‘Sully’ Flies High to $35.5 Million U.S. Opening

LOS ANGELES - Tom Hanks’ “Sully” has taken off with a stellar $35.5 million at 3,525 North American locations, marking a solid start to the fall box office season. Directed by Clint Eastwood, “Sully” handily outperformed recent expectations, which had been in the $25 million range. The action-adventure, which recreates 2009’s “Miracle on the Hudson” emergency landing, generated an A CinemaScore in a strong signal that “Sully” should continue to draw well in coming weeks. Sony-Screen Gems drama “When the Bough Breaks” opened

respectably in second with $15 million at 2,246 sites. Lionsgate’s launch of European animated comedy “The Wild Life” generated only modest interest in fifth place with $3.4 million at 2,493 locations while Relativity’s horror film “The Disappointments Room” was nearly invisible with $1.4 million at 1,554 screens for a dismal $901 per-screen average. “Sully” stars Hanks as Chesley

“Sully” Sullenberger, the career pilot who successfully landed a damaged U.S. Airways jet in the Hudson River after it hit a flock of geese following takeoff from LaGuardia Airport. Eastwood directed from a script by Todd Komarnicki, based on the autobiography “Highest Duty” by Sullenberger and Jeffrey Zaslow. “Sully” generated the top gross for a post-Labor Day weekend and the fifth-best September opening ever after “Hotel Transylvania 2,” “Hotel Transylvania,” “Insidious: Chapter 2” and “Sweet Home Alabama.” The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on Sept. 2 and has received largely laudatory reviews with a current 84 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences were 80 percent over 35 and 56 percent female. Warner distribution exec Jeffrey Goldstein said strong support among older moviegoers means “Sully” will hold well in the coming weeks. “Older audiences tend to support movies like this more over the long haul,” he added. Goldstein noted that two recent Hanks movies have generated strong holds -- 2012 hostage drama “Captain Phillips,” which opened with $25.7 million on its way to a domestic total of $107 million; and Hanks’ most recent film, “Bridge of Spies,” which debuted in mid-October with a $15.4 million opening weekend at 2,811 sites and also had a strong hold as it wound up with a $72 million domestic total.

Protests over river water dispute turn violent in Indian IT hub BENGALURU - India’s technology hub of Bengaluru deployed riot police on Monday to rein in protests as a water dispute turned violent, with cars and buses set of fire and people pelted with stones.

Television footage showed flames pouring from burnt-out vehicles as angry crowds gathered nearby, while police said the local metro network had been temporarily suspended. The violence erupted after India’s Supreme Court ordered Karnataka state, where Bengaluru is based, to release 12,000 cubic feet of water per second every day from the Cauvery river to neighbouring Tamil Nadu. The river has been the source of more than a century of tension between the states, and the anger has previously turned violent - in 1991 an interim court order telling Karnataka to release water to Tamil Nadu sparked riots against Tamils in Bengaluru, leaving more than 18 people dead. “Rapid Action Force Teams have been deployed all over the city,” Bengaluru city police said on Twitter on Monday. “We urge to all Bengalurians...Stay calm and not to be panic.” A Reuters witness saw a group of 20 to 30 protesters, some armed with sticks and stones, stopping and searching cars. They pulled several Tamil Naduregistered trucks and motorcycles to the

Families remember 9/11 victims 15 years after attacks Page 13

side of the road and pelted them with stones. At least one truck driver was beaten with a stick. The protesters let Karnataka-registered vehicles through the makeshift roadblock. Police said that more than 15,000 officers had been deployed to keep the peace including riot police and border security forces. They denied media reports that forces had imposed prohibitory orders on crowds gathering in public places. Bengaluru is home to top Indian IT companies such as Infosys Ltd, Wipro Ltd and Mphasis as well has offices of several multinational companies like Samsung Electronics. Media reported a small number of attacks on Tamil- owned propert y in Karnataka, while the Karnataka chief minister said on Twitter that he had asked his Tamil Nadu counterpart to investigate reports of violence in Tamil Nadu against people originally from his state. Disputes over water resources are common in India, where rising demand and poor management of supplies often leads to angry protests.

People with severe depression want to commit suicide

D E N PA S A R Many cases of suicide occur, ei-

ther by hanging one’s self, drinking poison or even burning one’s self. This happens because everyone has the potential to experience a mental

disorder. However, the potential for suicide is more experienced by people in severe depression. Types of depression can be di-

vided into the light, moderate and severe one. Depression itself is characterized by condition where people are losing interest in some-

thing, sad and easily tired. Continued on page 2 Depression...

COVER STORY

Depression... From page 1

BP/net

“Those usually having a hobby of promenade are no longer interested in doing it and are lazy to go to the office or campus. These are the main criteria of people in depression. Should there be any criteria or additional symptoms such as difficulty of concentrating, despair, pessimism, sleeplessness coupled with the desire to die or commit suicide they are called depression,” explained Luh Nyoman Alit Aryani, a consultant of physician in the field of addiction psychiatry at the Sanglah Hospital recently. People experiencing severe depression have quite large suicidal ideation. More than 70 percent of people with depression, at the end they want to die because of experiencing despair. In the meantime, people experiencing light depression have a glimpse of intention to die but the

idea has not been heading for suicide. Light to moderate depression usually experiences somatic symptoms such as headache and dizziness known as veiled depression. “Hence, many people with depression come to clinic, neurology and internal medicine complaining about pain, whereas their physical examination shows normal condition but complaining about pain,” she said Basically there are several factors causing people to commit suicide. However, those really committing suicide are indeed caused by a mental disorder. There also happened due to a personality disorder making them emotionally unstable. Mental disorders experienced are in the form of depression with deep and long grief and severe mental disorders such as psychotic and schizophrenic. “There are hallucinations, delusions and sound heard making them pessimistic and commit suicide,” he explained. Prevalence of people with schizo-

phrenia is one percent of the entire community, while she admitted to have no data on the prevalence of suicides. Potential mental disorder depends on some factors such as genes, biological factor, parenting and the environment such as psychosomatic disease. “For example, a patient having long suffered gastritis can develop into depression. Likewise, depression can stimulate the patient to suffer pain,” she said. In addition to disease, mental disorder can also be caused by some factors in the womb such as bleeding, wrapped in the umbilical cord and pressure factor as well as the environment and brain disorder due to substances. Mental disorder is not only caused by one factor, but there is a process. For example, the genes already have owned the potential of a mental disorder coupled with environmental factors and the upbringing, so that it can result in a mental disorder. (kmb42)

Wayang wong still exists amid the onslaught of time BANGLI —

Wayang wong is one of the Balinese traditional dramas. As the name implies, the show performed by several dancers presents the wayang or puppet stories. Although this art has existed since the fourteenth century and developed during the days of Waturenggong administration, until now the wayang wong remains to exist and survive amid the onslaught of modern time. An artist of wayang wong from Sulahan, Susut, I Dewa Gede Bakti, said on Saturday (Sep. 10) that based on its genre the wayang wong belongs to bebali (semi sacred) art. Wayang wong is usually performed at temples in relation to religious ceremonies. Based on its storyline, the wayang wong is divided into two, namely the Ramayana and the parwa. Wayang wong of Ramayana is a puppet show whose storyline is taken from the Ramayana epic, while the parwa tells about the storyline of Mahabharata epic. Typically, the parwa dancers do not use the property like mask as found in the wayang wong of Ramayana. Further he explained that in the show the dancers of wayang wong makes bilingual conversations namely in Old Javanese and Balinese language. Old Javanese language is spoken by the dancers playing the main characters, while Balinese language is spoken by dancers portraying as clown. “Clown is the most difficult role. Apart from having to make jokes, he must also serve as an interpreter,” he explained. According to this artist who is also the Secretary in the Bangli Culture and Tourism Agency,

though wayang wong has existed since the days of Waturenggong administration, until now he recognized that the art still exists. It is evident from the persistence of wayang wong in temple ceremonies at several villages in Bangli. Moreover, he had confidence that wayang wong will remain to persist considering at several villages the property used in wayang wong performance like masks are sanctified and danced in the implementation of ceremony. “At Sulahan village, for instance, the wayang wong is still staged because the masks are sanctified by local residents,” he explained. Nevertheless, Dewa Bakti recognized that it is quite difficult to regenerate the wayang wong dancer in several villages. Ordinarily the current younger generation is rarely interested in learning this art because is it hard to learn the languages, namely the Old Javanese and Balinese language. “Thankfully younger generation at Sulahan village has quite high interest in becoming the successors of wayang wong dancers, so that wayang wong can remain to survive until these days,” he said.

Elon Musk calls SpaceX blast a ‘most difficult, complex failure’

Joel Kowsky/NASA/Handout via Reuters

The United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket carrying NASA’s Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft lifts off from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, U.S. in this September 8, 2016 handout photo.

NASA probe blasts off on quest to collect asteroid samples

CAPE CANAVERAL - An Atlas 5 rocket blasted off from Florida on Thursday carrying a robot space probe on NASA’s first quest to collect samples from an asteroid and return them to Earth in hopes of learning more about the origins of life. The 19-story rocket, built and flown for NASA by United Launch Alliance, lifted off at 7:05 p.m. (2305 GMT) from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, hurling the satellite explorer Osiris-Rex on its voyage to the near-Earth asteroid Bennu. The 3,300-pound (1,500-kg) solar-powered probe separated from the rocket’s upper stage an hour after blastoff, soaring into space at 22,000 mph (35,400 kph) - more than 28 times the speed of sound - to begin its $1 billion, seven-year mission. It will take Osiris-Rex two years to reach its destination, a dark, rocky mass roughly a third of a mile wide and shaped like a giant acorn orbiting the sun at roughly the same distance as Earth. Bennu is thought to be covered with organic compounds dating back to the earliest days of the solar system. “You can think of these asteroids as literally prebiotic chemical factories that were producing building

blocks of life 4.5 billion years ago, before Earth formed, before life started here,” NASA astrobiologist Daniel Glavin said before launch. Scientists believe asteroids and comets crashing into early Earth delivered water and organic compounds that seeded the planet for life. Atomic-level analysis of samples from Bennu could help them prove that theory. Once it settles into orbit around Bennu in 2018, Osiris-Rex will spend up to two more years mapping the asteroid’s surface and taking inventory of its chemical and mineral composition. Scientists will ultimately choose a promising site on Bennu to sample and command OsirisRex to fly close enough to extend its robot arm to the asteroid’s surface. A sampling container will then release a swirl of nitrogen gas, which will stir up gravel and soil for collection. “The more big pieces we can get the better ... they could contain the carbon molecules that we

want to see,” Jim Garvin, chief scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, said on NASA TV. After gathering at least 2 ounces (60 grams) of material, Osiris-Rex will fly back to Earth, jettisoning a capsule bearing the asteroid-sample container for a parachute descent and landing in the Utah desert in September 2023. Only one other spacecraft, Japan’s Hayabusa, has previously returned samples from an asteroid to Earth, but it collected less than a milligram of material because of a series of problems. A follow-on mission, Hayabusa 2, is under way, with a return to Earth planned for December 2020. The U.S. space agency also hopes Osiris-Rex will demonstrate the advanced imaging and mapping techniques needed for future science missions and for upcoming commercial asteroidmining expeditions.

