WELLINGTON — They may not have lost themselves in the music or the moment but a judge and nine lawyers in a New Zealand courtroom did listen politely to Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” as a copyright trial involving the country’s ruling political party began Monday.

The Detroit-based music publishers for Eminem are suing New Zealand’s conservative National Party, alleging the soundtrack for a 2014 election campaign ad copied the rapper’s acclaimed 2002 song. Titled “Eminem Esque,” the track has the familiar urgent, pulsing beat of the original. The party has previously said it purchased the track through an Australianbased supplier and doesn’t believe it has infringed anyone’s copyright. In 2014, when the case was filed, lawmaker Steven Joyce said he thought the use of the song was “pretty legal,” and that Eminem’s team “are just having a crack and a bit of an eye for the main chance because it’s an election campaign.” That response was widely ridiculed, including by comedian John Oliver on his show “Last Week Tonight.” “Pretty legal? That’s not a concept

that exists. That’s like being sort-of dead,” Oliver joked on the show. Spokespeople for both Joyce and the National Party said Monday they wouldn’t be commenting while the case was before the court. Garry Williams, the lawyer for Eminem’s music publishers Eight Mile Style, told the High Court in Wellington that the National Party had wanted a song that was edgy and modern but showed the party was dependable. He said the music fared better with focus groups than a classical piece. He quoted from National Party emails, including one in which the song is described as an Eminem “sound-alike” and another in which an agent for the party wrote “I guess the question we’re asking, if everyone thinks it’s Eminem, and it’s listed as Eminem Esque, how can we be confident that Eminem doesn’t say we’re

ripping him off?” Williams said the emails showed it was “utterly clear” the party knew it was using a copyrighted song. Speaking outside the court, Joel Martin, a spokesman for Eminem’s music publishers, said he was surprised the two sides hadn’t settled and that going to trial against an entity like a governing political party was unusual and extraordinary. “The bottom line is we would never have permitted the use of the song in any political advertisement,” he said. Martin said the publishers are seeking both a cash settlement for an undisclosed amount and an acknowledgement by the court that the National Party breached copyright. He said that by pursuing the case, they are showing they take copyright infringement around the world seriously. (ap)

Tokyo jeweler offers gold Darth Vader masks for $1.4 million

TOKYO — “Star Wars” fans with deep pockets might consider it a golden opportunity. A Tokyo jewelry store is offering life-size Darth Vader masks made of 24-karat gold at a hefty price of 154 million yen ($1.4 million) to mark the 40th anniversary of the release of the first “Star Wars” movie. The creation measures 26.5 centimeters (10.4 inches) wide and 30 centimeters (11.8 inches) high. The Ginza Tanaka store says the masks are not designed for wearing — at about 15 kilograms (33 pounds), they would be too

heavy, and they have no opening for a head. While the masks are its most expensive “Star Wars” memorabilia, the jeweler has made pricier products. In 2013, a gold Disneythemed Christmas tree was priced at 500 million yen ($4.5 million). Marketing manager Hirotsugu Tsuchiya said it took 10 goldsmiths three months to mold and assemble the prototype. “The most difficult aspect was that each section of the mask was created by a different gold craftsman and then assembled to make one Darth Vader mask,” Tsuchiya

said. Orders for the mask can be made at its main store in the glitzy Ginza shopping area where the prototype is on display. Customers will have to wait three months after ordering. For those looking for less expensive options, gold coins engraved with Yoda or Luke Skywalker will also be available starting at 132,300 yen ($1,200). They will go on sale Thursday, which is May 4, celebrated by some fans as “Star Wars” day because “May the fourth” evokes the film’s iconic line, “May the force be with you.” (ap)

NEW YORK - Labor unions and immigrant advocacy groups will lead May Day rallies in cities across the United States on Monday, with organizers expecting larger-than-usual turnouts to protest the immigration policies of President Donald Trump. The demonstrations could be the largest by immigrants since Trump’s inauguration on January 20, activists say, and some immigrant-run businesses plan to shut down for some or all of the day to protest the administration’s crackdown on immigrants living in the country illegally. “To me, it’s offensive the policies this president is trying to implement,” said Jaime Contreras, vice president of the Service Employees International Union’s 32BJ affiliate, which represents cleaners and other property service workers in 11 states.

“It’s a nation of immigrants, and separating immigrant families because of their immigration status, it goes against what we love about this wonderful country.” May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day, has typically been a quieter affair in the United States than in Europe, where it is a public holiday in many countries. In New York City, immigrant-run convenience stores and taxi services in upper Manhattan will close during the morning rush hour between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m., in a protest

reminiscent of those staged on “A Day Without Immigrants.” At lunchtime, fast-food workers will join elected officials at a rally outside a McDonald’s restaurant in midtown Manhattan, calling for more predictable work schedules. In the early evening, organizers expect thousands of demonstrators to gather at a rally in Manhattan’s Foley Square for musical performances and speeches by union leaders and immigrants living in the country illegally. In Los Angeles, organizers expect tens of thousands of people to gather in the morning at MacArthur Park before marching downtown to a rally before City Hall. Heightened precautions were also

in place in Seattle, where officials were on the lookout for incendiary devices and gun-carrying protesters after a January shooting outside a political event and an incident during May Day 2016 when a protester threw an unlit Molotov cocktail at police. Some Trump supporters said they would also turn out on May Day. Activist Joey Gibson said he and other conservatives will travel to Seattle to defend against what he described as communist and antifascist groups who have in the past faced off with police in the evening, after the conclusion of the usually peaceful daytime marches. “We’re going to go down there to help build courage for other people, especially conservatives,” Gibson said.

England Revellers in the English university city of Oxford took part in the annual May Morning festival on Monday an event famous for its centuries-old cultural traditions, as well as some rowdier modern ones. The festival features traditional music and dancing and frequently attracts crowds in the tens of thousands.

