LOS ANGELES - The struggle to replicate human emotion in artificial intelligence is often explored in movies, but what happens when an artificial being is too emotional? “Morgan,” out in theaters on Friday, is set in a near future reality where a group of scientists from a corporate AI company breed a synthetic baby. Aged 5 but growing faster than a human child, Morgan, played by 20-year-old Anya Taylor-Joy, looks like female teenager and is a highly intelligent being with outbursts of deadly anger. When Morgan is told by her human minder that she is no longer allowed outdoors and instead must stay in a caged underground room where she is constantly observed, she stabs her in the eye. In comes the immaculately groomed corporate agent Lee Weathers (Kate Mara) to determine whether Morgan should be terminated. “I had to hold back on most emotions because my character is rather unemotional and very even-keeled and calculated, very focused,” Mara said in an interview. The film centers on its three lead female characters who include “Game of Thrones” actress Rose Leslie as Morgan’s closest friend, and Morgan’s struggle with gender identity. Half the scientists identify

DENPASAR - The invasion of foreign workers to Denpasar apparently has not been too significant. As evidence, the results of data collection in the Denpasar Labor Agency until August 2016 indicated there are approximately 170 people whereas in Denpasar there are quite a lot of educational institution, goods and services sectors as well as tourism sector employing foreign worker.

who created her. The film came out just as “Morgan” was about to start shooting, Scott said, and while he called Garland’s movie “quite niche,” he added that it made him rethink parts of “Morgan.” “There’s a lot of philosophy in there,” Scott said. “I thought that was terrific, but for me it was a good lesson in that initially I wanted to start moving in that direction. But watching “Ex Machina,” I thought: ‘Do you know what? I’m going to steer clear of this and perhaps be a little bit more entertaining and go for action.’” (rtr)

JAKARTA — Indonesia is screening travelers from neighboring Singapore for the mosquito-borne Zika virus as the city-state reports a growing number of infections and its first case of a pregnant woman testing positive. Indonesian Health Ministry spokesman Oscar Primadi said Thursday that health officials are recommending that the Foreign Ministry issue an advisory against nonessential travel to Singapore, particularly for pregnant women. Singapore on Wednesday said it had identified 22 new Zika cases in one particular area of the city and its first case involving a pregnant woman. Zika has mild effects for most people but doctors believe infection during pregnancy can result in babies with small heads, which is

known as microcephaly, and other serious developmental disorders. Singapore had 155 cases as of Wednesday. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is advising travelers to Singapore to take precautions such as protecting themselves against mosquito bites, and because the virus can also be sexually transmitted, to use condoms or not have sex. Primadi said thermal imaging equipment to detect abnormal body temperatures was installed at eight Indonesian ports with routes serv-

ing Singapore, including the capital Jakarta’s airport. He said travelers will also be given a health questionnaire so they will recognize symptoms and know to immediately report to health authorities. On Thursday, Malaysia’s Health Ministry said a 58-year-old woman who traveled to Singapore had become that country’s first Zika case.

COVER STORY

Foreign... From page 1

“Within a year, not more than 300 foreign workers are registered by the employing companies,” said the Head of the Denpasar Manpower Agency, IGA Anom Suradi, when met some time ago at Sewaka Dharma Building, Lumintang. Possibly there are some unregistered foreign workers. However, he said that it is the obligation of national unity and political agency (Kesbang-

pol) to do the monitoring. “We have received the number having been officially registered by the company. While the monitoring whether they have registered or not is the domain of Kesbangpol,” he said. As a result, the only registered workers have contributed to the city of Denpasar through the IMTA payment. Each foreign worker is subject to a levy of USD 100 per month. “Depending on the exchange rate, each foreign worker pays around IDR 15 million a year.

It goes into the regionally generated revenue,” he explained. The workers having been registered at the Manpower Agency continues to be monitored. It is meant to ensure that companies have applied the proper rules. “At least, their presence can be persistently monitored and the companies do their obligation to pay the levy. Moreover, the most important is that the company needs to prepare a companion of local workforce because foreign workers cannot

always occupy the same position. Suppose they become a GM, the company must prepare a companion. There is a deadline but I forget how long it lasts. It is only allowed for particular times,” he added. His agency can only urge so the companies employing foreign workers are willing to register formally to the Manpower Agency. “We do hope that all companies, schools or institutions employing foreigners in the city of Denpasar to officially register them and pay

the IMTA,” he said. In the meantime, a number of raids conducted by the joint team comprising the representatives of immigration office, police authority, military and related institutions coordinated by the national unity and political agency of Denpasar found quite a lot of expatriates working in Denpasar. Most of the foreign workers raided have owned a residence permit as seen at Sanur Kauh village. At least 500 foreign workers live at this village. (kmb12)

To manage Bali local fruits

Buleleng invites investors to build cool storage

BULELENG district has been famous as fruit producer in Bali. Various types of fruit ranging from durian, mangosteen, mango, grapes, bananas, tangerine and other local fruits are produced by farmers in North Bali. Unfortunately, farmers are still faced with the post-harvest problems that so far still cause losses to farmers. To overcome the problems, the local government under the leadership of Putu Agus Suradnyana (PAS) and Nyoman Sutjidra begins to direct their policies to boost the agriculture and plantation sector. Especially for post-harvest handling, local government begins to design the need for cool storage. To build this facility, the government hopes the participation of capital owners or investors. Several years ago, there were investors showing their interest in developing cool storage in Buleleng. However, it was not known why they cancelled the investment. In addition to cool storage development, the advisory services to farmers

will be optimized in improving crop productivity with the selection of superior seeds. Likewise, pest and disease control will be maximized through the agricultural extension officers (PPL). Not long ago, Regent Putu Agus Suradnyana said that post-harvest handling becomes important so that the Bali local fruit production in the region is salable. From his field observation, all this time farmers have not handled their post-harvest optimally. When the harvest comes, the price drops. In the meantime, if the production is limited, price tends to skyrocket, so that farmer takes a shortcut to harvest their immature

fruits. This treatment has poor impact on the quality of the fruits produced. “The post-harvest problem has not been resolved yet by farmers. When the production is abundant, the price turns low and farmers even left their products to perish because it is not salable. Conversely, when famine season occurs, the price of fruit is skyrocketing and the immature fruits are harvested early, so that the quality is down,” he said. In order that farmers can get out of this complicated problem, cool storage facility has become the most effective solution. Proper storage can maintain the freshness of fruits, so that the quality can be maintained, and farmers finally get a standard price. In addition, the excessive production season, cool storage can overcome because the excessive production can survive in a certain time. Thus, the demand will rebound and farmers will automatically be able to supply to

retailers or company. In this situation, the price will be stable. “If our fruit production is stored in a special place, I think the supply to the market can be controlled in any situation. Most importantly, the availability of fruit stock with good quality will keep prices stable,” he explained. Aside from post-harvest, focus of the handling taken by local government in the future is to maintain crop productivity and control pest and disease in an integrated manner. Crop productivity is boosted by the selection of superior seeds. It is carried out by doing research through agricultural demonstration plot. For pest and disease control, he will embrace a group of farmers to participate in the field school. So far, the field school method has been successfully applied to rice crops, while for fruit plants will begin to be encouraged. Improvement of human resources

quality of farmers is not only made by transferring insight, but this measure reduces the habit of farmers to lease their plantation land to capital owners. So far, the plantation leasehold is detrimental to farmers because other than getting cheap lease, the plants will be more easily damaged because the leaseholders force the plants to produce with the application of excessive pesticides. To support this program, the government will optimize the allocation of budget in the region while applying for assistance to provincial government and relevant ministries. “After the post-harvest is handled properly, the productivity of crops through selection of superior seed as well as pest and disease control will also be worked on. Thus, the whole effort will excite farming activity, mainly the plant of Bali local fruits in our region,” said the regent from Banyuatis village. (mud)

Sudikerta affirms to reject geothermal project

DENPASAR - Deputy Governor of Bali, I Ketut Sudikerta, denied if he still continues the geothermal project. His presence in the meeting with Commission VII of the House of Representatives in Jakarta on Tuesday (Aug. 30) was even meant to deliver the rejection to the sustainability of the project by the provincial government of Bali. The rejection has been stipulated in the Gubernatorial Decree. “I already read the whole chronologies yesterday before the leadership of the Commission VII. So, the provincial government of Bali has rejected the sustainability of the Bedugul geothermal development project,” he said when confirmed on Wednesday (Aug. 31). Sudikerta explained that the

issuance of the Gubernatorial Decree was based on the aspirations of the people making a protest to the governor a few years ago. They are starting from environmentalists, religious leaders and cultural figures declaring their rejection against the geothermal development. “Should there be any losses of the state in it, they become the responsibility of central government,” he added. In other words, added Sudikerta, the issue of penalties due to arising losses becomes the responsibility of central government. The Law No.23/2014 on Regional Government has asserted that the management of geothermal and gas energy becomes the authority of central government. Later in

the Law No.2008/2004 is stated that management of mining also becomes the authority of central government. “The provincial government only has the tasks to facilitate because the authority lies in central government. So, I state firmly that Sudikerta and the government of Bali reject the sustainability of the geothermal development,” he said. When interviewed separately, Regional Secretary of Bali Province, Cokorda Ngurah Pemayun, reiterated the attitude of the Bali provincial government that rejected the geothermal project. The official rejection has even been sent to central government by former Governor of Bali Dewa Made Beratha

and Governor Made Mangku Pastika. “Previously, it has been sent by the governor, both the previous and current governor. There has been official letter to close, so that it is dormant,” he said. In the meantime, Secretary of Commission III of the Bali House of Representatives, Ketut Kariyasa Adnyana, said that the Bali House of Representatives also remain consistent to stop first the geothermal issues. Currently, Bali has a surplus of electricity as well as there are so powerful aspirations from the public. Although the geothermal energy belongs to renewable energy, it will be clearing the protected forest or conservation area of Bedugul, Tabanan. “Obviously, it belongs to con-

servation area. There are concerns regarding the water resources in the three lakes, namely the Lake Buyan, Lake Tamblingan and Lake Beratan,” he said. Kariyasa also added that central government, especially the parliament, should no longer need to encourage the Bali provincial government to be firm because the decision of the executive and legislative in Bali has been very assertive. Rather than dealing with the geothermal clearly rejected by people, central government is better to soon realize the ten shortcut constructions in the Mengwitani-Singaraja road section. The shortcut project is considered more evident to be achieved for the sake of equitable development. (kmb32)

Fashion

The Reign of the Nothing Shoe Continues FALL is right around the corner, and if there’s one trend that’s sticking around as the season transitions, it’s Nothing Shoes. The barely-there footwear style features either thin nude straps or clear PVC trim. Kim Kardashian West was an early adopter of the trend— possibly because her husband designed a pair of sandals that fall into the trend—as was her BFF Chrissy Teigen, who favors the famous Nudist sandals. The idea of this style is to make the top of the foot as visible as possible, which elongates the leg. With its minimalist design, these pumps or sandals can easily go with everything from casual jeans to a sleek dress. In fact, they can be the finishing touch any outfit needs, regardless of how much leg you’re showing. Do your closet a solid and add a pair of these celeb-approved shoes to your fall wardrobe.

