LOS ANGELES - As HBO’s hit “Game of Thrones” heads “Game of Thrones” is based on.

“Of course, Hollywood is Holtowards its concluding seasons, George R. R. Martin, the author behind the medieval fantasy series, has already lined up his next lywood, and nothing is ever certain in development... but I think I hope TV project, a new anthology series called “Wild Cards.”

The new sci-fi series was announced by Martin over the weekend and will be based on the “Wild Cards” novels and stories written by numerous authors and curated by Martin and Melinda Snodgrass.

The “Wild Cards,” first released in 1987, refer to a small percentage of the population that survived an alien attack and obtained super powers, with characters such as Croyd Crenson, Jetboy, the Four Aces and Dr. Tachyon.

Universal Cable Productions, the network behind shows such as cyber hacking drama “Mr. Robot,” confirmed that it is working to develop a prospective series on “Wild Cards.” No further details were given.

Martin said he won’t be working on the series himself as he has an exclusive development deal with HBO, and is writing “The Winds of Winter,” the highly anticipated sixth book in his “A Song of Ice and Fire” novels that

I cross my fingers that the Wild Cards will be coming to your home screens in the next year or two,” Martin said on his website.

“Game of Thrones,” nominated for a leading 23 Emmy awards this year, follows the epic fantasy tale of a multi-generational struggle for control of the Iron Throne and rule over the Seven Kingdoms.

The television series has overtaken Martin’s books, and is expected to conclude in two years’ time with its eighth season. (rtr)

LONDON - France midfielder Paul Pogba has rejoined Manchester United from Italian champions Juventus on a five-year contract, with the option to extend for a further year, the Premier League club said in a statement on Monday.

British media said United splashed out a world record fee of 89 million pounds ($115.98 million) on the 23--year-old, eclipsing the 100 million euros ($110.84 million) Real Madrid paid for Welshman Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013.

“I am delighted to rejoin United. It has always been a club with a special place in my heart and I am really looking forward to working with (manager) Jose Mourinho,” Pogba said in a statement on United’s official wesbite (www.manutd.com).

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Juventus and have some fantastic memories of a great club with players that I count as friends. But I feel the time is right to go back to Old Trafford.

“I always enjoyed playing in front of the fans and can’t wait to make my contribution to the team. This is the right club for me to achieve everything I hope to in the game.”

Pogba is the latest of Mourinho’s new signings following defender Eric Bailly, striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan as the Portuguese coach revamps the under-performing squad he inherited from Louis van Gaal.

“Paul is one of the best players in the world and will be a key part of the United team I want to build here for the future,” added Mourinho. “He is quick, strong, scores goals and reads the game better than many players much older than he is.

“At 23, he has the chance to make that position

his own here over many years. He is young and will continue to improve; he has the chance to be at the heart of this club for the next decade and beyond.”

GREAT FOOTBALLER The France midfielder, whose strength and range of passing should allow United to play a more expansive game than the limited style adopted by Dutchman Van Gaal, has been a hot property all summer with Real Madrid also hovering.

“Everyone is interested in Pogba. He is a great footballer and when you are Madrid you always want the best,” Real coach Zinedine Zidane had said before United wrapped up the deal for a player who scored 34 goals in 178 games for Juventus.

Pogba joined Juve in 2012, having come through Le Havre’s youth system before moving to United’s academy in 2009.

He won four Serie A titles and two Coppa Italia trophies in a successful spell with the Turin club but was criticised after failing to shine in the 2015 Champions League final defeat by Barcelona and France’s Euro 2016 loss to Portugal on home soil.

Craftsmen of Celuk must have entrepreneurship

GIANYAR-Tight competition and the increasing number of arti- sans to switch professions have caused the fame of Celuk as the center for silver and gold jewelry craft to fade. To regain the glory of Celuk, local people especially the artisans must

have an entrepreneurship. This was expressed by the Head of the Bali Trade and Industry Agency, Ni Wayan Kesumawati, at LPD Celuk.

COVER STORY

From page 1

According to her, the government continues to strive so that Celuk silver and gold craft could face the competition ahead. Provision of technical guidance on entrepreneurship for craftsmen is one of the efforts made by the government. Fostering entrepreneurship is considered important because in the future craftsmen must have a strong mental nature, not easily give up and discipline.

“Not only that, the entrepreneurship also has something to do with the ability of the artisans to innovate,” she said.

The government itself is confidence if the triumph of Celuk can be regained. Moreover, Celuk has

already owned a name as the center for silver and gold jewelry craft both in Bali, Indonesia and even overseas.

A similar opinion was expressed by the Head of the Gianyar Industry and Trade Agency, I Wayan Suamba. He said that through technical guidance on entrepreneurship the silversmith and goldsmith at Celuk are expected to get motivated so that they can revive their business.

To that end, the identity of Celuk village as the center for silver and gold jewelry craftsmen can be maintained.

“Celuk has been known as the center for silver jewelry craft since hundreds of years ago. More interestingly, many foreign artisans are also learning the craft at Celuk,” he said. (kmb25)

Ticket price rises, tourist visit predicted to decline 15 percent

TABANAN - The plan of Tanah Lot tourist attraction to rise the ticket price up to 100 percent starting from October or November 2016 is predicted to affect the tourist visit of up to 15 percent. Although the tourist visit declines, in terms of revenue it will experience a surge.

Operations Manager of Tanah Lot tourist attraction, Toya Adnyana, said that the establishment of the new ticket price will be accompanied with the implementation of e-ticketing system for travelers making a visit to the famous tourist attraction offering beautiful beach. However, the realization is still awaiting the study on the implementation of the e-ticketing by third party.

“If until November the e-ticketing cannot be implemented, we keep increasing the ticket prices manually. This is the instruction of the management board chairman (regent—Ed),” he said, Monday (Aug. 8).

He explained that the new ticket price hike to be enacted is from IDR 30,000 to IDR 60,000 per person for foreign traveler (adult) and from IDR 15,000 to IDR 30,000 per person (child). In the meantime, the ticket price hike for domestic traveler is from IDR 10,000 to IDR 20,000 per person (adult) and from IDR 7,500 to IDR 15,000 per person (child).

Regarding the increase, the management has conducted dissemination of information in the field, particularly to travel agencies. For the use of e-ticketing, he has asked the management board to provide training for staff on the application of the new system. “This ticket price hike is possible for tariff adjustment made within the past four years as well as for boosting the previous regionally generated revenue,” he explained.

In line with the ticket price hike, the management board of Tanah Lot tourist attraction will also undertake major arrangement and reform to the stalls at the location such as the installation of paving block in the middle lane and the addition of CCTV at three points. “Currently the installation has been made at 24 points and the addition is proposed for the installation in the west area,” he said.

Based on the data, the tourist visits to Tanah Lot during the period of January to August 7 is dominated by domestic tourist visits reaching 1,100,617 people or 52 percent. At the same period, the foreign tourist visit is recorded to reach 1,025,123 people or 48 percent. The total number of tourist visit reached 2,125,740 people in 2016. “The target of tourist visit in 2016 amounts to 2,558,210 people. We are optimistic the target can be achieved,” he concluded.

Remote control: LoRa offers a cheaper link to the Internet of Things

LAUNCESTON - The future of communications may be 5G, where mobile networks push bandwidth-heavy video to phones and pull data from self-driving cars, but some firms see an alternative: farm irrigation equipment, donation boxes and oysters, connected by a technology called LoRa. LoRa (for Long Range) is among a clutch of narrowband technologies that connect devices cheaply over unlicensed spectrum and vast distances, needing very little power.

The catch: they can only send small parcels of data rather than the gigabytes most wired and mobile standards aspire to.

But, advocates say, that may be more than enough.

“It turns out you don’t need that huge an infrastructure, and it can be driven by small devices that are very smart and not very expensive,” says Mike Cruse, CEO of Definium Technologies, which is building LoRa-based devices for farmers, universities and mines.

The so-called Internet of Things (IoT) has long promised to hook up devices, from aircraft to hairdryers, enabling owners to monitor, control and collect data from them remotely. Spending on the IoT will hit $6 trillion between 2015 and 2020, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers.

But the reality has been slow catching up. Ericsson this year almost halved the number of connected devices - including smartphones - it sees by 2020 to 28 billion.

Part of what’s holding things back, critics say, is that solutions are too expensive and elaborate for what is needed. Most involve cellular connections, which are either impractical in rural areas or beyond a user’s budget.

Take Richard Gardner, who runs a 2,500 hectare (6,178 acre) farm in Tasmania and pays A$1,200 per sensor for a cellular-based soil moisture measuring system. He’s working with Definium to design one costing a tenth of that.

“There’s a lot of technology out there that works now, it’s just very expensive. We’ve got something now that we think has better attributes and is cheaper,” says Gardner, who has invested in Definium and says he already has other farmers keen to buy the company’s products.

Many ancient wonders

Batukaang village hopes archeological research can be done

BANGLI — Batukaang village in Kintamani has an abundant heritage in the form of rare archeological objects including a stone sacarphagus. The local government however rarely gives any attnetion to this and other such objects.

Because there have been no efforts to store these objects or preserve them, many of the ancinet objects that the villagers come across are left scattered in their gardens.

LORA AND FRIENDS

Making all this possible is LoRa, a narrowband standard adopted by the likes of Cisco and IBM, where the thumbnail-sized radios that send and receive data sell for a dollar or less.

Dutch enthusiasts are building a global community of open-source LoRa gateways, called the Things Network. Nodes send and receive messages - about a tenth of the size of an SMS - every couple of minutes to once every few hours.

Followers have rolled out their own experimental networks using the community’s software in cities from Colombia to Russia.

Founder Wienke Giezeman says a $300 gateway - the router connecting the LoRa nodes to the Internet - will be available next month.

Half a dozen would be enough to cover an average-sized city. “This,” he says, “is going to push the next phase of growth.”

And LoRa isn’t the only narrowband technology in town.

Weightless, a British-based alliance, is one. Another is a proprietary U.S. technology run by a company called Ingenu, as is Sigfox, a French firm, which has raised $150 million from companies including Samsung Electronics. (rtr)

Australia sets up specialist cyber unit to trace terrorism payments

SYDNEY - Australia has set up a cyber-intelligence unit to identify terrorism financing, money laundering and financial fraud online, the government said on Tuesday, because of “unprecedented” threats to national security.

