Alicia Vikander will play Lara Croft in new Tomb Raider film

LOS ANGELES - She’s following in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie who starred in the first two adaptations of the game series more than 10 years ago.

There have been rumours of a sequel for years, with various Hollywood actresses linked to play the archaeologist-adventurer.

Daisy Ridley, Emilia Clarke, Cara Delevigne and Gemma Arterton were all front runners, according to reports. In February, Alicia won the best supporting actress Oscar for her role in The Danish Girl, opposite Eddie Redmayne.

She’s also been in Ex Machina and she’s recently finished filming alongside Matt Damon in Jason Bourne, which is out later this year.

Lara Croft first hit our screens in 1996 when Tomb Raider was released on PlayStation and PC. It’s since gone on to sell more than 45 million games around the world. Lara is one of the most famous faces in the gaming world with her brown ponytail, turquoise tank top and dual pistols.

And she became the first female character to make it onto the big screen. Three years ago the iconic game was re-booted with the director explaining to Newsbeat that he was “reimagining Tomb Raider for a modern

audience”.

He went on to say he wanted to give Lara “a well of emotional depth”, which is something Alicia will now be tasked with.

Vikander won an Oscar for her performance in “The Danish Girl,” and also

Prince’s motorcycle jacket from ‘Purple Rain’ film on auction CALIFORNIA - A motorcycle jacket worn by the late pop star Prince in his 1984 film “Purple Rain,” when he rides through the woods with the movie’s leading lady, Apollonia, will be sold at auction, the company behind the sale said on Friday.

The V-neck jacket, which is black with white cross-hatching and has leather sleeves from the elbows down, will be presented for sale in Profiles in History’s auction between June 29 and July 1 in Calabasas, California.

Brian Chanes, who handles client relations at Profiles in History, said the auction house received the

WEATHER FORECAST 23 - 32 Dps

jacket about six weeks ago, before the musician’s unexpected death on April 21 at age 57.

Officials from the company had estimated the jacket would sell for between $6,000 and $8,000, but that was before Prince’s death, which drew an outpouring of tributes for the seven-time Grammy-winner from President Barack Obama, Hollywood figures and fans worldwide.

“Now, all bets are off,” Chanes said, adding that the jacket could fetch more than $100,000.

Profiles in History officials said few items of Prince memorabilia have ever been offered for sale.

The jacket was given to a makeup artist for Prince and Apollonia Kotero, a singer who starred as the pop star’s girlfriend in the 1984 film “Purple Rain,” and the make-up artist’s sister is the consignor for the sale, said Jeff Hare, a spokesman for Profiles in History.

The auction will be open to participants worldwide through the Internet, the company said.

Prince’s death at his home called Paisley Park near Minneapolis is under investigation by officials in Minnesota, but they have said there is no indication of suicide or physical trauma. (rtr)

Keeping cultural heritage with ‘Green Hotel’ concept

VIRTUALLY there is an encouraging phenomenon for tourism business in Bali when seeing the tendency of travelers that chooses eco-friendly products. With this change, Bali having long maintained the valuable heritage of customs, culture and traditions can be an option to be visited by more travelers. The government policy to encourage tourism businesses is by applying the green hotel concept as an effort to maintain the cultural heritage owned by this island of a thousand temples.

One of the speakers in the focus group discussions (FGD) of wonderful Indonesia on Thursday (Apr. 28) was Dr. Ketut Sumadi. This member of green hotel assessor team and Director of Graduate Program of

the IHDN Denpasar said that green hotel philosophy provides a deep understanding on the practices of local culture that can be enjoyed by travelers.

In this global era, there is a tendency for international community where they want to understand about other cultures through travel. The tourism sought after in this case is the destination that develops cultural tourism.

The government policy to promote the establishment of green hotel is in

line with the wishes of the contemporary travelers. As a matter of fact, the development of cultural tourism is basically to encourage the utilization of local production, maintain cultural values, norms, customs and religions as well as have orientation in natural and social aspect.

He said that globalization provides the opportunities for the rise of local cultural identities (local genius) worldwide. Local genius is part of the local wisdom having been selected, tested, and having very superior

quality locally and universally, so that it does not only play an important role for the formation of identity and pride, but also for the potential of development of competency both across the regions and across cultures.

In the meantime, the other speakers, Prof. Dr. Putu Rumawan Salain, explained more about the development of Balinese architecture, including the application in the tourism sector. The emergence of green hotel concept these days, he said, is a new paradigm that does not mean that hotel should be roofed or just painted green. However, the concept of green hotel here has a broader meaning and includes the overall architecture of the building and the surroundings.

This lecturer of the Faculty of Engineering at the Udayana University

revealed that architecture does not know which is right or wrong, but there is only the good and bad. On that account, it needs to be set by regulation. Moreover, many Balinese architectural elements are influenced by architectural styles of other country. All this time, the architecture in Bali, he said, knows four concepts of architecture, namely the Balinese traditional, local architecture, heritage (temple) architectural as well as nontraditional Balinese architecture.

“This widely happens today.

Except for the building of the Bali Hotel on Jalan Veteran, I categorize it into a heritage architectural. It was built during the colonial era. So, if the building is dismantled, after that it must be built up again as before,” he hoped. (ara)

The Head of Buleleng Culture and Tourism Agency Drs. Nyoman Sutrisna, MM

SINGARAJA—The Head of the Buleleng Culture and Tourism Agency, Nyoman Sutrisna, assessed the potential owned by coastal areas of Lovina, Kalibukbuk village neighborhood, has an interesting marine life. Domestic and foreign tourist visits come after another to enjoy the natural beauty of Lovina.

He said the preserved potential of Lovina includes the marine biota and maritime culture. “Known to

have a maritime culture, it is rich in various attraction like fishermen dance, spinning top play, bull race and kite cutting. Marine preservation is done through the development of tourism coral reefs where one of them is applying undersea biorock technology,” said Sutrisna to Bali Post in Singaraja, recently.

In the future, Sutrisna is going to develop a marina based on the capability owned by the government. The marina develop-

ment is meant to improve human resources of fishermen of coastal areas and visitors to Lovina. “We mean to develop a kind of sea transportation like a traditional cruise ship in the future. This can improve human resources, so that the tool developed by the community can function accordingly.

Griya Santrian Celebrates Their 44th anniversary

SANUR – Griya Santrian celebrates its 44th anniversary on Sunday (1/5). In celebration of the anniversary, GM Griya Santrian, IB Gede Sidharta Putra had expressed his thoughts related to the intense competition in Bali.

He said the development of tourism in Sanur is inseparable from the existence of a local hotel since the 60s. The presence of the Bali Beach around 1968 brought considerable changes in the tourism industry, but doesn’t change the culture and spirituality of Sanur.

Only, this time, he judged, the competition in the hospitality industry increasingly tight and uncontrollably. The uncontrolled addition of hotel rooms creates less hotel occupancy.

Even the hospitality industries are now being cornered by many government policies, ranging from taxation, licensing to copyright.

“A local hotel pitted in the free competition of modern industry with large-cap industry,” he said.

Griya Santrian is one hotel that operates after the Bali Beach Hotel. Originally named Santrian Beach Cottages (SBC) but turned into Griya Santrian.

The hotel became the forerunner of several hotels such as Puri Santrian and Royal Santrian.

The hotel became one of hotels that able to exist and flourish in the onslaught of international hotel brand.

Griya Santrian, which is part of the Santrian Corporation is one of the local ownership Bali hotel with first-established in Sanur. The hotel was first opened to guests in Sanur on May 1, 1972.

He said in order to celebrate its anniversary, Griya Santrian will organize several activities to take back its role as one of the pioneers of the hospitality and tourism industry in Bali.

Ideal located in the center of Sanur, a hotel with 128 rooms, it has a beautiful beach resort as icons. After operating for 44 years, the standard of service that is warm and genuine Balinese nuances increasingly

become the inspiration for the hospitality industry in Bali.

The man that casually called Gusde revealed that as one of the iconic hotels in Sanur, Griya Santrian became historical overview of the development of society and the business of Sanur travel. “This is a truly memorable year for us, in memory of our past, but still moving forward to welcome the future, as one of the best resorts, just like when we first opened our doors to guests in 1972,” he said.

From the first opening of the hotel, Griya Santrian is already running various community and social programs to promote the Sanur community, including holding annual Sanur Village Festival. It is also involved in environmental conservation program, and invites the community to support the Bali tourism industry and promote local economy.

Griya Santrian is in the process of updating the deluxe rooms that look fresher and open a new spa villa; Rama Sita Spa Villas. (kmb18)

Albania hopes to lure tourists with Communist nuclear bunker

TIRANA — Who doesn’t want to see a formerly topsecret Communist nuclear bunker?

A facility that was designed to keep Albania running after a nuclear attack is the latest relic of the country’s dark Communist past that is being reinvented as a modern tourist attraction.

In its swords-to-ploughshares drive, the Socialist government has already announced plans to open an island fortress to tourists and auction off the country’s decrepit Soviet and Chinese fighter jets.

The small Balkan nation has no end of useless military installations and weaponry, a legacy of the paranoid, isolationist regime that ruled it with an iron fist for about 50 years after the end of World War II. Fearing invasion by a host of imaginary enemies — imperialists, social-imperialists (as other Communist countries deemed ideologically unsound were termed) or restless, land-hungry neighbors — Albania’s regime had about 700,000 concrete bunkers of all sizes built across the country.

A quarter-century after the Communists’ fall, most are still there, the bigger ones serving as sheep barns, bars, restaurants, public toilets, love nests for furtive couples or even as homes.

The queen of them all — a secret five-story underground extravaganza on the outskirts of the capital Tirana to protect Albania’s army command from nuclear attack — opened to the public two years ago.

It has since closed due to funding shortages. Authorities are planning to reopen it this summer.

Now, its smaller sibling in downtown Tirana is tapped to become a museum of the Communist era, sparking complaints from Albania’s conservative opposition party that the governing Socialists are trying to glorify the country’s dark past.

Located under the Interior Ministry, the secret nuclear bunker was built in the early 1980s to shelter ministry staff. Auron Tare, who heads a government tourism agency, says opening the former bunker as a museum will help preserve the country’s history.

“Twenty-five years after the fall of communism, the younger generations have no idea of what that regime was (like),” he told The Associated Press. “The collective memories of the communist regime, which had so much impact on the country’s life, are being wiped out fast.”

The 1,000-square-meter bunker has thick reinforced concrete walls to withstand nuclear attack. Machinery kept the air fresh from radioactive pollution, generators provided electricity, and water came from a well inside the structure. Its old East German-made air conditioning system is still functioning.

Staff offices doubled as dormitories and were equipped with iron tables and beds. The minister had a small, wood-paneled suite to himself, which included a small room for his secretary, a bedroom and bathroom, and a hotline to the party’s leadership.

Authorities hope to open it to the public later this year.