Tourism village needs support of digital promotion

DENPASAR - Pinge village has been designated as a tourism village by the government of Tabanan since 2004. There are many ancient heritages such as at Natar Jemeng Temple and traditional houses that have been set up awig-awig or customary bylaws. “So the building becomes not chaotic because people are not allowed to build outside their compound wall,” said Made Denayasa, chief of Pinge customary village in the discussion on tourism village, not long ago. He with local residents manages it according to Tri Hita Karana philosophy. With this philosophy, it will create har-

monious relationship between humans and fellow humans, humans and their environment as well as humans and God. Since the tourism village develops, the people’s economy of Pinge village gradually improves. “There used to be 20 families, now it has reduced to 11 families,” he said. They are involved to fill in culinary activities, entertainment in the form of traditional music and traditional arts. So, there is income for them. “We also have tour packages like planting rice, fishing pond and jogging tracks. They are results of the assistance from several agencies,” he added. Pinge village with a population of 811 families has established 10 homestays with 34 rooms. Beautiful nature with

cultural support becomes a plus point of a tourism activity. However, tourism without promotion will not be maximized. In this digital era, promotions are no longer enough with conventional promotions but must also apply digital promotions. Less maximum internet access at Pinge village for Denayasa is very difficult. “There used to be internet access when the minister made a visit. The internet was very good but only lasted for three hours coinciding with the minister’s visit,” he said. This happens because there has been no telecom operator and the payment is still made manually. Destination Development Division Head at the Bali Tourism Office, Nyoman Wardawan, said that the trend of tourism has shifted from mass tourism to alternative tourism. Mass tourism is considered less eco-friendly and poorly takes side to local community. Tourism village is considered as a form of alternative tourism development. Tourist destination products do not become a sought after product but tends to be a self-enrichment and self-actualization through enjoying different tourist situations such as adventure and special interest tourism like bird watching or wildlife or culture. “Tourism village is our way of improving the quality of destinations expected to increase the economy,” he said. However, to develop the tourism village is required a guide. Since 2013, the government of Bali province has built as many as 100 tourism villages. Introduction to dissemination of tourism village was begun in 2016. There are already 53 tourism villages having been coached. “So, we will pursue the remaining,” he said. All these processes need the help of all parties. They include improving the quality of targeted tourism villages by 2018. Tourism village communication forum (Forkom Dewi), I Made Mendra Astawa, supported the digitalization of tourism villages. However, he suggested the system must be easily implemented and will not become troublesome. In addition, it is better to make improvement in the human resources. Regional CEO of Bank Mandiri for Bali and Nusa Tenggara Region, R. Erwan Djoko Hermawan, said that Bank Mandiri is committed to realizing the digitalization system in order to facilitate financial transactions at tourism village in Bali. “Through the expansion of electronic banking services, we want to support the digitalization program of tourism villages in Bali as well as increasing the transactions of tourists when visiting Bali,” he said. To support the desire, the company will gradually educate tourism villages related to features of financial and non-financial transactions that can be done through electronic banking products of Bank Mandiri. Merchants of tourism-related services or products at tourism villages will gradually switch their payment mode to electronicbased payment. (kmb42)

Promising prospects

Bamboo weaving business difficult to get capital

SINGARAJA - Since many years ago, bamboo woven handicrafts have been cultivated by a number of residents at Mayungan hamlet, Sudaji, Sawan. Amid the presence of many orders, this home-based business

is hampered by capital. Woven bamboo crafts produced by local craftsmen are quite varied, ranging from small basket, basket to rooster cage. Due to having good enough quality, it is very salable in the market.

One of the craftsmen, Made Sarjana, 55, said that this craft has been worked on for generations. He himself has been cultivating this for 35 years. It cannot be separated from the prospect that has been able to support the necessities of life.

The products are quite popular among consumers especially for rooster cage, where the daily orders range from 50 to 60 pieces with the price of IDR 45,000 each. “The price depends on the type and model,” he said on Sunday (Apr. 30).

Amid the high enough orders, Sarjana said that his business is still often facing difficulty to get capital, especially for the purchase of raw materials, such as bamboo and rattan. “We are still facing capital problem,” he said. (kmb45)

SpaceX launches top-secret spy satellite for US government CAPE CANAVERAL — SpaceX has launched a top-secret spy satellite for the U.S. government.

The unmanned Falcon 9 rocket lifted off Monday morning from its NASA-leased pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It hoisted a classified satellite for the

National Reconnaissance Office. Several minutes into the flight, the first stage booster — its job done — aimed for a touchdown at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

SpaceX strives to return most of its first-stage boosters for reuse. This was the fourth SpaceX booster landing at Cape Canaveral; even more have landed on an

ocean platform. Sonic booms, as usual, rattled the area around the launch site. The company’s first recycled rocket flew last month. (ap)

Stench of medical waste incineration of Nyitdah Hospital often complained

TABANAN — Incineration of medical waste by using incinerator at Nyitdah Hospital, Kediri, often gets complaints from local people. Smoke of the waste combustion exudes bad odor. This condition is of course feared to also disturb patients’ comfort if this hospital has started to operate next June.

Coal terminal would boost global climate-warming gas

SEATTLE — A coal-export terminal proposed in Washington state

would increase cancer risks for some residents, make rail accidents more

AP Photo/Nati Harnik, file

In this June 2, 2014 file photo, a hill of coal at the North Omaha Station, a coal-burning power station, in Omaha, Neb. At the Trump administration’s request, a federal appeals court agreed Friday to postpone a ruling on lawsuits challenging Obamaera restrictions on carbon emissions.

likely and add millions of metric tons of climate-changing greenhouse gas globally every year, according to an environmental study released Friday. Millennium Bulk TerminalsLongview wants to build the facility along the Columbia River near the city of Longview to handle up to 44 million tons of coal a year. Coal would arrive by train from Montana, Wyoming and other states to be stored and loaded on ships heading to energyhungry markets in Asia. The yearslong fight over the deepwater port comes as President Donald Trump has vowed to revive the struggling coal industry and lifted restrictions on mining coal and drilling for oil and natural gas. Environmentalists, tribes and others have fiercely opposed the project, which could increase U.S. exports of coal by 40 percent, because of concerns about global warming, coal dust pollution and potential damage to fisheries on the river. Businesses, some labor groups and other supporters say the project would create jobs, add tax revenue and boost the local economy. The governor of

