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)

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)
