O.J. Simpson freed on parole - AP, citing Nevada prison official NEVADA - Onetime “Trial of the Century” defendant O.J. Simpson was released early on Sunday from the Nevada prison where he had been held since 2008 for a botched armed robbery at a Las Vegas casino hotel, the Associated Press reported.

The AP cited a Nevada prison official as having confirmed Simpson’s release. No details on Simpson’s whereabouts or destination were reported, and authorities could not be reached to verify the report.

Simpson, 70, won his freedom from a Nevada parole board in July after nine years behind bars, at a hearing that did not take into account his 1990s trial for the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and a friend, Ron Goldman.

He reportedly left prison shortly after midnight local time.

Simpson, a former pro football star turned actor and TV pitchman, was found not guilty in 1995 following his sensational, 13-month trial in Los Angeles, which was televised live daily, transfixing much of the country.

A civil court jury subsequently found him liable for the deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in damages to the victims’ families, a judgment that remains largely

unpaid.

Simpson’s ultimate destination remains unclear. He told parole board members he hopes to move to Florida, where he has friends and family, a plan that must be approved by probation authorities there.

Florida corrections officials say they had not received a parole transfer request for Simpson and had not been contacted by their counterparts in Nevada.

Simpson is a native of California, born in San Francisco, and played his final years as a pro football player for that city’s team, the 49ers. He lived in Los Angeles at the time of the murders.

But California corrections officials say he has not filed papers to live in that state either.

At his parole hearing, Simpson, known during his football career as the “Juice”, said he was ready to spend time with his children and friends outside prison and could handle the public attention he would get.

Among reasons the commissioners gave for their decision was that Simpson had complied with prison rules during his incarceration, had no prior criminal convictions and posed a minimal safety risk to the public. (rtr)

Beyonce remixes Latin hit ‘Mi Gente’ to aid disaster relief efforts Beyonce

LOS ANGELES - Beyonce has released a new single and video to help with relief efforts following the recent natural disasters in the Caribbean and Mexico.

“Mi Gente (My People),” a remix of the Latin hit by J. Balvin and Willy William, marks the R&B singer’s first new music since giving birth to twins in June.

“I am donating my proceeds from this song to hurricane relief charities for Puerto Rico, Mexico and the other affected Caribbean islands,” Beyonce said on her Instagram page on Thursday.

“We’re heartbroken by the hurricanes and earthquakes that have devastated families around the world. There are many ways to help,” she added in a message on her official website, where she

directed followers to a number of disaster relief organizations.

Hurricane Maria, the most powerful storm to hit Puerto Rico in nearly 90 years, has killed at least 16 people on the island and more than 30 across the Caribbean. In Puerto Rico, most of the island’s 3.4 million residents have been 10 days without power and residents have complained about the slowness of official U.S. recovery efforts.

The original Spanish-language “Mi Gente,” released in June, has been a No. 1 hit in much of South America and in many European

nations, and has been viewed 893 million times on YouTube.

The remix by Beyonce, featuring home videos of ordinary people dancing, is expected to push sales higher and by Friday had already been viewed more than 1.8 million times.Beyonce also lent her support to relief efforts in her home town of Houston, Texas, sending a taped message to a charity telethon earlier in September that raised more than $44 million for the victims of hurricanes Harvey and Irma.

“Natural disasters don’t discriminate. They don’t see if you’re an immigrant, black or white, Hispanic or Asian, Jewish or Muslim, wealthy or poor ... we’re all in this together,” she said at the time. (rtr)

History of Mount Agung eruption in 1963

Eruption occurred when Eka Dasa Rudra was going on at Besakih

MOUNT Agung last erupted in 1963. At that time, many people experienced the impacts of Mount Agung eruption. Now, they are faced again with similar situation and the villages within disaster-prone areas III, II and I have evacuated. However, currently the Mount Agung remains in warning status and is waiting for eruption. At that time, the residents becoming the eruption victims of the highest mountain in Bali reached hundreds of people. Besides, Besakih Temple was still organizing Eka Dasa Rudra or centennial ritual.

Live witness of the Mount Agung eruption in 1963, Jro Mangku Sueca, 75, said that at that time Besakih residents were still doing activities as usual when the mountain erupted.

He said that at that time there was no sophisticated device as we see today.

Today, prior to the eruption, people have been instructed to evacuate in

order to anticipate the occurrence of casualties. “At that time, people are not as panicky as they are now because there were no sophisticated devices as used today, so they did not know if Mount Agung would erupt,” he said.

This priest of Penataran Agung Temple added that when Mount

Agung erupted in 1963, the Eka Dasa Rudra ritual was still going on at Penataran Agung Temple where the eruption occurred early morning.

At that time, Besakih residents were still busy paying devotional works at Penataran Agung. Although the mountain already erupted, the community, especially that of Besakih,

were still working.

According to Jro Mangku Sueca, at that time Besakih was hit by the rain of ash, sand and stones. Customary clothes of the pilgrims saying prayers at that time were showered by ash rain. The black ashes afflicting their clothes could not be cleaned though having been washed. In the meantime, if the skin is hit, it will be hot and itching because the ashes are still hot. Then, meru shrines at the temple were entirely covered with ashes so they were not visible.

Nevertheless, it did not cause temples or meru shrines to be damaged.

“When the ritual would be closed, then Besakih residents flocked to evacuate. Prior to evacuating, residents remained to pay devotional works (ngaturang ngayah) and said prayers,” explained Jro Mangku Sueca.

Number of refugees starts stagnant

SEMARAPURA - The number of refugee in Klungkung district has been relatively stagnant since two days ago. Daily arrivals like the previous days no longer happened. Nevertheless, the data collection is done continuously so as to be more accurate.

According to information collected until Saturday afternoon (Sep. 30), the number of refugees in Klungkung remained in the range of 24,000 people spreading across 118 points. According to Chief Executive of BPBD Klungkung, I Putu Widiada, the number has tended to stagnate since two days ago. The influx of refugees with different ages is no longer the same as before. “The number of refugees has begun to stagnate,” he said.

Information on the presence of continuation refugees has no longer been obtained from the government

of Karangasem. If that happens, they will remain accepted and accommodated at he places available. “For example, if there are refugees coming again, we still receive,” he said.

In addition to thinking about the residents of Karangasem, district government is also preparing a refuge for Klungkung residents living on the banks of Unda River to face in case the Mount Agung erupts. “This has been coordinated with the village and subdistrict government where the places can still be used,” said Widiada.

According to data collection, the area around the Unda River has the potential to be affected by cold lava reaching 13 villages, with a total population of about 52,000 people. “Those that have should be evacuated in case of eruption have not been ascertained. Obviously, the whole villages are included in the mapping,” he said. (kmb45)

DENPASAR - Balinese Hindus believe that Mount Agung is the palace of deities and abode of Lord Shiva. On that account, the Hindus in Bali make Mount Agung currently declared in warning status a sanctified place. Moreover, under the foot of Mount Agung sits the Besakih Temple denoting the largest Sad Kahyangan temple in Indonesia and the mother temple of Bali.

Chairman of the Hindu Dharma Council of Indonesia (PHDI) Bali, Prof. Dr. IGN Sudiana, said that other than becoming the residence of gods and ancestors, Mount Agung is also a source of life and awakening of the Hindus in Bali.

Mount Agung is also the upstream symbolizing the sanctity of Bali.

Thus, the purity of Mount Agung area should always be maintained both in the physical (sekala) and psychical (niskala) realm.

“Philosophically, Mount Agung symbolizes linggacala (unmoved phallus) and denotes the abode of Sang Hyang Pasupati or Sang Hyang Girinata. On that account, Balinese Hindus as well as travelers in the area of Mount Agung must always think and speak positively and act politely,” said Prof. Sudiana.

In addition, Mount Agung is also a radius giving the effect of balance for the universe. In Adi Parwa, he said, the rotation of Mount Agung can bring out Tirta Amertha or holy water for life. Thus, in Hinduism a mountain symbolizes a place that affords life and prosperity to all living beings around it. Therefore, the preservation of Mount Agung should not be disrupted, neither the trees nor the materials around Mount Agung.

“The center of holiness in Bali is in Mount Agung. If harassed, it will be wrathful and cause havoc.

On that account, thinking of badness in the area of Mount Agung is not allowed, let alone do immoral behavior,” he said.

Sudiana asserted that Mount Agung posing the abode of the gods can also be symbolized in this life.

Just as in the sanctum (temple), mount is symbolized as meru (multi-tiered shrine), in the means of upakara (offerings), tumpeng (rice cone) as the symbol of mountain, while in the human body, the heart symbolizes the mountain.

Thus, sanctity of the temple must be properly maintained, although tourists go to Mount Agung and Besakih Temple. “Do not ignore the temple sanctity just because we need money but imposes a bad effect on our life together,” he said.

Responding to the increase in the status of Mount Agung into warning, his organization with the devotees already carried out peneduh jagat (pacification) ritual activities on September 20. The ritual means to appeal to God Almighty in order to control the activities of Mount Agung so as to return to normal as well as save the earth and all its contents.

The ritual also means to convey the apology (guru piduka) for the mistakes of the community, not only those living around Mount Agung, but also the whole community of Bali and Indonesia in general. In addition, he said that people and the whole customary villages in Bali have also done the same thing in the temple or their respective shrines so that the Mount Agung will be back to normal.

Concerned with situation of Mount Agung

Panji villagers hold a joint prayer

SINGARAJA — A number of children, youths and residents of Panji village, Sukasada, held a joint prayer at the local village square on Saturday night (Sep. 30). This action was deliberately held as a form of sympathy for the condition of Mount Agung currently bearing a warning status. If Mount Agung erupts, people will also pray so that the disaster will not claim many victims.

The prayer was led by headman of Panji, Nyoman Sutama, together with village and customary youth club apparatus.

While praying, children, young men and adults dressed in traditional attires lit candles. Not surprisingly, the field area

became full of candle flames and attracted many residents.

Headman of Panji, Nyoman Sutama, said that the joint prayer was initiated by village officials with local youth since the arrival of refugees from Karangasem to Buleleng, including Panji village. A total of 18 family heads or 50 refugees from Karangasem are now evacuating at people’s homes spreading across all hamlets at Panji village.

Since receiving the refugees, the village government and he personally have delivered assistance in the form of rice to ease the burden of refugees. “Having discussed with village and youth club apparatus, we established a team of village refugee management. It decided to hold this mass prayer as a form of concern and prostration to God so that

Protect ourselves from volcanic ashes by mask

DENPASAR — If the eruption will occur, residents are expected to anticipate the health problems by protecting themselves. One of the materials coming out of the mountain is volcanic ash. In addition to affecting the breathing, volcanic ashes also affect the eyes in the form of red eyes, eye irritation to conjunctivitis. This was conveyed by a lung specialist of Siloam Hospital Bali, Erwin Winaya, on Friday (Sep. 9).

Volcanic ashes are of various sizes. So, the impact on the breathing also depends on the particles inhaled. The size starting from10 to 100 micron will be deposited in the nose and throat. Then, lower size of 4-10 micron will be deposited in trachea and bronchi, while the size smaller than 4 micron will be deposited on the alveoli.

the situation of Mount Agung will not endanger the people in Karangasem,” he said.

