, the seed production has penetrated into various regions in Bali. Moreover, the bamboo seed has even been delivered to Kalimantan,” he concluded. (kmb45)

Jamie McGoldrick, a UN official in charge of humanitarian efforts in the country, said more than 525 were injured. The death toll was 82, according to Ghazi Ismail, the administration’s acting health minister. The reason for the discrepancy in numbers was not immediately clear. Ismail said the air strike occurred in the southern part of the city, where a wake was taking place for the father of the administration’s interior minister, Jalal al-Roweishan, who had died of natural causes on Friday. The death toll was one of the largest in any single incident since the Saudi-led alliance began military operations to try to restore President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi to power following his ousting by the Iran-aligned Houthis in March 2015. “The Saudi aggression committed a major crime today, by attacking a mourning hall for the al-Roweishan family, targeting
residents in the hall,” Ismail told a news conference in Sanaa. In a strongly worded rebuke, the White House said it may consider cutting its support to the Saudi-led military campaign. “U.S. security cooperation with Saudi Arabia is not a blank check,” said U.S. National Security Council spokesman Ned Price in a statement. “In light of this and other recent incidents, we have initiated an immediate review of our already significantly reduced support to the Saudi-led coalition and are prepared to adjust our support so as to better align with U.S. principles, values and interests, including achieving an immediate and durable end to Yemen’s tragic conflict.” Sources in the Saudi-led coalition said there was no Arab coalition air role in the strike. “Absolutely no such operation took place at that target,” one of the sources said, citing what he described as confirmation from the coalition air force command.

Forensic experts invistigate the site of the community hall where Saudi-led warplanes struck a funeral in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, October 9, 2016. “The coalition is aware of such reports and is certain that it is possible that other causes of bombing are to be considered. The coalition has in the past avoided such gatherings and
(they have) never been a subject of targets.” The Saudi-led coalition has been providing air support for Hadi’s forces in a civil war that has killed more than 10,000 people
since March 2015 and displaced more than three million. Fighting has intensified since August when U.N.-sponsored peace talks in Kuwait ended without an agreement. (rtr)
Two police officers killed in Palm Springs, California shooting
REUTERS/Sam Mircovich
Police officers from various agencies are shown at their command center during a standoff where three officers were shot by a suspect in Palm Springs, California, U.S. October 8, 2016.
CALIFORNIA - Two police officers were shot and killed in the Southern California desert town of Palm Springs on Saturday after they were called to a family dispute and came under fire as they arrived on the scene, local police said. A third officer was wounded in the afternoon shooting, Police Chief Bryan Reyes told a news conference. Police closed off nearby blocks as they searched for a suspect on Saturday night. The officers who were killed were identified as Jose Vega, a 35-year veteran who was due to retire in December, and 27-year-old Lesley Zerebny, who had been an officer for about a year and a half and was the mother of a four-month-old baby. “I am awake in a nightmare right now,” Reyes told reporters. One witness said the suspect’s father told her his son expressed a desire to kill police just moments before the shooting, The Desert Sun newspaper reported. “He came over and asked for help,” Frances Serrano said of the father, who added that his son had mental issues, according to the newspaper.
Dozens of police rushed to the scene in a residential neighborhood of Palm Springs, a normally placid resort community about 100 miles east of Los Angeles. Police in tactical gear surrounded the home, with an armored assault vehicle stationed in front of the house. It was possible the suspect remained in the house or had escaped the area, Reyes said. Local media later showed robots being deployed in the area. Officers went to the home after a female caller said her son was causing a disturbance, Reyes said. The officers were outside trying to negotiate with the suspect when shooting began. “It was a simple family disturbance, and he elected to open fire on a few of the guardians of this city,” Reyes said. The wounded officer was alert and “doing well,” Reyes added. A neighbor, Juan Graciano, 67, said he heard angry shouting between a father and son who live at the residence before the father emerged from the home, crossed the street and asked another neighbor to call for help.

Estonia’s wedge-shaped national museum opens on former Soviet airbase
TARTU - A 350-metre-long glass block ramps up from the runway of a former soviet airfield near the city of Tartu to form the Estonian National Museum, which officially opens to the public today (+ slideshow). Designed by Paris architecture office Dorell Ghotmeh Tane (DGT), the museum boasts a huge slanted roof that is designed as an extension of the old runway, located a few kilometres outside the city. DGT co-founders Lina Ghotmeh, Dan Dorell and Tsuyoshi Tane won a competition to design the museum in 2005 and first photographs of the building first emerged earlier this summer. But it officially opens to the public on 1 October 2016, following a press preview earlier this week. This new set of images show the museum and its landscaping just ahead of the opening. The 34,000-square-metre museum is the largest in the Baltic States. Its exhibitions chart Estonia’s history from the Stone Age to present day. “Designing a national museum for Estonia was an extraordinary challenge given the country’s many decades of tumultuous history, a history that is recent enough to still remain in the nation’s memory,” said the architects, referring to the country’s not-so-distant Soviet occupation. “The structure resembles a glass wedge inserted into the landscape that slowly reaches upward from the ground – a built allegory for the country’s emerging history,” they added. The facades are covered in a printed motif of an abstracted cornflower, Estonia’s national flower, giving the glazing a frosted appearance. A huge entrance is recessed into the tallest part of the building, which reaches 14 metres. Inside, gallery spaces, a conference hall, public library, auditoriums, educations rooms, offices and storage space for the museum’s collections are contained within a combination of glazed and opaque boxes. “The museum has waited for getting its real own home for 107 years and the cultural project to be completed now is the greatest in the history of independent Estonia in financial as well as spatial terms,” said the firm.

