‘Divergent’ star tops People’s Choice nominees Agence France-Presse

LOS ANGELES - Rising Hollywood star Shailene Woodley -- the face of “Divergent” and “The Fault in Our Stars” -- topped big-screen nominations for the People’s Choice awards announced Tuesday with four nods.

Brad Pitt, Robert Downey Jr, Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson were among those shortlisted in the favorite movie actor and actress categories.

On the music front, British soul sensation Sam Smith dominated with four nominations for the awards, which will be given out in Los Angeles on January 7.

Woodley -- whose turn in “Divergent” echoed Jennifer Lawrence’s star-making role in the “Hunger Games” films -- scored nods for favorite movie duo both in “Divergent” and “The Fault in Our Stars,” as well as favorite action movie actress and favorite dramatic movie actress.

For favorite movie, the nominees are “22 Jump Street,” “Captain America: The Winter

Soldier,” “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Maleficent,” and “X-Men: Days of Future Past.”

Favorite film actor nominees are Pitt, Downey Jr, Channing Tatum, Hugh Jackman and Mark Wahlberg, while up for favorite actress are Jolie, Johansson, Lawrence, Emma Stone and Melissa McCarthy.

On the small screen, three shows are nominated in five categories each: “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Supernatural” and “The Vampire Diaries,” according to People’s Choice organizers.

Favorite TV show nominees are “The Big Bang Theory,” “Game Of Thrones,” “NCIS,” “Once Upon a Time” and “The Walking Dead.”

On the music side of things, Britain’s Smith was nominated for favorite male artist along with Blake Shelton, Ed Sheeran, John Legend and “Happy” singer Pharrell Williams.

Favorite female artists nominees were Beyonce, Iggy Azalea, Katy Perry, Sia and Taylor Swift. Nominations are based on some 70 million votes cast by fans.

LOS ANGELES - As Americans went to the polls for mid-term elections Tuesday, Angelina Jolie revealed that she is open to a possible role in politics, diplomacy or public service.

The A-list star, who is already known for her humanitarian work on various causes, wondered aloud whether she would better achieve her aims as an actress or in another role.

“When you work as a humanitarian, you are conscious that politics have to be considered,” she told Vanity Fair in a cover story.

“Because if you really want to make an extreme change, then you have a responsibility,” she added, before saying: “But I honestly don’t know in what role I would be more useful -- I am conscious of what I do for a living, and that (could) make it less possible.”

Asked directly if she could pursue a life in politics, diplomacy or public service, she replied: “I am open.” She gave no more details.

Since 2012 Jolie has traveled on more than 40 missions around the world as a special envoy for the United Nations Refugee Agency. Last year Jolie was awarded an honorary Oscar for her humanitarian work.

Last month the star of such Hollywood films as “Tomb Raider” and “Maleficent” was made an honorary dame for her work combatting sexual violence. Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II presented the award at London’s

Buckingham Palace.

Jolie’s directorial debut feature, 2011’s Golden Globe-nominated “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” was set against the background of the early 1990s Bosnian war.

Her upcoming film, “Unbroken,” is about Olympian and World War II POW survivor Louis Zamperini. It will be released on December 25 in the United States.

Jolie will next direct a “sweeping epic” film about veteran Kenyan conservationist Richard Leakey’s fight with ivory poachers, the studio behind the movie announced in September.

Fight for Injustice

ForBali held cultural parade Bali Post

Cultural parade to reject the reclamation plan in Benoa Bay was carried out in Bajra Sandhi Monument in Renon, Denpasar on Tuesday, November 4, 2014. The parade was done by hundreds of people from Balinese who Reject Reclamation Plan (ForBali).

They carried many kinds of performance done in front of Governor Office in Renon such as giant puppet of rat. The members of ForBali gave their opinions in front of the office. They stated that the reclamation is not beneficially for the people.

“Let’s fight injustice. Don’t let bad investors pile up Bali. The

tourists are coming not because the hotels or villas but because the nature and culture,” said one of the member from Jembrana. The coordinator of Kuta Perjuangan, Gung Jhon stated that the rat puppet was used to show that the government officers are like the animal.

“The rat is also the symbol of greedy investors who are trying

to eat away everything from the island. However, eventually we want the people power will win,” he added. The giant rat puppet was placed on top of giant hand and a bulldozer.

The spokesman of ForBali, Suriadi Darmoko said that the action was taken to demand the effort to carry out the reclamation in Benoa

Bay is canceled. They also asked the commitment from the President Joko Widodo to prevent the plan.

“We urged the president to cancel the regulation no 51 year 2014 because it against the other rule that protects the coastal area in Indonesia so the reclamation plan must be canceled,” he added.

All ministries also urged to stop the process to publish the license of the reclamation.

Musician

There were also several musicians who give their opinion

through singing. “The policy of reclamation is not beneficially for Bali. Benoa Bay is a conservation area and must be protected,” said the personnel of Nosstress Gumawarma.

Another musician, Agha stated that the reclamation plan is not suitable with the balance way of life. He thinks that people should take care of the nature and not the other way around. “By reclamation, we will not protect the nature.

There is great hope that the new government can reject this plan,” he added. (kmb32)

Water crisis getting more serious

IBP/Sri Wiadnyana

The toffee makers in Klungkung are having trouble in finding the proper ingredient for their product

Toffee makers at Besan confused

Demand is high, ingredient hard to get Semarapura (Bali Post)—

Evidently the dry season of the last few months is benefiting the majority of small businesses in the Klungkung region. One such business is the snakefruit and jackfruit toffee maker at Kawan hamlet, Besan village, Dawan. Minimal rainfall actually facilitates the toffee production at the local village. The jackfruit and snakefruit toffee makers at Besan village are even having trouble producing enough toffee, as the demand for toffee has begun to soar for the past month. and processed into toffee. Once cooked, all the toffee ingredients were then dried in the sun. The drying process is admittedly quite long. But with the current drought conditions, the drying process runs for about six days. “During rainy season, it usually takes longer, and the results are not as good with risk of molding,” said Pure.

Another toffee producer, Nyoman Yuliastuti faces similar challenges. She claimed to be able to make 2,500 toffees each day.

However, the number of toffees produced per day depends on the availability of the ingredients and the demand. If the ingredient are available, then we could make toffee. She also said that she trouble meeting the increasing demand from Denpasar last month.

The water crisis hitting residents in the barren regions of Karangasem is getting more severe. Residents purchasing water are forced to stand in line. According to one of the local residents, Komang Suparta, Monday (Nov 3), his family had ordered water but after five days no water had come.

Suparta from the southeast foot of Mount Agung said that his village had four towers whose water was worth IDR 150,000 was transported there by truck.. Another Butus resident, Nyoman Pasar, said that he purchased water IDR 140,000 worth of water for four towers. “For other people living at a greater distance and in difficult terrain, the price of water is higher.

At Nangka hamlet or Kemoning hamlet, the price of water reaches IDR 250,000 per four towers,” he said.

The water seller serving the residents at Butus, Tanah Aron, Nangka and the surrounding residents, is from Umanyar. This clean water seller offered cheaper prices.

Lately, however prices increased, to to the payment of levies to the village of Abai.

Residents at Tanah Aron, Nangka, Kemoning, Butus and surrounding areas have been afflicted

by this severe water crisis. Nengah Pasar said that the two geo membrane dam projects at Tanah Aron and Nangka have dried out. The water supply was not sufficient for the purposes of Nangka residents, let alone for residents at other hamlet.

A resident of Umanyar, Ababi village, Abang subdistrict, Nyoman Ngantik, said last Tuesday that the water supply through pipelines to his village had not been running for three days. He did not know the cause, whether there might be something clogging the water flow.

Suparta hoped the Telaga Waja water pipeline project would also be able to distribute water to residents of Butus. So far, the region besieged by the quarry activities did not show any indication of being about to get clean water through the pipeline project. Actually, the residents at Butus village and the villages upland from there, regularly face water crisis during the dry season. Some plants in the fields of Butus such as coffee have already wilted. The situation was then exacerbated by thick dust sticking to the foliages at the edge of the highway due to passing trucks conveying quarry materials including sand. (013)

THE interest of people from Jembrana to participate in the resettlement program remains quite high. Unfortunately, the quota of family to be moved has decreases when compared to that of previous years. Besides this, the destination of resettlement programs is also different from lastyear. This condition has causesd a number of families who were initially interested in joining the program to cancel they request.

“The reason for this, is that the new destination of the resettlement program is far from where other families had moved to (Sulawesi) so some applicants have cancelled. However, the public interest in the resettlement program remains high,” said the Head of Social, Manpower and Resettlement Agency, I Made Bu-

diasa. For this year, his party did not know for sure about the quota for Jembrana, but four families had been undergoing training.

According to Budiasa, the resettlement destination this year was at Liangdok village, Tompaso Baru subdistrict, South Minahasa County, Southeast Sulawesi.

This destination is new for residents of Jembrana. Last year a total of 24 families were sent to Watutau village, Piore Lore subdistrict, Poso County, Central Sulawesi. At the resettlement destination, each family is given two hectares of land that can be used for cultivation and residential land. “Actually the location is quite strategic, supported by road access. Besides, some residents have been quite successful,” he added. (olo)

Amlapura (Bali Post)—

One of the employees of the toffee maker, Nyoman Murni, said on Monday (Nov 3) that the snakefruit and jackfruit toffee production had run smoothly since the past one month. She also admitted to being overwhelmed by the task of aquirinng enough ingredients to meet the high demand due to the dry long dry season Almost every other day, there were constomers ordering as many as 5,000 pieces. “It is difficult to find snakefruit in the dry season.

Besides, the price also rises. We could only get three large basins this month, while the demand continues to grow,” said Murni.

According to Murni, they get their snakefruit from Menanga region, Karangsem, from the moor belonging to local people. All the ingredients are put into a furnace

we also get overwhelmed because there are only two of us to to cut and wrap the toffee” she said.

Nyoman explained that the demand for snakefruit and jackfruit toffee comes mostly from Denpasar. Almost every other day this month, they provided 2,500 pieces of snakefruit and jackfruit toffee. She claimed that her boss, Nengah Yuliati, did not make much profit, despite the high demand.

Each piece of snakefruit and jackfruit toffee was sold for IDR 500, while pthe er kilogram price is 40,000. “The type of toffee we make depends on the order, sir. If we can get many orders, we will do it. Sometimes we do not get any orders for 10 days because there were no orders from guests,” she said. (119)

“We need to raise fund to purchase the mobile USG unit and the minibus to transport the patients from their home to the medical center.

Meanwhile, we plan to have to radiologists and raise more funds to train them to operate the USG machine,” Warren said.

Bali Pink Ribbon Foundation (BPR) proudly held the annual charity Bali Pink Ribbon walk on October 25, 2014. The event took the place at BTDC area Nusa Dua. Related to the breast cancer awareness, all participants had a chance to do a free basic breast cancer screening which is the collaboration of volunteered doctor from Bali and Singapore. Besides screening, they are also presenting about the importance of early cancer detection to the participants.

Besides the walk and breast cancer screening, around 35 stalls joined the festivities with bazaar sale stalls for fashion, jewelry, skin product and food & beverage stalls selling dishes starting from IDR 25K. The Kids Activity Area promises a load of fun with Carnival games such as apple bobbing, Popcorn, fairy floss, face painting, paint your own pink ribbon t-shirt, and bouncy castle.

More than 950 participants joined the walk.

BPR is a volunteer organization working with Indonesian and Singaporean doctors that provides seminars on breast cancer to women across Bali, in companies and villages, providing valuable knowledge and understanding of breast health.

The foundation can also arrange for breast screening as it strongly believes that early detection of any changes in breast health saves lives. BPR also has a support center on Jl. Dewi Sri, Kuta, providing a safe place for women to share their experiences of breast cancer with other survivors and those undergoing treatment. Bimonthly survivor meetings and seminars are held at the center, where information on living with and treating breast cancer is available in Indonesian and English.

Scientists see mechanism for spontaneous HIV ‘cure’ Agence France-Press

PARIS - French scientists said Tuesday they had found the genetic mechanism by which two HIV-infected men may have experienced a “spontaneous cure”, and said it offered a new strategy in the fight against AIDS. Both men were infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), one of them 30 years ago, but never developed AIDS symptoms.

The AIDS-causing virus remained in their immune cells but was inactivated because its genetic code had been altered, the scientists said.

The change appeared to be linked to increased activity of a common enzyme named APOBEC, they theorised.

The “apparent spontaneous cure” throws up an intriguing avenue for drug engineers, the team said in a statement.

“The work opens up therapeutic avenues for a cure, using or stimulating this enzyme, and avenues for identifying individu-

als among newly-infected patients who have a chance of a spontaneous cure.”

The work, published in the journal Clinical Microbiology and Infection, was carried out by scientists at France’s Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm).

HIV replicates by invading human CD4 immune cells, which it reprogrammes to become virus factories.

A rare group of people -- fewer than one percent of those infected -- are naturally able to rein in viral replication and keep the virus at clinically undetectable levels.

They are known as “elite controllers”, but the mechanism by which they keep the virus at bay remains a mystery.

The French group looked at two

such individuals, a 57-year-old man diagnosed HIV-positive in 1985, and a 23-year-old diagnosed in 2011, and sequenced their virus genomes.

Though they remained infected, standard tests could not detect the virus in their blood.

The team found that in both cases, the virus was unable to replicate in immune cells due to mutations in its genetic code.

The researchers suggested spontaneous evolution between humans and the virus, a process called “endogenisation” that is believed to have neutralised other viruses in humans in the past.

A similar process has been witnessed in a population of koalas that has integrated an AIDS-like virus into their genes, neutralised

$200 million per year. That’s on top of the foundation’s other donations to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

“Small steps won’t get the job done,” and scientists don’t have all the tools they need to eradicate malaria, Gates said.

His plan includes developing a drug or vaccine to purge the malaria parasite in people who carry it without showing symptoms — a “human reservoir” that helps spread the disease.