In the meantime, hamlet chief of Kelod Kauh, Panji village, Marsa Jaya, said that this joint prayer is a part of the movement of the refugee management team established at local village. Before this joint prayer, he already carried out fundraising action, and the money having been collected was then distributed to refugees. In addition, other forms of assistance have also been distributed to help alleviate the needs of refugees at their villages.

“We pray for the safety of people in Karangasem and Mount Agung would not endanger humanity. We have distributed the assistance both in the form of material and money to refugees at our village,” he added. (kmb38)

The effects can be irritation in nose, irritation in throat, irritation in trachea, bronchitis to alveolitis. Symptoms are ranging from colds, swallowing pain, coughing up to shortness of breath. “However, the hazardous volcanic ash content is in the form of large particles such as silica and carbon as residue of burning,” he said.

Other than volcanic ash, the harmful substances to respiration are carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid. Therefore, it is important to protect ourselves as early as possible from volcanic ashes and eruptions.

He said that to protect ourselves from volcanic ashes is IBP/file by avoiding contact with volcanic ashes, staying at home Volcanic ashes are of various sizes. So, the impact or using closed clothes, mask and dust-proof glasses when on the breathing also depends on the particles going out of the house. (kmb42) inhaled.

Dozens of refugees returned to Karangasem

GIANYAR - A total of 36 refugees at the Sutasoma Field post on Sunday (Oct. 1) returned to their home area, Karangasem. The reason, they come from villages outside the Disaster Risk Area (KRB). Some of the returned refugees admitted they were still worried about returning home. They are haunted by the earthquake due to increased activity of Mount Agung.

As delivered by Komang Arga, he along with 19 other refugees were asked to return to their home in Banjar Telaga Sibetan Village, District Bebandem, Karangasem. ‘’ It’s government’s instructions that we should returned, and we can not refuse, ‘’ he said.

Komang Arga admitted, initially took the initiative to evacuate about a week ago because of anxiety with the earthquake felt in his village. ‘’We are still afraid too because yesterday the earthquake was hard. Now me and my family and the goods must be transported back to home, ‘’ he said.

While other residents, Hairu Saleh along with eleven members of his family also returned to their village of Kecicang Islam, District Bebandem. ‘’ Yesterday we were displaced by panic, after the status rose to alert.

Seto Mulyadi (C) meets children in GOR Swecapura refugee camp yesterday (Oct.1)

SEMARAPURA - The number of Gunung Agung refugees in Klungkung Regency has reached tens of thousands. Of that number, recorded thousands of people still aged under five and children. In the face of a difficult life, the psychology of the nation’s next generation must be taken seriously. This was confirmed by the Chairman of the Indonesian Institute of Child Protection (LPAI) Seto Mulyadi during a visit to GOR Swecapura on Sunday (Oct. 1).

The man who is familiarly called

Kak Seto said the environment of children in the refugee has differences with his birthplace. It has the potential to have an impact on psychology. Children can fight or rebel or keep quiet. Anticipating that, some steps need to be taken to make them calm and happy.

Realizing that, the role of parents is necessary. When facing the child, they must be calm and show peace. Parents should be the spearhead and able to become a replacement psychology. “In addition to children, we also optimize the role

of parents, parents must be equal with the children,” he said.

In addition, in the evacuation environment, it is also necessary to have mutual reminders and give attention to each other. All must be able to bring a positive atmosphere.

“If in the banjar, can form a task force. This can be reminiscent of other communities as well,” he added.

According to data, the number of Karangasem children who took refuge to Klungkung reached 4,812 inhabitants. (kmb45)

Vanuatu ordered the full evacuation of the island after the nation’s largest volcano, known as Manaro Voui, began emitting volcanic gas last weekend.

Vanuatu has maintained its danger rating at threat level four, the second highest, as a flotilla of ships including ferries and commercial vessels has begun moving the population to the nearby islands of Maewo, Pentecost and Santo.

More than 6,000 people have already gone to emergency shelters on the South Pacific island.

The Australian amphibious landing ship HMAS Choules left for Vanuatu on Saturday morning with specialists and supplies, the government said in a statement.

Vanuatu called for international help through the FRANZ partnership, which groups France, Australia and New Zealand, and aims to evacuate the island by Oct. 6.

The volcano is crowned by crater lakes which make it more dangerous, said vulcanologist Christopher Firth of

Australia’s Macquarie University.

One of the lakes is directly above the eruption, increasing its explosive potential and posing the threat of a deadly lahar: a boiling mud flow down the side of the mountain, Firth said.

Australia has committed A$250,000 ($196,000) for supplies including food, water, shelter and hygiene kits, and will assist in aerial surveillance, the statement said.

New Zealand has also given aid including water, sanitation and hygiene kits and has made NZ$100,000 ($72,000) available for the response, Foreign Affairs Minister Gerry Brownlee said on Saturday.

Vanuatu, a sprawling cluster of more than 80 islands and 260,000 people, is on the geologically active Pacific Ring of Fire and its Tana island active volcano is a major tourist attraction.

Ambrym island, in the centre of the Vanuatu archipelago is also erupting from two active cones and is rated at a threat level three, a minor eruption. (rtr)

Trump lays blame on Puerto Ricans for slow hurricane response

SAN JUAN - U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday placed blame squarely on Puerto Ricans for the slow recovery from Hurricane Maria after critics and the mayor of San Juan complained his administration’s response to the U.S. territory’s plight was insufficient.

Eleven days after the devastat-

ing storm wiped out power, water and communications systems, about half of the 3.4 million people on the island do not have access to drinking water, and 95 percent remain without power, according to the U.S. Defense Department.

“I’m a ticking time bomb on the verge of exploding,” said Adeline Vazquez, 53, who needs a ventila-

tor for respiratory problems and whose building in the western city of Mayaguez does not have enough fuel to run a generator 24 hours a day.

Maria, the most powerful storm to strike Puerto Rico in nearly 90 years, has destroyed roads, making it difficult to deliver aid and move the heavy equipment needed to fix damaged infrastructure across the island. The hurricane has killed at least 16 people, according to the official death toll.

Trump, who plans to visit the island on Tuesday, fired off a series of angry tweets from his private golf club in New Jersey, taking aim at the mayor of San Juan, the island’s capital and largest city.

On Friday, Carmen Yulin Cruz criticized Trump’s administration and begged for more help, a plea that received widespread television coverage in the mainland United States.

“Such poor leadership by the Mayor of San Juan and others in Puerto Rico who are not able to get their workers to help,” said Trump, a Republican. “They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort.”

Trump - who often turns to Twitter to strike out when his government is under pressure - accused Cruz of being “told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump” and blamed the media for not showing the “amazing job” of responders.

Cruz, who has been living in a shelter after her home was destroyed in the hurricane, said municipal employees were working as hard as they could. She also said her complaints had resulted in more food and water being provided.

Cruz responded to Trump’s attack by saying she had no time for petty politics when lives were at stake.

“Sometimes you have to shake the tree in order to make things happen,” she told the New York Times. “And if that has a political cost, I will take it, as long as it saves lives.”

The heated rhetoric took the political tensions around the disaster to new heights, but Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello tried to distance himself from the battle ahead of Trump’s visit.

In an interview with Reuters on Saturday, Rossello said: “I’m not paying attention to social media,”

adding “my only focus right now is to make sure the people of Puerto Rico are well.”

When pressed, Rossello said he did not interpret Trump’s tweets as a slight to Puerto Rico’s people.

“When I read that tweet, it was in reference to the mayor of San Juan, not to the people of Puerto Rico,” said Rossello, who has made a point of working cooperatively with Trump’s administration on aid for the island.

“I saw it as a personal difference with the mayor of San Juan,” he said.

Rossello and Cruz are members of rival political parties. But Trump’s comments drew swift condemnation elsewhere, particularly from U.S. Democrats.

“The definition of ‘poor leadership’ is sitting at your golf club while millions of U.S. citizens beg for your help,” U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts, said on Twitter.

Later in the day, Trump tempered his tweeted barbs. “We must all be united in offering assistance to everyone suffering in Puerto Rico and elsewhere in the wake of this terrible disaster,” he said. (rtr)

BUSINESS

The official Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) released on Saturday rose to 52.4 in September, from 51.7 in August and well above the 50-point mark that separates growth from contraction on a monthly basis.

It marked the 14th straight month of expansion for China’s massive manufacturing industry and the highest reading since April 2012.

Analysts surveyed by Reuters had forecast the reading would ease slightly. The data comes ahead of the Communist Party Congress in mid-October, a once-every-five-years meeting where new leaders are appointed and the government’s key political and economic initiatives are laid out, though details are usually not announced until much later.

China’s manufacturers are reporting their best profits in years, fuelled by governmentled infrastructure spending, a strong housing market, higher factory-gate prices and a recovery in exports. “Over the short term, we believe the resilient demand growth and disciplined balance sheet expansion ... will point to further improvement in manufacturing profitability and investment returns,” analysts at China International Capital Corporation said in a note after the data.

But cost pressures from high raw materials prices and continued underperformance of smaller firms mean some manufacturers are still struggling. “Mid- and downstream industries are worried about a further increase in cost pressures,” National Bureau of Statistics official Zhao Qinghe wrote in comments published with the data.

INPUT PRICES CLIMB The latest survey showed input prices continued to rise at a solid clip, with the reading at 68.4 compared with 65.3 in August, benefiting upstream producers such as miners, smelters and oil refiners. Indexes for raw materials prices in the paper, wood processing and furniture, and chemical products manufacturing industries were all above 75.0, said Zhao, indicating large price increases.

Output prices also rose but at a slower

Mosaic Pottery of Yangapi Village Enters Foreign Market

China’s factories grow at fastest pace in over 5 years as prices surge

BEIJING - China’s manufacturing activity grew at the fastest pace since 2012 in September as factories cranked up output to take advantage of strong demand and high prices, easing worries of a slowdown before a key political meeting next month.

Production, total new orders and output prices all improved to the highest level in at least a year, while a pickup in a reading for the construction sector indicated a building boom is undiminished.

Wanagiri Tourist Attraction Draws Travelers

Various handicraft products produced by local craftsmen of Bangli have been able to penetrate foreign market. One of them is the mosaic pottery made by Nengah Kita, a craftsman from Kalanganyar hamlet, Yangapi, Tembuku.

Wayan Locong, the brother of Nengah Kita, having got involved in the same business all this time, said that his handicraft products include jars, candle holder, fruit plate and other wall decorations. In addition to being sold in local markets, the products are widely shipped to Europe, Spain and Argentina.

To make mosaic pottery, he purchases raw materials from outside Bangli such as pottery from Lombok, while glass is brought in from Gianyar. The process of making mosaic pottery begins from sanding the pottery until getting smooth. Further, it is painted and drawn according to the desired design. After that, the pottery is fitted with pieces of clear glass having already been colored.

Helped by 13 workers, in a day he can produce dozens of pieces.

Just like any other craft businesses, there are always obstacles faced by craftsmen. He added that in producing mosaic pottery, the constraint is the weather. If it rains continuously, the supply of pottery from Lombok is often too late. The price of mosaic pottery varies depending on the size. For a set of three stuffing jars is sold for IDR 100,000 to IDR 500,000. In the meantime, a candlestick is sold starting from IDR 20,000. (kmb)

A worker jokes and beckons at her colleague as she rolls away carts of unused tools between rows of spinning machine at a factory owned by Hong Kong’s Novetex Textiles Limited in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, China December 13, 2016. pace, pointing to lower profit margins for companies further along the supply chain who are unable to pass on all of the price increases to their customers. A separate PMI on the steel industry fell to 53.7 in September from 57.2 in August but remained in solid expansion territory, as the industry faces production restrictions aimed at reducing choking air pollution over the winter.

