LOS ANGELES - Pop star Taylor Swift, ballerina Misty Copeland and actress Emma Stone led a slew of newcomers to Vanity Fair’s international best-dressed list on Wednesday, an annual compilation of well-heeled, high-profile talent and socialites.

For the year ’s best-dressed men, 65-year-old British actor Bill Nighy led the list, which also featured oil heir Stavros Niarchos III, Apple designer Jony Ive and Britain’s Prince Harry. Vanity Fair editors compile the annual list, which for the first time featured a separate Hollywood segment for the movie world’s best-dressed stars. Picking Louis Vuitton as her favorite designer, rising Swedish
actress Alicia Vikander, 26, was ranked at No. 1 on the Hollywood list, ahead of Oscar-winning Eddie Redmayne, 33, in second place and Stone, also 26, at No. 3.

Salma Hayek: Studios ‘don’t want me but I don’t really care’
LOS ANGELES — Salma Hayek says that while Hollywood studios may not be calling as much lately, she’s staying plenty busy. “I think they don’t want me but I don’t really care,” said the Oscar-nominated actress. Hayek produced and voices a character in the animated film adaptation of Lebanese writer Kahlil Gibran’s 1923 book of prose poetry, “The Prophet.” It’s a passion project, opening in U.S. theatres on Aug. 7, that she said was partially inspired by her 7-year-old daughter Valentina Pinault. “It’s meaningful. It’s hopeful. It’s uplifting. It’s respectful. It honors children,” Hayek said. “Many people tell me, ‘But they are not going to like poetry.’ Children love poetry. That’s why we have the nursery rhymes and then we don’t give it to them anymore. It’s their first language. They think in metaphor.” Hayek hasn’t been as much of a red carpet fixture as she once was in the entertainment world. She said she’s been busy with charity events.
Don Johnson: I had a big ego during ‘Miami Vice’ days
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Time has humbled Don Johnson. It’s been 30 years since his TV cop hit “Miami Vice” went on the air and the actor says he’s changed since then. “I was a brash, terrified, young man with a big ego and a lot of ambition,” Johnson, now 65, told a
panel of TV critics Wednesday. “I would like to think that since then I’ve let those things that don’t really serve you kind of fall to the wayside, and really for me, it’s about the joy and enthusiasm that comes with being given the opportunity that comes with being here to do this.”
Johnson was promoting his ABC drama, “Blood & Oil.” It’s set against the biggest oil find in American history in a North Dakota town, where a millionaire is said to be made every day. If it sounds like “Dallas,” Johnson said it’s not. “The only thing we have in
common is tangentially oil is a part of it,” he said. The cast includes Chace Crawford, Scott Michael Foster and Amber Valletta. “Blood & Oil” premieres Sept. 27 at 9 p.m. EDT. (ap)
“I’ve been getting awards from different places for the humanitarian work and I’ve had a lot of movies come out. Then there is my husband (French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault) also who takes me to many places. There’s that stuff too and I’ve just been busy with life,” she said. Sitting in a long sleeve striped button-up Gucci wrap dress, the “Frida” actress scrunched her face to display lines when asked about turning 49 next month. “No Botox yet, you can see,” she said, adding that her 40s had been a “great adventure.” “You don’t look as bad as you thought you were going to look. You don’t feel as old as you thought you were going to feel. It’s a myth. Forties are full of life,” she said. “The only thing that is tough about the 40s is when you haven’t had a child. This is awful.” She added, “And the men today are terrible because when you are coming to the 40s they ... start going away. But you know what? (Not) the good ones.” (ap)

Malaysia says plane debris is from MH370 wreckage
KUALA LUMPUR - Debris found on a remote island a week China -- the country that lost the most ago is from flight MH370, Malaysia’s prime minister said Thurs- passengers in the disaster. “We now have physical evidence day, confirming that the plane which mysteriously disappeared that, as I announced on 24th March 17 months ago met a tragic end in the Indian Ocean. “Today, 515 days since the plane disappeared, it is with a very heavy heart that I must tell you that an international team of experts has conclusively confirmed that the aircraft debris found on Reunion Island is indeed from MH370,” Najib Razak told reporters. French prosecutors used more cautious language, saying only there was a “very high probability” the wreckage came from MH370, and that they intended to do more tests before making a definitive conclusion. The Malaysia Airlines jet disappeared on March 8 last year, inexplicably veering off course en route from Kuala Lumpur to
Beijing with 239 people on board. The disappearance created one of the biggest mysteries in the history of aviation, sparking a colossal, multinational hunt for the aircraft and a myriad of conspiracy theories about its fate. Last week’s discovery of a twometre-long (almost seven-foot) wing part called a flaperon on the French Indian Ocean island of Reunion provided the first glimmer of hope for relatives desperate for answers. It was examined on Wednesday at a military lab outside the French city of Toulouse in the presence of Malaysian and Australian experts, Boeing employees and representatives from
last year, flight MH370 tragically ended in the southern Indian Ocean,” Najib said. Malaysia Airlines hailed the news as a “major breakthrough”. “We expect and hope that there would be more objects to be found which would be able to help resolve this mystery,” said the airline in a statement. Australian authorities, who have been leading the massive search for the plane, on Thursday also expressed optimism that the main part of the plane would be found. “We’re confident that we’re looking in the right area and we’ll find the aircraft there,” Martin Dolan, chief commissioner of the Australian Trans-
port Safety Bureau, told ABC radio. Sara Weeks, the sister of MH370 passenger Paul Weeks of New Zealand, said the confirmation ended “a week of turmoil”. “We’ve had 17 months of nothing... so actually finding something is the first step towards pinpointing where it is,” Weeks told the Fairfax New Zealand media group. Some families said the confirmation was not enough to lay the matter to rest, as they reiterated demands to know why the plane went off course, flying for hours after its communications and tracking systems were shut down. Many relatives accuse Najib’s government and the airline of a bungled response to the disaster, possible cover-up, and insensitive treatment of families, charges that have been vehemently denied.
In China -- where relatives of MH370 passengers have consistently expressed beliefs that their loved ones are alive, despite the mounting evidence of a fatal crash -- many congregated outside the Beijing offices of Malaysia Airlines to reject the latest news. “I don’t believe this latest information about the plane, they have been lying to us from the beginning,” said Zhang Yongli, whose daughter was on the plane.

Dwelling time causing higher prices on goods
When the loading and unloading of containers (known as dwelling time) increases, so does the price of the goods
being shipped. Those who ship these goods must account for the added cost which is then passed on to consumers. Excessively long dwelling times were recently discovered at
Tanjung Priok Harbor, North Jakarta, and some harbors in Bali. Chairman of the Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) -Bali Chapter, Panudiana Kuhn, said that
Benoa Port is the busiest port in Bali for loading and unloading containers.
drawn out dwelling times are an ongoing problem and provide a nest for corruption. Continued in page 2 Disruptive...