CAPE CANAVERAL - SpaceX founder and chief Elon Musk said on Friday he was unsure why one of the company’s Falcon rockets burst into flames on its Florida launch pad last week, destroying both the rocket and an Israeli communications satellite it was due to lift into orbit. “Still working on the Falcon fireball investigation. Turning out to be the most difficult and complex failure we have ever had in 14 years,” Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur who is also the chief executive of Telsa Motors, wrote on Twitter. A SpaceX-led accident investigation is underway, overseen by the Federal Aviation Administration’s Commercial Space Transportation office. A massive fireball enveloped the rocket on Sept. 1 as it was being fueled for a routine test of its first stage. The rocket was scheduled to blast off two days later. The rocket’s nine engines had not yet ignited for a test firing when a fireball engulfed the upper stage. “There was no apparent heat source,” Musk said on Friday. The accident destroyed the $200 million communications satellite owned by Israel-based Space Communication, which was going to be used by Facebook and Eutelsat to expand internet access in Africa. Hawthorne, California-based SpaceX has not yet said how much damage was done to its launch pad, located at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. SpaceX has backlog of more than 70 launches for commercial and government customers, worth more than $10 billion. The rocket that was destroyed was the second of 29 Falcon 9 rockets to fail. It took SpaceX about three weeks to identify the likely cause of its previous accident, which occurred on June 28, 2015. The problem was traced to a faulty bracket, which was holding a bottle of helium inside the rocket’s upper stage. When the strut broke about two minutes after liftoff, the upper-stage liquid oxygen tank over-pressurized and ruptured, triggering an explosion. SpaceX replaced thousands of struts throughout its fleet and had successfully flown nine times before last week’s failure. “We remain fully confident in the results of (that) investigation ... The current investigation has no bearing on this,” SpaceX spokesman Dex Torricke-Barton wrote in an email to Reuters. SpaceX’s next flight had been slated for later this month from a second launch pad at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. “We have confidence that SpaceX will resolve the matter and when they do we will be ready to launch,” SpaceX’s customer, Iridium Communications Inc, told Reuters on Friday. SpaceX said last week it was looking to shift its Florida launches to a nearly completed pad at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, adjacent to its Cape Canaveral site. (rtr)

At Terunyan village, Kintamani, for instance, penjor will only be installed by residents if the Galungan falls coinciding with full moon or known as Galungan nadi.

Terunyan villagers just install penjor on Galungan Nadi

BANGLI — Celebration of Galungan feast in Bali is always synonymous with the installation of penjor. In addition to the temple, penjor is usually mounted by residents in front of each house compound. But apparently, not all residents in Bali welcome the Galungan feast by installing penjor. At Terunyan village, Kintamani, for instance, penjor will only be installed by residents if the Galungan falls coinciding with full moon or known as Galungan nadi. As expressed by a resident of Terunyan village, Wayan Bona, the celebration of Galungan at Terunyan village is slightly different from the celebration at other villages. At Terunyan, no penjor is installed as other Balinese Hindus

do in general. The man serving as the Division Head of Tourist Destination Development at the Bangli Culture and Tourism Agency said that penjor will only be mounted by Terunyan residents if the Galungan falls coinciding with full moon or

Galungan nadi. “I do not really know about this tradition. This has been inherited from our ancestors,” he explained, Monday (Sep. 5). Further, Bona said that the penjor mounted by Terunyan residents is slightly different from penjor of

Galungan in general. At Terunyan, the penjor made by residents is decorating a piece of bamboo stem with intact branches. “The penjor in general is without the branches of the bamboo. But the penjor at Terunyan must leave the branches to be decorated,” he explained. In addition to slight difference in terms of penjor, preparation of residents to welcome the Galungan is admitted not to be as busy as residents at other villages. At

Terunyan, the preparation to welcome the Galungan is only done in a day namely on Galungan. Bona said that preparation of offerings is made by residents on Wednesday morning until noon. In the afternoon, the residents say prayers of Galungan until night. Other than at home, on Galungan residents of Terunyan usually say prayers to the Ratu Galungan shrine at the Pancering Jagat Temple located at the local village. (kmb40)

Design market of typical Klungkung souvenir

Regent Suwirta asks entrepreneurs to be creative

SEMARAPURA - The tourism development in Klungkung supported by the city tour program is expected to boost the economy. Unfortunately, until now entrepreneurs of Klungkung are reluctant to work on the souvenir market that is able to provide unique souvenirs of Klungkung. Regent of Klungkung, I Nyoman Suwirta, also asked the cooperatives in Klungkung to become a pioneer in selling typical souvenirs of Klungkung. Regent Suwirta also checked the sale of typical souvenirs of Klungkung in front of the Inti Supermarket precisely in the north of Semarapura sub-terminal becoming the central parking area of the city tour program. He hoped both cooperatives and local entrepreneurs to work on the potential of the typical souvenir of Klungkung

for foreign travelers. It can be T-shirts depicting the icon of Semarapura town or typical snacks of Klungkung. In order to attract consumers, he also asked the typical souvenirs of Klungkung can be packaged as attractive as possible to draw travelers to shop. With the particularities owned by Klungkung, this regent from Ceningan is optimistic the souvenir market can compete against other souvenir markets in Bali. “Currently, only Koppas Srinadi has been working on the typical souvenirs of Klungkung. Hopefully, the Klungkung employers can participate in developing it,” he explained. Other than typical souvenirs of Klungkung, Regent Suwirta will also develop the culinary market in the north entrance of Semarapura Market.

It will occupy the parking lot north of the market with the capability of accommodating about 20 merchants. This will be specialized to present the unique culinary treasures of Klungkung utilizing northern entrance hall of Semarapura Market as dining area of visitors. Building the culinary market, according to Regent Suwirta, does not need a budget considering the parking lot has become a representative venue to sell. It only requires a sponsor for the procurement of dining area of visitors. “We will deliver the management to customary village so that it can become revenue source to the surrounding customary villages. It is estimated that after Galungan or Kuningan this culinary market will begin its operation,” he concluded. (dwa)

Badung flooded with feast rubbish

Farmacy is prone to the distribution of illegal drugs

IBP/file

Weak supervision

Drug and food security breaches rampant

MANGUPURA - Celebration of Galungan feast resulted in an increase in the volume of rubbish in Badung. Based on data at the Badung Sanitation and Landscaping Agency (DKP), the increase reached 20 percent of the average rubbish volume of 210 tons each day. According to the Head of the DKP Badung, Putu Eka Merthawan, the increase in the volume of rubbish is dominated by rubbish of offerings and trade services. “The increase in the rubbish of ceremony occurred in Mengwi, Kuta and South Kuta subdistrict,” said Eka Merthawan when confirmed on Friday (Sep. 9). In addition to the celebration of religious holy days, the holiday season is also recognized by Eka Merthawan to greatly affect the

increase in the volume of rubbish. “In addition to the feast, it is also greatly affected by the surge in tourist visit, especially in tourism services, such as hotels and restaurants,” he explained. To further anticipate the surge in the volume of rubbish, he added, the agency had alerted all personnel and public participation. “There are a total of 900 officers deployed to clean up the rubbish. In addition, we also appeal to the staff not to take leave before the feast,” he

DENPASAR - Weak supervision makes food safety violations still rampant. After the findings of the traditional cakes containing hazardous substances, fake vaccines, traditional medicine containing chemicals, cosmetics containing hazardous substances, now are also found the expired raw materials of pizza and drugs. According to the Director of the Consumer Protection Foundation (YLPK) of Bali, Putu Armaya, the opportunities of violation against food safety are open due to lack of supervision and legal action. All this time, the surveillance against circulating goods found many violations but they are only provided with guidance. “Necessarily it should also be coupled with law enforcement to result in a deterrent effect,” he said, Thursday (Sep. 8). He continued that circulation of hazardous food occurred due to very weak supervision by relevant agencies in the monitoring and law enforcement. Pursuant to Article 4 of the Law No.8/1999 on Consumer Protection, consumers have the rights for security, comfort and safety of consuming goods and services. This means that consumers are entitled to get feasible food for consumption. Should there be any circulating food products found to contain harmful ingredients, the use of non-food dye and expiration date

violating the rules, the businesses can be charged with criminal acts of consumers namely five years in prison and a maximum fine of IDR 2 billion. Besides, many cosmetics circulating in the market are also found to clearly contain substances harmful to consumers, so that the businesses have violated Article 8 of the Law on Consumer Protection. “Well, the food and non-food issues mentioned above become the responsibility of the government through the health agency as well as the district / municipal and provincial commerce and industry agency. Likewise, responsibility of food and cosmetics safety issues also lies in the national agency for food and drug control (BPOM),” he said. Therefore, the relevant team or stakeholders in the field of consumer protection should be further optimized in supervising goods and services in the market, especially for food and cosmetics distribution. “If necessary, the budget to control the circulation of the food must be increased for the sake of consumer protection,” he added. In the future, the YLPK Bali asked that control against the circulation of goods can be conducted periodically and regularly. “Do not wait casualties to carry out the surveillance,” he affirmed.

MANGUPURA - Art performers in Badung district will have a special medium to display their artistic creativities. The government of Badung has planned the development of a multipurpose cultural hall (GSG). The building is planned to be developed at the location of training center or the former regent’s office. According to the Head of the Badung Culture Agency, I.B. Anom Basma, the detailed engineering design (DED) of the cultural hall

has been accomplished. “With the artists and cultural experts, we have already agreed that any art or cultural performances will take advantage of the cultural hall. The DED has been completed, so that the Human Settlement Agency just needs to work on its physical development,” said Anom Basma, Friday (Sep. 9). According to him, the cultural hall applies the concept resembling to the Denpasar Art Center. However, it is just built in an enclosed space with a

capacity of 3,000 spectators. In addition to performance stage, it will be equipped with a meeting room having the capacity of 600 participants. “It applies the concept like the building of the Denpasar Art Center, but it is designed in a closed chamber with a capacity of 3,000 spectators. It will be equipped with a large meeting room accommodating 600 people because I have calculated the number of hamlet chief reaching 545 people. If we invite them all, this building can be taken

explained. This official from Sempidi stated that for the activity to transport the rubbish his agency has prepared a total of 45 trucks. In addition, he also warned the officers to always take and transport the rubbish on time. “Moreover, this month there is an increase in tourist arrival in Badung district. Surely this will have an impact on the increase in the volume of rubbish at a number of tourist attractions,” he said. Eka Merthawan urged people to comply with the rubbish disposal according to predetermined time. “We do hope people to obey the rules on the waste disposal time,” he concluded. (kmb27)

To accommodate creativity of artists, Badung builds cultural hall advantage,” he explained. He said that the government of Badung will also equip the building with an open stage for outdoor art performance. “This building is also equipped with courtyard for outdoor art activities, such as the performance of baleganjur needing an open stage,” he said. It is unlike most cultural halls in general where the art troupes have to transport their gamelan instrument from the parking lot to stage area. The building said to have been budgeted as

much as IDR 16 billion will provide vehicle access to back stage area. “The incoming artists will also be facilitated because they no longer need to carry their gamelan instrument from parking lot. Vehicle has direct access to load and unload the gamelan instrument at the location and no longer needs to carry it,” he said while adding that the building will be dedicated to the artists and the public of Badung organizing cultural activities.