Wyoming, the nation’s leading coalproducing state, previously traveled to the Pacific Northwest to pitch the importance of coal exports to the governors of Washington and Oregon. The environmental review by the state Department of Ecology and Cowlitz County analyzed potential harm to fish habitat, wetlands, water quality, local communities and more. Of 23 environmental issues, 19 would face harmful effects, and some could not be offset or reduced, officials said. “All of those issues are concerning, but especially the impact to people’s health is problematic,” ecology department director Maia Bellon said in an interview. In a statement, Millennium CEO Bill Chapman said, “We have carefully designed the project to protect air and water quality, fish and wildlife, groundwater and people in accordance with regulatory requirements.” Agencies will use the review to decide more than 20 permits needed before the coal terminal can be built. The review found coal dust pollution from trains would not be major because emissions levels would be

below state and federal standards. But pollution from locomotives would raise the cancer risk for one low-income neighborhood. Residents also would see more noise and traffic delays at rail crossings without a quiet zone or other measures, the study said. At full capacity, the project would add 16 more trains through the area and increase the number of ships by 1,680 a year. The increased rail traffic “would increase the potential for train accidents,” the review said. The project also would result in a net annual increase of nearly 2 million metric tons of greenhouse gases when the exported coal is burned in Asia. Regulators called on developers to offset that pollution by buying carbon credits or investing in renewable energy projects. Critics said the request oversteps state law and would set a bad precedent. Kris Johnson, president of the Association of Washington Business, said state law was designed to offset harmful effects near a project and within the state — not worldwide. (ap)

“It is often complained because the smell is not good during the burning process. Naturally, it happens because of the solid and liquid medical waste such as syringes, bandages, infusion and cotton formerly containing blood samples of patients and so on,” explained Director of Nyitdah Hospital, Nyoman Wisma Brata, not long ago. He added that medical waste processed in the combustion is from the Tabanan Hospital, public health center and Nyitdah Hospital. Moreover, the incinerator in the area of Nyitdah Hospital is arguably the biggest in Tabanan, and has been used to process medical waste since 2008. The incinerator is said to have the capacity of one cubic meter of medical waste per day. “We have proposed to the environment agency to fight for it so that it can be processed in the landfill because the permit is issued by the environment agency,” he said. Meanwhile, the Head of the Tabanan Environment Agency, Raka Iswara, when contacted separately, admitted that based on the observations all this time the results of incinerator at Nyitdah Hospital is less maximum. Some medical waste cannot be burned perfectly. “The temperature should be improved,” he said. Regarding the proposal to relocate the incinerator to Mandung landfill, this official from Kediri said that it could be done as long as the rules allow. However, it must be reviewed again in terms of performance aspect of the hospital, whether it is effectively done or not. “As long as the rules allow, it’s okay. But, has it been effectively undertaken?” he questioned. When asked about the solution from the environment agency, related to the unpleasant odor from the incinerator at the Nyitdah Hospital, Raka Iswara suggested finding a suitable location away from settlement. “The land at Nyitdah Hospital remains wide. The incinerator can be relocated because many houses have been established in the south of it,” he concluded. In the meantime, the Head of the Mandung Landfill Unit, Ni Luh Sukartini, admitted that her institution has proposed the development of medical waste treatment regenerator in 2018. “Hopefully, it can be approved,” she said. She said the proposal had been submitted to the provincial working unit in the form of proposal that will be submitted to central government because the proposal is for construction of building used to incinerate medical waste.

Tourism management rated not maximal

Govt asked to involve customary villages

BANGLI — All this time, the tourism management in Bangli is still considered not maximal. Tourism management cannot only be done by the local government alone. In order to maximize the management of tourist objects, in the future it should be better organized. The community or customary village around the tourism object plays an active role in the management of the object development. Deputy Chairman of the Bangli House of Representatives, I Komang Carles, explained on Saturday (Apr. 30) that management of the existing attractions in Bangli has not been maximized. He said the tourism management should be more organized again in the future and customary villages must be involved by local government. “Management of tourist objects cannot be done alone by lo-

cal government. All parties must play a role to make tourism in Bangli successful. One of them is customary village whose role is very much needed in the tourism management of Bangli to make it more advanced in the future,” said

Komang Carles. Carles exemplified that so far the Penglipuran tourism village has developed quite rapidly. The management is also good. Everything cannot be separated from the role of customary village that has seriously arranged the attraction, so that the existing object can develop as it is today. “It means that other than local government, the role of customary village is very important in the tourism development,” he explained. Carles pointed out that sanitation problem of tourist attractions at Penglipuran village has been so organized. According to him, the tourist attraction of Penglipuran has the predicate as the cleanest tourist attraction. It means that local residents are really maintaining the sanitation and beauty of the tourist attraction. “There, people will not be willing when told to throw out garbage. Thus, sanitation has been

well maintained. It can become one of the magnets to attract visitors,” he said. He said the parliament hoped that all the existing tourist attractions in Bangli can follow the management pattern of Penglipuran tourist object in the future. With such management, he believed that tourism in Bangli will be better than the current condition. In addition, coaching for tourism players should be continuously encouraged as well. So far, they are still not maximized because they give impression to operate individually. Therefore, coaching must be done to improve the quality of human resources. “If tourism management is good, visitors will be obviously interested to make a visit. Moreover, the clean, orderly and beautiful tourist attraction will attract visitors, so that villagers and the government

have to work together to promote the tourism in Bangli,” he said. Other than the matter of tourism management, the parliament also encouraged all the sources of income including the tourism office becoming one of the sources of the regionally generated revenue (PAD) to implement the system based on information technology (IT). Due to the current development of technology, the manual system should be abandoned and use the information technology-based system. “Moreover, in the recent working meeting, the financial, revenue and asset agency has encouraged how much budget is needed to provide the support of information technology. Now, we submit to them how far they follow up the encouragement we have given to use information technology system in all revenues,” concluded Komang Carles. (kmb41)

Defiant N.Korea hints at nuclear tests to boost force “to the maximum”

SEOUL - North Korea suggested on Monday it will continue its nuclear weapons tests, saying it will bolster its nuclear force “to the maximum” in a “consecutive and successive way at any moment” in the face of what it calls U.S. aggression and hysteria.