“If we commit to investing in all of these approaches, I believe that we can eradicate malaria in the next

generation,” Gates said. “Let me put it this way — I just turned 59 the other day. If we can’t get rid of malaria in my lifetime, I’d be very disappointed.”

Gates spoke at the annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, a conference that usually gets little public notice, about diseases often referred to as “neglected.”

That is not the case this year.

On Wednesday, Louisiana officials created a stir by asking the 3,500 people registered for the conference to stay away if they have been to certain West African countries or

it, and were passing resistance on to their offspring.

“We propose that HIV cure may occur through HIV endogenisation in humans,” the team wrote.

“These findings suggest that without therapeutic and prophylactic strategies, after several decades of HIV/host integrations and millions of deaths, it is likely that a few individuals might have endogenised and neutralised the virus and transmitted it to their progeny,” they added.

“We believe that the persistence of HIV DNA can lead to cure, and protection, from HIV.” The approach hitherto has been the opposite: to try and clear all traces of HIV from human cells and from cell reservoirs where they hide.

“We suggest that persistence of integrated HIV DNA is not a barrier, but on the contrary, may be a prerequisite to HIV cure,” said the study authors.

NEW ORLEANS — Philanthropist Bill Gates says he wants to end malaria in his lifetime and will give more money toward that goal, part of his broader fight against tropical diseases that are getting unusual public attention because of the Ebola outbreak.

In an interview with The Associated Press and in prepared remarks for a speech Sunday at a global health conference in New Orleans, the Microsoft co-founder said his Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation would increase its malaria program budget by 30 percent, to more than - Malaria

- Dengue Fever

- Polio

- Chikungunya

It kills more than 600,000 people each year, mostly children in Africa but also in Asia, Latin America and other areas.

It is caused by parasites spread through the bite of infected mosquitoes. In areas where the disease is common, people can develop partial immunity — they carry the parasite but don’t get sick, and mosquitoes who bite them become infected and then spread the disease when they bite others.

Gates called polio eradication “my top priority,” noting the viral disease remains endemic in three countries — Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan. He cited progress: Polio was eliminated in India earlier this year, and as of early September, Nigeria had confirmed only six wild poliovirus cases this year.

have had contact with an Ebola patient in the last 21 days, the incubation period for Ebola.

Conference organizers called the stance an overreaction to Ebola fears, and said it would prevent some scientists from presenting studies on the outbreak, which has killed about 5,000 people in West Africa this year.

In all, Gates said his foundation will commit more than $500 million this year to fight malaria, pneumonia, and diarrheal and parasitic diseases in poor countries. Here are some he discussed.

The conference comes “at a criti-

cal moment in the history of global health” because of the world’s largest outbreak of Ebola, Gates said.

He and his wife have pledged $50 million to help contain it and for research on treatments, rapid tests and vaccines. Another Microsoft co-founder, Paul Allen, has pledged $100 million, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, $25 million.

The global response to Ebola initially stumbled and revealed flaws in our health systems, Gates said. Since then, some countries and groups have helped, but much more is needed, he said.

The mosquito-borne disease, also known as breakbone fever for the pain it causes, has spread from a few countries a few decades ago to more than 100 today, including the southern United States. An experimental vaccine seems to prevent most severe disease and hospitalizations. Details of a major study on it will be presented at the conference on Monday, and Gates said his foundation would work to build on that work and make a vaccine available to all who need it.

Another mosquito-borne disease, chikungunya causes fever and extremely painful joints. It spread to the Caribbean last year after expanding in Africa and South Asia, and in July, the first locally acquired case in the U.S. was documented in Florida. It’s an important field for research and vaccine development, Gates said.

“We propose a new vision of HIV cure through integration, inactivation and potential endogenisation of a viral genome into the human genome.”

The team said they did not believe the two patients were unique or that the phenomenon was new.

And they called for “massive sequencing” of human DNA, particularly from Africans who had been exposed to HIV for longest, to find further proof.

Only one person is thought to have ever been cured of HIV: Timothy Ray Brown who had bone marrow transplants as a treatment for leukaemia, from a donor with resistance to HIV. A baby given anti-AIDS drugs immediately after birth for 18 months, was at first also thought to have been cured, but the virus later came back.

Various problems are faced by farmers in Gianyar. One of them is the price drop. This frequently happens due to simultaneous harvest such as the price of chili that once reached IDR 5,000 per kilogram.

Price of chili unstable, farmer needs help of marketing Bali Post

GIANYAR - Various problems are faced by farmers in Gianyar. One of them is the price drop.

This frequently happens due to simultaneous harvest such as the price of chili that once reached IDR 5,000 per kilogram. gLast month, the price of chili to collectors slumped to IDR 5,000,h said Wayan Kerta, a farmer who cultivated land at Subak Cawu, Sukawati.

He explained that there were 13 subak groups in Sukawati subdistrict, divided into three groups. Each group cultivated different plants to regulate the water capacity increasingly reduced due to drought. But at harvest time, farmers reaped the crops at the same time, so the collectors often had excessive stock. gAs has been known, chili cannot last long, so if the collector had excessive stock, the price could promptly slump,h he explained.

Nevertheless, Wayan Kerta admitted that currently the price of chili at the market began to normal with the range of IDR 15,000 to IDR 18,000. But, he remained to hope the Gianyar government to issue a policy that could assist the farmers in the matter of marketing and attempted in order the crop prices could be stable. gWe just know how to grow plant, so the marketing matter is handed over to collectors. Thus, we hope the government can help the marketing of our products,h he hoped.

Meanwhile, the Head of Gianyar Industry and Trade Agency, Suamba, said the complaints about the unstable price of chili were commonplace. Nevertheless, his party stayed to help farmers in the matter of marketing. gIt is commonplace when the chili price drops, farmers will complain. Conversely, when the price increases, consumers will complain. We will attempt a new innovation to help farmers,h he said.

Nevertheless, his party would remain to control the stability of price and the stock in Gianyar. It was done by submitting the price of groceries once a week to provincial government. gEvery Tuesday, we submit the price list and the amount of stock to Bali government. In other words, should there be any significant change,s it can be tackled together immediately,h he said. (kmb35)

DENPASAR - Apparently the crafters of silver accessory in Bali never get tired of making creative products. There are always new creations made to delight customers, especially women. Apart from composite brooches, the Cleopatra necklace has become a trend since the past few months.

One of the silversmiths from Tanggahan Tengah hamlet, Demulih village, Susut, Bangli, Nengah Tanya, said that the quite largesized necklace named Cleopatra model was being loved by many consumers. It was proved by the number of consumers asking him to make the necklace like the one put on by the Egyptian queen Cleopatra.

According to Tanya, since the size was quite large with a wide front design, this necklace was mostly used in pre-wedding session as a fashion accessory. gNow, it has become a trend. Such model remained to last within the past six months,h he explained.

He admitted the Cleopatra model could survive for long enough when compared to other models. Some models of other accessories like brooches could usually last for a maximum of two months.

Other than making necklace of the Cleopatra model the man having got involved in silver business

Riverside inspection pavement made into waste disposal Bali Post

NEGARA - Residents still have very low awareness of not disposing of rubbish into the river. Even, the construction of pavement at the Ijo Gading riverside newly accomplished was even used for landfills. Such condition was encountered in person by the Regent of Jembrana, I Putu Artha, when making a site inspection to the riparian area arrangement, Friday (Oct 10). Actually, the riparian arrangement with paving blocks at the Ijo Gading riverside, Loloan Barat, had just been accomplished.

Accompanied by Chief of the Regional Development Planning Board (Bappeda) I Ketut Swijana and the Head of Public Works I Gusti Putu Mertadana, the Regent Artha checked the river bank along 300 meters. However, when exploring the path near the settlement, the regent was troubled by the existence of heaped rubbish near

the pavement project recently completed.

When encountering the phenomena, he then called the headman of Loloan Barat, Sadikin, and rebuked him. gIf the condition is like this, it will turn shabby, right?

According to him, the riparian arrangement was intended to make the area well-organized. As a result, it would be cleaner and nicer to be seen.

Aside from using raw materials of silver, his workshop also produced accessory products made from copper and gold. gWe did not make an alpaca. If we make it by using gold miser, then the gold content on the other jewelry that we make will diminish,h he explained.

All this time, he supplied the products to a number of jewelry and accessory shops in Bangli and Denpasar. He said that silver accessory products were never quiet of enthusiasts. There were always consumers placing some orders on him.

Similarly, he did not deny if there was indeed a decline in demand after the Bali bombing incident. gThe decline chiefly happened to jewelry products made from gold and silver. Formerly, the gold jewelry order was worked on by up to three artisans, but now it is only made by a single artisan,h said Tanya.

Apart from the influence of the Bali bombing, the decline also occurred due to expensive price of gold. To get around the high price of gold, many consumers then chose gold-plated silver accessories. (ina)

Textile traders expected to occupy Seririt temporary market

Singaraja (Bali Post) -

Textile traders at Seririt temporary market were given a one month deadline by PD Pasar Buleleng. This deadline was issued as a second letter of reprimand after the initial annoucement last September. As a result, the shanties will not be empty as the textile traders will occupy them properly.

Hundreds of trucks force to stop on the side of Jalan Bypass Prof. IB Mantra.

Hundreds of trucks stuck on Jalan Bypass Prof. IB Mantra Semarapura (Bali Post) -

Hundreds of large trucks are still stuck on Jalan Bypass Prof.

IB Mantra, Sunday (Nov 2). The incident occured following the overcrowding at Padangbai Harbor caused by damage to Pier I. Truck drivers looked very distraught because they have been stuck there for the past five days.

One of the drivers, Abdullah, claimed on Sunday that he was resigned to the situation. He claimed to have been stuck since Friday (Oct 31) yet even by Sunday had still not has his turn to cross to Lembar Harbor, Lombok. He is wanting to transport motor vehicles to Lembar.

Another experience was told

by Sukri, a driver who transports foodstuff and other crops, from Java to Bali and wished to resume his journey to Lombok. He admitted to have resigned himself to the situation. He worried that his freight would rot on the truck. “If I cannot depart tomorrow, I am afraid the entire freight will rot,” said the driver who transports fruits from Java. Meanwhile, another truck driver brought crops such as onions, garlic and tomatoes. He also worries that his freight will rot in the

middle of the journey before he has time to cross.

Faced with such a situation, hundreds of drivers were forced to overnight on the median of the bypass road with only a piece of cloth as a bed. Other drivers used the front seat of their trucks to sleep.

They hope to get the opportunity to cross. Otherwise, they would suffer great losses.

Chief of Dawan Police, Ketut Suastika, said that for traffic to run smoothly along the KlungkungKarangasem road section, hundreds of trucks were forced to be held in three locations. These include the parking lot of Padangbai Harbor, a stopover at Yeh Malet Karangasem and Jalan Bypass Kusamba. Several police personnel of traffic affairs from Dawan Police and Klungkung Police were assigned to manage the parking of each truck so as not to interfere with the smoothness of traffic. His party coordinated with the police ranks at Karangasem Police and the ASDP authority at Padangbai. “Our officers are on rotating duty to monitor the condition 24 hours a day,” he said.

Such efforts were also carried out to avoid any accidents because the rows of trucks were recently crashed into by motorcycles

claiming one fatality. The latest information from the harbor states that there has been no significant development related to the repair of Padangbai Pier I. So, it is unclear how long the hundreds of trucks could be waiting. Meanwhile, the Padangbai Pier II was also reported to often be crowded after receiving the freight loading and unloading of the vessels from Lembar Harbor. Even, the mooring of Nusa Jaya Abadi roro vessel from Nusa Penida was also often hampered.

As a result, it took hours to dock at Padangbai Harbor.

As reported previously (IBP/ Oct 31), Padangbai Pier I is still not operational. The repairs are estimated to take a long time because repairs to the dock piling have to be done. The Padangbai Pier I was damaged after being hit by KMP Andika Nusantara. Manager of the PT ASDP Padangbai, Arsil, admitted that his party could not ascertain when the repairs would be completed. Obviously, the repair process was said to have been under progress. A team from the Surabaya Institute of Technology (ITS) had come down twice to conduct a study and survey in order to check the level of the damage. (kmb31)

Managing Director of PD Pasar Buleleng, Gede Putu Satwika Yadnya, said on Monday (Nov 3) from the Atiti Wisma Lobby of the Buleleng Regent Office, that his party attempted to coordinate with the textile workers through various approaches. Because of the lack of visitors and buyers, the traders seemed to reluctant to sell at the shanties of Seririt temporary market. “We have issued the second reprimand letter, giving traders next thirty days to immediately occupy the shanties. If they are still reluctant to occupy them, maybe we’ll give them to the other traders that are willing to sell there,” he said.

Use of the shanties for selling had been offered by PD Pasar for some time now. However there has been no indication that the textile traders would rush to use the shan-

ties provided. Satwika did not deny the conditions at the market, where many other traders lined up to sell in the shanties that were rejected by textile traders. In the future, his party plans to take decisive action by dismantling the shanties along the roadside around the market.

“We are proposing this area to be used as a night market and trust that it will be more effective. If they are still unused, we will immediately dismantle them,” he said.

Textile traders who do not occupy the temporary market provided by the PD Pasar Buleleng would just lose their registration rights in the temporary market. When the Seririt Market has been completed, the traders will still be entitled to take advantage of the shanties in the market, according to their registration rights. (kmb34)

Amnesty: Israel committed war crimes in Gaza war

Associated Press Writer

JERUSALEM — Amnesty International on Wednesday accused Israel of committing war crimes during the war in the Gaza Strip this summer, saying it displayed “callous indifference” in attacks on family homes in the densely populated coastal area.

The Gaza war left more than 2,100 Palestinians dead, including many civilians according to Palestinian and U.N. officials. Israel says the number of militants killed was much higher and accuses Hamas of using civilians as human shields. On the Israeli side, 66 soldiers and six civilians were killed.