The structure has already triggered controversy. An anti-government rally by the conservative Democratic Party late last year ended with a riot at the Interior Ministry, with protesters trying to destroy a small replica bunker that will provide access to the shelter.

Architect Artan Shkreli, who is involved in the bunker project, says the criticism is “absurd,” but was pleased that the new entrance weathered the attack.

“Hundreds of thousands of bunkers built by the communist regime were never tested,” he said. “That fake bunker ... passed the test!” (ap)

No Moratorium on Hotels in Badung

MANGUPURA - The Government of Badung considers the heated debate about placing a moratorium on constructing new hotels to be closed.

The richest Regency in Bali, has not imposed a moratorium but is instead content with dictating minimum spatial standards, room size and facilities offered by hotels and condhotels.

H e a d o f B a d u n g ’s Tourism Bureau, Cok Raka Darmawan, said that Regent Decree (Perbup) No 36, 2014 regarding the minimal amount of space, room size and facilities for hotels and condotels outlines the standards.

“So far Badung has not issued a moratorium. We have weighed certain factors in coming to this decision”, said Darmawan IBP/net on Friday (Apr, 29).

Cok Raka Darmawan The decision not to impose a moratorium, explained Darmawan is based on factors related to economic growth that necessarily requires that investments be made. In Badung, the largest amount of investments or at least those that interests owners of capital, are investments in hotels and other accommodations, he said. .

“Secondly, there is still room for accommodations, and with investments being made in this sector, jobs are created, in fact this sector employees the most people in Badung”, explained Darmawan who added that the fact that Badung has the lowest unemployment rate is proof of this.

Therefore with investments come buildings, and employment that indirectly contributing to the welfare of the people giving them more purchasing power, said Darmawan.“This is why the government of Badung has not imposed a moratorium”, he said.

Badung’s government will still use Regent Decree no 36 ,2014 to manage how investments in accommodations are made.

Anyone wanting to build hotels in Kuta, North Kuta and South Kuta will have to adhere to the regulations that require grounds to be at least 50 Are in Kuta, 5 Are in North Kuta and 100 Are in South Kuta with rooms of at least 32 square meters.

“By imposing limitations on how small these spaces can be, we hope to put the brakes on the construction of city hotels that are the cause of hotel room prices plummeting. The Regent regulation helps avoid too much competition amongst hotels” said Darmawan.

So investors, he said are encouraged to build hotels of quality that can be maintained and increased over time. “We hope that hotels built in Badung will be eco-friendly, with high quality standards in everything from the size of their parking lot to the greenery around the hotel”, he said.

Head of Badung’s Hotel and Restaurant Association, (PHRI), IGN Rai Suryawijaya however said that there are already 95 thousand hotel rooms including star hotels, villas, condhotels and the like. “Star hotels only have a 60% occupancy rate, meaning that 40% are left empty. Non-star hotels that are mostly owned by local people, including home-stays and the like have even more alarming occupancy rates of just 43%, he explained.

According to Suryawijaya, the government should be working on developing infrastructure that supports tourism, including making renovations to tourist attractions, improving the regency’s 11 tourism villages (only 3 of which are being well managed), create art spaces and other tourism supporting facilities. “ I have already presented the government with the results of research that show that there is an over-supply of hotels in Badung and that a moratorium is required”, concluded Suryawijaya.

Local Fruit Farmers remain unsubsidised

DENPASAR - Slumping prices seem to be part and parcel of life as farmer, when harvest yields are abundant. This is especially true for farmers who cultivate local fruits such as snake-fruit, mangos, rambutan, mangosteen, lemons and the like. Despite this fact of life, the government has yet to give support fruit farmers. “ There are thousands of farmers’ products, including vegetables, grains and fruits. But we cannot subsidize them all, there just isn’t the money”, said head of the Farming and Foodstuffs Bureau of Bali, Ida Bagus Wisnuardhana on Friday (Apr 29).

Wisnuardhana explained that right now the government is giving priority to subsidizing rice paddy.

There is however the possibility that hot peppers and onions will be subsidized in the future if like rice paddy they are considered to have a large enough impact on inflation.

When the price of rice, peppers or onions goes up so to does inflation.

For the moment the price of fruit does not have as much of an impact as these three commodities.

“Fruits are seasonal, meaning that at some times of year there are

lots and at other times there are few which is why prices go up and down.

Yes we need to stabilize prices, either by subsideizing the price or by subsidizing production costs but not for everything, there just isn’t the money for it”, he explained again.

Wisnuardhana did however say that they would be efforts made towards ensuring that fruit farmers get a fair price for their crops even if they are not subsidized. At harvest time prices slump, so farmers are asked to sort their fruit by grade of quality. The best quality fruits can

be sold for more to hotels or private grocers. “Middle quality fruit can be brought to market while the poorest quality fruits can be made into fruit products. Snake fruit for example can be made into candy to increase value” he said.

Also, added Wisnuardhana, every center of fruit production has an Agribisnis Sub-Terminal (STA) so that farmers can learn about managing their production and form into gorups to market their products. This goverment inititive is aimed at cutting out middle men so that famers receive a greater profit margin.

In 2015, Bali’s parliament in conjunction with the gubernorial LKPJ made recommendations for farmers.

One of their recommendations was that the Province of Bali protect fruit farmers when prices slump at harvest time by creating a sort of standard regulation regarding the price of fruit. (kmb32)

BANGLI - Kidul Market in Bangli all this time having been people’s source of economy is no longer able to accommodate all merchants. To keep getting income, a number of merchants are forced to sell at Loka Sarana terminal. In order that this condition continues, local government is going to build a market at different location. So, it takes time and in-depth study.

The Head of the Bangli Industry and Trade Agency, I Nengah Sudibia, explained on Friday (Apr. 29) that based on the latest data, the merchants selling at Kidul Market amount to 1,412 people. Of this number, hundreds of them cannot be accommodated. As a result, they are still selling at Loka Sarana terminal.

“The current building is overcapacity. Hundreds of merchants are selling at the terminal, such as the merchants of canang oblation and crops,” he said accompanied by trade division head I Gede Putu Wahyuda.

Responding to this problem, Sudibia claimed to only be able to maximize the space available. He said that his agency has no plan to build a new market. He just affirmed that the government now has commitment

This official from Penglipuran village mentioned that capacity of the market of Kayuamba, Susut and Kintamani, mentioned has not been overloaded. Nevertheless, the refurbishment plan has been rolled out.

“Refurbishment of the Kayuamba and Kintamani Market has been planned. Hopefully, it can be realized immediately,” he added.

Responding to the condition of Kidul Market, Deputy Regent of Bangli, Sang Nyoman Sedana Arta, admitted there is a plan to build new market at different location. However, it cannot be realized in a short time, but must be done gradually.

“Right now, we’d like to maximize the Kidul Market and after that we do it for the other markets. Within the next five years we will make land acquisition for the relocation of Kidul Market as a wholesale market.

Obviously this needs an assessment, both in terms of budget and the location,” he said. (kmb45)

As is typical for rallies organized by the ruling United Russia party, the May Day rally steered clear of criticizing President Vladimir Putin or his government for falling living standards. The slogans focused on wages and jobs for young professionals. Left-wing Russian groups held their own rallies.

This year the May Day coincided with the Orthodox Easter in Russia.

Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov told Russian news agencies ahead of the rally that he celebrates Easter despite the Communist party’s history of oppressing the Russian Church. When a supporter greeted him with “Christ has risen!”

Zyuganov echoed “He is risen indeed!” in a traditional Orthodox greeting.

Fearing France’s worker protections are under threat, unions, students and others are marching through Paris and other French cities on Sunday.

The traditional May Day rallies are taking on greater weight this year as parliament is debating a bill that would allow longer working hours and let companies lay workers off more easily.

The bill has prompted the most violent labor-related protests in a decade, with small groups of

angry youth repeatedly smashing storefronts and baton-wielding police clearing crowds with tear gas. While most of the demonstrators have been peaceful, police are expected to be guarding Sunday’s marches.

The Socialist government hopes the relatively modest labor reform will reduce chronically high unemployment and make France more globally competitive, by allowing companies more flexibility. Opponents say it erodes hard-fought worker protections and call it a gift to corporate interests.

Turkish police used tear gas and water cannons Sunday to disperse dozens of May Day demonstrators in Istanbul.

Small scuffles broke out between police and demonstrators trying to reach Istanbul’s iconic Taksim Square. Taksim has symbolic meaning as the center of protests in which 34 people were killed in 1977.

In the Istanbul districts of Sisli and Bakirkoy, police fired tear gas and water cannon to scatter other protesters. They also rounded up at least 36 demonstrators, according to Anadolu Agency.

Russian police officers stand guard during a May Day rally at Red Square in Moscow, Russia, May 1, 2016. and 120 water cannons in Istanbul, which has witnessed two suicide bombings this year.

May Day marches were held elsewhere in Turkey without incident but were cancelled in the southern city of Gaziantep after a car bomb attack on a police station.

In the coastal city of Izmir, some demonstrators stripped down in protest over police body searches at a square where people were allowed to gather, according to local

media.

In Manila, about 2,000 leftwing protesters scuffled with riot policemen, who used shields and a water cannon to try to prevent the flag-waving demonstrators from getting near the U.S. Embassy.

Labor leaders said 20 protesters were injured.

Some of the protesters managed to break through the police cordon.

TV video showed some of them punching a retreating police officer and using wooden poles to hit a fire

truck. Police made no arrests and the protesters dispersed after about two hours.

May Day rallies were held across the Philippines, with campaigning entering the final week ahead of the May 9 presidential election. Some of the candidates pledged to address labor complaints.

NAIROBI - Rescue workers raced on Saturday to save more residents from the rubble of a sixstorey building in Nairobi after it collapsed overnight following heavy rain. At least 12 people were confirmed dead.

President Uhuru Kenyatta visited the site of Friday night’s disaster and ordered the arrest of the owners of the building, which had been condemned by the authorities.

One man was pulled out alive on Saturday afternoon to cheers from the crowd. Earlier, Interior Minister Joseph Ole Nkaissery told reporters at the scene that the cries of a woman and child had been heard.

Their fate was not clear.

“We are still hearing some voices from the collapsed building,” Kenya National Disaster Operation Centre director Colonel Nathan Kigotho said, in Nairobi’s poor

Huruma district. “We don’t have the exact number of people buried in the rubble.”

He said 12 bodies had been recovered from the building.

After mainly working with hands and power tools, rescue workers moved in two excavator vehicles to assist in lifting heavy masonry. Residents in the next building were pulled out carrying their packed belongings.

Heavy rains have led to building collapses in the past in poor neighbourhoods of the Kenyan capital, which residents have usually blamed on shoddy or illegal construction.

The building in Huruma in eastern Nairobi had 198 rooms, Kigotho said. Some residents escaped before the collapse and at least 133 people had been rescued.

The president told officials “to undertake an immediate survey of

all the houses in the area to find out those which are at risk of collapsing”, his office said in a statement.

Kigotho said the building’s proximity to a nearby swollen river likely damaged the structure. “The water most likely undermined the foundation,” he said.