North Korea’s “measures for bolstering the nuclear force to the maximum will be taken in a consecutive and successive way at any moment and any place decided by its supreme leadership,” the spokesman said. Reclusive North Korea has carried out five nuclear tests and a series of missile tests in defiance of U.N. Security Council and unilateral resolutions. It has been conducting such tests at an unprecedented rate and is believed to have made progress in developing intermediate-range and submarinelaunched missiles. It test-launched a missile on Sat-

‘TOP PRIORITY’ South Korea said the United States had reaffirmed it would shoulder the cost of deploying the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system to counter the North Korean threat, days after Trump said Seoul should pay for the $1 billion battery. In a telephone call on Sunday, Trump’s national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, reassured his South Korean counterpart, Kim Kwan-jin, that the U.S. alliance with South Korea was its top priority in the Asia-Pacific region, the South’s presidential office said. Trump, asked about his message to North Korea after the latest missile test, told reporters: “You’ll soon find out,” but did not elaborate on what the U.S. response would be. (rtr)

U.S. President Donald Trump has said a “major, major conflict” with North Korea is possible over its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes, while China said last week the situation on the Korean peninsula could escalate or slip out of control. In a show of force, the United States has sent the nuclear-powered USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier group to waters off the Korean peninsula to join drills with South Korea to counter a series of threats of destruction from North Korea, formally known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). “Now that the U.S. is kicking up the overall racket for sanctions and pressure against the DPRK, pursuant to its new DPRK policy called ‘maximum pressure and engagement’, the DPRK will speed up at

TOKYO - A Vietnamese man who complained of pain before dying of a stroke at a Japanese immigration detention center was left lying on the floor for hours before the guards called an ambulance, a government document said, suggesting that deficiencies in monitoring remain in the country’s detention system. The death of 47-year-old Nguyen The Huan, also known as Nguyen The Hung, was the 13th in Japan’s immigration detention system since 2006, a toll that has provoked criticism about conditions inside. For a week before his death, Nguyen had been groaning and complaining of headaches and neck pain, according to a report by the East Japan Immigration Centre reviewed by Reuters, and was moved to a solitary cell for monitoring. Guards heard him groaning through an intercom on March 24 and checked on him. They saw him lying on the ground, seemingly asleep. After six hours, when guards noticed that his posture hadn’t changed, they entered the room to find him unconscious and not breathing. They began CPR and called an ambulance. The previously unreported details show Nguyen died under similar circumstances to a 2014 death of a Sri Lankan detainee. A Reuters investigation of that case found that guards did not call an ambulance until hours after the detainee suffered a heart attack because they had thought he was asleep. “This death is the same (as the Sri Lankan’s). They both died because they were left alone,” said a member of the watchdog who had read the internal report. “The guards haven’t learned.” The member, who declined to be identified due to the sensitivity of the case, said there should be a system for monitoring the vital signs of ill detainees around the clock and that guards should at least call on sick detainees to see if they are all right. Daisuke Akinaga, an official at the East Japan Immigration Centre, declined to comment on the details of Nguyen’s death but said the center did not think there were problems with how it responded. He added that the justice ministry was investigating. The ministry said it could not comment on the center’s response as the investigation was ongoing. (rtr)

BUSINESS Venezuela’s Maduro hikes minimum wage amid rising protests

CARACAS — Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro hiked wages and handed out hundreds of free homes Sunday amid his efforts to counter a strengthening protest movement seeking his removal. On his regular television show, “Sundays with Maduro,” the president ordered a 60 percent increase in the country’s minimum wage starting Monday. It was the third pay increase the socialist leader has ordered this year and the 15th since he became president in 2013. It is small solace to workers who seen the buying power of their earnings eroded by a sinking currency and the world’s highest inflation — forecast to accelerate to 2,000 percent next year, according to the International Monetary Fund. With the latest wage increase and mandatory food subsidies, the minimum take home pay for millions of Venezuelans now stands at 200,000 bolivars a month — or less than $50 at the widely used black market rate. “We’re here to take care of the workers, those who are most humble, and not the privileges of the oligarchs,” Maduro said. In addition to the pay hike, he announced a special “economic war” bonus to retirees to make up for what he says are attempts by the opposition to sabotage the economy. The president also watched as officials in several states handed over the keys to hundreds of new apartments, some built with Chinese funding, bringing to 1.6 million the number of public housing units built by a program started by the late President Hugo Chavez. The announcements came as

government supporters and Maduro’s opponents prepared for rival marches to commemorate May Day on Monday. Twenty-nine people have been killed, hundreds injured and more than 1,300 arrested during a month of protests that are the bloodiest to hit Venezuela since anti-government unrest in 2014 resulted in more than 40 dead. Protesters accuse Maduro of taking Venezuela down the path of dictatorship, unrest triggered by the government-stacked Supreme Court stripping congress of its last vestiges of power. They are demanding early elections and freedom for dozens of political prisoners as a way out of the stalemate. The opposition blames the recent deaths on security forces and pro-government militias for the deaths. The government has complained of what it considers biased media coverage that will pave the way for some sort of foreign intervention in Venezuela. On Saturday, Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez met with foreign correspondents for a second straight week to present the government’s case. Rodriguez sought to “completely disprove” the opposition’s claim that security forces fired a tear gas canister which hit the chest of 20-year-old college student and killed him died during a protest in Caracas last week. She said there were strong indications that the youth, Juan Pablo

Pernalete, might have been killed with a cattle stun gun used against him by fellow protesters. As political tensions have mounted, Maduro, a former bus driver, has worked hard to reinforce his everyman image. In recent days he has appeared on state TV tossing a baseball around with aides, rapping with a hip-hop group and taking first lady Cilia Flores on a popular tourist gondola to the top of Avila Mountain overlooking Caracas. But the campaign to project business as usual has sometimes backfired.