BEIRUT - Government troops and insurgents fought in several parts of Syria on Sunday, apparently seeking to strengthen their positions on the eve of a ceasefire that Free Syrian Army rebels said they would observe but with major reservations. The Free Syrian Army groups wrote to the United States on Sunday about the deal it agreed on with Russia, saying that while they would “cooperate positively” with the ceasefire, they were concerned it would benefit the government. Although the letter did not explicitly say the groups would abide by the ceasefire, two rebels who confirmed its text to Reuters said they would respect the ceasefire when it comes into force on Monday evening. But according to the letter, the groups are worried by the absence of enforcement mechanisms, a lack of provision for besieged areas and clauses letting army jets fly for up to nine days after the deal comes into effect. The influential hardline Islamist rebel group Ahrar al-Sham issued a statement late on Sunday attacking the ceasefire deal, but stopping short of explicitly saying it would not abide by its terms. A war monitor reported clashes around Aleppo and Damascus, but pushes by the government in the mountainous northwest and rebels

in the southwest indicated an effort to improve their positions before fighting is due to stop on Monday. Syria’s five-year civil war has killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced 11 million - half the country’s prewar population - causing a refugee crisis in the Middle East and Europe and inspiring jihadist attacks around the world. Underscoring the war’s global impact, President Bashar al-Assad is backed by Russia’s air force, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and Shi’ite militias from Iraq and Lebanon, while the rebels are supported by the United States, Turkey and Gulf Arab states. Previous peace agreements crumbled within weeks, with the United States accusing Assad and his allies of attacking opposition groups and civilians. On Saturday, air strikes on rebel-held areas killed scores of people. “A big part of the agreement serves the regime and doesn’t apply pressure on it and doesn’t serve the Syrian people,” said Zakaria Malahifji of the Aleppo-based rebel group Fastaqim. Syria’s government has not issued an official comment on the truce, but Syrian state media on Saturday quoted what it called private sources as saying the government had given its approval. Iran welcomed the deal on Sunday. (rtr)

As classical music drifted across the 9/11 Memorial plaza in lower Manhattan, family members and first responders slowly read the names and delivered personal memories of the almost 3,000 victims killed in the worst attack on U.S. soil since the 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor. Relatives in the crowd embraced and some held photos of loved ones and signs that read: “Never to be forgotten,” “We miss you,” and “Gone too soon.” Tom Acquarviva’s 29-year-old son Paul was one of 658 employees of financial services firm Cantor

Fitzgerald who perished after the first plane struck the north tower just below where they worked on the 101st to 105th floors. “Not a day goes by that we don’t remember him,” Acquarviva told Reuters. Angela Checo honored her brother, Pedro Francisco, 35, who was a vice president at investment and wealth manager Fiduciary Trust on the 96th floor of the south tower. “He was coming down but forgot someone and went back upstairs to save them,” Checo said. “That’s

why he never made it down.” The ceremony paused for six moments of silence: four to mark the exact times four hijacked planes were crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon near Washington D.C., and a Pennsylvania field. The last two record when the North and South towers of the Trade Center crumpled. It was held by two reflecting pools with waterfalls that now stand in the towers’ former footprints, and watched over by an honor guard of police and firefighters. More than 340 firefighters and 60 police were killed on the that sunny Tuesday morning in 2001. Many of the first responders died while running up stairs in the hope of reaching victims trapped on the towers’ higher floors. (rtr)

BUSINESS Fed fears pummel emerging markets; stocks fall 2.5 pct

LONDON - Fears of an imminent U.S. rate rise along with higher bond yields in developed markets hit emerging assets on Monday, with the main equity index tumbling 2.5 percent and currencies weakening against the dollar. U.S. and German 10-year yields were at the highest in 2-1/2 months, rising further after Friday’s spike caused by speculation the U.S. Federal Reserve could move interest rates this month, instead of December as markets had reckoned. With U.S. stocks falling around 2 percent on Friday, emerging markets, like other riskier assets, felt the heat. MSCI’s benchmark emerging equity index hit onemonth lows for the biggest daily loss since immediately after the Britain’s referendum vote to leave the European Union. The index fell 1.9 percent on Friday. “(Boston Fed President Eric) Rosengren’s comments last week really set this (sell-off) in motion, with his more hawkish comments... and that mood has continued now on Monday,” SEB’s chief emerging

markets strategist Per Hammarlund said, adding however he saw the current moves as a “blip”. He expects other Fed speakers to quash the hawkish tone, adding: “I think the data is a bit too weak and too unconvincing for them to already hike in September.” Hammarlund said markets also were rattled by a rise in Chinese overnight rates on offshore yuan to seven-month highs . Speculation has grown of a liquidity squeeze to control yuan depreciation via offshore markets. “(The PBOC) is trying to make offshore yuan funding more expensive, driving up forwards quite sharply and I suspect that will eventually squeeze out some longdollar yuan forwards, but for now it is touching off a bit of a risk-off mood,” he added. While onshore-traded yuan was

supported by reports of dollar sales by state-run banks, local stocks fell around 2 percent while Hong Kong listed H-shares slumped 3.4 percent for their biggest one-day fall since February. Emerging markets appear all the more vulnerable to a shift in Fed expectations, given emerging debt and equity funds have received bumper inflows in recent months. Bonds came under pressure, with yields on South Africa’s benchmark, one of the most liquid in emerging markets, now almost 20 basis points higher than Thursday’s close and Russian 10-year yields up about 24 bps. Yields on JPMorgan’s GBI-EM local debt index rose around 7 basis points on Friday and dollar bond yield spreads over Treasuries at a five-day high. On currency markets, the South African rand and Turkish lira weakened close to 1 percent to the dollar while oil’s 1 percent fall drove the rouble 0.6 percent lower. (rtr)

Duterte: Indonesia can chase pirates into Philippine waters

Dollar starts week on the back foot, risk aversion buoys yen

TOKYO - The dollar began the week on the back foot on Monday as a bout of risk aversion underpinned the yen, though losses were limited as the U.S. currency garnered some support on renewed talk of a possible rate hike by the Federal Reserve as early as this month. The safe-haven yen benefited from a broad drop in equities, with Tokyo’s Nikkei slipping to a two-week low. The dollar was down 0.3 percent at 102.445 yen, while the euro slipped 0.2 percent to 115.15 yen. The currency market also kept an eye on the sell-off in global bonds, with perceived limits to central bank policies having taken German and Japanese sovereign bond yields to multi-month highs. U.S. Treasury yields have also tracked their global peers higher. “The rise in global bond yields are being seen as a negative factor by the risk asset markets, which in turn is supporting the yen and capping the dollar,” said Junichi Ishikawa, senior FX strategist at IG Securities in Tokyo. The Bank of Japan is now studying several options to steepen the bond yield curve, say sources familiar with its thinking, as authorities desperately seek out policy tools to revive an economy that has failed to emerge from stagnation despite years of massive stimulus. While the stock market’s fall was the main driver behind the yen’s firmer showing, the Japanese currency also benefited from its safe haven status in reaction

to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton falling ill at a Sept. 11 memorial ceremony and diagnosed with pneumonia. Markets have generally assumed Clinton would win the presidency and have not truly considered the implications, both economic and for national security, should Donald Trump prevail. Last week’s nuclear test by North Korea, its fifth and biggest, has already unsettled global markets. And on Monday South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency cited South Korean government sources saying North Korea has completed preparations for another test. Disappointment at the European Central Bank’s failure to deliver more stimulus last week has weighed on euro zone bond markets. Against the dollar, the euro edged up 0.1 percent to $1.1239 . A spate of Fed speakers kept hopes alive for a September rate hike, despite some recently disappointing economic data including only a modest rise in U.S. nonfarm payrolls. After Boston Federal Reserve President Eric Rosengren spoke on Friday, odds on a rate hike in September rose to 30 percent probability from 24 percent before his comments. Monday is the final day on which U.S policymakers can speak in public before the “blackout period” begins a week before the Sep. 20-21 meeting. Fed governor Lael Brainard was suddenly scheduled late last week to give a talk in Chicago on Monday. (rtr)

Duterte, who is visiting Jakarta, discussed piracy and other security issues on Friday with Indonesian President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo. He said he was sorry that even shipments of coal from Indonesia destined for Philippine power plants are being affected by piracy. If Indonesian forces are chasing pirates and they enter Philippine waters, “they can go ahead and blast them off,” Duterte said. “That’s my word actually with Widodo. I said, ‘blow them up.’” He added, “But maybe if there are sharks around, then we can just feed them to the sharks.” Nine Indonesians are among 16 foreign hostages currently being held by the Muslim extremist group Abu Sayyaf in the southern Philippines, where Muslim separatist rebellions have raged for decades. In May, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines agreed to carry out coordinated patrols following a series of kidnappings and piracy attacks that undermined commerce in the Celebes Sea, where their sea borders overlap.

The number of hotspots increased significantly from only three on Saturday, Slamet Riyadi, spokesman of the Pakanbaru meteorology station, said. Of the 37 hotspots, 25 were found in Bangka Belitung, six in South Sumatra, three in Lampung, two in Bengkulu, and one in Riau. In Riau, the one hostpot was detected in Kampar District and it was not developed into a fire, he remarked. The government has claimed that the number of forest

fire cases had drastically dropped by 78 percent until August this year, compared to last year. President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) had earlier instructed that action must not be delayed to put an end to fires when they were still easier to control. The order was given to prevent a recurrence of the 2015 land and forest fires that had produced smoke chocking hundreds of thousands of Sumatran and Kalimatan inhabitants, and spreading up to Malaysia and Singapore. The legal enforcement has also been stepped up to prevent fires intentionally set in farmland and plantation areas particularly. (ant)

NEW YORK - Hillary Clinton is suffering from pneumonia, the Democratic presidential candidate’s personal doctor said on Sunday after she fell ill at a Sept. 11 memorial, an episode that renewed focus on her health less than two months before the election. Clinton canceled a trip she was scheduled to take to California on Monday for fundraising and other campaign events, an aide said, declining to provide further details about her schedule for the week. Clinton, 68, was diagnosed on Friday but her condition only came to light several hours after a video on social media appeared to show her swaying and her knees buckling before being helped into a motorcade as she left the memorial early Sunday. Clinton had a medical examination when she got back to her home in Chappaqua, New York, according to a campaign aide. Her doctor, Lisa Bardack, said in a statement that she has been experiencing a cough related to allergies and that an examination on Friday showed it was pneumonia. “She was put on antibiotics and advised to rest and modify her schedule. While at this morning’s event, she became overheated and dehydrated. I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely,” Bardack said. Clinton’s pneumonia diagnosis comes at a crucial time in the White House race against Republican rival Donald Trump, who refrained from commenting on her health on Sunday. The first of three presidential debates is on Sept. 26 and the election is on Nov. 8. Democratic National Committee head Donna Brazile said she was encouraged that Clinton “already is feeling better” and looked “forward to seeing her back out on the campaign trail and continuing on the path to victory.” Several Clinton allies said the incident underscored the candidate’s resilience. “After being diagnosed with pneumonia, Hillary Clinton ran a two-hour national security meeting, gave a press conference, and spent an hour and a half in the heat at a September 11 event,” said Peter Daou, who worked for Clinton in the past and now has a communications firm. “It was an impressive feat of physical strength that undermined weeks of health conspiracies.” (rtr)