Though having been regulated, hazardous substances often abused
DENPASAR - Actually the distribution of hazardous substances frequently abused for food such as formalin, borax, rhodamine B and metanil yellow has been set up in the decree of the Minister of Industry and Trade No.24/2006 concerning the supervision against production and the use of hazardous substances to the industry. On the other hand, these substances are required. For instance, formalin is used to preserve corpses and used in lumber mills, while borax is anti-fungal used for soldering and textile dyes used to dye clothes. “In other words, their distribution has been regulated by an agency, but not by the BPOM,” said Endang Widowati, the Chief of the Denpasar Agency of Drug and Food Control (BBPOM) in Denpasar, recently. If these substances are not misused in the food, the BBPOM will not intervene in the supervision. Since it is widely abused in food, the BBPOM also participates in securing food. Lately the distribution of formalin is tightened and limited only to preserve corpses. Her agency also hoped that similar regulation is applied to distribution of the three other hazardous substances. “The others like dye have been tightened and set forth in the ministerial regulation in terms of use and packaging. However, there are still people abuse it,” she said. In this case, there is supply
and demand. On that account, the BBPOM has cut off the distribution chain from the consumer and producer side. In the inspection carried out recently, her agency still found rhodamine B in Balinese muffin (apem) and jaja uli at Nyanggelan Market, Panjer. Of the inspection and sampling test conducted, it was still found rhodamine B, but formalin has begun to decrease though still found. “Yesterday, we took shrimp paste sold in kilogram unit but it no longer contained formalin and rhodamine B. We also took dried fish and fresh fish but the formalin test showed negative result,” she explained. No wonder if many foods contain hazardous substances lately. It happens because hazardous substances such as borax, formalin and rhodamine B are easily obtained. Dr. I Made Agus Gelgel Wirasuta, Chairman of the Institute of Forensic Science and Criminology of the Udayana University recently argued that the substance is easily obtained because they are not intended for food. Moreover, in Java the borax known as bleng has been familiarly used in food. However, he expressed that currently the distribution of formalin has been regulated and can only be used for embalming corpses so that it is now hard to get. “But the dye is still very easy to obtain in the community,” he added.

Subak in Tabanan threatened by land shrinkage TABANAN - Tabanan has 229 subak (irrigation cooperative) organizations spread over ten subdistricts. One of the main functions of subak is governing the traditional agricultural irrigation. Requirements of establishing a subak include the existence of Bedugul temple, having a source of water and land area of at least 100 hectares. A total of 229 subak organizations in Tabanan remain to survive and none dissolves itself. However, the acreage of the subak is threatened by shrinkage due to land conversion to plantations or building function.
The subak in Dukuh Acak Mandung Kerambitan
IBP/Wira Sanjiwani
The Head of the Tabanan Agriculture and Food Crops Agency, Nyoman Budana, said that his agency continues to monitor the shrinkage of land every year. Each subak is required to report the amount of land area each year. If there is shrinkage, it must be reported along with the reason why it happens. Of the 229 subak organizations in Tabanan based on data from the Agriculture Agency in 2015, those having acreage under 100 hectares are 10 of 14 subak organizations in West Selemadeg, 11 of 19 subak organizations in Selemadeg and 17 of 26 subak organizations in East Selemadeg, 15 of 23 subak organizations in Kerambitan, 15 of 24 subak organizations in Tabanan, 8 of 23 subak organizations in Kediri, 14 of 34 subak organizations in Penebel and 17 of 18 subak organizations in
Pupuan. According to Budana, this time the subak in Tabanan remains to survive and there is even making an expansion as in the region of Selemadeg because it has a quite extensive land area. “However, it must still meet the necessary requirements and dissemination into the field before it is stipulated as a new subak,” explained Budana. Shrinkage of farmland is admitted to occur in Tabanan. Based on land area, the shrinkage averagely happens to 185.25 hectares per year or about 0.82 percent within the past five years (2010-2015). If seen from 2014 to 2015, the shrinkage of farmland area reached 248 hectares. Nevertheless, there is additional non-paddy field farmland where during the period of 2010-2015 the annual average increase reached
127.5 hectares or 0.32 percent. During the period of 2014-2015 there was additional non-paddy field farmland of 73 hectares or 0.18 percent. The non-paddy field farmland covers moor, plantations, community forests, pastures, national forests, dormant land and others like pool or pond. Of the land shrinkage, some are used for buildings such as residential, office and highway in which throughout the period of 20102015 the average land converted into building each year reached 57.60 hectares or 0.27 percent. In the meantime, during the period of 2014-2015 the area of paddy field area converted into building reached 175 hectares. Budana added that the assistance provided for subak organization is not in the form of cash, but in the form of fertilizer subsidies, aid of farming tools to repair supporting infrastructure such as irrigation, farm pathway and the establishment of gutter. In addition, the government helps market the agricultural products such as healthy rice. Currently, it is being developed the village-owned enterprise (BUMDes) that will help farmers to distribute their products. (kmb24)