Police said more than 120 people had been taken to hospital.

Lower floors of the building crumpled, leaving some of the top storey still standing. Broken bed frames, mattresses and clothes protruded from the wreckage.

“It is raining, and these houses were built without Nairobi County authorisation,” Jonathan Mueke, deputy governor of Nairobi County, told privately-owned QTV station.

“I am asking residents in the area to leave. In the area where this one collapsed there are 189 houses,” he said. (rtr)

China lays out firm conditions for improved ties with Japan

BEIJING — China laid out firm conditions Saturday for improved ties with Japan, telling Tokyo’s visiting foreign minister that there could be “no ambiguity or vacillation” in meeting Beijing’s demands over historical interpretation, relations with Taiwan and other key matters.

As part of what the ministry termed a “four-point requirement on improving bilateral ties,” Wang also demanded that Japan “have a more positive and healthy attitude toward the growth of China, and stop spreading or echoing all kinds of China threat or China economic recession theories.”

Kishida was making the first formal visit to China by a Japanese foreign minister in more than four years, part of an effort to revive a relationship that for years has been economically vital but politically dormant. He also met Saturday with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and senior foreign policy adviser Yang Jiechi.

Kishida’s spokesman Masato Otaka described the discussions as frank and candid, and said the atmosphere throughout the visit was “forthcoming.”

Otaka said he believed ties were on the uptick, partly as a result of increased contacts between leaders of the two sides at multinational gatherings. “Basically, the two countries are trying to find ways to improve the relationship,” Otaka said.

High-level ties between the two countries have been largely frozen since Japan nationalized a string of uninhabited East China Sea islands claimed by China in 2012, spark-

ing deep anger among Chinese.

Kishida’s visit was the first formal one to China by a Japanese foreign minister in more than four years.

Despite their crucial economic

relationship, many Chinese harbor deep animosity toward Japan dating from its brutal invasion and occupation of much of China during the 1930s and 1940s. Meanwhile,

distrust toward Beijing runs deep among the Japanese public, who see their country’s economic and political influence being overshadowed by a rising China.(ap)

Beijing portrayed the visit by Fumio Kishida as an act of outreach to an angry China, as the two sides try to repair relations bedeviled by disputes over territory, history and competition for influence in East Asia.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Kishida that the ties must be based on “respect for history, adherence to commitment, and on cooperation rather than confrontation.”

Relations have gone through “twists and turns in recent years due to reasons best known by Japan,” Wang said, adding that China desires “healthy and stable relations” with its neighbor and key economic partner. Japan needs to “turn its words into deeds,” Wang said.

In an elaboration on Wang’s comments, the Foreign Ministry quoted him as saying that Japan must adhere to commitments laid down in previous agreements, “face up to and reflect upon the history and follow the one-China policy to the letter,” the last part a reference to Beijing’s insistence that self-governing Taiwan is Chinese territory.

“No ambiguity or vacillation is allowed when it comes to this important political foundation of the bilateral ties,” the ministry quoted Wang as saying.

\JAKARTA - The Jakarta government plans to build multi-concept apartments for fishermen who will be relocated from their original settlements in coastal areas.

“According to the plan, we will build multi-concept apartments. Thus, the relocated fishermen will have many options for apartments where they can reside,” Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok stated here, Friday.

The concepts will include thematic apartments similar to those

in Muara Angke and Cakung Green as well as apartments on Thousand Islands equipped with facilities for aquaculture.

“With the implementation of this plan, the fishermen will not lose their jobs. Later, they just need to select their choice of concept apartments,” he stated.

In future, the number of apartments for fishermen will be increased as the coastal area reclamation work will be expanded, so they will have several dwelling options, he stated.

“Indeed, we have intentionally built many apartments for fishermen with several options as we plan to expand the coastal area reclamation work and at the same time reorganize it,” he explained.

The Jakarta administration will buy Nusa Kiranas land measuring 300 hectares for super blocks.

“We will try to bargain whether we can buy a plot of land owned

by Nusa Kirana. If we can, we will build super blocks for workers in the Port of Jakarta,” the governor added.(ant)

The chief of police on Jolo island said the hostages, who were crew of a Taiwanese-owned tugboat intercepted by Abu Sayyaf rebels, were delivered to the local governor’s home at around 0500 GMT then taken to an army base. “They appeared tired but were in high spirits,” said Police Superintendent Junpikar Sitin.

Police and military officials said it was unclear whether or not a ransom was paid for the men.

The Philippines rarely publicises such payments, but it is widely believed no captives are released without them.

The fate of four other hostages from Indonesia held by a different Abu Sayyaf faction is unknown. Indonesia’s foreign ministry had no immediate comment on Sunday’s release of the 10 detainees.

Abu Sayyaf, a formidable and brutal militia known for amassing tens of millions of dollars from the ransom business, is now holding 13 people, among them four Malaysian seamen and Japanese, Netherlands, Canadian, Norwegian and Filipino citizens.

John Ridsdel, 68, a former mining executive, was executed on Monday by the Abu Sayyaf, which

kidnapped him and three others from a resort last year. His head was found in a bag a few hours after the deadline passed and a torso was discovered two days after.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called it “an act of coldblooded murder” and has urged countries not to pay ransoms. The price for his life was 300 million pesos ($6.41 million).

Philippine President Benigno Aquino has vowed to devote all his energy to eliminating the group before he steps down in two months.

But the group’s network is deeply entrenched and efforts to flush out its fighters have proved to be a big challenge for the 2,500 Philippine troops engaging them.

The lucrative business has allowed Abu Sayyaf, whose name translates as “Bearer of the Sword”, to invest in high-powered boats, weapons and modern communications equipment. With poverty and joblessness rife, it is able to recruit with ease.

Foreign ministers of the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia are due to meet in Jakarta this week to discuss ways to work together to secure key shipping routes in the waters between the three countries. (rtr)

President Jokowi inaugurates amahami market in Bima

BIMA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) inaugurated the Amahami Market. The president urged vendors in the newly built traditional market to maintain cleanliness and tidiness.

The head of state, accompanied

by Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Trade Minister Thomas Lembong, and Youth and Sports Minister Imam Nahrawi, held a dialog with a tomato vendor.

President Jokowi checked the condition of the market and called

on the trade minister to expand the building in order to accommodate 500 additional vendors who were compelled to sell their commodities outside the market.

“Just now, I have ordered the trade minister to expand the market to accommodate everyone,” the president noted, adding that next year, he will revisit Bima to review the condition.

Ari Dwipayana, member of the presidential communication team, recalled President Jokowis statement that traditional markets must be as competitive as modern

markets.

He made the statement while launching the Revitalization Program for One Thousand Community Markets at the Manis Market, Purwokerto, Banyumas District, Central Java, in June 2015.

The head of state expressed concern that traditional markets might disappear in future if their condition was not improved.

The improvement of traditional markets was not only related to their infrastructure but also the management of bookkeeping activities, he remarked.(ant)

U.S. President Barack Obama applauds at the White House Correspondents’ Association annual dinner in Washington, U.S., April 30, 2016.

Obama torches Trump at his final Washington correspondents’ dinner

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Barack Obama on Saturday took aim at Democrats and Republicans alike in his final appearance headlining the star-studded White House correspondents’ dinner, but saved his sharpest barbs for Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump.

“The Republican establishment is incredulous that he’s their most likely nominee,” Obama told attendees at the black-tie event, which brought together journalists and media moguls with Hollywood stars and power brokers from Capitol Hill and beyond.

“They say Donald lacks the foreign policy experience to be president. But in fairness he has spent years meeting with leaders from around the world: Miss Sweden, Miss Argentina, Miss Azerbaijan,” the president said to howls of laughter, referring to contestants on the Miss Universe pageant that Trump formerly co-owned.

Obama made fun of the angst many in the Republican establishment have expressed at the prospect that Trump or Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz could win the party’s

nomination to run in the Nov. 8 presidential election.

“Guests were asked to check whether they wanted steak or fish, but instead a whole bunch of you wrote in Paul Ryan,” Obama said, referring to the top Republican in the House of Representatives, who many have hoped could be lured into running for president.

“That’s not an option people,” Obama said, displaying comedic chops perfected through seven previous appearances at the annual dinner.

“You may not like steak or fish, but that’s your choice.”

In his remarks, Obama looked back on his presidency and jokingly predicted the country may be nearing its doom.

“The end of the republic has never looked better,” the tuxedoclad president said looking out at the

well-groomed crowd as he blasted Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus.

“Congratulations on all your success,” Obama told Priebus, while wearing a sarcastic grin. “The Republican party, the nomination process - it’s all going great.”

Larry Wilmore, the host of a show on cable outlet Comedy Central, took his own shots at Trump when he took the podium after Obama, joking that next year the dinner will be called: “Donald Trump presents a luxurious evening paid for by Mexico.”

Trump has famously promised to build a wall between the United States and Mexico to prevent illegal immigration, and he has said he would force Mexico to pay for it.

With a bit of nostalgia, Obama reflected on his more than seven years in office, saying he had been a young man of idealism and vigor before he became president.

“Eight years ago I said it was time to change the tone of our politics,” Obama said. “In hindsight, I clearly should have been more specific.” (rtr)

Police officers killed, dozens wounded in attacks near Turkey’s southeast border

ISTANBUL - Two police officers were killed and 23 people wounded in a car bomb attack on police headquarters in the southeastern Turkish city of Gaziantep, the provincial governor and police sources said, in one of two attacks on security forces on Sunday.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility; but Turkey has suffered attacks recently both from Kurdish militants and Islamic State fighters, raising uncertainty at home and among NATO allies about spillover of conflict from neighbouring Syria.

A bomb-laden vehicle was detonated outside the gates of police headquarters on a street housing several other provincial government buildings whose windows were shattered.

Footage from broadcaster CNN Turk showed forensics experts collecting pieces of the wrecked vehicle as well as rubble strewn by the blast felt across the city.

Police cordoned off the scene and police carrying rifles patrolled the area. Gunfire was heard at the time of the explosion and a second car was reported to have been driven away from the scene, CNN Turk’s correspondent said.

Nineteen police officers and four civilians were wounded in the attack, a statement from Gaziantep governor Ali Yerlikaya’s office said. One police officer died at the scene and a second in hospital, a security source said.

Several hundred miles east-

wards along the same border, in the town of Nusaybin, three Turkish soldiers were killed and 14 others wounded in an armed attack by Kurdish militants during a military operation, an army statement said.

Turkey is facing security threats on several fronts. As part of a U.S.-led coalition, it is fighting Islamic State in neighbouring Syria and Iraq and battling Kurdish PKK militants in its southeast, where a 2-1/2-year ceasefire collapsed last July, triggering the worst violence since the 1990s.

Turkish military sources said on Sunday drones from the U.S.led coalition had struck an Islamic State explosives depot in the northern Syrian town of Dabiq, drawing on intelligence from Ankara. Two Islamic State militants outside the building were killed and several others were thought to have been inside.