The measure expands on a major platform of conservative Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who narrowly won re-election last month after promising to improve Australia’s cybersecurity and transform the economy into a tech-savvy business hub.

Justice Minister Michael Keenan said the new unit, set up under money-tracking agency the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC), would investigate online payment platforms and financial cybercrime to crack down on money-laundering and criminal networks.

“We know that the use of fraudulent identities continues to be a key enabler of serious and organised crime and terrorism,” Keenan said in a statement.

The statement said the new

AUSTRAC unit would work with the Australian and New Zealand government-funded identity support service, ID Care, to target job recruitment scams that crime syndicates used to recruit innocent people to traffic money between jurisdictions.

The new unit would also work with the Australian Cybercrime Online Reporting Network to identify patterns and trends that could indicate large-scale financial scams or their methodology, Keenan said.

Reuters previously reported that a decision by Australia’s major banks to stop offering overseas remittance services had driven the money transfer business underground, making it harder for the authorities to track.

In February, unknown hackers tried to steal nearly $1 billion from the Bangladesh central bank’s account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and succeeded in transferring $81 million to four accounts at RCBC in Manila. (rtr)

Headman of Batukaang, I Nyoman Yudana, said on Sunday (Aug. 7) that there are at least three sarcophagi that were accidently found by residents of Batukaang village as they cultivated their land.

“The last sarcophagus was discovered around 2004 in the North of the village, where the others were also discovered”, he explained. These ancient objects have been left where they were found as the vilalge still has no special place to store them.

“The ancient statues that have been unearthed are kept in the village temple, but because the sarcophogi once held human remains, they cannot be kept in the temple”, explained Yudana.

Yudana went on to say that hundreds of statues of gods such as Ganesha have been found, and are estimated to date form the megalithic age.

These statues are kept in six different temples: Pura Puseh of Batan Tiying Jero Kelodan and Kaleran, Pancering Jagat, Pucaksari, Shiva Bujangga and Sengambu Temple.

Yudana emphasised that although many ancinet heritage objects have been found at Batukaang village, there has been virtually no attention from the Bangli Culture and Tourism Agency so far. Yudana hopes that they can word together to maintain these heritage objects.

In order to know more clearly about the history of the sarcophagi and the statues, Batukaang Village will soon be cooperating with Udanaya University’s Departement of Archeology and with wth relevant Provincial agencies. “ We hope that through this cooperation we can learn more about the statues and about the history of our village”, he said.

Bali needs intensification of agriculture

TABANAN - In the future, farmers will heavily depend on the efforts to increase the agricultural output by optimizing the existing land. There is small possibility to expand the agricultural areas. That is why Bali is in desperate need of agricultural intensification rather than the extension or expansion of land.

“Extension effort is impossible because our agricultural area is certainly getting narrower. So, we encourage the intensification by applying balanced fertilization, superior seeds and there should

be a market after the harvest,” said Chairman of the Bali House of Representatives, Nyoman Adi Wiryatama, amid the visit to the Botanical Garden Indonesia Foundation and 27 ambassadors to Eka Karya Botanical Garden, Tabanan.

tion. Firstly, hotel management is accused of being less transparent to the employees in terms of salary payment or other rights of the workers. Secondly, deduction of the service charge of the workers is considered to have been inappropriate with the regulation and existing agreement. On the other hand, the workers committing the strike are considered detrimental to the management.

“After both parties get the opportunity to speak up their mind, the dispute happens because the agreements have not been executed and the management is less transparent to the workers.

The workers also made mistake because their strike action has caused the hotel guests to be neglected,” he said.

After the mediation, the workers and hotel management agreed to make peace. The peace is evidenced by the promise of the hotel management to compensate the service charge of the workers. On the contrary, the workers were willing to work back and promised to follow the rules of the management. Though having agreed to make peace, the Manpower and Transmigration Agency will continue to monitor the development in the field.

The agreement will be executed by both parties so the dispute is terminated and the relationship between the workers and the company can run harmoniously. “We continue to monitor whether the agreement has been executed or not. Hopefully, the agreement is executed, so that the industrial relations at hotel can take place in harmony,” he explained. (kmb38)

Hotel employees strike, dozens of guests neglected

SINGARAJA- A number of employees of a hotel at Cempaga village, Banjar subdistrict held a strike. The action is the aftermath of their disappointment with the management considered less transparent and the deduction of their services alleged to have not complied with the regulations.

As a result of the strike, dozens of hotel guests were neglected from Monday (Aug. 8) so that they were disappointed with the inconvenience of the situation.

As information compiled in the field, from the morning some employees that should get their shift to work decided to keep silence. They just sat down in front of the hotel area. Occasionally they expressed their disappointment with the management considered not transparent in terms of salary payment to them.

Since there were no employees in charge, dozens of in-house guests complained to hotel management. This situation immediately spread so that village official and police went to the location.

In addition, the officials of the Buleleng Manpower and Transmigration Agency also came down to location. After that, hotel employees and the management made mediation at the office of local headman.

The Division Head of Industrial Relations and Supervision at the Buleleng Manpower and Transmigration Agency, Dewa Putu Susrama, said that the mediation gave the opportunities to hotel employees and management to express their opinions.

The damage night club is inspected by the police after a riot involving motorcycle gang

Members of foreign motorcycle club rage at clubbing place Several people injured MANGUPURA - Dozens of foreign motorcycle club members came to clubbing place at Pyramid Club on Jalan Dewi Sartika, Kuta, Monday (Aug. 8).

As about to closing, they were forbidden to enter and it led to chaos.

They threw at the clubbing place and damaged motorcycles. As a result of the incident, four people suspected of being the customers of the Pyramid Club were injured and had to be rushed to hospital. In addition, three members of the motorcycle club were also injured.

“It happened around 06:00. After the incident, they immediately checked out of the hotel where they were staying,” said the officer of the Denpasar Police.

The officer said that initially hundreds of the motorcycle club members held a gathering at one of the karaoke venues on Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai Kuta. After the event, they scattered and looked for other clubbing place.

Around 04:30, when the Pyramid Club was about to closing, 25 motorcycle club members arrived by taxi. “They put on black leather vest uniform. Immediately they came in and ordered a drink,” said the officer asking for anonymity.

After that at 6:00, the second entourage came with a total of 15 people wearing the same uniform.

They immediately got into the club.

Management of the Pyramid Club

told them if the operation was about to closing and advised them to go home.

When outside the club, they pelted the Pyramid building by using stones and helmets. Besides, they knocked down the motorcycles parked in front of the Pyramid. Employees of the Pyramid were trying to block them from going away. Allegedly a fight occurred at that time. After that, they headed southwards while throwing stones onto the highway.

The injured victims due to the incident included Wayan AP, 34, suffering fractured on both legs, fractured kneecap, abrasions on left hip and right temple, while MF, 22, got injuries on left elbow, bruised on head, legs and back. Furthermore, Tt., 35, suffered lacerations on left head and Ls, 31, suffered bruised on head, left leg and right hand.

Based on the results of investigation, six people are suspected of being the offenders that stayed at hotel near the scene. According to the hotel security guard, they came on foot and one of them was still holding a stone.

Afterward, they rushed to go into their room. At 06:30, they immediately checked out of the hotel by taxi whereas they would actually check out of hotel on Tuesday (Aug. 9).

“The identities of some offenders have been known and will be coordinated with the Immigration Office of Ngurah Rai Airport. The motorcycle club members came from all over the world,” he said.

In the meantime, Made Arya Mu-

lyawan having the nickname De Gadjah claimed that three of his friends also belonging to the motorcycle club member were also injured.

“One victim got severe injuries due to bleeding in his lungs as affected by sharp weapon and had surgery. Two other victims were affected by sword but already went home from hospital.

The victims are from the Netherlands and I just make friend with them,” said De Gadjah in Kuta.

When asked about the incident at the Pyramid Club, De Gadjah claimed not to know. After the event at the karaoke on Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai Kuta, he immediately went home. However, from the stories of his friends, they came to the location to eat. Suddenly they were bullied by other groups but did not resist.

“I do not know which one is the enemy. According to information, they brought sharp weapon. My friends were attacked and thrown by stones.

Many people (offenders—Ed) were involved consisting of local residents and foreigners. Actually, there was no problem among the motorcycle club members, but they were disturbed.

They’re tourists and as Balinese people we should protect them,” he said. Chief of the Denpasar Police Criminal Investigation Unit, Reinhard, confirmed the incident. However, he could not give much information because the crime scene investigation is underway. “I am still at the crime scene with the chief of Denpasar Police,” he affirmed. (kmb36)

There were no military aircraft seen at the time the photos were taken in late July but the hangars have room for any fighter jet in the Chinese air force, the Times said, citing an analysis of the photos by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) think tank.

The hangars were constructed on Fiery Cross, Subi and Mischief Reefs, part of the Spratly Islands. China claims most of the South China Sea, through which $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei have overlapping claims.

The images have emerged about a month after an international court in The Hague ruled against China’s sweeping claims in the resource-rich region, a ruling emphatically rejected by Beijing.

The United States has urged China and other claimants not to militarize their holdings in the South China Sea. China has repeatedly denied doing so, saying the facilities were for civilian and self-defence uses, and in turn criticized U.S. patrols and exercises for ramping up tensions in the region.

The hangars all show signs of structural strengthening, CSIS said.

“They are far thicker than you would build for any civilian purpose,” Gregory Poling, director of CSIS’s Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative, told the Times. “They’re reinforced to take a strike.” (rtr)

His confirmation of that plan, in his first public comments since the referendum, came after the U.S. State Department on Monday urged Thailand to take steps to restore an elected, civilian government as soon as possible.

“Please have confidence in the roadmap,” Prayuth told reporters at Government House, his official offices, before a cabinet meeting.

“An election will take place in 2017, I have never said anything different to this.”

The government says the constitution will restore stable, clean politics after a decade of turmoil stemming from confrontation between populist political forces and the military-royalist establishment.

Two military takeovers and outbreaks of deadly civil unrest over the years have stunted growth in Southeast Asia’s second-biggest economy.

Analysts say a desire for political stability drove the “yes” vote, with 61 percent in favour, preliminary

results based on a count of 94 percent of votes show.

Critics, including major political parties, had denounced the constitution before the vote, saying it would stifle democracy by giving unelected lawmakers, including those appointed by the military, veto power over elected governments.