Analysts at China Merchants Securities said stricter production limits related to efforts to improve air quality and supply-side adjustments from capacity cuts had helped to improve the supply-demand balance, with new orders rising faster than production in September for the first time since 2012.

For the manufacturing sector overall, inventories of raw materials and finished goods continued to decline in September, providing little indication that factories were stocking up in preparation for winter production cuts.

Big firms saw the strongest improvement in September, with a large firms sub-index rising to 53.8, while one for small firms improved slightly but was still in contraction

territory at 49.4.

China’s cabinet on Wednesday said that China will take a number of measures, including tax exemptions and targeted reserve requirement ratio cuts, to encourage banks to support small businesses. The impressive performance for China’s manufacturers comes despite a government push to shutter outdated industrial capacity and clean up polluting industries, though some analysts say official claims of massive capacity cuts are misleading as overall production is still rising.

Chinese authorities are also in the midst of a campaign to reduce the risks from a rapid build-up in debt produced by years of credit-fuelled stimulus, and the continued strength of the industrial sector could give policymakers confidence to stick to the push for deleveraging.

PRIVATE SURVEY SHOWS SLOWER GROWTH A separate private survey may temper some of the enthusiasm, as it showed growth

slowed in September amid high pricing pressure and slower new order growth. The Caixin/Markit Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) fell to 51.0 in September, compared with 51.6 in August, as new export order growth slipped. So far, the regulatory clampdown has focused on the financial sector, particularly interbank and shadow banking activity, and the passthrough to the real economy appears to be limited.

But S&P last week downgraded China’s sovereign credit rating, saying the government’s deleveraging drive has progressed slower than expected, leading to higher economic and financial risks. An official survey on the services sector published Saturday rose at the fastest pace since 2014, though gains in that sector were also driven by higher input prices.

A sub-reading for the construction sector rose to 61.1 in September from 58.0 in August. The official data showed firms in both the manufacturing and services sector continued to shed workers.(rtr)

Manager of the Wanagiri Hidden Hill, I Ketut Kartika Yasa, said that this tourist attraction offers a ship-like platform extending to Lake Buyan. Buleleng society and visitors from other districts in Bali also like to visit this new destination. Moreover, there are a number of people from Java as well as foreign travelers chiming to visit the location. “On holidays,

the number of tourist visit can reach 300 people,” he said.

The tourist attraction offering mountain views and panoramic landscape is best favored these days by travelers. It becomes a cool breeze to customary village as the management for being able to generate the economy of surrounding communities. “Tourist visit is quite a lot, especially on

holidays,” he said.

To increase tourist visit, explained Kartika Yasa, this attraction still requires an arrangement, especially in the field of landscaping with ornamental flower plants.

“Our park needs to be filled to bring in beautiful impression. Other than at the location, it is also need along the way and the facilities like dust bin,” he hoped. (kmb)

Pepes Telengis, a Delicious Balinese Traditional Menu

If you are traditional foodies, try to taste the delicious pepes telengis, a traditional Balinese menu with main ingredient of telengis (remaining coconut oil deposits). It is byproduct traditionally coconut oil processing. Balinese cuisine has been popular since the past because it tastes good, nutritious and quite cheap. Although tasting just a little, it will feel very prominent, so a pack of pepes telengis is usually eaten with a plate of rice.

Pepes telengis has distinctive aromas and flavors. In the dough, it is usually combined with green leaves and herbs, such as sweet leaf and moringa leaves containing chlorophyll, calcium, vitamin

C and others. It can also be mixed with other types of vegetables, so that it feels better. If you like meat, the pepes telengis is usually mixed with pindang or salted fish. This traditional menu is very close to the life of farmers at villages. Few children and teenagers are willing to consume it. Pepes telengis will be better when eaten in warm condition.

In the past, pepes telengis can only be found in food stalls at villages. Sometimes, it is also sold in traditional markets along with porridge or cassava rice. Old people used to live in rural areas will miss enjoying this pepes wrapped in banana leaf. Fortunately, pepes

telengis can now be found in urban areas. “I often send pepes telengis to Denpasar. It happens there is an order. Thus, almost every day I make pepes telengis,” said Mrs. Tini, a farmer from Tabanan who used to make pepes telengis.

This menu is fairly healthy because it uses natural ingredient without chemicals. Coconut oil deposit as the main ingredient is the leftover of coconut oil processing, so it is taken advantage for food in the form of pepes telengis. The ingredients are telengis, sweet leaf or moringa leaf and banana leaf used to wrap it. Meanwhile, the spices are onion, garlic, chili, turmeric, ginger, shrimp paste and salt to taste.

Before making it, it may be necessary to look at the nanusin (oil making) process that can produce telengis. First of all, make coconut milk from dry or even old coconut.

Because the coconut is old, it will usually produce more oil. When making coconut milk, please begin with grating the coconut. The type of coconut for oil is different from the one for cake. Then, squeeze, so that it can produce coconut milk. On the first squeeze, do it without water, while the second use water to help.

The coconut milk is then fried. In addition to reducing water content, it is also meant to separate the clump of protein. The protein clumps will form a deposit at the bottom of pan.

This deposit is called telengis. The oil is then poured into a bottle or other container. The deposit of coconut milk is then filtered by using a cloth or a filter with a fine hole that can also collect the deposit of coconut milk, telengis.

How to prepare it? At first, ground all the spices until becoming smooth. Then, add telengis and mix well. Combine the sweet leaf or moringa leaf and then cook it until well done. Wrap it with banana leaf in tubular shape and lock each tip with bamboo stick.

After that, steam until cooked, and then bake it. Well, after generating a distinctive aroma, take out. Now, it is ready to serve. (kmb)

Scuffles break out as Spanish Civil Guard officers force their way through a crowd and into a polling station for the banned independence referendum where Catalan President Carles Puigdemont was supposed to vote in Sant Julia de Ramis, Spain October 1, 2017.

Spanish police storm polling station in Catalonia independence vote

BARCELONA - Spanish riot police smashed their way into a polling station in Catalonia on Sunday as they sought to shut down a banned independence referendum and there were reports of officers firing rubber bullets in the regional capital Barcelona.

Catalan emergency services said 38 people were hurt, mostly with minor injuries, as a result of police action.

Police burst into the polling station in a town in Girona province minutes before Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont was due to vote there. They smashed glass panels to force open the door as voters, fists in the air, sang the Catalan anthem.

Police also fired rubber bullets in central Barcelona, El Periodico newspaper reported, at the intersection of two streets as violence erupted during the vote which has thrown Spain into its worst constitutional crisis for decades.

Officers with riot shields jostled with hundreds of voters outside one station at a school in Barcelona as the crowd chanted “We are people of peace!” Armoured vans and an ambulance were parked nearby.

The referendum has been declared illegal by Spain’s central government in Madrid, which says the constitution states the country is indivisible and has drafted in thousands of police from around Spain into Catalonia

to prevent the vote.

The Catalan regional government had scheduled voting to open at 9 a.m. (0700 GMT) at around 2,300 stations, but Madrid said on Saturday it had shut more than half of them.

Voting started at some sites in the region of 7.5 million people, which has its own language and culture and is an industrial hub with an economy larger than that of Portugal. Leader Puigdemont changed plans and voted at a different station after the police action, the regional government said.

People had occupied some stations with the aim of preventing police from locking them down. Organisers smuggled in ballot boxes before dawn and urged voters to use passive resistance against police.

In a school used as a polling station in Barcelona, police in riot gear carried out ballot boxes while wouldbe voters chanted “out with the occupying forces!” and “we will vote!”.

The Catalan government said voters could print out ballot papers at home and lodge them at any polling station not closed down by police.

“I have got up early because my country needs me,” said Eulalia Espinal, 65, a pensioner who started queuing with around 100 others outside one polling station, a Barcelona school, in rain at about 5 a.m.

“We don’t know what’s going to happen but we have to be here,” she said. (rtr)

Germany’s first same-sex “I do”’s as marriage equality dawns BERLIN - Same-sex couples will marry in Germany for the first time on Sunday, when some civil registry offices will open specially to celebrate the coming into force of a marriage law that parliament passed in June.

Around a dozen same-sex couples are expected to marry in Berlin on Sunday, with a similar number due in Hamburg, gay rights organisations said, taking advantage of the decision of some registries to open on a day when they are normally closed.

Among them are Karl Kreile, 59, and Bodo Mende, 60, who will at 9.30 local time (0730 GMT) become Germany’s first married gay couple when they say “yes” in the town hall of the Berlin borough of Schoeneberg after 38 years together.

“We have finally achieved legal equality,” Mende told a news conference on Friday. “It’s been 25 years’ of hard struggle to secure this.”

Germany’s parliament approved marriage equality in June after Chancellor Angela Merkel chose to make the vote a matter of conscience, freeing many of her Social Democrat coalition partners and many of her

conservative lawmakers to vote for it.

Rights organisations say more needs to be done to achieve full equality. It is still impossible for children born into a lesbian couple to have both parents as a legal mother.

Kreile and Mende, who registered their civil partnership 15 years ago, shortly after it became legal to do so in Germany, first tried to marry a quarter of a century ago.

“I remember how it felt when we went to the registry office in Berlin Charlottenburg to request marriage,” said Kreile, describing a publicityraising campaign he and his partner had participated in.

“The official was nice, and so were the couples before and after us in the line, telling us: ‘We understand what you want.’ But afterwards I still had to feel a sense of shame. I felt discriminated against, being sent out again,” he added.

Some technical problems remain.

The government’s registry software recognises only opposite-sex marriages and will only be updated next year. Until then, even same-sex couples will be recorded as “husband” and “wife”. (rtr)

Thousands of Indonesians hold anti-communist protest in capital

JAKARTA - Several thousand protesters led by hardline Islamist groups held a rally on Friday outside Indonesia’s parliament to protest against what they called a growing threat from communism in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country.

Rows of police stood behind barbed wire with water cannons at the ready, but the rally was peaceful and the number of protesters far smaller than the estimated tens of

thousands expected by organisers and police.

Some protesters prayed and unfurled banners rejecting communism and also a government decree

targeting large organisations that was used to disband the Islamist group, Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia.

“The country is giving space to communists and their activities,” said one protester, Mohamad Khairudin, 42, who had traveled from Surabaya, the country’s second largest city.

“Members of parliament have communist sympathies. And at the same time they are limiting space for Islamic organisations and criminalizing ulama (scholars).”

Khairudin said he tended to believe reports on social media that President Joko Widodo was the son of communists and was not a Muslim, but did not provide any evidence of this or of a rise in communism. Widodo has denied having any communist ties.

Communism remains an emo-

tive issue in Indonesia and the protest took place on the eve of the 52nd anniversary of the murder of six army generals and a young lieutenant by rebel armed forces personnel, which prompted the retaliatory slaughter of at least 500,000 alleged communists.

The massacres ushered in more than 30 years of authoritarian rule under Suharto, the former general who led the communist purge. Indonesia’s Communist Party (PKI), once one of the world’s largest, remains outlawed, however, and there appears to be little evidence of a Marxist ideology taking hold in Indonesia. Just 12 percent of respondents to a September survey of 1,220 Indonesians believed the party was making a comeback now.