SEOUL - North Korea is ready to conduct an additional nuclear test at any time, South Korea’s Defence Ministry said on Monday, three days after the reclusive North’s fifth test drew widespread condemnation. Pyongyang set off its most powerful nuclear blast to date on Friday, saying it had mastered the ability to mount a warhead on a ballistic missile and ratcheting up a threat that its rivals and the United Nations have been powerless to contain. “Assessment by South Korean and U.S. intelligence is that the North is always ready for an additional nuclear test in the Punggye-ri area,” the site of the North’s five nuclear explosions, South Korean Defence Ministry spokesman Moon Sang-gyun told a news briefing. “North Korea has a tunnel where it can conduct an additional nuclear test,” Moon said. South Korea’s Yonhap News

Agency reported earlier that North Korea had completed preparations for another nuclear test, citing South Korean government sources who said the North may use a previously unused tunnel at its mountainous test site. It did not elaborate on what activities had been detected at the test site. North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho, formerly the country’s chief nuclear negotiator, arrived in Beijing on Monday and was seen entering the country’s embassy, Japan’s Kyodo news agency reported. Ri left Pyongyang to attend a meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement countries in Venezuela and later the U.N. General Assembly,

the Associated Press reported from Pyongyang without citing a source. His trip comes amid a fresh push by the United States and South Korea for more sanctions following the nuclear test. A U.S. special envoy for the isolated state, Sung Kim, will travel to Seoul on Monday. Kim met with Japanese officials on Sunday and said the United States may launch unilateral sanctions against North Korea, echoing comments by U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday in the wake of the test. A push for further sanctions was “laughable”, North Korea said on Sunday, vowing to continue to strengthen its nuclear power. (rtr)

Dating from Majapahit period, it originally was an old dynasty sanctuary (prasada) of Ratu Jayengrat, a noble, who sailed from Majapahit and stranded on the coral reef at Kapal Village. Sadha Kapal was

destructive by earthquake in 1917 and has not been restored until 1950. The split gate and a 16meter high tower inside the temple are constructed much like ‘candi’ (temple) in Java. The 64 stone seats, similar to megalithic shrines, memorialize warriors who died in battle. (IBP/net)

ROME - Honda’s Dani Pedrosa became the eighth different MotoGP winner in eight races on Sunday to deny Italian great Valentino Rossi a home victory in front of 100,000 flag-waving fans at the San Marino Grand Prix. Rossi, 37, finished second ahead of Yamaha team mate and reigning champion Jorge Lorenzo at the Misano circuit in eastern Italy. Honda’s championship leader Marc Marquez was fourth with his overall championship lead cut to 43 points with five races remaining. Spaniard Marquez has 223 points to Rossi’s 180 and Lorenzo’s 162. It was the first time since the motorcycling world championship began in 1949 that eight different riders had won eight successive races in the same season in the top category. “The feeling was good, except yesterday in qualifying,” said Pedrosa, who had started in the middle of the third row of the grid and was one of just two riders to opt for the softest front tyre compound. “Today I focused on the rhythm, I knew this was the key. And then I just tried to do my race. Fortunately

my pace was very consistent,” added the Spaniard. Rossi had led from the start, when he got ahead of pole-sitter Lorenzo, but could not fend off Pedrosa once the Honda rider had passed Marquez and Lorenzo by lowering the race lap record. Pedrosa took the lead seven laps from the end and stayed ahead, finishing 2.837 seconds clear of Rossi for his first win since Malaysia last October. “Pedrosa was too fast. I tried the maximum but no way, he had the better pace,” said Rossi, speaking as a wave of his yellow-shirted fans invaded the track after the finish. “Anyway, it’s a second place. It’s a shame here in Misano because it was a special race I wanted to try to win but today was impossible.” Lorenzo said he had expected to fight for victory but the others were faster than him and he congratulated his compatriot. The winners of the previous seven races were Spaniard Maverick Vinales, Britain’s Cal Crutchlow, Italian Andrea Iannone, Marquez, Australian Jack Miller, Rossi and Lorenzo. (rtr)

The 31-year-old Swiss, who defeated Djokovic on his way to winning the 2014 Australian Open and 2015 French Open, denied the world number one a third grand slam title this year following the Serb’s wins in Australia and France. Wawrinka, who does his best work with titles on the line, set up his championship point with an easy volley after sending a fatigued Djokovic deep into the backhand corner. A Djokovic backhand that sailed long ended the nearly four-hour slugfest at Arthur Ashe Stadium. “This is amazing,” Wawrinka said at the trophy ceremony. “I came here without the goal to win it, but every time I step on the court I tried my best to win every match. “I think I played quite a lot of tennis these two weeks, I am completely empty. I had to bring everything I had today against Novak. It was so much emotion.” It was another Flushing Meadows disappointment for Djokovic, who in seven trips to the U.S. Open

final has twice won the title and finished runner-up five times. “He is a great champion and deserves to win this title,” the 12times slam winning Serb said in congratulating Wawrinka. “We played almost four hours and we both felt it. We both felt the demanding match we played today physically but he came out on top. In the decisive moments he was a better player, he was tougher mentally.” Djokovic who won the first set tiebreak 7-1 by running off the last five points, saluted Wawrinka as a “big match” player. The Swiss has won three of their seven grand slam encounters. “He loves to play in the big matches,” Djokovic said. “He comes up with his best game. He’s so solid from both corners. He’s got a good slice and amazing onehanded backhand, all corners. Big serve. Moves well. He’s a very complete player.” It was a gruelling, groundstroke battle that featured captivating rallies and brilliant shot-making from

the familiar foes. Wawrinka trailed Djokovic 19-4 in their career meetings, but the hard-working Swiss saves his best for the big stage and he came through with a superlative performance that extended his remarkable streak to 11 straight wins in tournament finals. As the match wore on, Wawrinka proved stronger and appeared to have Djokovic on the ropes early in the fourth set, the Serbian breathing heavily after some rallies and clutching at his leg in discomfort after being broken to trail 0-2. Djokovic was granted a medical timeout after holding serve for 1-3. Djokovic, who had injury questions entering the slam and benefitted from an easy ride that included a walkover and two retirements, took off both shoes and had some toes taped. The six-minute interruption did little to stem the victory charge by Wawrinka, who built his winning edge by being better on the most important points. The victory was worth $3.5 million for Wawrinka, who is only missing a Wimbledon victory to complete the coveted career grand slam. (rtr)

European football split as UEFA elects new president

ZURICH - UEFA elects a new president on Wednesday whose main task will be to stop what European officials say is an inexorable slide towards a breakaway soccer Super League open only to wealthy clubs such as Real Madrid and Manchester City. Aleksander Ceferin, a lawyer from Slovenia, and Dutchman Michael van Praag, an experienced football administrator, are the only candidates for a job which will essentially involve keeping European football intact in its current form. The election, which will be held in Athens, has been called after former president Michel Platini was banned last October as FIFA’s ethics committee investigated allegations of unethical conduct. Platini, banned for four years, finally resigned in May after exhausting the appeal process and the power vacuum allowed the big clubs to negotiate changes to the flagship Champions League in their favour. Those were finalised last month when UEFA opened up more places to teams from Europe’s biggest four leagues -- effectively Spain, England, Germany and Italy -- in the competition’s lucrative group stage and cut those allocated to the rest. Faced with the possibility of the big clubs forming their own Super League, UEFA said it had managed to “keep it in the family” but the move infuriated many clubs and leagues from outside the main countries. Both candidates criticised the way in which the Champions League changes were made. However, as so often happens in the secretive world of soccer

politics where officials like to keep their options close to their chests, they were cagey on whether they would try to reverse the changes if elected. “There needs to be a far stronger balance between sporting merit and commercial pressures, otherwise we risk an inexorable slide towards an NFL-style closed-shop system,” said Neil Doncaster, CEO of the Scottish league. “UEFA has a duty to act on behalf of the entire game, not just a few, select clubs and leagues and it must take that duty far more seriously if it is not to risk presiding over a harmful fragmentation of the game.” Dutch league director Jacco Swart even predicted a worldwide league in the next few years, driven by “TV markets, huge sponsors, branding and marketing”. The gap between the richest clubs and the rest has continued to grow over the last few years, fuelled by a revenue distribution system which dishes out larger sums to the bigger clubs and creates a snowball effect. During the last European transfer window, Manchester United spent more on midfielder Paul Pogba -- 100 million euros -- than the combined transfer expenditure of Portugal’s 16 first division clubs. Both candidates in the election, hailing from smaller nations, have

experienced the differences first hand. Ceferin’s homeland has been represented in the Champions League group stage only twice since 1992 -- both times by Maribor. The 48-year-old appears to be the favourite, although he is little known outside Slovenia. Van Praag, now head of the Dutch FA, is a former chairman of Dutch club Ajax which used to be a major European power but can no longer compete with the financial might of clubs from bigger leagues. Like other once mighty clubs such as Benfica, Ajax has effectively become a feeder club for the big leagues, supplying young talents such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Luis Suarez, who both played there earlier in their careers. Insiders say that the new incumbent, who will be in the post until 2019, will need the courage to stand up to the big clubs if he wants to keep the traditional pyramid system, where teams can rise and fall according to their sporting results. Lars-Christer Olsson, head of the umbrella group representing 24 European leagues, said that ultimately sponsors were likely to shy away from a sport which was splintered. “The last thing they want is a split in the market,” he told Reuters. “I think UEFA was afraid for no real reason.”(rtr)

CARSON — Landon Donovan returned to the Los Angeles Galaxy as a second-half substitute, ending his 21-month Major League Soccer retirement, as the hosts beat Orlando City 4-2 on Sunday. Donovan, the top scorer in the history of MLS and the U.S. men’s national team, announced his comeback with the Galaxy three days earlier. The 34-year-old got a lengthy standing ovation before entering in the 83rd minute. Giovani Dos Santos scored two goals and Alan Gordon added another during a first-half barrage for the Galaxy, who took sole possession of second place in the Western Conference. Captain Robbie Keane also scored as a second-half substitute. Kevin Molino scored on a rebound in the 20th minute and Brek Shea scored on the final kick of the game for Orlando City, which holds the last playoff spot in the East, only a point ahead of two pursuers. One of those pursuers is D.C. United, which kept up the chase with a dramatic 2-2 draw at New York. The Red Bulls, with goals from Gonzalo Veron in the 35th minute and Bradley Wright-Phillips in the 54th, looked to have the game in their keeping. However Steve Birnbaum pulled a goal back for D.C. in the 89th minute and Lamar Neagle equalized in the fifth minute of stoppage time, tapping in the ball after it bounced off a post. New York would have gone equal top of the East with a victory, but instead shares second place with local rival New York City.(ap)