The European Union also urged a quick return to democracy, calling on authorities to lift restrictions on freedom of expression that have been in place since the 2014 coup.

“The EU continues to call upon the Thai authorities to create the conditions for a genuine democratic transition leading to early general elections,” it said in a statement.

After the cabinet meeting, Prayuth said he would make a televised statement on his government’s next steps after the official publication of full referendum results on Wednesday.

Meechai Ruchupan, head of the Constitution Drafting Committee, said the new constitution would come into effect by November.

There has been no sign of unrest since the referendum. Members of the anti-junta opposition say they are biding their time until the 2017 election, when they can try to scrap the military charter, if a party they back takes power. (rtr)

stability in the wake of Britain’s vote to leave the European Union.

McCafferty said he believes a more gradual approach should be taken towards monetary policy since the information about how the economy has reacted to the June 23 referendum is still very limited.

McCafferty, one of four external members on the nine-person Monetary Policy Committee, had opposed raising the target for quantitative easing government bond purchases to 435 billion

pounds ($565.24 billion) from the 375 billion total reached in late 2012.

He also said in the newspaper that the fall in the pound in recent months, and the resulting rise in import prices, was expected to lead to an overshoot of CPI inflation relative to the 2 percent target lasting at least until 2019.

Most Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) members expected to cut Bank Rate again this year to a rate “close to, but a little above zero”, if the economy performed as poorly as forecast.(rtr)

Where low-income insurance options improved, so did results

In states that expanded either their Medicaid programs or private insurance options for low-income Americans, beneficiaries used more outpatient and preventive care and less emergency care, and they had better subjective overall health, compared to low-income residents of states with no expanded coverage.

All states participate in Medicaid, a partnership with the federal government to provide some insurance coverage to low-income people. The Affordable Care Act would have expanded Medicaid coverage to all Americans under age 65 whose family income is at or below 133 percent of federal poverty guidelines, but only 32 states accepted this plan.

Nineteen states did not expand Medicaid coverage. Six of those Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, and New Hampshire – instead approved alternative plans to make use of the federal funds for Medicaid expansion.

“There’s really a huge difference for healthcare of low income adults,” said lead author Dr. Benjamin D. Sommers of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Harvard Medical School in Boston.

For the new study, the researchers tracked how health and healthcare changed for low-income residents of three states taking different approaches between 2013 and 2015.

Low-income adults in Texas, Kentucky and Arkansas reported their access to primary care, specialty care, medications, use of the emergency department and outpa-

tient care, blood sugar and cholesterol testing, annual checkups, depression and overall health.

Kentucky expanded Medicaid, Arkansas used Medicaid funds to purchase insurance for low-income residents on the private market, and Texas did not expand coverage at all.

By 2015, the uninsured rate in Kentucky and Arkansas was 22 percent lower than in Texas. Residents with expanded coverage reported fewer skipped medications due to cost, less out of pocket spending and less emergency department use. Those residents also had improvements in diabetes screening, chronic disease care, quality of care and likelihood of reporting overall “excellent health.”

There was more private coverage in Arkansas and more Medicaid coverage in Kentucky, but no other notable differences in healthcare between the two states, the researchers reported in JAMA Internal Medicine online August 8.

“It didn’t turn out to matter much whether you expanded or used a ‘private option’,” as long as coverage increased, Sommers told Reuters Health by phone.

President Jokowi urges IPDN graduates to become pioneers of bureaucratic reforms - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has called on the graduates of the 23rd batch of the Institute of Public Administration (IPDN) to become pioneers of bureaucratic reforms carried out in government institutions.

“Absolutely satisfied with all of Papuas culture in Wamena,” Smith Jr, an Australian tourist, informed ANTARA News.

On the previous night, the Jayawijaya administration had hosted a welcome dinner for seven foreign ambassadors, who are in Wamena to attend the festival.

Deputy District Head of Jayawijaya Jhon Richard Banua hoped that Papua will leave a good impression on the ambassadors during their visit to Wamena, which is also called the “Cold Town.”

The ambassadors are respectively representing Switzerland, Italy, Armenia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Mexico, and India.

The implementation of the festival costs Rp9 billion, he remarked, adding that the local government had also spent additionally for infrastructure and supporting facilities for the event.

Some 250 security personnel comprising military and police officers are deployed to secure the festival.

The personnel have been stationed to protect the festivals venue, hotels, and routes to be taken by foreign visitors to reach certain tourist destinations.

Baliem Valley is located in the central mountain of Papua. The grand valley is 72 kilometers (km) long and 16-31 km wide and is inhabited by the Dani Tribes, the Neolithic warriors and farmers, and other sub-tribes of Yali and Lani, with their complex and primitive cultures, which bear striking resemblance to the “stone age” cultures.

Private insurance pays doctors higher rates than Medicaid, which may be attractive to some states.

It’s still not clear if alternative expansion plans will work in the long run, said Joel C. Cantor of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, who coauthored a commentary on the new findings.

“The unanswered question is whether it’s going to cost the government more, which ultimately would mean they couldn’t be continued,” Cantor told Reuters Health by phone.

But it is worth testing different approaches to see what works, he said.

Other studies have found that expanding Medicaid has a positive impact on a state’s economy and employment numbers, he said.

“From the patient’s perspective there doesn’t seem to be a big difference,” Sommers said. “The message here really is for state policy makers and advocates in states that have not expanded coverage.”

“People who have insurance feel better,” Sommers said. “Any kind of expansion of coverage is a major improvement regardless of method.”(rtr)

The head of state hoped that the graduates will be in the forefront to implement mental revolution and to ensure good governance.

“You should also become role models for the public, promote optimism, be innovative, dare to make breakthroughs, and be useful to the public,” he added.

The president also reminded them of the heavier and complicated challenges that lay ahead.

During the inauguration, Jokowi also dedicated a statue of Indonesias first president Soekarno, who was the founder of the Interior Administration Academy, in the frontyard of the Jatinangor campus. (ant)

Govt confirms one more Indonesian abducted in Malaysian water SOLO - Director of Citizen and Legal Entities Protection of the Foreign Affairs Ministry Lalu Muhammad Iqbal has confirmed that several gunmen have abducted an Indonesian captain of a fishing trawler in the Malaysian water.

“We have been notified since August 5, that the abducted person is an Indonesian captain of a Malaysian flagged-fishing trawler, and it happened in the Malaysian water,” Iqbal said here on Sunday.

Iqbal explained that the fishing trawler was attacked by the gunmen on August 3, at around 4 p.m. local time.

There were two other crew members on board when the incident occurred, but the gunmen released them, and they reported the incident to police in Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia, on August 5.

Following the report to the police, Iqbal said the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur and consulate general in Kota Kinabalu worked closely with the local authorities, the freed crewmen, ship company, and the Philippine authority, to seek more detailed information.

“Some information related to the incident and the abductions actors are still different one to another, so we still need to verify it,” Iqbal noted.

According to a local newspaper, The Star, Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSC) director Datuk Wan Abdul Bari Wan Khalid confirmed a report had been filed by the owner of the fishing trawler on Saturday, two days after the abduction was said to happen.

Khalid also told the newspaper that the incident did not look like the usual kidnapping and a police investigation is on progress.

At the present, the two crewmen and the trawler are being held for investigations.

Previously, ten Indonesians were kidnapped by armed group members and until now they are still being taken hostage in the southern Philippines. (ant)

Trump seeks a campaign reset with Detroit economic speech

DETROIT - Republican Donald Trump sought to regain momentum for his White House campaign on Monday by proposing sweeping tax breaks, cuts to federal regulations and a revival of the stalled Keystone XL oil pipeline project.

The New York businessman used a speech on the economy in Detroit to try to turn the page after a week of missteps in which he came under heavy criticism, including from some in his own party, and rival Democrat Hillary Clinton surged ahead in opinion polls three months ahead of the Nov. 8 election.

“I want to jump-start America,” Trump said, “and it won’t even be that hard.”

Trump stuck to prepared remarks rather than the freewheeling style that often produces controversial comments at rallies. He kept his cool as some 14 protesters jumped to their feet and shouted at coordinated intervals as he spoke at the Detroit Economic Club.

Trump’s remarks, which were repeatedly cheered by the crowd, appeared targeted at both an affluent business community and

working people, in particular those who have suffered from a decline in U.S. manufacturing in cities such as Detroit. He dismissed Clinton as representing “the tired voices of the past.”

“We now begin a great national conversation about economic renewal for America,” Trump said.

“It’s a conversation about how to make America great again for everyone ... especially for those who have the very least.”

Much of the speech reflected Republican talking points and critics said his proposals lacked detail. But Republican operatives and others who saw the speech praised Trump for turning his focus to policy and contrasting his ideas with Clinton’s.

The question for Trump now is whether he will be able to keep his campaign on message as Republicans want him to do.

Trump pitched a tax plan that mirrored traditional Republican thinking that lowering taxes and slashing regulation generates economic growth and jobs. He proposed lowering individual and corporate rates and a discounted 10 percent levy for businesses that bring back profits held overseas.

Trump’s plan to create new tax deductions for childcare costs raised questions from economists about whether lower-income families would benefit. Many Republicans remain frustrated with his trade vision, which bucks party orthodoxy by calling for a rewrite of major agreements.

“My response is good, bad and ugly,” said Lanhee Chen, who was policy director for the 2012 presidential campaign of Republican Mitt Romney.

“I think the trade position remains pretty ugly,” he said. “But I understand why they did it. I think it’s a strong effort, at least, to meld elements of conservative economic policy with Trump’s more populist thinking.” (rtr)

People watch soldiers march during the change of guards as they visit Anitkabir, the mausoleum of modern Turkey’s founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, in Ankara, Turkey, August 5, 2016. Picture taken August 5, 2016.

Ataturk’s revival a symbol of Turkey’s fragile post-coup unity

ISTANBUL - After years of being gradually eclipsed as President Tayyip Erdogan forges a “new Turkey” with Islam firmly at its heart, the secular republic’s founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk has, for now at least, made a comeback in the wake of a failed coup.

At a rally of more than a million people in Istanbul on Sunday, Erdogan drew a parallel between the spirit of the young officer who founded modern Turkey in 1923 and the civilians who took to the streets on July 15 to try to stop rogue soldiers in tanks and helicopters from seizing power.