The province of Gaziantep, bordering Islamic State-held Syrian territory, is home to a large Syrian refugee population and there have been several police raids on suspected Islamic State militants there over the past months.

A wave of suicide bombings this year, including two in its largest city Istanbul, have been blamed on Islamic State, and two in the capital Ankara were claimed by a Kurdish militant group.

Last week a female suicide bomber blew herself up next to a mosque on a busy street in Turkey’s fourth largest city of Bursa, wounding eight people. (rtr)

Ding, the world number 17, compiled seven century breaks in the match to set a world championship record and will play England’s world number one Mark Selby in the best of 35-frame final, which starts on Sunday.

Selby beat Marco Fu of Hong Kong 17-15 in a gripping semi-final which included the longest frame in world championship history at the Crucible lasting over 76 minutes.

“I wanted to make the final but I feel normal. The tournament hasn’t finished yet,” Ding told reporters.

“I want to keep focused. Last

Ding, 29, is a former world number one who claimed five ranking titles in 2013-14 to equal the record set by seven-times world champion Stephen Hendry.

The 32-year-old Selby, who won the title in 2014, struggled for form during the match but posted a century break in the final session before seeing off the 38-year-old Fu, who was playing in his second world semi-final and first since 2006. (rtr)

CARSON — Andre Berto spent five years regretting his inability to land the punches that would have finished off Victor Ortiz during his first career defeat.

With a second shot at his rival, Berto didn’t miss.

Berto stopped Ortiz with two knockdowns in the fourth round Saturday night, avenging his loss in the welterweight stars’ first bout five years ago.

Berto (31-4, 24 KOs) rebounded ferociously after Ortiz knocked him down in the second round of their rematch. Berto floored Ortiz the first time with a right uppercut, and Ortiz went down again moments later from a series of big punches.

“I told myself, ‘I’m not going to let him recover from this one,’” said Berto, who knocked down Ortiz twice in their first bout. “That was my mistake in the first fight, letting him get back up.”

Ortiz crawled back to his feet and barely beat the count, but didn’t respond when asked if he wanted to continue. Referee Jack Reiss stopped the bout 1:14 into the fourth.

Berto returned to the ring in style after his one-sided loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. last year in the pound-for-pound champion’s final fight. Berto lost his WBC welterweight title and his unbeaten record to Ortiz in their 2011 bout, and he went 3-3 in his six fights since.

“I think it’s one of the most satisfying wins of my career, just because he gave me my first loss, and it’s been looming for years,” Berto said. “I just felt like it was something I had to do, and it was something the fans wanted as well.”

Ortiz and Berto knocked each other down twice in their wild first fight in 2011, each flooring the other in the sixth round alone.

Ortiz hung on for a decision despite losing a point for hitting behind the head in one of the most entertaining high-level fights of this decade. (AP)

Piller hits every green en route to two-shot LPGA lead

TEXAS - American Gerina Piller produced another ball-striking clinic in the third round at the Texas Shootout on Saturday to earn a two-shot lead and put herself in position for her first LPGA title.

The world number 20, in her sixth LPGA season, hit 18 greens in regulation for the second straight day, en route to a bogey-free fourunder-par 67 at Las Colinas Country Club in Irving.

Piller, winless in 123 career LPGA starts, has top-six finishes in her past three starts, including a tie for third in San Francisco last Sunday.

She will start the final round on Sunday at 14-under 199, with South Koreans Amy Yang (65) and Hur Mi-jung (66) her closest pursuers on 12-under.

After rolling in a 10-foot birdie putt at the 10th hole for her fourth birdie of the round, Piller finished with eight pars. She has hit 52 of 54 greens in regulation this week and has not made a bogey since her opening hole on Thursday.

She thought her score on Saturday could have been better, but was nonetheless pleased with her position.

“Definitely a lot of confidence going into tomorrow,” the 31-yearold local resident told reporters.

“I felt like I played well, it just wasn’t good enough. There’s always a coulda, shoulda, woulda, but that’s one of those things you’ve

just got to go out and hit fairways and hit greens and get it close and make putts.”

Piller began the third round with a one-shot lead over South Korean Ji Eun-hee, who carded 71 to drop back into a tie for sixth. (rtr)

Sp rt Barcelona beats Betis, moves closer to Spanish league title MADRID — Barcelona scored two second-half goals to defeat 10-man Real Betis 2-0 on Saturday and move closer to winning the Spanish league title.

REUTERS / Marcelo del Pozo

Barcelona’s Ivan Rakitic celebrates with Jordi Alba after scoring against against Real Betis.

The victory put Barcelona back in first place after both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid had won earlier. Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 1-0 behind a late winner by Gareth Bale, and Atletico topped Rayo Vallecano by the same score with a goal by French striker Antoine Griezmann.

Victories against Espanyol and Granada in the final two rounds will secure Barcelona its second consecutive title.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have 85 points each, with the Catalan club ahead on the head-to-head tiebreaker. Real Madrid is one point behind with two rounds to go. All three teams have won their matches in the last three rounds.

“We keep winning and we still only depend on ourselves,” Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said. “We never said it was going to be easy. We have to focus on these last two games. We are closer and closer to the Spanish league title.”

Lionel Messi set up both Barcelona goals at the Benito Villamarin Stadium in Seville. Ivan Rakitic scored in the 50th minute after a defensive blunder and Luis Suarez added his league-leading 35th goal in the 81st to seal the victory.

Real Betis played a man down from the 37th after Heiko Westermann was sent off for two yellow cards. The German defender was shown his first yellow in the 28th for a foul on Messi, and the second came less than 10 minutes later for a foul on Rakitic.

Rakitic broke the deadlock from close range after goalkeeper Antonio Adan failed to intercept Messi’s cross to Rakitic inside the area.

The Argentine playmaker then sent a perfect long ball to Suarez in front of the goal, and the Uruguay striker easily netted his ninth goal in three games. Barcelona lost goalkeeper Claudio Bravo near the end of the game because of a calf injury.

In Madrid, Atletico won despite playing with only four players from the starting lineup that defeated Bayern Munich 1-0 in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals on Wednesday at the Vicente Calderon Stadium.

Udinese still in danger after 5-1 thrashing by Torino

MILAN — Udinese remains uncomfortably close to the relegation zone after being thrashed 5-1 at home to Torino in Serie A on Saturday, while Fiorentina’s miserable run continued with a goalless draw at Chievo Verona.

Luigi De Canio’s Udinese is six points clear of Palermo, which hosts Sampdoria on Sunday, with two rounds remaining after the current round.

Defender Pontus Jansson headed Torino ahead in the 12th minute with his first club goal and Afriyie Acquah blasted a second

into the roof of the net on the stroke of halftime.

Udinese, jeered off the pitch at the end of each half, got back into the match immediately after the restart through Felipe but Josef Martinez swiftly restored Torino’s two-goal cushion. Andrea Belotti and a second from Martinez completed the rout.

Fiorentina has slipped down the table after just one win in its past 10 matches.

Only a couple of months after looking set for a Champions League place, Fiorentina is now chasing a Europa League berth.

Lyon and Monaco level on points in Champions League pursuit

Coach Diego Simeone, serving a three-game suspension for throwing a second ball onto the field in the previous league round, rested most of the regular starters on Saturday ahead of the return game in Germany on Tuesday.

But with his team struggling, Simeone put Griezmann into the game and the striker scored right away with a shot from just inside the area in the 55th minute, giving Atletico its seventh straight victory. Simeone’s tough defense hasn’t conceded a goal in six consecutive games.

“Rayo made things difficult for us,” Griezmann said.

“The players who started lacked rhythm, which was normal, they hadn’t played in a long time. But we were able to improve and got the win.”

Bale scored with a firm header after a well-placed cross by Lucas Vazquez in the 80th, giving Madrid its 10th-straight league win in a difficult match at Anoeta Stadium.

“We did our job,” Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said. “The important thing for us was to get the three points, because if we didn’t get them today, La Liga would have become more difficult.”

Madrid was without Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema because of hamstring injuries ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League semifinal against Manchester City. The first leg was 0-0 in England.

“We’ve been suffering with injuries, but the team has responded well,” Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos said. “The players who have come in have played well, this has been key for us.” Real Madrid dominated from the start but had difficulties getting past Sociedad’s Argentine goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli.

“We knew it was going to be a difficult match, but we went for the win from the start,” Ramos said. “We created a lot of chances but just couldn’t capitalize on them.”

Bale had already missed a few good opportunities before finally scoring the winner in the northeastern city of San Sebastian.

His best chance had been in the 57th, when he got to a loose ball inside the area but his low shot from near the penalty spot was blocked by Rulli.

Bale finally broke through by jumping high over a defender to meet Vazquez’s cross from the right side, sending the ball into the upper corner. (rtr)

If Sassuolo fails to win against alreadyrelegated Hellas Verona on Sunday, Fiorentina will be assured of a spot in the third qualifying round at least. Both Chievo and Fiorentina hit the woodwork in the second half.

Chievo almost snatched all three points when substitute Antonio Floro Flores thought he had scored in the 89th minute.

His effort squirmed through the legs of Ciprian Tatarusanu but the Fiorentina goalkeeper turned around swiftly and stretched out an arm to scoop it off the line in time. (ap)

Wenger says Arsenal protesters full of “disappointed love”

LONDON - Arsene Wenger dismissed protests against him as more “disappointed love” than “real aggression” after disenchanted supporters held up banners calling for his resignation in the 1-0 victory over Norwich in the Premier League on Saturday.

A well-trailed campaign saw demonstrations inside and outside the Emirates Stadium with fans, unhappy at the 12-year gap since the club last won the Premier League, brandishing placards in both the 12th minute and 12 minutes before the end.

Yet afterwards Wenger played down the protests, adding that he intended to carry on seeking to bring success to Arsenal.

“We were in a position for a long time where our fans thought we could win the league,” he said.

“It’s more disappointed love than real aggression.

“It was a strange atmosphere.

Some were protesting, yes, but the

vast majority were supporting the team. I’m really sorry if I cannot make them all happy. We continue to work hard to achieve it.” The stadium was split between pro and anti-Wenger factions displaying rival posters.

One said “Wenger - 12 years of excuses, Ranieri - 9 months, champions,” a reference to Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri, whose side will win the Premier League if they beat Manchester United on Sunday.

But the majority of supporters appeared to oppose the protest, drowning out the first disruption with a chant of “There’s only one Arsene Wenger”. Many displayed banners declaring their loyalty, with one saying: “Proud of Arsene, ashamed of fans”.

The stadium mood had not been helped by Wenger’s pre-match comments in which he said that his team’s title aspirations had been hindered by playing “in a very

difficult climate” at home.

That angered the faction calling for him to resign. Before the game, fans from the Arsenal Supporters’ Trust, Red Action and the Black Scarf Movement handed out posters saying “Time for a change”.

Wenger’s supporters will point to the success of his tactical substitution in bringing on Danny Welbeck just after the interval.

