Jay-Z’s new album sells more than 500K in 1 week Associated Press Writer NEW YORK — Jay-Z’s new album has sold more than 500,000 units its first week. Nielsen SoundScan said late Tuesday that preliminary data shows that “Magna Carta Holy Grail” moved about 527,000 copies. It will debut at No. 1 on
the Billboard 200 chart this week. The album was officially released on July 7. Samsung bought and gave 1.2 million copies of the album to Galaxy mobile phone users on July 4. Billboard is not counting those sales on its charts. “Magna Carta” has the second-best first-week debut of the year after Justin
Timberlake’s “20/20 Experience.” The album features Timberlake, Beyonce, Frank Ocean and Timbaland. Jay-Z’s 12th album had more than 14 million streams in its first week on Spotify, beating a record that Daft Punk set in May with “Random Access Memories.”

Traffic adjustment at Lumintang
Designed for one-way underpass and one-way lane IBP/Eka Adhiyasa
Vehicles pass the intersection in Ubung, Denpasar, Bali Island recently. Denpasar government plan to make an underpass to this crowded intersection. Bali Post
DENPASAR - Traffic flow density in Denpasar is increasingly alarming. It happens due to high vehicle ownership growth exceeding 7 percent per year and the low growth of road length reaching less than 2 percent per year. This condition is aggravated by the high population movement from one region to another. It excludes the development of urban areas in Denpasar, making the traffic burden more crowded. Therefore, it is designed a study on the traffic management and engineering at Lumintang and surrounding areas to resolve the congestion occurred every day at the location. The study has been designed by CV Trilogy Utama planner consultant and the results were presented at the office of the Denpasar Transportation Agency, Tuesday (Jul 16).
In the presentation conducted by the planner consultant, I Putu Alit Suthanaya, PhD., was revealed some alternatives designed to resolve the traffic density around the Lumintang Square and Jalan Gatot Subroto-Jalan Cokroaminoto intersection, especially for the 4-way intersection on Jalan Gatot Subroto-Jalan Cokroaminoto. “One of the solutions we offer is the making
of underpass at the intersection,” said Alit doubling as lecturer at the Faculty of Engineering, Udayana University. Alit Sutanaya said the underpass designed for the intersection was different from the underpass at Dewa Ruci intersection in Badung because the road width at the intersection of Jalan Gatot Subroto was much smaller. As consequence, it
would have an impact on the other intersections. Thus, his party would also design the traffic changes in the surrounding area, namely at the Lumintang Civic Center. “The underpass at Ubung will be made one-way from the south to the north,” he explained. He said the traffic draft at the area would undergo a change, such as the Jalan Cokroaminoto, Jalan Gatot Subroto (until intersection of Jalan A Yani) and Jalan Mulawarman would be made one-way. In details, the road section on Jalan Cokroaminoto would be heading for the north to Jalan Gatot Subroto and Jalan Cokroaminoto Utara (Ubung). The traffic from Jalan
Gatot Subroto to the west would be diverted to Jalan A Yani passing through Jalan Maruti and then to Jalan Cokroaminoto. Then, some road sections at the area of Lumintang Civic Center would be designed one-way. As a whole, it would look like figure 8 starting from the intersection of Jalan Cokroaminoto and Jalan Gatot Subroto to Lumintang Civic Center. “The obstacle lies in Jalan Mulawarman having the status as a county road, but it will be changed into national road so that it can be passed through by large vehicles,” said Alit Sutanaya last Tuesday.