“The belief that helped war veteran Mustafa Kemal start and win the war of independence was running through all Turkey’s cities on July 15,” Erdogan told the Istanbul rally, portraits of himself and Ataturk blowing in the breeze on either side of the huge stage.

From a leader bent on raising a “pious generation”, it seemed a major gesture of conciliation, an attempt to bridge a deep divide in Turkish society reaching back to 1923, when Ataturk forged the secular republic from the ruins of an Ottoman theocracy and banished Islam from public life.

Since the failed coup, Ataturk’s portrait has been hung from the headquarters of the ruling AK Party, founded by Erdogan and rooted in political Islam, and its leaders have repeatedly invoked him - a revered

figure for the country’s secularists - as a symbol of unity.

Kemal Kilicdaroglu, leader of the main opposition CHP, the party of Ataturk, told Sunday’s rally a “door of compromise” had been opened in the nation of almost 80 million and that a new Turkey had been ushered in in the wake of the coup.

But for all the euphoria, sustaining such a spirit of cooperation would mean overcoming deep division over the direction of a nation with a secular constitution but overwhelmingly Muslim population.

“This is a limited consensus.

It’s a very basic agreement that democracy is better than a military junta and that we all want justice.

Nobody expects anyone to forget where they stood on July 14,” said a senior government official.

Engin Altay, a senior CHP lawmaker, said the AK Party appeared to be invoking Ataturk to try to quell an atmosphere of “pessimism and panic” after the coup attempt and said it was an open question whether the spirit of unity would last.

“It depends on whether, after emerging from this trauma, the AK Party can adopt a compromise policy without becoming drunk on, or poisoned by, power. If it fails to do so and says ‘we got power from the people and will do whatever we say’, they will again slam the state against the wall,” he told Reuters. (rtr)

Have faith, it’s getting cleaner, says Bolt

ULUWATU - Suluban Beach is one of Bali’s most unique coasts, concealed by natural limestone formations and accessed via steps and log ramps through narrow gaps in the rock. Canopied by a looming cliff face, this small beach may not be ideal for sunbathers, but serves pro surfers well as a base to paddle out and ride adjacent reef breaks, including around Uluwatu, just to the south.

Nicknamed ‘Blue Point’, Suluban Beach lies at the end of Jalan Mamo in the coastal area of Labuan Sait, the same locality shared by famous surf spots Padang Padang and Uluwatu. Unless you’re staying at any of the villas that have recently popped up here (the likes of Blue Point Bay Villas), getting here from popular areas such as Kuta and Jimbaran is best by hotel shuttle, taxi or motorbike.

Parking is at the roadside, right before the flight of stairs down to the beach. Parking fees are IDR 5,000 for bikes and IDR 15,000 for cars. From here, you will need to endure a 10-minute walk down a flight of concrete steps.

However, you won’t immediately find the beach at the end.

Pass rows of locally-run cafés (serving cold Bintangs, light bites and ‘surfer snacks’ including local favourite ‘nasi campur’), surfboard rentals and art shops, with the Single Fin Bar up on your right, and you’ll eventually find the main beach entrance – down a narrow crag.

RIO DE JANEIRO - Usain Bolt waltzed in to sprinkle a bucket of stardust over Rio on Monday, and while there were Samba smiles and dancing girls, the biggest name at the Olympics could not escape the ever-present spectre of doping.

Usain Bolt dances samba at a press conference.

Bolt is seeking to secure a “triple-triple” in the 100 metres, 200 metres and 4x100m relay and was his usual show-stopping self as top billing in an eye-catching Jamaican team news conference at Barra’s massive Cicada des Arts theatre.

But he also had to face up to questions about how and why fans could have any faith in athletics after the battering it has taken on the doping front in the last 18 months.

“I think we are going in the right direction. People should have faith,” said Bolt, who won 100m, 200m and 4x100m golds at the last two Olympics.

“We are weeding out the bad ones and I personally think we are on the right track. We have had to go through a rough time before the good times. But in a few years, the sport should be clean and I look

forward to that.”

Last year, Bolt edged out American Justin Gatlin to win the world championship 100 metres final in a race widely billed as “good v evil”, with the Jamaican ‘saving’ the sport from an athlete back in action after two doping bans.

Asked if fans could believe they were watching a clean race when the two, if all goes to plan, face off in the 100 metres final next Sunday, Bolt was a touch more diplomatic.

“In life nothing is guaranteed,” he said. “But I never worry about drugs. That’s for WADA, the IAAF and the IOC. I go out and compete and wow the crowd and entertain people.”

He did say, however, that he supported the governing body’s decision to ban Russian track and field athletes because of the country’s extensive state-sponsored doping. (rtr)

RIO DE JANEIRO - Katinka Hosszu of Hungary won the women’s Olympic 100 metres backstroke on Monday to claim her second gold of the Rio Games, edging out Kathleen Baker of the United States.

Canada’s Kylie Masse and China’s Fu Yuanhui tied for bronze, with the top four separated by just 0.31 seconds.

Australian world champion Emily Seebohm, swimming in an outside lane, set the early pace but Hosszu powered her way through the field in the last half of the race to touch the wall in 58.45 seconds.

Baker, who qualified fastest for the final, clocked 58.75, to finish 0.01 seconds ahead of Masse and Fu. It was a second gold in Rio for Hosszu, the self-styled ‘Iron Lady’ of swimming, after her world recordbreaking victory in the 400 individual medley on Saturday.

“It’s really cool, I can’t believe I’ve won the 100 back,” the 27-year-old told reporters. “I know I’ve done the 100 back in the 400IM a million times and the goal was to make it like second

nature when I came to Rio, which is how it felt.

“This time I was fresh and in great shape. I just focussed on the execution and was not worrying about where I came.”

Hosszu, who is also swimming in the 200 backstroke, butterfly and medley, had come away empty-handed from three previous Olympics, despite winning five world championships titles.

Seebohm, silver medallist in London in 2012, had achieved the secondfastest time in the heats but qualified for the final in seventh.

She faded in the closing stages on Monday to finish seventh.

Missy Franklin of the United States, the 2012 Olympic champion at 100, was reduced to a spectator, having failed to qualify in the event for Rio at the U.S. trials.

Franklin was in tears earlier after failing to make the final of the 200 freestyle, but has another chance in the 200 backstroke, in which she also won gold in London. (rtr)

Sp rt Brazil’s other No. 10 _ Marta _ is getting respect MANAUS — Known simply by her first name, Marta Vieira da Silva is one of the best women to ever play the game of soccer. And with the Olympics taking place in Brazil, people in her home country are finally getting familiar with her.

While Brazil’s other No. 10 — Neymar — is struggling with the men’s team, Marta is seeing success. And the local fans are noticing.

For her two goals in a 5-1 victory over Sweden, Marta was showered with cheers. And it wasn’t just her goals, one of which came from the penalty spot. She also displayed stunning footwork that wowed spectators. “Better than Neymar!” the fans at the Olympic Stadium in Rio de Janeiro chanted.

“She brings so much passion to the game. So much enthusiasm.

And I think her teammates thrive off that passion,” United States goalkeeper Solo said. “We always have to game-plan for her.”

With the victory, Brazil assured itself of a spot in the quarterfinals.

The United States and Canada also have already secured sports in the knockout round with one more day of group play on Tuesday. The Brazil’s Marta celebrates scoring her side’s fourth goal during a group E match of the women’s Olympic football tournament between Sweden and Brazil at the Rio Olympic Stadium in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, Saturday, Aug. 6, AP Photo/Leo Correa

2016.

Brazilians face South Africa at Amazonia Arena in Manaus, following a match between the United States and Colombia. The event is already a sellout.

When Brazil arrived in Manaus on Sunday, a small crowd of about 100 was there to greet the team at the airport. Some chanted for Marta and a few young girls even wore her No. 10 jersey.

Marta grew up playing street soccer with the boys in Dois Riachos, a town about 1,250 miles north of Rio de Janeiro. She was only 17 when she appeared at the 2003 World Cup in the United States.

For the 2006 season, Marta won the first of an unprecedented five straight FIFA World Player of the Year awards.

Dubbed “Pele in skirts,” Marta scored seven goals at the 2007 World Cup in China, but Brazil finished as runners-up in the tournament after falling to Germany 2-0 in the final.

With Marta, the Brazilians have won the silver medal at both the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. Her duel with Solo in the final at the Beijing Games was considered epic. Carli Lloyd scored the game-winner in extra time for the Americans, but it was Solo that fended off a pointblank shot from Marta in the 72nd minute.

One of their biggest showdowns came at the 2011 World Cup in Germany. Solo came out the victor on penalty kicks after a dramatic 2-2 draw. Marta had both goals for

Brazil, including a controversial penalty kick, but Solo was able to stop Daiane in the shootout.

The Americans would go on to the final.

“With Marta you have to have a little extra attention to her, even though our team defense is really good and really organized. That’s a compliment to her,” Solo said Monday. “I have played for coaches in the past who thought we could just play our style of soccer against Marta, and we’ve been punished for it. So I’m very aware that we have to pay extra attention to her.”

Marta has scored 104 goals in 105 international appearances. She has the most World Cup goals with 15. She has 10 Olympic goals, tying her for third on the career list with Abby Wambach. But what Marta doesn’t have in her storied career is a major international title.

Given the struggles on the men’s side, the Brazilians seem to be pinning their hopes on Marta and her teammates at the Olympics.

Neymar was taunted by fans chanting “Marta!” in a 0-0 draw against Iraq on Sunday at Mane Garrincha Stadium in Brasilia.

Brazil also played to a scoreless draw with South Africa in the opener and next face Denmark on Wednesday.

Men’s coach Rogerio Micale said despite the teasing from the fans, the team was proud of its women’s side and the other No. 10.

For her part, Marta brushed off any comparison to her famous male counterpart. Her focus is elsewhere.

“This comparison we leave to the fans,” Marta said. “We all cheer for the men’s team and we know that they cheer for us.” (ap)

LONDON - Manchester City have signed England centre back John Stones from Everton as new manager Pep Guardiola continues to reshape his side for the start of the Premier League season.

City said in a statement on Tuesday that Stones had agreed an six-year contract at the Etihad Stadium, with British media putting the transfer fee at 47.5 million pounds ($61.7 million).

