Adele says she battled depression, before and after son’s birth

LONDON - Singer Adele said in a magazine interview released on Monday that she suffered from post-partum depression after the birth of her son and had undergone therapy when younger for what she called her “very dark side.”

The British singer, who is nearing the end of a 10-month tour to mark her album “25,” told Vanity Fair in an interview for its December cover story published on its website on Monday that she would be happy if she never had to tour again.

“I’d still like to make records, but I’d be fine if I never heard (the applause) again. I’m on tour simply to see everyone who’s been so supportive. I don’t care about money,” Adele, 28, was quoted as saying.

The 10-time Grammy winner, known for heart-wrenching ballads such as “Someone Like You” and “Rolling in the Deep,” said she had always been drawn to sad music.

“I have a very dark side. I’m very available to depression.

I can slip in and out of it quite easily. It started when my granddad died, when I was about 10, and while I never had a suicidal thought, I have been in therapy, lots.

“But I haven’t had that feeling since I had my son and snapped out of my postpartum depression,” she added.

Adele gave birth to son Angelo four years ago with boyfriend Simon Konecki.

“I had really bad postpartum depression after I had my son, and it frightened me... My knowledge of postpartum — or post-natal, as we call it in England — is that you don’t want to be with your child; you’re worried you might hurt your child; you’re worried you weren’t doing a good job. But I was obsessed with my child. I felt very inadequate; I felt like I’d made the worst decision of my life. It can come in many different forms,” the singer said.

Adele acknowledged that her future songs would likely never match those she wrote for her 2011 album “21,” which has sold more than 31 million copies worldwide. (rtr) Singer Adele arrives at the 58th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California February 15, 2016.

Almost extinct, Tourism Office reconstructs wayang wong of Ban village AMLAPURA — The Karangasem Culture and Tourism Agency reconstructed wayang wong or human puppet sacred dance at Ban village, Kubu. It is necessary because the legacy of sacred dance is almost extinct. It happens because local residents have difficulty to find out regeneration of new dancers to preserve this wayang wong drama.

Cultural Division Head of the Karangasem Culture and Tourism Agency, I Gede Sukasari, when met at his office on Monday (Oct. 31) said the process of reconstruction involves the Indonesia Institute of the Arts (ISI) Denpasar. It has been carried out in past few months, involving approximately six instructors of dance and gamelan. It started by checking various masks and other equipment.

Condition of various masks and other equipment is very alarming.

It happens because the wayang wong has long not been staged, a number of masks are unkempt and almost destroyed. Fortunately, during the reconstruction process, the historical objects can still be repaired and saved.

Civilians flee their houses, as Iraq’s elite counterterrorism forces fight against Islamic State militants, in the village of Tob Zawa, about 9 kilometers (5.6 miles) from Mosul, Iraq, Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2016.

Human shields: The new ISIS strategy in Mosul

Near Bashiqa - The reports are disturbing: Tens of thousands of men, women and children snatched from their homes and forced into the center of Mosul as the battle intensifies to drive ISIS out of Iraq’s second-largest city.

The intent is sinister: Using civilians as human shields is ISIS’s attempt to hold onto the city, the jewel of its self-proclaimed caliphate.

No one expected the militants to surrender Mosul without a hellish fight. But for Iraqis still living under ISIS control in the city and surrounding areas, every option now is grim.

They can try to flee but be branded by ISIS as “apostates,” for which the penalty is death. Or

they can potentially be seen as ISIS sympathizers in a new place and risk becoming victims of revenge crimes.

They can try to hold out and survive the fierce fighting ahead.

Or they can be forced further into the heart of Mosul and serve as human shields.

It’s a horrifying prospect: be killed by ISIS or be killed in the attacks to defeat ISIS. ISIS has abducted nearly 8,000 families from districts surrounding Mosul, the

UN agency said, based on reports it has received. They were forced out at gunpoint and if they refused, they were killed.

Thousands of men, women and children were forced to walk barefoot alongside ISIS fighters as they retreated toward Mosul.

In Hamam al-Alil, an ISIS stronghold south of Mosul, the population has spiked to 60,000 from the previous 23,000, the United Nations said. Iraqi forces said they hope to storm the town soon but the high number of civilians is a definite concern.

Kurdish Peshmerga forces have the same concern in the towns and villages north and east of Mosul

that they have been clearing.

“We are taking it slowly,” said Kurdish Peshmerga Col. Abdullah Tato, whose soldiers encircled the ISIS-held town of Bashiqa, a few miles northeast of Mosul.

“We have to be careful,” Tato said. “Our biggest challenge are the civilians. We have to be patient in order to save civilian lives.”

Now, in Iraq, thousands of people could lose their lives because ISIS is forcing them into the action.

The war is raging on the rugged plains of Nineveh; in the houses, schools and mosques of towns and villages. Soon fighting will erupt in the heart of Mosul, a far more

densely populated place. No one knows exactly how many people are still living there but it could be more than 1 million.

The city has been a prison for its residents for more than two years under ISIS. Now, with the extremist group amassing people around its fighters, Mosul could tragically become a graveyard.(rtr) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

COVER STORY

Wayang...

From page 1

Currently, the reconstruction process has entered the stage of training. The lack of old dancers caused the process to be halting because the remaining senior dancers have been elderly. Finally, the Karangasem Culture and Tourism Agency with the ISI Denpasar began by exploring the stories of puppet characters frequently used as the basic storyline. At the end, it was obtained some titles, such as the ‘Kumbakarna Seized’ or ‘the Death of Kumbakarna.’ “From this basic story, the ISI Denpasar drafts the pattern of story, adjusts the characterization and creates dance movement. It is part of our duty, namely discovering, preserving and developing,” said Sukasari.

He said that training process has been going on within the past recent months. After agreeing a story idea, there are about 20 dancers of new generation of successful local residents that can be involved in the composition. Local people are very excited to welcome the reconstruction process of the wayang wong.

Since the past, local residents have wished to have a new regeneration that could revive and resume the sacred dance heritage to support a variety of sacred rituals at local village. “We must be willing to wait for them till evening because local residents are only ready to have training at night. From morning till evening, they were busy at work,” said Sukasari.

In the past, the wayang wong dance was often performed as sacred dance to support various rituals at Ban village such as at Puseh Temple or other temples at Ban village. Regeneration is hard to find because most young generations of local residents have worked in diaspora.

Particularly in Karangasem, a number of villages in other subdistricts such as Wates in Selat, Selumbung in Manggis and Pempatan at Rendang are also still working hard to preserve the wayang wong drama. Masks and the equipment are still stored and well maintained. Moreover, the wayang wong in Selat subdistrict has often represented Karangasem for performances at the Bali Arts Festival or BAF.

Hog plum herbal drink at Penglipuran Served first at celebration, develops into promising business LOLOH cemcem or hog plum herbal drink is one of the traditional drinks frequently sold to visitors at Penglipuran village, Bangli. Before made into a cottage industry, this thirstquenching drink was just served by the family welfare guidance (PKK) during a celebration at local village.

Activities

When making a visit to Penglipuran village, travelers will not only see natural beauty, similar buildings and customs remaining to be looked after very well by the community. Moreover, travelers will also be pampered with fresh hog plum herbal drink, a drink processed in traditional technique.

This green herbal drink tastes sweet, sour and slightly spicy in combination with young coconut that is very suitable for a thirstquenching, especially during hot weather.

Getting this drink is not difficult.

Each stall standing at home to resident will surely offer this drink.

The price is not so expensive, you are just enough to spend at IDR 4,000 per bottle. Before peddled as today, according to one of the Penglipuran community leaders, I Nengah Sudibia, the herbal drink was initially used as a drink served

by PKK when there was a celebration at the village. “In the past, it was only made when there were events at the village. It was served for guests,” he said, not long ago.

Armed with such experience, in fact, the freshness offered by the drink made from hog plum leaves became inherent in the tongue of the audience. At the next event, it became a compulsory drink to be presented. This drink is getting more and more popular. Total audience also increased. Seeing the good prospect to bring in profits, a number of residents took the initiative to sell this herbal drinks to visiting travelers. “At first, the herbal drink was not sold in bottle but in glasses and drunk on the spot,” said Sudibia.

Seeing the growing demand, the drink gradually became the hallmark of Penglipuran village. Promotion was made to major events

by local village such as the Bali Arts Festival (BAF). In fact, such an effort worked successfully. In 2012, along with the development of Penglipuran tourism village, more people also produce herbal drink as having become a promising business. “Now, there are twelve people producing in a large enough scale. We did not think it can develop whereas it was only started from local celebration,” he explained.

The demand for hog plum herbal drink, he said, did not just come from the Bangli district alone.

However, it has expanded to other districts in Bali. Other than serving as a thirst-quenching drink, it is also taken advantage to cure various diseases. Although it has fairly well-known, local people do not stop innovating. Lately, local people also produce some variants of herbal drink namely made from turmeric and blue pea. The demand is quite a lot. “Hog plum herbal drink becomes the identity of the village. But people also continuously make other variant of the herbal drinks,” he said. (sos)

China debuts J-20 stealth jet in show of strength at country’s biggest air expo

Wednesday, November 2, 2016

ZHUHAI - China showed its Chengdu J-20 stealth fighter in public for the first time on Tuesday, opening the country’s biggest meeting of aircraft makers and buyers with a show of its military clout.

Airshow China, in the southern city of Zhuhai, offers Beijing an opportunity to demonstrate its ambitions in civil aerospace and to

underline its defence ambitions.

China is set to overtake the U.S. as the world’s top aviation market in the next decade.

Two J-20 jets, Zhuhai’s headline act, swept over dignitaries and hundreds of spectators and industry executives gathered at the show’s opening ceremony in a flypast that barely exceeded a minute, generat-

ing a deafening roar that was met with gasps and applause and set off car alarms in a parking lot at the site.

Experts say China has been refining designs for the J-20, first glimpsed by planespotters in 2010, in the hope of narrowing a military technology gap with the United States.

President Xi Jinping has pushed to toughen the armed forces as China takes a more assertive stance in Asia, particularly in the South China and East China seas.

“It is clearly a big step forward in Chinese combat capability,” said Bradley Perrett of Aviation Week, a veteran China watcher.

It was China’s second successive display of a new stealth jet at the biennial Zhuhai show, following the 2014 debut of the J-31. (rtr)

US approves 2 types of genetically engineered potatoes

Nicolas Champouret/J.R. Simplot Company via AP

This 2013 photo taken at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mich., and supplied by J.R. Simplot Company shows wilted conventional potato plants without resistance to the pathogen that caused the Irish potato famine on the left next to surviving rows of J.R. Simplot Co.’s genetically engineered potato plants that resist the disease.

BOISE — The U.S. Department of Agriculture has approved commercial planting of two types of potatoes that are genetically engineered to resist the pathogen that caused the Irish potato famine.

The approval announced Friday covers Idaho-based J.R. Simplot Co.’s Ranger Russet and Atlantic varieties of the company’s second generation of Innate potatoes.

The company says the potatoes will also have reduced bruising and black spots, enhanced storage capacity, and a reduced amount of a chemical created when potatoes are cooked at high temperatures that’s a potential carcinogen.

“We obviously are very proud of these,” said company spokesman Doug Cole.

The potatoes next must clear a voluntary review process through the Food and Drug Administration as well as get the OK from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The company says it expects those approvals in January with the potatoes entering the market next spring.

