Bali can become inspiration of the world

LOS ANGELES - Actress Angelina Jolie has filed for a divorce from actor Brad Pitt, her husband of two years and romantic partner since 2005, her attorney said on Tuesday, signaling the end of one of Hollywood’s most glamorous and powerful couples. “This decision was made for the health of the family. She will not be commenting, and asks that the family be given its privacy at this time,” attorney Robert Offer said in a statement. The Oscar-winning actress filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, citing irreconcilable differences, court documents showed. Jolie sought full physical custody of their six children ages 8 to 15 with visitation rights for Pitt but did not seek spousal support. Jolie cited their separation date as Sept. 15. “I am very saddened by this but what matters most now is the wellbeing of our kids,” Pitt told People magazine. “I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time.” Jolie and Pitt, known collectively as “Brangelina,” were one of the entertainment world’s most visible couples, due to their good looks, successful films and activism. They married in 2014 after a decade together. Their relationship was steady fodder for tabloids with reports focusing on what role Jolie played in the breakup of Pitt’s marriage to actress Jennifer Aniston and, more

Media commentators reacted with surprise and sadness to the news. “Today shall go down as the day love died,” Vogue magazine said in an online report on the couple’s split. Social media buzzed with #brangelina mentioned roughly 720 times per minute on Twitter, more than triple mentions for the United Nations General Assembly, according to analytics firm Zoomph. Jolie, 41, who won a best-supporting actress Oscar for “Girl, In-

terrupted” in 2000, was previously married to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton. Pitt, 52, was married to Aniston in 2003 when he and Jolie filmed “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” the story of assassins unknowingly assigned to kill each other. There were reports of an affair, but Jolie told Vogue they were only “very, very good friends” until Pitt and Aniston split in 2005. Before their August 2014 wedding at their French estate, Jolie and Pitt had said they would not wed until same-sex couples were allowed to marry. (rtr)

Rescuers search through debris for victims in a village badly hit by a flash flood in Garut, West Java, Indonesia, Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016. Torrential rains triggered floods and landslides on the main island of Java, killing a number villagers and forcing about 1,000 others to take shelter at military barracks or other temporary shelters, an official said Wednesday.

MANGUPURA - Bali is known by world community for its cultural uniqueness. Culture also makes Bali one of the best tourist destinations in the world. It is the culture that has caused Bali to own a different ‘color’ and this certainly needs to be protected and maintained. It is not quite on the opposite, considering culture as a burden. “Local wisdom is not then becoming an oldfashioned thing, but what preserved by Balinese people can be an inspiration for other parts of the world. Do not consider culture as a burden,” said a member of parliament from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, Diah Pitaloka, amid the International Conference of Progressive Alliance at Legian, Badung. Diah cited that one of the cultures and local wisdoms owned by Bali is subak or irrigation cooperative. Traditional irrigation system in the agricultural sector is considered to have the capability of inspiring the world. That is why the closing of the International Conference of Progressive Alliance held by the PDI-P was also filled with the visit to a subak area. Participants from dozens of countries around the world were accidentally introduced to subak having been recognized by the UNESCO as world’s cultural heritage. Heritage... Continued on page 2

Flash floods in Indonesia kill 20; rescuers hunt for missing

GARUT - Indonesian search and rescue teams worked on Wednesday to find victims of flash floods that killed 20 people and damaged hundreds of homes, authorities said. The floods hit the Garut area, about 200 km (125 miles) southeast of the capital, Jakarta, on Tuesday after torrential rain. “We’ve reported that we found 20 bodies and we’ve identified 15 of them,” said Endah Trisnawati, a

member of a police disaster victims identification unit. It was not clear how many peo-

ple were missing but some officials in the area said it could be up to 15. Some media reported 20 people were unaccounted for. Authorities said search and rescue operations would go on. Military personnel and volunteers helped evacuate about 1,000 residents of the area. De-

bris floated in gradually receding floodwater in inundated villages and there appeared to be widespread damage to vehicles and buildings. Flash floods and landslides are common in Indonesia, often caused by heavy rain at this time of year. (rtr)

“Hopefully, subak can become a solution for irrigation problems in other countries. It is especially for the countries having relied on agriculture,” she added. Coordinator of Social Democracy in Asia, Marie Chris Cabreros, said that local knowledge existing in society should continue to be grown. By that way, the local wisdom can be instilled in every aspects of life. Unfortunately, the local knowledge commonly very interesting is often forgotten to be

discussed. “The economic and political pillars have often been discussed. But there is something forgotten when talking about culture. We forget about local wisdom whether it is related to the art, music or paddy field cultivation. Necessarily, they become fascinating and grow deeply in the community,” she said accompanied by the Coordinator of the Progressive Alliance, Konstantin Woinoff. Participants of the seminar from the PDI-P Bali, A.A. Ngurah Adhi Ardhana, said the government in Bali actually has

made the protection against cultural values and even religious values on the Island of the Gods. The protection is applied into regulations made by the executive and legislative. One of them is related to customary village, subak and others. “We have made some rules, but it will highly depend on the implementation because they still need strengthening. In other words, the support of community and supervision from the legislative is necessary,” said this member of the Bali House of Representatives. (kmb32)

Rubbish of feast left to mount Residents complain about stench

GIANYAR - The increase in the volume of waste after Galungan and Kuningan may have become a commonplace. However, at Blahbatuh village the piles of rubbish of ceremony seemed to have been left and not transported until Tuesday (Sep. 20). As a result, the piles of rubbish line at roadside and generate stench that can disturb residents.

As seen on Tuesday afternoon, the piles of rubbish of ceremony could be found at a number of points on Jalan Serma Derya, Blahbatuh. Actually, there have been two waste containers in the area, but apparently they were not enough to accommodate so the rubbish spilled onto the roadside. More severe condition was found on Jalan Kapten Japa, Blahbatuh. At that location, the piles of rubbish were allowed to continuously accumulate and lined at the roadside along five meters. Unavoidably, they were complained by a number of residents. Other than generating stanch, if they are left the condition will be very disturbing aesthetics. “Stench of the rubbish at the roadside is very prominent. Besides, it will interfere with the aesthetics and health because it is in rainy season and can potentially brings in dengue fever and other diseases,” said Wayan Dana, a resident who is crossing at the location. In the meantime, headman of Blahbatuh, A.A. Ngurah Kapidada, when asked for his confirmation could not dismiss the piles of rubbish in the area. He explained that such condition happened due to some factors, such as the sanitation fleet of Blahbatuh village is also taking day off during holiday. “A fleet is handled by local officers. Coinciding with this feast day, they also take day off but last Monday they should have started working,” he said. He explained that another reason for the accumulating volume of the waste is also caused by the densely populated area of Blahbatuh whose population reaches 1,900 families. “In addition to population density, geographically we have two markets. This condition also has an impact on the high production of waste,” he said. Waste Division Head of the DKP Gianyar, Made Suwastika, previously said that the increase in the volume of waste in Gianyar after religious celebration could reach 25 to 30 percent. “On normal days, the volume of waste in Gianyar reaches 500 cubic meters, but after Galungan and Kuningan experiences an increase to 650 cubic meters and even more,” he said with permission of the Head of the DKP Gianyar, I Wayan Kujus Pawitra. Apart from being handled by the DKP Gianyar, waste problem is also assisted independently by each village. Until now, a total of 25 independent waste management units have participated in handling waste problem in Gianyar. “The waste transported by the DKP Gianyar officers or independent officers has been entirely delivered to Temesi landfill,” he said.

Just going on vacation may change gene activity

IN a new study comparing a meditation retreat with just relaxing in the same locale, both options improved stress regulation, immune function and other cellular markers in the blood. Researchers measured gene activity, blood markers and reported wellbeing during the vacation and months afterward, and found a large and immediate “vacation effect” in all participants. For those who continued meditating, benefits were seen even 10 months later. “Vacation in a relaxing, resortlike environment takes you away from your day-to-day grind, which may be high stress in which your body is in a more defensive-like posture, with pressures to meet deadlines, dealing with angry customers, ‘battling’ with colleagues for resources to accomplish your mission or whatever,” said senior author Dr. Eric Schadt, founding director of the Icahn Institute for Genomics and Multiscale Biology at Mount Sinai in New York. “On a relaxing vacation you allow your body to get out of that defensive posture, reduce your levels of stress which in turn affects the states of cells that are involved in your immune system,” he said. At the molecular level, addi-

tional changes only happened, or happened more, in the meditation group, including more effective manufacture and use of proteins, he noted. “We don’t know what this means exactly, but given associations with biomarkers of aging, there is the potential that these changes could enhance overall wellbeing and longevity,” Schadt told Reuters Health by email. The researchers enrolled 102 women ages 30 to 60 in the study and tested their blood before and after five days at the La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California. Some women were participating in a meditation and yoga retreat while others were simply staying at the resort and not taking part in yoga or meditation training. About a third of the women had already booked the retreat and were regular meditators, while the remaining 70 had no history of meditating. Half of the nonmeditators were randomly assigned to the yoga/meditation program

and the other half were randomly assigned to vacation only. In addition to providing blood samples before and after the retreat, the women reported on their depression symptoms, stress, vitality and mindfulness on day five, one month later and 10 months later. Psychological wellbeing scores improved for all three groups by day five and one month later. At the 10-month point, women who had meditated during the retreat had greater decreases in depressive symptoms and stress than those who had only been on vacation, according to the results reported in Translational Psychiatry. Gene expression changes and aging biomarkers in blood samples had improved significantly for all groups at the end of the retreat, indicating benefits from simply being on vacation. In addition, women who were already regular meditators had higher activity of telomerase, an enzyme that repairs and fortifies the tips of chromosomes. Telomeres get shorter and shorter as we age. Vacation and meditation seemed to turn down defense responses, inflammation response and innate immune response, Schadt said. (rtr)

Free from anthrax disease

Bali cattle to be bred in Nusa Penida

SEMARAPURA - Excellence of Nusa Penida cattle being free from anthrax in fact gets the attention from central government. Through the Ministry of Agriculture, the central government issued a decree so that Bali cattle breeding will be centered in the area of Nusa Penida. This decision is positively responded by the Regent of Klungkung, I Nyoman Suwirta. However, Regent Suwirta requested it should not just be a slogan used to be fun and proud for a moment.

Infants who get a taste of eggs and peanuts starting when they’re as young as 4 months old may have a lower risk of developing allergies to those foods than babies who try them later.

Giving babies eggs and nuts early may avert allergies

INFANTS who get a taste of eggs and peanuts starting when they’re as young as 4 months old may have a lower risk of developing allergies to those foods than babies who try them later, a research review suggests. With eggs, giving babies that first spoonful between 4 and 6 months was associated with 46 percent lower odds of egg allergies than waiting to introduce this food later. For peanuts, offering infants a sample between 4 and 11 months was associated with 71 percent lower odds of peanut allergies than waiting longer. These findings suggest that for most babies, eggs and peanuts should be among their first foods, said senior study author Dr. Robert Boyle, a pediatric allergy researcher at Imperial College London. But that’s not what many doctors recommend, he said. Feeding guidelines have moved away from telling parents to avoid introducing some foods that can cause allergies until kids are 2 or 3 years old, but most recommendations still stop short of urging parents to give babies eggs and peanuts early in life.

