Tuesday, October 11, 2016 In this file image, released by Universal Pictures, Emily Blunt appears in a scene from, “The Girl on the Train.”

Propelled by the popularity of Paula Hawkins’ best-seller, the adaptation of “The Girl on the Train” led North American theaters in ticket sales with $24.7 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, Oct. 9, 2016.

‘Girl on the Train’ Tops With $24.7 Million, ‘Birth of a Nation’ Stumbles DreamWorks Pictures/Universal Pictures via AP, File

LOS ANGELES - “The Girl on the Train” pulled into the station with a $24.7 million opening, a solid result despite the fact that the mystery debuted as much of the U.S. Southeast was being pummeled by Hurricane Matthew.

Its success is a shot in the arm to DreamWorks, which optioned the Paula Hawkins’ best-seller about an alcoholic woman (Emily Blunt), who must piece together a mysterious disappearance. The company has suffered a string of flops in recent years, most recently shouldering the twin duds of “The BFG” and “The Light Between Oceans.” However, “The Girl on the Train” kicks off a new five-year distribution deal with Universal Pictures. One that will see the company rebranded as Amblin Partners, complete with backing from Reliance, Entertainment One,

and Participant. Over the weekend, Amblin announced that Alibaba Pictures will take an equity stake in the production company. “The Girl on the Train” cost $45 million to make.

“We are thrilled with the results of the first film in our new partnership with Amblin,” said Nick Carpou, Universal’s domestic distribution chief. “Their passion and commitment to bringing high quality stories to theaters, coupled with our expertise in marketing and distribution, makes for a bright future.”

Nate Parker’s “The Birth of a Nation” was not as fortunate,

premiering to a disappointing $7.1 million across 2,105 theaters. The biopic about slave rebellion leader Nat Turner was a sensation at the Sundance Film Festival, where it premiered to a rapturous standing ovation and sold to Fox Searchlight for a record-shattering $17.5 million. But the release was derailed after rape allegations against Parker and his “The Birth of a Nation” co-writer Jean Celestin resurfaced.

Both men were accused of assaulting a college classmate over a decade ago. Though they were ultimately acquitted of those charges, news broke this summer that their accuser had committed suicide in 2012. The ensuing controversy overshadowed the strong reviews and may have hurt the film’s Oscar chances. (rtr)

Focus shifts to recovery and flooding with Hurricane Matthew heading to sea

CAROLINA BEACH, N.C. - Residents of the southeastern United States ravaged by Hurricane Matthew turned their focus on Monday toward recovery and clean-up, but officials in several states warned that deadly flooding could continue as swollen rivers crest in the coming days.

Matthew, the most powerful Atlantic storm since 2007, was downgraded to a post-tropical

cyclone on Sunday after its rampage through the Caribbean killed 1,000 people in Haiti. In the United

States, the death toll rose to at least 19 people.

While power was being restored in some areas, 1.6 million people were without power in Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina and Virginia, down from Sunday’s peak of 2.2 million. Officials were working to clear streets of fallen

trees and abandoned vehicles.

With five people reported missing and rivers rising, North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory said he expected the death toll to rise. Eight people in the state were known to have died so far.

The other side of tourism, bad impact on nature

TO U R I S M development being able to sustain Bali’s e c o n o m y, i n fact, brings in bad impact on nature. For instance,

there are uncontrolled land use and construction of hotels and resorts interfering with beach access and construction of hotels, villas, restaurants and other tourism supporting facilities on the hills functioned as

buffer. Increasing crowdedness, density and heterogeneity will have an impact on the severity of pressure on Bali human, society and the nature. These were submitted by academician Prof. Dr. Rai Setiabudhi,

Sunday (Oct. 9).

Spatial crowdedness and population density, continued Prof. Rai, tends to lead to social habitat patterns enhancing pressure compared to freedom, tension compared to harmony,

conflict compared to tolerance, marginalization compared to dignity as well as subjectivity compared to objectivity.

“These conditions have more potentials to trigger violence compared to wisdom and peace.

Increasingly fading format of tourism economy, industry and services is accompanied by decline in agrarian economy, widespread pollution, decreasing environmental quality, commoditization, commercialization and rife release of land capital ownership of Balinese people. Besides, crime, terrorists, narcotics, HIV/AIDS, widening social inequalities and complicated conflict of interest also increase,” he said.