The two varieties join a third

variety with the same traits called the Russet Burbank that has already attained approval from the Agriculture Department and FDA, with EPA approval also expected in January.

The company said the potatoes contain only potato genes, and that the resistance to late blight, the disease that caused the Irish potato famine, comes from an Argentinian variety of potato that naturally produced a defense.

Late blight continues to be a major problem for potato growers around the world, especially in wetter regions. Company officials say the new types of potatoes will bring 24-hour protections to farmers’ fields and reduce the use of pesticide spray up to 45 percent.

The reduction in bruising, Cole said, could reduce waste and increase by 15 percent the top-quality potatoes coming out of fields, which sell for more than bruised potatoes.

Cole said the new varieties of potatoes can be kept in cold storage longer. Conventional potatoes can turn a dark color when cooked after they were kept cold for too long.

The enhanced cold storage could have significant ramifications for the potato chip industry by reducing trucking costs, Cole said.

The company’s second generation of Innate potatoes follows the first generation that has been selling to consumers for more than a year.

Those potatoes, marketed under the White Russet label, have reduced bruising and reduced potential carcinogens when cooked, but not resistance to late blight or enhanced cold storage.

Cole said about 40 million pounds of the first generation potatoes have been sold to consumers in more than 35 states. He said that’s about 1 percent of all potato sales. Of the 40 million pounds, he said about two-thirds went to produce sections of stores.

There is no evidence that genetically modified organisms, known as GMOs, are unsafe to eat, but for some people, altering the genetic code of foods presents an ethical issue. McDonald’s has rejected using Simplot’s first generation of Innate potatoes for its French fries. (rtr)

Tourism is vulnerable to security and health issues so that it must be anticipated if there are issues on safety and health that might occur in the future.

Bali tourism prone to security and health issues

DENPASAR - Bali tourism is vulnerable to health and safety issues being necessary to be anticipated from spreading. Tourist arrival in Bali remains high so that it is expected to be properly maintained.

Based on cumulative data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Bali, the number of foreign tourists visiting In-

donesia during the period of January-August 2016 reached 7.36 million visits, an increase of 8.39 percent when compared

to the number of foreign travelers in the same period last year, amounting to 6.79 million visits.

However, when compared to the period of August to July 2016, foreign tourist visit decreased by 0.07 percent.

Tourism Marketing Division Head of the Bali Tourism Office,

Nyoman Wardawan, assessed that both foreign and domestic tourist visits will be high as along as Bali could create security and comfort. “It is important for Bali so that travelers are willing and want to come to Bali,” he said.

He said that tourism is vulnerable to security and health issues

so that it must be anticipated if there are issues on safety and health that might occur in the future. “We have to anticipate so as not to spread everywhere by making early prevention. As a result, tourist destination remains to be visited by travelers,” he said. (may)

MSMEs weak in financial reports DENPASAR - In managing their business, the major issues faced by the MSMEs are weakness in financial reports and the absence of documentation so that they will find difficulty in accessing capital to banks.

“It is impossible for submitting proposal orally. For instance, if the MSMEs are talking about turnover worth IDR 2 billion, without

evidence they may be feasible but not bankable,” said Iman Causa Karana, Chief Representative Officer of Bank Indonesia (BI) for Bali region, recently.

Therefore, he encouraged the MSMEs to be bankable ranging from documentation to reporting of business activities. “For example, how many cows are sold, how much do they cost and how much

could they be sold? All must be reported so that there is evidence but all this time there are only oral reports,” he explained.

Likewise, the MSMEs face productivity constraints. If raising cattle, they must cooperate with the livestock agency and if they are farming they must cooperate with the agriculture agency.

To overcome these constraints,

BI launched Si Apik (financial reporting administration system) application that can be downloaded on the play store. This financial reporting application can be taken advantage by a wide variety of business sectors.

“The reports contain how many sales are made and how much cost is expended. Automatically it will be created the balance of transac-

tion. It is very simple,” he said.

Hopefully, the MSMEs could apply the reporting system as administrative evidence of their business that can be used to access capital and meet the requirement needed by bank. “Sometimes they (MSMEs) forget to make a report,” he added. Since the application was launched mid-2016, it has obtained rating of 4. (may)

Motorcycle gang harms a car of nephew of former local military official

DENPASAR - Members of motorcycle gang took action on Jalan Menuh, Kereneng, North Denpasar, Saturday (Oct. 29).

The motorcycle gang consisting of dozens of people surrounded the car of a Warmadewa University medical student, I Dewa Gede Abiseka, 20, and broke rear windshield of his Honda Jazz car. Moreover, the nephew of the former official of the IX / Udayana Regional Military Command was threatened with a sword. Fortunately, the victim managed to escape and went straight to his uncle’s house at Sudirman dormitory, Denpasar.

Information in the field told that the victim living on Jalan Morotai, Denpasar, at 22:00 just left college and passed at the scene. At that time, many motorcycle gang members were seen sitting at roadside and in a drunken condition. For no reason, one of the gang members approached the victim and asked him to stop. Moreover, the victim was threatened by a sword.

“Because of being threatened, the victim was afraid and did not want to stop. However, he drove his car slowly,” said the source, Monday (Oct. 31).

Since the victim did not want to stop, the motorcycle gang members were increasingly violent. They tried to stop the pace of the car, where a motorcycle gang member with the initial Yg, 18, hit the rear windshield alleged to use a sword to shatter. Meanwhile, the other climbed up to the hood of the car while brandishing a sharp weapon.

Realizing that his life was threatened, the victim immediately stepped on the gas and left the scene. He went straight to his uncle’s residence at the Sudirman dormitory on Jalan PB Sudirman Denpasar and informed the incident. “The motorcycle gang immediately fled. As information,

there were some motorcycle gang members at the scene. Maybe they wanted to have a brawl, and when the victim passed at the scene he became a target,” said the source asking for anonymity.

“Family of the victim would like to resolve this issue amicably. But we would like to find out the culprit first. Victim’s car has been secured at the military headquarters,” said Commander of the 1611/Badung Military District, M. Leo Pola Ardiansa.

Related to the incident, he immediately ordered his members to find out the perpetrator, including the members of the motorcycle gang.

“We’ve been calling dozens of high school students of SMA Dwijendra high school for questioning at the military district headquarters. They are the members of motorcycle gang at the scene,” he said.

Results of interrogation, said the commander, led to the student with initial Sz, a third-grade student of the SMA Dwijendra.

Sz was directly summoned, but he avoided and even claimed to protect the victim from the attack of his friends. “Nevertheless, we’re still investigating his recognition.

Some witnesses saw him (Sz— Ed) mounting onto the hood of the victim’s car,” said Leo.

S.Korean prosecutors arrest woman at centre of political crisis

SEOUL - The woman at the centre of a scandal that has plunged the South Korean presidency into crisis was held for a second day on Tuesday after being detained overnight to answer allegations of exerting inappropriate influence in state affairs.

The car that was damaged by the gang in Denpasar Sz even mentioned that his friend, Yo, 18, who smashed the victim’s car. Currently, the members of the Military District Command are deployed to hunt Yo. The officers had visited the house of Yo at Yangbatu, Denpasar.

However, the officers could only meet the mother of Yo and immediately taken to military district headquarters.

“Her mother said that Yo has not gone home for two months. Father

of Yo already died and Yo no longer attends school. As the information, Yo is now living in Kuta and we are still searching,” he said.

Related to the incident, the commander said that to keep the public order and security of Denpasar, the municipal government should be involved. According to him, people cannot rely on police and military. Moreover, the crime rate in Denpasar area is high.

“Do not take action like a fire

brigade, only coming down after an incident occurs. The mayor must see this condition and deploy his ranks such as the municipal police to jointly patrol in order to maintain public security and order. In addition, Jalan Kamboja and surrounding area is vulnerable so that it should be installed with CCTV. It is better to prevent and the Denpasar municipality must find solutions to overcome this motorcycle gang,” said. (kmb36)

Prosecutors have said they are investigating whether Choi Soonsil used her friendship with President Park Geun-hye to gain access to classified documents that enabled her to influence government matters and benefited personally through non-profit foundations.

The growing scandal has sparked public anger and sent Park’s approval rating to a record low, with thousands of protestors gathered in Seoul on Saturday night calling for her to step down. Park accepted the resignations of eight of her top aides over the weekend.

Choi, 60, arrived at the prosecutor’s office on Tuesday morning in handcuffs and a surgical mask and wearing a dark coat, escorted by correctional officers. A prosecution official and her laywer said she had been detained late on Monday.

Although Choi was being questioned at another location, a man used a heavy construction excavator to smash the front entrance of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office building in Seoul, injuring a security guard, in an apparent act of protest against Choi. He was arrested by police.

According to Han Jeung-sub, a

senior official at the Seocho Police Station, the 45-year-old man told police: “Choi Soon-sil said she had committed a crime she deserves to die for, so I came here to help her die.”

Prosecutors have asked eight banks for documents related to Choi’s financial transactions, South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported, citing unnamed financial industry officials.

Worried that Choi may be a flight risk and could destroy evidence, prosecutors placed her under emergency detention without a warrant late on Monday, Yonhap reported. Under local law, a suspect can be held without a warrant for up to 48 hours.

Prosecutors planned to file a court request for an arrest warrant on Wednesday, Yonhap and other media said, citing a prosecution official. Prosecutors were not immediately available for comment.

Choi told South Korea’s Segye Ilbo newspaper last week that she received drafts of Park’s speeches after Park’s election victory but denied she had access to other official material, or that she influenced state affairs or benefited financially. (rtr)

NEGARA - Traffic condition of the Denpasar-Gilimanuk national road precisely at the Dangin Tukadaya Bridge, Dangin Tukadaya village, Jembrana, was very crowded on Monday afternoon (Oct. 31).

One lane was temporarily closed due to the bridge is being repaired after collapsing in the middle.

The repair is estimated to take place until next few weeks. As the observation on Monday, the workmanship caused traffic congestion during the maneuvering process of heavy equipment such as pile drill.

The process took almost two hours and had an impact on congestion along three kilometers. During the process, open-close system was applied by only opening single

lane of the emergency bridge on the north side. Other than bridge workmanship, traffic crowdedness was also triggered by sidewalk repair on Jalan Gajah Mada. From the observation, vehicles from Denpasar queued starting from the east end of the bridge along two kilometers.

Conversely, from west direction or Gilimanuk, the queue occurred from Keladian four-way intersection to Tegalasih hamlet. Crowded condition also occurred at the hero statue intersection at Batuagung.

A number of vehicles from the south and the north were stuck in the middle of the intersection due to traffic jam.

Supervisor of the national road

authority (BPJN) VIII, I Made Darsa, told reporters that the workmanship process interfering with the traffic is estimated to occur until some days to come. Maneuver process of heavy equipment taking wide space requires the operation of single lane at the emergency bridge. Currently the project is still operating pile drill at both sides of the bridge. Furthermore, it will be resumed with the installation of iron and Glider pad. He added that concrete beams are still being ordered in Surabaya.

According to him, the project implementer is often constrained by natural conditions, namely heavy rain accompanied with overflow of river water. (kmb26)

Tata Group Chairman Cyrus Mistry speaks to shareholders during the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) annual general meeting in Mumbai, India June 28, 2013.