For example, last week he posted to his more than 3 million followers on Twitter a video showing him driving a car at night through a neighborhood that hours earlier experienced street clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces. It didn’t take long before someone noticed that passing by the open passenger window was a large graffiti scribbled on a wall that read “Maduro: Assassin of students.” Maduro on Sunday repeated his call for dialogue, which the opposition has rejected after Vatican-sponsored

talks collapsed in December with little progress. He also repeated a pledge to hold gubernatorial elections soon, perhaps as early as this year. Many in the opposition consider Maduro’s offer of gubernatorial elections an empty concession and are pushing for an early presidential vote after the government cancelled regional races last year. Maduro’s allies currently govern in 20 of Venezuela’s 23 states but polls indicate the opposition would likely win the next election after it took control of congress in December 2015 by a landslide.(ap)

Puerto Rico releases offer to bondholders

SAN JUAN — The Puerto Rico government is offering to pay its senior creditors around 50 cents on the dollar as part of efforts to address its economic crisis. The government released at midnight Friday its offer to holders of constitutionally backed general obligation and sales-tax bonds. It provides $16.75 billion to cover a $36.38 billion debt, though bondholders could receive an additional $8 billion if the government receives more money than forecast over the next decade. Other, junior bondholders would

get paid only if Puerto Rico outperforms its cash flow estimates, according to the plan. “The commonwealth’s proposal is not a credible starting point for negotiations,” said Andrew Rosenberg, an adviser to general obligation bondholders, in a written statement Saturday. He said the offer is based on a fiscal plan that has “many errors and unexplained numbers.” The commonwealth loses protection from creditor lawsuits at midnight Monday, but the federal oversight board overseeing Puerto Rico’s

efforts to straighten out its finances is considering a bankruptcy-like path to restructuring debt that would also give protection from lawsuits. Gov. Ricardo Rossello said Saturday afternoon that talks with creditors continue and he hopes they lead to a solution to Puerto Rico’s financial situation. “I have always looked to do this in a way where all of the parties arrive at an agreement. However, as governor I have a series of instruments, and if I understand that it is in the best interests of the people of Puerto Rico, I will use

the instruments in my possession,” Rossello said. The Puerto Rico official heading up its restructuring effort said the proposal is intended to “maximize returns to its creditors in a manner consistent with Puerto Rico’s goals for economic growth.” Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority Executive Director Gerardo Portela said officials are “committed in their good faith efforts to reach a consensual resolution with the government’s creditors” and expect talks to continue over several weeks.

Rossello signed legislation Saturday that cuts public employee benefits, seeks to increase tax revenue and empowers the government to access funds set aside for certain bonds and surpluses from public corporations when necessary. Puerto Rico plans to hike water rates, privatize government operations and close a bank that once oversaw the island’s debt transactions as part of efforts to confront its debt and economic challenges. The measures were outlined in new fiscal plans presented Friday to the federal control board.(ap)

Repel Calamities, Residents of Sema Agung Do Melasti with Tektekan

There are always unique things under the skies of Bali Island. Melasti procession held by residents of Sema Agung customary village, Tusan, Banjarangkan, Klungkung, to Tegal Besar Beach, Negari Village, on Tuesday (Apr. 11), looked different from the usual. It happens because the residents carried tektekan (bamboo split drum) and put on a hat of green coconut leaves with the aim of rejecting calamities. This procession was held in a series of ngusaba desa at local village. While cheering, people hit the bamboo along the road leading to the beach so that generates tektekan sound believed by citizens as the gong of the gods. They also believe that tektekan is used to dismiss calamities or a kind of ritual to dismiss pest and diseases. But in keeping with the passage of time, the use of tektekan is equipped with bamboo fire blower and gamelan. “Historically, this tradition has been indeed inherited from past time. According to our senior figures, in the past the tektekan was trusted to dismiss calamities like in the nangluk merana ritual,” said the priest of Dalem Penyarikan Puseh Bale Agung Temple of

Once completed, they are collected at Dalem Penyarikan Temple to be ritually activated (pasupati). The making of such bamboo split drum or tektekan is done in turn by customary villagers. Currently, the tektekan is made by residents of Kawan hamlet, while the ritual is organized by Kanginan hamlet. More specifically, Jro Mangku Purna said the melasti procession is started by residents by gathering at the intersection of Sema Agung.

Padlock of Love, Romantic Attraction in Tegallalang, Gianyar Padlock of Love becomes a romantic tourist attraction visited by many young people. Located at Gagah hamlet, Tegallalang, Gianyar, this attraction has become famous since the beginning of 2017. As the name implies, this tourist attraction offering panoramic paddy field background is targeting young people who are in lovesick. There is a special place to tie their love. Local travelers and those from outside Bali come in droves to tie their love on the stage in the form of padlock as high as three meters. Young couples then can take selfie photo on stage in the middle of paddy fields that reads ‘love’ with beautiful colors. “Hopefully, the atmosphere and aura of this place could make our love everlasting,” said Made Setiawan and Putu Rani who are tying their love in the Padlock of Love. This new tourist spot is interesting. The atmosphere is silent, cool and peaceful. The open stage has been protected with safety rod at the edges. It is purposely made as a place to take selfie photo for visitors that want to immortalize the most beautiful memories. This tool then becomes an icon commonly

known as the Padlock of Love. Although prepared for the young, this Padlock of Love attraction is also appropriate to be visited by children or adult travelers, especially those who like having a promenade. Terraced paddy fields offer beautiful panorama, and it is rich in activities. One of them is the farmers remaining to work on their paddy fields traditionally. The padlock of love is equipped with a restaurant with Balinese traditional style building. The menus offered are mostly traditional, such as gado-gado, fruit salad, ice with jelly-like filler and young coconut, as well as various Balinese snacks. After taking selfie, visitors can take advantage of this restaurant to relax while enjoying the menus. Operations Manager of the Padlock of Love attraction, I Wayan Sugiartha, said that the land conjured up into the attraction was almost sold at a fantastic price. However, he rethought to sell his land because it is the only heritage of his ancestors. He then established a new contemporary tourist attraction. “We name this new attraction the Padlock of Love,” said Sugiarta. (kmb)

The procession is done to ward off pests or eliminate calamities or disaster at village such as diseases and epidemics. Residents walk along five kilometers to the beach and resume the melasti procession to Tegal Besar Beach. A few people are in trance from the road to Tegal Besar Beach. After sprinkled with holy water, the devotees in trance then regained their consciousness. Arriving back from melasti procession to the beach, the deities spun clockwise at the boundaries of Sema Agung customary village. Next, the deities were enthroned at Melanting Temple. “After the deities are enthroned at Melanting Temple, the following day, Wednesday (Apr. 12) the deities dance, and the ritual then comes to an end on the Penampa-

han Kuningan,” said Jro Mangku Purna. According to Jro Mangku Purna, after carrying out melasti the tektekan is put at the temple. It is allowed to be taken home by residents after the closing ceremony at the Dalem Penyarikan. Tektekan can also be used for the next year in

the same ceremony. But if broken, it can be replaced with the new one by the residents and activated. “In the 1970s, the deities of Dalem Penyarikan performed melasti procession to the beach, while the face of companion is smeared with char. However, it is rarely done today,” he said. (kmb)

Turkish police fire tear gas at May Day demonstrators in Istanbul

ISTANBUL - Police in Istanbul fired tear gas and rubber bullets to break up a group of May Day demonstrators on Monday, a Reuters witness said, as authorities detained more than 200 people at protests around the city.