Lovina attraction boosts tourist visit to Buleleng

SINGARAJA - Potential of Lovina Beach at Kalibukbuk village has an appeal to travelers from different countries. The increase in visitors is boosted by tourism players through a variety of promotions in some regions of the country. One of them is the iconic dolphin attraction having drawn many visitors as alternative holiday destination in Buleleng. Tourism practitioner and chairman of the Indonesia Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) of Buleleng, Dewa Ketut Suardipa, said that Lovina destination is developed in line with the effort to boost tourist visit. Sometimes the situation of low tourist visit is influenced by the shortage of information as alternative holiday destination where Lovina can be an option. “The decrease in tourist visit is caused by some factors such as safety, economic crisis and other factors. We see the target market of Lovina, for example, has something to do with historical aspect as showed by many European guests,” said Suardipa, Wednesday (Aug. 31). Tourism condition at Lovina has not been growing rapidly like the destinations in southern Bali. The triggering factor is the less maximal improvement in infrastructure, traveling time and sanitation on Lovina beach. Additionally, the area of dolphin statue as the mascot is considered to require

a breakthrough and innovation through arrangement including the merchant stalls at the surroundings having supported the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Apparently Lovina is still focused on developing natural attraction. “The beauty of nature distinguishes Lovina in North Bali from South Bali. So, what is offered here is the concept of nature. Other than Lovina, the tourism of Buleleng also has Munduk, Pancasari to Batu Ampar,” he said. Dolphin is the iconic attraction owned by Lovina, where the population must be maintained and preserved together. It is not merely present as an object to pamper the desire of guests making a visit and then leave and return the next day. Thus, it occurs repeatedly without any alternative method to enjoy the dolphin natural attraction as a sustainable tourist visit. “Dolphins attraction at Lovina has been well known among foreign travelers. Moreover, almost 80 percent of guests during high season are coming from Europe and Asia,” he added. In the meantime, there has been harmonious relationship between fishermen and hotels at Kalibukbuk village. “Hotels and tourism fishermen have been working together. Local fishermen through its organization are involved in drawing tourist visits. Virtually all the hotels at Lovina make cooperation with fishermen,” he said. (kmb34)

The dry condition of Kubu, Karangasem make it difficult for the people there to earn living.

Over 14,000 residents of Karangasem still illiterate, Kubu subdistrict the highest

AMLAPURA - A total of 14,498 residents of Karangasem district remain to hold illiterate predicate, while Kubu subdistrict is the region with the highest illiterate population, namely reaching 5,046 people. This was announced by the Head of the Karangasem Education Agency, Gede Ariyasa, in his office, Wednesday (Aug. 31).

Ariyasa said that the data on illiterate and dropout population have been available along with his name and address. The data were obtained from an independent survey by involving hamlet chief throughout Karangasem until December 2015. The illiteracy age group surveyed belongs to 15-24 years amounting to 897 people (6.19 percent) of the total population. Then, illiteracy in the age group of 25-44 years amounted to 5,251 (36.22 percent), the age group of 45-59 years amounted to 8,350 (57.59 percent). “In order to streamline the illiteracy eradication program, we will also create a program based on the

age group,” he added. He recognized that in the Kubu subdistrict with barren geographic region and population largely scattered in the hill areas still accounts for the highest number of illiterates. It is followed by the second largest number namely the Karangasem subdistrict with 2,677 people, Abang subdistrict (2,449 people) and Selat subdistrict (1,417 people). “It is almost the same as the region of Kubu, the region of Karangasem and Abang equally barren and the population distribution in the barren hills. Road access to people’s house is also difficult as located in the hills and spread settlements,” he said.

He told that Manggis subdistrict has the smallest illiterates only reaching 380 people and then Rendang (921 people), Bebandem (808 people) and Sidemen (800 people). With the clear data regarding the name and address of the illiterate people, his agency will be more focused on targeting them in order to eradicate the illiteracy rate. This year, he added, there has been a program to target 500 participants at Seraya. “Many of them have been old enough and got married. When their time is used to attend the eradication program such as reading and writing, they will get fund,” he said. Surely, added this teacher of sustainable Bali from Karangasem, the illiteracy alleviation program is continued at the other villages or subdistricts. However, it will depend on the budget provided by the government and parliament. (013)

Demand continues

Rhodamine B and formaldehyde still on sale at Badung Market

DENPASAR - After intensifying supervision against traditional cakes ahead of Galungan at Badung Market, the Regional Agency for Food and Drug Administration (BBPOM) of Denpasar took 50 samples, Wednesday (Aug. 31). The samples included traditional cakes, chicken, pork, chips, fish, anchovy fish et cetera. Results of the fast test or introduction got seven positive samples containing Rhodamine B and five positive samples containing formaldehyde. Next, it will be resumed with the test in the BBPOM laboratory Denpasar. Formaldehyde was found in palm’s seed, tofu, anchovy fish, Medan anchovy and fermented fish. Then, Rhodamine B contained in one sample of abug snacks, one sample of dry bendu, one sample of red gipang, two samples of uli cake, two samples of begina cake. Chief of the BBPOM Denpasar, Endang Widowati, said that her agency takes all kinds of food estimated to be used for Galungan because presumably there are still traditional cakes containing hazardous ingredients. “Our supervision is based on priorities, so that we do not take them all,” she said. Hazardous ingredients commonly found are textile dyes in foods as well as borax and formaldehyde. “So, we hope that consumers are aware because as long as there is still demand, the producers will

continue to make,” he said. Indeed her agency targeted different means. However, if any food found to contain harmful ingredients at the same place, the agency will come down again to conduct sampling tests. After conducting surveillance at the Badung Market, it was resumed to Padangsambian Market and the markets outside the town. Furthermore, the foods containing such hazardous ingredients were seized. The next measure remains to accentuate coaching. However, her agency will explore the food source. Based on the results of interviews with some merchants, the food was taken from distributor. Therefore, it will search for the distributor considering that Government Regulation No.28 states that food safety is the responsibility of some relevant agencies and the results of food positively containing hazardous ingredients will be further informed to all relevant agencies such as the Industry and Trade Agency and Health Agency to be followed up.

Malaysia confirms first Zika case, victim had visited Singapore

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia reported its first case of Zika on Thursday, a woman who tested positive for the mosquitoborne virus after a visit to neighboring Singapore, where 115 people have so far been infected, many of them foreigners. The 58-year-old victim had shown signs of a rash and fever one week after her return from Singapore on August 21, said Malaysian Health Minister Subramaniam Sathasivam. “We are carrying out control measures against aedes mosquitoes near the woman’s home to prevent the spread of the virus,” he told a news conference. The Zika virus, which has spread through the Americas and the Caribbean since late last year, is generally a mild disease but is a particular risk to pregnant women. It has been linked to microcephaly - a severe birth defect in which babies are born with abnormally small heads and underdeveloped brains. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had said Singapore is the only Asian nation with an active Zika virus transmission. Officials in the city-state, one of the world’s largest financial centers and busiest travel hubs, reported the first locally transmitted infection on Saturday and said on Wednesday the number had jumped to 115. Singapore authorities detected infections in people living outside the initial outbreak area and have identified a potential second cluster.

A pregnant woman was among the victims, they said. “Over time, we expect Zika cases to emerge from more areas,” Singapore’s Minister for Health Gan Kim Yong said in a statement on Wednesday. “We must work and plan on the basis that there is Zika transmission in other parts of Singapore and extend our vector control efforts beyond the current affected areas.” Five Malaysians in Singapore had tested positive for Zika, including the latest victim’s adult daughter, who works in Singapore, the Malaysian minister said. Twenty-one Chinese nationals, 13 Indians, six Bangladeshis, and an Indonesian are also among the 115 cases of Zika reported in Singapore, foreign officials said. Many are believed to be overseas workers at building sites in Singapore, although the Singapore government has not given details of the victims by nationality. The United States, Australia, Taiwan, South Korea and Indonesia have warned pregnant women not to travel to Singapore. The outbreak and advisories come as the tourism industry in Singapore already faces weak

pass through Singapore’s Changi airport every year. In the first half of this year, tourism arrivals topped 8 million, around 1 million more than a year earlier. Malaysia has asked people visit-

ing Singapore to use repellent and cover up to avoid mosquito bites. Tens of thousands of people travel between the two nations each day, by boat, air and across two land border crossings. (rtr)

People watch as a paraglider flies past them as they sit atop Long Reef Point on the first day of Spring in Sydney, Australia September 1, 2016.

SYDNEY - A senior U.S. soldier said on Thursday Australia must choose between a stronger U.S. alliance or closer ties with China, and urged Canberra to take a tougher stance against Chinese claims in the South China Sea. “I think the Australians need to make a choice ... it’s very difficult to walk this fine line between balancing the alliance with the United States and the economic engagement with China,” U.S. Army Assistant Chief of Staff Colonel Tom Hanson said on Australian Broadcasting Corp. Radio. “There’s going to have to be a decision as to which one is more of a vital national interest for Australia,” he said. Hanson said the comments reflected his personal view and were not necessarily that of the U.S. government. The comments follow the publication of a parliamentary booklet warning Australian lawmakers to treat Chinese motives in the region with caution. Australia, a staunch U.S. ally, has previously drawn criticism from China for running surveillance flights over

disputed islands in the South China Sea, and supporting U.S. freedom of navigation exercises there. However, Australia has not conducted a unilateral freedom of navigation voyage of its own. “Clearly China believes that they have an opportunity and they feel empowered to flout that, and a demonstration by Australia would be welcome,” Hanson said. Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said in response to Hanson’s comments that the U.S. role in the IndoPacific region was as important now as it had ever been. “We are balancing relationships between our largest strategic ally and our largest trading partner with deft diplomacy, consistency and pragmatism,” Bishop said in a statement. China is Australia’s biggest trading partner and a large source of foreign investment, spending $11.1 billion on Australian assets, mostly property, in 2015, accounting and advisory firm KPMG and the University of Sydney have said.