Amnesty said in a report released Wednesday that “Israeli forces killed scores of Palestinian civilians in attacks targeting houses full of families, which in some cases have amounted to war crimes.” Israel’s foreign ministry rejected the report’s findings, saying the London-based rights group “ignores documented war crimes perpetrated

by Hamas.”

“The report does not mention the word terror in relation to Hamas or other armed Palestinian groups, nor mentions tunnels built by Hamas to infiltrate Israel and perpetrate terror attacks,” the ministry said.

Israel launched the Gaza operation in early July in response to steppedup rocket attacks on Israeli cities by the coastal area’s militant Palestinian Hamas rulers. The operation followed a crackdown by Israeli forces in the West Bank, where troops arrested scores of Hamas members, in response to the kidnapping and killings of three teenage Israelis in June by Hamas operatives.

Several weeks later, Jewish extremists kidnapped and burned to death a Palestinian teenager in east Jerusalem in an apparent revenge attack.

But the summer war was the fiercest con-

flict between the two sides in years.

“Israeli forces have brazenly flouted the laws of war by carrying out a series of attacks on civilian homes, displaying callous indifference to the carnage caused,” said Philip Luther, Director of Amnesty’s Middle East and North Africa program.

During the 50 days of fighting, Hamas fired thousands of rockets and mortars at Israeli towns and cities, including Tel Aviv, and used a sophisticated tunnel network to carry out attacks on Israeli military encampments in southern Israel, close to the Gaza border. Some of the tunnels also had exits abutting Israeli civilian communities, giving Hamas the ability to attack them as well.

For its part, Israeli forces carried out sustained aerial, artillery and infantry attacks in Gaza, many of which the Amnesty report found to be indiscriminate.

Israel says the military was as careful as possible to avoid civilian casualties citing its system of providing warning to civilians that strikes on their buildings were coming when possible.

It argues that the heavy civilian death toll is Hamas’ fault, accusing the Islamic militant group of launching rockets — and drawing retaliation — from school yards, residential areas and mosques.

“The report exposes a pattern of attacks on civilian homes by Israeli forces which have shown a shocking disregard for the lives of Palestinian civilians, who were given no warning and had no chance to flee,” Luther said.

Republicans move toward larger House majority Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Republicans held a commanding edge in elections for the House of Representatives on Tuesday, capitalizing on dissatisfaction with President Barack Obama and national malaise to push their majority toward the highest level in 65 years.

The Republicans had won more than 190 seats as polls closed in the East and Midwest and were certain to surpass the 218 needed for a majority if incumbents prevailed as expected in the West. They knocked out Democratic incumbents in Georgia, West Virginia, Illinois, New York and Florida and claimed two open seats in New York and North Carolina.

With Republicans also gaining the majority in the Senate, Obama now faces an opposition-led Congress during his last two years in office.

The president’s party typically loses seats in the elections between presidential ones, but Obama’s low approval ratings around 40 percent have been a drag on fellow Democrats, along with public unease with the Islamic State group threat, the Ebola outbreak and a lackluster recovery from the 2008 recession.

Republicans tightened their grip on the South. Evan Jenkins, a Democrat-turned-Republican state senator in West Virginia, knocked out 19-term Rep. Nick Rahall, one of the last white Democrats representing the region. Republican Rick Allen prevailed over another Southern Democrat, five-term Rep. John

Barrow of Georgia.

Republicans also won the seat of a retiring Democrat Mike McIntyre in North Carolina, knocked out Democrat Joe Garcia in Florida and eased out freshmen Democrats Bill Enyart and Brad Schneider in Illinois.

Republican challengers had the edge in Democratic seats in Maine, New Hampshire, New York and Texas.

Some two dozen Democratic incumbents had been in jeopardy, but just a handful of Republicans faced competitive races. Republican victories in the last such elections in 2010, fueled by the rise of the ultraconservative tea party, gave the party the advantage in redrawing congressional districts.

The Republicans, who came into Tuesday election holding 234 seats, were likely to match the 246 House seats of 1947-1949 when another Democrat, Harry S. Truman, occupied the White House. Democrats still hold the modern-day edge for most seats — 292 — in 1979.

A solid Republican majority means Speaker John Boehner, who was on the ballot for a 13th term, can afford defections from his increasingly conservative caucus and still get legislation passed. Boehner raised $102 million to ensure that Republicans would tighten their grip on the House.

Obama, whose party lost 63 seats in 2010, would become the two-term president with the most midterm defeats, surpassing Truman’s 74.

All 435 House seats were on the ballot Tuesday, but the roster of competitive races was less than 10 percent of those.

BUSINESS EU cuts growth forecasts as big economies falter

Associated Press

BRUSSELS — The European Union cut its already low economic growth forecasts further on Tuesday, indicating the recovery will remain sluggish amid problems for the bigger countries, particularly France and Germany.

The official forecast for growth this year in the 18-country eurozone was cut to 0.8 percent from a prediction of 1.2 percent made in the spring. Indicating little good was expected next year too, it reduced the 2015 prediction from 1.7 percent to 1.1 percent.

“The situation in the euro area remains extremely fragile,” said German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Unemployment in the currency union was forecast to decrease at a painfully slow rate — after 11.6 percent this year, it is expected to dip to 11.3 percent next year and 10.8 percent in 2016.

The broader 28-nation EU, which includes non-euro members like Britain and Sweden, was expected

Associated Press

to grow 1.3 percent this year from a previous 1.6 percent forecast.

To help speed up the recovery, EU Financial Affairs Commissioner Pierre Moscovici said the bloc should focus on spending on special projects, for which the EU Commission has a 300 billion euro ($375 billion) plan.

He said the plan would be presented to the EU parliament before the end of the year. “There is a real sense of urgency.”

The economic weakness stems in particular from a poor performance in Europe’s larger countries, with the exceptions of Spain and Britain.

The EU Commission sees growth this year “coming to a stop in Germany after a very strong first

quarter.”

That is expected to be only temporary, however, with Europe’s largest economy forecast to grow again next year “with the support of a robust labor market, favorable financing conditions and improving external demand.” Unemployment is expected to be 5.1 percent in 2014.

Some say Germany should spend more to boost growth because it has the public finances to do so.

Merkel acknowledged the need for more investment, but stressed that her government doesn’t believe it should be done “on credit” and defended her drive for budget discipline. “Public investment and private investment must go hand in hand,” she said.

France, Europe’s second biggest economy, has been under pressure for years to improve its performance but the EU said that growth is forecast to remain low in 2014 and 2015.

Unemployment is seen increasing to 10.4 percent this year.

“Short-term indicators do not suggest that a firm recovery is imminent,” the EU report said.

France has run into trouble with the EU over its high deficit. It should not expect quick turnaround. The EU predicts France’s budget deficit will continue to rise, hitting 4.7 percent of GDP in 2016, to become the biggest in the eurozone.

Finance Minister Michel Sapin said France must work together with its EU partners “to answer together a crucial question: how to regain, as quickly as possible, more growth and jobs.”

So often an outsider in EU matters, Britain will be happy to keep to that role with better economic fore-

casts than most other countries.

Its growth is forecast at 3.1 percent this year and predicted to accelerate. Unemployment is set to stay on a downward trend, moving from 6.2 percent this year to 5.5 percent in 2016.

Crisis Countries Many of the countries that were hit hardest by the financial crisis, mostly in southern Europe, had mostly improved forecasts.

Spain should see growth accelerate to 1.7 percent next year, but joblessness would remain sky high at 24.8 percent this year before dropping slightly. Greece is expected to return to growth with a 0.6 percent expansion this year and 3.7 percent in 2016, compared with a drop of 8.9 percent in 2011.

Ireland, which needed an international bailout ion 2010, is now set to become the fastest growing economy in the EU, with growth slated at 4.6 percent this year.

US trade deficit expands in September

WASHINGTON — The U.S. trade deficit rose in September as exports slumped, a sign that the world’s biggest economy is starting to feel the impact of weakening global growth.

The Commerce Department said Tuesday that the trade deficit rose 7.6 percent to $43 billion in September. That marks the first increase in four months. A deficit occurs when a country imports more than it exports.

Economic slowdowns in Europe and China appear to have hurt demand for American-made goods. Since September, the dollar has appreciated in value more than 4 percent against the euro to $1.25, making U.S. products less competitively priced abroad.

Exports fell 1.5 percent to $195.6 billion, led by declines in shipments of industrial supplies, consumer products and capital goods such as engines and computers.

September imports held steady at $238.6 billion for the second straight month.

The trade gap has been tempered this year by the boom in U.S. energy production, which has reduced

dependence on foreign oil and increased U.S. petroleum exports. So far this year, petroleum imports are 7.6 percent below the level of a year ago. Part of that decline has come from falling oil prices, with crude imports costing 3.1 percent less so far this year.

Petroleum exports will likely fall in the months ahead, as oil prices have slipped below $80 a barrel from more than $100 a barrel in June.

“The collapse in crude oil prices means that the trade deficit will narrow again before the end of this year,” said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics.

The politically sensitive trade deficit with China surged 17.6 percent to $35.6 billion in September, an all-time high. The release of the new Apple iPhone likely fueled much of the 12.7 percent increase in imports from China, just as growth in that economy has slipped and caused U.S. exports to fall 3.2 percent.

The deficit with China is on track to set another record for the entire year, creating more pressure for Congress and the Obama administration to take steps to curb what critics call unfair trade practices in China.

U.S. manufacturers say that China is manipulating its currency for a trade advantage. They accuse China of undervaluing the yuan to make the goods it manufactures cheaper when they are exported, and American products more expensive in China.

U.S. exports to the European Union also fell in September, decreasing 6.5 percent compared to August as several nations on that continent are grappling with the risk of a recession.

Through September, the trade deficit totaled $378.1 billion, compared to $363.9 billion for the same period last year. For all of 2013, the deficit totaled $476.4 billion, 11.4 percent lower than in 2012. Many economists believe the trade deficit will rise slightly in 2014, as a stronger U.S. economy is drawing in more imports.

The trade deficit is a drag on overall growth. That’s because U.S. producers are selling less abroad compared to foreign companies, while imports subtract from gross domestic product.

Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities, estimated that the October figures could reduce the estimate of 3.5 percent annual GDP growth in the third quarter by 0.4 percent.

Joged Bumbung

IBP

Bali has many traditional dances and one of the most fun is the joged bumbung dance. Joged Bumbung dance can find in some place in Bali such as Tabanan regency, Gianyar regency, Karangasem regency, and Klungkung regency.

This dance usually danced by some young girl usually until five. Tourists will often see and participate in a joged bumbung dance. The joged bumbung is a flirtation dance and a solo female dancer will select men from the audience with a tap on the shoulder with her fan.

Back in 1937 during Miguel Covarrubias’s time in Bali, before the

onrush of mass tourism, the joged bumbung was popular. Joged Bumbung usually accompanied with balinese gamelan called bumbung.

Balinese gamelan is an ensemble of instruments indigenous to the island of Bali in Indonesia.

Bumbung is comprised of bamboo resonators lying horizontally and tied to bamboo frames. These resonators

are struck with special mallets made of bamboo and tire rubber. This balinese music usually used for accompany joged bumbung dance. This balinese music usually brought by some people which joined into sekaa or group according to each village and each group of joged bumbung dance. Each group of bumbung usually amounting among 18 until 27 people including

the joged bumbung dancer.

A very popular dance that seems related to the legong is the joged, performed by a girl in a variation of the legong costume and in the traditional legong steps. The dance is considered erotic by the Balinese because the girl entices the men from the audience by ‘making eyes’ at them during the course of the dance. The man invited must dance with her in postures that represent a love game of approach and refusal (ngibing), in which the man tries to come near enough to the girl’s face to catch her perfume and feel the warmth of her skin, the Balinese form

of a kiss. As the audience becomes worked up, other men ‘cut in’ and dance with her.

The joged could easily be a modernized, decadent version of the ancient mating dance still to be found in some village in Bali, stronghold of native tradition. There, once a year, a dance called abuang is performed in which the unmarried girls of the village appear dressed in their best, wearing gold flower head-dresses and meet bachelor boys who posture with the girl of their preference in a short dance in which the gestures make one think of a chaste and restrained joged.

Pande Tamblingan Temple

SINGARAJA - In surviving their life, the Hindu community in Bali always does an activity supported by various things such as hoes, machetes, knives and sacred tools in the form of spear and kris dagger. All the devices are made by Pande clan or ironsmith, a community being good at making weapons of iron. Interestingly, all the descendants of Pande clan in Bali always say prayers in the Pande Tamblingan Temple. Why? At the verge of mangrove forests of Lake Tamblingan lies

a unique temple called the Pande Tamblingan Temple. Balinese people, especially the Pande clan flock to perform prayers in the temple. Although the lake water overflows and floods the outermost courtyard of the temple, it does not dampen the Pande community to say prayers. It aims at invoking safety, especially in carrying out the profession as a weapon maker.

The temple poses the forerunner of the birth of Pande clan since ancient times. It is located about 65 km north of Denpasar, or about 30 km south of Singaraja town.

Precisely, the temple is situated

among the four villages namely the Munduk, Gobleg, Gesing and Umajero. The closest village to the temple is Tamblingan hamlet, belonging to Munduk Village.

The Pande Tamblingan Temple perching on the verge of Lake Tamblingan spread across the area of 2,000 square meters. In the temple the devotees venerate the Lord Pasupati (Lord Brahma), Lingam-Yoni as well as the ancestors of Pande clan. Aside from Pande clan at the four villages, the temple is also venerated by Pande clan from Celuk and Bitra Village (Gianyar), Kayu Putih and Baturiti Village.

Pujawali or anniversary of the temple falls on full moon of the first month in Balinese calendar.

Devotees came to the temple by passing through the woods and riding traditional boat services operated by lake fishermen.

On the inscription originating from Ugrasena period, it was mentioned if the Pande community had been capable of making an armor used in a war, while the inscription from the period of Udayana and Suradipha mentioned the existence of papilihan mas and pwesi as well as Selonding gamelan. gThe inscription states that Pande community and

Selonding gamelan players got the exemption from the obligation of paying taxes,h he added.