Protests for May Day, the international workers’ holiday, are an annual occurrence in Turkey and have in the past been characterised by widespread police actions against demonstrators. Protests were expected to be more subdued this year after unions said they would not attempt to march on Taksim Square, a traditional rallying point for antigovernment protests that has been declared off-limits for demonstrators. Police presence was heavy across the city, with helicopters buzzing overhead. Tensions are particularly high after President Tayyip Erdogan narrowly won a referendum last month giving him sweeping new powers. Police in the Mecidiyekoy neighbourhood used tear gas and rubber bullets on a group of protesters who were attempting to march towards Taksim Square. They were shouting “Taksim is ours and it will remain ours”. The square became the focal point for weeks of anti-

Erdogan demonstrations in 2013. Two demonstrators who managed to reach it were detained shortly after they unfurled a banner, Dogan news agency said. In the Besiktas neighbourhood, where two years ago police used water cannon on stone-throwing May Day demonstrators, dozens of people were rounded up for attempting to make their way to Taksim. “A total of 207 people have been detained,” the Istanbul governor’s office said in a statement, adding that some 40 Molotov cocktails, 17 hand grenades and 176 fireworks had been confiscated. Illegal posters were also seized, it said. Rights groups and some of Turkey’s Western allies say Ankara has sharply curtailed freedom of speech and other basic rights in the crackdown that followed a failed coup last year. Since his referendum win, Erdogan has conducted two further purges, targeting the police, civil service and military. Over the weekend, 3,900 people were removed from the civil service and the armed forces, while authorities blocked access to online encyclopaedia Wikipedia, citing a law allowing the banning of access to websites deemed obscene or a threat to national security. Erdogan says the measures are necessary given the security threats faced by Turkey. (rtr)

Tornadoes, storms kill 11 in U.S. South DALLAS - Tornadoes ripped through an East Texas county on Saturday evening, killing at least four people and injuring dozens, while high winds, falling trees and floods killed five in neighboring states, according to news reports. Three tornadoes were confirmed by the U.S. National Weather Service in Canton, a city about 60 miles (95 km) east of Dallas in Van Zandt County. The winds flipped over cars, snapped trees, destroyed houses and left roads strewn with debris and fallen power lines, according to photographs and video published by the Dallas Morning News. “We have at least four fatalities,” Canton Mayor Lou Ann Everett said at a news conference on Sunday, adding that number could rise. “The damage was extensive in the affected area. It is heartbreaking and upsetting.” Forty-nine people had been treated for injuries, she said. Earlier a Canton fire department captain said he believed five people had been killed. The mayor urged people to stay away from a sprawling flea market known as First Monday Trade Days, as crews tried to clean up debris. Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent a search and rescue team to the area.

The storms caused floods in neighboring states, killing a 72-year-old woman in southwestern Missouri who was washed away in her car, according to local media reports. In Arkansas, a woman was killed when a tree fell on her mobile home in DeWitt, and a 10-year-old girl was killed after flood waters swept her away in Springdale, ABC News reported. A fire chief responding to the storm was killed on Sunday in Cleburne County, the county sheriff said At least two other people reportedly died in storm-related incidents, while two children were missing after their mother’s car was swept from a road by floodwaters in Madison County. As many as 100,000 homes and businesses lost power, and Gov. Asa Hutchinson declared a state of emergency on Sunday night. In Mississippi, a person was killed after a tree fell on their house in Durant, ABC reported. The governors of Missouri and Oklahoma declared states of emergency. In the St. Louis area, severe thunderstorms were forecast through Sunday.

Nadal eases to 10th Barcelona Open title BARCELONA - Rafael Nadal won a recordextending 10th Barcelona Open title on Sunday by thrashing Dominic Thiem of Austria 6-4 6-1, collecting his second claycourt title in a row. Nadal, who won the Monte Carlo Masters for a 10th time last week, romped to the title without dropping a set on the newly renamed Rafa Nadal court at the Real Tennis Club in Barcelona, and needed just 90 minutes to finish off Thiem. Thiem had beaten the 14-times Grand Slam champion on clay in the Argentina Open last year and

GIANYAR - Tegallalang handicraft centre is famous for arts and crafts, located in the district of the same name just several kilometres north of the main Ubud hub. The Jalan Raya Tegallalang main road traverses 10.5km through this Bali heartland, and halfway you will find the famous scenic stopover on most day excursions to the northern parts of the island such as Kintamani via Ubud. Although agriculture still remains the primary source of living among locals, the area and surrounding villages also produce a large variety of curios. Tegallalang handicraft centre owes to the various cottage industries found here, which deal with the manufacture and worldwide exports of an assortment of

handicrafts and furniture items. It is not an overstatement to say that perhaps the Tegallalang route may also have the longest row of art shops in the world, making a drive along the main route a colourful one indeed. A half-hour’s drive north from the Ubud intersection at the eastern end of Jalan Raya Ubud brings you to a much cooler and elevated region in the island’s heartland. The dramatic view of its rice terraces also provides a cool and breezy spot for visitors to stop and take photos. Many artists also bring their canvases here to paint. Apart from the rows of art shops along the Tegallalang handicraft centre, the namesake rice terraces are famous for their splendid

landscapes. Amazing rice paddies overlook hills and streams and are explored through pedalling or trekking to Tegallalang as well as other villages around Ubud such as Pejeng and Campuhan. At the viewpoint, located on the eastern roadside, the wide green vista spreads down before you and away to the valley and rice terraces on the opposite side. Afternoons are even more dramatic for photographers wishing to capture the scenery. The art shops lining the route of the Tegallalang handicraft centre feature an assortment of colourful and unique items of different shapes and sizes, from interior ornaments, furniture, typical Balinese curios and many others. Several shops

specialising in accessories present a variety of jewellery ranging from rings, bracelets, necklaces, bandanas, which are made from a mixture of materials such as mother of pearl, shells, wood, stone as well as beads and resin. For those interested in accessories, prices vary greatly. The trip to Tegallalang is truly a treat for the eyes, with the many choices of handicrafts and colourful items on display, including paintings. Some shops feature fixed prices... nevertheless, bargaining remains a must. Good to Know The farmer who owns the land sells young coconut drinks and woven hats made from coconut

leaves. It is also common sight to see him posing on the grassy ledge then approaching photographers for a small fee. Souvenir peddlers also follow suit, but simply enjoy the view if no item interests you. Besides, the whole roadside shops within the handicraft centre are full of these goods. A further drive up north you’ll find the craftsman’s dominion of in Tegallalang’s Pakudui Village. A right turn up from the famed rice paddy leads to the village with its Garuda carvings and various wooden animal sculptures.

