Denpasar City Tour bringing in tourists

‘The Affair,’ ‘Mad Men’ and ‘Frontline’ among year’s 10 Best

NEW YORK — Sure, 10 is an arbitrary number. If we were to add an 11th show, it might very well be HBO’s sublimely shrewd comedy “Silicon Valley,” or ABC’s unbridled melodrama “Scandal,” or Fox’s noir thriller “Gotham.” It might even be “CBS This Morning,” which continues to offer early risers a smart diet of news as opposed to the empty calories of its rivals on ABC and NBC. But 10 it is, so here, in alphabetical order, are this year’s Big 10: p “The Affair” (Showtime). A New York novelist has an affair and creates havoc for two families — his own and his lover’s. The second season of this heated drama has been even

better than the first, as the rewards of his infidelity disintegrate and the consequences mount. p “The Americans” (FX). Perhaps the best but least-celebrated drama on the air, it marked a third season of crafty storytelling as it continued to explore the complex, death-defying lives of two Soviet KGB officers posing as an American married couple during the Cold War. The tangled storylines remained intriguing; with co-stars Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys so good in their multiple guises as undercover spies that they even escaped notice, yet again, from the Emmy and Golden Globes judges. For shame! p “Better Call Saul” (AMC). The

pain of losing “Breaking Bad” was salved for its fans by the return of Bob Odenkirk (who arrived at “BB” in its second season as welcome comic relief, then grew Saul into a full-fledged scene stealer) in this aptly quirky prequel. p “Fargo” (FX). A second season of doing the impossible — reimagining the 1996 film classic — this cycle has, if anything, improved on Season 1 with its completely new tale and slate of characters. p “Frontline” (PBS). Airing for more than 30 years, winner of more than two dozen Peabody Awards, it kept on keeping on this season with reports on the NRA, Vladimir Putin,

torture by the CIA, Ebola, ISIS and the challenges faced by transgender youngsters. p “The Good Wife” (CBS). This legal drama had a few false moments last spring, especially in plotting its farewell to glam gumshoe Kalinda (Archie Panjabi). But so far in Season 7, it’s back in the swing. p “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” (HBO). Religion, chicken, net neutrality, voting rights for Guam, the injustice of bail — they’re all the same to Oliver. p “Mad Men” (AMC). For anyone who was there, the ‘60s felt allinclusive yet passed in a flash. Same for “Mad Men,” whose saga began at

the dawn of the ‘60s and closed out that decade when its final season aired last spring. p “Narcos” (Netflix). This serialized, true-to-life thriller follows the exploits of Columbian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel, as well as the U.S. drug agents Escobar repeatedly outwits. p “Sense8” (Netflix). A fluid narrative takes viewers to eight cities where eight characters are somehow linked by an ability to share thoughts, feelings and visions they can’t explain to themselves or anyone else. Viewers are invited to embark on this enchanting sci-fi thrill ride from the Wachowskis (“The Matrix”). (ap)

Indonesian government has sunk Malaysian fishing vessel found fishing illegally in its waters on Tuesday.

Malaysian ship detained for poaching fish

JAKARTA - A surveillance ship belonging to the Indonesian Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources has detained a Malaysian fishing vessel KM SLFA 2675 for poaching fish in the waters of Malacca Strait. “It was intercepted by the surveillance ship Hiu 004 while conducting illegal fishing in the waters of Malacca Strait in North Sumatra on December 13, 2015, with around 300 kilograms of fish aboard as evidence,” Asep Burhanudin, the director general of fisheries and marine resource surveillance (PSDKP), stated on Wednesday.

He said the ship was intercepted while conducting illegal fishing without proper licensing documents from the Indonesian government. The KM SLFA 2675 vessel, weighing 56 gross tons, was also caught using illegal fishing equipment, such as a trawl, which can harm the fish and marine resources.

The ship and its crew have been detained on charges of allegedly violating articles in the fishery law, which carries a sentence of up to six years’ of imprisonment and a maximum fine of Rp20 billion. The KM SLFA 2675 vessel has been detained along with a trawl, GPS navigation equipment, compass, communication radio, and around 300 kilograms of varied species of fish. The evidence and five crew members from Myanmar have been taken to the PSDKP office in

Belawan, North Sumatra. The Indonesian government has sunk ships found fishing illegally in its waters to protect its fish supply.

SINCE the launch of the Heritage C i t y To u r o f Denpasar ,there has been a 60% increase in the number of tourists visiting several attractions in the city of Dnpasar, and as a result the municipal government is planning to add several new destinations to the city tour. According to tourism practitioner, Mangku Nyoman Kandia, the city tour has yet to tap into the full potential of Denpasar in its itinerary. Kandia who is also a member of the Indonesian Tourism Promotion Board (BPPI) said the Heritage City Tour of Denpasar cannot be fully developed until issues related to infrastructure have been resolved. For example, the traditional market included on the tour have yet to be well managed and are still quite dirty, making them less than appealing for tourists to go and visit. Kandia explained that the concept of a Denpasar city tour package was created by travel agents long before Denpasar even became a city in the 1970’s. Continue to page 2 Travelers ...