During the leadership of Bali ancient kingdom the King Asta Sura Bumi Banten was not subject to the authority of Majapahit. As consequence, a troop under the commander of the Arya Cengceng was assigned to attack the Pande community. Based on the information of secret service, Gajah Mada knew if Tamblingan was the center of the arms industry of the kings in Bali. Afterward, the settlement of Pande Tamblingan was attacked.

Its amphibian forces were spread to all corners of Bali.

Son, brothers of S. Korean ferry owner convicted Associated Press Writer

SEOUL, South Korea — A South Korean court convicted three relatives of the sunken ferry’s owner and other associates for corruption on Wednesday, about four months after the tycoon was found dead on the run.

The body of fugitive billionaire Yoo Byung-eun was discovered in rural South Korea in July after a weekslong manhunt. Authorities allege his corruption likely contributed to the ferry sinking in April that killed more than 300 people.

They say Yoo controlled the ferry operator through a complex web of holding companies in which his children and close associates are large shareholders.

On Wednesday, Yoo’s eldest son, Yoo Dae-gyun, was sentenced to three years in prison over embezzlement and breach of trust, according to Incheon District Court spokesman Jang Joon Ah. Two brothers of Yoo Byung-eun were convicted of similar corruption charges. One brother got a two-year prison term and the other was sentenced to one year in prison but his sentence was suspended for two years, Jang said.

Ten of the late tycoon’s associates were also sentenced to up to four years in prison over embezzlement and other corruption charges on Wednesday, Jang said. He said prosecutors and Yoo’s convicted family mem-

Norway says terror threat, attack ‘likely’ Associated Press Writer

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Norwegian intelligence authorities say the Scandinavian country “likely” will be threatened or an act of terror will be attempted in Norway within the next 12 months.

The Joint Counter Terror Center says the Islamic State group, among others, has called for terror acts against countries that are part of the U.S.-led alliance against the group.

Norway has said it will send 120 soldiers to join the international campaign against Islamic militants in Iraq and help train local troops there. The assessment says military staff, police and political decision-makers could be “exposed.”

Wednesday’s assessment was not as high as in July, when the domestic intelligence agency said it had information about an imminent “concrete threat” from people with links to Islamic fighters in Syria. The threat level eventually was downgraded.

WHO’s next Africa chief is elected Associated Press Writer

COTONOU, Benin — As Ebola continued to burn its way through three West African countries, the World Health Organization on Wednesday elected its next Africa director, Botswana doctor Matshidiso Moeti, a longtime veteran of the U.N. agency.

The announcement was made

by Senegalese health minister Awa Marie Coll Seck, who chaired the vote during this week’s meeting of WHO Africa’s regional committee in Benin.

“I’m very happy and proud of the way this process was conducted,” Moeti said after being declared the winner. “As regional director, I will

work with every country in all the regions of our continent to improve the health of our populations.”

WHO Africa’s outgoing leader, Angolan doctor Luis Sambo, was criticized for initially bungling WHO’s response to the biggest Ebola outbreak in history.

Moeti previously led the epidemiology department in Botswana as well as its AIDS department and joined WHO Africa as a regional adviser for women’s and adolescent health. She was previously head of WHO’s Malawi office and was WHO Africa’s deputy regional director until March.

WHO’s Africa office is widely acknowledged to be the agency’s weakest regional office, among

five others which are all largely autonomous and do not answer to the Geneva headquarters.

In an internal draft document obtained by the Associated Press last month, WHO blamed its staff in Africa for initially botching the response to Ebola, describing many of its regional staff as “politicallymotivated appointments” and noted numerous complaints about WHO officials in West Africa.

Child protection commission to build safe homes for abused children Antara

Jakarta - The National Commission for Child Protection plans to soon build safe homes for child abuse victims, the commissions chairman, Aris Merdeka Sirait, stated here on Tuesday.

“Currently, there is no specific place or house to accommodate or protect those children,” Aris pointed out.

The commission will cooperate with the Ministry of Social Affairs to build safe homes for them. Moreover, the child protection commission had also organized a fundraiser last Sunday morning (Nov. 2) at the Hotel Indonesia roundabout.

“The fundraising event was attended by about 1.5 thousand people, both children and adults,” he informed Antara.

According to Aris, the child abuse victims, who had been residing in the safe houses, could undergo rehabilitation process such as treatment and therapy to help them overcome trauma.

Moreover, the houses would also function as a shelter from child abusers, who were mostly the people closest to them.

“We will not return the abused children to their old neighborhoods in which many child abusers live,” he noted.

Jakarta - The Indonesian Foreign Affairs Ministry is set to immediately facilitate the repatriation of the bodies of two Indonesian murder victims in Hong Kong. “We will immediately facilitate the repatriation of the bodies so that they can be buried in Indonesia,” a spokesperson of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, Michael Tene, said here on Tuesday.

According to Tene, the Indonesian Consulate General in Hong Kong will follow up with the legal proceedings related to the case.

“The preliminary hearing was held on Monday (November 3). The police will hold a reconstruction of the murders in the next few days. Further hearings will also be held. The Consulate General will follow up with the legal proceedings in Hong Kong related to the case,” he affirmed.

A 29-year-old Englishman, Rurik Jutting, has been charged with the murder of the two women. The Hong Kong Police found their bodies in his apartment in Johnston Road, Wan Chai, in Hong Kong.

The ministry has confirmed that both victims were Indonesian nationals. It plans to contact their families in Indonesia to coordinate with them for the repatriation of the bodies. The ministry spokesman added that both victims were in Hong Kong on tourist visas. He also appealed to all Indonesians abroad to be careful and to not get involved in any illegal activities.

“Indonesian people should avoid (getting involved in) illegal or criminal activities that could threaten their lives,” Tene stated.

The Indonesian Consulate General in Hong Kong confirmed the victims names as Sumarti Ningsih from Cilacap, Central Java, and Seneng Mujiasih from Muna, Southeast Sulawesi. The Hong Kong Police will conduct a reconstruction of the murder on November 7.

Alonso wary of McLaren’s threat to Ferrari F1 team Fernando Alonso reckons the Ferrari Formula 1 team must raise its game over the final two races of the season to avoid getting dragged into a fight with McLaren.

The Scuderia has mainly been engaged in a scrap with Williams for third in the F1 constructors’ title race

this year, but it has lost ground over the past few grands prix thanks to a lack of speed and some unreliability.

Ferrari sat just nine points behind Williams and 67 clear of McLaren following September’s Singapore Grand Prix, but a run of low scoring since means the Maranello outfit now trails

Williams by 42 points, while McLaren has closed the gap down to 49.

McLaren dropped four points to Ferrari at last weekend’s US GP, but Alonso said the Woking team’s improved form since Singapore means the Scuderia needs to keep its scoring up with the Abu Dhabi double points

finale looming.

“We were struggling all weekend but we were also [struggling] a little bit in Russia and Japan as well,” said Alonso after the US race. “We just need to keep scoring points because the constructors’ championship [battle] is still there.

“We have some fights - we thought maybe we’ve lost too much ground to Williams and would be in the middle of nowhere.

“But now McLaren seem to have picked up their pace a little bit so we cannot afford to not score points. We are still in a fight.”

GENEVA — Real Madrid beat an under-strength Liverpool 1-0 to advance in the Champions League on Tuesday although Cristiano Ronaldo failed to equal the competition scoring record.

Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet was beaten by Karim Benzema in the 27th minute but repeatedly stopped Ronaldo scoring the goal he needs to match Madrid great Raul Gonzalez’s 71 career goals in Europe’s top club competition. It also ended Ronaldo’s 12-game scoring streak in all competitions.

“I don’t think he got frustrated (by not scoring),” Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said about Ronaldo. “I used to be frustrated when I didn’t score, Ronaldo keeps on scoring and I think he was just happy that we won the match.”

Defending champion Madrid also earned its round-of-16 place with two rounds to spare after a fourth straight win in Group B. Basel is second after routing Ludogorets Razgrad 4-0.

Borussia Dortmund also kept its 100 percent record to secure advancement by beating Galatasaray 4-1. The Germans seemed certain to be joined by Group D rival Arsenal when the London club was up 3-0 against Anderlecht with 30 minutes to play.

However, Arsenal again showed the fragility that has marked the later years of coach Arsene Wenger’s lengthy reign and let the visiting Belgian champion level at 3-3 in the 90th.

Juventus earned a thrilling 3-2 win against Olympiakos, fighting back to score twice in a minute midway through the second half, to stay in contention in Group A. Atletico Madrid won 2-0 at Malmo and still leads the group.

Group C leader Bayer Leverkusen won 2-1 at Zenit St. Petersburg, and Benfica avoided potential elimination by beating Monaco 1-0. After Ronaldo set a singleseason scoring record of 17 goals in Madrid’s march to its 10th European title last May, the career mark

seemed likely to fall as well for the 29-year-old Portuguese.

Especially after Liverpool coach Brend a n Rodgers

chose a surprising starting lineup, resting Steven Gerrard, Mario Balotelli, Raheem Sterling and several others ahead of a weekend Premier League match against Chelsea.

Mignolet denied Ronaldo for the first time with a diving stop in the 6th and stopped two later free kicks among the Madrid star’s 10 attempts on goal, five of which were on target. Benzema needed just one shot on target, connecting from close range with Marcelo’s cross.

Ronaldo’s great rival Lionel Messi, who has 69 career Champions League goals, takes his aim at Raul’s record when Barcelona plays at Ajax on Wednesday.

Basel tripled its goal tally in this season’s competition, getting goals from 17-year-old Cameroon-born Breel Embolo, Paraguay forward Derlis Gonzalez, Albania midfielder Shkelzen Gashi and Czech Republic defender Marek Suchy against Ludogorets. Basel has six points, three clear of Liverpool and Ludogorets.

Dortmund has won only two matches in the Bundesliga all

season but made it four straight in the Champions League.

Germany midfielder Marco Reus, Greece defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Italy forward Ciro Immobile all scored for the 2013 runner-up.

BEIJING - Italy’s World Cup winning-captain Fabio Cannavaro will replace his former national team coach Marcello Lippi in charge of Chinese champions Guangzhou Evergrande for next season, the club announced on Wednesday.

responsible for the day-to-day running of the team, the club said. Cannavaro, 41, played 136 times for Italy in a glittering playing career and raised the World Cup in Germany in 2006 with Lippi as his coach.

The former Napoli, Parma, Inter Milan, Juventus and Real Madrid central defender finished his playing career at Emirati club Al Ahli and stayed on as a technical consultant after his retirement.

Lippi has won three Chinese Super League titles, the Chinese FA Cup and the 2013 AFC Champions League since taking over at the club two years ago.

Cannavaro’s arrival will bring an even more Italian flavour to the club after former Italy internationals Alessandro Diamanti and his former Bologna team mate Alberto Gilardino were purchased this year.

LONDON — Arsenal threw away a 3-0 lead and an early place in the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday after Anderlecht launched a stunning comeback to draw 3-3 with a last-minute equalizer. With only half an hour left, goals by captain Mikel Arteta from the penalty spot, Alexis Sanchez and Alex OxladeChamberlain had put Arsenal in complete control of the Group D match.

With Borussia Dortmund beating Galatasaray, Arsene Wenger’s side appeared certain to join the Bundesliga club in the knockout stages with two games to spare. Instead, two goals from Anthony Vanden Borre, the second from the penalty spot in the 73rd minute, hauled Anderlecht right back into the match as Arsenal’s defense collapsed.

Aleksandar Mitrovic then completed the comeback by heading in the equalizer in the 90th minute, before celebrating in front of the euphoric visiting fans. It was a stark reversal from the game in Anderlecht last month, when Arsenal scored two late goals to snatch a 2-1 win. Wenger blamed bad luck, tiredness and, most of all, bad defending for the collapse.

“You have to give them (Anderlecht) credit, they did fight until the end and we had a poor defensive performance from the first minute to the last today,” Wenger said. “We never felt comfortable and somewhere we got punished. A bit because of bad luck, the first (Anderlecht) goal was offside clearly, but defensively our performance was not good enough.”

Arteta, who was substituted due to a

hamstring injury, was equally critical of the performance.

“We can’t afford to make these mistakes, it is just not good enough,” Arteta said. “It was a massive night for us to ensure our qualification to the last 16. We threw everything away tonight and did not perform to the expected level of this football club. Luckily we have two more opportunities to amend this.”

Dortmund’s 4-1 win over Galatsaray sealed its place in the knockout stages with second-place Arsenal on seven points, Anderlecht with two and the Turkish side on one. Anderlecht coach Besnik Hasi felt the turning point came with his side’s first goal.

“We made a few changes and at 3-1 we gained in confidence,” he said. “I also have to thank our fans tonight — even at 3-0 down they gave us confidence, and then we started to play. At 3-2, Arsenal started to have a doubt.

So we really pushed forward and we scored the goal. “This game is going to stay in my memory for sure. ... I’m very, very proud of my team. They were fantastic today.” Two weeks after Arsenal was fortunate to snatch a late victory in Belgium, Tuesday’s performance at Emirates Stadium looked highly convincing — at least for the first hour.

The first goal came after Anderlecht center half Chancel Mbemba felled Danny Welbeck with a clumsy challenge in the area in the 25th minute. Arteta coolly chipped his spotkick down the middle as keeper Silvio Proto dived helplessly to his right, and the home side had taken a step toward the last 16.

Another step followed just four minutes later, after Sanchez took a free

The ball looped high in the air and back to the Chile striker, who smashed home a volley that Proto got a glove to but couldn’t keep out. It was Sanchez’s fifth goal in his last three matches.

Arsenal kept up the pressure after the re-start and was rewarded when Sanchez won back possession outside the Anderlecht area, releasing OxladeChamberlain for a penetrating run and a curling shot past Proto into the far corner. However, defensive frailties

have marked Wenger’s side this season and they again proved costly.