The Mallorcan took a while to impose himself on Thiem on an overcast day in Barcelona with the cold weather slowing down the court. Thiem earned the first break-

There was no let-up in the second set from Nadal, who broke the 23-year-old Austrian twice in a row before serving for the championship and wrapping up his 51st tournament win on clay.

“I’m especially happy for these 10 victories in two tournaments that are as special to me as Monte Carlo and Barcelona, especially here as it’s my club, and for the support of these incredible fans,” Nadal told Spanish network TVE. “It’s a dream start to the claycourt season.” Thiem paid tribute to his opponent after Nadal’s 71st tournament

win in his career. “First of all congrats to Rafa, 10 titles here and in Monte Carlo, it’s unbelievable,” he said. “I really enjoyed the week in Barcelona.

return to their factories with two wins apiece. Mercedes have a one point lead in the constructors’ championship while Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel, with two wins and two second places, is 13 clear of Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton. “It’s going to be extremely close,” said Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff. “More than very. “They (Ferrari) came out of the winter with a good car and it seems to suit Sebastian a lot. And we just need to stretch ourselves to perform as good as we can,” added the Austrian. So far success has alternated between the two teams, with Vettel winning the opener in Australia, Hamilton in China, Vettel again in Bahrain and Valtteri Bottas taking his career first success in Russia for the team he joined in January. In 2016, Mercedes were dominant and won all but two of the races with 20 pole positions from 21 starts but resurgent Ferrari -who won nothing -- have already recast the 2017 landscape. Vettel’s pole in Sochi was Ferrari’s first since 2015 and the front row lockout the first grid since 2008 with both red cars at the front. There can be no doubt now that the sport’s oldest and most

successful team are back with a vengeance. The split between the Mercedes drivers has favoured Vettel, whose own Finnish team mate Kimi Raikkonen has scored 49 points to the German’s 86 while Hamilton and Bottas are separated by just 10. Red Bull are a distant third at present, with Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo fifth and sixth in the standings, but they too could get back into the mix if impending upgrades to their engine and chassis are as good as they hope. “I think it will be a very close race between Mercedes and us... and I also hope that Red Bull find some pace,” said Vettel, who won his four world championships with that team before joining Ferrari. “There’s lots of rumours around. They are a strong team, they know how to build a quick car so I expect it’s a question of when rather than if. But the sooner, the more exciting it will be for us.” Verstappen won for Red Bull in Spain last year, his first career victory, after Hamilton and nowretired team mate Nico Rosberg collided on the first lap and nobody is taking anything for granted now.

Real Madrid are the only team who have stopped Atletico Madrid adding a Champions League triumph to their achievements under Diego Simeone and for the fourth year running the Rojiblancos’ illustrious neighbours block their path to European glory. Atletico under their charismatic Argentine coach have seen off the giants of the European game past and present, beating AC Milan, Chelsea, Juventus, Bayern Munich and twice knocking out Barcelona, but they have repeatedly fallen to their neighbours. Atletico have shaken off their inferiority complex against Real in every other competition under Simeone, beating them twice in the King’s Cup and winning four of their last eight league derbies, but not in Europe’s elite arena. Real host Atletico in Tuesday’s semi-final, first leg having beaten them 5-3 on penalties in the 2016 final and 4-1 in extra time in the 2014 showpiece when defender Sergio Ramos’s 93rd minute equaliser denied Atletico a first Champions League crown. Real’s European dominance over Atletico runs as far back as Alfredo di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas deciding a semi-final in 1958/59, while Javier Hernandez got the only goal in a quarter-final in 2014/15, the other two-legged affair between them. While Atletico are waiting to win the European Cup for the first time, Real want a 12th triumph to become the first team to retain the trophy in the Champions League era. The winners of the tie will face Monaco

or Juventus, who play on Wednesday.

PARIS - Nice dealt Paris St Germain’s Ligue 1 title hopes a huge blow by beating them 3-1 in a stormy match on Sunday which ended with the losing side receiving two red cards. Second-placed PSG, who have three games to play, were left three points behind leaders AS Monaco who also have a game in hand. Nice trail PSG by another three points in third. Mario Balotelli and Ricardo Pereira scored to put Nice 2-0 ahead before Marquinhos pulled one back. Anastasios Donis scored Nice’s third in the 90th minute, in between red cards for Thiago Motta and Angel Di Maria. Tempers had flared several times before that, with PSG forward Edinson Cavani in the thick of the trouble. Nice went ahead in the 26th minute after Ricardo Pereira broke out of his half and charged down the right. He seemed to have run into a dead end but turned back and laid the ball off to Balotelli, who held off Marco Verratti and curled a low shot under Kevin Trapp’s hands and into the corner from 20 metres for his 14th goal of the season. Shortly afterwards, there was a flare-up when Paul Baysee and Cavani tangled in the Nice penalty area but the referee let the feuding

pair off with a warning. Nice extended their lead three minutes after halftime, Pereira cutting inside and curling the ball past Trapp after Younis Belhanda had led a quick counter-attack. That was followed by more trouble, firstly when Cavani pushed Nice coach Lucien Favre out of the way to retrieve the ball and then when Balotelli angered Blaise Matuidi by show-boating near the corner flag. Marquinhos pulled a goal back in the 64th minute and a PSG equaliser looked on the cards until Motta was sent off for an incident in the Nice penalty area after the ball had been cleared. From the resulting free kick, Nice goalkeeper Yoan Cardinale sent Pereira away down the right and his cross was headed in by Donis at the far post. PSG’s frustration boiled over when Di Maria recklessly scythed down Arnaud Souquet and was sent off. Florian Thauvin scored a hattrick to lead sixth-placed Marseille to a 5-1 win at relegation-threatened Caen while Maxime Lopez scored the other two for the visitors. The result sent Caen into 18th place, the relegation playoff spot, while Dijon moved above them on goal difference after a 0-0 draw against Bordeaux. (rtr)