nualised 229,000, well above estimates of fundamental demand. Approvals to build new homes surged over 11 percent in July, led by a 23 percent jump in apartments. Residential construction directly added 0.4 percentage points to gross domestic product growth in the year to March, and bolstered by spending to furnish new homes, helped the economy boast overall growth of 3.1 percent. All this supply has led to a sharp rise in vacancies. Investors in Australia typically buy for capital gains rather than rental returns understandable given Sydney home prices have climbed around 60 percent in the past four years. An added wrinkle is that investors who buy to let get a “negative gearing” tax break which allows them to offset rental losses against their other income, and there is also a capital gains tax discount on homes held for more than one year. The result has been a flood of rental properties and a drop in rental yields to record lows. This matters because rents are a major component of consumer price inflation (CPI). Rents make up around 7 pct of the CPI basket, more than either health or education. They also comprise an even larger 10 percent share of the core price measures the RBA focuses on. (rtr)

Australia’s inflation goes down as highrise apartments go up

SYDNEY - Australia has successfully used historically low borrowing costs to spark a boom in home building that has helped shepherd the economy through the dog days of a global mining downturn. Yet the rush of new homes has also compressed rental yields to record lows and put downward pressure on already tepid inflation - an alarming trend rate cuts were supposed to remedy. Rents were the single biggest factor behind the marked inflation slowdown this year that prompted a reluctant Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to further cut rates to a record low of 1.5 percent, juicing up the housing market even more. “It’s ironic. They cut rates to boost housing supply, but that’s turned into a material drag on inflation,” said George Tharenou, an economist at UBS. The drag on inflation is likely to be protracted, given UBS now believes the building boom will not peak until 2018, and seemingly argues for even more stimulus. “But there’s a limit here. Easing would only push inflation down further,” said Tharenou. “With all this housing activity adding to GDP growth, the economy just does not need more cuts.” Australia completed 190,000 new homes in 2015, 20 percent more than 10 years ago. Housing starts have since surged to an an-

Asian factories hobble as soft global demand hits sales

SINGAPORE- Asia’s factories showed few signs of returning to health in August, as torpid activity in the region’s biggest economies, China and Japan, suggested world demand remained fitful at best even as global policymakers scrambled to restore momentum. Coming a week after the United States posted sluggish second quarter growth, Asia’s uninspiring manufacturing surveys may give Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen pause for thought ahead of a Fed meeting on Sept. 20-21 to decide whether or not to raise interest rates. Moreover, the still-unknown impact of Britain’s shock decision in June to quit the European Union is seen chilling already soft consumption, leaving factories struggling to clear their goods. In China, the world’s secondbiggest economy, factory activity showed scant growth. The official Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) ticked up to 50.4 in August, compared with the previous month’s 49.9 and just above the 50point mark that separates growth from contraction. But the private Caixin version of the PMI, which covers a greater share of smaller firms, showed

activity stagnated last month with the index at 50.0, from an unexpectedly upbeat 50.6 in July. “Downward pressure on China’s economy remains and government support to stabilize growth must continue,” Zhengsheng Zhong, director of macroeconomic analysis at CEBM Group, said in a note accompanying the Caixin PMI report. Indeed, with central banks almost exhausting their monetary policy support, governments in Asia have increased fiscal stimulus although underlying demand in many of the region’s export-reliant economies remain weak. “A still subdued external demand environment and fading policy passthroughs is weighing on aggregate demand in the region,” said Chetan Ahya, senior economist at Morgan Stanley. “In the near-term, the growth trajectory will depend on the trend in

external demand, and monetary and fiscal policy response.” In Japan, while manufacturing activity showed signs of steadying, the IHS Markit/Nikkei PMI was still in contraction at 49.5 in August versus 49.3 in July. Export orders continued to fall, even as output increased for the first time in six months, backing expectations the Bank of Japan will need to offer more stimulus on top up its already massive easings to revive a sputtering economy. The pressure on Japanese policy makers was underscored by separate data showing Japanese business expenditure fell in April-June from the previous quarter. Conditions were even more gloomy in South Korea, a bellwether for global demand. An extended slide in exports put manufacturers in Asia’s fourth largest economy to the sword, with the August PMI contracting at its fastest pace in a year. Other data showing Korean exports rebounded last month was seen as an aberration due to two extra working days this year. (rtr)

Jokowi, Queen Maxima discuss financial inclusion

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands discussed the development of financial inclusion in Indonesia, among numerous issues, at a meeting here on Thursday. “As the queen can coordinate with both the United Nations, the World Bank, and also with prominent foundations, we discussed how to encourage the development of our financial inclusion to make it faster,” President Jokowi remarked in a press conference at the Merdeka Palace. According to the president, Queen Maxima has also reviewed some digital financial applications, such as e-kiosks and Mutual Cooperation Electronic (E-Warong), and an application for savings accounts for students. During the meeting, President Jokowi and the Dutch queen also discussed ways to improve banking access for micro, small, and

medium enterprises; farmers; and fishermen. “We also seek technical assistance from the UN through Queen Maxima,” the head of state noted. President Jokowi said they also discussed digital financial technology, which is supported by the youth of Indonesia. During her visit to the Fintech Festival & Conference at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE), Queen Maxima also selected two men to assist in the development of financial technology in Indonesia. “Yesterday, she met some good young kids who have developed applications or software related to financial technology,” Jokowi noted.

Queen Maxima paid a courtesy call on President Jokowi in her capacity as the UN Secretary-Generals Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development. During the three-day visit to Indonesia, Maxima has been reviewing the application of digital financial inclusion in Bogor, West Java, and attended the Fintech Festival & Conference at the ICE in Tangerang. Earlier, the queen also met Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno LP Marsudi at the Foreign Ministry building on Tuesday evening. During the meeting, Maxima lauded the development of inclusive financing in Indonesia. Queen Maximas visit commenced with a trip to SMP Negeri 1 to review the student savings program, or Simple program, managed by PT Bank Negara Indonesia Tbk. (ant)

JAKARTA - Foreign Affairs Minister Retno LP Marsudi attended a working meeting with Commission I of the House of Representatives to discuss the protection of Indonesian migrant workers, among other issues. Based on the agenda submitted by Chairman of Commission I Abdul Kharis Almasyhari here on Wednesday, the House expected to receive a report on the governments efforts to protect 177 Indonesian Hajj pilgrims being held by the immigration officials in the Philippines for using fake Philippine passports and nine Indonesians taken hostage by armed groups in the southern Philippines. The meeting was also scheduled to discuss the state of Indonesian students after the failed coup in Turkey in July. On Aug. 26, two Indonesian students detained by the Turkish security forces since Aug. 11 were finally released. The two female students were arrested for their suspected involvement in the Hizmet/FETO organization. The two Indonesian students identified as Dwi Puspita Ari Wijayanti and Yumelda Ulan Afrilian were released on Aug. 25 after it was revealed that they were not part of the Hizmet/FETO organization, Head of the Indonesian Citizen Protection Directorate General from the Foreign Ministry Lalu Muhammad Iqbal stated. The Turkish government had accused the organization for being the mastermind behind the failed military coup on July 15. Both Indonesian students were handed over by the Turkish prosecutor to a consulate official in the Indonesian Embassy in Ankara who had traveled to the city of Bursah where the two were held. The students are currently staying in the ambassadors residence in Ankara. In addition, the House was keen to hear the governments statement related to global issues, including the South China Sea dispute. (ant)

Brazil’s Rousseff ousted by Senate, Temer sworn in

BRASILIA - Brazil’s Senate ousted President Dilma Rousseff on Wednesday, ending an impeachment process that polarized Latin America’s biggest country amid a massive corruption scandal and brutal economic crisis. Senators voted 61-20 to convict the country’s first female president for illegally using money from state banks to bankroll public spending, marking the end of 13 years of leftist Workers Party rule. Rousseff’s opponents hailed her removal as paving the way for a change of fortunes for Brazil. Her conservative successor, Michel Temer, the former vice president who has run Brazil since her suspension in May, inherits a bitterly divided nation with voters in no mood for the austerity measures needed to heal public finances. In his first televised address to the nation after being sworn in as president through 2018, Temer called on Brazilians to unite behind him in working to rescue the economy from a fiscal crisis and over 11 percent unemployment. “This moment is one of hope and recovery of confidence in Brazil. Uncertainty has ended,” Temer said in the speech broadcast after his departure for a G20 summit in China. Until just a few years ago, Brazil was booming economically and its status was rising on the global stage. The country then slid into its deepest recession in decades, and a graft scandal at state oil company Petrobras tarnished Rousseff’s co-

alition. Millions took to the streets this year to demand her removal, less than two years after she was re-elected. A string of corruption scandals, led by the Petrobras scheme, has engulfed vast swaths of Brazil’s political class and business elites over the past 2-1/2 years. Temer will likely face tough opposition from the Workers Party both on the streets and in Congress to his agenda of privatizations, reforms to Brazil’s generous pension and welfare laws and a public spending ceiling he hopes lawmakers will pass this year. For the third straight day, proRousseff demonstrators in Sao Paulo, Brazil’s largest city, clashed with riot police, who used tear gas to clear the streets. Defiant to the end, Rousseff, a former leftist guerrilla who was tortured and jailed under military dictatorship in 1970, vowed to fight on in defense of Brazil’s workers. Standing outside the presidential residence flanked by supporters, she insisted on her innocence and said her removal was a “parliamentary coup” backed by the economic elite that would roll back social programs that lifted millions of Brazilians out of poverty over the last decade. “They think they have beaten us

International

but they are mistaken,” Rousseff said, adding that she would appeal the decision using every legal means. “At this time, I will not say goodbye to you. I am certain I can say ‘See you soon’.” The end of the Workers Party’s long grip on power sparked angry reactions from leftist governments across the region. Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador withdrew their ambassadors, and Brazil responded by recalling its envoys for consultations. Cuba’s Communist government branded Rousseff’s ouster part of an “imperialist” offensive against progressive governments in Latin America. The U.S. State Department voiced confidence that strong bilateral relations with Brazil would continue, adding the country’s democratic institutions had acted within the constitutional framework. In an unexpected move, Brazil’s Senate voted 42-36 to allow Rousseff to retain the right to hold public office - a break with Brazilian law that specifies a dismissed president should be barred from holding any government job for eight years. The move appeared to demonstrate unease among some senators, notably within Temer’s own fractious Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB), over whether a budgetary sleight of hand that is common in Brazil was truly an impeachable offense.

Trump returns to hardline position on illegal immigration

REUTERS/Carlo Allegri

PHOENIX - U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump vowed on Wednesday that anyone who is in the United States illegally would be subject to deportation if he is elected, sticking with his hardline position after flirting with a softer approach. In a major speech in the border state of Arizona, Trump took a dim view of the 11 million people who crossed into the United States illegally, a week after saying many were “great people” who had lived in the country for years and contributed to American society. He said all people in the United States illegally would have “only one route” to gain legal status if Trump were to win the Nov. 8 presidential election: “To return home and apply for re-entry.” “Our message to the world will be this: You cannot obtain legal status or become a citizen of the United States by illegally entering our country,” Trump said. “People will know you can’t just smuggle in, hunker down and wait to be legalized,” he said. “Those days are over.” Trump again vowed that Mexico would pay for construction of a “great border wall” between the two countries. He spoke hours after Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto told Trump in a face-to-face meeting in Mexico City that Mexico would not pay for it.