Substitute Davy Roef broke down the right flank in the 61st minute and sent in a low cross that Vanden Borre turned in from point-blank range — with Arsenal appeals for offside waved away by the referee. Vanden Borre then narrowed the deficit even further from the penalty spot, giving Szczesny no chance after Nacho Monreal had pulled down Mitrovic in the area.

At this stage, the home side was

barely clinging on to a victory and a place in the knockout stages. That already loose grip was broken completely when Mitrovic brilliantly headed home Andy Najar’s cross into the corner of the Arsenal net in the last minute.

“Maybe we underestimated subconsciously Anderlecht and got punished,” Wenger summed up. “That’s the Champions League. You need to be at the mental level ... and certainly we were not.”

FILE - In this Dec. 22, 2010 file photo, Italy’s AS Roma’s soccer player Adriano, of Brazil, talks to the press during the inauguration of a social project at the Vila Cruzeiro slum, his boyhood home, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

SAO PAULO — Former Brazil striker Adriano was charged by Rio de Janeiro prosecutors on Tuesday for his alleged connection with drug trafficking. Prosecutors claim the striker bought a motorcycle and gave it as a gift to a known drug dealer in the shantytown where he grew up.

It will be up to a judge whether to accept the charges. Adriano could face up to 10 years in prison if he is convicted.

It is not the first time he has been investigated for his alleged ties to drug trafficking in Rio, but he had never previously been charged. Several years ago, prosecutors had requested a probe into Adriano’s purchase of the motorcycle, which allegedly was registered in the name of the drug dealer’s mother and was used for drug trafficking.

Prosecutors on Tuesday did not request Adriano’s arrest but asked for him to surrender his passport, claiming the player has enough money to try to flee the country if wanted.

Adriano and his lawyers could not be imme-

diately contacted for comment.

The 32-year-old forward reportedly has been negotiating with second-division French club Le Havre to return to football after several months without a club. He traveled to France recently to meet with club officials, and French media reported that a deal was close.

Adriano played a few games with Brazilian club Atletico Paranaense earlier this year after being out of action for nearly two years because of injuries and off-field problems.

He began his career with Flamengo and played for Inter Milan and AS Roma, among other clubs. He won four Serie A titles with Inter Milan early in his career, and with Brazil he won the 2004 Copa America and the 2005 Confederations Cup. He was in the starting lineup for Brazil at the 2006 World Cup, when the team was eliminated in the quarterfinals. Adriano was touted to make the team in 2010 in South Africa after leading Flamengo to the national title a year earlier, but was not included in the final squad.

His last match with Brazil was in 2010.

He began his career with Flamengo and played for Inter Milan and AS Roma, among other clubs. He won four Serie A titles with Inter Milan early in his career, and with Brazil he won the 2004 Copa America and the 2005 Confederations Cup. He was in the starting lineup for Brazil at the 2006 World Cup, when the team was eliminated in the quarterfinals. Adriano was touted to make the team in 2010 in South Africa after leading Flamengo to the national title a year earlier, but was not included in the final squad.

His last match with Brazil was in 2010.

Alonso wary of McLaren’s threat to Ferrari F1 team Fernando Alonso reckons the Ferrari Formula 1 team must raise its game over the final two races of the season to avoid getting dragged into a fight with McLaren.

The Scuderia has mainly been engaged in a scrap with Williams for third in the F1 constructors’ title race

this year, but it has lost ground over the past few grands prix thanks to a lack of speed and some unreliability.

Ferrari sat just nine points behind Williams and 67 clear of McLaren following September’s Singapore Grand Prix, but a run of low scoring since means the Maranello outfit now trails

Williams by 42 points, while McLaren has closed the gap down to 49.

McLaren dropped four points to Ferrari at last weekend’s US GP, but Alonso said the Woking team’s improved form since Singapore means the Scuderia needs to keep its scoring up with the Abu Dhabi double points

finale looming.

“We were struggling all weekend but we were also [struggling] a little bit in Russia and Japan as well,” said Alonso after the US race. “We just need to keep scoring points because the constructors’ championship [battle] is still there.

“We have some fights - we thought maybe we’ve lost too much ground to Williams and would be in the middle of nowhere.

“But now McLaren seem to have picked up their pace a little bit so we cannot afford to not score points. We are still in a fight.”

Son, brothers of S. Korean ferry owner convicted Associated Press Writer

SEOUL, South Korea — A South Korean court convicted three relatives of the sunken ferry’s owner and other associates for corruption on Wednesday, about four months after the tycoon was found dead on the run.

The body of fugitive billionaire Yoo Byung-eun was discovered in rural South Korea in July after a weekslong manhunt. Authorities allege his corruption likely contributed to the ferry sinking in April that killed more than 300 people.

They say Yoo controlled the ferry operator through a complex web of holding companies in which his children and close associates are large shareholders.

On Wednesday, Yoo’s eldest son, Yoo Dae-gyun, was sentenced to three years in prison over embezzlement and breach of trust, according to Incheon District Court spokesman Jang Joon Ah. Two brothers of Yoo Byung-eun were convicted of similar corruption charges. One brother got a two-year prison term and the other was sentenced to one year in prison but his sentence was suspended for two years, Jang said.

Ten of the late tycoon’s associates were also sentenced to up to four years in prison over embezzlement and other corruption charges on Wednesday, Jang said. He said prosecutors and Yoo’s convicted family mem-

Norway says terror threat, attack ‘likely’ Associated Press Writer

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Norwegian intelligence authorities say the Scandinavian country “likely” will be threatened or an act of terror will be attempted in Norway within the next 12 months.

The Joint Counter Terror Center says the Islamic State group, among others, has called for terror acts against countries that are part of the U.S.-led alliance against the group.

Norway has said it will send 120 soldiers to join the international campaign against Islamic militants in Iraq and help train local troops there. The assessment says military staff, police and political decision-makers could be “exposed.”

Wednesday’s assessment was not as high as in July, when the domestic intelligence agency said it had information about an imminent “concrete threat” from people with links to Islamic fighters in Syria. The threat level eventually was downgraded.

Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Michael Tene said during a press conference here on Wednesday that President Jokowi would attend the Summits of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in Beijing, China, on November 10-11, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar, on November 12-13, and the G20 in Brisbane, Australia, on November 15-16. “Minister of Foreign Affairs Retno Marsudi will accompany President Jokowi to the summits,” stated Michael.

Director of Asia, Pacific and Africa Inter-Regional Cooperation, MOFA, Arto Suryodipuro remarked that at the APEC summit, President Jokowi would deliver a speech on Indonesias economic vision for the next five years.

“Mr. President (Jokowi) will

highlight the importance of economic integration and connectivity, which is in line with the APECs theme in Beijing,” he noted. After the APEC Summit, President Jokowi will depart for Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar, to attend the 25th ASEAN Summit.

“President Jokowi will attend nine meetings during the ASEAN Summit,” said the MOFAs Director General of ASEAN, I Gusti Agung Wesaka Puja.

On November 12-13, President Jokowi will also attend an ASEAN meeting with partner countries and organizations, including India, Japan, the United Nations, Australia, East Asian countries, the US, China, and the ASEAN Plus Three Countries (Japan, China, South Korea).

Wesaka Puja pointed out that maritime and ASEAN development post-2015 would be the main issues to be discussed during the summit.

“The issues are related to the Myanmar chairmanship that focuses on the ASEAN unity and a prosperous community,” he added.

The third summit that President Jokowi will attend is G20 in Brisbane, Australia, where he will deliver a speech on bureaucracy and economic reforms in Solo, Central Java, and Jakarta Capital Region.

“President Jokowi has been specially asked to talk about his experiences in bureaucracy and economic reforms when he was the Mayor of Solo and Governor of Jakarta,” revealed the MOFAs Director of Economy and Environment Development Toferry Soetikno.

The APEC, ASEAN and G20 Summits, from November 10 to 16, 2014, will be Jokowis first attendance at international forums after his inauguration as the President on October 20.

WHO’s next Africa chief is elected Associated Press Writer

COTONOU, Benin — As Ebola continued to burn its way through three West African countries, the World Health Organization on Wednesday elected its next Africa director, Botswana doctor Matshidiso Moeti, a longtime veteran of the U.N. agency.

The announcement was made

by Senegalese health minister Awa Marie Coll Seck, who chaired the vote during this week’s meeting of WHO Africa’s regional committee in Benin.

“I’m very happy and proud of the way this process was conducted,” Moeti said after being declared the winner. “As regional director, I will

work with every country in all the regions of our continent to improve the health of our populations.”

WHO Africa’s outgoing leader, Angolan doctor Luis Sambo, was criticized for initially bungling WHO’s response to the biggest Ebola outbreak in history.

Moeti previously led the epidemiology department in Botswana as well as its AIDS department and joined WHO Africa as a regional adviser for women’s and adolescent health. She was previously head of WHO’s Malawi office and was WHO Africa’s deputy regional director until March.

WHO’s Africa office is widely acknowledged to be the agency’s weakest regional office, among

five others which are all largely autonomous and do not answer to the Geneva headquarters.

In an internal draft document obtained by the Associated Press last month, WHO blamed its staff in Africa for initially botching the response to Ebola, describing many of its regional staff as “politicallymotivated appointments” and noted numerous complaints about WHO officials in West Africa.

Whoever is chosen as Africa’s new WHO head probably won’t have a big role in ending Ebola since the U.N. has already taken charge of control efforts, but the new director could be key to preventing similar disasters in the future.

Child protection commission to build safe homes for abused children Antara

Jakarta - The National Commission for Child Protection plans to soon build safe homes for child abuse victims, the commissions chairman, Aris Merdeka Sirait, stated here on Tuesday.

“Currently, there is no specific place or house to accommodate or protect those children,” Aris pointed out.

The commission will cooperate with the Ministry of Social Affairs to build safe homes for them. Moreover, the child protection commission had also organized a fundraiser last Sunday morning (Nov. 2) at the Hotel Indonesia roundabout.

“The fundraising event was attended by about 1.5 thousand people, both children and adults,” he informed Antara.

According to Aris, the child abuse victims, who had been residing in the safe houses, could undergo rehabilitation process such as treatment and therapy to help them overcome trauma.

Moreover, the houses would also function as a shelter from child abusers, who were mostly the people closest to them.

“We will not return the abused children to their old neighborhoods in which many child abusers live,” he noted.

Foreign ministry to repatriate Hong Kong murder victims` bodies

Antara

Jakarta - The Indonesian Foreign Affairs Ministry is set to immediately facilitate the repatriation of the bodies of two Indonesian murder victims in Hong Kong. “We will immediately facilitate the repatriation of the bodies so that they can be buried in Indonesia,” a spokesperson of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, Michael Tene, said here on Tuesday.

According to Tene, the Indonesian Consulate General in Hong Kong will follow up with the legal proceedings related to the case.

“The preliminary hearing was held on Monday (November 3). The police will hold a reconstruction of the murders in the next few days. Further hearings will also be held. The Consulate General will follow up with the legal proceedings in Hong Kong related to the case,” he affirmed.

A 29-year-old Englishman, Rurik Jutting, has been charged with the murder of the two women. The Hong Kong Police found their bodies in his apartment in Johnston Road, Wan Chai, in Hong Kong.

The ministry has confirmed that both victims were Indonesian nationals. It plans to contact their families in Indonesia to coordinate with them for the repatriation of the bodies. The ministry spokesman added that both victims were in Hong Kong on tourist visas. He also appealed to all Indonesians abroad to be careful and to not get involved in any illegal activities.

“Indonesian people should avoid (getting involved in) illegal or criminal activities that could threaten their lives,” Tene stated.

The Indonesian Consulate General in Hong Kong confirmed the victims names as Sumarti Ningsih from Cilacap, Central Java, and Seneng Mujiasih from Muna, Southeast Sulawesi. The Hong Kong Police will conduct a reconstruction of the murder on November 7.

BUSINESS EU cuts growth forecasts as big economies falter

Associated Press

BRUSSELS — The European Union cut its already low economic growth forecasts further on Tuesday, indicating the recovery will remain sluggish amid problems for the bigger countries, particularly France and Germany.

The official forecast for growth this year in the 18-country eurozone was cut to 0.8 percent from a prediction of 1.2 percent made in the spring. Indicating little good was expected next year too, it reduced the 2015 prediction from 1.7 percent to 1.1 percent.

“The situation in the euro area remains extremely fragile,” said German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Unemployment in the currency union was forecast to decrease at a painfully slow rate — after 11.6 percent this year, it is expected to dip to 11.3 percent next year and 10.8 percent in 2016.

The broader 28-nation EU, which includes non-euro members like Britain and Sweden, was expected

Associated Press

to grow 1.3 percent this year from a previous 1.6 percent forecast.

To help speed up the recovery, EU Financial Affairs Commissioner Pierre Moscovici said the bloc should focus on spending on special projects, for which the EU Commission has a 300 billion euro ($375 billion) plan.

He said the plan would be presented to the EU parliament before the end of the year. “There is a real sense of urgency.”

The economic weakness stems in particular from a poor performance in Europe’s larger countries, with the exceptions of Spain and Britain.

The EU Commission sees growth this year “coming to a stop in Germany after a very strong first

quarter.”

That is expected to be only temporary, however, with Europe’s largest economy forecast to grow again next year “with the support of a robust labor market, favorable financing conditions and improving external demand.” Unemployment is expected to be 5.1 percent in 2014.

Some say Germany should spend more to boost growth because it has the public finances to do so.

Merkel acknowledged the need for more investment, but stressed that her government doesn’t believe it should be done “on credit” and defended her drive for budget discipline. “Public investment and private investment must go hand in hand,” she said.

France, Europe’s second biggest economy, has been under pressure for years to improve its performance but the EU said that growth is forecast to remain low in 2014 and 2015.

Unemployment is seen increasing to 10.4 percent this year.

“Short-term indicators do not suggest that a firm recovery is imminent,” the EU report said.

France has run into trouble with the EU over its high deficit. It should not expect quick turnaround. The EU predicts France’s budget deficit will continue to rise, hitting 4.7 percent of GDP in 2016, to become the biggest in the eurozone.