“Infant feeding advice may need to change,” Boyle said by email. To see how the timing of babies’ introduction to certain allergenic foods influences their risk of allergies, Boyle and colleagues reviewed data from 146 studies published over the past 70 years. When 5.4 percent of the population has egg allergies, early introduction could avoid 24 cases for every 1,000 people, a review of data from five of those studies with 1,915 participants found. For peanuts, when about 2.5 percent of the population has allergies, early introduction could avoid 18 cases for every 1,000 people, a review of data 1,550 participants found. Researchers didn’t find enough evidence to determine whether early introduction of fish might reduce the likelihood of allergies in general and nasal allergies in particular. They also looked at whether giving babies gluten, a protein in wheat, rye and barley, early might increase the risk of celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that damages the small intestine and interferes with the absorption of nutrients from food. (rtr)

“This breeding center should really be materialized for the welfare of the community, especially Nusa Penida,” said Regent Suwirta when serving as a speaker at the Seminar and Workshop entitled Development of Nusa Lembongan Region for Bali Cattle-based Agro- Ecotourism” at Nusantara Building of the Udayana University Campus in Denpasar, Monday (Sep. 19). This regent from Ceningan, Nusa Penida, said that Minister of Agriculture issued the Decree No. 348/2016 on Nusa Penida region as the source of Bali cattle because the Bali cattle primarily the one in Nusa Penida are truly recognized to have advantage as being free from anthrax disease. Besides, Bali cattle almost have equivalent meat quality to the famous imported meat known to be chewy and savory. Bali cattle have been registered as a source of germplasm asset of Indonesia. On that account, the regent requested it is no need to think twice. The ministerial decision must be supported by all parties so that Nusa Penida region actually becomes the source featured cattle. Moreover, Klungkung district will focus on the Nusa Penida cattle breeding which aims to realize the public welfare. “If calves can be sold at a higher price, it will certainly increase the income of farmers so that eventually empty out into the welfare of farmers in particular and community in general,” he said. Regent Suwirta also looked forward to all parties, academician and Udayana University in order to seriously provide the study on the “Development of Nusa Lembongan Region for Bali Cattle-based AgroEcotourism” so that the failure of the trial will not happen again. “The government of Klungkung seriously escorts the Decree of the Minister of Agriculture on Nusa Penida region as the source of Bali cattle so that it can be truly realized,” said Regent Suwirta. The seminar was conducted by the Center for Bali Cattle Study (PKSB) in collaboration with the University of Udayana Denpasar, the government of Klungkung, Indonesian Veterinarian Association (PDHI) of Bali. This seminar is held in the framework of Nusa Lembongan Development as Bali Cattle-based Agro-Ecotourism. It took place on September 19-20 at the Nusantara Building of the Udayana University, Denpasar. (kmb)

Manuscript conservation costs can be taken from BKK or LPD aids

DENPASAR - So far, the extension officers of Balinese language have managed to record 8,370 palm-leaf manuscripts across this Island of the Gods. Of that total number, 2,562 pieces are in untreated or damaged condition. In the meantime, the remaining numbers are in preserved condition or they can be read but require further conservation. Moreover, the manuscripts are extraordinary richness, where some of them carry astrology, spells, philosophy, traditional healing and rooster manual guide to black magic or pengleakan. “After the manuscripts were found, first of all, at least they are conserved or cleaned in order not to be gobbled by insects and prevent them from being damaged. Secondly, they should be digitized or copied to a new palm-leaf,” said Chairman of Commission IV, I Nyoman Parta, responding to the

findings of the Balinese language extension officers in Denpasar, Monday (Sep. 9). Parta added that the cost for conservation and digitization can be drawn from the special financial assistance (BKK). At certain villages, the conservation efforts of the manuscripts can also be financed by social funds of rural credit agency (LPD). “Actually it depends whether we consider it important or not. If we consider it important, our LPD throughout Bali can finance it. It must be borne in mind that one of the objectives to establish the LPD is to preserve Balinese customs, Hinduism and culture,” he explained. Parta argued that intact palmleaf manuscripts should be rescued from being damaged so that they are unlike thousands of other manuscripts. The rescue effort can also

be carried out with the manuscript reading. The more frequently read, the better preserved it will be. “Everywhere, the palm-leaf manuscript can still look good because they are often read. When being read, we will have the intention to clean up and maintain. Besides, they are presented with offerings on specific days like full moon, new moon or Sarasvati. Conversely, if they are never read and made sacred, they are finally damaged,” he said. When confirmed separately, the Head of the Bali Culture Agency, Dewa Putu Beratha, said the government cannot conserve directly the manuscripts of the community without there is a demand for the conservation from community owning the manuscripts. As happened in Buleleng, there are people that have handed over their palm-leaf manuscripts to the

Culture Agency because they are not able to take care of theirs. “In Gianyar, there are also people submitting a letter to the Culture Agency to conserve 25 manuscripts while in Klungkung a total of 50 manuscripts need conserving. Those manuscripts are owned by the community and we cannot enter without receiving any request from them,” he said. Beratha continued that the conservation cost is actually not expensive. The ingredients used to clean up the manuscripts are quite simple such as citronella oil, alcohol of above 90 percent and tissues. When the writing in the palm-leaf manuscripts is somewhat vague, it is only required roasted hazelnut. “There is misunderstanding where people store palm-leaf manuscripts in wooden box. Actually wood is easily eaten by termites so that most manuscripts are dam-

aged. All the manuscripts will be safe if stored in a glass cabinet with aluminum. The temperature should also be maintained between 20-23 degrees centigrade. In a cool area, it should be given sufficient lighting,” he added. Unfortunately, continued Beratha, apparently not all the Balinese language extension officers expected to provide knowledge for people have the competence to maintain or conserve manuscripts. On that account, it will be scheduled to provide them with such skills. “If the extension officers have such capability, their work will not only record, question and make data collection any longer. However, we expect them to help people conserve their manuscripts. It is a pity that graduates of Balinese language have no knowledge about manuscript conservation,” he explained. (kmb32)

The direct promotion this time is involving colleagues from Garuda Indonesia cabin crew and Indonesian students becoming the ambassador of the Visit Wonderful Indonesia program from the Garuda Orient Holidays Korea (GOH Korea). General Manager of Garuda Indonesia to Korea Office, I Wayan Supatrayasa, conveyed that this activity is meant to reintroduce the beauty of Indonesia through dances and friendliness of our cabin crew denoting the world’s best cabin crew. The event was opened with the dances of Bali and Jakarta performed by female students of Indonesian in Korea and resumed with the presentation of gift away by Garuda Indonesia cabin crew to visitors. “We intentionally choose to hold this event during the day coinciding with the time break. In fact, it is highly acclaimed by potential travelers denoting the employees of the

companies located around the Seoul City. This direct promotion should continuously be undertaken on a regular basis in the very competitive destinations,” he said. In the Korean market, Indonesia is still ranked tenth as preferred destination. Indonesia is still below China, Japan, US, Thailand or the Philippines. “With the support and good cooperation with all tourism players, we have confidence to be a preferred destination for Korean travelers,” he said. Currently, Garuda Indonesia serves the Indonesia-Korea flight as much as 13 times a week by using Airbus A330 aircraft with a capacity of 36 seats of business class and 215 seats of economy class. “We serve Seoul-Jakarta route for 7 times week, while the Seoul-Denpasar is served for 6 times a week. Bali still becomes our mainstay in promoting Indonesia. Related to Yogyakarta

and Lombok destination, our sales figures have recorded an increase and the average travelers visiting Yogyakarta and Lombok have been to Bali before. We have prepared a special package to prospective travelers, especially for tour packages to Bali, Yogyakarta and Lombok,” he explained. He expressed that Bali is still a mainstay in promoting Indonesia and the destinations like Yogyakarta and Lombok also become an option for travelers who have been to Bali. “With our current schedule, Korean travelers wishing to spend vacation to Yogyakarta and Lombok are greatly facilitated because they can arrive on the same day as their departure from Korea,” said Supatrayasa. Direct support to the promotion activities was given by colleague from the Indonesian Embassy in Seoul, namely the Coordinator of Information and Socio-cultural Function Fuad Adriansyah and Coordinator of Consular Affairs, M. Aji Surya participating in distributing flyers about the beauty of Indonesia to prospective Korean travelers. (kmb18)

U.S. Forces Korea said the flight by a pair of B-1B Lancer strategic bombers based in Guam was a show of force and of U.S. commitment to preserve the security of the peninsula and the region. The United States, which has about 28,500 troops in South Korea, flew two B-1 bombers on Sept. 13 escorted by U.S. and South Korean fighter jets in a show of solidarity with Seoul. The North condemned the earlier flight as an armed provocation that mobilized “ill-famed nuclear killing tools”. It did not immediately respond to Wednesday’s flight. The U.S. Air Force said the Wednesday flight was the closest ever to North Korea by a B-1 bomber. “Today marks the first time the airframe has landed on the Korean peninsula in 20 years, as well as conducting the closest flight near North Korea ever,” the U.S. Air Force said on its website which also showed a B-1B bomber landing at the base in South Korea. The South’s Yonhap news agency said the aircraft flew over a U.S. live-fire training site in the Pocheon area bordering the North. North Korea has ignored global condemnation of its fifth nuclear test on Sept. 9, and this week said it had successfully tested a new rocket engine that would be used to launch satellites, again in violation of U.N. sanctions. The leaders of the United States and China, which is the North’s main diplomatic ally and economic benefactor, condemned the latest nuclear test and pledged to step up cooperation at the United Nations and in law enforcement channels.

Trump scores with small money, lags with big donors

NEW YORK - U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been a hit with small donors, raking in two-thirds of his individual campaign contributions

in sums of $200 or less, according to financial disclosures filed on Tuesday. But with the big-money donor class, the players Trump blasted

during the primary season as greedy influence peddlers, the celebrity businessman has fallen short of expectations, the disclosures filed with the federal government showed. Trump took in 65 percent of his total $75 million in individual campaign contributions from people who pitched in $200 or less, but Super PAC contributions fell short of expectations. Great America PAC, the proTrump Super PAC led by Republican operative Ed Rollins, said in July it expected to pull in more than $20 million by now. Instead, it has raised just $11 million, according to the latest campaign finance disclosures. In a similar fashion, a pro-Trump Super PAC kicked off by Los Angeles real estate investor Tom Barrack, Rebuilding America Now, said in June it had $32 million in fundraising commitments. But it received just over $2 million that month. A spokesperson

for the Super PAC says it has now raised $18 million. It will not file its next report until October 15. The Republican kingmaker who was expected to be Trump’s single biggest backer, casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, has scaled back his initial pledge of $100 million, made in a private meeting with Trump in May, to just $5 million, according to two associates close to Adelson familiar with the matter.