“We will build a great wall along the southern border,” Trump said. “And Mexico will pay for the wall - 100 percent. They don’t know it yet, but they’re going to pay for the wall.” Trump said at a joint news conference with Pena Nieto that he and the Mexican leader did not discuss who would pay for the wall. Pena Nieto remained silent on the issue at the event, but said later on Twitter he did raise the issue. “At the beginning of the conversation with Donald Trump I made it clear that Mexico will not pay for the wall,” Pena Nieto said in a tweet. Trump used the Phoenix speech to clarify his stance on illegal immigration after prevaricating on the issue last week. He returned to the hardline rhetoric that powered him to the Republican presidential nomination over 16 rivals, heartening those conservatives drawn to Trump by the issue. Ann Coulter, a conservative activist who had fretted that Trump might be softening, tweeted: “I hear Churchill had a nice turn of phrase, but Trump’s immigration speech is the most magnificent speech ever given.” Correct The Record, an organisation supporting Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the Nov.8 presidential election, slammed Trump. “Tonight confirmed what we knew all along - there is no ‘softening’,” Correct The Record spokeswoman Elizabeth Shappell said.

The ministry has started control activities such as eliminating mosquito breeding sites and fog spraying in her residential area and other places that the patient had visited. Indonesia has not yet reported any local Zika infections but an Indonesian woman in Singapore is among those infected there. (ap)

On Wednesday, the fourth-seeded Spaniard achieved the double as he hit the first ball in competition under the $150 million roof after rain briefly interrupted his secondround match against Italian Andreas Seppi. The crowd looked skyward at the spectacle of the high-tech closure and roared in approval when the two sides met above the court in five minutes, 35 seconds. Play resumed seven minutes, 22 seconds after the stoppage with Nadal serving at 3-3 in the second set before he completed a 6-0 7-5 6-1 victory over Seppi that lifted

him to a third-round match against Russian Andrey Kuznetsov. The Spaniard was aglow after his victory and being part of the first match played under the Ashe Stadium roof. “I was very happy to be the first player to play in the competition with this fantastic roof closing,” he said. “Amazing, unbelievable.” Nadal’s mood was in stark contrast to women’s French Open champion Garbine Muguruza who had preceded her compatriot onto the Arthur Ashe Stadium court and was upset by 48th-ranked Anasta-

sija Sevastova of Latvia 7-5 6-4 in the second round. Muguruza and Sevastova played with the roof open, but both complained about the noise from the boisterous fans, which appeared to be exacerbated by the roof support structure trapping the sound. Umpires continually appealed to the crowd to be quiet, but that did little to lower the noise. “This is New York,” U.S. Tennis Association executive director Gordon Smith said. “Yes, there is crowd noise and yes, we want the crowds to come, to be excited. “We want them to cheer. We think that over time the fans will adjust and the players will adjust. “This is a learning year for us ... we’ll look at doing things in the future to deal with that.” (rtr)

MELBOURNE - Australia’s top sports funding authority has defended its record in the wake of the nation’s worst Olympic haul in 24 years and called for more money to bridge the gap at elite international events. The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) and its funding programme ‘Winning Edge’ have been under fire since Rio, where the country’s total of eight golds and 29 medals was well below expectations. ‘Winning Edge’, introduced after the London Games in the wake of a similarly disappointing haul, has long proven contentious in Australia for giving more funding to sports deemed to have better medal prospects at the expense of lower-profile disciplines. But the more targeted approach fell flat in Rio, where Australia’s traditionally strong swimming, cycling and rowing teams managed only four titles between them. Australian Olympic Committee president John Coates publicly questioned ‘Winning Edge’ two days before the closing ceremony and said the model needed to be reviewed. But ASC chairman John Wylie said the authority’s board had “committed unanimously” to its key principles at a meeting this week. “There is no doubt we can learn and improve from the experience of the past four years and from the Rio Olympics, but the core principles of the strategy remain sound, valid and in the long-term interests of the Australian sport sector,” Wylie said in a statement. “Australia’s Winning Edge is built on evidence-based funding decisions, high aspirations for achievement, sports taking responsibility for their own high performance programs and improved leadership and governance in sports organisations. “It needs to be understood that these changes strengthen sports but don’t produce results overnight. “While Australia’s medal results in Rio were less than predicted by independent forecasting services, there were positive signs for the future.” Australia has looked covetously at Britain’s Olympic performances, their sporting arch-rivals outshining them with top-five finishes on the medals table at the last three Games. Supported by a national lottery fund, Britain finished second at Rio with a bumper haul of 27 golds and 67 medals. Australian taxpayers pumped about A$340 million ($256 million) into Olympic sports over the four years leading up to Rio but Wylie said it was clear the country was being ‘out-spent’. “The ASC is not citing funding as the reason for not meeting aspirations in Rio,” he added. “Many factors contributed to the results, and these will be analysed intensively ... in the coming weeks with a view to future improvement. “In the medium term, however, the Australian high performance sporting system will need new and deeper sources of funding if we are to remain competitive in the highest levels of international sport.

Sp rt Luiz in shock return to Chelsea as Man City clears out squad LONDON - Chelsea produced the biggest surprise of the summer transfer window by re-signing David Luiz from Paris Saint-Germain on deadline-day as Manchester City streamlined its bloated squad by sending a quartet out on loan. Arsenal and Liverpool also offloaded unwanted players on Wednesday.

Jack Wilshere is heading on a season-long loan from Arsenal to Bournemouth, which wasn’t in the Premier League when the injury-plagued midfielder last completed 90 minutes of club football in September 2014. Liverpool got troubled striker Mario Balotelli off its books, with the Italian joining French club Nice. It was a busy final day of player trading for Premier League clubs, who have collectively spent more than 1 billion pounds ($1.3 billion) for the first time in a transfer window — nearly 1.2 billion pounds ($1.5 billion) total by the close of play — as they reinvest their new bumper television windfalls. Of the 20 top-flight clubs, 13 broke their transfer records. CHELSEA

FILE - In this Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2015 file photo, PSG’s David Luiz waves to his team’s supporters after the Champions League group A soccer match between Real Madrid and PSG at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid.

Manager Antonio Conte has been looking to bolster his defense to steer Chelsea back into the Champions League. And a club renowned for bringing back former managers and players went back to the future again by pursuing an unexpected deal to return Brazil central defender Luiz to Stamford Bridge on a three-year contract. British media reports put the transfer fee at around 32 million pounds ($42 million), about 20 million pounds less than Chelsea sold Luiz for in the 2014 summer transfer window. “We had a fantastic story during

my first time at the club and I want to help the team and Antonio Conte achieve a lot of success,” said Luiz, a Champions League winner in 2012 at Chelsea. “I always had a wonderful relationship with the fans and I am looking forward to wearing the blue shirt at Stamford Bridge once again.” Spanish left back Marcos Alonso also joined Chelsea for a reported 23 million pounds ($30.2 million) to provide competition at left back for Cesar Azpilicueta. Alonso, who previously had spells in England at Bolton and Sunderland, would also be a good option as a left wing back if Conte decides to use a three-man defense. MANCHESTER CITY

After an offseason of heavy spending under new coach Pep Guardiola, City sent Joe Hart, Wilfried Bony, Samir Nasri, Eliaquim Mangala and Jason Denayer out on loan for the rest of the season. Guardiola has overseen the spending of more than $200 million on new players since taking over as City coach this offseason, and left it late to trim his 30-man squad. It meant getting rid of City’s starting goalkeeper for the past six years, as well as three other players who cost the team a combined 95 million pounds ($125 million). Heading the clear-out was Hart, the England goalkeeper who was loaned to Italian club Torino

after dropping to third choice at City behind new signing Claudio Bravo and Willy Caballero. Hart was out of favor at the Premier League leaders because his footwork and passing wasn’t up to the level demanded by Guardiola, who likes goalkeepers to help start attacks and be involved in play. Bony, who hasn’t played a minute for City under Guardiola, joined Stoke after seeing his career stall since joining from Swansea for 28 million pounds ($37 million) in January 2015. A combination of international call-ups, injuries, illness, poor form and the presence of Sergio Aguero prevented the Ivory Coast striker from establishing himself at City. Nasri was the third player to leave on loan, with the Frenchman heading to Spanish club Sevilla for the season. Guardiola said Nasri returned for preseason training “overweight.” France center back Mangala also departed to Valencia and Belgium defender Jason Denayer switched to Sunderland for the season. LEICESTER

The champions broke their transfer record to sign striker Islam Slimani from Sporting Lisbon. The Portuguese club said the move to Leicester was worth 30 million euros ($33.5 million), potentially rising by another 5 million euros ($5.5 million). The 28-year-old Slimani is linking up with fellow Algerian Riyad Mahrez, who helped Leicester produce one of the biggest sporting surprises last season by

winning the Premier League. TOTTENHAM

The north London club added three new names before the transfer window closed Wednesday night. Midfielder Moussa Sissoko joined from Newcastle for a reported 30 million pounds ($39 million) and fellow Frenchman, winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou, completed his move from Marseille. Goalkeeper Pau Lopez arrived on loan from Espanyol. RECORDS

Gabon midfielder Didier Ndong joined Sunderland from French side Lorient for 16 million euros ($18 million), the seventh signing by recently hired manager David Moyes and the biggest up-front fee paid by the club for a player. Burnley said it broke its transfer record for the second time this month in signing Ireland midfielder Jeff Hendrick from second-tier Derby but the fee wasn’t disclosed. OTHER DEALS

Of the free agents, former Real Madrid and Liverpool defender Alvaro Arbeloa secured a deal at West Ham and ex-Reading forward Hal Robson-Kanu joined West Bromwich Albion after impressing with Wales at the European Championship. Hull brought in midfielder James Weir from Manchester United and striker Dieumerci Mbokani on loan from Dynamo Kiev. Middlesbrough signed Adama Traore from Aston Villa, while fellow winger Albert Adomah went in the opposite direction to the secondtier club. (ap)

FIFA still pondering Kosovo plea for players to switch

ZURICH - FIFA is still considering a request from new members Kosovo to allow a number of players to switch national teams and represent them, world soccer’s ruling body said on Thursday. Kosovo, who play their first competitive international on Monday when they visit Finland in a World Cup qualifier, were accepted as members of FIFA and European football’s governing body UEFA in May despite fierce opposition from Serbia.