Within four minutes, the striker got on the end of an Olivier Giroud knock-down to score the game’s only goal and lift Arsenal into third place with two games to play.

The Gunners could still finish ahead of traditional rivals Tottenham Hotspur, who are two points ahead with a game in hand.

That would go some way to assuaging the anger of those who feel the club are stagnating after almost 20 years under Wenger, who is the longest-serving manager at one club in European football. (rtr)

Lyon and Monaco remained level on points in the fight for second spot in the French league after victories on Saturday, setting up an enticing match between the two teams in the penultimate round.

Lyon beat relegation-threatened Ajaccio 2-1, shortly after Monaco defeated Guingamp 3-2. Lyon remained ahead thanks to a vastly superior goal difference.

The team which finishes second will join champion Paris SaintGermain in the Champions League group stage, while the third-place side enters the competition at the third qualifying round. Lyon hosts Monaco next Saturday.

Rachid Ghezzal and Maxwel Cornet gave Lyon a comfortable halftime lead before Gregory Pujol reduced the deficit five minutes into the second half.

“We suffered a lot,” Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas said. “It started well however. Then, as often, we started the second half badly ... We need to be a lot better than tonight to beat Monaco.”

Monaco was also 2-0 up at the break after goals from Lacina Traore and Nabil Dirar. Mevlut Erding got Guingamp back in the match but Bernardo Silva restored his side’s two-goal cushion.

Benjamin Angoua scored Guingamp’s second nine minutes from time to set up a nervous finish for the home side, but Monaco held on for what could prove to be crucial points. Earlier, Nice and Saint-Etienne saw their Champions League hopes diminish. Nice lost 1-0 at Nantes, while SaintEtienne could only manage a 0-0 draw against Toulouse.

Saint-Etienne, which had captain Loic Perrin sent off late on, moved into fourth place thanks to goalkeeper Stephane Ruffier, who saved a fifth-minute penalty from Wissam Ben Yedder.

Toulouse, which also had two first-half goals ruled out for offside, remained in the relegation zone. It is three points from safety with two rounds remaining.

Saint-Etienne is four points behind Monaco. Nice is a point further back, following Adrien Thomasson’s winner for Nantes, which also hit the woodwork three times. Lille is a point behind Nice after winning 1-0 at Lorient.

Reims remained a point from safety, losing 3-2 against Montpellier with four of the five goals coming in the final seven minutes.

Already-relegated Troyes lost 4-2 at home to Bordeaux, while Bastia drew 0-0 at Caen. (ap)

Sp rt Barcelona beats Betis, moves closer to Spanish league title MADRID — Barcelona scored two second-half goals to defeat 10-man Real Betis 2-0 on Saturday and move closer to winning the Spanish league title.

Barcelona’s Ivan Rakitic celebrates with Jordi Alba after scoring against against Real Betis.

The victory put Barcelona back in first place after both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid had won earlier. Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 1-0 behind a late winner by Gareth Bale, and Atletico topped Rayo Vallecano by the same score with a goal by French striker Antoine Griezmann.

Victories against Espanyol and Granada in the final two rounds will secure Barcelona its second consecutive title.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have 85 points each, with the Catalan club ahead on the head-to-head tiebreaker. Real Madrid is one point behind with two rounds to go. All three teams have won their matches in the last three rounds.

“We keep winning and we still only depend on ourselves,” Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said. “We never said it was going to be easy. We have to focus on these last two games. We are closer and closer to the Spanish league title.”

Lionel Messi set up both Barcelona goals at the Benito Villamarin Stadium in Seville. Ivan Rakitic scored in the 50th minute after a defensive blunder and Luis Suarez added his league-leading 35th goal in the 81st to seal the victory.

Real Betis played a man down from the 37th after Heiko Westermann was sent off for two yellow cards. The German defender was shown his first yellow in the 28th for a foul on Messi, and the second came less than 10 minutes later for a foul on Rakitic.

Rakitic broke the deadlock from close range after goalkeeper Antonio Adan failed to intercept Messi’s cross to Rakitic inside the area.

The Argentine playmaker then sent a perfect long ball to Suarez in front of the goal, and the Uruguay striker easily netted his ninth goal in three games. Barcelona lost goalkeeper Claudio Bravo near the end of the game because of a calf injury.

In Madrid, Atletico won despite playing with only four players from the starting lineup that defeated Bayern Munich 1-0 in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals on Wednesday at the Vicente Calderon Stadium.

Udinese still in danger after 5-1 thrashing by Torino

MILAN — Udinese remains uncomfortably close to the relegation zone after being thrashed 5-1 at home to Torino in Serie A on Saturday, while Fiorentina’s miserable run continued with a goalless draw at Chievo Verona.

Luigi De Canio’s Udinese is six points clear of Palermo, which hosts Sampdoria on Sunday, with two rounds remaining after the current round.

Defender Pontus Jansson headed Torino ahead in the 12th minute with his first club goal and Afriyie Acquah blasted a second

into the roof of the net on the stroke of halftime.

Udinese, jeered off the pitch at the end of each half, got back into the match immediately after the restart through Felipe but Josef Martinez swiftly restored Torino’s two-goal cushion. Andrea Belotti and a second from Martinez completed the rout.

Fiorentina has slipped down the table after just one win in its past 10 matches.

Only a couple of months after looking set for a Champions League place, Fiorentina is now chasing a Europa League berth.

Lyon and Monaco level on points in Champions League pursuit

Coach Diego Simeone, serving a three-game suspension for throwing a second ball onto the field in the previous league round, rested most of the regular starters on Saturday ahead of the return game in Germany on Tuesday.

But with his team struggling, Simeone put Griezmann into the game and the striker scored right away with a shot from just inside the area in the 55th minute, giving Atletico its seventh straight victory. Simeone’s tough defense hasn’t conceded a goal in six consecutive games.

“Rayo made things difficult for us,” Griezmann said.

“The players who started lacked rhythm, which was normal, they hadn’t played in a long time. But we were able to improve and got the win.”

Bale scored with a firm header after a well-placed cross by Lucas Vazquez in the 80th, giving Madrid its 10th-straight league win in a difficult match at Anoeta Stadium.

“We did our job,” Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said. “The important thing for us was to get the three points, because if we didn’t get them today, La Liga would have become more difficult.”

Madrid was without Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema because of hamstring injuries ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League semifinal against Manchester City. The first leg was 0-0 in England.

“We’ve been suffering with injuries, but the team has responded well,” Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos said. “The players who have come in have played well, this has been key for us.” Real Madrid dominated from the start but had difficulties getting past Sociedad’s Argentine goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli.

“We knew it was going to be a difficult match, but we went for the win from the start,” Ramos said. “We created a lot of chances but just couldn’t capitalize on them.”

Bale had already missed a few good opportunities before finally scoring the winner in the northeastern city of San Sebastian.

His best chance had been in the 57th, when he got to a loose ball inside the area but his low shot from near the penalty spot was blocked by Rulli.

Bale finally broke through by jumping high over a defender to meet Vazquez’s cross from the right side, sending the ball into the upper corner. (rtr)

If Sassuolo fails to win against alreadyrelegated Hellas Verona on Sunday, Fiorentina will be assured of a spot in the third qualifying round at least. Both Chievo and Fiorentina hit the woodwork in the second half.

Chievo almost snatched all three points when substitute Antonio Floro Flores thought he had scored in the 89th minute.

His effort squirmed through the legs of Ciprian Tatarusanu but the Fiorentina goalkeeper turned around swiftly and stretched out an arm to scoop it off the line in time. (ap)

The Batuan Village paintings were gradations of black to white ink washes laid over most of the surface, so as to create an atmosphere of darkness and gloom. In the later years, the designs covered the entire space, which often contributed to the crowded nature of these Balinese paintings. (IBP/net)

Ding, the world number 17, compiled seven century breaks in the match to set a world championship record and will play England’s world number one Mark Selby in the best of 35-frame final, which starts on Sunday.

Selby beat Marco Fu of Hong Kong 17-15 in a gripping semi-final which included the longest frame in world championship history at the Crucible lasting over 76 minutes.

“I wanted to make the final but I feel normal. The tournament hasn’t finished yet,” Ding told reporters.

“I want to keep focused. Last

The 32-year-old Selby, who won the title in 2014, struggled for form during the match but posted a century break in the final session before seeing off the 38-year-old Fu, who was playing in his second world semi-final and first since 2006. (rtr)

CARSON — Andre Berto spent five years regretting his inability to land the punches that would have finished off Victor Ortiz during his first career defeat.

With a second shot at his rival, Berto didn’t miss.

Berto stopped Ortiz with two knockdowns in the fourth round Saturday night, avenging his loss in the welterweight stars’ first bout five years ago.

Berto (31-4, 24 KOs) rebounded ferociously after Ortiz knocked him down in the second round of their rematch. Berto floored Ortiz the first time with a right uppercut, and Ortiz went down again moments later from a series of big punches.

“I told myself, ‘I’m not going to let him recover from this one,’” said Berto, who knocked down Ortiz twice in their first bout. “That was my mistake in the first fight, letting him get back up.”

Ortiz crawled back to his feet and barely beat the count, but didn’t respond when asked if he wanted to continue. Referee Jack Reiss stopped the bout 1:14 into the fourth.

Berto returned to the ring in style after his one-sided loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. last year in the pound-for-pound champion’s final fight. Berto lost his WBC welterweight title and his unbeaten record to Ortiz in their 2011 bout, and he went 3-3 in his six fights since.

“I think it’s one of the most satisfying wins of my career, just because he gave me my first loss, and it’s been looming for years,” Berto said. “I just felt like it was something I had to do, and it was something the fans wanted as well.”

Ortiz and Berto knocked each other down twice in their wild first fight in 2011, each flooring the other in the sixth round alone.

Ortiz hung on for a decision despite losing a point for hitting behind the head in one of the most entertaining high-level fights of this decade. (AP)

Piller hits every green en route to two-shot LPGA lead

TEXAS - American Gerina Piller produced another ball-striking clinic in the third round at the Texas Shootout on Saturday to earn a two-shot lead and put herself in position for her first LPGA title.

The world number 20, in her sixth LPGA season, hit 18 greens in regulation for the second straight day, en route to a bogey-free fourunder-par 67 at Las Colinas Country Club in Irving.

Piller, winless in 123 career LPGA starts, has top-six finishes in her past three starts, including a tie for third in San Francisco last Sunday.

She will start the final round on Sunday at 14-under 199, with South Koreans Amy Yang (65) and Hur Mi-jung (66) her closest pursuers on 12-under.

After rolling in a 10-foot birdie putt at the 10th hole for her fourth birdie of the round, Piller finished with eight pars. She has hit 52 of 54 greens in regulation this week and has not made a bogey since her opening hole on Thursday.

She thought her score on Saturday could have been better, but was nonetheless pleased with her position.

“Definitely a lot of confidence going into tomorrow,” the 31-yearold local resident told reporters.