Analysts and government advisers said the fomenting of a “red

scare” was aimed at Indonesia’s reformist president Widodo, who has previously been falsely accused of being the descendant of communists.

“We support parliament in ridding itself of PKI,” Slamet Maarif, one of the rally organisers told the crowd, accusing the government of oppressive measures and of creating a gulf between the state and Islam with a decree banning some organisations.

Friday’s rally has been organized by hardline Islamist groups, such as the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI).

The FPI led huge rallies last year that successfully demanded the jailing for blasphemy of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, an ethnic Chinese Christian who was Jakarta’s governor at the time. (rtr)

In the meantime, another resident, Ni Wayan Rapet, 80, revealed that when the occurrence of the rain of ash, sand and stones, she had not evacuated. The eruption continued the next days. She just evacuated after the hot lava came out of Mount Agung. “When the roar was accompanied by hot lava seen melting, I just evacuated.

Before that, I stayed at home. I evacuated to Menanga village on

foot and it lasted for almost two months,” she said.

In another occasion, Jro Mangku Puji said that when Mount Agung erupted he was still doing activities.

The residents having cattle at that time should immediately take theirs to the evacuation site at Menanga village. The cattle were taken to the evacuation site on foot. “I evacuated at night and brought torchlight for lighting along the way. At that time, not all the goods and clothes were brought unlike today. We just brought some kitchen utensils, trays and some clothes,” recalled Mangku Puji. (nan)

Taman Mumbul as Spiritual Tourist Attraction in Badung MANGUPURA - Realizing Taman Mumbul as a spiritual tourist destination in Badung is a very smart idea. In addition to keeping the village asset, it can also bring in economic benefits for local community. Just imagine, every day there are always guests coming to make a visit. Moreover, they also come on auspicious days, like Kliwon, full moon, new moon and Banyupinaruh.

Taman Mumbul is a sacred place sanctified by the Sangeh and surrounding communities. It has a big pond like a lake with clear water.

The water sources from 11 major springs and dozens of small springs around the lake. Aside from being functioned as source of clean water for people’s daily life, the lake water is also used to irrigate paddy fields of Subak Sangeh spreading across the area of 200 hectares.

Chief of Sangeh customary village, Ida Bagus Dipayana, said that Taman Mumbul can be divided into three areas, namely the innermost, middle and outermost courtyard.

The innermost courtyard hosts several temples such as the Ulunsuwi, Taman Beji, Segara Kelebutan, Ratu Gede, Taman Mumbul, Ratu Niang and Bebaturan to worship wong samar (supernatural beings). “All the temples have their own function, but in essence they are functioned to maintain the nature and safety of Sangeh people,” he said.

Ulunsuwi Temple is located in the northern most venerated by members of Subak Sangeh. On particular days, subak members perform a ceremony as an expression of gratitude to God for the graces bestowed. In the southern part sits the Taman Beji Temple

with three fountains as destination of melasti (physical and psychical purification) procession. Remaining in the region, there is Segara Kelebutan Temple in the form of three-tiered meru shrine located in the middle of the pond.

In the south of the pond precisely under a banyan tree sits the representative temple of Taman Ayun.

This temple was established when making the pond that was never finished. Its levees were always broken. Seeing this condition, the royal figure of Mengwi was invited to come. After that, the levees of the lake became very strong, so that it was then made a shrine to worship the deities of Taman Ayun.

Meanwhile, the Ratu Gede Temple is used to venerate the guardian in the psychical ream of the pond.

The middle courtyard of the Taman Mumbul Temple is located in the east of the area. This temple is venerated by the Brahmana hamlet. There is also a Pengelukatan Temple marked by eleven fountains. Here, the residents do self-purificatory rite (melukat) physically and psychically accompanied by the presentation of the offerings. Sangeh community

believes that Ratu Niang abides at this temple.

Then, the southernmost shrine is bebaturan (menhir) used to worship wong samar (supernatural beings).

“Therefore, we always urge visitors to always prioritize ethics as the region the Taman Mumbul area is rich in objects and sacred places,” he said. This arrangement, explained I.B. Dipa, is meant to make the place attractive and comfortable to be visited. The arrangement workmanship started in 2016. Thankfully, it can be operated in late 2016. Arrangement of the area was funded by assistance of Badung government and village treasury. “The assistance of Badung government is worth IDR 4 billion and village treasury approximately amounted to IDR 500 million,” he said.

In the meantime, the outermost courtyard located at southernmost area (after the Pengelukatan Temple) will be made into water attraction equipped with a pool of children and adult. Various types of water tourist attractions will be created as children playground.

“Hopefully, the water attraction could be realized in 2018,” he hoped. (kmb)

Djokovic will benefit from long break, says new physio NOVAK Djokovic is recovering from a “significant” elbow injury and is keen to get back on the tour again, the 12-times grand slam champion’s new physiotherapist Ulises Badio has said.

A prolonged dip in form before the injury earlier this year forced Djokovic to curtail his season after retiring against Czech Tomas Berdych in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon in July.

The former number one, who retained Andre Agassi as his head coach, added Argentine Badio and Italian fitness coach Marco Panichi to his team and is expected to return early next year.

“Novak had a significant injury and we are bringing it under control,” Badio told Argentine daily La Nacion, adding that the Serb’s decision to take time off had helped.

“Time was required to improve it. The decision he took allowed us to have a time table and not go back and forth about treatment. He has a lot of eagerness to return,” Badio added.

Badio, a kinesiologist (concerning body movement) and physiotherapist specialising in acupuncture and Chinese therapy, said he also looked forward to working with American Agassi.

“I read his book, which I found emotional. Now I’ve met him, and he seems a captivating person.” (rtr)

Redbull’s Max Verstappen celebrates winning the race with teammate Daniel Ricciardo.

come to being a 20-year-old. Great start to a new decade for you, well done,” team boss Christian Horner said over the radio after his driver took the chequered flag 12.7 seconds clear of Hamilton.

The victory was the second of Verstappen’s grand prix career, after a first in Spain last year, and came a day after his birthday.

“Straight away the car felt good and I saw Lewis was struggling a bit with traction... of course he has more to lose than me in the championship so I went for it in turn one,” Verstappen said of his overtake on lap four.

“And from there on, I could do my own race. The car was unbelievable. I had pace. If I needed to speed up, I speeded up,” he added.

“It’s amazing, a very tough race but incredible to win.”

Vettel, whose team mate Kimi

Raikkonen failed to start after qualifying second, was involved in a bizarre collision after the finish when the Williams of Canadian Lance Stroll ran into the back of the Ferrari.

The German’s car was badly damaged in the incident, limping along on three wheels, with Vettel then hitching a ride back to the pits on compatriot Pascal Wehrlein’s Sauber. Stewards decided to take no further action.

“I think he just didn’t look,” said Vettel, who set the fastest lap of the race, a day after he failed to complete a timed lap in qualifying due to an engine issue.

PACE ISSUES FOR MERCEDES Eighth-placed finisher Stroll said he had just been driving slowly back to the pit lane: “It’s just a very strange incident. It wasn’t intentional for either of us,” the 18-year-old added.

Hamilton now has 281 points to Vettel’s 247 with five races remaining.

“They had the upper hand on us today. I feel good, but we have some work to do with the car. We didn’t have the pace this weekend.

We have to keep pushing,” Hamilton said.

Valtteri Bottas continued to struggle and finished fifth for Mercedes, while Force India’s Mexican driver, Sergio Perez, nursing a virus, finished sixth.

“I didn’t have any pace, that was the main issue. When I was trying harder, I struggled more. We need to get our stuff together,” Bottas lamented.

McLaren’s Stoffel Vandoorne matched the best result of his career with seventh place, ahead of Stroll and Brazil’s Felipe Massa for Williams.

Esteban Ocon took the final point for Force India.

Sunday’s race was Malaysia’s last, with organisers expecting a record turnout for the grand prix since it was first hosted by the Sepang Circuit in 1999.

The next round will be held in Suzuka, Japan on Oct. 8. (rtr)

Sp rt Guardiola praises “humble and shy” match winner De Bruyne

LONDON - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was back on familiar ground on Saturday, singing the praises of Kevin De Bruyne after the Belgian midfielder scored the goal that put his club back at the top of the Premier League.

Asked after City’s 1-0 win over champions Chelsea if De Bruyne’s form was surprising him, Guardiola said: “No. He can do absolutely everything.

“With the ball, he can take up different positions and assist both short and long. Without the ball, he is the most humble and shy guy. He says: ‘If I have to run 100 kms for the team, I am going to do that’,” Guardiola told a news conference.

“It’s not easy to find that with this kind of talented player. That’s why he is one of our captains and I think he has made a step forward.”

De Bruyne continued his outstanding start to the season by rifling a left-footed shot past Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the 67th minute of the game at Stamford Bridge after a neat one-two with

Gabriel Jesus. His goal, however, told just part of the story on Saturday.

His incisive passing, movement, back-tracking, pressing, tackling and forward runs were of the highest standard in another excellent performance from one of the league’s stand-out players this season.

Guardiola, who signed De Bruyne two years ago after watching him play in the Bundesliga, publicly praised the former Chelsea player earlier this month for his quality, commitment and intelligence.

The manager said Saturday’s win was important but dismissed any suggestion that it meant that City, who lead local rivals Manchester United on goal difference, were already favourites for the title.

“Of course, it is important, winning at Stamford Bridge and winning three points that they are not able to win,” he said. “(But) it is September. Chelsea won 15 games in a row last season and were unbeatable. This season they have more problems because they have to play every three days.” (rtr)

Mourinho fears international break could halt momentum

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho fears that his side could struggle for momentum after a majority of his players left for international duty following their crushing 4-0 Premier League win over Crystal Palace on Saturday.

United handed Palace their seventh straight loss of the season with Marouane Fellaini’s brace sandwiched between Juan Mata’s opener and Romelu Lukaku’s late tap in.

Mourinho, who saw his side pick

up a fourth league win of the season by a 4-0 margin, suggested the international break could upset the team’s rhythm with the potential for injuries an additional concern.

“I don’t welcome the break, it’s bad,” Mourinho, whose side were held 2-2 at Stoke City after the last break in August, told British media on Saturday.

“We had the first break and two days after the players came back we had to play another game. It’s not a good situation for us but moaning doesn’t help. We have to wait for

them and hope there are not many problems,” the Portuguese said.

United, without long-term absentees Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcos Rojo, face a tricky trip to Liverpool when Premier League action resumes on Oct. 14, with games against Huddersfield, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea to follow.

After picking up 19 points from seven league games, United are second in the standings below neighbours Manchester City on goal difference. (rtr)

French league game abandoned after five seriously injured - security services

PARIS - At least 29 people were injured, including five seriously, when safety barriers collapsed at a French Ligue 1 game between Amiens and Lille on Saturday, local authorities and match officials said leading to the match being abandoned.

Television pictures showed dozens of Lille supporters falling on top of each other after a barrier at the Stade de la Licorne broke seconds after Lille scored in 15th minute of the local northern derby match.

Police sources said the total number of injuries were still to be determined, although a provisional count in a statement by local hospital services put the number at 29, including five seriously.

“In light of the events, and given the fact that about 20 were injured, three of them seriously, it has been decided that the game would not resume,” match delegate Noel Mannino had earlier said.