FIFA told Reuters in a statement that it had received a “series of requests for change of associations from the Football Federation of Kosovo. “The various applications are currently pending and being investigated. As a result we are not in a position to further comment on them, nor to give an estimation of the time line.” Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia in 2008, said on Wednesday they had made requests for nine players to switch

national teams, without identifying them. Switzerland and Albania both have players with Kosovar roots. FIFA does not ordinarily allow players to switch national teams once they have represented one country in a competitive international. However, the statement said it was not clear whether these rules were applicable if players wanted to change to a team that had not previously been a FIFA member. “The specific circumstances of

the matter at hand concerning the admission of a new member to FIFA and players potentially eligible to play for it appear not to be conclusively governed (by the statutes),” added soccer’s ruling body. It said FIFA’s players’ status committee were considering the requests “while taking into consideration all relevant and specific facts and circumstances of the matter”. Finland’s Kosovo-born midfielder Perparim Hetemaj has said he will not play in Monday’s match. (rtr)

Mourinho laments timing of international break for derby Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho said the international break has made his plans for the Manchester derby a bit more “complicated” than he would have liked, especially with his South American players returning a day before the clash. With a bulk of the United squad away on international duty and striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic being given an extended break, Mourinho has been left with almost none of first team players to work with since Saturday’s last-gasp win over Hull City. The former Chelsea and Real Madrid manager will also have first-choice right back Antonio Valencia and squad players, goalkeeper Sergio Romero and defender Marcos Rojo, arrive at the club’s training ground, 24 hours before the Sept. 10 fixture. “We keep eight outfield players and Sam Johnstone as the goalkeeper. We are going to lose the others and we don’t know the way they train, the way they recover, the life they are going to have with their national teams,” Mourinho told MUTV. “Some are coming back on the Monday before the Manchester City match but some are coming back on Friday. The day before Man City, we will still have Sergio Romero, Marcos Rojo and Valencia arriving. “It will be a complicated process but we know it is like this when we have these players. And I would love all of the players to go because it would mean that everybody is being selected for their national teams.” There was little love lost between Mourinho and Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola when the Portuguese was in charge at Madrid and the Spaniard led Barcelona. They will renew hostilities after the international break at Old Trafford with both sides protecting 100 percent records after three Premier League matches. (rtr)

Swiss prosecutors step up 2006 World Cup probe in FIFA case

BERN — Swiss federal prosecutors say they are conducting an “ongoing operation” in an investigation of the 2006 World Cup organizing committee as part of a wider probe of corruption linked to FIFA. The office of Swiss attorney general Michael Lauber tells The Associated Press that details of the operation should be confirmed later Thursday. German organizers of the 2006 World Cup, led by Franz Becken-

bauer, have been under investigation by Swiss prosecutors and the FIFA ethics committee over alleged bribery and irregular payments of several million dollars linked to FIFA. Beckenbauer headed his country’s bid to win the hosting rights in 2000 in a tight vote ahead of a South Africa bid backed by Nelson Mandela. He then chaired the organizing committee.

Sp rt Luiz in shock return to Chelsea as Man City clears out squad LONDON - Chelsea produced the biggest surprise of the summer transfer window by re-signing David Luiz from Paris Saint-Germain on deadline-day as Manchester City streamlined its bloated squad by sending a quartet out on loan. Arsenal and Liverpool also offloaded unwanted players on Wednesday.

Jack Wilshere is heading on a season-long loan from Arsenal to Bournemouth, which wasn’t in the Premier League when the injury-plagued midfielder last completed 90 minutes of club football in September 2014. Liverpool got troubled striker Mario Balotelli off its books, with the Italian joining French club Nice. It was a busy final day of player trading for Premier League clubs, who have collectively spent more than 1 billion pounds ($1.3 billion) for the first time in a transfer window — nearly 1.2 billion pounds ($1.5 billion) total by the close of play — as they reinvest their new bumper television windfalls. Of the 20 top-flight clubs, 13 broke their transfer records. CHELSEA

FILE - In this Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2015 file photo, PSG’s David Luiz waves to his team’s supporters after the Champions League group A soccer match between Real Madrid and PSG at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid.

Manager Antonio Conte has been looking to bolster his defense to steer Chelsea back into the Champions League. And a club renowned for bringing back former managers and players went back to the future again by pursuing an unexpected deal to return Brazil central defender Luiz to Stamford Bridge on a three-year contract. British media reports put the transfer fee at around 32 million pounds ($42 million), about 20 million pounds less than Chelsea sold Luiz for in the 2014 summer transfer window. “We had a fantastic story during

my first time at the club and I want to help the team and Antonio Conte achieve a lot of success,” said Luiz, a Champions League winner in 2012 at Chelsea. “I always had a wonderful relationship with the fans and I am looking forward to wearing the blue shirt at Stamford Bridge once again.” Spanish left back Marcos Alonso also joined Chelsea for a reported 23 million pounds ($30.2 million) to provide competition at left back for Cesar Azpilicueta. Alonso, who previously had spells in England at Bolton and Sunderland, would also be a good option as a left wing back if Conte decides to use a three-man defense. MANCHESTER CITY

After an offseason of heavy spending under new coach Pep Guardiola, City sent Joe Hart, Wilfried Bony, Samir Nasri, Eliaquim Mangala and Jason Denayer out on loan for the rest of the season. Guardiola has overseen the spending of more than $200 million on new players since taking over as City coach this offseason, and left it late to trim his 30-man squad. It meant getting rid of City’s starting goalkeeper for the past six years, as well as three other players who cost the team a combined 95 million pounds ($125 million). Heading the clear-out was Hart, the England goalkeeper who was loaned to Italian club Torino

after dropping to third choice at City behind new signing Claudio Bravo and Willy Caballero. Hart was out of favor at the Premier League leaders because his footwork and passing wasn’t up to the level demanded by Guardiola, who likes goalkeepers to help start attacks and be involved in play. Bony, who hasn’t played a minute for City under Guardiola, joined Stoke after seeing his career stall since joining from Swansea for 28 million pounds ($37 million) in January 2015. A combination of international call-ups, injuries, illness, poor form and the presence of Sergio Aguero prevented the Ivory Coast striker from establishing himself at City. Nasri was the third player to leave on loan, with the Frenchman heading to Spanish club Sevilla for the season. Guardiola said Nasri returned for preseason training “overweight.” France center back Mangala also departed to Valencia and Belgium defender Jason Denayer switched to Sunderland for the season. LEICESTER

The champions broke their transfer record to sign striker Islam Slimani from Sporting Lisbon. The Portuguese club said the move to Leicester was worth 30 million euros ($33.5 million), potentially rising by another 5 million euros ($5.5 million). The 28-year-old Slimani is linking up with fellow Algerian Riyad Mahrez, who helped Leicester produce one of the biggest sporting surprises last season by

winning the Premier League. TOTTENHAM

The north London club added three new names before the transfer window closed Wednesday night. Midfielder Moussa Sissoko joined from Newcastle for a reported 30 million pounds ($39 million) and fellow Frenchman, winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou, completed his move from Marseille. Goalkeeper Pau Lopez arrived on loan from Espanyol. RECORDS

Gabon midfielder Didier Ndong joined Sunderland from French side Lorient for 16 million euros ($18 million), the seventh signing by recently hired manager David Moyes and the biggest up-front fee paid by the club for a player. Burnley said it broke its transfer record for the second time this month in signing Ireland midfielder Jeff Hendrick from second-tier Derby but the fee wasn’t disclosed. OTHER DEALS

Of the free agents, former Real Madrid and Liverpool defender Alvaro Arbeloa secured a deal at West Ham and ex-Reading forward Hal Robson-Kanu joined West Bromwich Albion after impressing with Wales at the European Championship. Hull brought in midfielder James Weir from Manchester United and striker Dieumerci Mbokani on loan from Dynamo Kiev. Middlesbrough signed Adama Traore from Aston Villa, while fellow winger Albert Adomah went in the opposite direction to the secondtier club. (ap)

On Wednesday, the fourth-seeded Spaniard achieved the double as he hit the first ball in competition under the $150 million roof after rain briefly interrupted his secondround match against Italian Andreas Seppi. The crowd looked skyward at the spectacle of the high-tech closure and roared in approval when the two sides met above the court in five minutes, 35 seconds. Play resumed seven minutes, 22 seconds after the stoppage with Nadal serving at 3-3 in the second set before he completed a 6-0 7-5 6-1 victory over Seppi that lifted

him to a third-round match against Russian Andrey Kuznetsov. The Spaniard was aglow after his victory and being part of the first match played under the Ashe Stadium roof. “I was very happy to be the first player to play in the competition with this fantastic roof closing,” he said. “Amazing, unbelievable.” Nadal’s mood was in stark contrast to women’s French Open champion Garbine Muguruza who had preceded her compatriot onto the Arthur Ashe Stadium court and was upset by 48th-ranked Anasta-

sija Sevastova of Latvia 7-5 6-4 in the second round. Muguruza and Sevastova played with the roof open, but both complained about the noise from the boisterous fans, which appeared to be exacerbated by the roof support structure trapping the sound. Umpires continually appealed to the crowd to be quiet, but that did little to lower the noise. “This is New York,” U.S. Tennis Association executive director Gordon Smith said. “Yes, there is crowd noise and yes, we want the crowds to come, to be excited. “We want them to cheer. We think that over time the fans will adjust and the players will adjust. “This is a learning year for us ... we’ll look at doing things in the future to deal with that.” (rtr)

MELBOURNE - Australia’s top sports funding authority has defended its record in the wake of the nation’s worst Olympic haul in 24 years and called for more money to bridge the gap at elite international events. The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) and its funding programme ‘Winning Edge’ have been under fire since Rio, where the country’s total of eight golds and 29 medals was well below expectations. ‘Winning Edge’, introduced after the London Games in the wake of a similarly disappointing haul, has long proven contentious in Australia for giving more funding to sports deemed to have better medal prospects at the expense of lower-profile disciplines. But the more targeted approach fell flat in Rio, where Australia’s traditionally strong swimming, cycling and rowing teams managed only four titles between them. Australian Olympic Committee president John Coates publicly questioned ‘Winning Edge’ two days before the closing ceremony and said the model needed to be reviewed. But ASC chairman John Wylie said the authority’s board had “committed unanimously” to its key principles at a meeting this week. “There is no doubt we can learn and improve from the experience of the past four years and from the Rio Olympics, but the core principles of the strategy remain sound, valid and in the long-term interests of the Australian sport sector,” Wylie said in a statement. “Australia’s Winning Edge is built on evidence-based funding decisions, high aspirations for achievement, sports taking responsibility for their own high performance programs and improved leadership and governance in sports organisations. “It needs to be understood that these changes strengthen sports but don’t produce results overnight. “While Australia’s medal results in Rio were less than predicted by independent forecasting services, there were positive signs for the future.” Australia has looked covetously at Britain’s Olympic performances, their sporting arch-rivals outshining them with top-five finishes on the medals table at the last three Games. Supported by a national lottery fund, Britain finished second at Rio with a bumper haul of 27 golds and 67 medals. Australian taxpayers pumped about A$340 million ($256 million) into Olympic sports over the four years leading up to Rio but Wylie said it was clear the country was being ‘out-spent’. “The ASC is not citing funding as the reason for not meeting aspirations in Rio,” he added. “Many factors contributed to the results, and these will be analysed intensively ... in the coming weeks with a view to future improvement. “In the medium term, however, the Australian high performance sporting system will need new and deeper sources of funding if we are to remain competitive in the highest levels of international sport.