The Spaniard could hardly have started his City reign more impressively with four consecutive Premier League wins and a crushing Champions League playoff defeat of Steaua Bucharest. But Guardiola, twice a Champions League winner as coach of Barcelona, has quickly moved to dampen expectations. “Until now, in the Premier League it has been okay -- but to compete against the best clubs in Europe, in this moment with the way we are playing, we are not able to,” Guardiola said.The comment was all the more surprising as it

came after Saturday’s impressive 2-1 victory at Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United. Even without top striker Sergio Aguero, who was suspended but will be available on Tuesday, City oozed confidence. The same cannot be said of Moenchengladbach, who City beat twice in the group phase last season before going on to reach the semi-finals for the first time. The Bundesliga side were beaten 3-1 at SC Freiburg over the weekend, interrupting what had been a bright start to the season for Andre Schubert’s men. Fourth in the Bundesliga last season, Moenchengladbach had crushed BSC Young Boys 9-2 on aggregate in the Champions League play-offs and opened their domestic campaign with a 2-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen. Brazilian midfielder Raffael,

however, said Saturday’s defeat would not impact on their trip to the Etihad. “I’m not anxious about the meeting with Man City, as it will be a completely different game. We aren’t afraid of any team,” he told the club’s website. City represent a huge challenge though, especially given Guardiola’s pedigree in the competition. He has never failed to reach at least the semi-finals in seven previous seasons coaching in the competition and, whatever he says about City’s readiness, he will surely be disappointed if his new club are not still alive in May. Saturday’s win at Old Trafford meant Guardiola became the first City manager to win his first six games in charge and there are positive signs that his tried and tested methods are already being taken on board by his squad.(rtr)

The gap between the richest clubs and the rest has continued to grow over the last few years, fuelled by a revenue distribution system which dishes out larger sums to the bigger clubs and creates a snowball effect. During the last European transfer window, Manchester United spent more on midfielder Paul Pogba -- 100 million euros -- than the combined transfer expenditure of Portugal’s 16 first division clubs. Both candidates in the election, hailing from smaller nations, have

experienced the differences first hand. Ceferin’s homeland has been represented in the Champions League group stage only twice since 1992 -- both times by Maribor. The 48-year-old appears to be the favourite, although he is little known outside Slovenia. Van Praag, now head of the Dutch FA, is a former chairman of Dutch club Ajax which used to be a major European power but can no longer compete with the financial might of clubs from bigger leagues. Like other once mighty clubs such as Benfica, Ajax has effectively become a feeder club for the big leagues, supplying young talents such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Luis Suarez, who both played there earlier in their careers. Insiders say that the new incumbent, who will be in the post until 2019, will need the courage to stand up to the big clubs if he wants to keep the traditional pyramid system, where teams can rise and fall according to their sporting results. Lars-Christer Olsson, head of the umbrella group representing 24 European leagues, said that ultimately sponsors were likely to shy away from a sport which was splintered. “The last thing they want is a split in the market,” he told Reuters. “I think UEFA was afraid for no real reason.”(rtr)

CARSON — Landon Donovan returned to the Los Angeles Galaxy as a second-half substitute, ending his 21-month Major League Soccer retirement, as the hosts beat Orlando City 4-2 on Sunday. Donovan, the top scorer in the history of MLS and the U.S. men’s national team, announced his comeback with the Galaxy three days earlier. The 34-year-old got a lengthy standing ovation before entering in the 83rd minute. Giovani Dos Santos scored two goals and Alan Gordon added another during a first-half barrage for the Galaxy, who took sole possession of second place in the Western Conference. Captain Robbie Keane also scored as a second-half substitute. Kevin Molino scored on a rebound in the 20th minute and Brek Shea scored on the final kick of the game for Orlando City, which holds the last playoff spot in the East, only a point ahead of two pursuers. One of those pursuers is D.C. United, which kept up the chase with a dramatic 2-2 draw at New York. The Red Bulls, with goals from Gonzalo Veron in the 35th minute and Bradley Wright-Phillips in the 54th, looked to have the game in their keeping. However Steve Birnbaum pulled a goal back for D.C. in the 89th minute and Lamar Neagle equalized in the fifth minute of stoppage time, tapping in the ball after it bounced off a post. New York would have gone equal top of the East with a victory, but instead shares second place with local rival New York City.(ap)

Guardiola’s City buoyant for visit of Moenchengladbach LONDON - Pep Guardiola says Manchester City are not yet ready to compete with Europe’s elite but his side will be confident of opening their Champions League campaign with victory over Borussia Moenchengladbach on Tuesday. The Spaniard could hardly have started his City reign more impressively with four consecutive Premier League wins and a crushing Champions League playoff defeat of Steaua Bucharest. But Guardiola, twice a Champions League winner as coach of Barcelona, has quickly moved to dampen expectations. “Until now, in the Premier League it has been okay -- but to compete against the best clubs in Europe, in this moment with the way we are playing, we are not able to,” Guardiola said.The comment was all the more surprising as it

came after Saturday’s impressive 2-1 victory at Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United. Even without top striker Sergio Aguero, who was suspended but will be available on Tuesday, City oozed confidence. The same cannot be said of Moenchengladbach, who City beat twice in the group phase last season before going on to reach the semi-finals for the first time. The Bundesliga side were beaten 3-1 at SC Freiburg over the weekend, interrupting what had been a bright start to the season for Andre Schubert’s men. Fourth in the Bundesliga last season, Moenchengladbach had crushed BSC Young Boys 9-2 on aggregate in the Champions League play-offs and opened their domestic campaign with a 2-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen. Brazilian midfielder Raffael,

however, said Saturday’s defeat would not impact on their trip to the Etihad. “I’m not anxious about the meeting with Man City, as it will be a completely different game. We aren’t afraid of any team,” he told the club’s website. City represent a huge challenge though, especially given Guardiola’s pedigree in the competition. He has never failed to reach at least the semi-finals in seven previous seasons coaching in the competition and, whatever he says about City’s readiness, he will surely be disappointed if his new club are not still alive in May. Saturday’s win at Old Trafford meant Guardiola became the first City manager to win his first six games in charge and there are positive signs that his tried and tested methods are already being taken on board by his squad.(rtr)

Wawrinka wins US Open, tops Djokovic in four sets

Sadha Kapal Temple BADUNG - Sadha Kapal Temple is famous for its detailed and beautiful decorative carving. Dating from Majapahit period, it originally was an old dynasty sanctuary (prasada) of Ratu Jayengrat, a noble, who sailed from Majapahit and stranded on the coral reef at Kapal Village. Sadha Kapal was

destructive by earthquake in 1917 and has not been restored until 1950. The split gate and a 16meter high tower inside the temple are constructed much like ‘candi’ (temple) in Java. The 64 stone seats, similar to megalithic shrines, memorialize warriors who died in battle. (IBP/net)

ROME - Honda’s Dani Pedrosa became the eighth different MotoGP winner in eight races on Sunday to deny Italian great Valentino Rossi a home victory in front of 100,000 flag-waving fans at the San Marino Grand Prix. Rossi, 37, finished second ahead of Yamaha team mate and reigning champion Jorge Lorenzo at the Misano circuit in eastern Italy. Honda’s championship leader Marc Marquez was fourth with his overall championship lead cut to 43 points with five races remaining. Spaniard Marquez has 223 points to Rossi’s 180 and Lorenzo’s 162. It was the first time since the motorcycling world championship began in 1949 that eight different riders had won eight successive races in the same season in the top category. “The feeling was good, except yesterday in qualifying,” said Pedrosa, who had started in the middle of the third row of the grid and was one of just two riders to opt for the softest front tyre compound. “Today I focused on the rhythm, I knew this was the key. And then I just tried to do my race. Fortunately

my pace was very consistent,” added the Spaniard. Rossi had led from the start, when he got ahead of pole-sitter Lorenzo, but could not fend off Pedrosa once the Honda rider had passed Marquez and Lorenzo by lowering the race lap record. Pedrosa took the lead seven laps from the end and stayed ahead, finishing 2.837 seconds clear of Rossi for his first win since Malaysia last October. “Pedrosa was too fast. I tried the maximum but no way, he had the better pace,” said Rossi, speaking as a wave of his yellow-shirted fans invaded the track after the finish. “Anyway, it’s a second place. It’s a shame here in Misano because it was a special race I wanted to try to win but today was impossible.” Lorenzo said he had expected to fight for victory but the others were faster than him and he congratulated his compatriot. The winners of the previous seven races were Spaniard Maverick Vinales, Britain’s Cal Crutchlow, Italian Andrea Iannone, Marquez, Australian Jack Miller, Rossi and Lorenzo. (rtr)

The 31-year-old Swiss, who defeated Djokovic on his way to winning the 2014 Australian Open and 2015 French Open, denied the world number one a third grand slam title this year following the Serb’s wins in Australia and France. Wawrinka, who does his best work with titles on the line, set up his championship point with an easy volley after sending a fatigued Djokovic deep into the backhand corner. A Djokovic backhand that sailed long ended the nearly four-hour slugfest at Arthur Ashe Stadium. “This is amazing,” Wawrinka said at the trophy ceremony. “I came here without the goal to win it, but every time I step on the court I tried my best to win every match. “I think I played quite a lot of tennis these two weeks, I am completely empty. I had to bring everything I had today against Novak. It was so much emotion.” It was another Flushing Meadows disappointment for Djokovic, who in seven trips to the U.S. Open

final has twice won the title and finished runner-up five times. “He is a great champion and deserves to win this title,” the 12times slam winning Serb said in congratulating Wawrinka. “We played almost four hours and we both felt it. We both felt the demanding match we played today physically but he came out on top. In the decisive moments he was a better player, he was tougher mentally.” Djokovic who won the first set tiebreak 7-1 by running off the last five points, saluted Wawrinka as a “big match” player. The Swiss has won three of their seven grand slam encounters. “He loves to play in the big matches,” Djokovic said. “He comes up with his best game. He’s so solid from both corners. He’s got a good slice and amazing onehanded backhand, all corners. Big serve. Moves well. He’s a very complete player.” It was a gruelling, groundstroke battle that featured captivating rallies and brilliant shot-making from

the familiar foes. Wawrinka trailed Djokovic 19-4 in their career meetings, but the hard-working Swiss saves his best for the big stage and he came through with a superlative performance that extended his remarkable streak to 11 straight wins in tournament finals. As the match wore on, Wawrinka proved stronger and appeared to have Djokovic on the ropes early in the fourth set, the Serbian breathing heavily after some rallies and clutching at his leg in discomfort after being broken to trail 0-2. Djokovic was granted a medical timeout after holding serve for 1-3. Djokovic, who had injury questions entering the slam and benefitted from an easy ride that included a walkover and two retirements, took off both shoes and had some toes taped. The six-minute interruption did little to stem the victory charge by Wawrinka, who built his winning edge by being better on the most important points. The victory was worth $3.5 million for Wawrinka, who is only missing a Wimbledon victory to complete the coveted career grand slam. (rtr)