MUMBAI- The bitter public feud between the Tata family, which controls India’s most respected conglomerate, and its now ousted chairman Cyrus Mistry has created an unwelcome stir in the tiny Parsi community to which both sides belong.

There are only about 58,000 Parsis in India, a nation of 1.2 billion people. Yet, the community has included some of India’s biggest business names, its top nuclear scientists, world-class musicians and several senior military officers including the country’s first field-marshal.

Parsis are also known for maintaining their privacy.

“They should have settled this between themselves instead of what has happened so publicly,” said a Parsi woman stepping out

of the community’s fire temple in downtown Mumbai.

The row between Ratan Tata, family patriarch of the sprawling $100 billion salt-to-steel Tata Sons empire, and Cyrus Mistry, a scion of the billionaire Shapoorji Pallonji clan, erupted in public last week.

Both families are pillars of the Parsi community, comprised of descendants of Persians who first landed in India in the ninth century.

Tata Sons announced on Oct 24 that Mistry had been removed as chairman of the company. Sources close to the company said Mistry’s corporate strategy was seen as transgressing the core Parsi value of working for the greater common good.

A five-page e-mail response from Mistry to the Tata board was leaked two days later, con-

taining scathing criticism of the company’s corporate governance practices and Ratan Tata’s role in some of the company’s costliest errors. The two sides have traded barbs on a near-daily basis since then.

While business spats are not uncommon in India’s financial capital Mumbai, the public allegations of malfeasance and the central role of two billionaire Parsis has not gone down well in the community.

“I would say Cyrus, walk out with a little dignity and self respect. Don’t wash dirty linen in public. Don’t make the press your playground. Fight battles inside boardrooms,” said Rumi Behram Balsara, a second generation shareholder in some Tata group companies. (rtr)

Indonesia Today

HONG KONG — Private and official surveys showed Tuesday that China’s factory activity rose last month to its highest level in more than two years, suggesting the world’s No. 2 economy is stabilizing. companies. Despite the improved readings, official analysts fretted that weak demand from customers in major overseas markets was a drag on China’s factories.

“Owing to the global economy’s feeble recovery, the import and export situation is still grim,” said Zhao Qinghe, an analyst at the National Bureau of Statistics.

In another hopeful sign for China’s economy, activity in the services sector firmed up as the official non-manufacturing PMI ticked up to 54.0 last month from 53.7 previously.

Taken together, the numbers suggest improvement in the wider economy, said Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics.

“Overall, today’s data are unambiguously upbeat and consistent with broader evidence that the economy is currently in the midst of a cyclical recovery,” EvansPritchard said in a research note. He added that he expects the recovery to hold up until early next year but is likely to stall after that as the effects of recent stimulus fade.(ap)

UK factories keep up strong growth, inflation pressure builds -PMI

LONDON - Britain’s factory sector maintained most of its robust growth last month after a weaker pound boosted exports, though this

also fuelled inflation, according to a survey that underscored the impact on the economy of June’s Brexit vote.

“Lost Soldiers”, an installation by artist Mark Humphrey is photographed, in Canary Wharf, London, Sunday, Oct. 30, 2016. The piece is part of the UK’s first Remembrance Art Trail, in association with the Royal British Legion.

The Markit/CIPS Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) slowed slightly to 54.3 from an upwardly revised 55.5 in September, which was its highest level in more than two years.

“The UK manufacturing sector remained on a firm footing in October and should return to growth in the fourth quarter,” Rob Dobson, an economist at compiler Markit said.

Data has already shown that Britain’s economy fared much better than expected by the Bank of England and economists in the three months after the June 23 decision to take the country out of the European Union.

The BoE is widely expected to hold off from a fresh interest rate cut on Thursday, in view of the economy’s resilience so far since the vote and the nearly 20 percent fall in the value of the pound

against the dollar.

“It looks as if the manufacturing sector’s fortunes improved at the beginning of the fourth quarter,” Capital Economics analyst Paul Hollingsworth said, saying the figures pointed to quarterly growth for the sector of 1 percent versus a 1 percent contraction in the previous quarter.

Markit said the slump in sterling had boosted exports by manufacturers in October, although they showed a little bit less growth than in September and domestic demand was also strong. Others were less upbeat.

“We continue to expect manufactures to struggle to capitalise on the weak pound in the near term, given the usual delays involved in finding new business, renegotiating contracts and investing in extra capacity,” Pantheon Macroeconomics’s Samuel Tombs said.

Markit said the inflationary

impact of the weaker currency was also becoming increasingly evident. Import prices showed one of the steepest rises in purchasing costs in the near 25-year history of the survey.

Around 90 percent of companies offering a reason for increased costs made some reference to the sterling exchange rate, Markit said. Factory gate prices rose at the steepest pace since mid-2011.

“If signs of ongoing solid output expansion and rising price pressures are also experienced elsewhere in the economy, the chances of a further cut in interest rates before year-end are virtually nil,” Dobson said.

The fall in sterling is expected to push the BoE to raise its inflation forecasts on Thursday to show a bigger overshoot of its price target than at any time since it gained independence in 1997.(rtr)

Cattle imports must include heifers

China’s manufacturing hits 2-year high as demand perks up The Caixin monthly purchasing managers’ index climbed to 51.2 in October from 50.1 the previous month. The report found that production grew at its fastest pace in more than five years as strong domestic demand more than offset a slight drop in new export orders.

A separate index compiled by the official Chinese Federation of Logistics & Purchasing found a similar pick-up in output and new orders helped push the reading to 51.2 last month from 50.4 in September. Both indexes are at their highest since July 2014. They are based on 100-point scales on which the 50 mark separates expansion from contraction.

Data on China’s huge manufacturing industry, which employs many millions of workers, is closely watched for indications on the state of the broader economy, which last year expanded at its slowest rate in a quarter century.

Caixin’s survey focuses on smaller, private enterprises while the federation’s report gives more weighting to large, state-owned

JAKARTA - The leader of an opposition party in Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, has expressed his commitment to help President Joko Widodo with his inputs and views for the sake of the Unitary State of Indonesia.

“Thank God, he (President Jokowi) is open (to suggestions and feedback). I have expressed my commitment and said I am ready any time if I need to provide any inputs to help build the country together,” the general chairman of the Great Indonesia Movement Party

(Gerindra) said after receiving the President at his private residence in the village of Bojong Koneng, Hambalang, Bogor, West Java, on Monday.

JAKARTA - In its efforts to encourage cattle production at home and reduce imports which last year still reached 36 percent of domestic needs, the government requires importers to include heifers in their feedlot cow imports.

The Trade Ministry and the Agriculture Ministry will soon draft a technical guidance for the cattle importation scheme which requires the inclusion of mother cows. The government will audit the number of heifers included in the importation of feedlot cattle at the end of 2018.

“At the end of 2018, the number of heifers that companies have imported would be audited. It should reach 20 percent of their total imports. If importers are allowed to import 123,800 feedlot cows at the end of this year, there should be between 24,000 and 26,000 heifers at the end of 2018,” Director General for Internal Trade of the Ministry of Trade Oke Nurwan, said in Jakarta, Friday (Oct. 28).

At home there are now 32 feedlot companies -- or about 75 percent of all feedlot firms which had the commitment to import cattle based on the Agriculture Ministers Regulation No.49/2016, Director General of External Trade of the Ministry of Trade Dody Edward said on the occasion.

“Now, a total of 32 companies already have the commitment.

We have issued a license for the import of 123,800 feedlot cows (with the obligation to include heifers). We know there are about 46 feedlot companies. About 75 percent of them have had the commitment. Ahead, we want the number of those having the commitment to also import heifers to increase,” Dody said.

The government has recently changed its feedlot cattle importation scheme policy. So far, feedlot imports carried out to meet the peoples need for protein reached about 600 thousand heads of cows per annum. Now it requires the inclusion of mother cows in the importation scheme in an effort to increase production at home.

The new importation scheme is contained in the Agriculture Ministers Regulation No. 49 Year of 2016 on Large Ruminant Importation into the Territory of the Republic of Indonesia.

The Ministry of Agriculture requires cattle importers to also include mother cows in their imports. Companies should import one heifer in five feedlot cows (1:5 ratio) while breeder cooperative importers are required to bring in one mother cow in 10 feedlot cattle imports. (ant)

Trump raises specter of crisis if Clinton wins the White House

GRAND RAPIDS - R epublican presidential candidate Donald Trump called Democratic rival Hillary Clinton a threat to the country on Monday, saying that if she is elected a probe into her emails could shadow her entire term in office, as the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Clinton’s lead narrowing slightly.

“The investigation will last for years. The trial will probably start,” Trump told a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan. “Nothing will get done. I can tell you, your jobs will continue to leave Michigan.

Nothing’s going to get done.”

The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Friday said it was investigating newly discovered emails that might relate to Clinton’s use

of a private email server when she was secretary of state.

Clinton on Monday again said she was confident that the FBI would not find anything problematic in her emails and would reach the same conclusion they did earlier this year.

“It wasn’t even a close call,” she said at a rally in Cincinnati, Ohio, of the FBI investigation.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appears at a campaign rally in Warren, Michigan U.S. October 31, 2016.

But just eight days ahead of the election - a time when candidates typically feel that the hard work of the campaign is behind them - both Clinton and Trump have ratcheted up their attacks on the other’s character and fitness for office.

Clinton, who had been riding high in opinion polls in recent weeks as Trump was hit by fallout from the release of a 2005 video in which he bragged in vulgar terms of groping women, now finds herself on the defensive.

Trump is hoping to convince voters that electing Clinton would prompt “a constitutional crisis that

we cannot afford,” as her emails would be subject to years of controversy, in the wake of the FBI’s announcement on Friday that it continues to investigate material possibly related to her emails.

Clinton on Monday continued to level attacks against Trump’s ability to control nuclear weapons.

“I am running against someone who says he doesn’t understand why we can’t use nuclear weapons,” she said in Cincinnati. “He wants more countries to have nuclear weapons.

“I wonder if he even knows that

a single nuclear warhead can kill millions of people,” she added.

Little is publicly known yet about the emails being investigated, other than that they were found during an unrelated probe into the estranged husband of a top Clinton aide.

FBI Director James Comey told members of Congress on Friday the agency was probing more emails that might relate to Clinton’s use of a private email server, but added, “We don’t know the significance of this newly discovered collection of emails.” (rtr)

U.S. stopped Philippines rifle sale that senator opposed

WASHINGTON - The U.S. State Department halted the planned sale of some 26,000 assault rifles to the Philippines’ national police after Senator Ben Cardin said he would oppose it, Senate aides told Reuters on Monday.

Aides said Cardin, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was reluctant for the United States to provide the weapons given concerns about human rights violations in the Philippines.

The relationship between the United States and the Philippines, a long-time ally, has been complicated lately by President Rodrigo Duterte’s angry reaction to criticism from Washington of his violent battle to rid the country of illegal drugs.

More than 2,300 people have been killed in police operations or by suspected vigilantes in connection with the anti-narcotics campaign since Duterte took office on June 30.

The U.S. State Department informs Congress when international weapons sales are in the works. Aides said Foreign Relations committee staff informed State that Cardin would oppose the deal during the department’s prenotification process for the sale of 26,000-27,000 assault rifles, stopping the deal.

State Department officials did not comment.

Earlier this month, Duterte told U.S. President Barack Obama to “go to hell” and said the United States had refused to sell some weapons to his country, but he did not care because Russia and China were willing suppliers.