CLINTON FINANCES Democrat Hillary Clinton, who will face Trump in the Nov. 8 election, has received about a quarter of her campaign donations from people who contributed $200 or less - $71 million out of a total of $289 million, according to disclosures. Among the biggest backers to the pro-Clinton Super PAC, Priorities USA, were Donald Sussman, president of Paloma Partners Advisors, Inc, George Soros, chairman of Soros Fund Management, and Daniel Abraham, executive at SDA

Enterprises. Clinton’s money advantage will help her fund ad campaigns and get-out-the-vote efforts in the final stretch the 2016 election. She leads Trump by 4 percentage points nationally, according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll. Together, Clinton’s campaign and Super PAC have raked in a total of $520 million. By comparison, Trump’s campaign and two Super PACs backing him have brought in a combined $200 million. Super PACs can raise unlimited money for candidates as long as they don’t directly coordinate with the campaign. The latest filings, which cover spending through August 31, showed a big increase in Trump’s spending, with $30 million in disbursements, more than any month so far. They also provided further insight into the stark differences between the two candidates’ operations. (rtr)

BUSINESS OECD sees growth flounder as “globalisation stalls” PARIS - Global economic growth will flounder this year and next at rates not seen since the financial crisis as the march of globalisation grinds to a halt, the OECD warned on Wednesday. Long a motor for the global economy, trade growth is set to lag growth in the broader world economy this year, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development said in an update of its main economic forecasts. “This is well below past norms and implies that globalisation as measured by trade intensity may have stalled,” the Paris-based organisation said. As a result, the OECD estimated the global economy would muster growth of only 2.9 percent this year, down from a forecast of 3.0 percent in its last estimates in June and the lowest rate since the global financial crisis of 2008-2009. The OECD said many global supply chains that add economic value at each stage and are often rooted in China and other east Asian countries were unravelling as China sought to wean its economy off of exports for growth and some firms brought back production to their home countries. A growing backlash against trade liberalisation as well as recessions in some big commodityproducing countries were adding to the trade slowdown, which the OECD warned could erode already flagging productivity and thus ultimately living standards. “If we could get back on track with the kind of trade growth that we had in the 1990s and 2000s, we would be able to return to productivity growth rates prior to the financial crisis,” OECD chief

economist Catherine Mann told Reuters in an interview. “Productivity has basically fallen by half since the financial crisis and that is a recipe for breaking promises to all of our citizens,” she said. BROKEN PROMISES A backlash against trade has surged onto the political agenda of several countries facing elections in the coming months. U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump has campaigned hard to roll back trade liberalisation while Germany and other European countries saw tens of thousands of people protest on Saturday against planned free trade deals with the United States and Canada. Mann said that while voters could easily see losses from increased trade in the form of job cuts, the gains - lower prices for goods and more choice - were less visible. With global growth seen picking up to only 3.2 percent next year trimmed from 3.3 percent in June, Mann warned that would be too little to generate the jobs that youths expected and to respect pension promises to the elderly. “This is not a pretty picture for

global growth,” Mann said. “Across the board a three percent growth rate is insufficient to keep promises to citizens.” The OECD said that growth in the United States was in particular looking weaker than only a few months ago, forecasting growth in the world’s biggest economy at 1.4 percent this year, down from a forecast of 1.8 percent in June. Although that would be the weakest growth since the financial crisis

in 2009 and weaker than the euro zone’s 1.5 percent, the OECD said that the U.S. Federal Reserve should go ahead with an interest rate hike of a quarter percentage point. That would help keep asset prices from galloping ahead of growth in the real economy, potentially creating bubbles, Mann said as Fed policymakers prepared for a rate decision on Wednesday. Next year, the OECD sees U.S. growth picking up to 2.1 percent,

Haftar has so far opposed the U.N.-backed Government of National Accord (GNA), though the National Oil Corporation (NOC) welcomed a promise by his forces to allow the NOC to control the ports. The NOC said last week it would begin exports immediately from Ras Lanuf and Zueitina, and that it would start them as soon as possible from Es Sider. Exports have continued from Brega, the fourth port that was seized

down from 2.2 percent in its last forecasts from June. The OECD estimated the British economy would suffer less than initially feared as a result of a the vote in June to leave the European Union. It forecast British growth of 1.8 percent, up from 1.7 percent in June. However, it cut the outlook for 2017 by half to only 1.0 percent as uncertainty about Britain’s trading relationship with the European Union lingered.(rtr)

Nothing to see here: Southeast Asia flummoxed by haze study

JAKARTA — Indonesian, Malaysian and Singaporean authorities have dismissed research that smoky haze from catastrophic forest fires in Indonesia last year caused 100,000 deaths. Some even contend the haze caused no serious health problems, but experts say those assertions contradict wellestablished science.

In this Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2016 photo, people walk through a street in Kabukicho in Tokyo’s Shinjuku entertainment district. Japan’s central bank decided Wednesday, Sept. 21 to keep its monetary easing strategy mostly as is, while adjusting its asset purchases to push yields on long-term government bonds higher.

Libya exports first oil cargo from Ras Lanuf since 2014-port manager

BENGHAZI - An oil tanker left the Libyan port of Ras Lanuf for Italy early on Wednesday with the first crude export cargo from the terminal since at least late 2014, the port manager said. He said a second tanker was preparing to load at Ras Lanuf, one of four ports seized on Sept. 11-12 by eastern Libyan forces loyal to military leader Khalifa Haftar. Reopening Ras Lanuf for exports could be a major advance for the United Nations-backed government in Tripoli as it works to extend its

and that had remained open. Together, the ports have a capacity of nearly 800,000 barrels per day (bpd), though Ras Lanuf and Es Sider have been damaged in clashes and Brega has been operating at below its maximum capacity. Armed conflict and disputes have left Libya’s oil installations under the control of different factions and cut output to about 200,000 barrels per day (bpd) from the 1.6 million bpd it produced before an uprising toppled Muammar Gaddafi

in 2011. Haftar’s forces seized the ports from a rival armed group that had controlled them for more than two years, and fended off a counter attack on Sunday. Haftar, a former Gaddafi ally, is a deeply divisive figure whom many in western Libya suspect of plotting to take power nationally. Factions that support him have tried to export oil from eastern Libya independently, bypassing the NOC in Tripoli, though they have also allowed oil shipments for NOC Tripoli

to continue from the eastern port of Hariga. After Haftar’s forces seized the ports the U.S. and major European powers called for them to withdraw, cautioning that they would move to block any shipments that took place outside the authority of the GNA. The Seadelta tanker that left Ras Lanuf on Wednesday loaded with 700,000 barrels of crude and the second tanker that was preparing to load were both arranged before Haftar’s forces seized the ports.(ap)

Last year’s fires in Sumatra and the Indonesian part of Borneo were the worst since 1997, burning about 261,000 hectares of forests and peatland and sending haze across the region for weeks. Many were deliberately set by companies to clear land for palm oil and pulpwood plantations. The study in the journal Environmental Research Letters by Harvard and Columbia researchers estimated the amount of healththreatening fine particles, often referred to as PM2.5, released by the fires that burned from July to October and tracked their spread across Southeast Asia using satellite observations. In Indonesia, a spokesman for the country’s disaster mitigation agency said the research “could be baseless or they have the wrong information.” Indonesia officially counted 24 deaths from the haze including people killed fighting the fires. Singapore’s Ministry of Health

said short-term exposure to haze will generally not cause serious health problems. The study was “not reflective of the actual situation,” it said, and the overall death rate hadn’t changed last year. In Malaysia, Health Minister Subramaniam Sathasivam said officials are still studying the research, which is “computer generated, not based on hard data.” “People have died but to what extent the haze contributed to it, it’s hard to say,” he said. “If an 80-year-old fellow with high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problem and exposure to haze died, what did he die of? This is hell of a difficult question to answer.” The dry season fires are an annual irritant in Indonesia’s relations with its neighbors Singapore and Malaysia and the finding of a huge public health burden has the potential to worsen those strains. The 2015 burning season, which was worsened by El Nino’s dry conditions, also tainted Indonesia’s

reputation globally by releasing a vast amount of atmosphere-warming carbon. The Indonesian government has stepped up efforts to prosecute companies and individuals who set fires and also strengthened its firefighting response. This year’s fires have affected a smaller area in large part due to unseasonal rains. Jamal Hisham Hashim, research fellow with the International Institute for Global Health in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, said governments should not dismiss the study even if the estimated deaths are arguable. He said decades of air pollution research that followed London’s killer smog in 1952 has established the relationship between fine particulate matter and premature deaths, particularly in people with existing respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. “The pollution level that occurred during the haze is severe enough to cause premature deaths. That is indisputable,” he said. “The study is a wake-up call. We need to be shaken; we have become too complacent with the haze.” Joel Schwartz, an author of the study who is regarded by his peers as one of the world’s top experts on the health effects of air pollution,

said authorities in the affected countries have not offered any details of how they reached conclusions critical of the study. During the haze, Malaysia suffered air pollution at 10 times the level that the World Health Organization says causes premature deaths, he said, while Singapore’s claim that short-term exposure does not have serious effects is factually incorrect. The Singaporean statement that its death rate was unchanged from 2014 did not demonstrate anything, Schwartz said, due to a worldwide trend for declining mortality. The study’s premise is that deaths are higher than what they would be without the haze rather than a comparison to a particular year, he said. Separately, Singapore’s health ministry did not respond to a question on why heart disease and pneumonia, both of which can be bought to fatal conclusion by fine particle exposure, had increased as a percentage of deaths in 2015. Malaysia, meanwhile, does not measure PM2.5 in its air pollution index but has been planning to from next year. Half a dozen scientists with expertise in air pollution who reviewed the study for The As-

sociated Press said its methodology was sound and its conclusions reasonable. Some cautioned that the estimates of 91,600 deaths in Indonesia, another 6,500 in Malaysia and 2,200 in Singapore are invariably uncertain because aspects of the modeling rely on assumptions and the actual figures could be higher or lower. The study considered only the health impact on adults and restricts itself to the effects of fine particles rather than all toxins that would be in the smoke. Philip Hopke, director of the Center for Air Resources Engineering and Science at New York state’s Clarkson University, said air pollution studies have to overcome several challenges because “no one who gets sick or dies comes to the doctor or hospital with a clear label that says airborne particles or ozone did this.” Another problem is the studies typically assume that fine particles are the sole cause of illness or death but smoke from fires contains ozone and a variety of volatile compounds that would also affect health. “A major event like occurred here is extremely likely to have caused adverse health outcomes in terms of both sickness and deaths,” he said.(ap)

Protest erupts after police kill black man in North Carolina

CHARLOTTE - Protesters blocked a highway and clashed with police in Charlotte, North Carolina, early on Wednesday morning after officers fatally shot a black man they said had a gun when they approached him in a parking lot. About a dozen officers and several protesters suffered nonlife threatening injuries during an hours-long demonstration near where Keith Lamont Scott, 43, was shot by a policeman on Tuesday afternoon, police and local media said on social media. Early Wednesday morning, protesters blocked Interstate 85, where they stole boxes from trucks and started fires before police used flash grenades in an attempt to disperse the angry crowd, an ABC affiliate in Charlotte reported. A group of protesters then tried

to break into a Walmart store before police arrived and began guarding its front entryway, video footage by local media showed. Earlier in the evening, police in riot gear reportedly used tear gas on protesters who threw rocks and water bottles at them as they wielded large sticks and blocked traffic. One officer was sent to the hospital after being struck in the head by a rock, police said. Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts urged for calm. “The community deserves answers and (a) full investigation will

ensue,” she said on Twitter, adding in a subsequent post, “I want answers too.” Scott was shot by officer Brentley Vinson earlier in the day, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. The shooting occurred when officers were at an apartment complex searching for a suspect with an outstanding warrant and they saw Scott get out of his vehicle with a firearm, the department said. Vinson fired his weapon and struck Scott, who “posed an imminent deadly threat to the officers,” the department said in a statement. Vinson, who joined the Charlotte police force in July 2014, is black, according to the department. He has been placed on paid administrative leave. (rtr)