Safety at French soccer stadiums has improved drastically since 1992 when 18 people were killed after a stand collapsed at the Armand Cesari Stadium before a French Cup game between hosts Bastia and Olympique de Marseille.

Amiens president Bernard Joannin, whose stadium opened in 1999, told a news conference that there had been no signs of any problems with the bar-

rier and appeared to put the blame on hardcore ultra fans from Lille.

“There was no problem with the barrier,” Joannin said. “The police services warned us of about 200 ultras that were extremely irritable in the area reserved for the Lille supporters. They rushed in a disorderly fashion - more than 500 of them - on to this barrier which was in perfect condition.”

Local French media reported that there has been construction at the stadium, but that was limited to the roofing at the other side of where the accident happened.

Nathalie Boy de la Tour, president of the professional football league, told BFM TV that the stadium had passed safety norms.

Several Lille supporters speaking on BFM described a scene of panic and criticised the conditions of the stadium. “It was like a boat sinking,” Lille supporter Esteban said.

Lille chief executive, Marc Ingla, said on Twitter that Joannin’s comments were “irresponsible.”

“Our supporters are irreproachable and professional football demands the best organisation,” he said. He questioned the way the Lille fans had been welcomed and the security conditions. The local prosecutor said he had opened an investigation into the incident. (rtr)

ALGIERS - Algeria have dropped African Footballer of the Year Riyad Mahrez and his Leicester City team mate Islam Slimani from the squad for next weekend’s World Cup qualifier against Cameroon.

The pair are major victims of a clear out of the squad announced on Sunday after Algeria suffered home and away defeats against Zambia in their last qualifiers to end their

hopes of reaching next year’s finals in Russia.

Algeria reached the second round of the last World Cup in Brazil. Midfielder Nabil Bentaleb was also dropped, while Carl defensive midfielder Carl Medjani was not considered after announcing his retirement from international football.

Coach Lucas Alcaraz, who has been given the last two qualifiers

against Cameroon on Saturday and Nigeria next month, to save his job, has named four new players, including French-born winger Mohamed Fares from Serie A club Verona.

Algeria are bottom of Group B in African qualifying on one point from four matches, behind Nigeria (10), Zambia (seven) and Cameroon (three). Only the group winners will advance to Russia. (rtr)

Sp rt Guardiola praises “humble and shy” match winner De Bruyne

LONDON - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was back on familiar ground on Saturday, singing the praises of Kevin De Bruyne after the Belgian midfielder scored the goal that put his club back at the top of the Premier League.

Asked after City’s 1-0 win over champions Chelsea if De Bruyne’s form was surprising him, Guardiola said: “No. He can do absolutely everything.

“With the ball, he can take up different positions and assist both short and long. Without the ball, he is the most humble and shy guy. He says: ‘If I have to run 100 kms for the team, I am going to do that’,” Guardiola told a news conference.

“It’s not easy to find that with this kind of talented player. That’s why he is one of our captains and I think he has made a step forward.”

De Bruyne continued his outstanding start to the season by rifling a left-footed shot past Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the 67th minute of the game at Stamford Bridge after a neat one-two with

Gabriel Jesus. His goal, however, told just part of the story on Saturday.

His incisive passing, movement, back-tracking, pressing, tackling and forward runs were of the highest standard in another excellent performance from one of the league’s stand-out players this season.

Guardiola, who signed De Bruyne two years ago after watching him play in the Bundesliga, publicly praised the former Chelsea player earlier this month for his quality, commitment and intelligence.

The manager said Saturday’s win was important but dismissed any suggestion that it meant that City, who lead local rivals Manchester United on goal difference, were already favourites for the title.

Taman Mumbul as Spiritual Tourist Attraction in Badung MANGUPURA - Realizing Taman Mumbul as a spiritual tourist destination in Badung is a very smart idea. In addition to keeping the village asset, it can also bring in economic benefits for local community. Just imagine, every day there are always guests coming to make a visit. Moreover, they also come on auspicious days, like Kliwon, full moon, new moon and Banyupinaruh.

Taman Mumbul is a sacred place sanctified by the Sangeh and surrounding communities. It has a big pond like a lake with clear water.

The water sources from 11 major springs and dozens of small springs around the lake. Aside from being functioned as source of clean water for people’s daily life, the lake water is also used to irrigate paddy fields of Subak Sangeh spreading across the area of 200 hectares.

Chief of Sangeh customary village, Ida Bagus Dipayana, said that Taman Mumbul can be divided into three areas, namely the innermost, middle and outermost courtyard.

The innermost courtyard hosts several temples such as the Ulunsuwi, Taman Beji, Segara Kelebutan, Ratu Gede, Taman Mumbul, Ratu Niang and Bebaturan to worship wong samar (supernatural beings). “All the temples have their own function, but in essence they are functioned to maintain the nature and safety of Sangeh people,” he said.

Ulunsuwi Temple is located in the northern most venerated by members of Subak Sangeh. On particular days, subak members perform a ceremony as an expression of gratitude to God for the graces bestowed. In the southern part sits the Taman Beji Temple

with three fountains as destination of melasti (physical and psychical purification) procession. Remaining in the region, there is Segara Kelebutan Temple in the form of three-tiered meru shrine located in the middle of the pond.

In the south of the pond precisely under a banyan tree sits the representative temple of Taman Ayun.

This temple was established when making the pond that was never finished. Its levees were always broken. Seeing this condition, the royal figure of Mengwi was invited to come. After that, the levees of the lake became very strong, so that it was then made a shrine to worship the deities of Taman Ayun.

Meanwhile, the Ratu Gede Temple is used to venerate the guardian in the psychical ream of the pond.

The middle courtyard of the Taman Mumbul Temple is located in the east of the area. This temple is venerated by the Brahmana hamlet. There is also a Pengelukatan Temple marked by eleven fountains. Here, the residents do self-purificatory rite (melukat) physically and psychically accompanied by the presentation of the offerings. Sangeh community

believes that Ratu Niang abides at this temple.

Then, the southernmost shrine is bebaturan (menhir) used to worship wong samar (supernatural beings).

“Therefore, we always urge visitors to always prioritize ethics as the region the Taman Mumbul area is rich in objects and sacred places,” he said. This arrangement, explained I.B. Dipa, is meant to make the place attractive and comfortable to be visited. The arrangement workmanship started in 2016. Thankfully, it can be operated in late 2016. Arrangement of the area was funded by assistance of Badung government and village treasury. “The assistance of Badung government is worth IDR 4 billion and village treasury approximately amounted to IDR 500 million,” he said.

In the meantime, the outermost courtyard located at southernmost area (after the Pengelukatan Temple) will be made into water attraction equipped with a pool of children and adult. Various types of water tourist attractions will be created as children playground.

“Hopefully, the water attraction could be realized in 2018,” he hoped. (kmb)

Djokovic will benefit from long break, says new physio NOVAK Djokovic is recovering from a “significant” elbow injury and is keen to get back on the tour again, the 12-times grand slam champion’s new physiotherapist Ulises Badio has said.

A prolonged dip in form before the injury earlier this year forced Djokovic to curtail his season after retiring against Czech Tomas Berdych in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon in July.

The former number one, who retained Andre Agassi as his head coach, added Argentine Badio and Italian fitness coach Marco Panichi to his team and is expected to return early next year.

“Novak had a significant injury and we are bringing it under control,” Badio told Argentine daily La Nacion, adding that the Serb’s decision to take time off had helped.

“Time was required to improve it. The decision he took allowed us to have a time table and not go back and forth about treatment. He has a lot of eagerness to return,” Badio added.

Badio, a kinesiologist (concerning body movement) and physiotherapist specialising in acupuncture and Chinese therapy, said he also looked forward to working with American Agassi.

“I read his book, which I found emotional. Now I’ve met him, and he seems a captivating person.” (rtr)

Redbull’s Max Verstappen celebrates winning the race with teammate Daniel Ricciardo.

come to being a 20-year-old. Great start to a new decade for you, well done,” team boss Christian Horner said over the radio after his driver took the chequered flag 12.7 seconds clear of Hamilton.

The victory was the second of Verstappen’s grand prix career, after a first in Spain last year, and came a day after his birthday.

“Straight away the car felt good and I saw Lewis was struggling a bit with traction... of course he has more to lose than me in the championship so I went for it in turn one,” Verstappen said of his overtake on lap four.

“And from there on, I could do my own race. The car was unbelievable. I had pace. If I needed to speed up, I speeded up,” he added.

“It’s amazing, a very tough race but incredible to win.”

Vettel, whose team mate Kimi

Raikkonen failed to start after qualifying second, was involved in a bizarre collision after the finish when the Williams of Canadian Lance Stroll ran into the back of the Ferrari.

The German’s car was badly damaged in the incident, limping along on three wheels, with Vettel then hitching a ride back to the pits on compatriot Pascal Wehrlein’s Sauber. Stewards decided to take no further action.

“I think he just didn’t look,” said Vettel, who set the fastest lap of the race, a day after he failed to complete a timed lap in qualifying due to an engine issue.

PACE ISSUES FOR MERCEDES Eighth-placed finisher Stroll said he had just been driving slowly back to the pit lane: “It’s just a very strange incident. It wasn’t intentional for either of us,” the 18-year-old added.

Hamilton now has 281 points to Vettel’s 247 with five races remaining.

“They had the upper hand on us today. I feel good, but we have some work to do with the car. We didn’t have the pace this weekend.

We have to keep pushing,” Hamilton said.

Valtteri Bottas continued to struggle and finished fifth for Mercedes, while Force India’s Mexican driver, Sergio Perez, nursing a virus, finished sixth.

“I didn’t have any pace, that was the main issue. When I was trying harder, I struggled more. We need to get our stuff together,” Bottas lamented.

McLaren’s Stoffel Vandoorne matched the best result of his career with seventh place, ahead of Stroll and Brazil’s Felipe Massa for Williams.

Esteban Ocon took the final point for Force India.

Sunday’s race was Malaysia’s last, with organisers expecting a record turnout for the grand prix since it was first hosted by the Sepang Circuit in 1999.

The next round will be held in Suzuka, Japan on Oct. 8. (rtr)

Scuffles break out as Spanish Civil Guard officers force their way through a crowd and into a polling station for the banned independence referendum where Catalan President Carles Puigdemont was supposed to vote in Sant Julia de Ramis, Spain October 1, 2017.

Spanish police storm polling station in Catalonia independence vote

BARCELONA - Spanish riot police smashed their way into a polling station in Catalonia on Sunday as they sought to shut down a banned independence referendum and there were reports of officers firing rubber bullets in the regional capital Barcelona.

Catalan emergency services said 38 people were hurt, mostly with minor injuries, as a result of police action.

Police burst into the polling station in a town in Girona province minutes before Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont was due to vote there. They smashed glass panels to force open the door as voters, fists in the air, sang the Catalan anthem.

Police also fired rubber bullets in central Barcelona, El Periodico newspaper reported, at the intersection of two streets as violence erupted during the vote which has thrown Spain into its worst constitutional crisis for decades.

Officers with riot shields jostled with hundreds of voters outside one station at a school in Barcelona as the crowd chanted “We are people of peace!” Armoured vans and an ambulance were parked nearby.

The referendum has been declared illegal by Spain’s central government in Madrid, which says the constitution states the country is indivisible and has drafted in thousands of police from around Spain into Catalonia

to prevent the vote.

The Catalan regional government had scheduled voting to open at 9 a.m. (0700 GMT) at around 2,300 stations, but Madrid said on Saturday it had shut more than half of them.