According to some U.S. officials, Washington has been doing its best to ignore Duterte’s rhetoric and not provide him with a pretext for more outbursts.

An open break with Manila could create problems for the United States in a region where China’s influence has grown. (rtr)

Vettel rage due to Ferrari frustration, say rivals

Satria Bird Market

DENPASAR - Satria Bird Market is located in the city centre, at Veteran Sreet, approximately 300 meters north of Catur Muka (four face) statue. This colorful and often noisy market is not for the weak hearted. Come here only if seeing birds and other animals in small, and sometimes cruel cages, do not bother you.

Always more than happy to show you their best birds, the various shop owners will of course want you to buy one!

Often, you will come across other small animals such as monkeys, squirrels, small wild cats and other unidentifiable animals from the heart of the dark jungles of Indonesia. This interesting place enables one to see some of the quickly disappearing animals of Indonesia. (IBP/net)

MEXICO CITY - Sebastian Vettel’s expletive-laden radio rants betray his frustration at Ferrari’s fading form, according to his former Red Bull team mate Daniel Ricciardo and predecessor Fernando Alonso.

Four-times world champion Vettel turned the air blue in Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix, directing some of the abuse at Formula One race director Charlie Whiting in an outburst that some in the paddock compared to slapping a soccer referee.

It was not the first time this season that the German has let rip over the airwaves with bleeped-out swear words broadcast worldwide.

He called McLaren’s Alonso, a double world champion who left Ferrari in 2014 when Vettel arrived from Red Bull, an ‘idiot’ in free practice at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

The Spaniard laughed off the insult by saying Vettel was “living a very frustrating period for himself and for Ferrari, so we have to forgive him”.

Much of his ire has been aimed at Max Verstappen, Ricciardo’s team mate, and he had plenty to shout about on Sunday after the Dutch teenager cut a corner while defending against Vettel and refused to give up the place.

Verstappen, who has annoyed plenty of other drivers, suggested Vettel go back to school to improve

his language.

Ricciardo, who also clashed with Vettel and inherited third place when the German was demoted post-race, said his former team mate was under pressure.

“He’s shown in the past he can be quite emotional but this year it seems to be a bit more,” the Australian told reporters.

“He’s obviously a bit frustrated with how the season’s gone, he probably thought that maybe they had a chance to fight Mercedes but it hasn’t worked like that.”

Vettel won three races last year but Ferrari have drawn a blank in 2016 and been overtaken by Red Bull in the battle for second place behind Mercedes.

“Some things we’ve seen in the past, Seb gets a bit frustrated but it’s probably been a bit more uncharacteristic this year, probably been a bit too much,” said Ricciardo.

He said drivers had to be more sensible than just “squirting a whole lot of stuff” over the radio.

“Trust me, I would say twice as much,” Ricciardo smiled. “But I do, a lot of the time, wait and maybe say a few things to myself and press the radio button. (rtr)

Jockey Kerrin McEvoy (L), riding the horse Almandin, wins the Melbourne Cup ahead of second-placed Heartbreak City at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, Australia, November 1, 2016.

MELBOURNE - German import Almandin won a thrilling sprint to the line to claim the A$6.2 million ($4.75 million) Melbourne Cup at Flemington Racecourse on Tuesday.

Roared on by a festive crowd of more than 100,000 people, Almandin emerged at the final turn to haul in Heartbreak City by a neck at the end of the gruelling two-mile handicap.

It gave local businessman Lloyd Williams a record fifth Melbourne Cup as an owner and jockey Kerrin McEvoy his second trumph after his win on Brew in 2000.

The seven-year-old gelding’s Australian trainer Robert Hickmott also claimed his second Cup in its 156th running, having prepared 2012 winner Green Moon.

“Jeez, he travelled well,” McEvoy said from the saddle, having timed the 11-1 shot’s run to perfection.

“How lucky am I, mate? The elation is just unreal.

“Just a dream, mate, to win my second Cup. It’s just a dream come true. I love these staying races, I love the Melbourne Cup.” McEvoy set a record for the longest gap between Cup wins for a jockey and his triumph came less than a week before his wife Cathy

Payne, the sister of last year’s winning jockey Michelle Payne, was due to have their fourth child.

“Cathy’s at home, love you guys, hope you didn’t cheer too loudly and the baby popped out,” the 36-year-old said.

Heartbreak City, ridden by Hong Kongbased Brazilian Joao Moreira, was a gallant runner-up after leaping from barrier 23.

Trained by Irishman Tony Martin, the sevenyear-old gelding was the first to bolt for the line and all but captured Australia’s richest horse racing prize before conceding at the line.

“He didn’t break my heart, he tried 120 percent,” said Moreira.

“I’m very proud of the horse. If you look at him you wouldn’t think he was that good, but when he went at the end he showed what he was capable of.

“From the 50 (metre mark), I knew my horse was getting weak, he started getting tired, and the other one had a little bit left and he got me at the line.”

Favourite Hartnell finished third, continuing the frustrations of the powerful Godolphin stable which had five entrants in the field of 24. (rtr)

Sp rt Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, right, celebrates after scoring during the English Premier League soccer match between Chelsea and Manchester United at Stamford Bridge stadium in London, Sunday, Oct. 23, 2016.

Traditional strikers getting overlooked in English soccer AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth

MANCHESTER — There’s a new craze sweeping through the Premier League — and it spells bad news for the traditional center forward. In the last three rounds, as many as seven teams have started matches with a winger or attacking midfielder playing as a converted striker.

Take last weekend, for example. Roberto Firmino, an attacking midfielder, started up front for Liverpool as he has for most of the season and scored in a 4-2 win at Crystal Palace. Winger Alexis Sanchez led the line again for Arsenal and scored twice in a 4-1 win at Sunderland.

Eden Hazard, usually a left winger, was a goal-scorer and star player for Chelsea after starting the 2-0 win at Southampton in such an attacking position that he was often playing further forward than striker Diego Costa. Right wingers Nathan Redmond and Michail Antonio were central strikers for Southampton and West Ham, respectively.

Meanwhile, for two of Tottenham’s last four games, South Korea attacking midfielder Son Heung-min has started as the main striker. And Swansea’s American

coach, Bob Bradley, played midfield playmaker Gylfi Sigurdsson as a lone striker against Arsenal for his first game in charge.

Established international strikers like Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi, Olivier Giroud, Vincent Janssen, Shane Long, Michy Batshuayi and Fernando Llorente have often had to be content with a role as substitute at the expense of wingers or midfielders. Some of them haven’t even come on.

Even the player widely regarded as the best striker in England has been affected. Sergio Aguero was on the bench for Manchester City’s Champions League game at Barcelona, with coach Pep Guardiola preferring playmaker Kevin De Bruyne up front so he could drop back to help his midfield.

English soccer is late to the party when it comes to the converted forward or “false nine,” which was

popularized by the successful Barcelona and Spain teams of the past decade and also in the European game by current world champion Germany on occasion.

At the turn of the century, it would be rare to see a Premier League team that didn’t start with two strikers. A decade later, playing with one target-man has become the vogue. Now, some teams don’t even have one, or sometimes play strikers out on the wing instead.

Why the change?

It’s been coming for a while, according to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who spoke last year about the lack of out-and-out strikers in Europe after a fruitless search in that year’s transfer window.

“What we produce now are good technical players because there are nice pitches out there,” Wenger said. “Before, you played in the park where you had to kick the ball up front and you had to fight. A boy of 12 who played against a boy of 16 had to be shrewd and push to get

the ball. “All those kind of things have gone.”

Then there’s a growing preference for a high-energy pressing game, which relies on a more mobile forward line. Hence why Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp chooses Firmino over Sturridge and Origi, why Son has sometimes been preferred to Janssen as the lead forward for Tottenham in injured Harry Kane’s absence, and why Sanchez looks like being the preferred choice to Giroud at Arsenal this season.

The likes of Sanchez, Redmond and Antonio — three quick, hardworking wingers — can stretch play by making runs behind defense, allowing their teams’ many attacking midfielders (Mesut Ozil, Theo Walcott, Dusan Tadic, Dimitri Payet) more space to exploit.

As for Hazard, relieving him of defensive duties is one of the key reasons Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has turned the Belgium winger into more of an out-and-out forward. Hazard’s attacking flair was stymied last season by thencoach Jose Mourinho, who made

him work too hard defensively.

“You have a similar type now in England who looks happy to have moved from wide to center,” said Wenger, who converted Thierry Henry from a winger to one of the best strikers of his generation.

“Most of the time, you develop a good technique on the flanks as a winger because you are against the line and you have to dribble. And when you are inside, you have a bit more room.”

Slowly infused into the Premier League, the “false nine” isn’t so popular among the top teams in Europe’s top leagues at the moment.

Strikers and speedy forwards are still the priority in Spain, with Barcelona (Luis Suarez), Real Madrid (Karim Benzema) and Atletico Madrid (Kevin Gameiro) having genuine strikers. No major team in Germany plays without a classic striker — except for the German national team itself, and that’s only the case when strikers are injured — and the phenomenon hasn’t really spread to Italy or France yet.

Okazaki a different player after Japan duty, says Ranieri Leicester City’s Shinji Okazaki is so drained when he returns from international duty with Japan he is barely recognizable from the bustling forward that played a key role in their title triumph last season, said manager Claudio Ranieri.

“I don’t know what happens, but when he comes back he is a differ-

ent person, believe me,” Ranieri told British media. “He needs to recover. He is not a machine where you put in the money and he starts to run.”

Languishing in 12th place, Inter fires Frank De Boer

MILAN — Inter Milan fired coach Frank de Boer on Tuesday after winning only four of the team’s opening 11 matches, leaving the club in 12th place. Youth squad coach Stefano Vecchi was given temporary control of the senior team for Thursday’s Europa League match at Southampton.

Former Chievo Verona, Bologna and Lazio coach Stefano Pioli is the leading candidate to take over permanently for De Boer. Andrea Villas-Boas, Marcelo Bielsa, Leonardo, Laurent Blanc and Francesco Guidolin have also been mentioned as possible replacements.

De Boer, a Dutchman who had never played or coached in Italy, was hired less than two weeks before the season began after Roberto Mancini resigned unexpectedly amid a reported lack of communication with the club’s new owners, the Chinese retail giant Suning.

“Inter would like to place on record its thanks to Frank and his coaching team for their work with the club over the past months and wishes them the best for the future,” the club said in a statement. “Further announcements regarding the first team coaching position will be made in due course.”

Inter has won only one of its last six matches, and appeared thoroughly confused in a 1-0 loss at Sampdoria on Sunday. Inter is 13 points behind Serie A leader Juventus and has 10 fewer points than at this stage last season, when it stood second and appeared to be a genuine challenger to Juventus.

The team also lost two of three Europa League games under De Boer. The lone highlight of De Boer’s campaign was a 2-1 win over Juventus in September. Inter’s next coach will become the team’s ninth since Jose Mourinho led the club to a treble in 2010. The others were: Rafa Benitez, Leonardo, Gian Piero Gasperini, Claudio Ranieri, Andrea Stramaccioni, Walter Mazzarri, Mancini and De Boer.

In June, Suning took control of 70 percent of Inter. Erick Thohir, the Indonesian entrepreneur who purchased Inter from the Moratti family three years ago, retained 30 percent of the ownership and is still club president.