Finance Minister Michel Sapin said France must work together with its EU partners “to answer together a crucial question: how to regain, as quickly as possible, more growth and jobs.”

So often an outsider in EU matters, Britain will be happy to keep to that role with better economic fore-

casts than most other countries.

Its growth is forecast at 3.1 percent this year and predicted to accelerate. Unemployment is set to stay on a downward trend, moving from 6.2 percent this year to 5.5 percent in 2016.

Crisis Countries Many of the countries that were hit hardest by the financial crisis, mostly in southern Europe, had mostly improved forecasts.

Spain should see growth accelerate to 1.7 percent next year, but joblessness would remain sky high at 24.8 percent this year before dropping slightly. Greece is expected to return to growth with a 0.6 percent expansion this year and 3.7 percent in 2016, compared with a drop of 8.9 percent in 2011.

Ireland, which needed an international bailout ion 2010, is now set to become the fastest growing economy in the EU, with growth slated at 4.6 percent this year.

US trade deficit expands in September

WASHINGTON — The U.S. trade deficit rose in September as exports slumped, a sign that the world’s biggest economy is starting to feel the impact of weakening global growth.

The Commerce Department said Tuesday that the trade deficit rose 7.6 percent to $43 billion in September. That marks the first increase in four months. A deficit occurs when a country imports more than it exports.

Economic slowdowns in Europe and China appear to have hurt demand for American-made goods. Since September, the dollar has appreciated in value more than 4 percent against the euro to $1.25, making U.S. products less competitively priced abroad.

Exports fell 1.5 percent to $195.6 billion, led by declines in shipments of industrial supplies, consumer products and capital goods such as engines and computers.

September imports held steady at $238.6 billion for the second straight month.

The trade gap has been tempered this year by the boom in U.S. energy production, which has reduced

dependence on foreign oil and increased U.S. petroleum exports. So far this year, petroleum imports are 7.6 percent below the level of a year ago. Part of that decline has come from falling oil prices, with crude imports costing 3.1 percent less so far this year.

Petroleum exports will likely fall in the months ahead, as oil prices have slipped below $80 a barrel from more than $100 a barrel in June.

“The collapse in crude oil prices means that the trade deficit will narrow again before the end of this year,” said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics.

The politically sensitive trade deficit with China surged 17.6 percent to $35.6 billion in September, an all-time high. The release of the new Apple iPhone likely fueled much of the 12.7 percent increase in imports from China, just as growth in that economy has slipped and caused U.S. exports to fall 3.2 percent.

The deficit with China is on track to set another record for the entire year, creating more pressure for Congress and the Obama administration to take steps to curb what critics call unfair trade practices in China.

U.S. manufacturers say that China is manipulating its currency for a trade advantage. They accuse China of undervaluing the yuan to make the goods it manufactures cheaper when they are exported, and American products more expensive in China.

U.S. exports to the European Union also fell in September, decreasing 6.5 percent compared to August as several nations on that continent are grappling with the risk of a recession.

Through September, the trade deficit totaled $378.1 billion, compared to $363.9 billion for the same period last year. For all of 2013, the deficit totaled $476.4 billion, 11.4 percent lower than in 2012. Many economists believe the trade deficit will rise slightly in 2014, as a stronger U.S. economy is drawing in more imports.

The trade deficit is a drag on overall growth. That’s because U.S. producers are selling less abroad compared to foreign companies, while imports subtract from gross domestic product.

Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities, estimated that the October figures could reduce the estimate of 3.5 percent annual GDP growth in the third quarter by 0.4 percent.

Joged Bumbung

IBP

Bali has many traditional dances and one of the most fun is the joged bumbung dance. Joged Bumbung dance can find in some place in Bali such as Tabanan regency, Gianyar regency, Karangasem regency, and Klungkung regency.

This dance usually danced by some young girl usually until five. Tourists will often see and participate in a joged bumbung dance. The joged bumbung is a flirtation dance and a solo female dancer will select men from the audience with a tap on the shoulder with her fan.

Back in 1937 during Miguel Covarrubias’s time in Bali, before the

onrush of mass tourism, the joged bumbung was popular. Joged Bumbung usually accompanied with balinese gamelan called bumbung.

Balinese gamelan is an ensemble of instruments indigenous to the island of Bali in Indonesia.

Bumbung is comprised of bamboo resonators lying horizontally and tied to bamboo frames. These resonators

are struck with special mallets made of bamboo and tire rubber. This balinese music usually used for accompany joged bumbung dance. This balinese music usually brought by some people which joined into sekaa or group according to each village and each group of joged bumbung dance. Each group of bumbung usually amounting among 18 until 27 people including

the joged bumbung dancer.

A very popular dance that seems related to the legong is the joged, performed by a girl in a variation of the legong costume and in the traditional legong steps. The dance is considered erotic by the Balinese because the girl entices the men from the audience by ‘making eyes’ at them during the course of the dance. The man invited must dance with her in postures that represent a love game of approach and refusal (ngibing), in which the man tries to come near enough to the girl’s face to catch her perfume and feel the warmth of her skin, the Balinese form

of a kiss. As the audience becomes worked up, other men ‘cut in’ and dance with her.

The joged could easily be a modernized, decadent version of the ancient mating dance still to be found in some village in Bali, stronghold of native tradition. There, once a year, a dance called abuang is performed in which the unmarried girls of the village appear dressed in their best, wearing gold flower head-dresses and meet bachelor boys who posture with the girl of their preference in a short dance in which the gestures make one think of a chaste and restrained joged.

Pande Tamblingan Temple

In this Monday, Jan. 27, 2014, file photo, a ship to shore crane unloads a shipping container at the Georgia Ports Authority Garden City terminal, in Savannah, Ga. The Commerce Department reports on the U.S. trade deficit for September.

SINGARAJA - In surviving their life, the Hindu community in Bali always does an activity supported by various things such as hoes, machetes, knives and sacred tools in the form of spear and kris dagger. All the devices are made by Pande clan or ironsmith, a community being good at making weapons of iron. Interestingly, all the descendants of Pande clan in Bali always say prayers in the Pande Tamblingan Temple. Why? At the verge of mangrove forests of Lake Tamblingan lies

a unique temple called the Pande Tamblingan Temple. Balinese people, especially the Pande clan flock to perform prayers in the temple. Although the lake water overflows and floods the outermost courtyard of the temple, it does not dampen the Pande community to say prayers. It aims at invoking safety, especially in carrying out the profession as a weapon maker.

The temple poses the forerunner of the birth of Pande clan since ancient times. It is located about 65 km north of Denpasar, or about 30 km south of Singaraja town.

Precisely, the temple is situated

among the four villages namely the Munduk, Gobleg, Gesing and Umajero. The closest village to the temple is Tamblingan hamlet, belonging to Munduk Village.

The Pande Tamblingan Temple perching on the verge of Lake Tamblingan spread across the area of 2,000 square meters. In the temple the devotees venerate the Lord Pasupati (Lord Brahma), Lingam-Yoni as well as the ancestors of Pande clan. Aside from Pande clan at the four villages, the temple is also venerated by Pande clan from Celuk and Bitra Village (Gianyar), Kayu Putih and Baturiti Village.

Pujawali or anniversary of the temple falls on full moon of the first month in Balinese calendar.

Devotees came to the temple by passing through the woods and riding traditional boat services operated by lake fishermen.

On the inscription originating from Ugrasena period, it was mentioned if the Pande community had been capable of making an armor used in a war, while the inscription from the period of Udayana and Suradipha mentioned the existence of papilihan mas and pwesi as well as Selonding gamelan. gThe inscription states that Pande community and

Selonding gamelan players got the exemption from the obligation of paying taxes,h he added.

During the leadership of Bali ancient kingdom the King Asta Sura Bumi Banten was not subject to the authority of Majapahit. As consequence, a troop under the commander of the Arya Cengceng was assigned to attack the Pande community. Based on the information of secret service, Gajah Mada knew if Tamblingan was the center of the arms industry of the kings in Bali. Afterward, the settlement of Pande Tamblingan was attacked.

Its amphibian forces were spread to all corners of Bali.

Hundreds of trucks force to stop on the side of Jalan Bypass Prof. IB Mantra.

Hundreds of trucks stuck on Jalan Bypass Prof. IB Mantra Semarapura (Bali Post) -

Hundreds of large trucks are still stuck on Jalan Bypass Prof.

IB Mantra, Sunday (Nov 2). The incident occured following the overcrowding at Padangbai Harbor caused by damage to Pier I. Truck drivers looked very distraught because they have been stuck there for the past five days.

One of the drivers, Abdullah, claimed on Sunday that he was resigned to the situation. He claimed to have been stuck since Friday (Oct 31) yet even by Sunday had still not has his turn to cross to Lembar Harbor, Lombok. He is wanting to transport motor vehicles to Lembar.

Another experience was told

by Sukri, a driver who transports foodstuff and other crops, from Java to Bali and wished to resume his journey to Lombok. He admitted to have resigned himself to the situation. He worried that his freight would rot on the truck. “If I cannot depart tomorrow, I am afraid the entire freight will rot,” said the driver who transports fruits from Java. Meanwhile, another truck driver brought crops such as onions, garlic and tomatoes. He also worries that his freight will rot in the

middle of the journey before he has time to cross.

Faced with such a situation, hundreds of drivers were forced to overnight on the median of the bypass road with only a piece of cloth as a bed. Other drivers used the front seat of their trucks to sleep.

They hope to get the opportunity to cross. Otherwise, they would suffer great losses.

Chief of Dawan Police, Ketut Suastika, said that for traffic to run smoothly along the KlungkungKarangasem road section, hundreds of trucks were forced to be held in three locations. These include the parking lot of Padangbai Harbor, a stopover at Yeh Malet Karangasem and Jalan Bypass Kusamba. Several police personnel of traffic affairs from Dawan Police and Klungkung Police were assigned to manage the parking of each truck so as not to interfere with the smoothness of traffic. His party coordinated with the police ranks at Karangasem Police and the ASDP authority at Padangbai. “Our officers are on rotating duty to monitor the condition 24 hours a day,” he said.

claiming one fatality. The latest information from the harbor states that there has been no significant development related to the repair of Padangbai Pier I. So, it is unclear how long the hundreds of trucks could be waiting. Meanwhile, the Padangbai Pier II was also reported to often be crowded after receiving the freight loading and unloading of the vessels from Lembar Harbor. Even, the mooring of Nusa Jaya Abadi roro vessel from Nusa Penida was also often hampered.

As a result, it took hours to dock at Padangbai Harbor.

As reported previously (IBP/ Oct 31), Padangbai Pier I is still not operational. The repairs are estimated to take a long time because repairs to the dock piling have to be done. The Padangbai Pier I was damaged after being hit by KMP Andika Nusantara. Manager of the PT ASDP Padangbai, Arsil, admitted that his party could not ascertain when the repairs would be completed. Obviously, the repair process was said to have been under progress. A team from the Surabaya Institute of Technology (ITS) had come down twice to conduct a study and survey in order to check the level of the damage. (kmb31)

Managing Director of PD Pasar Buleleng, Gede Putu Satwika Yadnya, said on Monday (Nov 3) from the Atiti Wisma Lobby of the Buleleng Regent Office, that his party attempted to coordinate with the textile workers through various approaches. Because of the lack of visitors and buyers, the traders seemed to reluctant to sell at the shanties of Seririt temporary market. “We have issued the second reprimand letter, giving traders next thirty days to immediately occupy the shanties. If they are still reluctant to occupy them, maybe we’ll give them to the other traders that are willing to sell there,” he said.

Use of the shanties for selling had been offered by PD Pasar for some time now. However there has been no indication that the textile traders would rush to use the shan-

ties provided. Satwika did not deny the conditions at the market, where many other traders lined up to sell in the shanties that were rejected by textile traders. In the future, his party plans to take decisive action by dismantling the shanties along the roadside around the market.

“We are proposing this area to be used as a night market and trust that it will be more effective. If they are still unused, we will immediately dismantle them,” he said.

Textile traders who do not occupy the temporary market provided by the PD Pasar Buleleng would just lose their registration rights in the temporary market. When the Seririt Market has been completed, the traders will still be entitled to take advantage of the shanties in the market, according to their registration rights. (kmb34)

Freelance prostitute steals motorcycle Denpasar (Bali Post) -

Nengah Tirta Adnyana reported his missing Honda Beat motorcycle to police on Tuesday (Oct 21). It was stolen from the courtyard of a boarding house on Jalan Sulastri Gang XI, East Denpasar, Tuesday (Oct 21). After an investigation, the officers discovered the culprit to be a commercial sex workers, suspect Faizatun Naimah aka Ela, 25, from Situbondo, East Java.

“Sometimes the suspect hangs out at Lumintang and Padanggalak. So, she is not settled in one location, fo rthis reason she reffers to herself a freelance prostitute. We arrested the suspect several hours after the incident,” said Chief of the East Denpasar Criminal Investigation Unit, Donny Bayuanggoro, Monday (Nov 3).

According to the Chief of Criminal Investigation Unit, the results of an investigation were based on an eye witness account form a citi-

zen with the initials AS, who saw the woman described as short and plump, pushing a motorcycle away form the scene of the crime. When the boarding house occupants were questioned, the woman was said to be at home and to have gone out on a motorcycle taxi. The officers looked for the motorcycle taxi rider and, at Biaung, Kertalangu, Denpasar, found one with the initials IK. Then, IK told the officers that the woman was known as Ela. The motorcycle taxi rider had met her at Padanggalak complex and was asked to transport her to the boarding house on Jalan Sulatri Gang XI, Denpasar. After that, he was told to drive her to Lumintang, West Denpasar.

Based on the information oobtained from IK, police searched for the suspect at the Lumintang complex. The prostitute from Situbondo told the officer that she was be unable to ride a motorcycle, let alone steal one. (kmb36)

Amnesty: Israel committed war crimes in Gaza war

Associated Press Writer

JERUSALEM — Amnesty International on Wednesday accused Israel of committing war crimes during the war in the Gaza Strip this summer, saying it displayed “callous indifference” in attacks on family homes in the densely populated coastal area.