Voting started at some sites in the region of 7.5 million people, which has its own language and culture and is an industrial hub with an economy larger than that of Portugal. Leader Puigdemont changed plans and voted at a different station after the police action, the regional government said.

People had occupied some stations with the aim of preventing police from locking them down. Organisers smuggled in ballot boxes before dawn and urged voters to use passive resistance against police.

In a school used as a polling station in Barcelona, police in riot gear carried out ballot boxes while wouldbe voters chanted “out with the occupying forces!” and “we will vote!”.

The Catalan government said voters could print out ballot papers at home and lodge them at any polling station not closed down by police.

“I have got up early because my country needs me,” said Eulalia Espinal, 65, a pensioner who started queuing with around 100 others outside one polling station, a Barcelona school, in rain at about 5 a.m.

“We don’t know what’s going to happen but we have to be here,” she said. (rtr)

Germany’s first same-sex “I do”’s as marriage equality dawns BERLIN - Same-sex couples will marry in Germany for the first time on Sunday, when some civil registry offices will open specially to celebrate the coming into force of a marriage law that parliament passed in June.

Around a dozen same-sex couples are expected to marry in Berlin on Sunday, with a similar number due in Hamburg, gay rights organisations said, taking advantage of the decision of some registries to open on a day when they are normally closed.

Among them are Karl Kreile, 59, and Bodo Mende, 60, who will at 9.30 local time (0730 GMT) become Germany’s first married gay couple when they say “yes” in the town hall of the Berlin borough of Schoeneberg after 38 years together.

“We have finally achieved legal equality,” Mende told a news conference on Friday. “It’s been 25 years’ of hard struggle to secure this.”

Germany’s parliament approved marriage equality in June after Chancellor Angela Merkel chose to make the vote a matter of conscience, freeing many of her Social Democrat coalition partners and many of her

conservative lawmakers to vote for it.

Rights organisations say more needs to be done to achieve full equality. It is still impossible for children born into a lesbian couple to have both parents as a legal mother.

Kreile and Mende, who registered their civil partnership 15 years ago, shortly after it became legal to do so in Germany, first tried to marry a quarter of a century ago.

“I remember how it felt when we went to the registry office in Berlin Charlottenburg to request marriage,” said Kreile, describing a publicityraising campaign he and his partner had participated in.

“The official was nice, and so were the couples before and after us in the line, telling us: ‘We understand what you want.’ But afterwards I still had to feel a sense of shame. I felt discriminated against, being sent out again,” he added.

Some technical problems remain.

The government’s registry software recognises only opposite-sex marriages and will only be updated next year. Until then, even same-sex couples will be recorded as “husband” and “wife”. (rtr)

Thousands of Indonesians hold anti-communist protest in capital

JAKARTA - Several thousand protesters led by hardline Islamist groups held a rally on Friday outside Indonesia’s parliament to protest against what they called a growing threat from communism in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country.

Rows of police stood behind barbed wire with water cannons at the ready, but the rally was peaceful and the number of protesters far smaller than the estimated tens of

thousands expected by organisers and police.

Some protesters prayed and unfurled banners rejecting communism and also a government decree

targeting large organisations that was used to disband the Islamist group, Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia.

“The country is giving space to communists and their activities,” said one protester, Mohamad Khairudin, 42, who had traveled from Surabaya, the country’s second largest city.

“Members of parliament have communist sympathies. And at the same time they are limiting space for Islamic organisations and criminalizing ulama (scholars).”

Khairudin said he tended to believe reports on social media that President Joko Widodo was the son of communists and was not a Muslim, but did not provide any evidence of this or of a rise in communism. Widodo has denied having any communist ties.

Communism remains an emo-

tive issue in Indonesia and the protest took place on the eve of the 52nd anniversary of the murder of six army generals and a young lieutenant by rebel armed forces personnel, which prompted the retaliatory slaughter of at least 500,000 alleged communists.

The massacres ushered in more than 30 years of authoritarian rule under Suharto, the former general who led the communist purge. Indonesia’s Communist Party (PKI), once one of the world’s largest, remains outlawed, however, and there appears to be little evidence of a Marxist ideology taking hold in Indonesia. Just 12 percent of respondents to a September survey of 1,220 Indonesians believed the party was making a comeback now.

Analysts and government advisers said the fomenting of a “red

scare” was aimed at Indonesia’s reformist president Widodo, who has previously been falsely accused of being the descendant of communists.

“We support parliament in ridding itself of PKI,” Slamet Maarif, one of the rally organisers told the crowd, accusing the government of oppressive measures and of creating a gulf between the state and Islam with a decree banning some organisations.

Friday’s rally has been organized by hardline Islamist groups, such as the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI).

The FPI led huge rallies last year that successfully demanded the jailing for blasphemy of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, an ethnic Chinese Christian who was Jakarta’s governor at the time. (rtr)

In the meantime, another resident, Ni Wayan Rapet, 80, revealed that when the occurrence of the rain of ash, sand and stones, she had not evacuated. The eruption continued the next days. She just evacuated after the hot lava came out of Mount Agung. “When the roar was accompanied by hot lava seen melting, I just evacuated.

Before that, I stayed at home. I evacuated to Menanga village on

foot and it lasted for almost two months,” she said.

In another occasion, Jro Mangku Puji said that when Mount Agung erupted he was still doing activities.

The residents having cattle at that time should immediately take theirs to the evacuation site at Menanga village. The cattle were taken to the evacuation site on foot. “I evacuated at night and brought torchlight for lighting along the way. At that time, not all the goods and clothes were brought unlike today. We just brought some kitchen utensils, trays and some clothes,” recalled Mangku Puji. (nan)

The official Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) released on Saturday rose to 52.4 in September, from 51.7 in August and well above the 50-point mark that separates growth from contraction on a monthly basis.

It marked the 14th straight month of expansion for China’s massive manufacturing industry and the highest reading since April 2012.

Analysts surveyed by Reuters had forecast the reading would ease slightly. The data comes ahead of the Communist Party Congress in mid-October, a once-every-five-years meeting where new leaders are appointed and the government’s key political and economic initiatives are laid out, though details are usually not announced until much later.

China’s manufacturers are reporting their best profits in years, fuelled by governmentled infrastructure spending, a strong housing market, higher factory-gate prices and a recovery in exports. “Over the short term, we believe the resilient demand growth and disciplined balance sheet expansion ... will point to further improvement in manufacturing profitability and investment returns,” analysts at China International Capital Corporation said in a note after the data.

But cost pressures from high raw materials prices and continued underperformance of smaller firms mean some manufacturers are still struggling. “Mid- and downstream industries are worried about a further increase in cost pressures,” National Bureau of Statistics official Zhao Qinghe wrote in comments published with the data.

INPUT PRICES CLIMB The latest survey showed input prices continued to rise at a solid clip, with the reading at 68.4 compared with 65.3 in August, benefiting upstream producers such as miners, smelters and oil refiners. Indexes for raw materials prices in the paper, wood processing and furniture, and chemical products manufacturing industries were all above 75.0, said Zhao, indicating large price increases.

China’s factories grow at fastest pace in over 5 years as prices surge

BEIJING - China’s manufacturing activity grew at the fastest pace since 2012 in September as factories cranked up output to take advantage of strong demand and high prices, easing worries of a slowdown before a key political meeting next month.

Production, total new orders and output prices all improved to the highest level in at least a year, while a pickup in a reading for the construction sector indicated a building boom is undiminished.

Wanagiri Tourist Attraction Draws Travelers

Various handicraft products produced by local craftsmen of Bangli have been able to penetrate foreign market. One of them is the mosaic pottery made by Nengah Kita, a craftsman from Kalanganyar hamlet, Yangapi, Tembuku.

Wayan Locong, the brother of Nengah Kita, having got involved in the same business all this time, said that his handicraft products include jars, candle holder, fruit plate and other wall decorations. In addition to being sold in local markets, the products are widely shipped to Europe, Spain and Argentina.

To make mosaic pottery, he purchases raw materials from outside Bangli such as pottery from Lombok, while glass is brought in from Gianyar. The process of making mosaic pottery begins from sanding the pottery until getting smooth. Further, it is painted and drawn according to the desired design. After that, the pottery is fitted with pieces of clear glass having already been colored.

Helped by 13 workers, in a day he can produce dozens of pieces.

Just like any other craft businesses, there are always obstacles faced by craftsmen. He added that in producing mosaic pottery, the constraint is the weather. If it rains continuously, the supply of pottery from Lombok is often too late. The price of mosaic pottery varies depending on the size. For a set of three stuffing jars is sold for IDR 100,000 to IDR 500,000. In the meantime, a candlestick is sold starting from IDR 20,000. (kmb)

A worker jokes and beckons at her colleague as she rolls away carts of unused tools between rows of spinning machine at a factory owned by Hong Kong’s Novetex Textiles Limited in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, China December 13, 2016. pace, pointing to lower profit margins for companies further along the supply chain who are unable to pass on all of the price increases to their customers. A separate PMI on the steel industry fell to 53.7 in September from 57.2 in August but remained in solid expansion territory, as the industry faces production restrictions aimed at reducing choking air pollution over the winter.

Analysts at China Merchants Securities said stricter production limits related to efforts to improve air quality and supply-side adjustments from capacity cuts had helped to improve the supply-demand balance, with new orders rising faster than production in September for the first time since 2012.

For the manufacturing sector overall, inventories of raw materials and finished goods continued to decline in September, providing little indication that factories were stocking up in preparation for winter production cuts.

Big firms saw the strongest improvement in September, with a large firms sub-index rising to 53.8, while one for small firms improved slightly but was still in contraction

territory at 49.4.

China’s cabinet on Wednesday said that China will take a number of measures, including tax exemptions and targeted reserve requirement ratio cuts, to encourage banks to support small businesses. The impressive performance for China’s manufacturers comes despite a government push to shutter outdated industrial capacity and clean up polluting industries, though some analysts say official claims of massive capacity cuts are misleading as overall production is still rising.

Chinese authorities are also in the midst of a campaign to reduce the risks from a rapid build-up in debt produced by years of credit-fuelled stimulus, and the continued strength of the industrial sector could give policymakers confidence to stick to the push for deleveraging.

PRIVATE SURVEY SHOWS SLOWER GROWTH A separate private survey may temper some of the enthusiasm, as it showed growth

slowed in September amid high pricing pressure and slower new order growth. The Caixin/Markit Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) fell to 51.0 in September, compared with 51.6 in August, as new export order growth slipped. So far, the regulatory clampdown has focused on the financial sector, particularly interbank and shadow banking activity, and the passthrough to the real economy appears to be limited.

But S&P last week downgraded China’s sovereign credit rating, saying the government’s deleveraging drive has progressed slower than expected, leading to higher economic and financial risks. An official survey on the services sector published Saturday rose at the fastest pace since 2014, though gains in that sector were also driven by higher input prices.

A sub-reading for the construction sector rose to 61.1 in September from 58.0 in August. The official data showed firms in both the manufacturing and services sector continued to shed workers.(rtr)

Manager of the Wanagiri Hidden Hill, I Ketut Kartika Yasa, said that this tourist attraction offers a ship-like platform extending to Lake Buyan. Buleleng society and visitors from other districts in Bali also like to visit this new destination. Moreover, there are a number of people from Java as well as foreign travelers chiming to visit the location. “On holidays,

the number of tourist visit can reach 300 people,” he said.