Marco Tronchetti Provera, the CEO of Inter’s chief sponsor Pirelli, on Monday pointed to the lack of leadership at Inter as the chief cause of the team’s struggles.

“Even an extraordinary coach can’t do great things without the club. You can’t control a football squad from Jakarta, Beijing or Nanjing,” Tronchetti Provera said. “There’s been a long line of mistakes. ... This is a problem that should have been resolved a while ago.” (ap)

Barcelona will put Manchester City to the sword if they commit the same kind of errors as they did in their Champions League encounter last month, coach Luis Enrique has said.

After a slip by Fernandinho allowed Lionel Messi to open the scoring in Barca’s 4-0 win over City at the Nou Camp, goalkeeper Claudio Bravo was sent off early in the second half after handling the ball outside the box.

“If you make errors, you pay dearly. In that way I expect the same type of game as the last one. I expect the same script in terms of the match,” Luis Enrique told reporters.

“We only know how to play in one way and that is to go to win. If they leave spaces behind we can take advantage of those.

9

We have a great squad and I have confidence in my players.”

Luis Enrique is aware of the threat posed by Sergio Aguero, who was left out of the clash at Barca, but said his team would not change their approach for the Argentine.

“I don’t think we have to talk too much about Aguero - we know how well he plays. We know how good he is and how easy it is for him to score goals.

But the way we approach in a general sense doesn’t change,” he added.

Barcelona, with three wins from three games in Group C, can secure progress to the knockout phase at the Etihad on Tuesday, while City could be knocked out of second spot by Borussia Moenchengladbach, who host Celtic. (rtr)

Traditional strikers getting overlooked in English soccer AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth

MANCHESTER — There’s a new craze sweeping through the Premier League — and it spells bad news for the traditional center forward. In the last three rounds, as many as seven teams have started matches with a winger or attacking midfielder playing as a converted striker.

Take last weekend, for example. Roberto Firmino, an attacking midfielder, started up front for Liverpool as he has for most of the season and scored in a 4-2 win at Crystal Palace. Winger Alexis Sanchez led the line again for Arsenal and scored twice in a 4-1 win at Sunderland.

Eden Hazard, usually a left winger, was a goal-scorer and star player for Chelsea after starting the 2-0 win at Southampton in such an attacking position that he was often playing further forward than striker Diego Costa. Right wingers Nathan Redmond and Michail Antonio were central strikers for Southampton and West Ham, respectively.

Meanwhile, for two of Tottenham’s last four games, South Korea attacking midfielder Son Heung-min has started as the main striker. And Swansea’s American

coach, Bob Bradley, played midfield playmaker Gylfi Sigurdsson as a lone striker against Arsenal for his first game in charge.

Established international strikers like Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi, Olivier Giroud, Vincent Janssen, Shane Long, Michy Batshuayi and Fernando Llorente have often had to be content with a role as substitute at the expense of wingers or midfielders. Some of them haven’t even come on.

Even the player widely regarded as the best striker in England has been affected. Sergio Aguero was on the bench for Manchester City’s Champions League game at Barcelona, with coach Pep Guardiola preferring playmaker Kevin De Bruyne up front so he could drop back to help his midfield.

English soccer is late to the party when it comes to the converted forward or “false nine,” which was

popularized by the successful Barcelona and Spain teams of the past decade and also in the European game by current world champion Germany on occasion.

At the turn of the century, it would be rare to see a Premier League team that didn’t start with two strikers. A decade later, playing with one target-man has become the vogue. Now, some teams don’t even have one, or sometimes play strikers out on the wing instead.

Why the change?

It’s been coming for a while, according to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who spoke last year about the lack of out-and-out strikers in Europe after a fruitless search in that year’s transfer window.

“What we produce now are good technical players because there are nice pitches out there,” Wenger said. “Before, you played in the park where you had to kick the ball up front and you had to fight. A boy of 12 who played against a boy of 16 had to be shrewd and push to get

the ball. “All those kind of things have gone.”

Then there’s a growing preference for a high-energy pressing game, which relies on a more mobile forward line. Hence why Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp chooses Firmino over Sturridge and Origi, why Son has sometimes been preferred to Janssen as the lead forward for Tottenham in injured Harry Kane’s absence, and why Sanchez looks like being the preferred choice to Giroud at Arsenal this season.

The likes of Sanchez, Redmond and Antonio — three quick, hardworking wingers — can stretch play by making runs behind defense, allowing their teams’ many attacking midfielders (Mesut Ozil, Theo Walcott, Dusan Tadic, Dimitri Payet) more space to exploit.

As for Hazard, relieving him of defensive duties is one of the key reasons Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has turned the Belgium winger into more of an out-and-out forward. Hazard’s attacking flair was stymied last season by thencoach Jose Mourinho, who made

him work too hard defensively.

“You have a similar type now in England who looks happy to have moved from wide to center,” said Wenger, who converted Thierry Henry from a winger to one of the best strikers of his generation.

“Most of the time, you develop a good technique on the flanks as a winger because you are against the line and you have to dribble. And when you are inside, you have a bit more room.”

Slowly infused into the Premier League, the “false nine” isn’t so popular among the top teams in Europe’s top leagues at the moment.

Strikers and speedy forwards are still the priority in Spain, with Barcelona (Luis Suarez), Real Madrid (Karim Benzema) and Atletico Madrid (Kevin Gameiro) having genuine strikers. No major team in Germany plays without a classic striker — except for the German national team itself, and that’s only the case when strikers are injured — and the phenomenon hasn’t really spread to Italy or France yet.

Okazaki a different player after Japan duty, says Ranieri Leicester City’s Shinji Okazaki is so drained when he returns from international duty with Japan he is barely recognizable from the bustling forward that played a key role in their title triumph last season, said manager Claudio Ranieri.

“I don’t know what happens, but when he comes back he is a differ-

ent person, believe me,” Ranieri told British media. “He needs to recover. He is not a machine where you put in the money and he starts to run.”

Okazaki featured in Japan’s 2018 World Cup qualifying win over Iraq on Oct. 6 but did not play against Australia five days later.

The 30-year-old sat out Leicester’s defeat to Chelsea on his return to England then came on as a late substitute in the Champions League before starting in their last two Premier League games against Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur.

Vettel rage due to Ferrari frustration, say rivals

Satria Bird Market

DENPASAR - Satria Bird Market is located in the city centre, at Veteran Sreet, approximately 300 meters north of Catur Muka (four face) statue. This colorful and often noisy market is not for the weak hearted. Come here only if seeing birds and other animals in small, and sometimes cruel cages, do not bother you.

Always more than happy to show you their best birds, the various shop owners will of course want you to buy one!

Often, you will come across other small animals such as monkeys, squirrels, small wild cats and other unidentifiable animals from the heart of the dark jungles of Indonesia. This interesting place enables one to see some of the quickly disappearing animals of Indonesia. (IBP/net)

MEXICO CITY - Sebastian Vettel’s expletive-laden radio rants betray his frustration at Ferrari’s fading form, according to his former Red Bull team mate Daniel Ricciardo and predecessor Fernando Alonso.

Four-times world champion Vettel turned the air blue in Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix, directing some of the abuse at Formula One race director Charlie Whiting in an outburst that some in the paddock compared to slapping a soccer referee.

It was not the first time this season that the German has let rip over the airwaves with bleeped-out swear words broadcast worldwide.

He called McLaren’s Alonso, a double world champion who left Ferrari in 2014 when Vettel arrived from Red Bull, an ‘idiot’ in free practice at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

The Spaniard laughed off the insult by saying Vettel was “living a very frustrating period for himself and for Ferrari, so we have to forgive him”.

Much of his ire has been aimed at Max Verstappen, Ricciardo’s team mate, and he had plenty to shout about on Sunday after the Dutch teenager cut a corner while defending against Vettel and refused to give up the place.

Verstappen, who has annoyed plenty of other drivers, suggested Vettel go back to school to improve

his language.

Ricciardo, who also clashed with Vettel and inherited third place when the German was demoted post-race, said his former team mate was under pressure.

“He’s shown in the past he can be quite emotional but this year it seems to be a bit more,” the Australian told reporters.

“He’s obviously a bit frustrated with how the season’s gone, he probably thought that maybe they had a chance to fight Mercedes but it hasn’t worked like that.”

Vettel won three races last year but Ferrari have drawn a blank in 2016 and been overtaken by Red Bull in the battle for second place behind Mercedes.

“Some things we’ve seen in the past, Seb gets a bit frustrated but it’s probably been a bit more uncharacteristic this year, probably been a bit too much,” said Ricciardo.

He said drivers had to be more sensible than just “squirting a whole lot of stuff” over the radio.

“Trust me, I would say twice as much,” Ricciardo smiled. “But I do, a lot of the time, wait and maybe say a few things to myself and press the radio button. (rtr)

Jockey Kerrin McEvoy (L), riding the horse Almandin, wins the Melbourne Cup ahead of second-placed Heartbreak City at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, Australia, November 1, 2016.

MELBOURNE - German import Almandin won a thrilling sprint to the line to claim the A$6.2 million ($4.75 million) Melbourne Cup at Flemington Racecourse on Tuesday.

Roared on by a festive crowd of more than 100,000 people, Almandin emerged at the final turn to haul in Heartbreak City by a neck at the end of the gruelling two-mile handicap.

It gave local businessman Lloyd Williams a record fifth Melbourne Cup as an owner and jockey Kerrin McEvoy his second trumph after his win on Brew in 2000.

The seven-year-old gelding’s Australian trainer Robert Hickmott also claimed his second Cup in its 156th running, having prepared 2012 winner Green Moon.

“Jeez, he travelled well,” McEvoy said from the saddle, having timed the 11-1 shot’s run to perfection.

“How lucky am I, mate? The elation is just unreal.

“Just a dream, mate, to win my second Cup. It’s just a dream come true. I love these staying races, I love the Melbourne Cup.” McEvoy set a record for the longest gap between Cup wins for a jockey and his triumph came less than a week before his wife Cathy

Payne, the sister of last year’s winning jockey Michelle Payne, was due to have their fourth child.

“Cathy’s at home, love you guys, hope you didn’t cheer too loudly and the baby popped out,” the 36-year-old said.

Heartbreak City, ridden by Hong Kongbased Brazilian Joao Moreira, was a gallant runner-up after leaping from barrier 23.

Trained by Irishman Tony Martin, the sevenyear-old gelding was the first to bolt for the line and all but captured Australia’s richest horse racing prize before conceding at the line.

“He didn’t break my heart, he tried 120 percent,” said Moreira.

“I’m very proud of the horse. If you look at him you wouldn’t think he was that good, but when he went at the end he showed what he was capable of.

“From the 50 (metre mark), I knew my horse was getting weak, he started getting tired, and the other one had a little bit left and he got me at the line.”

Favourite Hartnell finished third, continuing the frustrations of the powerful Godolphin stable which had five entrants in the field of 24. (rtr)

Trump raises specter of crisis if Clinton wins the White House

GRAND RAPIDS - R epublican presidential candidate Donald Trump called Democratic rival Hillary Clinton a threat to the country on Monday, saying that if she is elected a probe into her emails could shadow her entire term in office, as the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Clinton’s lead narrowing slightly.

“The investigation will last for years. The trial will probably start,” Trump told a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan. “Nothing will get done. I can tell you, your jobs will continue to leave Michigan.