The Gaza war left more than 2,100 Palestinians dead, including many civilians according to Palestinian and U.N. officials. Israel says the number of militants killed was much higher and accuses Hamas of using civilians as human shields. On the Israeli side, 66 soldiers and six civilians were killed.

Amnesty said in a report released Wednesday that “Israeli forces killed scores of Palestinian civilians in attacks targeting houses full of families, which in some cases have amounted to war crimes.” Israel’s foreign ministry rejected the report’s findings, saying the London-based rights group “ignores documented war crimes perpetrated

by Hamas.”

“The report does not mention the word terror in relation to Hamas or other armed Palestinian groups, nor mentions tunnels built by Hamas to infiltrate Israel and perpetrate terror attacks,” the ministry said.

Israel launched the Gaza operation in early July in response to steppedup rocket attacks on Israeli cities by the coastal area’s militant Palestinian Hamas rulers. The operation followed a crackdown by Israeli forces in the West Bank, where troops arrested scores of Hamas members, in response to the kidnapping and killings of three teenage Israelis in June by Hamas operatives.

Several weeks later, Jewish extremists kidnapped and burned to death a Palestinian teenager in east Jerusalem in an apparent revenge attack.

But the summer war was the fiercest con-

flict between the two sides in years.

“Israeli forces have brazenly flouted the laws of war by carrying out a series of attacks on civilian homes, displaying callous indifference to the carnage caused,” said Philip Luther, Director of Amnesty’s Middle East and North Africa program.

During the 50 days of fighting, Hamas fired thousands of rockets and mortars at Israeli towns and cities, including Tel Aviv, and used a sophisticated tunnel network to carry out attacks on Israeli military encampments in southern Israel, close to the Gaza border. Some of the tunnels also had exits abutting Israeli civilian communities, giving Hamas the ability to attack them as well.

For its part, Israeli forces carried out sustained aerial, artillery and infantry attacks in Gaza, many of which the Amnesty report found to be indiscriminate.

Israel says the military was as careful as possible to avoid civilian casualties citing its system of providing warning to civilians that strikes on their buildings were coming when possible.

It argues that the heavy civilian death toll is Hamas’ fault, accusing the Islamic militant group of launching rockets — and drawing retaliation — from school yards, residential areas and mosques.

“The report exposes a pattern of attacks on civilian homes by Israeli forces which have shown a shocking disregard for the lives of Palestinian civilians, who were given no warning and had no chance to flee,” Luther said.

Republicans move toward larger House majority Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Republicans held a commanding edge in elections for the House of Representatives on Tuesday, capitalizing on dissatisfaction with President Barack Obama and national malaise to push their majority toward the highest level in 65 years.

The Republicans had won more than 190 seats as polls closed in the East and Midwest and were certain to surpass the 218 needed for a majority if incumbents prevailed as expected in the West. They knocked out Democratic incumbents in Georgia, West Virginia, Illinois, New York and Florida and claimed two open seats in New York and North Carolina.

With Republicans also gaining the majority in the Senate, Obama now faces an opposition-led Congress during his last two years in office.

The president’s party typically loses seats in the elections between presidential ones, but Obama’s low approval ratings around 40 percent have been a drag on fellow Democrats, along with public unease with the Islamic State group threat, the Ebola outbreak and a lackluster recovery from the 2008 recession.

Republicans tightened their grip on the South. Evan Jenkins, a Democrat-turned-Republican state senator in West Virginia, knocked out 19-term Rep. Nick Rahall, one of the last white Democrats representing the region. Republican Rick Allen prevailed over another Southern Democrat, five-term Rep. John

Barrow of Georgia.

Republicans also won the seat of a retiring Democrat Mike McIntyre in North Carolina, knocked out Democrat Joe Garcia in Florida and eased out freshmen Democrats Bill Enyart and Brad Schneider in Illinois.

Republican challengers had the edge in Democratic seats in Maine, New Hampshire, New York and Texas.

Some two dozen Democratic incumbents had been in jeopardy, but just a handful of Republicans faced competitive races. Republican victories in the last such elections in 2010, fueled by the rise of the ultraconservative tea party, gave the party the advantage in redrawing congressional districts.

The Republicans, who came into Tuesday election holding 234 seats, were likely to match the 246 House seats of 1947-1949 when another Democrat, Harry S. Truman, occupied the White House. Democrats still hold the modern-day edge for most seats — 292 — in 1979.

A solid Republican majority means Speaker John Boehner, who was on the ballot for a 13th term, can afford defections from his increasingly conservative caucus and still get legislation passed. Boehner raised $102 million to ensure that Republicans would tighten their grip on the House.

Obama, whose party lost 63 seats in 2010, would become the two-term president with the most midterm defeats, surpassing Truman’s 74.

All 435 House seats were on the ballot Tuesday, but the roster of competitive races was less than 10 percent of those.

Scientists see mechanism for spontaneous HIV ‘cure’ Agence France-Press

PARIS - French scientists said Tuesday they had found the genetic mechanism by which two HIV-infected men may have experienced a “spontaneous cure”, and said it offered a new strategy in the fight against AIDS. Both men were infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), one of them 30 years ago, but never developed AIDS symptoms.

The AIDS-causing virus remained in their immune cells but was inactivated because its genetic code had been altered, the scientists said.

The change appeared to be linked to increased activity of a common enzyme named APOBEC, they theorised.

The “apparent spontaneous cure” throws up an intriguing avenue for drug engineers, the team said in a statement.

“The work opens up therapeutic avenues for a cure, using or stimulating this enzyme, and avenues for identifying individu-

als among newly-infected patients who have a chance of a spontaneous cure.”

The work, published in the journal Clinical Microbiology and Infection, was carried out by scientists at France’s Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm).

HIV replicates by invading human CD4 immune cells, which it reprogrammes to become virus factories.

A rare group of people -- fewer than one percent of those infected -- are naturally able to rein in viral replication and keep the virus at clinically undetectable levels.

They are known as “elite controllers”, but the mechanism by which they keep the virus at bay remains a mystery.

The French group looked at two

such individuals, a 57-year-old man diagnosed HIV-positive in 1985, and a 23-year-old diagnosed in 2011, and sequenced their virus genomes.

Though they remained infected, standard tests could not detect the virus in their blood.

The team found that in both cases, the virus was unable to replicate in immune cells due to mutations in its genetic code.

The researchers suggested spontaneous evolution between humans and the virus, a process called “endogenisation” that is believed to have neutralised other viruses in humans in the past.

A similar process has been witnessed in a population of koalas that has integrated an AIDS-like virus into their genes, neutralised

$200 million per year. That’s on top of the foundation’s other donations to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

“Small steps won’t get the job done,” and scientists don’t have all the tools they need to eradicate malaria, Gates said.

His plan includes developing a drug or vaccine to purge the malaria parasite in people who carry it without showing symptoms — a “human reservoir” that helps spread the disease.

“If we commit to investing in all of these approaches, I believe that we can eradicate malaria in the next

generation,” Gates said. “Let me put it this way — I just turned 59 the other day. If we can’t get rid of malaria in my lifetime, I’d be very disappointed.”

Gates spoke at the annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, a conference that usually gets little public notice, about diseases often referred to as “neglected.”

That is not the case this year.

On Wednesday, Louisiana officials created a stir by asking the 3,500 people registered for the conference to stay away if they have been to certain West African countries or

it, and were passing resistance on to their offspring.

“We propose that HIV cure may occur through HIV endogenisation in humans,” the team wrote.

“These findings suggest that without therapeutic and prophylactic strategies, after several decades of HIV/host integrations and millions of deaths, it is likely that a few individuals might have endogenised and neutralised the virus and transmitted it to their progeny,” they added.

“We believe that the persistence of HIV DNA can lead to cure, and protection, from HIV.” The approach hitherto has been the opposite: to try and clear all traces of HIV from human cells and from cell reservoirs where they hide.

“We suggest that persistence of integrated HIV DNA is not a barrier, but on the contrary, may be a prerequisite to HIV cure,” said the study authors.

NEW ORLEANS — Philanthropist Bill Gates says he wants to end malaria in his lifetime and will give more money toward that goal, part of his broader fight against tropical diseases that are getting unusual public attention because of the Ebola outbreak.

In an interview with The Associated Press and in prepared remarks for a speech Sunday at a global health conference in New Orleans, the Microsoft co-founder said his Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation would increase its malaria program budget by 30 percent, to more than - Malaria

- Dengue Fever

- Polio

- Chikungunya

It kills more than 600,000 people each year, mostly children in Africa but also in Asia, Latin America and other areas.

It is caused by parasites spread through the bite of infected mosquitoes. In areas where the disease is common, people can develop partial immunity — they carry the parasite but don’t get sick, and mosquitoes who bite them become infected and then spread the disease when they bite others.

Gates called polio eradication “my top priority,” noting the viral disease remains endemic in three countries — Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan. He cited progress: Polio was eliminated in India earlier this year, and as of early September, Nigeria had confirmed only six wild poliovirus cases this year.

have had contact with an Ebola patient in the last 21 days, the incubation period for Ebola.

Conference organizers called the stance an overreaction to Ebola fears, and said it would prevent some scientists from presenting studies on the outbreak, which has killed about 5,000 people in West Africa this year.

In all, Gates said his foundation will commit more than $500 million this year to fight malaria, pneumonia, and diarrheal and parasitic diseases in poor countries. Here are some he discussed.

The conference comes “at a criti-

cal moment in the history of global health” because of the world’s largest outbreak of Ebola, Gates said.

He and his wife have pledged $50 million to help contain it and for research on treatments, rapid tests and vaccines. Another Microsoft co-founder, Paul Allen, has pledged $100 million, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, $25 million.

The global response to Ebola initially stumbled and revealed flaws in our health systems, Gates said. Since then, some countries and groups have helped, but much more is needed, he said.

The mosquito-borne disease, also known as breakbone fever for the pain it causes, has spread from a few countries a few decades ago to more than 100 today, including the southern United States. An experimental vaccine seems to prevent most severe disease and hospitalizations. Details of a major study on it will be presented at the conference on Monday, and Gates said his foundation would work to build on that work and make a vaccine available to all who need it.

Another mosquito-borne disease, chikungunya causes fever and extremely painful joints. It spread to the Caribbean last year after expanding in Africa and South Asia, and in July, the first locally acquired case in the U.S. was documented in Florida. It’s an important field for research and vaccine development, Gates said.

“We propose a new vision of HIV cure through integration, inactivation and potential endogenisation of a viral genome into the human genome.”

The team said they did not believe the two patients were unique or that the phenomenon was new.

And they called for “massive sequencing” of human DNA, particularly from Africans who had been exposed to HIV for longest, to find further proof.

Only one person is thought to have ever been cured of HIV: Timothy Ray Brown who had bone marrow transplants as a treatment for leukaemia, from a donor with resistance to HIV. A baby given anti-AIDS drugs immediately after birth for 18 months, was at first also thought to have been cured, but the virus later came back.

Various problems are faced by farmers in Gianyar. One of them is the price drop. This frequently happens due to simultaneous harvest such as the price of chili that once reached IDR 5,000 per kilogram.

Price of chili unstable, farmer needs help of marketing Bali Post

GIANYAR - Various problems are faced by farmers in Gianyar. One of them is the price drop.

This frequently happens due to simultaneous harvest such as the price of chili that once reached IDR 5,000 per kilogram. gLast month, the price of chili to collectors slumped to IDR 5,000,h said Wayan Kerta, a farmer who cultivated land at Subak Cawu, Sukawati.

He explained that there were 13 subak groups in Sukawati subdistrict, divided into three groups. Each group cultivated different plants to regulate the water capacity increasingly reduced due to drought. But at harvest time, farmers reaped the crops at the same time, so the collectors often had excessive stock. gAs has been known, chili cannot last long, so if the collector had excessive stock, the price could promptly slump,h he explained.

Nevertheless, Wayan Kerta admitted that currently the price of chili at the market began to normal with the range of IDR 15,000 to IDR 18,000. But, he remained to hope the Gianyar government to issue a policy that could assist the farmers in the matter of marketing and attempted in order the crop prices could be stable. gWe just know how to grow plant, so the marketing matter is handed over to collectors. Thus, we hope the government can help the marketing of our products,h he hoped.

Meanwhile, the Head of Gianyar Industry and Trade Agency, Suamba, said the complaints about the unstable price of chili were commonplace. Nevertheless, his party stayed to help farmers in the matter of marketing. gIt is commonplace when the chili price drops, farmers will complain. Conversely, when the price increases, consumers will complain. We will attempt a new innovation to help farmers,h he said.

Nevertheless, his party would remain to control the stability of price and the stock in Gianyar. It was done by submitting the price of groceries once a week to provincial government. gEvery Tuesday, we submit the price list and the amount of stock to Bali government. In other words, should there be any significant change,s it can be tackled together immediately,h he said. (kmb35)

DENPASAR - Apparently the crafters of silver accessory in Bali never get tired of making creative products. There are always new creations made to delight customers, especially women. Apart from composite brooches, the Cleopatra necklace has become a trend since the past few months.

One of the silversmiths from Tanggahan Tengah hamlet, Demulih village, Susut, Bangli, Nengah Tanya, said that the quite largesized necklace named Cleopatra model was being loved by many consumers. It was proved by the number of consumers asking him to make the necklace like the one put on by the Egyptian queen Cleopatra.

According to Tanya, since the size was quite large with a wide front design, this necklace was mostly used in pre-wedding session as a fashion accessory. gNow, it has become a trend. Such model remained to last within the past six months,h he explained.

He admitted the Cleopatra model could survive for long enough when compared to other models. Some models of other accessories like brooches could usually last for a maximum of two months.