The tourist attraction offering mountain views and panoramic landscape is best favored these days by travelers. It becomes a cool breeze to customary village as the management for being able to generate the economy of surrounding communities. “Tourist visit is quite a lot, especially on

holidays,” he said.

To increase tourist visit, explained Kartika Yasa, this attraction still requires an arrangement, especially in the field of landscaping with ornamental flower plants.

“Our park needs to be filled to bring in beautiful impression. Other than at the location, it is also need along the way and the facilities like dust bin,” he hoped. (kmb)

Pepes Telengis, a Delicious Balinese Traditional Menu

If you are traditional foodies, try to taste the delicious pepes telengis, a traditional Balinese menu with main ingredient of telengis (remaining coconut oil deposits). It is byproduct traditionally coconut oil processing. Balinese cuisine has been popular since the past because it tastes good, nutritious and quite cheap. Although tasting just a little, it will feel very prominent, so a pack of pepes telengis is usually eaten with a plate of rice.

Pepes telengis has distinctive aromas and flavors. In the dough, it is usually combined with green leaves and herbs, such as sweet leaf and moringa leaves containing chlorophyll, calcium, vitamin

C and others. It can also be mixed with other types of vegetables, so that it feels better. If you like meat, the pepes telengis is usually mixed with pindang or salted fish. This traditional menu is very close to the life of farmers at villages. Few children and teenagers are willing to consume it. Pepes telengis will be better when eaten in warm condition.

In the past, pepes telengis can only be found in food stalls at villages. Sometimes, it is also sold in traditional markets along with porridge or cassava rice. Old people used to live in rural areas will miss enjoying this pepes wrapped in banana leaf. Fortunately, pepes

telengis can now be found in urban areas. “I often send pepes telengis to Denpasar. It happens there is an order. Thus, almost every day I make pepes telengis,” said Mrs. Tini, a farmer from Tabanan who used to make pepes telengis.

This menu is fairly healthy because it uses natural ingredient without chemicals. Coconut oil deposit as the main ingredient is the leftover of coconut oil processing, so it is taken advantage for food in the form of pepes telengis. The ingredients are telengis, sweet leaf or moringa leaf and banana leaf used to wrap it. Meanwhile, the spices are onion, garlic, chili, turmeric, ginger, shrimp paste and salt to taste.

Before making it, it may be necessary to look at the nanusin (oil making) process that can produce telengis. First of all, make coconut milk from dry or even old coconut.

Because the coconut is old, it will usually produce more oil. When making coconut milk, please begin with grating the coconut. The type of coconut for oil is different from the one for cake. Then, squeeze, so that it can produce coconut milk. On the first squeeze, do it without water, while the second use water to help.

The coconut milk is then fried. In addition to reducing water content, it is also meant to separate the clump of protein. The protein clumps will form a deposit at the bottom of pan.

This deposit is called telengis. The oil is then poured into a bottle or other container. The deposit of coconut milk is then filtered by using a cloth or a filter with a fine hole that can also collect the deposit of coconut milk, telengis.

How to prepare it? At first, ground all the spices until becoming smooth. Then, add telengis and mix well. Combine the sweet leaf or moringa leaf and then cook it until well done. Wrap it with banana leaf in tubular shape and lock each tip with bamboo stick.

After that, steam until cooked, and then bake it. Well, after generating a distinctive aroma, take out. Now, it is ready to serve. (kmb)

Dozens of refugees returned to Karangasem

GIANYAR - A total of 36 refugees at the Sutasoma Field post on Sunday (Oct. 1) returned to their home area, Karangasem. The reason, they come from villages outside the Disaster Risk Area (KRB). Some of the returned refugees admitted they were still worried about returning home. They are haunted by the earthquake due to increased activity of Mount Agung.

As delivered by Komang Arga, he along with 19 other refugees were asked to return to their home in Banjar Telaga Sibetan Village, District Bebandem, Karangasem. ‘’ It’s government’s instructions that we should returned, and we can not refuse, ‘’ he said.

Komang Arga admitted, initially took the initiative to evacuate about a week ago because of anxiety with the earthquake felt in his village. ‘’We are still afraid too because yesterday the earthquake was hard. Now me and my family and the goods must be transported back to home, ‘’ he said.

While other residents, Hairu Saleh along with eleven members of his family also returned to their village of Kecicang Islam, District Bebandem. ‘’ Yesterday we were displaced by panic, after the status rose to alert.

Yes hopefully this disaster does not happen, ‘’ he hoped.

Seto Mulyadi (C) meets children in GOR Swecapura refugee camp yesterday (Oct.1)

SEMARAPURA - The number of Gunung Agung refugees in Klungkung Regency has reached tens of thousands. Of that number, recorded thousands of people still aged under five and children. In the face of a difficult life, the psychology of the nation’s next generation must be taken seriously. This was confirmed by the Chairman of the Indonesian Institute of Child Protection (LPAI) Seto Mulyadi during a visit to GOR Swecapura on Sunday (Oct. 1).

The man who is familiarly called

Kak Seto said the environment of children in the refugee has differences with his birthplace. It has the potential to have an impact on psychology. Children can fight or rebel or keep quiet. Anticipating that, some steps need to be taken to make them calm and happy.

Realizing that, the role of parents is necessary. When facing the child, they must be calm and show peace. Parents should be the spearhead and able to become a replacement psychology. “In addition to children, we also optimize the role

of parents, parents must be equal with the children,” he said.

In addition, in the evacuation environment, it is also necessary to have mutual reminders and give attention to each other. All must be able to bring a positive atmosphere.

“If in the banjar, can form a task force. This can be reminiscent of other communities as well,” he added.

According to data, the number of Karangasem children who took refuge to Klungkung reached 4,812 inhabitants. (kmb45)

Vanuatu ordered the full evacuation of the island after the nation’s largest volcano, known as Manaro Voui, began emitting volcanic gas last weekend.

Vanuatu has maintained its danger rating at threat level four, the second highest, as a flotilla of ships including ferries and commercial vessels has begun moving the population to the nearby islands of Maewo, Pentecost and Santo.

More than 6,000 people have already gone to emergency shelters on the South Pacific island.

The Australian amphibious landing ship HMAS Choules left for Vanuatu on Saturday morning with specialists and supplies, the government said in a statement.

Vanuatu called for international help through the FRANZ partnership, which groups France, Australia and New Zealand, and aims to evacuate the island by Oct. 6.

The volcano is crowned by crater lakes which make it more dangerous, said vulcanologist Christopher Firth of

Australia’s Macquarie University.

One of the lakes is directly above the eruption, increasing its explosive potential and posing the threat of a deadly lahar: a boiling mud flow down the side of the mountain, Firth said.

Australia has committed A$250,000 ($196,000) for supplies including food, water, shelter and hygiene kits, and will assist in aerial surveillance, the statement said.

New Zealand has also given aid including water, sanitation and hygiene kits and has made NZ$100,000 ($72,000) available for the response, Foreign Affairs Minister Gerry Brownlee said on Saturday.

Vanuatu, a sprawling cluster of more than 80 islands and 260,000 people, is on the geologically active Pacific Ring of Fire and its Tana island active volcano is a major tourist attraction.

Ambrym island, in the centre of the Vanuatu archipelago is also erupting from two active cones and is rated at a threat level three, a minor eruption. (rtr)

Trump lays blame on Puerto Ricans for slow hurricane response

SAN JUAN - U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday placed blame squarely on Puerto Ricans for the slow recovery from Hurricane Maria after critics and the mayor of San Juan complained his administration’s response to the U.S. territory’s plight was insufficient.

Eleven days after the devastat-

ing storm wiped out power, water and communications systems, about half of the 3.4 million people on the island do not have access to drinking water, and 95 percent remain without power, according to the U.S. Defense Department.

“I’m a ticking time bomb on the verge of exploding,” said Adeline Vazquez, 53, who needs a ventila-

tor for respiratory problems and whose building in the western city of Mayaguez does not have enough fuel to run a generator 24 hours a day.

Maria, the most powerful storm to strike Puerto Rico in nearly 90 years, has destroyed roads, making it difficult to deliver aid and move the heavy equipment needed to fix damaged infrastructure across the island. The hurricane has killed at least 16 people, according to the official death toll.

Trump, who plans to visit the island on Tuesday, fired off a series of angry tweets from his private golf club in New Jersey, taking aim at the mayor of San Juan, the island’s capital and largest city.

On Friday, Carmen Yulin Cruz criticized Trump’s administration and begged for more help, a plea that received widespread television coverage in the mainland United States.

“Such poor leadership by the Mayor of San Juan and others in Puerto Rico who are not able to get their workers to help,” said Trump, a Republican. “They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort.”

Trump - who often turns to Twitter to strike out when his government is under pressure - accused Cruz of being “told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump” and blamed the media for not showing the “amazing job” of responders.

Cruz, who has been living in a shelter after her home was destroyed in the hurricane, said municipal employees were working as hard as they could. She also said her complaints had resulted in more food and water being provided.

Cruz responded to Trump’s attack by saying she had no time for petty politics when lives were at stake.

“Sometimes you have to shake the tree in order to make things happen,” she told the New York Times. “And if that has a political cost, I will take it, as long as it saves lives.”

The heated rhetoric took the political tensions around the disaster to new heights, but Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello tried to distance himself from the battle ahead of Trump’s visit.

In an interview with Reuters on Saturday, Rossello said: “I’m not paying attention to social media,”

adding “my only focus right now is to make sure the people of Puerto Rico are well.”

When pressed, Rossello said he did not interpret Trump’s tweets as a slight to Puerto Rico’s people.

“When I read that tweet, it was in reference to the mayor of San Juan, not to the people of Puerto Rico,” said Rossello, who has made a point of working cooperatively with Trump’s administration on aid for the island.

“I saw it as a personal difference with the mayor of San Juan,” he said.

Rossello and Cruz are members of rival political parties. But Trump’s comments drew swift condemnation elsewhere, particularly from U.S. Democrats.

“The definition of ‘poor leadership’ is sitting at your golf club while millions of U.S. citizens beg for your help,” U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts, said on Twitter.

Later in the day, Trump tempered his tweeted barbs. “We must all be united in offering assistance to everyone suffering in Puerto Rico and elsewhere in the wake of this terrible disaster,” he said. (rtr)

Concerned with situation of Mount Agung

Panji villagers hold a joint prayer

SINGARAJA — A number of children, youths and residents of Panji village, Sukasada, held a joint prayer at the local village square on Saturday night (Sep. 30). This action was deliberately held as a form of sympathy for the condition of Mount Agung currently bearing a warning status. If Mount Agung erupts, people will also pray so that the disaster will not claim many victims.

The prayer was led by headman of Panji, Nyoman Sutama, together with village and customary youth club apparatus.

While praying, children, young men and adults dressed in traditional attires lit candles. Not surprisingly, the field area

became full of candle flames and attracted many residents.

Headman of Panji, Nyoman Sutama, said that the joint prayer was initiated by village officials with local youth since the arrival of refugees from Karangasem to Buleleng, including Panji village. A total of 18 family heads or 50 refugees from Karangasem are now evacuating at people’s homes spreading across all hamlets at Panji village.