Badung tourism optimistic to reach target
NEW YORK - Nearly four years after the shocking massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, a new film, “Newtown,” explores how a small Connecticut town has coped with the aftermath of the deadliest shooting of schoolchildren in U.S. history. The film, which opens in New York on Friday, begins with a late-summer parade, a scene that highlights the innocence of what was in many ways a typical American town. It then switches to a recording of the 911 call on the morning in December 2012 when 20 first graders and six educators were shot dead by a disturbed young man. “Newtown” shows how the event changed life in the town forever. “It is that feeling of a joyful summer and then boom it’s gone,” said Kim A. Snyder, the director of the film, which made its debut earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival. Snyder, who spent three years on the project, found a strength and dignity in the people of Newtown as they attempted to come to grips with the unthinkable. “It explores the process of grief and efforts at making change,” the 55-year-old director explained. “Newtown” depicts members of the community as victims whose pain has endured long after the

Parents of three of the children who were killed speak about how the shootings have devastated them. A surviving teacher, a first-responder, a custodian at the school, a neighbor and others share their experiences as well. “It was a way of bearing witness and giving them voice to whatever they were feeling,” said Snyder. She makes no mention of the gunman, who killed himself, and even though parents who lost chil-
dren have pushed for stricter gun laws, “Newtown” is not a film that directly addresses the issue of gun law reform. “This was not about him or that,” Snyder said. “I felt this film had to stay with the point of view of the survivors and aftermath and what is left in the wake.” The film shifts back and forth in time to reflect the feeling, relayed by people in the community, of being lost in time. Snyder suspects that is one of the hallmarks of trauma. (rtr)

MANGUPURA - Tourist arrival to Bali especially to Badung is estimated to reach the target. This is reflected in the number of commercial aircraft passengers at the Ngurah Rai International Airport showing an increase of 16 percent in September 2016. PT Angkasa Pura I (airport operator) noted that it has served 14.8 million passengers by the end of the third quarter when compared to September of last year with passenger amounting to 12.7 million. The Badung Tourism Office also records a quite fantastic figure of 3,119,956 travelers. The Head of the Badung Tourism Office, Cokorda Raka Darmawan, said that the travelers are still dominated by the Australian as well as Chinese market. “We are optimistic that the target of more than 4.3 million travelers can be reached this yearend. When compared to the same period in 2015, it shows an increase of 21.59 percent,” said Raka Darmawan.

Trail goes cold in German hunt for man suspected of planning bomb attack
BERLIN - The trail went cold on Sunday in a German police manhunt for a Syrian refugee suspected of planning a bomb attack after a raid on an apartment in which a cache of explosives was found. “We are following numerous tips, but unfortunately we don’t have a hot lead yet,” said Tom Bernhardt, spokesman for the Saxony state criminal investigation office. “We must continue to assume that this person poses a danger.” A security source told Reuters
that there was some evidence indicating the Syrian had Islamist leanings. “But this doesn’t automatically mean we are talking about IS (Islamic State). This could also be a case of self-radicalisation via the Internet.” Police appealed to the public for
any information on the suspect, 22year-old Jaber Albakr, after Saturday’s apartment raid in the eastern German city of Chemnitz. They described him as wearing a black hooded top with a bright pattern on the front, and warned people to be careful of him. Albakr had been in Germany since last year and was officially recognised as a refugee, Bernhardt said. He was not previously known to police, who raided the flat after
a tip-off from the domestic intelligence service. Police have begun investigating a second Syrian who rented the apartment that was raided and was known to Albakr. He was detained in Chemnitz on Saturday on suspicion of involvement in preparing a bomb attack with Albakr, Bernhardt said. Two other people detained in Chemnitz on Saturday have been released. In late July, Islamic State
claimed responsibility for attacks on a train near Wuerzburg and at a music festival in Ansbach which wounded 20 people.(rtr) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.