Brazil’s Rousseff ousted by Senate, Temer sworn in

BRASILIA - Brazil’s Senate ousted President Dilma Rousseff on Wednesday, ending an impeachment process that polarized Latin America’s biggest country amid a massive corruption scandal and brutal economic crisis. Senators voted 61-20 to convict the country’s first female president for illegally using money from state banks to bankroll public spending, marking the end of 13 years of leftist Workers Party rule. Rousseff’s opponents hailed her removal as paving the way for a change of fortunes for Brazil. Her conservative successor, Michel Temer, the former vice president who has run Brazil since her suspension in May, inherits a bitterly divided nation with voters in no mood for the austerity measures needed to heal public finances. In his first televised address to the nation after being sworn in as president through 2018, Temer called on Brazilians to unite behind him in working to rescue the economy from a fiscal crisis and over 11 percent unemployment. “This moment is one of hope and recovery of confidence in Brazil. Uncertainty has ended,” Temer said in the speech broadcast after his departure for a G20 summit in China. Until just a few years ago, Brazil was booming economically and its status was rising on the global stage. The country then slid into its deepest recession in decades, and a graft scandal at state oil company Petrobras tarnished Rousseff’s co-

alition. Millions took to the streets this year to demand her removal, less than two years after she was re-elected. A string of corruption scandals, led by the Petrobras scheme, has engulfed vast swaths of Brazil’s political class and business elites over the past 2-1/2 years. Temer will likely face tough opposition from the Workers Party both on the streets and in Congress to his agenda of privatizations, reforms to Brazil’s generous pension and welfare laws and a public spending ceiling he hopes lawmakers will pass this year. For the third straight day, proRousseff demonstrators in Sao Paulo, Brazil’s largest city, clashed with riot police, who used tear gas to clear the streets. Defiant to the end, Rousseff, a former leftist guerrilla who was tortured and jailed under military dictatorship in 1970, vowed to fight on in defense of Brazil’s workers. Standing outside the presidential residence flanked by supporters, she insisted on her innocence and said her removal was a “parliamentary coup” backed by the economic elite that would roll back social programs that lifted millions of Brazilians out of poverty over the last decade. “They think they have beaten us

International

but they are mistaken,” Rousseff said, adding that she would appeal the decision using every legal means. “At this time, I will not say goodbye to you. I am certain I can say ‘See you soon’.” The end of the Workers Party’s long grip on power sparked angry reactions from leftist governments across the region. Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador withdrew their ambassadors, and Brazil responded by recalling its envoys for consultations. Cuba’s Communist government branded Rousseff’s ouster part of an “imperialist” offensive against progressive governments in Latin America. The U.S. State Department voiced confidence that strong bilateral relations with Brazil would continue, adding the country’s democratic institutions had acted within the constitutional framework. In an unexpected move, Brazil’s Senate voted 42-36 to allow Rousseff to retain the right to hold public office - a break with Brazilian law that specifies a dismissed president should be barred from holding any government job for eight years. The move appeared to demonstrate unease among some senators, notably within Temer’s own fractious Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB), over whether a budgetary sleight of hand that is common in Brazil was truly an impeachable offense.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally in Phoenix, Arizona, U.S., August 31, 2016.

Trump returns to hardline position on illegal immigration

REUTERS/Carlo Allegri

PHOENIX - U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump vowed on Wednesday that anyone who is in the United States illegally would be subject to deportation if he is elected, sticking with his hardline position after flirting with a softer approach. In a major speech in the border state of Arizona, Trump took a dim view of the 11 million people who crossed into the United States illegally, a week after saying many were “great people” who had lived in the country for years and contributed to American society. He said all people in the United States illegally would have “only one route” to gain legal status if Trump were to win the Nov. 8 presidential election: “To return home and apply for re-entry.” “Our message to the world will be this: You cannot obtain legal status or become a citizen of the United States by illegally entering our country,” Trump said. “People will know you can’t just smuggle in, hunker down and wait to be legalized,” he said. “Those days are over.” Trump again vowed that Mexico would pay for construction of a “great border wall” between the two countries. He spoke hours after Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto told Trump in a face-to-face meeting in Mexico City that Mexico would not pay for it.

“We will build a great wall along the southern border,” Trump said. “And Mexico will pay for the wall - 100 percent. They don’t know it yet, but they’re going to pay for the wall.” Trump said at a joint news conference with Pena Nieto that he and the Mexican leader did not discuss who would pay for the wall. Pena Nieto remained silent on the issue at the event, but said later on Twitter he did raise the issue. “At the beginning of the conversation with Donald Trump I made it clear that Mexico will not pay for the wall,” Pena Nieto said in a tweet. Trump used the Phoenix speech to clarify his stance on illegal immigration after prevaricating on the issue last week. He returned to the hardline rhetoric that powered him to the Republican presidential nomination over 16 rivals, heartening those conservatives drawn to Trump by the issue. Ann Coulter, a conservative activist who had fretted that Trump might be softening, tweeted: “I hear Churchill had a nice turn of phrase, but Trump’s immigration speech is the most magnificent speech ever given.” Correct The Record, an organisation supporting Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the Nov.8 presidential election, slammed Trump. “Tonight confirmed what we knew all along - there is no ‘softening’,” Correct The Record spokeswoman Elizabeth Shappell said.

Residential construction directly added 0.4 percentage points to gross domestic product growth in the year to March, and bolstered by spending to furnish new homes, helped the economy boast overall growth of 3.1 percent. All this supply has led to a sharp rise in vacancies. Investors in Australia typically buy for capital gains rather than rental returns understandable given Sydney home prices have climbed around 60 percent in the past four years. An added wrinkle is that investors who buy to let get a “negative gearing” tax break which allows them to offset rental losses against their other income, and there is also a capital gains tax discount on homes held for more than one year. The result has been a flood of rental properties and a drop in rental yields to record lows. This matters because rents are a major component of consumer price inflation (CPI). Rents make up around 7 pct of the CPI basket, more than either health or education. They also comprise an even larger 10 percent share of the core price measures the RBA focuses on. (rtr)

Australia’s inflation goes down as highrise apartments go up

SYDNEY - Australia has successfully used historically low borrowing costs to spark a boom in home building that has helped shepherd the economy through the dog days of a global mining downturn. Yet the rush of new homes has also compressed rental yields to record lows and put downward pressure on already tepid inflation - an alarming trend rate cuts were supposed to remedy. Rents were the single biggest factor behind the marked inflation slowdown this year that prompted a reluctant Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to further cut rates to a record low of 1.5 percent, juicing up the housing market even more. “It’s ironic. They cut rates to boost housing supply, but that’s turned into a material drag on inflation,” said George Tharenou, an economist at UBS. The drag on inflation is likely to be protracted, given UBS now believes the building boom will not peak until 2018, and seemingly argues for even more stimulus. “But there’s a limit here. Easing would only push inflation down further,” said Tharenou. “With all this housing activity adding to GDP growth, the economy just does not need more cuts.” Australia completed 190,000 new homes in 2015, 20 percent more than 10 years ago. Housing starts have since surged to an an-

Asian factories hobble as soft global demand hits sales

SINGAPORE- Asia’s factories showed few signs of returning to health in August, as torpid activity in the region’s biggest economies, China and Japan, suggested world demand remained fitful at best even as global policymakers scrambled to restore momentum. Coming a week after the United States posted sluggish second quarter growth, Asia’s uninspiring manufacturing surveys may give Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen pause for thought ahead of a Fed meeting on Sept. 20-21 to decide whether or not to raise interest rates. Moreover, the still-unknown impact of Britain’s shock decision in June to quit the European Union is seen chilling already soft consumption, leaving factories struggling to clear their goods. In China, the world’s secondbiggest economy, factory activity showed scant growth. The official Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) ticked up to 50.4 in August, compared with the previous month’s 49.9 and just above the 50point mark that separates growth from contraction. But the private Caixin version of the PMI, which covers a greater share of smaller firms, showed

activity stagnated last month with the index at 50.0, from an unexpectedly upbeat 50.6 in July. “Downward pressure on China’s economy remains and government support to stabilize growth must continue,” Zhengsheng Zhong, director of macroeconomic analysis at CEBM Group, said in a note accompanying the Caixin PMI report. Indeed, with central banks almost exhausting their monetary policy support, governments in Asia have increased fiscal stimulus although underlying demand in many of the region’s export-reliant economies remain weak. “A still subdued external demand environment and fading policy passthroughs is weighing on aggregate demand in the region,” said Chetan Ahya, senior economist at Morgan Stanley. “In the near-term, the growth trajectory will depend on the trend in

external demand, and monetary and fiscal policy response.” In Japan, while manufacturing activity showed signs of steadying, the IHS Markit/Nikkei PMI was still in contraction at 49.5 in August versus 49.3 in July. Export orders continued to fall, even as output increased for the first time in six months, backing expectations the Bank of Japan will need to offer more stimulus on top up its already massive easings to revive a sputtering economy. The pressure on Japanese policy makers was underscored by separate data showing Japanese business expenditure fell in April-June from the previous quarter. Conditions were even more gloomy in South Korea, a bellwether for global demand. An extended slide in exports put manufacturers in Asia’s fourth largest economy to the sword, with the August PMI contracting at its fastest pace in a year. Other data showing Korean exports rebounded last month was seen as an aberration due to two extra working days this year. (rtr)

JAKARTA - Foreign Affairs Minister Retno LP Marsudi attended a working meeting with Commission I of the House of Representatives to discuss the protection of Indonesian migrant workers, among other issues. Based on the agenda submitted by Chairman of Commission I Abdul Kharis Almasyhari here on Wednesday, the House expected to receive a report on the governments efforts to protect 177 Indonesian Hajj pilgrims being held by the immigration officials in the Philippines for using fake Philippine passports and nine Indonesians taken hostage by armed groups in the southern Philippines. The meeting was also scheduled to discuss the state of Indonesian students after the failed coup in Turkey in July. On Aug. 26, two Indonesian students detained by the Turkish security forces since Aug. 11 were finally released. The two female students were arrested for their suspected involvement in the Hizmet/FETO organization. The two Indonesian students identified as Dwi Puspita Ari Wijayanti and Yumelda Ulan Afrilian were released on Aug. 25 after it was revealed that they were not part of the Hizmet/FETO organization, Head of the Indonesian Citizen Protection Directorate General from the Foreign Ministry Lalu Muhammad Iqbal stated. The Turkish government had accused the organization for being the mastermind behind the failed military coup on July 15. Both Indonesian students were handed over by the Turkish prosecutor to a consulate official in the Indonesian Embassy in Ankara who had traveled to the city of Bursah where the two were held. The students are currently staying in the ambassadors residence in Ankara. In addition, the House was keen to hear the governments statement related to global issues, including the South China Sea dispute. (ant)