Since receiving the refugees, the village government and he personally have delivered assistance in the form of rice to ease the burden of refugees. “Having discussed with village and youth club apparatus, we established a team of village refugee management. It decided to hold this mass prayer as a form of concern and prostration to God so that

Protect ourselves from volcanic ashes by mask

DENPASAR — If the eruption will occur, residents are expected to anticipate the health problems by protecting themselves. One of the materials coming out of the mountain is volcanic ash. In addition to affecting the breathing, volcanic ashes also affect the eyes in the form of red eyes, eye irritation to conjunctivitis. This was conveyed by a lung specialist of Siloam Hospital Bali, Erwin Winaya, on Friday (Sep. 9).

Volcanic ashes are of various sizes. So, the impact on the breathing also depends on the particles inhaled. The size starting from10 to 100 micron will be deposited in the nose and throat. Then, lower size of 4-10 micron will be deposited in trachea and bronchi, while the size smaller than 4 micron will be deposited on the alveoli.

the situation of Mount Agung will not endanger the people in Karangasem,” he said.

In the meantime, hamlet chief of Kelod Kauh, Panji village, Marsa Jaya, said that this joint prayer is a part of the movement of the refugee management team established at local village. Before this joint prayer, he already carried out fundraising action, and the money having been collected was then distributed to refugees. In addition, other forms of assistance have also been distributed to help alleviate the needs of refugees at their villages.

“We pray for the safety of people in Karangasem and Mount Agung would not endanger humanity. We have distributed the assistance both in the form of material and money to refugees at our village,” he added. (kmb38)

The effects can be irritation in nose, irritation in throat, irritation in trachea, bronchitis to alveolitis. Symptoms are ranging from colds, swallowing pain, coughing up to shortness of breath. “However, the hazardous volcanic ash content is in the form of large particles such as silica and carbon as residue of burning,” he said.

Other than volcanic ash, the harmful substances to respiration are carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid. Therefore, it is important to protect ourselves as early as possible from volcanic ashes and eruptions.

He said that to protect ourselves from volcanic ashes is IBP/file by avoiding contact with volcanic ashes, staying at home Volcanic ashes are of various sizes. So, the impact or using closed clothes, mask and dust-proof glasses when on the breathing also depends on the particles going out of the house. (kmb42) inhaled.

Number of refugees starts stagnant

SEMARAPURA - The number of refugee in Klungkung district has been relatively stagnant since two days ago. Daily arrivals like the previous days no longer happened. Nevertheless, the data collection is done continuously so as to be more accurate.

According to information collected until Saturday afternoon (Sep. 30), the number of refugees in Klungkung remained in the range of 24,000 people spreading across 118 points. According to Chief Executive of BPBD Klungkung, I Putu Widiada, the number has tended to stagnate since two days ago. The influx of refugees with different ages is no longer the same as before. “The number of refugees has begun to stagnate,” he said.

Information on the presence of continuation refugees has no longer been obtained from the government

of Karangasem. If that happens, they will remain accepted and accommodated at he places available. “For example, if there are refugees coming again, we still receive,” he said.

In addition to thinking about the residents of Karangasem, district government is also preparing a refuge for Klungkung residents living on the banks of Unda River to face in case the Mount Agung erupts. “This has been coordinated with the village and subdistrict government where the places can still be used,” said Widiada.

According to data collection, the area around the Unda River has the potential to be affected by cold lava reaching 13 villages, with a total population of about 52,000 people. “Those that have should be evacuated in case of eruption have not been ascertained. Obviously, the whole villages are included in the mapping,” he said. (kmb45)

DENPASAR - Balinese Hindus believe that Mount Agung is the palace of deities and abode of Lord Shiva. On that account, the Hindus in Bali make Mount Agung currently declared in warning status a sanctified place. Moreover, under the foot of Mount Agung sits the Besakih Temple denoting the largest Sad Kahyangan temple in Indonesia and the mother temple of Bali.

Chairman of the Hindu Dharma Council of Indonesia (PHDI) Bali, Prof. Dr. IGN Sudiana, said that other than becoming the residence of gods and ancestors, Mount Agung is also a source of life and awakening of the Hindus in Bali.

Mount Agung is also the upstream symbolizing the sanctity of Bali.

Thus, the purity of Mount Agung area should always be maintained both in the physical (sekala) and psychical (niskala) realm.

“Philosophically, Mount Agung symbolizes linggacala (unmoved phallus) and denotes the abode of Sang Hyang Pasupati or Sang Hyang Girinata. On that account, Balinese Hindus as well as travelers in the area of Mount Agung must always think and speak positively and act politely,” said Prof. Sudiana.

In addition, Mount Agung is also a radius giving the effect of balance for the universe. In Adi Parwa, he said, the rotation of Mount Agung can bring out Tirta Amertha or holy water for life. Thus, in Hinduism a mountain symbolizes a place that affords life and prosperity to all living beings around it. Therefore, the preservation of Mount Agung should not be disrupted, neither the trees nor the materials around Mount Agung.

“The center of holiness in Bali is in Mount Agung. If harassed, it will be wrathful and cause havoc.

On that account, thinking of badness in the area of Mount Agung is not allowed, let alone do immoral behavior,” he said.

Sudiana asserted that Mount Agung posing the abode of the gods can also be symbolized in this life.

Just as in the sanctum (temple), mount is symbolized as meru (multi-tiered shrine), in the means of upakara (offerings), tumpeng (rice cone) as the symbol of mountain, while in the human body, the heart symbolizes the mountain.

Thus, sanctity of the temple must be properly maintained, although tourists go to Mount Agung and Besakih Temple. “Do not ignore the temple sanctity just because we need money but imposes a bad effect on our life together,” he said.

Responding to the increase in the status of Mount Agung into warning, his organization with the devotees already carried out peneduh jagat (pacification) ritual activities on September 20. The ritual means to appeal to God Almighty in order to control the activities of Mount Agung so as to return to normal as well as save the earth and all its contents.

The ritual also means to convey the apology (guru piduka) for the mistakes of the community, not only those living around Mount Agung, but also the whole community of Bali and Indonesia in general. In addition, he said that people and the whole customary villages in Bali have also done the same thing in the temple or their respective shrines so that the Mount Agung will be back to normal.

O.J. Simpson freed on parole - AP, citing Nevada prison official NEVADA - Onetime “Trial of the Century” defendant O.J. Simpson was released early on Sunday from the Nevada prison where he had been held since 2008 for a botched armed robbery at a Las Vegas casino hotel, the Associated Press reported.

The AP cited a Nevada prison official as having confirmed Simpson’s release. No details on Simpson’s whereabouts or destination were reported, and authorities could not be reached to verify the report.

Simpson, 70, won his freedom from a Nevada parole board in July after nine years behind bars, at a hearing that did not take into account his 1990s trial for the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and a friend, Ron Goldman.

He reportedly left prison shortly after midnight local time.

Simpson, a former pro football star turned actor and TV pitchman, was found not guilty in 1995 following his sensational, 13-month trial in Los Angeles, which was televised live daily, transfixing much of the country.

A civil court jury subsequently found him liable for the deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in damages to the victims’ families, a judgment that remains largely

unpaid.

Simpson’s ultimate destination remains unclear. He told parole board members he hopes to move to Florida, where he has friends and family, a plan that must be approved by probation authorities there.

Florida corrections officials say they had not received a parole transfer request for Simpson and had not been contacted by their counterparts in Nevada.

Simpson is a native of California, born in San Francisco, and played his final years as a pro football player for that city’s team, the 49ers. He lived in Los Angeles at the time of the murders.

But California corrections officials say he has not filed papers to live in that state either.

At his parole hearing, Simpson, known during his football career as the “Juice”, said he was ready to spend time with his children and friends outside prison and could handle the public attention he would get.

Among reasons the commissioners gave for their decision was that Simpson had complied with prison rules during his incarceration, had no prior criminal convictions and posed a minimal safety risk to the public. (rtr)

Beyonce remixes Latin hit ‘Mi Gente’ to aid disaster relief efforts Beyonce

LOS ANGELES - Beyonce has released a new single and video to help with relief efforts following the recent natural disasters in the Caribbean and Mexico.

“Mi Gente (My People),” a remix of the Latin hit by J. Balvin and Willy William, marks the R&B singer’s first new music since giving birth to twins in June.

“I am donating my proceeds from this song to hurricane relief charities for Puerto Rico, Mexico and the other affected Caribbean islands,” Beyonce said on her Instagram page on Thursday.

“We’re heartbroken by the hurricanes and earthquakes that have devastated families around the world. There are many ways to help,” she added in a message on her official website, where she

directed followers to a number of disaster relief organizations.

Hurricane Maria, the most powerful storm to hit Puerto Rico in nearly 90 years, has killed at least 16 people on the island and more than 30 across the Caribbean. In Puerto Rico, most of the island’s 3.4 million residents have been 10 days without power and residents have complained about the slowness of official U.S. recovery efforts.

The original Spanish-language “Mi Gente,” released in June, has been a No. 1 hit in much of South America and in many European

nations, and has been viewed 893 million times on YouTube.

The remix by Beyonce, featuring home videos of ordinary people dancing, is expected to push sales higher and by Friday had already been viewed more than 1.8 million times.Beyonce also lent her support to relief efforts in her home town of Houston, Texas, sending a taped message to a charity telethon earlier in September that raised more than $44 million for the victims of hurricanes Harvey and Irma.

“Natural disasters don’t discriminate. They don’t see if you’re an immigrant, black or white, Hispanic or Asian, Jewish or Muslim, wealthy or poor ... we’re all in this together,” she said at the time. (rtr)

History of Mount Agung eruption in 1963

Eruption occurred when Eka Dasa Rudra was going on at Besakih

MOUNT Agung last erupted in 1963. At that time, many people experienced the impacts of Mount Agung eruption. Now, they are faced again with similar situation and the villages within disaster-prone areas III, II and I have evacuated. However, currently the Mount Agung remains in warning status and is waiting for eruption. At that time, the residents becoming the eruption victims of the highest mountain in Bali reached hundreds of people. Besides, Besakih Temple was still organizing Eka Dasa Rudra or centennial ritual.

Live witness of the Mount Agung eruption in 1963, Jro Mangku Sueca, 75, said that at that time Besakih residents were still doing activities as usual when the mountain erupted.

He said that at that time there was no sophisticated device as we see today.

Today, prior to the eruption, people have been instructed to evacuate in

order to anticipate the occurrence of casualties. “At that time, people are not as panicky as they are now because there were no sophisticated devices as used today, so they did not know if Mount Agung would erupt,” he said.

This priest of Penataran Agung Temple added that when Mount

Agung erupted in 1963, the Eka Dasa Rudra ritual was still going on at Penataran Agung Temple where the eruption occurred early morning.

At that time, Besakih residents were still busy paying devotional works at Penataran Agung. Although the mountain already erupted, the community, especially that of Besakih,

were still working.

According to Jro Mangku Sueca, at that time Besakih was hit by the rain of ash, sand and stones. Customary clothes of the pilgrims saying prayers at that time were showered by ash rain. The black ashes afflicting their clothes could not be cleaned though having been washed. In the meantime, if the skin is hit, it will be hot and itching because the ashes are still hot. Then, meru shrines at the temple were entirely covered with ashes so they were not visible.

Nevertheless, it did not cause temples or meru shrines to be damaged.

“When the ritual would be closed, then Besakih residents flocked to evacuate. Prior to evacuating, residents remained to pay devotional works (ngaturang ngayah) and said prayers,” explained Jro Mangku Sueca.