Brazil’s ex-president Lula to stand trial for corruption

SAO PAULO - Brazil’s former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will stand trial on corruption charges, a crusading federal judge ruled on Tuesday, adding more turbulence to the country’s political landscape. Judge Sergio Moro said that Lula, who served as president from 2003-11 and has for two decades been an iconic and powerful political force in Brazil, will face charges of accepting 3.7 million Brazilian reais ($1.14 million) in bribes connected to a sweeping kickback probe at state-run oil company Petrobras . Moro wrote in his ruling that according to the prosecutors’ charges, Lula was a “direct beneficiary” of bribes from OAS SA , one of the engineering and construction firms at the center of the graft scandal, and therefore must stand trial. The corruption case will also put on trial Lula’s wife, Marisa Leticia Lula da Silva; OAS Chief Executive Jose Aldemario “Leo” Pinheiro; Paulo Okamotto, the president of the Lula Institute, and

four others. In an emailed note late on Tuesday, Lula’s lawyers again said their client had committed no crime and labeled Moro as a “impartial” judge who was on a witch hunt to see the former leader jailed. Lula, speaking via video link, told an event held by his lawyers in New York that the charges were a “farce.” “What’s happening isn’t getting me down, but just motivates me to go out and talk more,” said Lula, adding that he “will keep fighting.” Tuesday’s events capped an incredibly choppy few weeks for Brazil. Lula’s hand-chosen successor Dilma Rousseff was found guilty by the Senate of breaking budget rules and dismissed from the presidency late last month. Her successor, former vice president Michel Temer, has abruptly pulled the country to the political and economic right, and is trying to boost Brazil out of its worst economic recession since the 1930s.

Russian aircraft believed to hit Syria convoy, U.S. officials say

UNITED NATIONS - The United States believes two Russian aircraft attacked an aid convoy near Aleppo in a strike that shattered a one-week truce, U.S. officials said on Tuesday, but Russia denied involvement. Despite the military blame game over Monday’s deadly attack, diplomats struggled to save the U.S.-Russian ceasefire agreement

that took effect on Sept. 12. The incident, in which 18 trucks from a 31-vehicle convoy were destroyed, looked likely to deal a death blow to diplomatic efforts to halt a civil war now in its sixth year. Two Russian Sukhoi SU-24 warplanes were in the skies above the aid convoy at the exact time it was struck late on

Monday, two U.S. officials told Reuters, citing U.S. intelligence that led them to conclude Russia was to blame. Russia’s foreign ministry spokeswoman denied the assertion, telling reporters at the United Nations the U.S. administration “has no facts” to support the claim, adding: “We have nothing to do with this situation.”

Ben Rhodes, a deputy U.S. national security adviser, said the White House held Russia responsible for what he called an “enormous humanitarian tragedy” but he did not address whether the attack was carried out by Russian aircraft. Earlier Russia, which denied its aircraft or those of its Syrian government allies were involved,

had said it believed the convoy was not struck from the air at all but had caught fire because of some incident on the ground. The Syrian Red Crescent said the head of one of its local offices and “around 20 civilians” had been killed, although other death tolls differed. The attack prompted the United Nations to suspend all aid shipments into Syria. (rtr)

Canada grabs semi-final spot with win over U.S.

TORONTO - Canada ended U.S. hopes of escaping the preliminary round of the World Cup of Hockey by thrashing their North American rivals 4-2 on Tuesday, clinching a semi-final berth for the hosts and Team Europe. After an upset loss to Europe in their tournament opener, the United States (0-2) came into the showdown with Canada (2-0) needing a win to keep alive hope of advancing out of Group A, upping the intensity level in an already heated rivalry several notches. But after opening the scoring, the U.S. surrendered four goals, including two in 14 seconds, dooming them to another early exit from a major international competition. “I thought we had a good start but gave them a couple of freebies and you just can’t do that,” said U.S. coach John Tortorella, who will have one more meaningless game in group play against the Czech Republic. “It’s disappointing, frustrating. I think we let some people down. It’s on my watch and I certainly feel responsible.” It was a day of rivalries at the World Cup as Finland and Sweden also faced off with the Tre Kronor claiming a 2-0 victory over the Finns behind the brilliant goaltending of Henrik Lundqvist, back in net after missing the opener with the flu. While Russia holds the status as traditional rival of both Canada and the United States, the bad blood fuelled by a Cold War and opposing political ideologies has long ago faded along with the much of the animosity.

The new Canada-U.S. rivalry has yet to produce a defining moment in a feud driven by a shared border and familiarity that has bred fierce contempt. Playing with desperation, the U.S. got on the scoreboard first with Ryan McDonagh banging home a loose puck for a 1-0 lead but Canada hit back almost immediately with a pair of goals just 14 seconds apart from Matt Duchene and Corey Perry. Duchene collected his second of the period when he found himself alone in front of the American net, putting a nifty move on Jonathan Quick before slipping the puck between the U.S. netminder’s pads. Patrice Bergeron had the only goal of the second period as Canada improved their lead to 4-1, while T.J. Oshie closed out the scoring with a late goal for the Americans. “There were times tonight that I didn’t think we were even close to being as good as we are capable of being,” said hard to please coach Mike Babcock, who steered Canada to gold medals at the Vancouver and Sochi Olympics. “But now we’re set up to play more games in the tournament, which is real positive. But we weren’t as good as we were capable of being,” he added. “Being Canadian, you’re greedy.” Lundqvist stopped all 36 shots he faced from a desperate Finland

Sp rt Sevilla go second in La Liga after controversial derby win

BARCELONA - Europa League holders Sevilla provisionally moved up to second in La Liga after winning a controversial local derby 1-0 at home to Real Betis on Tuesday. Argentina international Gabriel Mercado scored the winner with a close range finish in the 51st minute after a set piece. Betis thought they had equalised three minutes later when Alex Alegria tucked home a low Ruben Castro cross but it was wrongly ruled out for offside by referee Javier Estrada Fernandez. Sevilla have 11 points, one behind Real Madrid, who welcome Villarreal on Wednesday when third-placed champions Barcelona, on nine points, host Atletico Madrid, who have eight. Real Betis coach Gustavo Poyet did not hide his anger at the decision to rule out the ‘goal’, which came after his side were denied a penalty in

Friday’s 2-2 draw at home to Granada. “At the end of the day I’m the one responsible but this has to stop, this has to stop, there have been too many (decisions against Betis),” Poyet told BeIN Sports. BETTER GOAL

“These incidents decide seasons, they determine the day-to-day, my job and what people will say about the game tomorrow. “They (Sevilla) scored a goal because of one mistake, by a small margin, and we scored a much better goal that

The midfielder’s representative, Dimitri Seluk, recently said Guardiola humiliated his client by leaving him out of City’s squad for the Champions League group stage. That irritated Guardiola, who said that since then “Yaya is out.”

“I accept if Mr. Dimitri Seluk came in a press conference or (spoke to) his friends in the media — because he has not the courage to call me — and apologized to Manchester City, his teammates, and the trainer,” Guardiola said. “When that happens, Yaya will be part of the group and he will have the same chance to play all the games.” Until then, the 33-year-old Toure won’t be adding to his one appearance this season, a virtually dead match in the Champions League playoffs. He didn’t even make the substitutes’ bench for City’s other seven matches so far.

and when I have the chance I’ll show what I can do, because I know what I can do and it’s a lot for this team,” Fabregas told British media. Conte, who last week said Fabregas needed to improve defensively to earn a first-team place, praised the midfielder’s tactical awareness after the game.

“Cesc is an intelligent player, a clever player and he sees the game, he feels the situation. I’m pleased for him, because in the games when he didn’t start in the line-up he always had a great attitude,”

Conte said. Chelsea, who are fifth in the league standings with 10 points from the opening five games, make the short trip across London to face Arsenal on Saturday. (rtr)

Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli, whose side remain unbeaten in the league, said: “Apart from a few moments of friction, Sevilla were the much better team. “The game was tough because Betis did not try to play as much as we did. They didn’t have a shot in the first half and had one in the second, while we had 10 or 12.” Earlier, Malaga picked up their first win of the season, coming from behind to beat Eibar 2-1 at home.

Guardiola: Toure won’t play for City until agent apologizes MANCHESTER — Yaya Toure retired from international football with the Ivory Coast on Tuesday — and won’t be playing again for Manchester City either unless his agent apologizes for comments about club coach Pep Guardiola.

in 2010, Toure struggled for form last season and isn’t deemed fit enough by Guardiola to play City’s high-energy pressing game in the Spanish coach’s first season at Etihad Stadium. Guardiola previously coached Toure at Barcelona, and sold him to City. Now City coach, Guardiola has showed he is not afraid of taking on big personalities at the club, having also sent longtime goalkeeper Joe Hart on loan to Torino for the rest of the season. “I cannot imagine in my period when I was a football player (at Barcelona), my (agent) going to the media and speaking against (former Barca coach) Johan Cruyff, about this and about that,” Guardiola said. “Maybe it’s a new era now, the new period changing, but I’m an old guy. I am old generation, and (an) old-generation manager has to make his players his job and trainers his job.” Seluk is an outspoken agent, and even complained in 2014 that City showed Toure — a four-time African player of the year — a lack of respect by not giving him a cake

for his 31st birthday. “Today, (agents) believe they are more than they are,” Guardiola said. “If he has a problem call (director of football) Txiki Begiristain, the club, and they can talk. Until he doesn’t speak, Yaya is not going to play.” Seluk said he believes Guardiola should respect City’s history and called on the coach to also apologize to both Toure and Hart. Hours before Guardiola spoke out, Toure announced in a statement on his Twitter page that he would no longer play for Ivory Coast. He played 113 times for his country, captaining the Ivorians to the Africa Cup of Nations title last year. “The fact that I am 33 now, the intensity of training and the multitude of games are not the reasons why I am making this decision,” Toure wrote. “Football is everything to me, and it gave me so much in my career that I no longer feel able to set myself new goals as a player with the Elephants of Ivory Coast.” (ap)

FRANKFURT — Ousmane Dembele, the highly touted French teenager, scored his first Bundesliga goal for Borussia Dortmund in a 5-1 rout of Wolfsburg on Tuesday. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored two goals but it was Dembele’s goal that broke Wolfsburg’s resistance. The 19-year-old Dembele is considered one of the biggest talents in Europe and his goal in the 59th for a 3-1 lead came at the time when Dortmund was under pressure. Wolfsburg had just pulled a goal back and looked close to equalizing when Dembele struck. Raphael Guerreiro, another of Dortmund’s new signings who had scored the opening goal, fed substitute Gonzalo Castro with a through pass. Castro squared the ball to the onrushing Dembele for an easy finish. Dembele, who had lost possession in a couple of promising situations before the goal, appeared to be slightly offside when he scored, according to television replays. He also struck the post later in the game. Aubameyang brought his season total to four goals in four matches and Lukasz Piszczek added the fifth in the 73rd minute. Dortmund now has outscored its opponents 17-1 in its last three matches in all competitions. “Another bunch of goals,” Aubameyang said. “A good game, we are pleased. It was not easy at the start of the second half. If we keep playing like this, I don’t think anyone can hold us back.” Elsewhere, Eintracht Frankfurt won 2-0 in Ingolstadt, Hambrurger SV slipped to another defeat by going down 1-0 at Freiburg and Darmstadt clinched a late equalizer to salvage a 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim at home. Dortmund and Frankfurt pulled level on nine points with Bayern Munich and Hertha Berlin, which play each other on Wednesday. Guerreiro put Dortmund ahead in the fourth, slotting home after a through ball from Marc Bartra. Aubameyang scored his first in the 17th, after collecting a throw-in to slot inside the far post. Substitute Daniel Didavi scored in the 53rd as Wolfsburg stepped up the pressure at the start of the second half. And just as Wolfsburg was piling on the pressure, Dembele struck for the decisive lead.