Demand continues

Rhodamine B and formaldehyde still on sale at Badung Market

DENPASAR - After intensifying supervision against traditional cakes ahead of Galungan at Badung Market, the Regional Agency for Food and Drug Administration (BBPOM) of Denpasar took 50 samples, Wednesday (Aug. 31). The samples included traditional cakes, chicken, pork, chips, fish, anchovy fish et cetera. Results of the fast test or introduction got seven positive samples containing Rhodamine B and five positive samples containing formaldehyde. Next, it will be resumed with the test in the BBPOM laboratory Denpasar. Formaldehyde was found in palm’s seed, tofu, anchovy fish, Medan anchovy and fermented fish. Then, Rhodamine B contained in one sample of abug snacks, one sample of dry bendu, one sample of red gipang, two samples of uli cake, two samples of begina cake. Chief of the BBPOM Denpasar, Endang Widowati, said that her agency takes all kinds of food estimated to be used for Galungan because presumably there are still traditional cakes containing hazardous ingredients. “Our supervision is based on priorities, so that we do not take them all,” she said. Hazardous ingredients commonly found are textile dyes in foods as well as borax and formaldehyde. “So, we hope that consumers are aware because as long as there is still demand, the producers will

continue to make,” he said. Indeed her agency targeted different means. However, if any food found to contain harmful ingredients at the same place, the agency will come down again to conduct sampling tests. After conducting surveillance at the Badung Market, it was resumed to Padangsambian Market and the markets outside the town. Furthermore, the foods containing such hazardous ingredients were seized. The next measure remains to accentuate coaching. However, her agency will explore the food source. Based on the results of interviews with some merchants, the food was taken from distributor. Therefore, it will search for the distributor considering that Government Regulation No.28 states that food safety is the responsibility of some relevant agencies and the results of food positively containing hazardous ingredients will be further informed to all relevant agencies such as the Industry and Trade Agency and Health Agency to be followed up.

Malaysia confirms first Zika case, victim had visited Singapore

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia reported its first case of Zika on Thursday, a woman who tested positive for the mosquitoborne virus after a visit to neighboring Singapore, where 115 people have so far been infected, many of them foreigners. The 58-year-old victim had shown signs of a rash and fever one week after her return from Singapore on August 21, said Malaysian Health Minister Subramaniam Sathasivam. “We are carrying out control measures against aedes mosquitoes near the woman’s home to prevent the spread of the virus,” he told a news conference. The Zika virus, which has spread through the Americas and the Caribbean since late last year, is generally a mild disease but is a particular risk to pregnant women. It has been linked to microcephaly - a severe birth defect in which babies are born with abnormally small heads and underdeveloped brains. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had said Singapore is the only Asian nation with an active Zika virus transmission. Officials in the city-state, one of the world’s largest financial centers and busiest travel hubs, reported the first locally transmitted infection on Saturday and said on Wednesday the number had jumped to 115. Singapore authorities detected infections in people living outside the initial outbreak area and have identified a potential second cluster.

A pregnant woman was among the victims, they said. “Over time, we expect Zika cases to emerge from more areas,” Singapore’s Minister for Health Gan Kim Yong said in a statement on Wednesday. “We must work and plan on the basis that there is Zika transmission in other parts of Singapore and extend our vector control efforts beyond the current affected areas.” Five Malaysians in Singapore had tested positive for Zika, including the latest victim’s adult daughter, who works in Singapore, the Malaysian minister said. Twenty-one Chinese nationals, 13 Indians, six Bangladeshis, and an Indonesian are also among the 115 cases of Zika reported in Singapore, foreign officials said. Many are believed to be overseas workers at building sites in Singapore, although the Singapore government has not given details of the victims by nationality. The United States, Australia, Taiwan, South Korea and Indonesia have warned pregnant women not to travel to Singapore. The outbreak and advisories come as the tourism industry in Singapore already faces weak

Australia must choose between United States and China - US Army official

REUTERS/David Gray TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY

People watch as a paraglider flies past them as they sit atop Long Reef Point on the first day of Spring in Sydney, Australia September 1, 2016.

SYDNEY - A senior U.S. soldier said on Thursday Australia must choose between a stronger U.S. alliance or closer ties with China, and urged Canberra to take a tougher stance against Chinese claims in the South China Sea. “I think the Australians need to make a choice ... it’s very difficult to walk this fine line between balancing the alliance with the United States and the economic engagement with China,” U.S. Army Assistant Chief of Staff Colonel Tom Hanson said on Australian Broadcasting Corp. Radio. “There’s going to have to be a decision as to which one is more of a vital national interest for Australia,” he said. Hanson said the comments reflected his personal view and were not necessarily that of the U.S. government. The comments follow the publication of a parliamentary booklet warning Australian lawmakers to treat Chinese motives in the region with caution. Australia, a staunch U.S. ally, has previously drawn criticism from China for running surveillance flights over

disputed islands in the South China Sea, and supporting U.S. freedom of navigation exercises there. However, Australia has not conducted a unilateral freedom of navigation voyage of its own. “Clearly China believes that they have an opportunity and they feel empowered to flout that, and a demonstration by Australia would be welcome,” Hanson said. Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said in response to Hanson’s comments that the U.S. role in the IndoPacific region was as important now as it had ever been. “We are balancing relationships between our largest strategic ally and our largest trading partner with deft diplomacy, consistency and pragmatism,” Bishop said in a statement. China is Australia’s biggest trading partner and a large source of foreign investment, spending $11.1 billion on Australian assets, mostly property, in 2015, accounting and advisory firm KPMG and the University of Sydney have said.

Fashion

The Reign of the Nothing Shoe Continues FALL is right around the corner, and if there’s one trend that’s sticking around as the season transitions, it’s Nothing Shoes. The barely-there footwear style features either thin nude straps or clear PVC trim. Kim Kardashian West was an early adopter of the trend— possibly because her husband designed a pair of sandals that fall into the trend—as was her BFF Chrissy Teigen, who favors the famous Nudist sandals. The idea of this style is to make the top of the foot as visible as possible, which elongates the leg. With its minimalist design, these pumps or sandals can easily go with everything from casual jeans to a sleek dress. In fact, they can be the finishing touch any outfit needs, regardless of how much leg you’re showing. Do your closet a solid and add a pair of these celeb-approved shoes to your fall wardrobe.

Lovina attraction boosts tourist visit to Buleleng

SINGARAJA - Potential of Lovina Beach at Kalibukbuk village has an appeal to travelers from different countries. The increase in visitors is boosted by tourism players through a variety of promotions in some regions of the country. One of them is the iconic dolphin attraction having drawn many visitors as alternative holiday destination in Buleleng. Tourism practitioner and chairman of the Indonesia Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) of Buleleng, Dewa Ketut Suardipa, said that Lovina destination is developed in line with the effort to boost tourist visit. Sometimes the situation of low tourist visit is influenced by the shortage of information as alternative holiday destination where Lovina can be an option. “The decrease in tourist visit is caused by some factors such as safety, economic crisis and other factors. We see the target market of Lovina, for example, has something to do with historical aspect as showed by many European guests,” said Suardipa, Wednesday (Aug. 31). Tourism condition at Lovina has not been growing rapidly like the destinations in southern Bali. The triggering factor is the less maximal improvement in infrastructure, traveling time and sanitation on Lovina beach. Additionally, the area of dolphin statue as the mascot is considered to require

a breakthrough and innovation through arrangement including the merchant stalls at the surroundings having supported the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Apparently Lovina is still focused on developing natural attraction. “The beauty of nature distinguishes Lovina in North Bali from South Bali. So, what is offered here is the concept of nature. Other than Lovina, the tourism of Buleleng also has Munduk, Pancasari to Batu Ampar,” he said. Dolphin is the iconic attraction owned by Lovina, where the population must be maintained and preserved together. It is not merely present as an object to pamper the desire of guests making a visit and then leave and return the next day. Thus, it occurs repeatedly without any alternative method to enjoy the dolphin natural attraction as a sustainable tourist visit. “Dolphins attraction at Lovina has been well known among foreign travelers. Moreover, almost 80 percent of guests during high season are coming from Europe and Asia,” he added. In the meantime, there has been harmonious relationship between fishermen and hotels at Kalibukbuk village. “Hotels and tourism fishermen have been working together. Local fishermen through its organization are involved in drawing tourist visits. Virtually all the hotels at Lovina make cooperation with fishermen,” he said. (kmb34)

The dry condition of Kubu, Karangasem make it difficult for the people there to earn living.

Over 14,000 residents of Karangasem still illiterate, Kubu subdistrict the highest

AMLAPURA - A total of 14,498 residents of Karangasem district remain to hold illiterate predicate, while Kubu subdistrict is the region with the highest illiterate population, namely reaching 5,046 people. This was announced by the Head of the Karangasem Education Agency, Gede Ariyasa, in his office, Wednesday (Aug. 31).

Ariyasa said that the data on illiterate and dropout population have been available along with his name and address. The data were obtained from an independent survey by involving hamlet chief throughout Karangasem until December 2015. The illiteracy age group surveyed belongs to 15-24 years amounting to 897 people (6.19 percent) of the total population. Then, illiteracy in the age group of 25-44 years amounted to 5,251 (36.22 percent), the age group of 45-59 years amounted to 8,350 (57.59 percent). “In order to streamline the illiteracy eradication program, we will also create a program based on the

age group,” he added. He recognized that in the Kubu subdistrict with barren geographic region and population largely scattered in the hill areas still accounts for the highest number of illiterates. It is followed by the second largest number namely the Karangasem subdistrict with 2,677 people, Abang subdistrict (2,449 people) and Selat subdistrict (1,417 people). “It is almost the same as the region of Kubu, the region of Karangasem and Abang equally barren and the population distribution in the barren hills. Road access to people’s house is also difficult as located in the hills and spread settlements,” he said.