The 22-year-old, who was part of the England squad at Euro 2016 but did not feature as they crashed out in the last 16, was strongly linked with a move to Chelsea last year.

“John is an excellent young English defender and we are all really pleased he is joining us,” City director of football Txiki Begiristain told the club website.

“We have worked hard to bring him to City and we feel we are signing

one of the best central defenders in Europe.”

Stones, who joined Everton from Barnsley in 2013 for three million pounds, became the world’s second most expensive defender after Brazilian David Luiz, who moved from Chelsea to Paris St Germain for 50 million pounds in 2014. “Now the deal’s done I’m looking forward to the next stage in my career,” he said.

“I’ve obviously seen what’s going on here at the Etihad, it’s an ambitious Club with a great manager so I can’t wait to get stuck in and help achieve the goals.”

Spaniard Guardiola, who joined the Manchester club from Bayern Munich in the close season, has identified the defender as the perfect fit for his possession-based game. City begin their Premier League campaign at home to Sunderland on Aug. 13.(rtr)

Sp rt Brazil’s other No. 10 _ Marta _ is getting respect MANAUS — Known simply by her first name, Marta Vieira da Silva is one of the best women to ever play the game of soccer. And with the Olympics taking place in Brazil, people in her home country are finally getting familiar with her.

While Brazil’s other No. 10 — Neymar — is struggling with the men’s team, Marta is seeing success. And the local fans are noticing.

For her two goals in a 5-1 victory over Sweden, Marta was showered with cheers. And it wasn’t just her goals, one of which came from the penalty spot. She also displayed stunning footwork that wowed spectators. “Better than Neymar!” the fans at the Olympic Stadium in Rio de Janeiro chanted.

“She brings so much passion to the game. So much enthusiasm.

And I think her teammates thrive off that passion,” United States goalkeeper Solo said. “We always have to game-plan for her.”

With the victory, Brazil assured itself of a spot in the quarterfinals.

The United States and Canada also have already secured sports in the knockout round with one more day of group play on Tuesday.

2016.

Brazilians face South Africa at Amazonia Arena in Manaus, following a match between the United States and Colombia. The event is already a sellout.

When Brazil arrived in Manaus on Sunday, a small crowd of about 100 was there to greet the team at the airport. Some chanted for Marta and a few young girls even wore her No. 10 jersey.

Marta grew up playing street soccer with the boys in Dois Riachos, a town about 1,250 miles north of Rio de Janeiro. She was only 17 when she appeared at the 2003 World Cup in the United States.

For the 2006 season, Marta won the first of an unprecedented five straight FIFA World Player of the Year awards.

Dubbed “Pele in skirts,” Marta scored seven goals at the 2007 World Cup in China, but Brazil finished as runners-up in the tournament after falling to Germany 2-0 in the final.

With Marta, the Brazilians have won the silver medal at both the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. Her duel with Solo in the final at the Beijing Games was considered epic. Carli Lloyd scored the game-winner in extra time for the Americans, but it was Solo that fended off a pointblank shot from Marta in the 72nd minute.

One of their biggest showdowns came at the 2011 World Cup in Germany. Solo came out the victor on penalty kicks after a dramatic 2-2 draw. Marta had both goals for

Brazil, including a controversial penalty kick, but Solo was able to stop Daiane in the shootout.

The Americans would go on to the final.

“With Marta you have to have a little extra attention to her, even though our team defense is really good and really organized. That’s a compliment to her,” Solo said Monday. “I have played for coaches in the past who thought we could just play our style of soccer against Marta, and we’ve been punished for it. So I’m very aware that we have to pay extra attention to her.”

Marta has scored 104 goals in 105 international appearances. She has the most World Cup goals with 15. She has 10 Olympic goals, tying her for third on the career list with Abby Wambach. But what Marta doesn’t have in her storied career is a major international title.

Given the struggles on the men’s side, the Brazilians seem to be pinning their hopes on Marta and her teammates at the Olympics.

Neymar was taunted by fans chanting “Marta!” in a 0-0 draw against Iraq on Sunday at Mane Garrincha Stadium in Brasilia.

Brazil also played to a scoreless draw with South Africa in the opener and next face Denmark on Wednesday.

Men’s coach Rogerio Micale said despite the teasing from the fans, the team was proud of its women’s side and the other No. 10.

For her part, Marta brushed off any comparison to her famous male counterpart. Her focus is elsewhere.

“This comparison we leave to the fans,” Marta said. “We all cheer for the men’s team and we know that they cheer for us.” (ap)

Inter Milan hires Frank de Boer as coach to replace Mancini

MILAN — Inter Milan says it hired Frank de Boer as coach on a three-year contract to replace Roberto Mancini. Inter says in a statement the former Netherlands player will attend a news conference later Tuesday.

De Boer arrived in Milan on Monday when Mancini left Inter by mutual consent after less than

two years of his second spell with the club.

Inter placed fourth in Serie A last season, and led at mid-season before fading to finish out of the Champions League qualifying places.

De Boer said in May he would leave Ajax after winning four league titles in almost six seasons

Have faith, it’s getting cleaner, says Bolt

ULUWATU - Suluban Beach is one of Bali’s most unique coasts, concealed by natural limestone formations and accessed via steps and log ramps through narrow gaps in the rock. Canopied by a looming cliff face, this small beach may not be ideal for sunbathers, but serves pro surfers well as a base to paddle out and ride adjacent reef breaks, including around Uluwatu, just to the south.

Nicknamed ‘Blue Point’, Suluban Beach lies at the end of Jalan Mamo in the coastal area of Labuan Sait, the same locality shared by famous surf spots Padang Padang and Uluwatu. Unless you’re staying at any of the villas that have recently popped up here (the likes of Blue Point Bay Villas), getting here from popular areas such as Kuta and Jimbaran is best by hotel shuttle, taxi or motorbike.

Parking is at the roadside, right before the flight of stairs down to the beach. Parking fees are IDR 5,000 for bikes and IDR 15,000 for cars. From here, you will need to endure a 10-minute walk down a flight of concrete steps.

However, you won’t immediately find the beach at the end.

Pass rows of locally-run cafés (serving cold Bintangs, light bites and ‘surfer snacks’ including local favourite ‘nasi campur’), surfboard rentals and art shops, with the Single Fin Bar up on your right, and you’ll eventually find the main beach entrance – down a narrow crag.

RIO DE JANEIRO - Usain Bolt waltzed in to sprinkle a bucket of stardust over Rio on Monday, and while there were Samba smiles and dancing girls, the biggest name at the Olympics could not escape the ever-present spectre of doping.

Usain Bolt dances samba at a press conference.

Bolt is seeking to secure a “triple-triple” in the 100 metres, 200 metres and 4x100m relay and was his usual show-stopping self as top billing in an eye-catching Jamaican team news conference at Barra’s massive Cicada des Arts theatre.

But he also had to face up to questions about how and why fans could have any faith in athletics after the battering it has taken on the doping front in the last 18 months.

“I think we are going in the right direction. People should have faith,” said Bolt, who won 100m, 200m and 4x100m golds at the last two Olympics.

“We are weeding out the bad ones and I personally think we are on the right track. We have had to go through a rough time before the good times. But in a few years, the sport should be clean and I look

forward to that.”

Last year, Bolt edged out American Justin Gatlin to win the world championship 100 metres final in a race widely billed as “good v evil”, with the Jamaican ‘saving’ the sport from an athlete back in action after two doping bans.

Asked if fans could believe they were watching a clean race when the two, if all goes to plan, face off in the 100 metres final next Sunday, Bolt was a touch more diplomatic.

“In life nothing is guaranteed,” he said. “But I never worry about drugs. That’s for WADA, the IAAF and the IOC. I go out and compete and wow the crowd and entertain people.”

He did say, however, that he supported the governing body’s decision to ban Russian track and field athletes because of the country’s extensive state-sponsored doping. (rtr)

RIO DE JANEIRO - Katinka Hosszu of Hungary won the women’s Olympic 100 metres backstroke on Monday to claim her second gold of the Rio Games, edging out Kathleen Baker of the United States.

Canada’s Kylie Masse and China’s Fu Yuanhui tied for bronze, with the top four separated by just 0.31 seconds.

Australian world champion Emily Seebohm, swimming in an outside lane, set the early pace but Hosszu powered her way through the field in the last half of the race to touch the wall in 58.45 seconds.

Baker, who qualified fastest for the final, clocked 58.75, to finish 0.01 seconds ahead of Masse and Fu. It was a second gold in Rio for Hosszu, the self-styled ‘Iron Lady’ of swimming, after her world recordbreaking victory in the 400 individual medley on Saturday.

“It’s really cool, I can’t believe I’ve won the 100 back,” the 27-year-old told reporters. “I know I’ve done the 100 back in the 400IM a million times and the goal was to make it like second

nature when I came to Rio, which is how it felt.

“This time I was fresh and in great shape. I just focussed on the execution and was not worrying about where I came.”

Hosszu, who is also swimming in the 200 backstroke, butterfly and medley, had come away empty-handed from three previous Olympics, despite winning five world championships titles.

Seebohm, silver medallist in London in 2012, had achieved the secondfastest time in the heats but qualified for the final in seventh.

She faded in the closing stages on Monday to finish seventh.

Missy Franklin of the United States, the 2012 Olympic champion at 100, was reduced to a spectator, having failed to qualify in the event for Rio at the U.S. trials.

Franklin was in tears earlier after failing to make the final of the 200 freestyle, but has another chance in the 200 backstroke, in which she also won gold in London. (rtr)

Trump seeks a campaign reset with Detroit economic speech

DETROIT - Republican Donald Trump sought to regain momentum for his White House campaign on Monday by proposing sweeping tax breaks, cuts to federal regulations and a revival of the stalled Keystone XL oil pipeline project.

The New York businessman used a speech on the economy in Detroit to try to turn the page after a week of missteps in which he came under heavy criticism, including from some in his own party, and rival Democrat Hillary Clinton surged ahead in opinion polls three months ahead of the Nov. 8 election.

“I want to jump-start America,” Trump said, “and it won’t even be that hard.”

Trump stuck to prepared remarks rather than the freewheeling style that often produces controversial comments at rallies. He kept his cool as some 14 protesters jumped to their feet and shouted at coordinated intervals as he spoke at the Detroit Economic Club.