North Korea ready for another nuclear test any time - S.Korea

NEW YORK - Hillary Clinton is suffering from pneumonia, the Democratic presidential candidate’s personal doctor said on Sunday after she fell ill at a Sept. 11 memorial, an episode that renewed focus on her health less than two months before the election. Clinton canceled a trip she was scheduled to take to California on Monday for fundraising and other campaign events, an aide said, declining to provide further details about her schedule for the week. Clinton, 68, was diagnosed on Friday but her condition only came to light several hours after a video on social media appeared to show her swaying and her knees buckling before being helped into a motorcade as she left the memorial early Sunday. Clinton had a medical examination when she got back to her home in Chappaqua, New York, according to a campaign aide. Her doctor, Lisa Bardack, said in a statement that she has been experiencing a cough related to allergies and that an examination on Friday showed it was pneumonia. “She was put on antibiotics and advised to rest and modify her schedule. While at this morning’s event, she became overheated and dehydrated. I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely,” Bardack said. Clinton’s pneumonia diagnosis comes at a crucial time in the White House race against Republican rival Donald Trump, who refrained from commenting on her health on Sunday. The first of three presidential debates is on Sept. 26 and the election is on Nov. 8. Democratic National Committee head Donna Brazile said she was encouraged that Clinton “already is feeling better” and looked “forward to seeing her back out on the campaign trail and continuing on the path to victory.” Several Clinton allies said the incident underscored the candidate’s resilience. “After being diagnosed with pneumonia, Hillary Clinton ran a two-hour national security meeting, gave a press conference, and spent an hour and a half in the heat at a September 11 event,” said Peter Daou, who worked for Clinton in the past and now has a communications firm. “It was an impressive feat of physical strength that undermined weeks of health conspiracies.” (rtr)

SEOUL - North Korea is ready to conduct an additional nuclear test at any time, South Korea’s Defence Ministry said on Monday, three days after the reclusive North’s fifth test drew widespread condemnation. Pyongyang set off its most powerful nuclear blast to date on Friday, saying it had mastered the ability to mount a warhead on a ballistic missile and ratcheting up a threat that its rivals and the United Nations have been powerless to contain. “Assessment by South Korean and U.S. intelligence is that the North is always ready for an additional nuclear test in the Punggye-ri area,” the site of the North’s five nuclear explosions, South Korean Defence Ministry spokesman Moon Sang-gyun told a news briefing. “North Korea has a tunnel where it can conduct an additional nuclear test,” Moon said. South Korea’s Yonhap News

Agency reported earlier that North Korea had completed preparations for another nuclear test, citing South Korean government sources who said the North may use a previously unused tunnel at its mountainous test site. It did not elaborate on what activities had been detected at the test site. North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho, formerly the country’s chief nuclear negotiator, arrived in Beijing on Monday and was seen entering the country’s embassy, Japan’s Kyodo news agency reported. Ri left Pyongyang to attend a meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement countries in Venezuela and later the U.N. General Assembly,

the Associated Press reported from Pyongyang without citing a source. His trip comes amid a fresh push by the United States and South Korea for more sanctions following the nuclear test. A U.S. special envoy for the isolated state, Sung Kim, will travel to Seoul on Monday. Kim met with Japanese officials on Sunday and said the United States may launch unilateral sanctions against North Korea, echoing comments by U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday in the wake of the test. A push for further sanctions was “laughable”, North Korea said on Sunday, vowing to continue to strengthen its nuclear power. (rtr)

BUSINESS Fed fears pummel emerging markets; stocks fall 2.5 pct

LONDON - Fears of an imminent U.S. rate rise along with higher bond yields in developed markets hit emerging assets on Monday, with the main equity index tumbling 2.5 percent and currencies weakening against the dollar. U.S. and German 10-year yields were at the highest in 2-1/2 months, rising further after Friday’s spike caused by speculation the U.S. Federal Reserve could move interest rates this month, instead of December as markets had reckoned. With U.S. stocks falling around 2 percent on Friday, emerging markets, like other riskier assets, felt the heat. MSCI’s benchmark emerging equity index hit onemonth lows for the biggest daily loss since immediately after the Britain’s referendum vote to leave the European Union. The index fell 1.9 percent on Friday. “(Boston Fed President Eric) Rosengren’s comments last week really set this (sell-off) in motion, with his more hawkish comments... and that mood has continued now on Monday,” SEB’s chief emerging

markets strategist Per Hammarlund said, adding however he saw the current moves as a “blip”. He expects other Fed speakers to quash the hawkish tone, adding: “I think the data is a bit too weak and too unconvincing for them to already hike in September.” Hammarlund said markets also were rattled by a rise in Chinese overnight rates on offshore yuan to seven-month highs . Speculation has grown of a liquidity squeeze to control yuan depreciation via offshore markets. “(The PBOC) is trying to make offshore yuan funding more expensive, driving up forwards quite sharply and I suspect that will eventually squeeze out some longdollar yuan forwards, but for now it is touching off a bit of a risk-off mood,” he added. While onshore-traded yuan was

supported by reports of dollar sales by state-run banks, local stocks fell around 2 percent while Hong Kong listed H-shares slumped 3.4 percent for their biggest one-day fall since February. Emerging markets appear all the more vulnerable to a shift in Fed expectations, given emerging debt and equity funds have received bumper inflows in recent months. Bonds came under pressure, with yields on South Africa’s benchmark, one of the most liquid in emerging markets, now almost 20 basis points higher than Thursday’s close and Russian 10-year yields up about 24 bps. Yields on JPMorgan’s GBI-EM local debt index rose around 7 basis points on Friday and dollar bond yield spreads over Treasuries at a five-day high. On currency markets, the South African rand and Turkish lira weakened close to 1 percent to the dollar while oil’s 1 percent fall drove the rouble 0.6 percent lower. (rtr)

Dollar starts week on the back foot, risk aversion buoys yen

TOKYO - The dollar began the week on the back foot on Monday as a bout of risk aversion underpinned the yen, though losses were limited as the U.S. currency garnered some support on renewed talk of a possible rate hike by the Federal Reserve as early as this month. The safe-haven yen benefited from a broad drop in equities, with Tokyo’s Nikkei slipping to a two-week low. The dollar was down 0.3 percent at 102.445 yen, while the euro slipped 0.2 percent to 115.15 yen. The currency market also kept an eye on the sell-off in global bonds, with perceived limits to central bank policies having taken German and Japanese sovereign bond yields to multi-month highs. U.S. Treasury yields have also tracked their global peers higher. “The rise in global bond yields are being seen as a negative factor by the risk asset markets, which in turn is supporting the yen and capping the dollar,” said Junichi Ishikawa, senior FX strategist at IG Securities in Tokyo. The Bank of Japan is now studying several options to steepen the bond yield curve, say sources familiar with its thinking, as authorities desperately seek out policy tools to revive an economy that has failed to emerge from stagnation despite years of massive stimulus. While the stock market’s fall was the main driver behind the yen’s firmer showing, the Japanese currency also benefited from its safe haven status in reaction

to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton falling ill at a Sept. 11 memorial ceremony and diagnosed with pneumonia. Markets have generally assumed Clinton would win the presidency and have not truly considered the implications, both economic and for national security, should Donald Trump prevail. Last week’s nuclear test by North Korea, its fifth and biggest, has already unsettled global markets. And on Monday South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency cited South Korean government sources saying North Korea has completed preparations for another test. Disappointment at the European Central Bank’s failure to deliver more stimulus last week has weighed on euro zone bond markets. Against the dollar, the euro edged up 0.1 percent to $1.1239 . A spate of Fed speakers kept hopes alive for a September rate hike, despite some recently disappointing economic data including only a modest rise in U.S. nonfarm payrolls. After Boston Federal Reserve President Eric Rosengren spoke on Friday, odds on a rate hike in September rose to 30 percent probability from 24 percent before his comments. Monday is the final day on which U.S policymakers can speak in public before the “blackout period” begins a week before the Sep. 20-21 meeting. Fed governor Lael Brainard was suddenly scheduled late last week to give a talk in Chicago on Monday. (rtr)

Duterte, who is visiting Jakarta, discussed piracy and other security issues on Friday with Indonesian President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo. He said he was sorry that even shipments of coal from Indonesia destined for Philippine power plants are being affected by piracy. If Indonesian forces are chasing pirates and they enter Philippine waters, “they can go ahead and blast them off,” Duterte said. “That’s my word actually with Widodo. I said, ‘blow them up.’” He added, “But maybe if there are sharks around, then we can just feed them to the sharks.” Nine Indonesians are among 16 foreign hostages currently being held by the Muslim extremist group Abu Sayyaf in the southern Philippines, where Muslim separatist rebellions have raged for decades. In May, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines agreed to carry out coordinated patrols following a series of kidnappings and piracy attacks that undermined commerce in the Celebes Sea, where their sea borders overlap.

Badung flooded with feast rubbish

Farmacy is prone to the distribution of illegal drugs

IBP/file

Weak supervision

Drug and food security breaches rampant

MANGUPURA - Celebration of Galungan feast resulted in an increase in the volume of rubbish in Badung. Based on data at the Badung Sanitation and Landscaping Agency (DKP), the increase reached 20 percent of the average rubbish volume of 210 tons each day. According to the Head of the DKP Badung, Putu Eka Merthawan, the increase in the volume of rubbish is dominated by rubbish of offerings and trade services. “The increase in the rubbish of ceremony occurred in Mengwi, Kuta and South Kuta subdistrict,” said Eka Merthawan when confirmed on Friday (Sep. 9). In addition to the celebration of religious holy days, the holiday season is also recognized by Eka Merthawan to greatly affect the

increase in the volume of rubbish. “In addition to the feast, it is also greatly affected by the surge in tourist visit, especially in tourism services, such as hotels and restaurants,” he explained. To further anticipate the surge in the volume of rubbish, he added, the agency had alerted all personnel and public participation. “There are a total of 900 officers deployed to clean up the rubbish. In addition, we also appeal to the staff not to take leave before the feast,” he

DENPASAR - Weak supervision makes food safety violations still rampant. After the findings of the traditional cakes containing hazardous substances, fake vaccines, traditional medicine containing chemicals, cosmetics containing hazardous substances, now are also found the expired raw materials of pizza and drugs. According to the Director of the Consumer Protection Foundation (YLPK) of Bali, Putu Armaya, the opportunities of violation against food safety are open due to lack of supervision and legal action. All this time, the surveillance against circulating goods found many violations but they are only provided with guidance. “Necessarily it should also be coupled with law enforcement to result in a deterrent effect,” he said, Thursday (Sep. 8). He continued that circulation of hazardous food occurred due to very weak supervision by relevant agencies in the monitoring and law enforcement. Pursuant to Article 4 of the Law No.8/1999 on Consumer Protection, consumers have the rights for security, comfort and safety of consuming goods and services. This means that consumers are entitled to get feasible food for consumption. Should there be any circulating food products found to contain harmful ingredients, the use of non-food dye and expiration date

violating the rules, the businesses can be charged with criminal acts of consumers namely five years in prison and a maximum fine of IDR 2 billion. Besides, many cosmetics circulating in the market are also found to clearly contain substances harmful to consumers, so that the businesses have violated Article 8 of the Law on Consumer Protection. “Well, the food and non-food issues mentioned above become the responsibility of the government through the health agency as well as the district / municipal and provincial commerce and industry agency. Likewise, responsibility of food and cosmetics safety issues also lies in the national agency for food and drug control (BPOM),” he said. Therefore, the relevant team or stakeholders in the field of consumer protection should be further optimized in supervising goods and services in the market, especially for food and cosmetics distribution. “If necessary, the budget to control the circulation of the food must be increased for the sake of consumer protection,” he added. In the future, the YLPK Bali asked that control against the circulation of goods can be conducted periodically and regularly. “Do not wait casualties to carry out the surveillance,” he affirmed.

capacity of 3,000 spectators. In addition to performance stage, it will be equipped with a meeting room having the capacity of 600 participants. “It applies the concept like the building of the Denpasar Art Center, but it is designed in a closed chamber with a capacity of 3,000 spectators. It will be equipped with a large meeting room accommodating 600 people because I have calculated the number of hamlet chief reaching 545 people. If we invite them all, this building can be taken

In addition, he also warned the officers to always take and transport the rubbish on time. “Moreover, this month there is an increase in tourist arrival in Badung district. Surely this will have an impact on the increase in the volume of rubbish at a number of tourist attractions,” he said.