“We played on another level today, Wolfsburg is stronger than the previous teams we’ve played,” Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel said. Germany striker Mario Gomez squandered several chances for Wolfsburg, including one from about one meter (yard) out, as his team lost its first match of the season. “We wasted too many chances,” Gomez said.

Sp rt Sevilla go second in La Liga after controversial derby win

BARCELONA - Europa League holders Sevilla provisionally moved up to second in La Liga after winning a controversial local derby 1-0 at home to Real Betis on Tuesday. Argentina international Gabriel Mercado scored the winner with a close range finish in the 51st minute after a set piece. Betis thought they had equalised three minutes later when Alex Alegria tucked home a low Ruben Castro cross but it was wrongly ruled out for offside by referee Javier Estrada Fernandez. Sevilla have 11 points, one behind Real Madrid, who welcome Villarreal on Wednesday when third-placed champions Barcelona, on nine points, host Atletico Madrid, who have eight. Real Betis coach Gustavo Poyet did not hide his anger at the decision to rule out the ‘goal’, which came after his side were denied a penalty in

Friday’s 2-2 draw at home to Granada. “At the end of the day I’m the one responsible but this has to stop, this has to stop, there have been too many (decisions against Betis),” Poyet told BeIN Sports. BETTER GOAL

“These incidents decide seasons, they determine the day-to-day, my job and what people will say about the game tomorrow. “They (Sevilla) scored a goal because of one mistake, by a small margin, and we scored a much better goal that

Cup hero Fabregas ready to step up for Chelsea

Midfielder Cesc Fabregas insists he can play a key role for Chelsea after scoring an extra-time brace to help the Blues knock Premier League champions Leicester City out of the League Cup on Tuesday. Fabregas has been on the fringes of new manager Antonio Conte’s Chelsea side since the start

The midfielder’s representative, Dimitri Seluk, recently said Guardiola humiliated his client by leaving him out of City’s squad for the Champions League group stage. That irritated Guardiola, who said that since then “Yaya is out.”

“I accept if Mr. Dimitri Seluk came in a press conference or (spoke to) his friends in the media — because he has not the courage to call me — and apologized to Manchester City, his teammates, and the trainer,” Guardiola said. “When that happens, Yaya will be part of the group and he will have the same chance to play all the games.” Until then, the 33-year-old Toure won’t be adding to his one appearance this season, a virtually dead match in the Champions League playoffs. He didn’t even make the substitutes’ bench for City’s other seven matches so far. City has won all eight games. “What do I need to apologize for?” Seluk told Sky Sports. “Guardiola wins a few games and he thinks he is king. “I don’t say anything special, and secondly, I live in a democratic country where I can say what I want.

Canada grabs semi-final spot with win over U.S.

TORONTO - Canada ended U.S. hopes of escaping the preliminary round of the World Cup of Hockey by thrashing their North American rivals 4-2 on Tuesday, clinching a semi-final berth for the hosts and Team Europe. After an upset loss to Europe in their tournament opener, the United States (0-2) came into the showdown with Canada (2-0) needing a win to keep alive hope of advancing out of Group A, upping the intensity level in an already heated rivalry several notches. But after opening the scoring, the U.S. surrendered four goals, including two in 14 seconds, dooming them to another early exit from a major international competition. “I thought we had a good start but gave them a couple of freebies and you just can’t do that,” said U.S. coach John Tortorella, who will have one more meaningless game in group play against the Czech Republic. “It’s disappointing, frustrating. I think we let some people down. It’s on my watch and I certainly feel responsible.” It was a day of rivalries at the World Cup as Finland and Sweden also faced off with the Tre Kronor claiming a 2-0 victory over the Finns behind the brilliant goaltending of Henrik Lundqvist, back in net after missing the opener with the flu. While Russia holds the status as traditional rival of both Canada and the United States, the bad blood fuelled by a Cold War and opposing political ideologies has long ago faded along with the much of the animosity.

The new Canada-U.S. rivalry has yet to produce a defining moment in a feud driven by a shared border and familiarity that has bred fierce contempt. Playing with desperation, the U.S. got on the scoreboard first with Ryan McDonagh banging home a loose puck for a 1-0 lead but Canada hit back almost immediately with a pair of goals just 14 seconds apart from Matt Duchene and Corey Perry. Duchene collected his second of the period when he found himself alone in front of the American net, putting a nifty move on Jonathan Quick before slipping the puck between the U.S. netminder’s pads. Patrice Bergeron had the only goal of the second period as Canada improved their lead to 4-1, while T.J. Oshie closed out the scoring with a late goal for the Americans. “There were times tonight that I didn’t think we were even close to being as good as we are capable of being,” said hard to please coach Mike Babcock, who steered Canada to gold medals at the Vancouver and Sochi Olympics. “But now we’re set up to play more games in the tournament, which is real positive. But we weren’t as good as we were capable of being,” he added. “Being Canadian, you’re greedy.” Lundqvist stopped all 36 shots he faced from a desperate Finland

team as he emphatically ended any concerns about a possible injury as the Swedes seized control of Group B.

Olympic sprinter Gay is entered in this week’s USA Bobsled National Push Championships, making him the latest track star to give sledding a try.

The 34-year-old will make his initial bid for a national team spot despite only pushing a sled for a “handful of days”, according to the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation. Gay was suspended from athletics for a year after testing positive for a banned substance in 2013, and was stripped of his 4x100 metres relay silver medal from the London Games. The 2007 triple world champion was part of the 4x100 relay team that was disqualified in the final at this year’s Rio Games.

Protest erupts after police kill black man in North Carolina

CHARLOTTE - Protesters blocked a highway and clashed with police in Charlotte, North Carolina, early on Wednesday morning after officers fatally shot a black man they said had a gun when they approached him in a parking lot. About a dozen officers and several protesters suffered nonlife threatening injuries during an hours-long demonstration near where Keith Lamont Scott, 43, was shot by a policeman on Tuesday afternoon, police and local media said on social media. Early Wednesday morning, protesters blocked Interstate 85, where they stole boxes from trucks and started fires before police used flash grenades in an attempt to disperse the angry crowd, an ABC affiliate in Charlotte reported. A group of protesters then tried

to break into a Walmart store before police arrived and began guarding its front entryway, video footage by local media showed. Earlier in the evening, police in riot gear reportedly used tear gas on protesters who threw rocks and water bottles at them as they wielded large sticks and blocked traffic. One officer was sent to the hospital after being struck in the head by a rock, police said. Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts urged for calm. “The community deserves answers and (a) full investigation will

ensue,” she said on Twitter, adding in a subsequent post, “I want answers too.” Scott was shot by officer Brentley Vinson earlier in the day, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. The shooting occurred when officers were at an apartment complex searching for a suspect with an outstanding warrant and they saw Scott get out of his vehicle with a firearm, the department said. Vinson fired his weapon and struck Scott, who “posed an imminent deadly threat to the officers,” the department said in a statement. Vinson, who joined the Charlotte police force in July 2014, is black, according to the department. He has been placed on paid administrative leave. (rtr)

Brazil’s former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva talks to the journalists during a press conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 15, 2016.

Brazil’s ex-president Lula to stand trial for corruption

SAO PAULO - Brazil’s former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will stand trial on corruption charges, a crusading federal judge ruled on Tuesday, adding more turbulence to the country’s political landscape. Judge Sergio Moro said that Lula, who served as president from 2003-11 and has for two decades been an iconic and powerful political force in Brazil, will face charges of accepting 3.7 million Brazilian reais ($1.14 million) in bribes connected to a sweeping kickback probe at state-run oil company Petrobras . Moro wrote in his ruling that according to the prosecutors’ charges, Lula was a “direct beneficiary” of bribes from OAS SA , one of the engineering and construction firms at the center of the graft scandal, and therefore must stand trial. The corruption case will also put on trial Lula’s wife, Marisa Leticia Lula da Silva; OAS Chief Executive Jose Aldemario “Leo” Pinheiro; Paulo Okamotto, the president of the Lula Institute, and

four others. In an emailed note late on Tuesday, Lula’s lawyers again said their client had committed no crime and labeled Moro as a “impartial” judge who was on a witch hunt to see the former leader jailed. Lula, speaking via video link, told an event held by his lawyers in New York that the charges were a “farce.” “What’s happening isn’t getting me down, but just motivates me to go out and talk more,” said Lula, adding that he “will keep fighting.” Tuesday’s events capped an incredibly choppy few weeks for Brazil. Lula’s hand-chosen successor Dilma Rousseff was found guilty by the Senate of breaking budget rules and dismissed from the presidency late last month. Her successor, former vice president Michel Temer, has abruptly pulled the country to the political and economic right, and is trying to boost Brazil out of its worst economic recession since the 1930s.

Russian aircraft believed to hit Syria convoy, U.S. officials say

UNITED NATIONS - The United States believes two Russian aircraft attacked an aid convoy near Aleppo in a strike that shattered a one-week truce, U.S. officials said on Tuesday, but Russia denied involvement. Despite the military blame game over Monday’s deadly attack, diplomats struggled to save the U.S.-Russian ceasefire agreement

that took effect on Sept. 12. The incident, in which 18 trucks from a 31-vehicle convoy were destroyed, looked likely to deal a death blow to diplomatic efforts to halt a civil war now in its sixth year. Two Russian Sukhoi SU-24 warplanes were in the skies above the aid convoy at the exact time it was struck late on

Monday, two U.S. officials told Reuters, citing U.S. intelligence that led them to conclude Russia was to blame. Russia’s foreign ministry spokeswoman denied the assertion, telling reporters at the United Nations the U.S. administration “has no facts” to support the claim, adding: “We have nothing to do with this situation.”