Trump’s remarks, which were repeatedly cheered by the crowd, appeared targeted at both an affluent business community and

working people, in particular those who have suffered from a decline in U.S. manufacturing in cities such as Detroit. He dismissed Clinton as representing “the tired voices of the past.”

“We now begin a great national conversation about economic renewal for America,” Trump said.

“It’s a conversation about how to make America great again for everyone ... especially for those who have the very least.”

Much of the speech reflected Republican talking points and critics said his proposals lacked detail. But Republican operatives and others who saw the speech praised Trump for turning his focus to policy and contrasting his ideas with Clinton’s.

The question for Trump now is whether he will be able to keep his campaign on message as Republicans want him to do.

Trump pitched a tax plan that mirrored traditional Republican thinking that lowering taxes and slashing regulation generates economic growth and jobs. He proposed lowering individual and corporate rates and a discounted 10 percent levy for businesses that bring back profits held overseas.

Trump’s plan to create new tax deductions for childcare costs raised questions from economists about whether lower-income families would benefit. Many Republicans remain frustrated with his trade vision, which bucks party orthodoxy by calling for a rewrite of major agreements.

“My response is good, bad and ugly,” said Lanhee Chen, who was policy director for the 2012 presidential campaign of Republican Mitt Romney.

“I think the trade position remains pretty ugly,” he said. “But I understand why they did it. I think it’s a strong effort, at least, to meld elements of conservative economic policy with Trump’s more populist thinking.” (rtr)

People watch soldiers march during the change of guards as they visit Anitkabir, the mausoleum of modern Turkey’s founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, in Ankara, Turkey, August 5, 2016. Picture taken August 5, 2016.

Ataturk’s revival a symbol of Turkey’s fragile post-coup unity

ISTANBUL - After years of being gradually eclipsed as President Tayyip Erdogan forges a “new Turkey” with Islam firmly at its heart, the secular republic’s founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk has, for now at least, made a comeback in the wake of a failed coup.

At a rally of more than a million people in Istanbul on Sunday, Erdogan drew a parallel between the spirit of the young officer who founded modern Turkey in 1923 and the civilians who took to the streets on July 15 to try to stop rogue soldiers in tanks and helicopters from seizing power.

“The belief that helped war veteran Mustafa Kemal start and win the war of independence was running through all Turkey’s cities on July 15,” Erdogan told the Istanbul rally, portraits of himself and Ataturk blowing in the breeze on either side of the huge stage.

From a leader bent on raising a “pious generation”, it seemed a major gesture of conciliation, an attempt to bridge a deep divide in Turkish society reaching back to 1923, when Ataturk forged the secular republic from the ruins of an Ottoman theocracy and banished Islam from public life.

Since the failed coup, Ataturk’s portrait has been hung from the headquarters of the ruling AK Party, founded by Erdogan and rooted in political Islam, and its leaders have repeatedly invoked him - a revered

figure for the country’s secularists - as a symbol of unity.

Kemal Kilicdaroglu, leader of the main opposition CHP, the party of Ataturk, told Sunday’s rally a “door of compromise” had been opened in the nation of almost 80 million and that a new Turkey had been ushered in in the wake of the coup.

But for all the euphoria, sustaining such a spirit of cooperation would mean overcoming deep division over the direction of a nation with a secular constitution but overwhelmingly Muslim population.

“This is a limited consensus.

It’s a very basic agreement that democracy is better than a military junta and that we all want justice.

Nobody expects anyone to forget where they stood on July 14,” said a senior government official.

Engin Altay, a senior CHP lawmaker, said the AK Party appeared to be invoking Ataturk to try to quell an atmosphere of “pessimism and panic” after the coup attempt and said it was an open question whether the spirit of unity would last.

“It depends on whether, after emerging from this trauma, the AK Party can adopt a compromise policy without becoming drunk on, or poisoned by, power. If it fails to do so and says ‘we got power from the people and will do whatever we say’, they will again slam the state against the wall,” he told Reuters. (rtr)

BOE’s McCafferty says more rate cuts on way if economy worsens -Times

stability in the wake of Britain’s vote to leave the European Union.

McCafferty said he believes a more gradual approach should be taken towards monetary policy since the information about how the economy has reacted to the June 23 referendum is still very limited.

McCafferty, one of four external members on the nine-person Monetary Policy Committee, had opposed raising the target for quantitative easing government bond purchases to 435 billion

pounds ($565.24 billion) from the 375 billion total reached in late 2012.

He also said in the newspaper that the fall in the pound in recent months, and the resulting rise in import prices, was expected to lead to an overshoot of CPI inflation relative to the 2 percent target lasting at least until 2019.

Most Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) members expected to cut Bank Rate again this year to a rate “close to, but a little above zero”, if the economy performed as poorly as forecast.(rtr)

Where low-income insurance options improved, so did results

In states that expanded either their Medicaid programs or private insurance options for low-income Americans, beneficiaries used more outpatient and preventive care and less emergency care, and they had better subjective overall health, compared to low-income residents of states with no expanded coverage.

All states participate in Medicaid, a partnership with the federal government to provide some insurance coverage to low-income people. The Affordable Care Act would have expanded Medicaid coverage to all Americans under age 65 whose family income is at or below 133 percent of federal poverty guidelines, but only 32 states accepted this plan.

Nineteen states did not expand Medicaid coverage. Six of those Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, and New Hampshire – instead approved alternative plans to make use of the federal funds for Medicaid expansion.

“There’s really a huge difference for healthcare of low income adults,” said lead author Dr. Benjamin D. Sommers of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Harvard Medical School in Boston.

For the new study, the researchers tracked how health and healthcare changed for low-income residents of three states taking different approaches between 2013 and 2015.

Low-income adults in Texas, Kentucky and Arkansas reported their access to primary care, specialty care, medications, use of the emergency department and outpa-

tient care, blood sugar and cholesterol testing, annual checkups, depression and overall health.

Kentucky expanded Medicaid, Arkansas used Medicaid funds to purchase insurance for low-income residents on the private market, and Texas did not expand coverage at all.

By 2015, the uninsured rate in Kentucky and Arkansas was 22 percent lower than in Texas. Residents with expanded coverage reported fewer skipped medications due to cost, less out of pocket spending and less emergency department use. Those residents also had improvements in diabetes screening, chronic disease care, quality of care and likelihood of reporting overall “excellent health.”

There was more private coverage in Arkansas and more Medicaid coverage in Kentucky, but no other notable differences in healthcare between the two states, the researchers reported in JAMA Internal Medicine online August 8.

“It didn’t turn out to matter much whether you expanded or used a ‘private option’,” as long as coverage increased, Sommers told Reuters Health by phone.

“Some of it is related to the

“Absolutely satisfied with all of Papuas culture in Wamena,” Smith Jr, an Australian tourist, informed ANTARA News.

On the previous night, the Jayawijaya administration had hosted a welcome dinner for seven foreign ambassadors, who are in Wamena to attend the festival.

Deputy District Head of Jayawijaya Jhon Richard Banua hoped that Papua will leave a good impression on the ambassadors during their visit to Wamena, which is also called the “Cold Town.”

The ambassadors are respectively representing Switzerland, Italy, Armenia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Mexico, and India.

The implementation of the festival costs Rp9 billion, he remarked, adding that the local government had also spent additionally for infrastructure and supporting facilities for the event.

Some 250 security personnel comprising military and police officers are deployed to secure the festival.

The personnel have been stationed to protect the festivals venue, hotels, and routes to be taken by foreign visitors to reach certain tourist destinations.

Baliem Valley is located in the central mountain of Papua. The grand valley is 72 kilometers (km) long and 16-31 km wide and is inhabited by the Dani Tribes, the Neolithic warriors and farmers, and other sub-tribes of Yali and Lani, with their complex and primitive cultures, which bear striking resemblance to the “stone age” cultures.

Private insurance pays doctors higher rates than Medicaid, which may be attractive to some states.

It’s still not clear if alternative expansion plans will work in the long run, said Joel C. Cantor of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, who coauthored a commentary on the new findings.

“The unanswered question is whether it’s going to cost the government more, which ultimately would mean they couldn’t be continued,” Cantor told Reuters Health by phone.

But it is worth testing different approaches to see what works, he said.

Other studies have found that expanding Medicaid has a positive impact on a state’s economy and employment numbers, he said.

“From the patient’s perspective there doesn’t seem to be a big difference,” Sommers said. “The message here really is for state policy makers and advocates in states that have not expanded coverage.”

“People who have insurance feel better,” Sommers said. “Any kind of expansion of coverage is a major improvement regardless of method.”(rtr)

Govt confirms one more Indonesian abducted in Malaysian water SOLO - Director of Citizen and Legal Entities Protection of the Foreign Affairs Ministry Lalu Muhammad Iqbal has confirmed that several gunmen have abducted an Indonesian captain of a fishing trawler in the Malaysian water.

“We have been notified since August 5, that the abducted person is an Indonesian captain of a Malaysian flagged-fishing trawler, and it happened in the Malaysian water,” Iqbal said here on Sunday.

Iqbal explained that the fishing trawler was attacked by the gunmen on August 3, at around 4 p.m. local time.

There were two other crew members on board when the incident occurred, but the gunmen released them, and they reported the incident to police in Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia, on August 5.

Following the report to the police, Iqbal said the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur and consulate general in Kota Kinabalu worked closely with the local authorities, the freed crewmen, ship company, and the Philippine authority, to seek more detailed information.

“Some information related to the incident and the abductions actors are still different one to another, so we still need to verify it,” Iqbal noted.

According to a local newspaper, The Star, Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSC) director Datuk Wan Abdul Bari Wan Khalid confirmed a report had been filed by the owner of the fishing trawler on Saturday, two days after the abduction was said to happen.

Khalid also told the newspaper that the incident did not look like the usual kidnapping and a police investigation is on progress.

At the present, the two crewmen and the trawler are being held for investigations.

Previously, ten Indonesians were kidnapped by armed group members and until now they are still being taken hostage in the southern Philippines. (ant)

tion. Firstly, hotel management is accused of being less transparent to the employees in terms of salary payment or other rights of the workers. Secondly, deduction of the service charge of the workers is considered to have been inappropriate with the regulation and existing agreement. On the other hand, the workers committing the strike are considered detrimental to the management.

“After both parties get the opportunity to speak up their mind, the dispute happens because the agreements have not been executed and the management is less transparent to the workers.