Nothing’s going to get done.”

The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Friday said it was investigating newly discovered emails that might relate to Clinton’s use

of a private email server when she was secretary of state.

Clinton on Monday again said she was confident that the FBI would not find anything problematic in her emails and would reach the same conclusion they did earlier this year.

“It wasn’t even a close call,” she said at a rally in Cincinnati, Ohio, of the FBI investigation.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appears at a campaign rally in Warren, Michigan U.S. October 31, 2016.

But just eight days ahead of the election - a time when candidates typically feel that the hard work of the campaign is behind them - both Clinton and Trump have ratcheted up their attacks on the other’s character and fitness for office.

Clinton, who had been riding high in opinion polls in recent weeks as Trump was hit by fallout from the release of a 2005 video in which he bragged in vulgar terms of groping women, now finds herself on the defensive.

Trump is hoping to convince voters that electing Clinton would prompt “a constitutional crisis that

we cannot afford,” as her emails would be subject to years of controversy, in the wake of the FBI’s announcement on Friday that it continues to investigate material possibly related to her emails.

Clinton on Monday continued to level attacks against Trump’s ability to control nuclear weapons.

“I am running against someone who says he doesn’t understand why we can’t use nuclear weapons,” she said in Cincinnati. “He wants more countries to have nuclear weapons.

“I wonder if he even knows that

a single nuclear warhead can kill millions of people,” she added.

Little is publicly known yet about the emails being investigated, other than that they were found during an unrelated probe into the estranged husband of a top Clinton aide.

FBI Director James Comey told members of Congress on Friday the agency was probing more emails that might relate to Clinton’s use of a private email server, but added, “We don’t know the significance of this newly discovered collection of emails.” (rtr)

U.S. stopped Philippines rifle sale that senator opposed

REUTERS/Romeo Ranoco/File Photo

A U.S. Navy Vessels Board Search and Seizure (VBSS) member aims an automatic rifle while Filipino sailors holding dummy guns observe during the Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) 2015 exercises on board the USS Fort Worth (LCS 3) docked at the harbour in Puerto Princesa city, Palawan, west Philippines June 23, 2015.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. State Department halted the planned sale of some 26,000 assault rifles to the Philippines’ national police after Senator Ben Cardin said he would oppose it, Senate aides told Reuters on Monday.

Aides said Cardin, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was reluctant for the United States to provide the weapons given concerns about human rights violations in the Philippines.

The relationship between the United States and the Philippines, a long-time ally, has been complicated lately by President Rodrigo Duterte’s angry reaction to criticism from Washington of his violent battle to rid the country of illegal drugs.

More than 2,300 people have been killed in police operations or by suspected vigilantes in connection with the anti-narcotics campaign since Duterte took office on June 30.

The U.S. State Department informs Congress when international weapons sales are in the works. Aides said Foreign Relations committee staff informed State that Cardin would oppose the deal during the department’s prenotification process for the sale of 26,000-27,000 assault rifles, stopping the deal.

State Department officials did not comment.

Earlier this month, Duterte told U.S. President Barack Obama to “go to hell” and said the United States had refused to sell some weapons to his country, but he did not care because Russia and China were willing suppliers.

According to some U.S. officials, Washington has been doing its best to ignore Duterte’s rhetoric and not provide him with a pretext for more outbursts.

An open break with Manila could create problems for the United States in a region where China’s influence has grown. (rtr)

Indonesia Today

HONG KONG — Private and official surveys showed Tuesday that China’s factory activity rose last month to its highest level in more than two years, suggesting the world’s No. 2 economy is stabilizing. companies. Despite the improved readings, official analysts fretted that weak demand from customers in major overseas markets was a drag on China’s factories.

“Owing to the global economy’s feeble recovery, the import and export situation is still grim,” said Zhao Qinghe, an analyst at the National Bureau of Statistics.

In another hopeful sign for China’s economy, activity in the services sector firmed up as the official non-manufacturing PMI ticked up to 54.0 last month from 53.7 previously.

Taken together, the numbers suggest improvement in the wider economy, said Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics.

“Overall, today’s data are unambiguously upbeat and consistent with broader evidence that the economy is currently in the midst of a cyclical recovery,” EvansPritchard said in a research note. He added that he expects the recovery to hold up until early next year but is likely to stall after that as the effects of recent stimulus fade.(ap)

UK factories keep up strong growth, inflation pressure builds -PMI

LONDON - Britain’s factory sector maintained most of its robust growth last month after a weaker pound boosted exports, though this

also fuelled inflation, according to a survey that underscored the impact on the economy of June’s Brexit vote.

“Lost Soldiers”, an installation by artist Mark Humphrey is photographed, in Canary Wharf, London, Sunday, Oct. 30, 2016. The piece is part of the UK’s first Remembrance Art Trail, in association with the Royal British Legion.

The Markit/CIPS Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) slowed slightly to 54.3 from an upwardly revised 55.5 in September, which was its highest level in more than two years.

“The UK manufacturing sector remained on a firm footing in October and should return to growth in the fourth quarter,” Rob Dobson, an economist at compiler Markit said.

Data has already shown that Britain’s economy fared much better than expected by the Bank of England and economists in the three months after the June 23 decision to take the country out of the European Union.

The BoE is widely expected to hold off from a fresh interest rate cut on Thursday, in view of the economy’s resilience so far since the vote and the nearly 20 percent fall in the value of the pound

against the dollar.

“It looks as if the manufacturing sector’s fortunes improved at the beginning of the fourth quarter,” Capital Economics analyst Paul Hollingsworth said, saying the figures pointed to quarterly growth for the sector of 1 percent versus a 1 percent contraction in the previous quarter.

Markit said the slump in sterling had boosted exports by manufacturers in October, although they showed a little bit less growth than in September and domestic demand was also strong. Others were less upbeat.

“We continue to expect manufactures to struggle to capitalise on the weak pound in the near term, given the usual delays involved in finding new business, renegotiating contracts and investing in extra capacity,” Pantheon Macroeconomics’s Samuel Tombs said.

Markit said the inflationary

impact of the weaker currency was also becoming increasingly evident. Import prices showed one of the steepest rises in purchasing costs in the near 25-year history of the survey.

Around 90 percent of companies offering a reason for increased costs made some reference to the sterling exchange rate, Markit said. Factory gate prices rose at the steepest pace since mid-2011.

“If signs of ongoing solid output expansion and rising price pressures are also experienced elsewhere in the economy, the chances of a further cut in interest rates before year-end are virtually nil,” Dobson said.

The fall in sterling is expected to push the BoE to raise its inflation forecasts on Thursday to show a bigger overshoot of its price target than at any time since it gained independence in 1997.(rtr)

Cattle imports must include heifers

China’s manufacturing hits 2-year high as demand perks up The Caixin monthly purchasing managers’ index climbed to 51.2 in October from 50.1 the previous month. The report found that production grew at its fastest pace in more than five years as strong domestic demand more than offset a slight drop in new export orders.

A separate index compiled by the official Chinese Federation of Logistics & Purchasing found a similar pick-up in output and new orders helped push the reading to 51.2 last month from 50.4 in September. Both indexes are at their highest since July 2014. They are based on 100-point scales on which the 50 mark separates expansion from contraction.

Data on China’s huge manufacturing industry, which employs many millions of workers, is closely watched for indications on the state of the broader economy, which last year expanded at its slowest rate in a quarter century.

Caixin’s survey focuses on smaller, private enterprises while the federation’s report gives more weighting to large, state-owned

JAKARTA - The leader of an opposition party in Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, has expressed his commitment to help President Joko Widodo with his inputs and views for the sake of the Unitary State of Indonesia.

“Thank God, he (President Jokowi) is open (to suggestions and feedback). I have expressed my commitment and said I am ready any time if I need to provide any inputs to help build the country together,” the general chairman of the Great Indonesia Movement Party

(Gerindra) said after receiving the President at his private residence in the village of Bojong Koneng, Hambalang, Bogor, West Java, on Monday.

Prabowo informed that the president sought his views on national security issues, including

JAKARTA - In its efforts to encourage cattle production at home and reduce imports which last year still reached 36 percent of domestic needs, the government requires importers to include heifers in their feedlot cow imports.

The Trade Ministry and the Agriculture Ministry will soon draft a technical guidance for the cattle importation scheme which requires the inclusion of mother cows. The government will audit the number of heifers included in the importation of feedlot cattle at the end of 2018.

“At the end of 2018, the number of heifers that companies have imported would be audited. It should reach 20 percent of their total imports. If importers are allowed to import 123,800 feedlot cows at the end of this year, there should be between 24,000 and 26,000 heifers at the end of 2018,” Director General for Internal Trade of the Ministry of Trade Oke Nurwan, said in Jakarta, Friday (Oct. 28).

At home there are now 32 feedlot companies -- or about 75 percent of all feedlot firms which had the commitment to import cattle based on the Agriculture Ministers Regulation No.49/2016, Director General of External Trade of the Ministry of Trade Dody Edward said on the occasion.

“Now, a total of 32 companies already have the commitment.

We have issued a license for the import of 123,800 feedlot cows (with the obligation to include heifers). We know there are about 46 feedlot companies. About 75 percent of them have had the commitment. Ahead, we want the number of those having the commitment to also import heifers to increase,” Dody said.

The government has recently changed its feedlot cattle importation scheme policy. So far, feedlot imports carried out to meet the peoples need for protein reached about 600 thousand heads of cows per annum. Now it requires the inclusion of mother cows in the importation scheme in an effort to increase production at home.

The new importation scheme is contained in the Agriculture Ministers Regulation No. 49 Year of 2016 on Large Ruminant Importation into the Territory of the Republic of Indonesia.

The Ministry of Agriculture requires cattle importers to also include mother cows in their imports. Companies should import one heifer in five feedlot cows (1:5 ratio) while breeder cooperative importers are required to bring in one mother cow in 10 feedlot cattle imports. (ant)

Motorcycle gang harms a car of nephew of former local military official

DENPASAR - Members of motorcycle gang took action on Jalan Menuh, Kereneng, North Denpasar, Saturday (Oct. 29).

The motorcycle gang consisting of dozens of people surrounded the car of a Warmadewa University medical student, I Dewa Gede Abiseka, 20, and broke rear windshield of his Honda Jazz car. Moreover, the nephew of the former official of the IX / Udayana Regional Military Command was threatened with a sword. Fortunately, the victim managed to escape and went straight to his uncle’s house at Sudirman dormitory, Denpasar.

Information in the field told that the victim living on Jalan Morotai, Denpasar, at 22:00 just left college and passed at the scene. At that time, many motorcycle gang members were seen sitting at roadside and in a drunken condition. For no reason, one of the gang members approached the victim and asked him to stop. Moreover, the victim was threatened by a sword.

“Because of being threatened, the victim was afraid and did not want to stop. However, he drove his car slowly,” said the source, Monday (Oct. 31).

Since the victim did not want to stop, the motorcycle gang members were increasingly violent. They tried to stop the pace of the car, where a motorcycle gang member with the initial Yg, 18, hit the rear windshield alleged to use a sword to shatter. Meanwhile, the other climbed up to the hood of the car while brandishing a sharp weapon.