Ben Rhodes, a deputy U.S. national security adviser, said the White House held Russia responsible for what he called an “enormous humanitarian tragedy” but he did not address whether the attack was carried out by Russian aircraft. Earlier Russia, which denied its aircraft or those of its Syrian government allies were involved,

had said it believed the convoy was not struck from the air at all but had caught fire because of some incident on the ground. The Syrian Red Crescent said the head of one of its local offices and “around 20 civilians” had been killed, although other death tolls differed. The attack prompted the United Nations to suspend all aid shipments into Syria. (rtr)

BUSINESS OECD sees growth flounder as “globalisation stalls” PARIS - Global economic growth will flounder this year and next at rates not seen since the financial crisis as the march of globalisation grinds to a halt, the OECD warned on Wednesday. Long a motor for the global economy, trade growth is set to lag growth in the broader world economy this year, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development said in an update of its main economic forecasts. “This is well below past norms and implies that globalisation as measured by trade intensity may have stalled,” the Paris-based organisation said. As a result, the OECD estimated the global economy would muster growth of only 2.9 percent this year, down from a forecast of 3.0 percent in its last estimates in June and the lowest rate since the global financial crisis of 2008-2009. The OECD said many global supply chains that add economic value at each stage and are often rooted in China and other east Asian countries were unravelling as China sought to wean its economy off of exports for growth and some firms brought back production to their home countries. A growing backlash against trade liberalisation as well as recessions in some big commodityproducing countries were adding to the trade slowdown, which the OECD warned could erode already flagging productivity and thus ultimately living standards. “If we could get back on track with the kind of trade growth that we had in the 1990s and 2000s, we would be able to return to productivity growth rates prior to the financial crisis,” OECD chief

economist Catherine Mann told Reuters in an interview. “Productivity has basically fallen by half since the financial crisis and that is a recipe for breaking promises to all of our citizens,” she said. BROKEN PROMISES A backlash against trade has surged onto the political agenda of several countries facing elections in the coming months. U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump has campaigned hard to roll back trade liberalisation while Germany and other European countries saw tens of thousands of people protest on Saturday against planned free trade deals with the United States and Canada. Mann said that while voters could easily see losses from increased trade in the form of job cuts, the gains - lower prices for goods and more choice - were less visible. With global growth seen picking up to only 3.2 percent next year trimmed from 3.3 percent in June, Mann warned that would be too little to generate the jobs that youths expected and to respect pension promises to the elderly. “This is not a pretty picture for

global growth,” Mann said. “Across the board a three percent growth rate is insufficient to keep promises to citizens.” The OECD said that growth in the United States was in particular looking weaker than only a few months ago, forecasting growth in the world’s biggest economy at 1.4 percent this year, down from a forecast of 1.8 percent in June. Although that would be the weakest growth since the financial crisis

in 2009 and weaker than the euro zone’s 1.5 percent, the OECD said that the U.S. Federal Reserve should go ahead with an interest rate hike of a quarter percentage point. That would help keep asset prices from galloping ahead of growth in the real economy, potentially creating bubbles, Mann said as Fed policymakers prepared for a rate decision on Wednesday. Next year, the OECD sees U.S. growth picking up to 2.1 percent,

Haftar has so far opposed the U.N.-backed Government of National Accord (GNA), though the National Oil Corporation (NOC) welcomed a promise by his forces to allow the NOC to control the ports. The NOC said last week it would begin exports immediately from Ras Lanuf and Zueitina, and that it would start them as soon as possible from Es Sider. Exports have continued from Brega, the fourth port that was seized

down from 2.2 percent in its last forecasts from June. The OECD estimated the British economy would suffer less than initially feared as a result of a the vote in June to leave the European Union. It forecast British growth of 1.8 percent, up from 1.7 percent in June. However, it cut the outlook for 2017 by half to only 1.0 percent as uncertainty about Britain’s trading relationship with the European Union lingered.(rtr)

Nothing to see here: Southeast Asia flummoxed by haze study

JAKARTA — Indonesian, Malaysian and Singaporean authorities have dismissed research that smoky haze from catastrophic forest fires in Indonesia last year caused 100,000 deaths. Some even contend the haze caused no serious health problems, but experts say those assertions contradict wellestablished science.

Libya exports first oil cargo from Ras Lanuf since 2014-port manager

BENGHAZI - An oil tanker left the Libyan port of Ras Lanuf for Italy early on Wednesday with the first crude export cargo from the terminal since at least late 2014, the port manager said. He said a second tanker was preparing to load at Ras Lanuf, one of four ports seized on Sept. 11-12 by eastern Libyan forces loyal to military leader Khalifa Haftar. Reopening Ras Lanuf for exports could be a major advance for the United Nations-backed government in Tripoli as it works to extend its

and that had remained open. Together, the ports have a capacity of nearly 800,000 barrels per day (bpd), though Ras Lanuf and Es Sider have been damaged in clashes and Brega has been operating at below its maximum capacity. Armed conflict and disputes have left Libya’s oil installations under the control of different factions and cut output to about 200,000 barrels per day (bpd) from the 1.6 million bpd it produced before an uprising toppled Muammar Gaddafi

in 2011. Haftar’s forces seized the ports from a rival armed group that had controlled them for more than two years, and fended off a counter attack on Sunday. Haftar, a former Gaddafi ally, is a deeply divisive figure whom many in western Libya suspect of plotting to take power nationally. Factions that support him have tried to export oil from eastern Libya independently, bypassing the NOC in Tripoli, though they have also allowed oil shipments for NOC Tripoli

to continue from the eastern port of Hariga. After Haftar’s forces seized the ports the U.S. and major European powers called for them to withdraw, cautioning that they would move to block any shipments that took place outside the authority of the GNA. The Seadelta tanker that left Ras Lanuf on Wednesday loaded with 700,000 barrels of crude and the second tanker that was preparing to load were both arranged before Haftar’s forces seized the ports.(ap)

Last year’s fires in Sumatra and the Indonesian part of Borneo were the worst since 1997, burning about 261,000 hectares of forests and peatland and sending haze across the region for weeks. Many were deliberately set by companies to clear land for palm oil and pulpwood plantations. The study in the journal Environmental Research Letters by Harvard and Columbia researchers estimated the amount of healththreatening fine particles, often referred to as PM2.5, released by the fires that burned from July to October and tracked their spread across Southeast Asia using satellite observations. In Indonesia, a spokesman for the country’s disaster mitigation agency said the research “could be baseless or they have the wrong information.” Indonesia officially counted 24 deaths from the haze including people killed fighting the fires. Singapore’s Ministry of Health

said short-term exposure to haze will generally not cause serious health problems. The study was “not reflective of the actual situation,” it said, and the overall death rate hadn’t changed last year. In Malaysia, Health Minister Subramaniam Sathasivam said officials are still studying the research, which is “computer generated, not based on hard data.” “People have died but to what extent the haze contributed to it, it’s hard to say,” he said. “If an 80-year-old fellow with high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problem and exposure to haze died, what did he die of? This is hell of a difficult question to answer.” The dry season fires are an annual irritant in Indonesia’s relations with its neighbors Singapore and Malaysia and the finding of a huge public health burden has the potential to worsen those strains. The 2015 burning season, which was worsened by El Nino’s dry conditions, also tainted Indonesia’s

reputation globally by releasing a vast amount of atmosphere-warming carbon. The Indonesian government has stepped up efforts to prosecute companies and individuals who set fires and also strengthened its firefighting response. This year’s fires have affected a smaller area in large part due to unseasonal rains. Jamal Hisham Hashim, research fellow with the International Institute for Global Health in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, said governments should not dismiss the study even if the estimated deaths are arguable. He said decades of air pollution research that followed London’s killer smog in 1952 has established the relationship between fine particulate matter and premature deaths, particularly in people with existing respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. “The pollution level that occurred during the haze is severe enough to cause premature deaths. That is indisputable,” he said. “The study is a wake-up call. We need to be shaken; we have become too complacent with the haze.” Joel Schwartz, an author of the study who is regarded by his peers as one of the world’s top experts on the health effects of air pollution,

said authorities in the affected countries have not offered any details of how they reached conclusions critical of the study. During the haze, Malaysia suffered air pollution at 10 times the level that the World Health Organization says causes premature deaths, he said, while Singapore’s claim that short-term exposure does not have serious effects is factually incorrect. The Singaporean statement that its death rate was unchanged from 2014 did not demonstrate anything, Schwartz said, due to a worldwide trend for declining mortality. The study’s premise is that deaths are higher than what they would be without the haze rather than a comparison to a particular year, he said. Separately, Singapore’s health ministry did not respond to a question on why heart disease and pneumonia, both of which can be bought to fatal conclusion by fine particle exposure, had increased as a percentage of deaths in 2015. Malaysia, meanwhile, does not measure PM2.5 in its air pollution index but has been planning to from next year. Half a dozen scientists with expertise in air pollution who reviewed the study for The As-

sociated Press said its methodology was sound and its conclusions reasonable. Some cautioned that the estimates of 91,600 deaths in Indonesia, another 6,500 in Malaysia and 2,200 in Singapore are invariably uncertain because aspects of the modeling rely on assumptions and the actual figures could be higher or lower. The study considered only the health impact on adults and restricts itself to the effects of fine particles rather than all toxins that would be in the smoke. Philip Hopke, director of the Center for Air Resources Engineering and Science at New York state’s Clarkson University, said air pollution studies have to overcome several challenges because “no one who gets sick or dies comes to the doctor or hospital with a clear label that says airborne particles or ozone did this.” Another problem is the studies typically assume that fine particles are the sole cause of illness or death but smoke from fires contains ozone and a variety of volatile compounds that would also affect health. “A major event like occurred here is extremely likely to have caused adverse health outcomes in terms of both sickness and deaths,” he said.(ap)

Tainsiat hamlet holds festival graced with penjor contest

on September 20-21 in Catuspata or central intersection of Tainsiat and Mahabandana Prasada. “We give freedom to the youth in choosing materials according to their creativity, from palm leaves to the making of gebogan arrangement for the ornamental penjor made from young coconut leaf,” said Ngurah Gede. Assessment of the penjor contest is held at the Catuspata of Tainsiat, where people can see various works of penjor creativity made by young generation of Dangin Puri Kaja village. All the penjor works have been installed on day one before the implementation of the FPB Tainsiat and Mahabandana Prasada. It was followed by assessment and award conferment at the opening of the FPB Tainsiat. Based on the assessment, the first champion went to Tainsiat, the second to Bhuwana Sari and third to Lumbung Sari. Aside from penjor contest, there has been traditional sporting activity involving the youth known as the Omed-omedan Mabuletginting some time ago. “We’re giving appreciation to the youth of Dangin Puri Kaja village. Hopefully, they could improve their creativity through these activities and increase togetherness in facing development in Denpasar,” he said. (kmb12)