“I felt like I played well, it just wasn’t good enough. There’s always a coulda, shoulda, woulda, but that’s one of those things you’ve

just got to go out and hit fairways and hit greens and get it close and make putts.”

Piller began the third round with a one-shot lead over South Korean Ji Eun-hee, who carded 71 to drop back into a tie for sixth. (rtr)

U.S. President Barack Obama applauds at the White House Correspondents’ Association annual dinner in Washington, U.S., April 30, 2016.

Obama torches Trump at his final Washington correspondents’ dinner

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Barack Obama on Saturday took aim at Democrats and Republicans alike in his final appearance headlining the star-studded White House correspondents’ dinner, but saved his sharpest barbs for Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump.

“The Republican establishment is incredulous that he’s their most likely nominee,” Obama told attendees at the black-tie event, which brought together journalists and media moguls with Hollywood stars and power brokers from Capitol Hill and beyond.

“They say Donald lacks the foreign policy experience to be president. But in fairness he has spent years meeting with leaders from around the world: Miss Sweden, Miss Argentina, Miss Azerbaijan,” the president said to howls of laughter, referring to contestants on the Miss Universe pageant that Trump formerly co-owned.

Obama made fun of the angst many in the Republican establishment have expressed at the prospect that Trump or Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz could win the party’s

nomination to run in the Nov. 8 presidential election.

“Guests were asked to check whether they wanted steak or fish, but instead a whole bunch of you wrote in Paul Ryan,” Obama said, referring to the top Republican in the House of Representatives, who many have hoped could be lured into running for president.

“That’s not an option people,” Obama said, displaying comedic chops perfected through seven previous appearances at the annual dinner.

“You may not like steak or fish, but that’s your choice.”

In his remarks, Obama looked back on his presidency and jokingly predicted the country may be nearing its doom.

“The end of the republic has never looked better,” the tuxedoclad president said looking out at the

well-groomed crowd as he blasted Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus.

“Congratulations on all your success,” Obama told Priebus, while wearing a sarcastic grin. “The Republican party, the nomination process - it’s all going great.”

Larry Wilmore, the host of a show on cable outlet Comedy Central, took his own shots at Trump when he took the podium after Obama, joking that next year the dinner will be called: “Donald Trump presents a luxurious evening paid for by Mexico.”

Trump has famously promised to build a wall between the United States and Mexico to prevent illegal immigration, and he has said he would force Mexico to pay for it.

With a bit of nostalgia, Obama reflected on his more than seven years in office, saying he had been a young man of idealism and vigor before he became president.

“Eight years ago I said it was time to change the tone of our politics,” Obama said. “In hindsight, I clearly should have been more specific.” (rtr)

Police officers killed, dozens wounded in attacks near Turkey’s southeast border

ISTANBUL - Two police officers were killed and 23 people wounded in a car bomb attack on police headquarters in the southeastern Turkish city of Gaziantep, the provincial governor and police sources said, in one of two attacks on security forces on Sunday.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility; but Turkey has suffered attacks recently both from Kurdish militants and Islamic State fighters, raising uncertainty at home and among NATO allies about spillover of conflict from neighbouring Syria.

A bomb-laden vehicle was detonated outside the gates of police headquarters on a street housing several other provincial government buildings whose windows were shattered.

Footage from broadcaster CNN Turk showed forensics experts collecting pieces of the wrecked vehicle as well as rubble strewn by the blast felt across the city.

Police cordoned off the scene and police carrying rifles patrolled the area. Gunfire was heard at the time of the explosion and a second car was reported to have been driven away from the scene, CNN Turk’s correspondent said.

Nineteen police officers and four civilians were wounded in the attack, a statement from Gaziantep governor Ali Yerlikaya’s office said. One police officer died at the scene and a second in hospital, a security source said.

wards along the same border, in the town of Nusaybin, three Turkish soldiers were killed and 14 others wounded in an armed attack by Kurdish militants during a military operation, an army statement said.

Turkey is facing security threats on several fronts. As part of a U.S.-led coalition, it is fighting Islamic State in neighbouring Syria and Iraq and battling Kurdish PKK militants in its southeast, where a 2-1/2-year ceasefire collapsed last July, triggering the worst violence since the 1990s.

Turkish military sources said on Sunday drones from the U.S.led coalition had struck an Islamic State explosives depot in the northern Syrian town of Dabiq, drawing on intelligence from Ankara. Two Islamic State militants outside the building were killed and several others were thought to have been inside.

The province of Gaziantep, bordering Islamic State-held Syrian territory, is home to a large Syrian refugee population and there have been several police raids on suspected Islamic State militants there over the past months.

A wave of suicide bombings this year, including two in its largest city Istanbul, have been blamed on Islamic State, and two in the capital Ankara were claimed by a Kurdish militant group.

Last week a female suicide bomber blew herself up next to a mosque on a busy street in Turkey’s fourth largest city of Bursa, wounding eight people. (rtr)

China lays out firm conditions for improved ties with Japan

BEIJING — China laid out firm conditions Saturday for improved ties with Japan, telling Tokyo’s visiting foreign minister that there could be “no ambiguity or vacillation” in meeting Beijing’s demands over historical interpretation, relations with Taiwan and other key matters.

As part of what the ministry termed a “four-point requirement on improving bilateral ties,” Wang also demanded that Japan “have a more positive and healthy attitude toward the growth of China, and stop spreading or echoing all kinds of China threat or China economic recession theories.”

Kishida was making the first formal visit to China by a Japanese foreign minister in more than four years, part of an effort to revive a relationship that for years has been economically vital but politically dormant. He also met Saturday with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and senior foreign policy adviser Yang Jiechi.

Kishida’s spokesman Masato Otaka described the discussions as frank and candid, and said the atmosphere throughout the visit was “forthcoming.”

Otaka said he believed ties were on the uptick, partly as a result of increased contacts between leaders of the two sides at multinational gatherings. “Basically, the two countries are trying to find ways to improve the relationship,” Otaka said.

High-level ties between the two countries have been largely frozen since Japan nationalized a string of uninhabited East China Sea islands claimed by China in 2012, spark-

ing deep anger among Chinese.

Kishida’s visit was the first formal one to China by a Japanese foreign minister in more than four years.

Despite their crucial economic

relationship, many Chinese harbor deep animosity toward Japan dating from its brutal invasion and occupation of much of China during the 1930s and 1940s. Meanwhile,

distrust toward Beijing runs deep among the Japanese public, who see their country’s economic and political influence being overshadowed by a rising China.(ap)

Beijing portrayed the visit by Fumio Kishida as an act of outreach to an angry China, as the two sides try to repair relations bedeviled by disputes over territory, history and competition for influence in East Asia.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Kishida that the ties must be based on “respect for history, adherence to commitment, and on cooperation rather than confrontation.”

Relations have gone through “twists and turns in recent years due to reasons best known by Japan,” Wang said, adding that China desires “healthy and stable relations” with its neighbor and key economic partner. Japan needs to “turn its words into deeds,” Wang said.

In an elaboration on Wang’s comments, the Foreign Ministry quoted him as saying that Japan must adhere to commitments laid down in previous agreements, “face up to and reflect upon the history and follow the one-China policy to the letter,” the last part a reference to Beijing’s insistence that self-governing Taiwan is Chinese territory.

“No ambiguity or vacillation is allowed when it comes to this important political foundation of the bilateral ties,” the ministry quoted Wang as saying.

\JAKARTA - The Jakarta government plans to build multi-concept apartments for fishermen who will be relocated from their original settlements in coastal areas.

“According to the plan, we will build multi-concept apartments. Thus, the relocated fishermen will have many options for apartments where they can reside,” Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok stated here, Friday.

The concepts will include thematic apartments similar to those

in Muara Angke and Cakung Green as well as apartments on Thousand Islands equipped with facilities for aquaculture.

“With the implementation of this plan, the fishermen will not lose their jobs. Later, they just need to select their choice of concept apartments,” he stated.

In future, the number of apartments for fishermen will be increased as the coastal area reclamation work will be expanded, so they will have several dwelling options, he stated.

“Indeed, we have intentionally built many apartments for fishermen with several options as we plan to expand the coastal area reclamation work and at the same time reorganize it,” he explained.

The Jakarta administration will buy Nusa Kiranas land measuring 300 hectares for super blocks.

“We will try to bargain whether we can buy a plot of land owned

by Nusa Kirana. If we can, we will build super blocks for workers in the Port of Jakarta,” the governor added.(ant)

The chief of police on Jolo island said the hostages, who were crew of a Taiwanese-owned tugboat intercepted by Abu Sayyaf rebels, were delivered to the local governor’s home at around 0500 GMT then taken to an army base. “They appeared tired but were in high spirits,” said Police Superintendent Junpikar Sitin.

Police and military officials said it was unclear whether or not a ransom was paid for the men.

The Philippines rarely publicises such payments, but it is widely believed no captives are released without them.

The fate of four other hostages from Indonesia held by a different Abu Sayyaf faction is unknown. Indonesia’s foreign ministry had no immediate comment on Sunday’s release of the 10 detainees.

Abu Sayyaf, a formidable and brutal militia known for amassing tens of millions of dollars from the ransom business, is now holding 13 people, among them four Malaysian seamen and Japanese, Netherlands, Canadian, Norwegian and Filipino citizens.

John Ridsdel, 68, a former mining executive, was executed on Monday by the Abu Sayyaf, which

kidnapped him and three others from a resort last year. His head was found in a bag a few hours after the deadline passed and a torso was discovered two days after.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called it “an act of coldblooded murder” and has urged countries not to pay ransoms. The price for his life was 300 million pesos ($6.41 million).

Philippine President Benigno Aquino has vowed to devote all his energy to eliminating the group before he steps down in two months.

But the group’s network is deeply entrenched and efforts to flush out its fighters have proved to be a big challenge for the 2,500 Philippine troops engaging them.

The lucrative business has allowed Abu Sayyaf, whose name translates as “Bearer of the Sword”, to invest in high-powered boats, weapons and modern communications equipment. With poverty and joblessness rife, it is able to recruit with ease.

Foreign ministers of the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia are due to meet in Jakarta this week to discuss ways to work together to secure key shipping routes in the waters between the three countries. (rtr)

President Jokowi inaugurates amahami market in Bima

BIMA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) inaugurated the Amahami Market. The president urged vendors in the newly built traditional market to maintain cleanliness and tidiness.

The head of state, accompanied

by Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Trade Minister Thomas Lembong, and Youth and Sports Minister Imam Nahrawi, held a dialog with a tomato vendor.

President Jokowi checked the condition of the market and called

on the trade minister to expand the building in order to accommodate 500 additional vendors who were compelled to sell their commodities outside the market.

“Just now, I have ordered the trade minister to expand the market to accommodate everyone,” the president noted, adding that next year, he will revisit Bima to review the condition.

Ari Dwipayana, member of the presidential communication team, recalled President Jokowis statement that traditional markets must be as competitive as modern

markets.