Realizing that his life was threatened, the victim immediately stepped on the gas and left the scene. He went straight to his uncle’s residence at the Sudirman dormitory on Jalan PB Sudirman Denpasar and informed the incident. “The motorcycle gang immediately fled. As information,

there were some motorcycle gang members at the scene. Maybe they wanted to have a brawl, and when the victim passed at the scene he became a target,” said the source asking for anonymity.

“Family of the victim would like to resolve this issue amicably. But we would like to find out the culprit first. Victim’s car has been secured at the military headquarters,” said Commander of the 1611/Badung Military District, M. Leo Pola Ardiansa.

Related to the incident, he immediately ordered his members to find out the perpetrator, including the members of the motorcycle gang.

“We’ve been calling dozens of high school students of SMA Dwijendra high school for questioning at the military district headquarters. They are the members of motorcycle gang at the scene,” he said.

Results of interrogation, said the commander, led to the student with initial Sz, a third-grade student of the SMA Dwijendra.

Sz was directly summoned, but he avoided and even claimed to protect the victim from the attack of his friends. “Nevertheless, we’re still investigating his recognition.

Some witnesses saw him (Sz— Ed) mounting onto the hood of the victim’s car,” said Leo.

S.Korean prosecutors arrest woman at centre of political crisis

SEOUL - The woman at the centre of a scandal that has plunged the South Korean presidency into crisis was held for a second day on Tuesday after being detained overnight to answer allegations of exerting inappropriate influence in state affairs.

The car that was damaged by the gang in Denpasar Sz even mentioned that his friend, Yo, 18, who smashed the victim’s car. Currently, the members of the Military District Command are deployed to hunt Yo. The officers had visited the house of Yo at Yangbatu, Denpasar.

However, the officers could only meet the mother of Yo and immediately taken to military district headquarters.

“Her mother said that Yo has not gone home for two months. Father

of Yo already died and Yo no longer attends school. As the information, Yo is now living in Kuta and we are still searching,” he said.

Related to the incident, the commander said that to keep the public order and security of Denpasar, the municipal government should be involved. According to him, people cannot rely on police and military. Moreover, the crime rate in Denpasar area is high.

“Do not take action like a fire

The mayor must see this condition and deploy his ranks such as the municipal police to jointly patrol in order to maintain public security and order. In addition, Jalan Kamboja and surrounding area is vulnerable so that it should be installed with CCTV. It is better to prevent and the Denpasar municipality must find solutions to overcome this motorcycle gang,” said. (kmb36)

Prosecutors have said they are investigating whether Choi Soonsil used her friendship with President Park Geun-hye to gain access to classified documents that enabled her to influence government matters and benefited personally through non-profit foundations.

The growing scandal has sparked public anger and sent Park’s approval rating to a record low, with thousands of protestors gathered in Seoul on Saturday night calling for her to step down. Park accepted the resignations of eight of her top aides over the weekend.

Choi, 60, arrived at the prosecutor’s office on Tuesday morning in handcuffs and a surgical mask and wearing a dark coat, escorted by correctional officers. A prosecution official and her laywer said she had been detained late on Monday.

Although Choi was being questioned at another location, a man used a heavy construction excavator to smash the front entrance of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office building in Seoul, injuring a security guard, in an apparent act of protest against Choi. He was arrested by police.

According to Han Jeung-sub, a

senior official at the Seocho Police Station, the 45-year-old man told police: “Choi Soon-sil said she had committed a crime she deserves to die for, so I came here to help her die.”

Prosecutors have asked eight banks for documents related to Choi’s financial transactions, South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported, citing unnamed financial industry officials.

Worried that Choi may be a flight risk and could destroy evidence, prosecutors placed her under emergency detention without a warrant late on Monday, Yonhap reported. Under local law, a suspect can be held without a warrant for up to 48 hours.

Prosecutors planned to file a court request for an arrest warrant on Wednesday, Yonhap and other media said, citing a prosecution official. Prosecutors were not immediately available for comment.

Choi told South Korea’s Segye Ilbo newspaper last week that she received drafts of Park’s speeches after Park’s election victory but denied she had access to other official material, or that she influenced state affairs or benefited financially. (rtr)

NEGARA - Traffic condition of the Denpasar-Gilimanuk national road precisely at the Dangin Tukadaya Bridge, Dangin Tukadaya village, Jembrana, was very crowded on Monday afternoon (Oct. 31).

One lane was temporarily closed due to the bridge is being repaired after collapsing in the middle.

The repair is estimated to take place until next few weeks. As the observation on Monday, the workmanship caused traffic congestion during the maneuvering process of heavy equipment such as pile drill.

The process took almost two hours and had an impact on congestion along three kilometers. During the process, open-close system was applied by only opening single

lane of the emergency bridge on the north side. Other than bridge workmanship, traffic crowdedness was also triggered by sidewalk repair on Jalan Gajah Mada. From the observation, vehicles from Denpasar queued starting from the east end of the bridge along two kilometers.

Conversely, from west direction or Gilimanuk, the queue occurred from Keladian four-way intersection to Tegalasih hamlet. Crowded condition also occurred at the hero statue intersection at Batuagung.

A number of vehicles from the south and the north were stuck in the middle of the intersection due to traffic jam.

Supervisor of the national road

authority (BPJN) VIII, I Made Darsa, told reporters that the workmanship process interfering with the traffic is estimated to occur until some days to come. Maneuver process of heavy equipment taking wide space requires the operation of single lane at the emergency bridge. Currently the project is still operating pile drill at both sides of the bridge. Furthermore, it will be resumed with the installation of iron and Glider pad. He added that concrete beams are still being ordered in Surabaya.

According to him, the project implementer is often constrained by natural conditions, namely heavy rain accompanied with overflow of river water. (kmb26)

Tata Group Chairman Cyrus Mistry speaks to shareholders during the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) annual general meeting in Mumbai, India June 28, 2013.

MUMBAI- The bitter public feud between the Tata family, which controls India’s most respected conglomerate, and its now ousted chairman Cyrus Mistry has created an unwelcome stir in the tiny Parsi community to which both sides belong.

There are only about 58,000 Parsis in India, a nation of 1.2 billion people. Yet, the community has included some of India’s biggest business names, its top nuclear scientists, world-class musicians and several senior military officers including the country’s first field-marshal.

Parsis are also known for maintaining their privacy.

“They should have settled this between themselves instead of what has happened so publicly,” said a Parsi woman stepping out

of the community’s fire temple in downtown Mumbai.

The row between Ratan Tata, family patriarch of the sprawling $100 billion salt-to-steel Tata Sons empire, and Cyrus Mistry, a scion of the billionaire Shapoorji Pallonji clan, erupted in public last week.

Both families are pillars of the Parsi community, comprised of descendants of Persians who first landed in India in the ninth century.

Tata Sons announced on Oct 24 that Mistry had been removed as chairman of the company. Sources close to the company said Mistry’s corporate strategy was seen as transgressing the core Parsi value of working for the greater common good.

A five-page e-mail response from Mistry to the Tata board was leaked two days later, con-

taining scathing criticism of the company’s corporate governance practices and Ratan Tata’s role in some of the company’s costliest errors. The two sides have traded barbs on a near-daily basis since then.

While business spats are not uncommon in India’s financial capital Mumbai, the public allegations of malfeasance and the central role of two billionaire Parsis has not gone down well in the community.

“I would say Cyrus, walk out with a little dignity and self respect. Don’t wash dirty linen in public. Don’t make the press your playground. Fight battles inside boardrooms,” said Rumi Behram Balsara, a second generation shareholder in some Tata group companies. (rtr)

China debuts J-20 stealth jet in show of strength at country’s biggest air expo

ZHUHAI - China showed its Chengdu J-20 stealth fighter in public for the first time on Tuesday, opening the country’s biggest meeting of aircraft makers and buyers with a show of its military clout.

underline its defence ambitions.

China is set to overtake the U.S. as the world’s top aviation market in the next decade.

Two J-20 jets, Zhuhai’s headline act, swept over dignitaries and hundreds of spectators and industry executives gathered at the show’s opening ceremony in a flypast that barely exceeded a minute, generat-

ing a deafening roar that was met with gasps and applause and set off car alarms in a parking lot at the site.

Experts say China has been refining designs for the J-20, first glimpsed by planespotters in 2010, in the hope of narrowing a military technology gap with the United States.

President Xi Jinping has pushed to toughen the armed forces as China takes a more assertive stance in Asia, particularly in the South China and East China seas.

“It is clearly a big step forward in Chinese combat capability,” said Bradley Perrett of Aviation Week, a veteran China watcher.

It was China’s second successive display of a new stealth jet at the biennial Zhuhai show, following the 2014 debut of the J-31. (rtr)

US approves 2 types of genetically engineered potatoes

Nicolas Champouret/J.R. Simplot Company via AP

This 2013 photo taken at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mich., and supplied by J.R. Simplot Company shows wilted conventional potato plants without resistance to the pathogen that caused the Irish potato famine on the left next to surviving rows of J.R. Simplot Co.’s genetically engineered potato plants that resist the disease.

BOISE — The U.S. Department of Agriculture has approved commercial planting of two types of potatoes that are genetically engineered to resist the pathogen that caused the Irish potato famine.

The approval announced Friday covers Idaho-based J.R. Simplot Co.’s Ranger Russet and Atlantic varieties of the company’s second generation of Innate potatoes.

The company says the potatoes will also have reduced bruising and black spots, enhanced storage capacity, and a reduced amount of a chemical created when potatoes are cooked at high temperatures that’s a potential carcinogen.

“We obviously are very proud of these,” said company spokesman Doug Cole.

The potatoes next must clear a voluntary review process through the Food and Drug Administration as well as get the OK from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The company says it expects those approvals in January with the potatoes entering the market next spring.

The two varieties join a third

variety with the same traits called the Russet Burbank that has already attained approval from the Agriculture Department and FDA, with EPA approval also expected in January.

The company said the potatoes contain only potato genes, and that the resistance to late blight, the disease that caused the Irish potato famine, comes from an Argentinian variety of potato that naturally produced a defense.

Late blight continues to be a major problem for potato growers around the world, especially in wetter regions. Company officials say the new types of potatoes will bring 24-hour protections to farmers’ fields and reduce the use of pesticide spray up to 45 percent.

The reduction in bruising, Cole said, could reduce waste and increase by 15 percent the top-quality potatoes coming out of fields, which sell for more than bruised potatoes.

Cole said the new varieties of potatoes can be kept in cold storage longer. Conventional potatoes can turn a dark color when cooked after they were kept cold for too long.

The enhanced cold storage could have significant ramifications for the potato chip industry by reducing trucking costs, Cole said.

The company’s second generation of Innate potatoes follows the first generation that has been selling to consumers for more than a year.

Those potatoes, marketed under the White Russet label, have reduced bruising and reduced potential carcinogens when cooked, but not resistance to late blight or enhanced cold storage.

Cole said about 40 million pounds of the first generation potatoes have been sold to consumers in more than 35 states. He said that’s about 1 percent of all potato sales. Of the 40 million pounds, he said about two-thirds went to produce sections of stores.

There is no evidence that genetically modified organisms, known as GMOs, are unsafe to eat, but for some people, altering the genetic code of foods presents an ethical issue. McDonald’s has rejected using Simplot’s first generation of Innate potatoes for its French fries. (rtr)

Tourism is vulnerable to security and health issues so that it must be anticipated if there are issues on safety and health that might occur in the future.