Vehicle has direct access to load and unload the gamelan instrument at the location and no longer needs to carry it,” he said while adding that the building will be dedicated to the artists and the public of Badung organizing cultural activities.

BEIRUT - Government troops and insurgents fought in several parts of Syria on Sunday, apparently seeking to strengthen their positions on the eve of a ceasefire that Free Syrian Army rebels said they would observe but with major reservations. The Free Syrian Army groups wrote to the United States on Sunday about the deal it agreed on with Russia, saying that while they would “cooperate positively” with the ceasefire, they were concerned it would benefit the government. Although the letter did not explicitly say the groups would abide by the ceasefire, two rebels who confirmed its text to Reuters said they would respect the ceasefire when it comes into force on Monday evening. But according to the letter, the groups are worried by the absence of enforcement mechanisms, a lack of provision for besieged areas and clauses letting army jets fly for up to nine days after the deal comes into effect. The influential hardline Islamist rebel group Ahrar al-Sham issued a statement late on Sunday attacking the ceasefire deal, but stopping short of explicitly saying it would not abide by its terms. A war monitor reported clashes around Aleppo and Damascus, but pushes by the government in the mountainous northwest and rebels

in the southwest indicated an effort to improve their positions before fighting is due to stop on Monday. Syria’s five-year civil war has killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced 11 million - half the country’s prewar population - causing a refugee crisis in the Middle East and Europe and inspiring jihadist attacks around the world. Underscoring the war’s global impact, President Bashar al-Assad is backed by Russia’s air force, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and Shi’ite militias from Iraq and Lebanon, while the rebels are supported by the United States, Turkey and Gulf Arab states. Previous peace agreements crumbled within weeks, with the United States accusing Assad and his allies of attacking opposition groups and civilians. On Saturday, air strikes on rebel-held areas killed scores of people. “A big part of the agreement serves the regime and doesn’t apply pressure on it and doesn’t serve the Syrian people,” said Zakaria Malahifji of the Aleppo-based rebel group Fastaqim. Syria’s government has not issued an official comment on the truce, but Syrian state media on Saturday quoted what it called private sources as saying the government had given its approval. Iran welcomed the deal on Sunday. (rtr)

As classical music drifted across the 9/11 Memorial plaza in lower Manhattan, family members and first responders slowly read the names and delivered personal memories of the almost 3,000 victims killed in the worst attack on U.S. soil since the 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor. Relatives in the crowd embraced and some held photos of loved ones and signs that read: “Never to be forgotten,” “We miss you,” and “Gone too soon.” Tom Acquarviva’s 29-year-old son Paul was one of 658 employees of financial services firm Cantor

Fitzgerald who perished after the first plane struck the north tower just below where they worked on the 101st to 105th floors. “Not a day goes by that we don’t remember him,” Acquarviva told Reuters. Angela Checo honored her brother, Pedro Francisco, 35, who was a vice president at investment and wealth manager Fiduciary Trust on the 96th floor of the south tower. “He was coming down but forgot someone and went back upstairs to save them,” Checo said. “That’s

why he never made it down.” The ceremony paused for six moments of silence: four to mark the exact times four hijacked planes were crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon near Washington D.C., and a Pennsylvania field. The last two record when the North and South towers of the Trade Center crumpled. It was held by two reflecting pools with waterfalls that now stand in the towers’ former footprints, and watched over by an honor guard of police and firefighters. More than 340 firefighters and 60 police were killed on the that sunny Tuesday morning in 2001. Many of the first responders died while running up stairs in the hope of reaching victims trapped on the towers’ higher floors. (rtr)

Elon Musk calls SpaceX blast a ‘most difficult, complex failure’

Joel Kowsky/NASA/Handout via Reuters

The United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket carrying NASA’s Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft lifts off from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, U.S. in this September 8, 2016 handout photo.

NASA probe blasts off on quest to collect asteroid samples

CAPE CANAVERAL - An Atlas 5 rocket blasted off from Florida on Thursday carrying a robot space probe on NASA’s first quest to collect samples from an asteroid and return them to Earth in hopes of learning more about the origins of life. The 19-story rocket, built and flown for NASA by United Launch Alliance, lifted off at 7:05 p.m. (2305 GMT) from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, hurling the satellite explorer Osiris-Rex on its voyage to the near-Earth asteroid Bennu. The 3,300-pound (1,500-kg) solar-powered probe separated from the rocket’s upper stage an hour after blastoff, soaring into space at 22,000 mph (35,400 kph) - more than 28 times the speed of sound - to begin its $1 billion, seven-year mission. It will take Osiris-Rex two years to reach its destination, a dark, rocky mass roughly a third of a mile wide and shaped like a giant acorn orbiting the sun at roughly the same distance as Earth. Bennu is thought to be covered with organic compounds dating back to the earliest days of the solar system. “You can think of these asteroids as literally prebiotic chemical factories that were producing building

blocks of life 4.5 billion years ago, before Earth formed, before life started here,” NASA astrobiologist Daniel Glavin said before launch. Scientists believe asteroids and comets crashing into early Earth delivered water and organic compounds that seeded the planet for life. Atomic-level analysis of samples from Bennu could help them prove that theory. Once it settles into orbit around Bennu in 2018, Osiris-Rex will spend up to two more years mapping the asteroid’s surface and taking inventory of its chemical and mineral composition. Scientists will ultimately choose a promising site on Bennu to sample and command OsirisRex to fly close enough to extend its robot arm to the asteroid’s surface. A sampling container will then release a swirl of nitrogen gas, which will stir up gravel and soil for collection. “The more big pieces we can get the better ... they could contain the carbon molecules that we

want to see,” Jim Garvin, chief scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, said on NASA TV. After gathering at least 2 ounces (60 grams) of material, Osiris-Rex will fly back to Earth, jettisoning a capsule bearing the asteroid-sample container for a parachute descent and landing in the Utah desert in September 2023. Only one other spacecraft, Japan’s Hayabusa, has previously returned samples from an asteroid to Earth, but it collected less than a milligram of material because of a series of problems. A follow-on mission, Hayabusa 2, is under way, with a return to Earth planned for December 2020. The U.S. space agency also hopes Osiris-Rex will demonstrate the advanced imaging and mapping techniques needed for future science missions and for upcoming commercial asteroidmining expeditions.

CAPE CANAVERAL - SpaceX founder and chief Elon Musk said on Friday he was unsure why one of the company’s Falcon rockets burst into flames on its Florida launch pad last week, destroying both the rocket and an Israeli communications satellite it was due to lift into orbit. “Still working on the Falcon fireball investigation. Turning out to be the most difficult and complex failure we have ever had in 14 years,” Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur who is also the chief executive of Telsa Motors, wrote on Twitter. A SpaceX-led accident investigation is underway, overseen by the Federal Aviation Administration’s Commercial Space Transportation office. A massive fireball enveloped the rocket on Sept. 1 as it was being fueled for a routine test of its first stage. The rocket was scheduled to blast off two days later. The rocket’s nine engines had not yet ignited for a test firing when a fireball engulfed the upper stage. “There was no apparent heat source,” Musk said on Friday. The accident destroyed the $200 million communications satellite owned by Israel-based Space Communication, which was going to be used by Facebook and Eutelsat to expand internet access in Africa. Hawthorne, California-based SpaceX has not yet said how much damage was done to its launch pad, located at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. SpaceX has backlog of more than 70 launches for commercial and government customers, worth more than $10 billion. The rocket that was destroyed was the second of 29 Falcon 9 rockets to fail. It took SpaceX about three weeks to identify the likely cause of its previous accident, which occurred on June 28, 2015. The problem was traced to a faulty bracket, which was holding a bottle of helium inside the rocket’s upper stage. When the strut broke about two minutes after liftoff, the upper-stage liquid oxygen tank over-pressurized and ruptured, triggering an explosion. SpaceX replaced thousands of struts throughout its fleet and had successfully flown nine times before last week’s failure. “We remain fully confident in the results of (that) investigation ... The current investigation has no bearing on this,” SpaceX spokesman Dex Torricke-Barton wrote in an email to Reuters. SpaceX’s next flight had been slated for later this month from a second launch pad at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. “We have confidence that SpaceX will resolve the matter and when they do we will be ready to launch,” SpaceX’s customer, Iridium Communications Inc, told Reuters on Friday. SpaceX said last week it was looking to shift its Florida launches to a nearly completed pad at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, adjacent to its Cape Canaveral site. (rtr)

At Terunyan village, Kintamani, for instance, penjor will only be installed by residents if the Galungan falls coinciding with full moon or known as Galungan nadi.