The workers also made mistake because their strike action has caused the hotel guests to be neglected,” he said.

After the mediation, the workers and hotel management agreed to make peace. The peace is evidenced by the promise of the hotel management to compensate the service charge of the workers. On the contrary, the workers were willing to work back and promised to follow the rules of the management. Though having agreed to make peace, the Manpower and Transmigration Agency will continue to monitor the development in the field.

The agreement will be executed by both parties so the dispute is terminated and the relationship between the workers and the company can run harmoniously. “We continue to monitor whether the agreement has been executed or not. Hopefully, the agreement is executed, so that the industrial relations at hotel can take place in harmony,” he explained. (kmb38)

Hotel employees strike, dozens of guests neglected

SINGARAJA- A number of employees of a hotel at Cempaga village, Banjar subdistrict held a strike. The action is the aftermath of their disappointment with the management considered less transparent and the deduction of their services alleged to have not complied with the regulations.

As a result of the strike, dozens of hotel guests were neglected from Monday (Aug. 8) so that they were disappointed with the inconvenience of the situation.

As information compiled in the field, from the morning some employees that should get their shift to work decided to keep silence. They just sat down in front of the hotel area. Occasionally they expressed their disappointment with the management considered not transparent in terms of salary payment to them.

Since there were no employees in charge, dozens of in-house guests complained to hotel management. This situation immediately spread so that village official and police went to the location.

In addition, the officials of the Buleleng Manpower and Transmigration Agency also came down to location. After that, hotel employees and the management made mediation at the office of local headman.

The Division Head of Industrial Relations and Supervision at the Buleleng Manpower and Transmigration Agency, Dewa Putu Susrama, said that the mediation gave the opportunities to hotel employees and management to express their opinions.

The damage night club is inspected by the police after a riot involving motorcycle gang

Members of foreign motorcycle club rage at clubbing place Several people injured MANGUPURA - Dozens of foreign motorcycle club members came to clubbing place at Pyramid Club on Jalan Dewi Sartika, Kuta, Monday (Aug. 8).

As about to closing, they were forbidden to enter and it led to chaos.

They threw at the clubbing place and damaged motorcycles. As a result of the incident, four people suspected of being the customers of the Pyramid Club were injured and had to be rushed to hospital. In addition, three members of the motorcycle club were also injured.

“It happened around 06:00. After the incident, they immediately checked out of the hotel where they were staying,” said the officer of the Denpasar Police.

The officer said that initially hundreds of the motorcycle club members held a gathering at one of the karaoke venues on Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai Kuta. After the event, they scattered and looked for other clubbing place.

Around 04:30, when the Pyramid Club was about to closing, 25 motorcycle club members arrived by taxi. “They put on black leather vest uniform. Immediately they came in and ordered a drink,” said the officer asking for anonymity.

After that at 6:00, the second entourage came with a total of 15 people wearing the same uniform.

They immediately got into the club.

Management of the Pyramid Club

told them if the operation was about to closing and advised them to go home.

When outside the club, they pelted the Pyramid building by using stones and helmets. Besides, they knocked down the motorcycles parked in front of the Pyramid. Employees of the Pyramid were trying to block them from going away. Allegedly a fight occurred at that time. After that, they headed southwards while throwing stones onto the highway.

The injured victims due to the incident included Wayan AP, 34, suffering fractured on both legs, fractured kneecap, abrasions on left hip and right temple, while MF, 22, got injuries on left elbow, bruised on head, legs and back. Furthermore, Tt., 35, suffered lacerations on left head and Ls, 31, suffered bruised on head, left leg and right hand.

Based on the results of investigation, six people are suspected of being the offenders that stayed at hotel near the scene. According to the hotel security guard, they came on foot and one of them was still holding a stone.

Afterward, they rushed to go into their room. At 06:30, they immediately checked out of the hotel by taxi whereas they would actually check out of hotel on Tuesday (Aug. 9).

“The identities of some offenders have been known and will be coordinated with the Immigration Office of Ngurah Rai Airport. The motorcycle club members came from all over the world,” he said.

In the meantime, Made Arya Mu-

lyawan having the nickname De Gadjah claimed that three of his friends also belonging to the motorcycle club member were also injured.

“One victim got severe injuries due to bleeding in his lungs as affected by sharp weapon and had surgery. Two other victims were affected by sword but already went home from hospital.

The victims are from the Netherlands and I just make friend with them,” said De Gadjah in Kuta.

When asked about the incident at the Pyramid Club, De Gadjah claimed not to know. After the event at the karaoke on Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai Kuta, he immediately went home. However, from the stories of his friends, they came to the location to eat. Suddenly they were bullied by other groups but did not resist.

“I do not know which one is the enemy. According to information, they brought sharp weapon. My friends were attacked and thrown by stones.

Many people (offenders—Ed) were involved consisting of local residents and foreigners. Actually, there was no problem among the motorcycle club members, but they were disturbed.

They’re tourists and as Balinese people we should protect them,” he said. Chief of the Denpasar Police Criminal Investigation Unit, Reinhard, confirmed the incident. However, he could not give much information because the crime scene investigation is underway. “I am still at the crime scene with the chief of Denpasar Police,” he affirmed. (kmb36)

There were no military aircraft seen at the time the photos were taken in late July but the hangars have room for any fighter jet in the Chinese air force, the Times said, citing an analysis of the photos by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) think tank.

The hangars were constructed on Fiery Cross, Subi and Mischief Reefs, part of the Spratly Islands. China claims most of the South China Sea, through which $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei have overlapping claims.

The images have emerged about a month after an international court in The Hague ruled against China’s sweeping claims in the resource-rich region, a ruling emphatically rejected by Beijing.

The United States has urged China and other claimants not to militarize their holdings in the South China Sea. China has repeatedly denied doing so, saying the facilities were for civilian and self-defence uses, and in turn criticized U.S. patrols and exercises for ramping up tensions in the region.

The hangars all show signs of structural strengthening, CSIS said.

“They are far thicker than you would build for any civilian purpose,” Gregory Poling, director of CSIS’s Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative, told the Times. “They’re reinforced to take a strike.” (rtr)

Thai junta chief Prayuth reiterates election in 2017

BANGKOK - Thailand will hold a general election in 2017, Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said on Tuesday, seeking to allay

concerns his military government might delay plans for a return to democracy, days after the country endorsed a military-backed con-

stitution.

then army chief Prayuth seized power in a 2014 coup, is generally seen as a boost for the legitimacy of the government and its plans.

Under the junta’s “roadmap” to restore democratic rule, Prayuth had previously said a general election would be held in 2017.

His confirmation of that plan, in his first public comments since the referendum, came after the U.S. State Department on Monday urged Thailand to take steps to restore an elected, civilian government as soon as possible.

“Please have confidence in the roadmap,” Prayuth told reporters at Government House, his official offices, before a cabinet meeting.

“An election will take place in 2017, I have never said anything different to this.”

The government says the constitution will restore stable, clean politics after a decade of turmoil stemming from confrontation between populist political forces and the military-royalist establishment.

Two military takeovers and outbreaks of deadly civil unrest over the years have stunted growth in Southeast Asia’s second-biggest economy.

Analysts say a desire for political stability drove the “yes” vote, with 61 percent in favour, preliminary

results based on a count of 94 percent of votes show.

Critics, including major political parties, had denounced the constitution before the vote, saying it would stifle democracy by giving unelected lawmakers, including those appointed by the military, veto power over elected governments.

The European Union also urged a quick return to democracy, calling on authorities to lift restrictions on freedom of expression that have been in place since the 2014 coup.

“The EU continues to call upon the Thai authorities to create the conditions for a genuine democratic transition leading to early general elections,” it said in a statement.

After the cabinet meeting, Prayuth said he would make a televised statement on his government’s next steps after the official publication of full referendum results on Wednesday.

Meechai Ruchupan, head of the Constitution Drafting Committee, said the new constitution would come into effect by November.

There has been no sign of unrest since the referendum. Members of the anti-junta opposition say they are biding their time until the 2017 election, when they can try to scrap the military charter, if a party they back takes power. (rtr)

Remote control: LoRa offers a cheaper link to the Internet of Things

LAUNCESTON - The future of communications may be 5G, where mobile networks push bandwidth-heavy video to phones and pull data from self-driving cars, but some firms see an alternative: farm irrigation equipment, donation boxes and oysters, connected by a technology called LoRa. LoRa (for Long Range) is among a clutch of narrowband technologies that connect devices cheaply over unlicensed spectrum and vast distances, needing very little power.

The catch: they can only send small parcels of data rather than the gigabytes most wired and mobile standards aspire to.

But, advocates say, that may be more than enough.

“It turns out you don’t need that huge an infrastructure, and it can be driven by small devices that are very smart and not very expensive,” says Mike Cruse, CEO of Definium Technologies, which is building LoRa-based devices for farmers, universities and mines.

The so-called Internet of Things (IoT) has long promised to hook up devices, from aircraft to hairdryers, enabling owners to monitor, control and collect data from them remotely. Spending on the IoT will hit $6 trillion between 2015 and 2020, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers.

But the reality has been slow catching up. Ericsson this year almost halved the number of connected devices - including smartphones - it sees by 2020 to 28 billion.

Part of what’s holding things back, critics say, is that solutions are too expensive and elaborate for what is needed. Most involve cellular connections, which are either impractical in rural areas or beyond a user’s budget.

Take Richard Gardner, who runs a 2,500 hectare (6,178 acre) farm in Tasmania and pays A$1,200 per sensor for a cellular-based soil moisture measuring system. He’s working with Definium to design one costing a tenth of that.

“There’s a lot of technology out there that works now, it’s just very expensive. We’ve got something now that we think has better attributes and is cheaper,” says Gardner, who has invested in Definium and says he already has other farmers keen to buy the company’s products.

Many ancient wonders

Batukaang village hopes archeological research can be done

BANGLI — Batukaang village in Kintamani has an abundant heritage in the form of rare archeological objects including a stone sacarphagus. The local government however rarely gives any attnetion to this and other such objects.

Because there have been no efforts to store these objects or preserve them, many of the ancinet objects that the villagers come across are left scattered in their gardens.

LORA AND FRIENDS

Making all this possible is LoRa, a narrowband standard adopted by the likes of Cisco and IBM, where the thumbnail-sized radios that send and receive data sell for a dollar or less.