The direct promotion this time is involving colleagues from Garuda Indonesia cabin crew and Indonesian students becoming the ambassador of the Visit Wonderful Indonesia program from the Garuda Orient Holidays Korea (GOH Korea). General Manager of Garuda Indonesia to Korea Office, I Wayan Supatrayasa, conveyed that this activity is meant to reintroduce the beauty of Indonesia through dances and friendliness of our cabin crew denoting the world’s best cabin crew. The event was opened with the dances of Bali and Jakarta performed by female students of Indonesian in Korea and resumed with the presentation of gift away by Garuda Indonesia cabin crew to visitors. “We intentionally choose to hold this event during the day coinciding with the time break. In fact, it is highly acclaimed by potential travelers denoting the employees of the

companies located around the Seoul City. This direct promotion should continuously be undertaken on a regular basis in the very competitive destinations,” he said. In the Korean market, Indonesia is still ranked tenth as preferred destination. Indonesia is still below China, Japan, US, Thailand or the Philippines. “With the support and good cooperation with all tourism players, we have confidence to be a preferred destination for Korean travelers,” he said. Currently, Garuda Indonesia serves the Indonesia-Korea flight as much as 13 times a week by using Airbus A330 aircraft with a capacity of 36 seats of business class and 215 seats of economy class. “We serve Seoul-Jakarta route for 7 times week, while the Seoul-Denpasar is served for 6 times a week. Bali still becomes our mainstay in promoting Indonesia. Related to Yogyakarta

and Lombok destination, our sales figures have recorded an increase and the average travelers visiting Yogyakarta and Lombok have been to Bali before. We have prepared a special package to prospective travelers, especially for tour packages to Bali, Yogyakarta and Lombok,” he explained. He expressed that Bali is still a mainstay in promoting Indonesia and the destinations like Yogyakarta and Lombok also become an option for travelers who have been to Bali. “With our current schedule, Korean travelers wishing to spend vacation to Yogyakarta and Lombok are greatly facilitated because they can arrive on the same day as their departure from Korea,” said Supatrayasa. Direct support to the promotion activities was given by colleague from the Indonesian Embassy in Seoul, namely the Coordinator of Information and Socio-cultural Function Fuad Adriansyah and Coordinator of Consular Affairs, M. Aji Surya participating in distributing flyers about the beauty of Indonesia to prospective Korean travelers. (kmb18)

U.S. Forces Korea said the flight by a pair of B-1B Lancer strategic bombers based in Guam was a show of force and of U.S. commitment to preserve the security of the peninsula and the region. The United States, which has about 28,500 troops in South Korea, flew two B-1 bombers on Sept. 13 escorted by U.S. and South Korean fighter jets in a show of solidarity with Seoul. The North condemned the earlier flight as an armed provocation that mobilized “ill-famed nuclear killing tools”. It did not immediately respond to Wednesday’s flight. The U.S. Air Force said the Wednesday flight was the closest ever to North Korea by a B-1 bomber. “Today marks the first time the airframe has landed on the Korean peninsula in 20 years, as well as conducting the closest flight near North Korea ever,” the U.S. Air Force said on its website which also showed a B-1B bomber landing at the base in South Korea. The South’s Yonhap news agency said the aircraft flew over a U.S. live-fire training site in the Pocheon area bordering the North. North Korea has ignored global condemnation of its fifth nuclear test on Sept. 9, and this week said it had successfully tested a new rocket engine that would be used to launch satellites, again in violation of U.N. sanctions. The leaders of the United States and China, which is the North’s main diplomatic ally and economic benefactor, condemned the latest nuclear test and pledged to step up cooperation at the United Nations and in law enforcement channels.

Trump scores with small money, lags with big donors

NEW YORK - U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been a hit with small donors, raking in two-thirds of his individual campaign contributions

in sums of $200 or less, according to financial disclosures filed on Tuesday. But with the big-money donor class, the players Trump blasted

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump takes the stage for a rally with supporters in Kenansville, North Carolina, U.S. September 20, 2016.

during the primary season as greedy influence peddlers, the celebrity businessman has fallen short of expectations, the disclosures filed with the federal government showed. Trump took in 65 percent of his total $75 million in individual campaign contributions from people who pitched in $200 or less, but Super PAC contributions fell short of expectations. Great America PAC, the proTrump Super PAC led by Republican operative Ed Rollins, said in July it expected to pull in more than $20 million by now. Instead, it has raised just $11 million, according to the latest campaign finance disclosures. In a similar fashion, a pro-Trump Super PAC kicked off by Los Angeles real estate investor Tom Barrack, Rebuilding America Now, said in June it had $32 million in fundraising commitments. But it received just over $2 million that month. A spokesperson

for the Super PAC says it has now raised $18 million. It will not file its next report until October 15. The Republican kingmaker who was expected to be Trump’s single biggest backer, casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, has scaled back his initial pledge of $100 million, made in a private meeting with Trump in May, to just $5 million, according to two associates close to Adelson familiar with the matter.

CLINTON FINANCES Democrat Hillary Clinton, who will face Trump in the Nov. 8 election, has received about a quarter of her campaign donations from people who contributed $200 or less - $71 million out of a total of $289 million, according to disclosures. Among the biggest backers to the pro-Clinton Super PAC, Priorities USA, were Donald Sussman, president of Paloma Partners Advisors, Inc, George Soros, chairman of Soros Fund Management, and Daniel Abraham, executive at SDA

Enterprises. Clinton’s money advantage will help her fund ad campaigns and get-out-the-vote efforts in the final stretch the 2016 election. She leads Trump by 4 percentage points nationally, according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll. Together, Clinton’s campaign and Super PAC have raked in a total of $520 million. By comparison, Trump’s campaign and two Super PACs backing him have brought in a combined $200 million. Super PACs can raise unlimited money for candidates as long as they don’t directly coordinate with the campaign. The latest filings, which cover spending through August 31, showed a big increase in Trump’s spending, with $30 million in disbursements, more than any month so far. They also provided further insight into the stark differences between the two candidates’ operations. (rtr)

Just going on vacation may change gene activity

IN a new study comparing a meditation retreat with just relaxing in the same locale, both options improved stress regulation, immune function and other cellular markers in the blood. Researchers measured gene activity, blood markers and reported wellbeing during the vacation and months afterward, and found a large and immediate “vacation effect” in all participants. For those who continued meditating, benefits were seen even 10 months later. “Vacation in a relaxing, resortlike environment takes you away from your day-to-day grind, which may be high stress in which your body is in a more defensive-like posture, with pressures to meet deadlines, dealing with angry customers, ‘battling’ with colleagues for resources to accomplish your mission or whatever,” said senior author Dr. Eric Schadt, founding director of the Icahn Institute for Genomics and Multiscale Biology at Mount Sinai in New York. “On a relaxing vacation you allow your body to get out of that defensive posture, reduce your levels of stress which in turn affects the states of cells that are involved in your immune system,” he said. At the molecular level, addi-

tional changes only happened, or happened more, in the meditation group, including more effective manufacture and use of proteins, he noted. “We don’t know what this means exactly, but given associations with biomarkers of aging, there is the potential that these changes could enhance overall wellbeing and longevity,” Schadt told Reuters Health by email. The researchers enrolled 102 women ages 30 to 60 in the study and tested their blood before and after five days at the La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California. Some women were participating in a meditation and yoga retreat while others were simply staying at the resort and not taking part in yoga or meditation training. About a third of the women had already booked the retreat and were regular meditators, while the remaining 70 had no history of meditating. Half of the nonmeditators were randomly assigned to the yoga/meditation program

and the other half were randomly assigned to vacation only. In addition to providing blood samples before and after the retreat, the women reported on their depression symptoms, stress, vitality and mindfulness on day five, one month later and 10 months later. Psychological wellbeing scores improved for all three groups by day five and one month later. At the 10-month point, women who had meditated during the retreat had greater decreases in depressive symptoms and stress than those who had only been on vacation, according to the results reported in Translational Psychiatry. Gene expression changes and aging biomarkers in blood samples had improved significantly for all groups at the end of the retreat, indicating benefits from simply being on vacation. In addition, women who were already regular meditators had higher activity of telomerase, an enzyme that repairs and fortifies the tips of chromosomes. Telomeres get shorter and shorter as we age. Vacation and meditation seemed to turn down defense responses, inflammation response and innate immune response, Schadt said. (rtr)

Free from anthrax disease

Bali cattle to be bred in Nusa Penida

SEMARAPURA - Excellence of Nusa Penida cattle being free from anthrax in fact gets the attention from central government. Through the Ministry of Agriculture, the central government issued a decree so that Bali cattle breeding will be centered in the area of Nusa Penida. This decision is positively responded by the Regent of Klungkung, I Nyoman Suwirta. However, Regent Suwirta requested it should not just be a slogan used to be fun and proud for a moment.

Infants who get a taste of eggs and peanuts starting when they’re as young as 4 months old may have a lower risk of developing allergies to those foods than babies who try them later.

Giving babies eggs and nuts early may avert allergies

INFANTS who get a taste of eggs and peanuts starting when they’re as young as 4 months old may have a lower risk of developing allergies to those foods than babies who try them later, a research review suggests. With eggs, giving babies that first spoonful between 4 and 6 months was associated with 46 percent lower odds of egg allergies than waiting to introduce this food later. For peanuts, offering infants a sample between 4 and 11 months was associated with 71 percent lower odds of peanut allergies than waiting longer. These findings suggest that for most babies, eggs and peanuts should be among their first foods, said senior study author Dr. Robert Boyle, a pediatric allergy researcher at Imperial College London. But that’s not what many doctors recommend, he said. Feeding guidelines have moved away from telling parents to avoid introducing some foods that can cause allergies until kids are 2 or 3 years old, but most recommendations still stop short of urging parents to give babies eggs and peanuts early in life.

“Infant feeding advice may need to change,” Boyle said by email. To see how the timing of babies’ introduction to certain allergenic foods influences their risk of allergies, Boyle and colleagues reviewed data from 146 studies published over the past 70 years. When 5.4 percent of the population has egg allergies, early introduction could avoid 24 cases for every 1,000 people, a review of data from five of those studies with 1,915 participants found. For peanuts, when about 2.5 percent of the population has allergies, early introduction could avoid 18 cases for every 1,000 people, a review of data 1,550 participants found. Researchers didn’t find enough evidence to determine whether early introduction of fish might reduce the likelihood of allergies in general and nasal allergies in particular. They also looked at whether giving babies gluten, a protein in wheat, rye and barley, early might increase the risk of celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that damages the small intestine and interferes with the absorption of nutrients from food. (rtr)

“This breeding center should really be materialized for the welfare of the community, especially Nusa Penida,” said Regent Suwirta when serving as a speaker at the Seminar and Workshop entitled Development of Nusa Lembongan Region for Bali Cattle-based Agro- Ecotourism” at Nusantara Building of the Udayana University Campus in Denpasar, Monday (Sep. 19). This regent from Ceningan, Nusa Penida, said that Minister of Agriculture issued the Decree No. 348/2016 on Nusa Penida region as the source of Bali cattle because the Bali cattle primarily the one in Nusa Penida are truly recognized to have advantage as being free from anthrax disease. Besides, Bali cattle almost have equivalent meat quality to the famous imported meat known to be chewy and savory. Bali cattle have been registered as a source of germplasm asset of Indonesia. On that account, the regent requested it is no need to think twice. The ministerial decision must be supported by all parties so that Nusa Penida region actually becomes the source featured cattle. Moreover, Klungkung district will focus on the Nusa Penida cattle breeding which aims to realize the public welfare. “If calves can be sold at a higher price, it will certainly increase the income of farmers so that eventually empty out into the welfare of farmers in particular and community in general,” he said. Regent Suwirta also looked forward to all parties, academician and Udayana University in order to seriously provide the study on the “Development of Nusa Lembongan Region for Bali Cattle-based AgroEcotourism” so that the failure of the trial will not happen again. “The government of Klungkung seriously escorts the Decree of the Minister of Agriculture on Nusa Penida region as the source of Bali cattle so that it can be truly realized,” said Regent Suwirta. The seminar was conducted by the Center for Bali Cattle Study (PKSB) in collaboration with the University of Udayana Denpasar, the government of Klungkung, Indonesian Veterinarian Association (PDHI) of Bali. This seminar is held in the framework of Nusa Lembongan Development as Bali Cattle-based Agro-Ecotourism. It took place on September 19-20 at the Nusantara Building of the Udayana University, Denpasar. (kmb)