Terunyan villagers just install penjor on Galungan Nadi

BANGLI — Celebration of Galungan feast in Bali is always synonymous with the installation of penjor. In addition to the temple, penjor is usually mounted by residents in front of each house compound. But apparently, not all residents in Bali welcome the Galungan feast by installing penjor. At Terunyan village, Kintamani, for instance, penjor will only be installed by residents if the Galungan falls coinciding with full moon or known as Galungan nadi. As expressed by a resident of Terunyan village, Wayan Bona, the celebration of Galungan at Terunyan village is slightly different from the celebration at other villages. At Terunyan, no penjor is installed as other Balinese Hindus

do in general. The man serving as the Division Head of Tourist Destination Development at the Bangli Culture and Tourism Agency said that penjor will only be mounted by Terunyan residents if the Galungan falls coinciding with full moon or

Galungan nadi. “I do not really know about this tradition. This has been inherited from our ancestors,” he explained, Monday (Sep. 5). Further, Bona said that the penjor mounted by Terunyan residents is slightly different from penjor of

Galungan in general. At Terunyan, the penjor made by residents is decorating a piece of bamboo stem with intact branches. “The penjor in general is without the branches of the bamboo. But the penjor at Terunyan must leave the branches to be decorated,” he explained. In addition to slight difference in terms of penjor, preparation of residents to welcome the Galungan is admitted not to be as busy as residents at other villages. At

Terunyan, the preparation to welcome the Galungan is only done in a day namely on Galungan. Bona said that preparation of offerings is made by residents on Wednesday morning until noon. In the afternoon, the residents say prayers of Galungan until night. Other than at home, on Galungan residents of Terunyan usually say prayers to the Ratu Galungan shrine at the Pancering Jagat Temple located at the local village. (kmb40)

Design market of typical Klungkung souvenir

Regent Suwirta asks entrepreneurs to be creative

SEMARAPURA - The tourism development in Klungkung supported by the city tour program is expected to boost the economy. Unfortunately, until now entrepreneurs of Klungkung are reluctant to work on the souvenir market that is able to provide unique souvenirs of Klungkung. Regent of Klungkung, I Nyoman Suwirta, also asked the cooperatives in Klungkung to become a pioneer in selling typical souvenirs of Klungkung. Regent Suwirta also checked the sale of typical souvenirs of Klungkung in front of the Inti Supermarket precisely in the north of Semarapura sub-terminal becoming the central parking area of the city tour program. He hoped both cooperatives and local entrepreneurs to work on the potential of the typical souvenir of Klungkung

for foreign travelers. It can be T-shirts depicting the icon of Semarapura town or typical snacks of Klungkung. In order to attract consumers, he also asked the typical souvenirs of Klungkung can be packaged as attractive as possible to draw travelers to shop. With the particularities owned by Klungkung, this regent from Ceningan is optimistic the souvenir market can compete against other souvenir markets in Bali. “Currently, only Koppas Srinadi has been working on the typical souvenirs of Klungkung. Hopefully, the Klungkung employers can participate in developing it,” he explained. Other than typical souvenirs of Klungkung, Regent Suwirta will also develop the culinary market in the north entrance of Semarapura Market.

It will occupy the parking lot north of the market with the capability of accommodating about 20 merchants. This will be specialized to present the unique culinary treasures of Klungkung utilizing northern entrance hall of Semarapura Market as dining area of visitors. Building the culinary market, according to Regent Suwirta, does not need a budget considering the parking lot has become a representative venue to sell. It only requires a sponsor for the procurement of dining area of visitors. “We will deliver the management to customary village so that it can become revenue source to the surrounding customary villages. It is estimated that after Galungan or Kuningan this culinary market will begin its operation,” he concluded. (dwa)

COVER STORY

Depression... From page 1

BP/net

“Those usually having a hobby of promenade are no longer interested in doing it and are lazy to go to the office or campus. These are the main criteria of people in depression. Should there be any criteria or additional symptoms such as difficulty of concentrating, despair, pessimism, sleeplessness coupled with the desire to die or commit suicide they are called depression,” explained Luh Nyoman Alit Aryani, a consultant of physician in the field of addiction psychiatry at the Sanglah Hospital recently. People experiencing severe depression have quite large suicidal ideation. More than 70 percent of people with depression, at the end they want to die because of experiencing despair. In the meantime, people experiencing light depression have a glimpse of intention to die but the

idea has not been heading for suicide. Light to moderate depression usually experiences somatic symptoms such as headache and dizziness known as veiled depression. “Hence, many people with depression come to clinic, neurology and internal medicine complaining about pain, whereas their physical examination shows normal condition but complaining about pain,” she said Basically there are several factors causing people to commit suicide. However, those really committing suicide are indeed caused by a mental disorder. There also happened due to a personality disorder making them emotionally unstable. Mental disorders experienced are in the form of depression with deep and long grief and severe mental disorders such as psychotic and schizophrenic. “There are hallucinations, delusions and sound heard making them pessimistic and commit suicide,” he explained. Prevalence of people with schizo-

phrenia is one percent of the entire community, while she admitted to have no data on the prevalence of suicides. Potential mental disorder depends on some factors such as genes, biological factor, parenting and the environment such as psychosomatic disease. “For example, a patient having long suffered gastritis can develop into depression. Likewise, depression can stimulate the patient to suffer pain,” she said. In addition to disease, mental disorder can also be caused by some factors in the womb such as bleeding, wrapped in the umbilical cord and pressure factor as well as the environment and brain disorder due to substances. Mental disorder is not only caused by one factor, but there is a process. For example, the genes already have owned the potential of a mental disorder coupled with environmental factors and the upbringing, so that it can result in a mental disorder. (kmb42)

Wayang wong still exists amid the onslaught of time BANGLI —

Wayang wong is one of the Balinese traditional dramas. As the name implies, the show performed by several dancers presents the wayang or puppet stories. Although this art has existed since the fourteenth century and developed during the days of Waturenggong administration, until now the wayang wong remains to exist and survive amid the onslaught of modern time. An artist of wayang wong from Sulahan, Susut, I Dewa Gede Bakti, said on Saturday (Sep. 10) that based on its genre the wayang wong belongs to bebali (semi sacred) art. Wayang wong is usually performed at temples in relation to religious ceremonies. Based on its storyline, the wayang wong is divided into two, namely the Ramayana and the parwa. Wayang wong of Ramayana is a puppet show whose storyline is taken from the Ramayana epic, while the parwa tells about the storyline of Mahabharata epic. Typically, the parwa dancers do not use the property like mask as found in the wayang wong of Ramayana. Further he explained that in the show the dancers of wayang wong makes bilingual conversations namely in Old Javanese and Balinese language. Old Javanese language is spoken by the dancers playing the main characters, while Balinese language is spoken by dancers portraying as clown. “Clown is the most difficult role. Apart from having to make jokes, he must also serve as an interpreter,” he explained. According to this artist who is also the Secretary in the Bangli Culture and Tourism Agency,

though wayang wong has existed since the days of Waturenggong administration, until now he recognized that the art still exists. It is evident from the persistence of wayang wong in temple ceremonies at several villages in Bangli. Moreover, he had confidence that wayang wong will remain to persist considering at several villages the property used in wayang wong performance like masks are sanctified and danced in the implementation of ceremony. “At Sulahan village, for instance, the wayang wong is still staged because the masks are sanctified by local residents,” he explained. Nevertheless, Dewa Bakti recognized that it is quite difficult to regenerate the wayang wong dancer in several villages. Ordinarily the current younger generation is rarely interested in learning this art because is it hard to learn the languages, namely the Old Javanese and Balinese language. “Thankfully younger generation at Sulahan village has quite high interest in becoming the successors of wayang wong dancers, so that wayang wong can remain to survive until these days,” he said.

‘Sully’ Flies High to $35.5 Million U.S. Opening

LOS ANGELES - Tom Hanks’ “Sully” has taken off with a stellar $35.5 million at 3,525 North American locations, marking a solid start to the fall box office season. Directed by Clint Eastwood, “Sully” handily outperformed recent expectations, which had been in the $25 million range. The action-adventure, which recreates 2009’s “Miracle on the Hudson” emergency landing, generated an A CinemaScore in a strong signal that “Sully” should continue to draw well in coming weeks. Sony-Screen Gems drama “When the Bough Breaks” opened

respectably in second with $15 million at 2,246 sites. Lionsgate’s launch of European animated comedy “The Wild Life” generated only modest interest in fifth place with $3.4 million at 2,493 locations while Relativity’s horror film “The Disappointments Room” was nearly invisible with $1.4 million at 1,554 screens for a dismal $901 per-screen average. “Sully” stars Hanks as Chesley

Director of the movie Clint Eastwood (2nd L) poses with cast members Tom Hanks (2nd R), Aaron Eckhart (R) and Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger at the premiere of “Sully” in Los Angeles, California U.S., September 8, 2016.

“Sully” Sullenberger, the career pilot who successfully landed a damaged U.S. Airways jet in the Hudson River after it hit a flock of geese following takeoff from LaGuardia Airport. Eastwood directed from a script by Todd Komarnicki, based on the autobiography “Highest Duty” by Sullenberger and Jeffrey Zaslow. “Sully” generated the top gross for a post-Labor Day weekend and the fifth-best September opening ever after “Hotel Transylvania 2,” “Hotel Transylvania,” “Insidious: Chapter 2” and “Sweet Home Alabama.” The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on Sept. 2 and has received largely laudatory reviews with a current 84 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences were 80 percent over 35 and 56 percent female. Warner distribution exec Jeffrey Goldstein said strong support among older moviegoers means “Sully” will hold well in the coming weeks. “Older audiences tend to support movies like this more over the long haul,” he added. Goldstein noted that two recent Hanks movies have generated strong holds -- 2012 hostage drama “Captain Phillips,” which opened with $25.7 million on its way to a domestic total of $107 million; and Hanks’ most recent film, “Bridge of Spies,” which debuted in mid-October with a $15.4 million opening weekend at 2,811 sites and also had a strong hold as it wound up with a $72 million domestic total.

Protests over river water dispute turn violent in Indian IT hub BENGALURU - India’s technology hub of Bengaluru deployed riot police on Monday to rein in protests as a water dispute turned violent, with cars and buses set of fire and people pelted with stones.

Television footage showed flames pouring from burnt-out vehicles as angry crowds gathered nearby, while police said the local metro network had been temporarily suspended. The violence erupted after India’s Supreme Court ordered Karnataka state, where Bengaluru is based, to release 12,000 cubic feet of water per second every day from the Cauvery river to neighbouring Tamil Nadu. The river has been the source of more than a century of tension between the states, and the anger has previously turned violent - in 1991 an interim court order telling Karnataka to release water to Tamil Nadu sparked riots against Tamils in Bengaluru, leaving more than 18 people dead. “Rapid Action Force Teams have been deployed all over the city,” Bengaluru city police said on Twitter on Monday. “We urge to all Bengalurians...Stay calm and not to be panic.” A Reuters witness saw a group of 20 to 30 protesters, some armed with sticks and stones, stopping and searching cars. They pulled several Tamil Naduregistered trucks and motorcycles to the

Families remember 9/11 victims 15 years after attacks Page 13

side of the road and pelted them with stones. At least one truck driver was beaten with a stick. The protesters let Karnataka-registered vehicles through the makeshift roadblock. Police said that more than 15,000 officers had been deployed to keep the peace including riot police and border security forces. They denied media reports that forces had imposed prohibitory orders on crowds gathering in public places. Bengaluru is home to top Indian IT companies such as Infosys Ltd, Wipro Ltd and Mphasis as well has offices of several multinational companies like Samsung Electronics. Media reported a small number of attacks on Tamil- owned propert y in Karnataka, while the Karnataka chief minister said on Twitter that he had asked his Tamil Nadu counterpart to investigate reports of violence in Tamil Nadu against people originally from his state. Disputes over water resources are common in India, where rising demand and poor management of supplies often leads to angry protests.