He told that Manggis subdistrict has the smallest illiterates only reaching 380 people and then Rendang (921 people), Bebandem (808 people) and Sidemen (800 people). With the clear data regarding the name and address of the illiterate people, his agency will be more focused on targeting them in order to eradicate the illiteracy rate. This year, he added, there has been a program to target 500 participants at Seraya. “Many of them have been old enough and got married. When their time is used to attend the eradication program such as reading and writing, they will get fund,” he said. Surely, added this teacher of sustainable Bali from Karangasem, the illiteracy alleviation program is continued at the other villages or subdistricts. However, it will depend on the budget provided by the government and parliament. (013)

COVER STORY

Foreign... From page 1

“Within a year, not more than 300 foreign workers are registered by the employing companies,” said the Head of the Denpasar Manpower Agency, IGA Anom Suradi, when met some time ago at Sewaka Dharma Building, Lumintang. Possibly there are some unregistered foreign workers. However, he said that it is the obligation of national unity and political agency (Kesbang-

pol) to do the monitoring. “We have received the number having been officially registered by the company. While the monitoring whether they have registered or not is the domain of Kesbangpol,” he said. As a result, the only registered workers have contributed to the city of Denpasar through the IMTA payment. Each foreign worker is subject to a levy of USD 100 per month. “Depending on the exchange rate, each foreign worker pays around IDR 15 million a year.

It goes into the regionally generated revenue,” he explained. The workers having been registered at the Manpower Agency continues to be monitored. It is meant to ensure that companies have applied the proper rules. “At least, their presence can be persistently monitored and the companies do their obligation to pay the levy. Moreover, the most important is that the company needs to prepare a companion of local workforce because foreign workers cannot

always occupy the same position. Suppose they become a GM, the company must prepare a companion. There is a deadline but I forget how long it lasts. It is only allowed for particular times,” he added. His agency can only urge so the companies employing foreign workers are willing to register formally to the Manpower Agency. “We do hope that all companies, schools or institutions employing foreigners in the city of Denpasar to officially register them and pay

the IMTA,” he said. In the meantime, a number of raids conducted by the joint team comprising the representatives of immigration office, police authority, military and related institutions coordinated by the national unity and political agency of Denpasar found quite a lot of expatriates working in Denpasar. Most of the foreign workers raided have owned a residence permit as seen at Sanur Kauh village. At least 500 foreign workers live at this village. (kmb12)

To manage Bali local fruits

Buleleng invites investors to build cool storage

BULELENG district has been famous as fruit producer in Bali. Various types of fruit ranging from durian, mangosteen, mango, grapes, bananas, tangerine and other local fruits are produced by farmers in North Bali. Unfortunately, farmers are still faced with the post-harvest problems that so far still cause losses to farmers. To overcome the problems, the local government under the leadership of Putu Agus Suradnyana (PAS) and Nyoman Sutjidra begins to direct their policies to boost the agriculture and plantation sector. Especially for post-harvest handling, local government begins to design the need for cool storage. To build this facility, the government hopes the participation of capital owners or investors. Several years ago, there were investors showing their interest in developing cool storage in Buleleng. However, it was not known why they cancelled the investment. In addition to cool storage development, the advisory services to farmers

will be optimized in improving crop productivity with the selection of superior seeds. Likewise, pest and disease control will be maximized through the agricultural extension officers (PPL). Not long ago, Regent Putu Agus Suradnyana said that post-harvest handling becomes important so that the Bali local fruit production in the region is salable. From his field observation, all this time farmers have not handled their post-harvest optimally. When the harvest comes, the price drops. In the meantime, if the production is limited, price tends to skyrocket, so that farmer takes a shortcut to harvest their immature

fruits. This treatment has poor impact on the quality of the fruits produced. “The post-harvest problem has not been resolved yet by farmers. When the production is abundant, the price turns low and farmers even left their products to perish because it is not salable. Conversely, when famine season occurs, the price of fruit is skyrocketing and the immature fruits are harvested early, so that the quality is down,” he said. In order that farmers can get out of this complicated problem, cool storage facility has become the most effective solution. Proper storage can maintain the freshness of fruits, so that the quality can be maintained, and farmers finally get a standard price. In addition, the excessive production season, cool storage can overcome because the excessive production can survive in a certain time. Thus, the demand will rebound and farmers will automatically be able to supply to

retailers or company. In this situation, the price will be stable. “If our fruit production is stored in a special place, I think the supply to the market can be controlled in any situation. Most importantly, the availability of fruit stock with good quality will keep prices stable,” he explained. Aside from post-harvest, focus of the handling taken by local government in the future is to maintain crop productivity and control pest and disease in an integrated manner. Crop productivity is boosted by the selection of superior seeds. It is carried out by doing research through agricultural demonstration plot. For pest and disease control, he will embrace a group of farmers to participate in the field school. So far, the field school method has been successfully applied to rice crops, while for fruit plants will begin to be encouraged. Improvement of human resources

quality of farmers is not only made by transferring insight, but this measure reduces the habit of farmers to lease their plantation land to capital owners. So far, the plantation leasehold is detrimental to farmers because other than getting cheap lease, the plants will be more easily damaged because the leaseholders force the plants to produce with the application of excessive pesticides. To support this program, the government will optimize the allocation of budget in the region while applying for assistance to provincial government and relevant ministries. “After the post-harvest is handled properly, the productivity of crops through selection of superior seed as well as pest and disease control will also be worked on. Thus, the whole effort will excite farming activity, mainly the plant of Bali local fruits in our region,” said the regent from Banyuatis village. (mud)

Sudikerta affirms to reject geothermal project

DENPASAR - Deputy Governor of Bali, I Ketut Sudikerta, denied if he still continues the geothermal project. His presence in the meeting with Commission VII of the House of Representatives in Jakarta on Tuesday (Aug. 30) was even meant to deliver the rejection to the sustainability of the project by the provincial government of Bali. The rejection has been stipulated in the Gubernatorial Decree. “I already read the whole chronologies yesterday before the leadership of the Commission VII. So, the provincial government of Bali has rejected the sustainability of the Bedugul geothermal development project,” he said when confirmed on Wednesday (Aug. 31). Sudikerta explained that the

issuance of the Gubernatorial Decree was based on the aspirations of the people making a protest to the governor a few years ago. They are starting from environmentalists, religious leaders and cultural figures declaring their rejection against the geothermal development. “Should there be any losses of the state in it, they become the responsibility of central government,” he added. In other words, added Sudikerta, the issue of penalties due to arising losses becomes the responsibility of central government. The Law No.23/2014 on Regional Government has asserted that the management of geothermal and gas energy becomes the authority of central government. Later in

the Law No.2008/2004 is stated that management of mining also becomes the authority of central government. “The provincial government only has the tasks to facilitate because the authority lies in central government. So, I state firmly that Sudikerta and the government of Bali reject the sustainability of the geothermal development,” he said. When interviewed separately, Regional Secretary of Bali Province, Cokorda Ngurah Pemayun, reiterated the attitude of the Bali provincial government that rejected the geothermal project. The official rejection has even been sent to central government by former Governor of Bali Dewa Made Beratha

and Governor Made Mangku Pastika. “Previously, it has been sent by the governor, both the previous and current governor. There has been official letter to close, so that it is dormant,” he said. In the meantime, Secretary of Commission III of the Bali House of Representatives, Ketut Kariyasa Adnyana, said that the Bali House of Representatives also remain consistent to stop first the geothermal issues. Currently, Bali has a surplus of electricity as well as there are so powerful aspirations from the public. Although the geothermal energy belongs to renewable energy, it will be clearing the protected forest or conservation area of Bedugul, Tabanan. “Obviously, it belongs to con-

servation area. There are concerns regarding the water resources in the three lakes, namely the Lake Buyan, Lake Tamblingan and Lake Beratan,” he said. Kariyasa also added that central government, especially the parliament, should no longer need to encourage the Bali provincial government to be firm because the decision of the executive and legislative in Bali has been very assertive. Rather than dealing with the geothermal clearly rejected by people, central government is better to soon realize the ten shortcut constructions in the Mengwitani-Singaraja road section. The shortcut project is considered more evident to be achieved for the sake of equitable development. (kmb32)

LOS ANGELES - The struggle to replicate human emotion in artificial intelligence is often explored in movies, but what happens when an artificial being is too emotional? “Morgan,” out in theaters on Friday, is set in a near future reality where a group of scientists from a corporate AI company breed a synthetic baby. Aged 5 but growing faster than a human child, Morgan, played by 20-year-old Anya Taylor-Joy, looks like female teenager and is a highly intelligent being with outbursts of deadly anger. When Morgan is told by her human minder that she is no longer allowed outdoors and instead must stay in a caged underground room where she is constantly observed, she stabs her in the eye. In comes the immaculately groomed corporate agent Lee Weathers (Kate Mara) to determine whether Morgan should be terminated. “I had to hold back on most emotions because my character is rather unemotional and very even-keeled and calculated, very focused,” Mara said in an interview. The film centers on its three lead female characters who include “Game of Thrones” actress Rose Leslie as Morgan’s closest friend, and Morgan’s struggle with gender identity. Half the scientists identify

DENPASAR - The invasion of foreign workers to Denpasar apparently has not been too significant. As evidence, the results of data collection in the Denpasar Labor Agency until August 2016 indicated there are approximately 170 people whereas in Denpasar there are quite a lot of educational institution, goods and services sectors as well as tourism sector employing foreign worker.

who created her. The film came out just as “Morgan” was about to start shooting, Scott said, and while he called Garland’s movie “quite niche,” he added that it made him rethink parts of “Morgan.” “There’s a lot of philosophy in there,” Scott said. “I thought that was terrific, but for me it was a good lesson in that initially I wanted to start moving in that direction. But watching “Ex Machina,” I thought: ‘Do you know what? I’m going to steer clear of this and perhaps be a little bit more entertaining and go for action.’” (rtr)

JAKARTA — Indonesia is screening travelers from neighboring Singapore for the mosquito-borne Zika virus as the city-state reports a growing number of infections and its first case of a pregnant woman testing positive. Indonesian Health Ministry spokesman Oscar Primadi said Thursday that health officials are recommending that the Foreign Ministry issue an advisory against nonessential travel to Singapore, particularly for pregnant women. Singapore on Wednesday said it had identified 22 new Zika cases in one particular area of the city and its first case involving a pregnant woman. Zika has mild effects for most people but doctors believe infection during pregnancy can result in babies with small heads, which is

known as microcephaly, and other serious developmental disorders. Singapore had 155 cases as of Wednesday. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is advising travelers to Singapore to take precautions such as protecting themselves against mosquito bites, and because the virus can also be sexually transmitted, to use condoms or not have sex. Primadi said thermal imaging equipment to detect abnormal body temperatures was installed at eight Indonesian ports with routes serv-

ing Singapore, including the capital Jakarta’s airport. He said travelers will also be given a health questionnaire so they will recognize symptoms and know to immediately report to health authorities. On Thursday, Malaysia’s Health Ministry said a 58-year-old woman who traveled to Singapore had become that country’s first Zika case.