He made the statement while launching the Revitalization Program for One Thousand Community Markets at the Manis Market, Purwokerto, Banyumas District, Central Java, in June 2015.

The head of state expressed concern that traditional markets might disappear in future if their condition was not improved.

The improvement of traditional markets was not only related to their infrastructure but also the management of bookkeeping activities, he remarked.(ant)

Trade unions and other groups are staging rallies around the world to mark International Workers Day. A look at some May Day events: Tens of thousands of people marched across Moscow’s Red Square on a sunny Sunday morning in a proKremlin workers’ rally. The protesters were carrying the Russian tricolor and balloons.

BANGLI - Kidul Market in Bangli all this time having been people’s source of economy is no longer able to accommodate all merchants. To keep getting income, a number of merchants are forced to sell at Loka Sarana terminal. In order that this condition continues, local government is going to build a market at different location. So, it takes time and in-depth study.

The Head of the Bangli Industry and Trade Agency, I Nengah Sudibia, explained on Friday (Apr. 29) that based on the latest data, the merchants selling at Kidul Market amount to 1,412 people. Of this number, hundreds of them cannot be accommodated. As a result, they are still selling at Loka Sarana terminal.

“The current building is overcapacity. Hundreds of merchants are selling at the terminal, such as the merchants of canang oblation and crops,” he said accompanied by trade division head I Gede Putu Wahyuda.

Responding to this problem, Sudibia claimed to only be able to maximize the space available. He said that his agency has no plan to build a new market. He just affirmed that the government now has commitment

to revitalize the markets. “In essence, the government wants to improve the condition of the whole markets,” he said.

This official from Penglipuran village mentioned that capacity of the market of Kayuamba, Susut and Kintamani, mentioned has not been overloaded. Nevertheless, the refurbishment plan has been rolled out.

“Refurbishment of the Kayuamba and Kintamani Market has been planned. Hopefully, it can be realized immediately,” he added.

Responding to the condition of Kidul Market, Deputy Regent of Bangli, Sang Nyoman Sedana Arta, admitted there is a plan to build new market at different location. However, it cannot be realized in a short time, but must be done gradually.

“Right now, we’d like to maximize the Kidul Market and after that we do it for the other markets. Within the next five years we will make land acquisition for the relocation of Kidul Market as a wholesale market.

Obviously this needs an assessment, both in terms of budget and the location,” he said. (kmb45)

As is typical for rallies organized by the ruling United Russia party, the May Day rally steered clear of criticizing President Vladimir Putin or his government for falling living standards. The slogans focused on wages and jobs for young professionals. Left-wing Russian groups held their own rallies.

This year the May Day coincided with the Orthodox Easter in Russia.

Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov told Russian news agencies ahead of the rally that he celebrates Easter despite the Communist party’s history of oppressing the Russian Church. When a supporter greeted him with “Christ has risen!”

Zyuganov echoed “He is risen indeed!” in a traditional Orthodox greeting.

Fearing France’s worker protections are under threat, unions, students and others are marching through Paris and other French cities on Sunday.

The traditional May Day rallies are taking on greater weight this year as parliament is debating a bill that would allow longer working hours and let companies lay workers off more easily.

The bill has prompted the most violent labor-related protests in a decade, with small groups of

angry youth repeatedly smashing storefronts and baton-wielding police clearing crowds with tear gas. While most of the demonstrators have been peaceful, police are expected to be guarding Sunday’s marches.

The Socialist government hopes the relatively modest labor reform will reduce chronically high unemployment and make France more globally competitive, by allowing companies more flexibility. Opponents say it erodes hard-fought worker protections and call it a gift to corporate interests.

Turkish police used tear gas and water cannons Sunday to disperse dozens of May Day demonstrators in Istanbul.

Small scuffles broke out between police and demonstrators trying to reach Istanbul’s iconic Taksim Square. Taksim has symbolic meaning as the center of protests in which 34 people were killed in 1977.

In the Istanbul districts of Sisli and Bakirkoy, police fired tear gas and water cannon to scatter other protesters. They also rounded up at least 36 demonstrators, according to Anadolu Agency.

In the coastal city of Izmir, some demonstrators stripped down in protest over police body searches at a square where people were allowed to gather, according to local

media.

In Manila, about 2,000 leftwing protesters scuffled with riot policemen, who used shields and a water cannon to try to prevent the flag-waving demonstrators from getting near the U.S. Embassy.

Labor leaders said 20 protesters were injured.

Some of the protesters managed to break through the police cordon.

TV video showed some of them punching a retreating police officer and using wooden poles to hit a fire

truck. Police made no arrests and the protesters dispersed after about two hours.

May Day rallies were held across the Philippines, with campaigning entering the final week ahead of the May 9 presidential election. Some of the candidates pledged to address labor complaints.

Rescuers search rubble of Nairobi building, at least 12 dead

REUTERS/Harman Kariuki

Rescue workers search for residents feared trapped in the rubble of a six-storey building that collapsed after days of heavy rain, in Nairobi, Kenya April 30, 2016.

NAIROBI - Rescue workers raced on Saturday to save more residents from the rubble of a sixstorey building in Nairobi after it collapsed overnight following heavy rain. At least 12 people were confirmed dead.

President Uhuru Kenyatta visited the site of Friday night’s disaster and ordered the arrest of the owners of the building, which had been condemned by the authorities.

One man was pulled out alive on Saturday afternoon to cheers from the crowd. Earlier, Interior Minister Joseph Ole Nkaissery told reporters at the scene that the cries of a woman and child had been heard.

Their fate was not clear.

“We are still hearing some voices from the collapsed building,” Kenya National Disaster Operation Centre director Colonel Nathan Kigotho said, in Nairobi’s poor

Huruma district. “We don’t have the exact number of people buried in the rubble.”

He said 12 bodies had been recovered from the building.

After mainly working with hands and power tools, rescue workers moved in two excavator vehicles to assist in lifting heavy masonry. Residents in the next building were pulled out carrying their packed belongings.

Heavy rains have led to building collapses in the past in poor neighbourhoods of the Kenyan capital, which residents have usually blamed on shoddy or illegal construction.

The building in Huruma in eastern Nairobi had 198 rooms, Kigotho said. Some residents escaped before the collapse and at least 133 people had been rescued.

The president told officials “to undertake an immediate survey of

all the houses in the area to find out those which are at risk of collapsing”, his office said in a statement.

Kigotho said the building’s proximity to a nearby swollen river likely damaged the structure. “The water most likely undermined the foundation,” he said.

Police said more than 120 people had been taken to hospital.

Lower floors of the building crumpled, leaving some of the top storey still standing. Broken bed frames, mattresses and clothes protruded from the wreckage.

“It is raining, and these houses were built without Nairobi County authorisation,” Jonathan Mueke, deputy governor of Nairobi County, told privately-owned QTV station.

“I am asking residents in the area to leave. In the area where this one collapsed there are 189 houses,” he said. (rtr)

Albania hopes to lure tourists with Communist nuclear bunker

TIRANA — Who doesn’t want to see a formerly topsecret Communist nuclear bunker?

A facility that was designed to keep Albania running after a nuclear attack is the latest relic of the country’s dark Communist past that is being reinvented as a modern tourist attraction.

In its swords-to-ploughshares drive, the Socialist government has already announced plans to open an island fortress to tourists and auction off the country’s decrepit Soviet and Chinese fighter jets.

The small Balkan nation has no end of useless military installations and weaponry, a legacy of the paranoid, isolationist regime that ruled it with an iron fist for about 50 years after the end of World War II. Fearing invasion by a host of imaginary enemies — imperialists, social-imperialists (as other Communist countries deemed ideologically unsound were termed) or restless, land-hungry neighbors — Albania’s regime had about 700,000 concrete bunkers of all sizes built across the country.

A quarter-century after the Communists’ fall, most are still there, the bigger ones serving as sheep barns, bars, restaurants, public toilets, love nests for furtive couples or even as homes.

The queen of them all — a secret five-story underground extravaganza on the outskirts of the capital Tirana to protect Albania’s army command from nuclear attack — opened to the public two years ago.

It has since closed due to funding shortages. Authorities are planning to reopen it this summer.

Now, its smaller sibling in downtown Tirana is tapped to become a museum of the Communist era, sparking complaints from Albania’s conservative opposition party that the governing Socialists are trying to glorify the country’s dark past.

Located under the Interior Ministry, the secret nuclear bunker was built in the early 1980s to shelter ministry staff. Auron Tare, who heads a government tourism agency, says opening the former bunker as a museum will help preserve the country’s history.

“Twenty-five years after the fall of communism, the younger generations have no idea of what that regime was (like),” he told The Associated Press. “The collective memories of the communist regime, which had so much impact on the country’s life, are being wiped out fast.”

The 1,000-square-meter bunker has thick reinforced concrete walls to withstand nuclear attack. Machinery kept the air fresh from radioactive pollution, generators provided electricity, and water came from a well inside the structure. Its old East German-made air conditioning system is still functioning.

Staff offices doubled as dormitories and were equipped with iron tables and beds. The minister had a small, wood-paneled suite to himself, which included a small room for his secretary, a bedroom and bathroom, and a hotline to the party’s leadership.

Authorities hope to open it to the public later this year.

The structure has already triggered controversy. An anti-government rally by the conservative Democratic Party late last year ended with a riot at the Interior Ministry, with protesters trying to destroy a small replica bunker that will provide access to the shelter.

Architect Artan Shkreli, who is involved in the bunker project, says the criticism is “absurd,” but was pleased that the new entrance weathered the attack.

“Hundreds of thousands of bunkers built by the communist regime were never tested,” he said. “That fake bunker ... passed the test!” (ap)

No Moratorium on Hotels in Badung

MANGUPURA - The Government of Badung considers the heated debate about placing a moratorium on constructing new hotels to be closed.

The richest Regency in Bali, has not imposed a moratorium but is instead content with dictating minimum spatial standards, room size and facilities offered by hotels and condhotels.

H e a d o f B a d u n g ’s Tourism Bureau, Cok Raka Darmawan, said that Regent Decree (Perbup) No 36, 2014 regarding the minimal amount of space, room size and facilities for hotels and condotels outlines the standards.

“So far Badung has not issued a moratorium. We have weighed certain factors in coming to this decision”, said Darmawan IBP/net on Friday (Apr, 29).

Cok Raka Darmawan The decision not to impose a moratorium, explained Darmawan is based on factors related to economic growth that necessarily requires that investments be made. In Badung, the largest amount of investments or at least those that interests owners of capital, are investments in hotels and other accommodations, he said. .

“Secondly, there is still room for accommodations, and with investments being made in this sector, jobs are created, in fact this sector employees the most people in Badung”, explained Darmawan who added that the fact that Badung has the lowest unemployment rate is proof of this.

Therefore with investments come buildings, and employment that indirectly contributing to the welfare of the people giving them more purchasing power, said Darmawan.“This is why the government of Badung has not imposed a moratorium”, he said.