Riverside inspection pavement made into waste disposal Bali Post

NEGARA - Residents still have very low awareness of not disposing of rubbish into the river. Even, the construction of pavement at the Ijo Gading riverside newly accomplished was even used for landfills. Such condition was encountered in person by the Regent of Jembrana, I Putu Artha, when making a site inspection to the riparian area arrangement, Friday (Oct 10). Actually, the riparian arrangement with paving blocks at the Ijo Gading riverside, Loloan Barat, had just been accomplished.

Accompanied by Chief of the Regional Development Planning Board (Bappeda) I Ketut Swijana and the Head of Public Works I Gusti Putu Mertadana, the Regent Artha checked the river bank along 300 meters. However, when exploring the path near the settlement, the regent was troubled by the existence of heaped rubbish near

the pavement project recently completed.

When encountering the phenomena, he then called the headman of Loloan Barat, Sadikin, and rebuked him. gIf the condition is like this, it will turn shabby, right? If possible, involve the residents to maintain the sanitation through mutual works. Do not be left like this, itfs very shabby,h explained Artha. According to him, the riparian arrangement was intended to make the area well-organized. As a result, it would be cleaner and nicer to be seen.

Meanwhile, Head of Jembrana Development Planning Board, Ketut Swijana, said the construction of riverside inspection pavement sourced from the Provincial Public Works, respectively 300 meters for Loloan and 600 meters for Mertasari with the budget worth IDR 1.5 billion. The arrangement was the first phase, while the second phase was scheduled to be continued in 2015. (kmb26)

since ten years ago also made a wide range of accessories such as Balinese composite brooches, necklaces, neck ornament and additional ornament to jade bracelet and wooden bangles. Aside from using raw materials of silver, his workshop also produced accessory products made from copper and gold. gWe did not make an alpaca. If we make it by using gold miser, then the gold content on the other jewelry that we make will diminish,h he explained.

All this time, he supplied the products to a number of jewelry and accessory shops in Bangli and Denpasar. He said that silver accessory products were never quiet of enthusiasts. There were always consumers placing some orders on him.

Similarly, he did not deny if there was indeed a decline in demand after the Bali bombing incident. gThe decline chiefly happened to jewelry products made from gold and silver. Formerly, the gold jewelry order was worked on by up to three artisans, but now it is only made by a single artisan,h said Tanya.

Apart from the influence of the Bali bombing, the decline also occurred due to expensive price of gold. To get around the high price of gold, many consumers then chose gold-plated silver accessories. (ina)

Water crisis getting more serious

The toffee makers in Klungkung are having trouble in finding the proper ingredient for their product

Toffee makers at Besan confused

Demand is high, ingredient hard to get Semarapura (Bali Post)—

Evidently the dry season of the last few months is benefiting the majority of small businesses in the Klungkung region. One such business is the snakefruit and jackfruit toffee maker at Kawan hamlet, Besan village, Dawan. Minimal rainfall actually facilitates the toffee production at the local village. The jackfruit and snakefruit toffee makers at Besan village are even having trouble producing enough toffee, as the demand for toffee has begun to soar for the past month. and processed into toffee. Once cooked, all the toffee ingredients were then dried in the sun. The drying process is admittedly quite long. But with the current drought conditions, the drying process runs for about six days. “During rainy season, it usually takes longer, and the results are not as good with risk of molding,” said Pure.

Another toffee producer, Nyoman Yuliastuti faces similar challenges. She claimed to be able to make 2,500 toffees each day.

However, the number of toffees produced per day depends on the availability of the ingredients and the demand. If the ingredient are available, then we could make toffee. She also said that she trouble meeting the increasing demand from Denpasar last month.

The water crisis hitting residents in the barren regions of Karangasem is getting more severe. Residents purchasing water are forced to stand in line. According to one of the local residents, Komang Suparta, Monday (Nov 3), his family had ordered water but after five days no water had come.

Suparta from the southeast foot of Mount Agung said that his village had four towers whose water was worth IDR 150,000 was transported there by truck.. Another Butus resident, Nyoman Pasar, said that he purchased water IDR 140,000 worth of water for four towers. “For other people living at a greater distance and in difficult terrain, the price of water is higher.

At Nangka hamlet or Kemoning hamlet, the price of water reaches IDR 250,000 per four towers,” he said.

The water seller serving the residents at Butus, Tanah Aron, Nangka and the surrounding residents, is from Umanyar. This clean water seller offered cheaper prices.

Lately, however prices increased, to to the payment of levies to the village of Abai.

Residents at Tanah Aron, Nangka, Kemoning, Butus and surrounding areas have been afflicted

by this severe water crisis. Nengah Pasar said that the two geo membrane dam projects at Tanah Aron and Nangka have dried out. The water supply was not sufficient for the purposes of Nangka residents, let alone for residents at other hamlet.

A resident of Umanyar, Ababi village, Abang subdistrict, Nyoman Ngantik, said last Tuesday that the water supply through pipelines to his village had not been running for three days. He did not know the cause, whether there might be something clogging the water flow.

Suparta hoped the Telaga Waja water pipeline project would also be able to distribute water to residents of Butus. So far, the region besieged by the quarry activities did not show any indication of being about to get clean water through the pipeline project. Actually, the residents at Butus village and the villages upland from there, regularly face water crisis during the dry season. Some plants in the fields of Butus such as coffee have already wilted. The situation was then exacerbated by thick dust sticking to the foliages at the edge of the highway due to passing trucks conveying quarry materials including sand. (013)

THE interest of people from Jembrana to participate in the resettlement program remains quite high. Unfortunately, the quota of family to be moved has decreases when compared to that of previous years. Besides this, the destination of resettlement programs is also different from lastyear. This condition has causesd a number of families who were initially interested in joining the program to cancel they request.

“The reason for this, is that the new destination of the resettlement program is far from where other families had moved to (Sulawesi) so some applicants have cancelled. However, the public interest in the resettlement program remains high,” said the Head of Social, Manpower and Resettlement Agency, I Made Bu-

diasa. For this year, his party did not know for sure about the quota for Jembrana, but four families had been undergoing training.

According to Budiasa, the resettlement destination this year was at Liangdok village, Tompaso Baru subdistrict, South Minahasa County, Southeast Sulawesi.

This destination is new for residents of Jembrana. Last year a total of 24 families were sent to Watutau village, Piore Lore subdistrict, Poso County, Central Sulawesi. At the resettlement destination, each family is given two hectares of land that can be used for cultivation and residential land. “Actually the location is quite strategic, supported by road access. Besides, some residents have been quite successful,” he added. (olo)

One of the employees of the toffee maker, Nyoman Murni, said on Monday (Nov 3) that the snakefruit and jackfruit toffee production had run smoothly since the past one month. She also admitted to being overwhelmed by the task of aquirinng enough ingredients to meet the high demand due to the dry long dry season Almost every other day, there were constomers ordering as many as 5,000 pieces. “It is difficult to find snakefruit in the dry season.

Besides, the price also rises. We could only get three large basins this month, while the demand continues to grow,” said Murni.

According to Murni, they get their snakefruit from Menanga region, Karangsem, from the moor belonging to local people. All the ingredients are put into a furnace

we also get overwhelmed because there are only two of us to to cut and wrap the toffee” she said.

Nyoman explained that the demand for snakefruit and jackfruit toffee comes mostly from Denpasar. Almost every other day this month, they provided 2,500 pieces of snakefruit and jackfruit toffee. She claimed that her boss, Nengah Yuliati, did not make much profit, despite the high demand.

Each piece of snakefruit and jackfruit toffee was sold for IDR 500, while pthe er kilogram price is 40,000. “The type of toffee we make depends on the order, sir. If we can get many orders, we will do it. Sometimes we do not get any orders for 10 days because there were no orders from guests,” she said. (119)

Spreading breast cancer awareness and fund raising

IBP

NUSA DUA - Bali Pink Ribbon Foundation (BPR) proudly held the annual charity Bali Pink Ribbon walk on October 25, 2014. The event took the place at BTDC area Nusa Dua. The route of Bali Pink Ribbon Walk was set in the stunning grounds of the BTDC area in Nusa Dua (The Opposite Bali Collection Complex). The route is set along the beautiful manicured gardens of Nusa Dua and along the beach looping back to the main area where the festive began.

To support the program, the event is welcoming the participants from Indonesia and other countries of all levels of fitness to join the 5 km Bali Pink Ribbon Walk. The registration ticket is IDR 150 K per person which includes a walk t-shirt. Children up to 14 years old is IDR 75 K per person. By special invitation, local school students walked for free.

Head of Yayasan Kanker Indonesia (YKI) Badung branch Ratna Gde Agung was also attended and joined the walk with other participants.

By joining the Bali Pink Ribbon walk, the participants spread up the breast cancer awareness to other people they met after the event.

Bali Pink Ribbon is gaining extensive recognition in the public eye with the good work that they are doing our in their education and screening programs. According to Pink Ribbon Foundation founder Gaye Warren, this year’s event aims to raise funds to purchase a mobile breast screening bus. It will be used mobile to reach more villages in remote areas in Bali.

‘Divergent’ star tops People’s Choice nominees Agence France-Presse

LOS ANGELES - Rising Hollywood star Shailene Woodley -- the face of “Divergent” and “The Fault in Our Stars” -- topped big-screen nominations for the People’s Choice awards announced Tuesday with four nods.

Brad Pitt, Robert Downey Jr, Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson were among those shortlisted in the favorite movie actor and actress categories.

On the music front, British soul sensation Sam Smith dominated with four nominations for the awards, which will be given out in Los Angeles on January 7.

Woodley -- whose turn in “Divergent” echoed Jennifer Lawrence’s star-making role in the “Hunger Games” films -- scored nods for favorite movie duo both in “Divergent” and “The Fault in Our Stars,” as well as favorite action movie actress and favorite dramatic movie actress.

For favorite movie, the nominees are “22 Jump Street,” “Captain America: The Winter

Soldier,” “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Maleficent,” and “X-Men: Days of Future Past.”

Favorite film actor nominees are Pitt, Downey Jr, Channing Tatum, Hugh Jackman and Mark Wahlberg, while up for favorite actress are Jolie, Johansson, Lawrence, Emma Stone and Melissa McCarthy.

On the small screen, three shows are nominated in five categories each: “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Supernatural” and “The Vampire Diaries,” according to People’s Choice organizers.

Favorite TV show nominees are “The Big Bang Theory,” “Game Of Thrones,” “NCIS,” “Once Upon a Time” and “The Walking Dead.”

On the music side of things, Britain’s Smith was nominated for favorite male artist along with Blake Shelton, Ed Sheeran, John Legend and “Happy” singer Pharrell Williams.

Favorite female artists nominees were Beyonce, Iggy Azalea, Katy Perry, Sia and Taylor Swift. Nominations are based on some 70 million votes cast by fans.

LOS ANGELES - As Americans went to the polls for mid-term elections Tuesday, Angelina Jolie revealed that she is open to a possible role in politics, diplomacy or public service.

The A-list star, who is already known for her humanitarian work on various causes, wondered aloud whether she would better achieve her aims as an actress or in another role.

“When you work as a humanitarian, you are conscious that politics have to be considered,” she told Vanity Fair in a cover story.

“Because if you really want to make an extreme change, then you have a responsibility,” she added, before saying: “But I honestly don’t know in what role I would be more useful -- I am conscious of what I do for a living, and that (could) make it less possible.”

Asked directly if she could pursue a life in politics, diplomacy or public service, she replied: “I am open.” She gave no more details.

Since 2012 Jolie has traveled on more than 40 missions around the world as a special envoy for the United Nations Refugee Agency. Last year Jolie was awarded an honorary Oscar for her humanitarian work.

Last month the star of such Hollywood films as “Tomb Raider” and “Maleficent” was made an honorary dame for her work combatting sexual violence. Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II presented the award at London’s

Buckingham Palace.

Jolie’s directorial debut feature, 2011’s Golden Globe-nominated “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” was set against the background of the early 1990s Bosnian war.

Her upcoming film, “Unbroken,” is about Olympian and World War II POW survivor Louis Zamperini. It will be released on December 25 in the United States.

Jolie will next direct a “sweeping epic” film about veteran Kenyan conservationist Richard Leakey’s fight with ivory poachers, the studio behind the movie announced in September.

Fight for Injustice

ForBali held cultural parade Bali Post

Cultural parade to reject the reclamation plan in Benoa Bay was carried out in Bajra Sandhi Monument in Renon, Denpasar on Tuesday, November 4, 2014. The parade was done by hundreds of people from Balinese who Reject Reclamation Plan (ForBali).

They carried many kinds of performance done in front of Governor Office in Renon such as giant puppet of rat. The members of ForBali gave their opinions in front of the office. They stated that the reclamation is not beneficially for the people.

“Let’s fight injustice. Don’t let bad investors pile up Bali. The

tourists are coming not because the hotels or villas but because the nature and culture,” said one of the member from Jembrana. The coordinator of Kuta Perjuangan, Gung Jhon stated that the rat puppet was used to show that the government officers are like the animal.

“The rat is also the symbol of greedy investors who are trying

to eat away everything from the island. However, eventually we want the people power will win,” he added. The giant rat puppet was placed on top of giant hand and a bulldozer.

The spokesman of ForBali, Suriadi Darmoko said that the action was taken to demand the effort to carry out the reclamation in Benoa

Bay is canceled. They also asked the commitment from the President Joko Widodo to prevent the plan.

“We urged the president to cancel the regulation no 51 year 2014 because it against the other rule that protects the coastal area in Indonesia so the reclamation plan must be canceled,” he added.

All ministries also urged to stop the process to publish the license of the reclamation.

Musician

There were also several musicians who give their opinion

through singing. “The policy of reclamation is not beneficially for Bali. Benoa Bay is a conservation area and must be protected,” said the personnel of Nosstress Gumawarma.

Another musician, Agha stated that the reclamation plan is not suitable with the balance way of life. He thinks that people should take care of the nature and not the other way around. “By reclamation, we will not protect the nature.

There is great hope that the new government can reject this plan,” he added. (kmb32)