Bali tourism prone to security and health issues

DENPASAR - Bali tourism is vulnerable to health and safety issues being necessary to be anticipated from spreading. Tourist arrival in Bali remains high so that it is expected to be properly maintained.

Based on cumulative data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Bali, the number of foreign tourists visiting In-

donesia during the period of January-August 2016 reached 7.36 million visits, an increase of 8.39 percent when compared

to the number of foreign travelers in the same period last year, amounting to 6.79 million visits.

However, when compared to the period of August to July 2016, foreign tourist visit decreased by 0.07 percent.

Tourism Marketing Division Head of the Bali Tourism Office,

Nyoman Wardawan, assessed that both foreign and domestic tourist visits will be high as along as Bali could create security and comfort. “It is important for Bali so that travelers are willing and want to come to Bali,” he said.

He said that tourism is vulnerable to security and health issues

so that it must be anticipated if there are issues on safety and health that might occur in the future. “We have to anticipate so as not to spread everywhere by making early prevention. As a result, tourist destination remains to be visited by travelers,” he said. (may)

MSMEs weak in financial reports DENPASAR - In managing their business, the major issues faced by the MSMEs are weakness in financial reports and the absence of documentation so that they will find difficulty in accessing capital to banks.

“It is impossible for submitting proposal orally. For instance, if the MSMEs are talking about turnover worth IDR 2 billion, without

evidence they may be feasible but not bankable,” said Iman Causa Karana, Chief Representative Officer of Bank Indonesia (BI) for Bali region, recently.

Therefore, he encouraged the MSMEs to be bankable ranging from documentation to reporting of business activities. “For example, how many cows are sold, how much do they cost and how much

could they be sold? All must be reported so that there is evidence but all this time there are only oral reports,” he explained.

Likewise, the MSMEs face productivity constraints. If raising cattle, they must cooperate with the livestock agency and if they are farming they must cooperate with the agriculture agency.

To overcome these constraints,

BI launched Si Apik (financial reporting administration system) application that can be downloaded on the play store. This financial reporting application can be taken advantage by a wide variety of business sectors.

“The reports contain how many sales are made and how much cost is expended. Automatically it will be created the balance of transac-

tion. It is very simple,” he said.

Hopefully, the MSMEs could apply the reporting system as administrative evidence of their business that can be used to access capital and meet the requirement needed by bank. “Sometimes they (MSMEs) forget to make a report,” he added. Since the application was launched mid-2016, it has obtained rating of 4. (may)

Wayang...

From page 1

Currently, the reconstruction process has entered the stage of training. The lack of old dancers caused the process to be halting because the remaining senior dancers have been elderly. Finally, the Karangasem Culture and Tourism Agency with the ISI Denpasar began by exploring the stories of puppet characters frequently used as the basic storyline. At the end, it was obtained some titles, such as the ‘Kumbakarna Seized’ or ‘the Death of Kumbakarna.’ “From this basic story, the ISI Denpasar drafts the pattern of story, adjusts the characterization and creates dance movement. It is part of our duty, namely discovering, preserving and developing,” said Sukasari.

He said that training process has been going on within the past recent months. After agreeing a story idea, there are about 20 dancers of new generation of successful local residents that can be involved in the composition. Local people are very excited to welcome the reconstruction process of the wayang wong.

Since the past, local residents have wished to have a new regeneration that could revive and resume the sacred dance heritage to support a variety of sacred rituals at local village. “We must be willing to wait for them till evening because local residents are only ready to have training at night. From morning till evening, they were busy at work,” said Sukasari.

In the past, the wayang wong dance was often performed as sacred dance to support various rituals at Ban village such as at Puseh Temple or other temples at Ban village. Regeneration is hard to find because most young generations of local residents have worked in diaspora.

Particularly in Karangasem, a number of villages in other subdistricts such as Wates in Selat, Selumbung in Manggis and Pempatan at Rendang are also still working hard to preserve the wayang wong drama. Masks and the equipment are still stored and well maintained. Moreover, the wayang wong in Selat subdistrict has often represented Karangasem for performances at the Bali Arts Festival or BAF.

Hog plum herbal drink at Penglipuran Served first at celebration, develops into promising business LOLOH cemcem or hog plum herbal drink is one of the traditional drinks frequently sold to visitors at Penglipuran village, Bangli. Before made into a cottage industry, this thirstquenching drink was just served by the family welfare guidance (PKK) during a celebration at local village.

Activities

When making a visit to Penglipuran village, travelers will not only see natural beauty, similar buildings and customs remaining to be looked after very well by the community. Moreover, travelers will also be pampered with fresh hog plum herbal drink, a drink processed in traditional technique.

This green herbal drink tastes sweet, sour and slightly spicy in combination with young coconut that is very suitable for a thirstquenching, especially during hot weather.

Getting this drink is not difficult.

Each stall standing at home to resident will surely offer this drink.

The price is not so expensive, you are just enough to spend at IDR 4,000 per bottle. Before peddled as today, according to one of the Penglipuran community leaders, I Nengah Sudibia, the herbal drink was initially used as a drink served

by PKK when there was a celebration at the village. “In the past, it was only made when there were events at the village. It was served for guests,” he said, not long ago.

Armed with such experience, in fact, the freshness offered by the drink made from hog plum leaves became inherent in the tongue of the audience. At the next event, it became a compulsory drink to be presented. This drink is getting more and more popular. Total audience also increased. Seeing the good prospect to bring in profits, a number of residents took the initiative to sell this herbal drinks to visiting travelers. “At first, the herbal drink was not sold in bottle but in glasses and drunk on the spot,” said Sudibia.

Seeing the growing demand, the drink gradually became the hallmark of Penglipuran village. Promotion was made to major events

by local village such as the Bali Arts Festival (BAF). In fact, such an effort worked successfully. In 2012, along with the development of Penglipuran tourism village, more people also produce herbal drink as having become a promising business. “Now, there are twelve people producing in a large enough scale. We did not think it can develop whereas it was only started from local celebration,” he explained.

The demand for hog plum herbal drink, he said, did not just come from the Bangli district alone.

However, it has expanded to other districts in Bali. Other than serving as a thirst-quenching drink, it is also taken advantage to cure various diseases. Although it has fairly well-known, local people do not stop innovating. Lately, local people also produce some variants of herbal drink namely made from turmeric and blue pea. The demand is quite a lot. “Hog plum herbal drink becomes the identity of the village. But people also continuously make other variant of the herbal drinks,” he said. (sos)

Adele says she battled depression, before and after son’s birth

LONDON - Singer Adele said in a magazine interview released on Monday that she suffered from post-partum depression after the birth of her son and had undergone therapy when younger for what she called her “very dark side.”

The British singer, who is nearing the end of a 10-month tour to mark her album “25,” told Vanity Fair in an interview for its December cover story published on its website on Monday that she would be happy if she never had to tour again.

“I’d still like to make records, but I’d be fine if I never heard (the applause) again. I’m on tour simply to see everyone who’s been so supportive. I don’t care about money,” Adele, 28, was quoted as saying.

The 10-time Grammy winner, known for heart-wrenching ballads such as “Someone Like You” and “Rolling in the Deep,” said she had always been drawn to sad music.

“I have a very dark side. I’m very available to depression.

I can slip in and out of it quite easily. It started when my granddad died, when I was about 10, and while I never had a suicidal thought, I have been in therapy, lots.

“But I haven’t had that feeling since I had my son and snapped out of my postpartum depression,” she added.

Adele gave birth to son Angelo four years ago with boyfriend Simon Konecki.

“I had really bad postpartum depression after I had my son, and it frightened me... My knowledge of postpartum — or post-natal, as we call it in England — is that you don’t want to be with your child; you’re worried you might hurt your child; you’re worried you weren’t doing a good job. But I was obsessed with my child. I felt very inadequate; I felt like I’d made the worst decision of my life. It can come in many different forms,” the singer said.

Adele acknowledged that her future songs would likely never match those she wrote for her 2011 album “21,” which has sold more than 31 million copies worldwide. (rtr) Singer Adele arrives at the 58th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California February 15, 2016.

Almost extinct, Tourism Office reconstructs wayang wong of Ban village AMLAPURA — The Karangasem Culture and Tourism Agency reconstructed wayang wong or human puppet sacred dance at Ban village, Kubu. It is necessary because the legacy of sacred dance is almost extinct. It happens because local residents have difficulty to find out regeneration of new dancers to preserve this wayang wong drama.

Cultural Division Head of the Karangasem Culture and Tourism Agency, I Gede Sukasari, when met at his office on Monday (Oct. 31) said the process of reconstruction involves the Indonesia Institute of the Arts (ISI) Denpasar. It has been carried out in past few months, involving approximately six instructors of dance and gamelan. It started by checking various masks and other equipment.

Condition of various masks and other equipment is very alarming.

It happens because the wayang wong has long not been staged, a number of masks are unkempt and almost destroyed. Fortunately, during the reconstruction process, the historical objects can still be repaired and saved.

Civilians flee their houses, as Iraq’s elite counterterrorism forces fight against Islamic State militants, in the village of Tob Zawa, about 9 kilometers (5.6 miles) from Mosul, Iraq, Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2016.

Human shields: The new ISIS strategy in Mosul

Near Bashiqa - The reports are disturbing: Tens of thousands of men, women and children snatched from their homes and forced into the center of Mosul as the battle intensifies to drive ISIS out of Iraq’s second-largest city.

The intent is sinister: Using civilians as human shields is ISIS’s attempt to hold onto the city, the jewel of its self-proclaimed caliphate.

No one expected the militants to surrender Mosul without a hellish fight. But for Iraqis still living under ISIS control in the city and surrounding areas, every option now is grim.

They can try to flee but be branded by ISIS as “apostates,” for which the penalty is death. Or

they can potentially be seen as ISIS sympathizers in a new place and risk becoming victims of revenge crimes.

They can try to hold out and survive the fierce fighting ahead.

Or they can be forced further into the heart of Mosul and serve as human shields.

It’s a horrifying prospect: be killed by ISIS or be killed in the attacks to defeat ISIS. ISIS has abducted nearly 8,000 families from districts surrounding Mosul, the

UN agency said, based on reports it has received. They were forced out at gunpoint and if they refused, they were killed.

Thousands of men, women and children were forced to walk barefoot alongside ISIS fighters as they retreated toward Mosul.

In Hamam al-Alil, an ISIS stronghold south of Mosul, the population has spiked to 60,000 from the previous 23,000, the United Nations said. Iraqi forces said they hope to storm the town soon but the high number of civilians is a definite concern.

Kurdish Peshmerga forces have the same concern in the towns and villages north and east of Mosul

that they have been clearing.

“We are taking it slowly,” said Kurdish Peshmerga Col. Abdullah Tato, whose soldiers encircled the ISIS-held town of Bashiqa, a few miles northeast of Mosul.

“We have to be careful,” Tato said. “Our biggest challenge are the civilians. We have to be patient in order to save civilian lives.”

Now, in Iraq, thousands of people could lose their lives because ISIS is forcing them into the action.

The war is raging on the rugged plains of Nineveh; in the houses, schools and mosques of towns and villages. Soon fighting will erupt in the heart of Mosul, a far more

densely populated place. No one knows exactly how many people are still living there but it could be more than 1 million.

The city has been a prison for its residents for more than two years under ISIS. Now, with the extremist group amassing people around its fighters, Mosul could tragically become a graveyard.(rtr) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.