Badung’s government will still use Regent Decree no 36 ,2014 to manage how investments in accommodations are made.

Anyone wanting to build hotels in Kuta, North Kuta and South Kuta will have to adhere to the regulations that require grounds to be at least 50 Are in Kuta, 5 Are in North Kuta and 100 Are in South Kuta with rooms of at least 32 square meters.

“By imposing limitations on how small these spaces can be, we hope to put the brakes on the construction of city hotels that are the cause of hotel room prices plummeting. The Regent regulation helps avoid too much competition amongst hotels” said Darmawan.

So investors, he said are encouraged to build hotels of quality that can be maintained and increased over time. “We hope that hotels built in Badung will be eco-friendly, with high quality standards in everything from the size of their parking lot to the greenery around the hotel”, he said.

Head of Badung’s Hotel and Restaurant Association, (PHRI), IGN Rai Suryawijaya however said that there are already 95 thousand hotel rooms including star hotels, villas, condhotels and the like. “Star hotels only have a 60% occupancy rate, meaning that 40% are left empty. Non-star hotels that are mostly owned by local people, including home-stays and the like have even more alarming occupancy rates of just 43%, he explained.

According to Suryawijaya, the government should be working on developing infrastructure that supports tourism, including making renovations to tourist attractions, improving the regency’s 11 tourism villages (only 3 of which are being well managed), create art spaces and other tourism supporting facilities. “ I have already presented the government with the results of research that show that there is an over-supply of hotels in Badung and that a moratorium is required”, concluded Suryawijaya.

Local Fruit Farmers remain unsubsidised

DENPASAR - Slumping prices seem to be part and parcel of life as farmer, when harvest yields are abundant. This is especially true for farmers who cultivate local fruits such as snake-fruit, mangos, rambutan, mangosteen, lemons and the like. Despite this fact of life, the government has yet to give support fruit farmers. “ There are thousands of farmers’ products, including vegetables, grains and fruits. But we cannot subsidize them all, there just isn’t the money”, said head of the Farming and Foodstuffs Bureau of Bali, Ida Bagus Wisnuardhana on Friday (Apr 29).

Wisnuardhana explained that right now the government is giving priority to subsidizing rice paddy.

There is however the possibility that hot peppers and onions will be subsidized in the future if like rice paddy they are considered to have a large enough impact on inflation.

When the price of rice, peppers or onions goes up so to does inflation.

For the moment the price of fruit does not have as much of an impact as these three commodities.

“Fruits are seasonal, meaning that at some times of year there are

lots and at other times there are few which is why prices go up and down.

Yes we need to stabilize prices, either by subsideizing the price or by subsidizing production costs but not for everything, there just isn’t the money for it”, he explained again.

Wisnuardhana did however say that they would be efforts made towards ensuring that fruit farmers get a fair price for their crops even if they are not subsidized. At harvest time prices slump, so farmers are asked to sort their fruit by grade of quality. The best quality fruits can

be sold for more to hotels or private grocers. “Middle quality fruit can be brought to market while the poorest quality fruits can be made into fruit products. Snake fruit for example can be made into candy to increase value” he said.

Also, added Wisnuardhana, every center of fruit production has an Agribisnis Sub-Terminal (STA) so that farmers can learn about managing their production and form into gorups to market their products. This goverment inititive is aimed at cutting out middle men so that famers receive a greater profit margin.

In 2015, Bali’s parliament in conjunction with the gubernorial LKPJ made recommendations for farmers.

One of their recommendations was that the Province of Bali protect fruit farmers when prices slump at harvest time by creating a sort of standard regulation regarding the price of fruit. (kmb32)

Griya Santrian Celebrates Their 44th anniversary

SANUR – Griya Santrian celebrates its 44th anniversary on Sunday (1/5). In celebration of the anniversary, GM Griya Santrian, IB Gede Sidharta Putra had expressed his thoughts related to the intense competition in Bali.

He said the development of tourism in Sanur is inseparable from the existence of a local hotel since the 60s. The presence of the Bali Beach around 1968 brought considerable changes in the tourism industry, but doesn’t change the culture and spirituality of Sanur.

Only, this time, he judged, the competition in the hospitality industry increasingly tight and uncontrollably. The uncontrolled addition of hotel rooms creates less hotel occupancy.

Even the hospitality industries are now being cornered by many government policies, ranging from taxation, licensing to copyright.

“A local hotel pitted in the free competition of modern industry with large-cap industry,” he said.

Griya Santrian is one hotel that operates after the Bali Beach Hotel. Originally named Santrian Beach Cottages (SBC) but turned into Griya Santrian.

The hotel became the forerunner of several hotels such as Puri Santrian and Royal Santrian.

The hotel became one of hotels that able to exist and flourish in the onslaught of international hotel brand.

Griya Santrian, which is part of the Santrian Corporation is one of the local ownership Bali hotel with first-established in Sanur. The hotel was first opened to guests in Sanur on May 1, 1972.

He said in order to celebrate its anniversary, Griya Santrian will organize several activities to take back its role as one of the pioneers of the hospitality and tourism industry in Bali.

Ideal located in the center of Sanur, a hotel with 128 rooms, it has a beautiful beach resort as icons. After operating for 44 years, the standard of service that is warm and genuine Balinese nuances increasingly

become the inspiration for the hospitality industry in Bali.

The man that casually called Gusde revealed that as one of the iconic hotels in Sanur, Griya Santrian became historical overview of the development of society and the business of Sanur travel. “This is a truly memorable year for us, in memory of our past, but still moving forward to welcome the future, as one of the best resorts, just like when we first opened our doors to guests in 1972,” he said.

From the first opening of the hotel, Griya Santrian is already running various community and social programs to promote the Sanur community, including holding annual Sanur Village Festival. It is also involved in environmental conservation program, and invites the community to support the Bali tourism industry and promote local economy.

Griya Santrian is in the process of updating the deluxe rooms that look fresher and open a new spa villa; Rama Sita Spa Villas. (kmb18)

Alicia Vikander will play Lara Croft in new Tomb Raider film

LOS ANGELES - She’s following in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie who starred in the first two adaptations of the game series more than 10 years ago.

There have been rumours of a sequel for years, with various Hollywood actresses linked to play the archaeologist-adventurer.

Daisy Ridley, Emilia Clarke, Cara Delevigne and Gemma Arterton were all front runners, according to reports. In February, Alicia won the best supporting actress Oscar for her role in The Danish Girl, opposite Eddie Redmayne.

She’s also been in Ex Machina and she’s recently finished filming alongside Matt Damon in Jason Bourne, which is out later this year.

Lara Croft first hit our screens in 1996 when Tomb Raider was released on PlayStation and PC. It’s since gone on to sell more than 45 million games around the world. Lara is one of the most famous faces in the gaming world with her brown ponytail, turquoise tank top and dual pistols.

And she became the first female character to make it onto the big screen. Three years ago the iconic game was re-booted with the director explaining to Newsbeat that he was “reimagining Tomb Raider for a modern

audience”.

He went on to say he wanted to give Lara “a well of emotional depth”, which is something Alicia will now be tasked with.

Vikander won an Oscar for her performance in “The Danish Girl,” and also

Prince’s motorcycle jacket from ‘Purple Rain’ film on auction CALIFORNIA - A motorcycle jacket worn by the late pop star Prince in his 1984 film “Purple Rain,” when he rides through the woods with the movie’s leading lady, Apollonia, will be sold at auction, the company behind the sale said on Friday.

The V-neck jacket, which is black with white cross-hatching and has leather sleeves from the elbows down, will be presented for sale in Profiles in History’s auction between June 29 and July 1 in Calabasas, California.

Brian Chanes, who handles client relations at Profiles in History, said the auction house received the

jacket about six weeks ago, before the musician’s unexpected death on April 21 at age 57.

Officials from the company had estimated the jacket would sell for between $6,000 and $8,000, but that was before Prince’s death, which drew an outpouring of tributes for the seven-time Grammy-winner from President Barack Obama, Hollywood figures and fans worldwide.

“Now, all bets are off,” Chanes said, adding that the jacket could fetch more than $100,000.

Profiles in History officials said few items of Prince memorabilia have ever been offered for sale.

The jacket was given to a makeup artist for Prince and Apollonia Kotero, a singer who starred as the pop star’s girlfriend in the 1984 film “Purple Rain,” and the make-up artist’s sister is the consignor for the sale, said Jeff Hare, a spokesman for Profiles in History.

The auction will be open to participants worldwide through the Internet, the company said.

Prince’s death at his home called Paisley Park near Minneapolis is under investigation by officials in Minnesota, but they have said there is no indication of suicide or physical trauma. (rtr)

Keeping cultural heritage with ‘Green Hotel’ concept

VIRTUALLY there is an encouraging phenomenon for tourism business in Bali when seeing the tendency of travelers that chooses eco-friendly products. With this change, Bali having long maintained the valuable heritage of customs, culture and traditions can be an option to be visited by more travelers. The government policy to encourage tourism businesses is by applying the green hotel concept as an effort to maintain the cultural heritage owned by this island of a thousand temples.

One of the speakers in the focus group discussions (FGD) of wonderful Indonesia on Thursday (Apr. 28) was Dr. Ketut Sumadi. This member of green hotel assessor team and Director of Graduate Program of

the IHDN Denpasar said that green hotel philosophy provides a deep understanding on the practices of local culture that can be enjoyed by travelers.

In this global era, there is a tendency for international community where they want to understand about other cultures through travel. The tourism sought after in this case is the destination that develops cultural tourism.

The government policy to promote the establishment of green hotel is in

line with the wishes of the contemporary travelers. As a matter of fact, the development of cultural tourism is basically to encourage the utilization of local production, maintain cultural values, norms, customs and religions as well as have orientation in natural and social aspect.

He said that globalization provides the opportunities for the rise of local cultural identities (local genius) worldwide. Local genius is part of the local wisdom having been selected, tested, and having very superior

quality locally and universally, so that it does not only play an important role for the formation of identity and pride, but also for the potential of development of competency both across the regions and across cultures.

In the meantime, the other speakers, Prof. Dr. Putu Rumawan Salain, explained more about the development of Balinese architecture, including the application in the tourism sector. The emergence of green hotel concept these days, he said, is a new paradigm that does not mean that hotel should be roofed or just painted green. However, the concept of green hotel here has a broader meaning and includes the overall architecture of the building and the surroundings.

This lecturer of the Faculty of Engineering at the Udayana University

revealed that architecture does not know which is right or wrong, but there is only the good and bad. On that account, it needs to be set by regulation. Moreover, many Balinese architectural elements are influenced by architectural styles of other country. All this time, the architecture in Bali, he said, knows four concepts of architecture, namely the Balinese traditional, local architecture, heritage (temple) architectural as well as nontraditional Balinese architecture.

“This widely happens today.

Except for the building of the Bali Hotel on Jalan Veteran, I categorize it into a heritage architectural. It was built during the colonial era. So, if the building is dismantled, after that it must be built up again as before,” he hoped. (ara)