Dutch enthusiasts are building a global community of open-source LoRa gateways, called the Things Network. Nodes send and receive messages - about a tenth of the size of an SMS - every couple of minutes to once every few hours.

Followers have rolled out their own experimental networks using the community’s software in cities from Colombia to Russia.

Founder Wienke Giezeman says a $300 gateway - the router connecting the LoRa nodes to the Internet - will be available next month.

Half a dozen would be enough to cover an average-sized city. “This,” he says, “is going to push the next phase of growth.”

And LoRa isn’t the only narrowband technology in town.

Weightless, a British-based alliance, is one. Another is a proprietary U.S. technology run by a company called Ingenu, as is Sigfox, a French firm, which has raised $150 million from companies including Samsung Electronics. (rtr)

Australia sets up specialist cyber unit to trace terrorism payments

SYDNEY - Australia has set up a cyber-intelligence unit to identify terrorism financing, money laundering and financial fraud online, the government said on Tuesday, because of “unprecedented” threats to national security.

The measure expands on a major platform of conservative Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who narrowly won re-election last month after promising to improve Australia’s cybersecurity and transform the economy into a tech-savvy business hub.

Justice Minister Michael Keenan said the new unit, set up under money-tracking agency the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC), would investigate online payment platforms and financial cybercrime to crack down on money-laundering and criminal networks.

“We know that the use of fraudulent identities continues to be a key enabler of serious and organised crime and terrorism,” Keenan said in a statement.

The statement said the new

AUSTRAC unit would work with the Australian and New Zealand government-funded identity support service, ID Care, to target job recruitment scams that crime syndicates used to recruit innocent people to traffic money between jurisdictions.

The new unit would also work with the Australian Cybercrime Online Reporting Network to identify patterns and trends that could indicate large-scale financial scams or their methodology, Keenan said.

Reuters previously reported that a decision by Australia’s major banks to stop offering overseas remittance services had driven the money transfer business underground, making it harder for the authorities to track.

In February, unknown hackers tried to steal nearly $1 billion from the Bangladesh central bank’s account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and succeeded in transferring $81 million to four accounts at RCBC in Manila. (rtr)

Headman of Batukaang, I Nyoman Yudana, said on Sunday (Aug. 7) that there are at least three sarcophagi that were accidently found by residents of Batukaang village as they cultivated their land.

“The last sarcophagus was discovered around 2004 in the North of the village, where the others were also discovered”, he explained. These ancient objects have been left where they were found as the vilalge still has no special place to store them.

“The ancient statues that have been unearthed are kept in the village temple, but because the sarcophogi once held human remains, they cannot be kept in the temple”, explained Yudana.

Yudana went on to say that hundreds of statues of gods such as Ganesha have been found, and are estimated to date form the megalithic age.

These statues are kept in six different temples: Pura Puseh of Batan Tiying Jero Kelodan and Kaleran, Pancering Jagat, Pucaksari, Shiva Bujangga and Sengambu Temple.

Yudana emphasised that although many ancinet heritage objects have been found at Batukaang village, there has been virtually no attention from the Bangli Culture and Tourism Agency so far. Yudana hopes that they can word together to maintain these heritage objects.

In order to know more clearly about the history of the sarcophagi and the statues, Batukaang Village will soon be cooperating with Udanaya University’s Departement of Archeology and with wth relevant Provincial agencies. “ We hope that through this cooperation we can learn more about the statues and about the history of our village”, he said.

Bali needs intensification of agriculture

TABANAN - In the future, farmers will heavily depend on the efforts to increase the agricultural output by optimizing the existing land. There is small possibility to expand the agricultural areas. That is why Bali is in desperate need of agricultural intensification rather than the extension or expansion of land.

“Extension effort is impossible because our agricultural area is certainly getting narrower. So, we encourage the intensification by applying balanced fertilization, superior seeds and there should

be a market after the harvest,” said Chairman of the Bali House of Representatives, Nyoman Adi Wiryatama, amid the visit to the Botanical Garden Indonesia Foundation and 27 ambassadors to Eka Karya Botanical Garden, Tabanan.

COVER STORY

Craft...

From page 1

According to her, the government continues to strive so that Celuk silver and gold craft could face the competition ahead. Provision of technical guidance on entrepreneurship for craftsmen is one of the efforts made by the government. Fostering entrepreneurship is considered important because in the future craftsmen must have a strong mental nature, not easily give up and discipline.

“Not only that, the entrepreneurship also has something to do with the ability of the artisans to innovate,” she said.

The government itself is confidence if the triumph of Celuk can be regained. Moreover, Celuk has

already owned a name as the center for silver and gold jewelry craft both in Bali, Indonesia and even overseas.

A similar opinion was expressed by the Head of the Gianyar Industry and Trade Agency, I Wayan Suamba. He said that through technical guidance on entrepreneurship the silversmith and goldsmith at Celuk are expected to get motivated so that they can revive their business.

To that end, the identity of Celuk village as the center for silver and gold jewelry craftsmen can be maintained.

“Celuk has been known as the center for silver jewelry craft since hundreds of years ago. More interestingly, many foreign artisans are also learning the craft at Celuk,” he said. (kmb25)

Operations Manager of Tanah Lot tourist attraction, Toya Adnyana, said that the establishment of the new ticket price will be accompanied with the implementation of e-ticketing system for travelers making a visit to the famous tourist attraction offering beautiful beach. However, the realization is still awaiting the study on the implementation of the e-ticketing by third party.

“If until November the e-ticketing cannot be implemented, we keep increasing the ticket prices manually. This is the instruction of the management board chairman (regent—Ed),” he said, Monday (Aug. 8).

He explained that the new ticket price hike to be enacted is from IDR 30,000 to IDR 60,000 per person for foreign traveler (adult) and from IDR 15,000 to IDR 30,000 per person (child). In the meantime, the ticket price hike for domestic traveler is from IDR 10,000 to IDR 20,000 per person (adult) and from IDR 7,500 to IDR 15,000 per person (child).

Regarding the increase, the management has conducted dissemination of information in the field, particularly to travel agencies. For the use of e-ticketing, he has asked the management board to provide training for staff on the application of the new system. “This ticket price hike is possible for tariff adjustment made within the past four years as well as for boosting the previous regionally generated revenue,” he explained.

In line with the ticket price hike, the management board of Tanah Lot tourist attraction will also undertake major arrangement and reform to the stalls at the location such as the installation of paving block in the middle lane and the addition of CCTV at three points. “Currently the installation has been made at 24 points and the addition is proposed for the installation in the west area,” he said.

Based on the data, the tourist visits to Tanah Lot during the period of January to August 7 is dominated by domestic tourist visits reaching 1,100,617 people or 52 percent. At the same period, the foreign tourist visit is recorded to reach 1,025,123 people or 48 percent. The total number of tourist visit reached 2,125,740 people in 2016. “The target of tourist visit in 2016 amounts to 2,558,210 people. We are optimistic the target can be achieved,” he concluded.

LOS ANGELES - As HBO’s hit “Game of Thrones” heads “Game of Thrones” is based on.

“Of course, Hollywood is Holtowards its concluding seasons, George R. R. Martin, the author behind the medieval fantasy series, has already lined up his next lywood, and nothing is ever certain in development... but I think I hope TV project, a new anthology series called “Wild Cards.”

The new sci-fi series was announced by Martin over the weekend and will be based on the “Wild Cards” novels and stories written by numerous authors and curated by Martin and Melinda Snodgrass.

The “Wild Cards,” first released in 1987, refer to a small percentage of the population that survived an alien attack and obtained super powers, with characters such as Croyd Crenson, Jetboy, the Four Aces and Dr. Tachyon.

Universal Cable Productions, the network behind shows such as cyber hacking drama “Mr. Robot,” confirmed that it is working to develop a prospective series on “Wild Cards.” No further details were given.

Martin said he won’t be working on the series himself as he has an exclusive development deal with HBO, and is writing “The Winds of Winter,” the highly anticipated sixth book in his “A Song of Ice and Fire” novels that

I cross my fingers that the Wild Cards will be coming to your home screens in the next year or two,” Martin said on his website.

“Game of Thrones,” nominated for a leading 23 Emmy awards this year, follows the epic fantasy tale of a multi-generational struggle for control of the Iron Throne and rule over the Seven Kingdoms.

LONDON - France midfielder Paul Pogba has rejoined Manchester United from Italian champions Juventus on a five-year contract, with the option to extend for a further year, the Premier League club said in a statement on Monday.

British media said United splashed out a world record fee of 89 million pounds ($115.98 million) on the 23--year-old, eclipsing the 100 million euros ($110.84 million) Real Madrid paid for Welshman Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013.

“I am delighted to rejoin United. It has always been a club with a special place in my heart and I am really looking forward to working with (manager) Jose Mourinho,” Pogba said in a statement on United’s official wesbite (www.manutd.com).

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Juventus and have some fantastic memories of a great club with players that I count as friends. But I feel the time is right to go back to Old Trafford.

“I always enjoyed playing in front of the fans and can’t wait to make my contribution to the team. This is the right club for me to achieve everything I hope to in the game.”

Pogba is the latest of Mourinho’s new signings following defender Eric Bailly, striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan as the Portuguese coach revamps the under-performing squad he inherited from Louis van Gaal.

“Paul is one of the best players in the world and will be a key part of the United team I want to build here for the future,” added Mourinho. “He is quick, strong, scores goals and reads the game better than many players much older than he is.

“At 23, he has the chance to make that position

his own here over many years. He is young and will continue to improve; he has the chance to be at the heart of this club for the next decade and beyond.”

GREAT FOOTBALLER The France midfielder, whose strength and range of passing should allow United to play a more expansive game than the limited style adopted by Dutchman Van Gaal, has been a hot property all summer with Real Madrid also hovering.

“Everyone is interested in Pogba. He is a great footballer and when you are Madrid you always want the best,” Real coach Zinedine Zidane had said before United wrapped up the deal for a player who scored 34 goals in 178 games for Juventus.

Pogba joined Juve in 2012, having come through Le Havre’s youth system before moving to United’s academy in 2009.

He won four Serie A titles and two Coppa Italia trophies in a successful spell with the Turin club but was criticised after failing to shine in the 2015 Champions League final defeat by Barcelona and France’s Euro 2016 loss to Portugal on home soil.