ATLETI INJURIES

Atletico’s preparations for their fourth consecutive European showdown with Real were hit by Jose Gimenez sustaining a groin injury in Saturday’s 5-0 hammering of Las Palmas, leaving Simeone missing three defenders for the first leg as right backs Sime Vrsaljko and Juanfran are also out. Winger Yannick Carrasco hurt his collarbone in Tuesday’s 1-0 home defeat by Villarreal, Atleti’s first loss in 13 games in all competitions, although the Belgian returned to full training on Sunday to boost his chances of facing Real. Simeone praised his team’s resilience after they responded to the Villarreal loss by ruthlessly thrashing Las Palmas helped by three early goals. “The team’s response fills me with pride, I never tire of praising these players, they are incredible,” he said. “Four days after that defeat they killed the game off in 18 minutes and that’s down to one word, the team.” Atletico will need to magnify their collective efforts if they are to finally topple a Real Madrid side who have perfected the art of winning in this campaign without hitting top form. Zinedine Zidane’ side shook off a dogged Valencia side 2-1 at the Bernabeu on Saturday with a late winner by Marcelo, the 20th goal Real have scored in the final 10 minutes in the league this season, which kept their bid for a 33rd title on track. “We showed great spirit and proved to everyone who we are,” said the Brazilian. “With our fans behind us, it’s very difficult to beat us here.” (rtr)

Muntari walks off pitch after card for complaining about racist chants

ROME - Pescara’s Ghanaian midfielder Sulley Muntari abandoned the pitch on Sunday, saying he had been booked for complaining about racist chanting from the crowd during his team’s 1-0 defeat at Cagliari in Serie A. Muntari was shown the yellow card for dissent by referee Daniele Minelli in the 90th minute and walked off the pitch in protest during stoppage time, leaving his team to play the last few minutes with 10 men. The 32-year-old told television reporters that a group of fans had been insulting him from the start of the match, including a group of children. He said he offered the children his shirt to set an example but the insults continued in the

second half. “He told me I should not talk to the crowd. I asked him if had heard the insults. I insisted that he must have the courage to stop the game,” Muntari said. “The referee should not just stay on the field and blow the whistle, he must do everything. He should be aware of these things and set an example,” he added. Italy has struggled to stop racist chanting in its stadiums and there have been a number of incidents over the years. In one of the most serious in 2013, the AC Milan team abandoned the pitch during a friendly in the town of Busto Arsizio after home fans insulted midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng.

Under guidelines introduced following that incident, the referee is supposed to alert the fourth official who should in turn report the incident to the public security department responsible for policing at games. Pescara coach Zdenek Zeman said he sympathised with Muntari but said the player should not have walked off. “Muntari has abandoned the pitch because of racist chants but we should not take justice into our own hands,” he said. “We have been talking about racism for years now but nothing happens. Today, this has happened to Muntari who has been playing in Italy for several years now. We need a change of mentality.” (rtr)

Spurs beat Arsenal for 1st finish above neighbor in 22 years

LONDON — Tottenham shifted the balance of power in north London’s soccer rivalry by securing its first Premier League finish above Arsenal in 22 years with a 2-0 victory over its neighbor on Sunday. Arsenal imploded inside 77 seconds at the start of the second half to hand Tottenham a ninth consecutive league win. In the penultimate game at White Hart Lane before the stadium is demolished, Dele Alli scrambled the ball into the net and Harry Kane won a soft penalty that he converted. “We worked hard. We outworked them,” Kane said. “The fans have got the bragging rights for now, but we’ve still got four important games to finish off.” Manager Mauricio Pochettino’s hopes of overhauling Chelsea’s four-point lead at the top of the league are fading after the leaders beat Everton 3-0 on Sunday. But Spurs are still locking down second place for their highest finish in 54 years and on the brink of a second successive season in the Champions League for the first time. It’s grim times, though, for Arsene Wenger and Arsenal, which last finished below Tottenham in 1995 ahead of the manager’s arrival the following year. Back in December, Arsenal fans were still counting down to St. Totteringham’s Day, the day they coined to celebrate the point in the season Tottenham cannot catch them. But as Arsenal has collapsed, Tottenham has

surged. Arsenal’s seven-point advantage over Tottenham has been turned into a 17-point deficit as the team has slumped to sixth place. The one certainty under Wenger has been Champions League qualification, which has been achieved for 20 consecutive seasons. That continuity is now in jeopardy with five games remaining for Arsenal and maybe Wenger, whose contract expires at the end of the season. Arsenal is six points from the Champions League places with five games remaining, one more than fourth-place Manchester City. When Tottenham fans sang “Arsene Wenger, we want you to stay” there was no sympathy. It was just another opportunity to compound the troubled manager’s misery at a time when sections of Arsenal fans want Wenger to leave. Such instability and uncertainty is usually the preserve of Arsenal’s neighbors, with Pochettino the 11th manager Wenger has faced during his 21-year reign. “Spurs deserved to win, we have to accept that,” Wenger said. “Of course it is very disappointing, but the target at the beginning of the season is not to finish above Spurs, it is to win the league.” While Arsenal fans are vexed that they haven’t won the Premier League since 2004 — the third success under Wenger — Tottenham’s title drought goes back to 1961. North London derbies have been equally lopsided under Wenger, who entered his 50th game on Sunday with only seven losses. (ap)

SpaceX launches top-secret spy satellite for US government CAPE CANAVERAL — SpaceX has launched a top-secret spy satellite for the U.S. government.

The unmanned Falcon 9 rocket lifted off Monday morning from its NASA-leased pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It hoisted a classified satellite for the

National Reconnaissance Office. Several minutes into the flight, the first stage booster — its job done — aimed for a touchdown at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

SpaceX strives to return most of its first-stage boosters for reuse. This was the fourth SpaceX booster landing at Cape Canaveral; even more have landed on an

ocean platform. Sonic booms, as usual, rattled the area around the launch site. The company’s first recycled rocket flew last month. (ap)