Manuscript conservation costs can be taken from BKK or LPD aids

DENPASAR - So far, the extension officers of Balinese language have managed to record 8,370 palm-leaf manuscripts across this Island of the Gods. Of that total number, 2,562 pieces are in untreated or damaged condition. In the meantime, the remaining numbers are in preserved condition or they can be read but require further conservation. Moreover, the manuscripts are extraordinary richness, where some of them carry astrology, spells, philosophy, traditional healing and rooster manual guide to black magic or pengleakan. “After the manuscripts were found, first of all, at least they are conserved or cleaned in order not to be gobbled by insects and prevent them from being damaged. Secondly, they should be digitized or copied to a new palm-leaf,” said Chairman of Commission IV, I Nyoman Parta, responding to the

findings of the Balinese language extension officers in Denpasar, Monday (Sep. 9). Parta added that the cost for conservation and digitization can be drawn from the special financial assistance (BKK). At certain villages, the conservation efforts of the manuscripts can also be financed by social funds of rural credit agency (LPD). “Actually it depends whether we consider it important or not. If we consider it important, our LPD throughout Bali can finance it. It must be borne in mind that one of the objectives to establish the LPD is to preserve Balinese customs, Hinduism and culture,” he explained. Parta argued that intact palmleaf manuscripts should be rescued from being damaged so that they are unlike thousands of other manuscripts. The rescue effort can also

be carried out with the manuscript reading. The more frequently read, the better preserved it will be. “Everywhere, the palm-leaf manuscript can still look good because they are often read. When being read, we will have the intention to clean up and maintain. Besides, they are presented with offerings on specific days like full moon, new moon or Sarasvati. Conversely, if they are never read and made sacred, they are finally damaged,” he said. When confirmed separately, the Head of the Bali Culture Agency, Dewa Putu Beratha, said the government cannot conserve directly the manuscripts of the community without there is a demand for the conservation from community owning the manuscripts. As happened in Buleleng, there are people that have handed over their palm-leaf manuscripts to the

Culture Agency because they are not able to take care of theirs. “In Gianyar, there are also people submitting a letter to the Culture Agency to conserve 25 manuscripts while in Klungkung a total of 50 manuscripts need conserving. Those manuscripts are owned by the community and we cannot enter without receiving any request from them,” he said. Beratha continued that the conservation cost is actually not expensive. The ingredients used to clean up the manuscripts are quite simple such as citronella oil, alcohol of above 90 percent and tissues. When the writing in the palm-leaf manuscripts is somewhat vague, it is only required roasted hazelnut. “There is misunderstanding where people store palm-leaf manuscripts in wooden box. Actually wood is easily eaten by termites so that most manuscripts are dam-

aged. All the manuscripts will be safe if stored in a glass cabinet with aluminum. The temperature should also be maintained between 20-23 degrees centigrade. In a cool area, it should be given sufficient lighting,” he added. Unfortunately, continued Beratha, apparently not all the Balinese language extension officers expected to provide knowledge for people have the competence to maintain or conserve manuscripts. On that account, it will be scheduled to provide them with such skills. “If the extension officers have such capability, their work will not only record, question and make data collection any longer. However, we expect them to help people conserve their manuscripts. It is a pity that graduates of Balinese language have no knowledge about manuscript conservation,” he explained. (kmb32)

“Hopefully, subak can become a solution for irrigation problems in other countries. It is especially for the countries having relied on agriculture,” she added. Coordinator of Social Democracy in Asia, Marie Chris Cabreros, said that local knowledge existing in society should continue to be grown. By that way, the local wisdom can be instilled in every aspects of life. Unfortunately, the local knowledge commonly very interesting is often forgotten to be

discussed. “The economic and political pillars have often been discussed. But there is something forgotten when talking about culture. We forget about local wisdom whether it is related to the art, music or paddy field cultivation. Necessarily, they become fascinating and grow deeply in the community,” she said accompanied by the Coordinator of the Progressive Alliance, Konstantin Woinoff. Participants of the seminar from the PDI-P Bali, A.A. Ngurah Adhi Ardhana, said the government in Bali actually has

made the protection against cultural values and even religious values on the Island of the Gods. The protection is applied into regulations made by the executive and legislative. One of them is related to customary village, subak and others. “We have made some rules, but it will highly depend on the implementation because they still need strengthening. In other words, the support of community and supervision from the legislative is necessary,” said this member of the Bali House of Representatives. (kmb32)

As a result, the piles of rubbish line at roadside and generate stench that can disturb residents.

As seen on Tuesday afternoon, the piles of rubbish of ceremony could be found at a number of points on Jalan Serma Derya, Blahbatuh. Actually, there have been two waste containers in the area, but apparently they were not enough to accommodate so the rubbish spilled onto the roadside. More severe condition was found on Jalan Kapten Japa, Blahbatuh. At that location, the piles of rubbish were allowed to continuously accumulate and lined at the roadside along five meters. Unavoidably, they were complained by a number of residents. Other than generating stanch, if they are left the condition will be very disturbing aesthetics. “Stench of the rubbish at the roadside is very prominent. Besides, it will interfere with the aesthetics and health because it is in rainy season and can potentially brings in dengue fever and other diseases,” said Wayan Dana, a resident who is crossing at the location. In the meantime, headman of Blahbatuh, A.A. Ngurah Kapidada, when asked for his confirmation could not dismiss the piles of rubbish in the area. He explained that such condition happened due to some factors, such as the sanitation fleet of Blahbatuh village is also taking day off during holiday. “A fleet is handled by local officers. Coinciding with this feast day, they also take day off but last Monday they should have started working,” he said. He explained that another reason for the accumulating volume of the waste is also caused by the densely populated area of Blahbatuh whose population reaches 1,900 families. “In addition to population density, geographically we have two markets. This condition also has an impact on the high production of waste,” he said. Waste Division Head of the DKP Gianyar, Made Suwastika, previously said that the increase in the volume of waste in Gianyar after religious celebration could reach 25 to 30 percent. “On normal days, the volume of waste in Gianyar reaches 500 cubic meters, but after Galungan and Kuningan experiences an increase to 650 cubic meters and even more,” he said with permission of the Head of the DKP Gianyar, I Wayan Kujus Pawitra. Apart from being handled by the DKP Gianyar, waste problem is also assisted independently by each village. Until now, a total of 25 independent waste management units have participated in handling waste problem in Gianyar. “The waste transported by the DKP Gianyar officers or independent officers has been entirely delivered to Temesi landfill,” he said.

Bali can become inspiration of the world

LOS ANGELES - Actress Angelina Jolie has filed for a divorce from actor Brad Pitt, her husband of two years and romantic partner since 2005, her attorney said on Tuesday, signaling the end of one of Hollywood’s most glamorous and powerful couples. “This decision was made for the health of the family. She will not be commenting, and asks that the family be given its privacy at this time,” attorney Robert Offer said in a statement. The Oscar-winning actress filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, citing irreconcilable differences, court documents showed. Jolie sought full physical custody of their six children ages 8 to 15 with visitation rights for Pitt but did not seek spousal support. Jolie cited their separation date as Sept. 15. “I am very saddened by this but what matters most now is the wellbeing of our kids,” Pitt told People magazine. “I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time.” Jolie and Pitt, known collectively as “Brangelina,” were one of the entertainment world’s most visible couples, due to their good looks, successful films and activism. They married in 2014 after a decade together. Their relationship was steady fodder for tabloids with reports focusing on what role Jolie played in the breakup of Pitt’s marriage to actress Jennifer Aniston and, more

Actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie attend the premiere of “The Normal Heart” in New York May 12, 2014. recently, possible trouble in the marriage. Media commentators reacted with surprise and sadness to the news. “Today shall go down as the day love died,” Vogue magazine said in an online report on the couple’s split. Social media buzzed with #brangelina mentioned roughly 720 times per minute on Twitter, more than triple mentions for the United Nations General Assembly, according to analytics firm Zoomph. Jolie, 41, who won a best-supporting actress Oscar for “Girl, In-

terrupted” in 2000, was previously married to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton. Pitt, 52, was married to Aniston in 2003 when he and Jolie filmed “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” the story of assassins unknowingly assigned to kill each other. There were reports of an affair, but Jolie told Vogue they were only “very, very good friends” until Pitt and Aniston split in 2005. Before their August 2014 wedding at their French estate, Jolie and Pitt had said they would not wed until same-sex couples were allowed to marry. (rtr)

Rescuers search through debris for victims in a village badly hit by a flash flood in Garut, West Java, Indonesia, Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016. Torrential rains triggered floods and landslides on the main island of Java, killing a number villagers and forcing about 1,000 others to take shelter at military barracks or other temporary shelters, an official said Wednesday.

MANGUPURA - Bali is known by world community for its cultural uniqueness. Culture also makes Bali one of the best tourist destinations in the world. It is the culture that has caused Bali to own a different ‘color’ and this certainly needs to be protected and maintained. It is not quite on the opposite, considering culture as a burden. “Local wisdom is not then becoming an oldfashioned thing, but what preserved by Balinese people can be an inspiration for other parts of the world. Do not consider culture as a burden,” said a member of parliament from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, Diah Pitaloka, amid the International Conference of Progressive Alliance at Legian, Badung. Diah cited that one of the cultures and local wisdoms owned by Bali is subak or irrigation cooperative. Traditional irrigation system in the agricultural sector is considered to have the capability of inspiring the world. That is why the closing of the International Conference of Progressive Alliance held by the PDI-P was also filled with the visit to a subak area. Participants from dozens of countries around the world were accidentally introduced to subak having been recognized by the UNESCO as world’s cultural heritage. Heritage... Continued on page 2

Flash floods in Indonesia kill 20; rescuers hunt for missing

GARUT - Indonesian search and rescue teams worked on Wednesday to find victims of flash floods that killed 20 people and damaged hundreds of homes, authorities said. The floods hit the Garut area, about 200 km (125 miles) southeast of the capital, Jakarta, on Tuesday after torrential rain. “We’ve reported that we found 20 bodies and we’ve identified 15 of them,” said Endah Trisnawati, a

member of a police disaster victims identification unit. It was not clear how many peo-

ple were missing but some officials in the area said it could be up to 15. Some media reported 20 people were unaccounted for. Authorities said search and rescue operations would go on. Military personnel and volunteers helped evacuate about 1,000 residents of the area. De-

bris floated in gradually receding floodwater in inundated villages and there appeared to be widespread damage to vehicles and buildings. Flash floods and landslides are common in Indonesia, often caused by heavy rain at this time of year. (rtr)