According to him, very wasteful use of natural resources including land, water, wood and rocks can disrupt the natural ecological balance of Bali. In addition, many individual elites are unable to dedicate themselves to the country and the people after getting the power.

Instead they undermine people’s money through corruption.

This condition tends to trigger conflict of disintegration compared to dynamics. Instant lifestyle

patterns is almost entering every sphere of life, economy, politics, bureaucratic law, social welfare, education, ritual and lifestyle pattern tending to show arrogance, violence and vulgarism. These conditions are increasingly away from the dimension of quality, harmony and dignity.

Tourism, said Rai, is the prospective and prominent industry in the development of Bali, both now and in the future. On that account, it is presumably less appropriate to dichotomize between tourism and cultural and environmental preservation. Tourism development can go hand in hand with cultural and environmental preservation. It is required a comprehensive development plan of Bali balancing all the sectors so that the sectors beyond tourism can grow to become source of livelihood for community. In addition, the basic capital of Bali’s development is culture so that it is required the development strategy of cultural security in order that Balinese culture can still be running sustainably and dynamically.

Establish a number of strategic regions and priorities that

can stimulate economic growth and prosperity, especially in underdeveloped territories. Retain the appeal of Bali with cultural superiority and beauty of nature.

So far, Balinese culture remaining selective, flexible and adaptive possesses resistance with full vitality and has a strong ethical as well as aesthetical fundamental.

Root and supporting capacity of Balinese culture lies in the customary institution like customary village, subak or irrigation cooperative, customary youth club, and other troupes. Especially for customary security, it is handled by pecalang.

“Development strategy in the future, especially in order to maintain the sustainability of Bali, should be done together between the leaders and the people. In other words, the relationship of leaders to the public should remain steady so that all policies in the development of Bali can be realized smoothly. Smooth development of Bali will directly make Bali steady as cultural resilience will also turn stronger,” he said.

Made Suardana, a tourism business player, sees that the current

conditions begin to worry about the rate of tourism growth. Physical development of the accommodation seems to ignore spatial layout.

“Construction of hotel is getting crowded, not comparable with the capacity of the Island of Bali. More hotel buildings will have more significant impact on spatial and social culture of Bali itself,” he said.

For instance, the road will be increasingly jammed, social life increasingly prone to environmental disharmony and unhealthy business competition. Environmentally, the water quality is not getting better.

Rubbish is mounting and flood threatens. “Now, in Kuta for instance, after raining for 30 minutes it has flooded because the open land as water absorption has no longer been available but entirely covered up by concrete,” he said.

This architect of Bali added that the government has owned regulations on spatial plan and must actually go back to the purpose of life itself. Everyone has known and understood that tourism development in Bali is based on the teachings of Tri Hita Karana,

so that it must be interpreted and performed in all forms of legislation and implemented.

“For example, in Kuta, the hotels are crowded and there are hotels having no road border.

Tourism development in South Bali ignores the environment, where every vacant land is taken advantage for hotel and restaurant development. Is this environmentbased development?” asked Suardana.

This condition will be bringing in more negative things than positive ones. Hill areas supposed to be planted with trees as a water buffer are even grown with concrete which will result in damages to the environment as a whole,” he said.

The land in Bali is for sale to meet consumptive needs. This mindset has also been changing, desiring something instant, turning impatient and wishing to get rich quickly. This kind of mindset should be considered by the ruling leader. “Do not always think that each large project will benefit the residents of Bali, whereas it can become a boomerang for Balinese people,” he said.

Apes show complex cognitive skills watching ‘King Kong’ videos

REUTERS/Jim Drury

(From L-R) Daan Bregman and assistant professor Andrea Sciacchitano, from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), and Teun Van Erp, sports scientist at Team Giant-Alpecin, pose with a 3D-printed mannequin replica of Dutch cyclist Tom Dumoulin wearing a special skinsuit they co-designed, in Delft, the Netherlands October 4, 2016.

3D mannequin helps cyclist go for gold

WASHINGTON - Scientists using homemade videos featuring a person in a King Kong costume have documented a remarkable cognitive skill shared by chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans: the human-like ability to recognize when someone else’s beliefs are wrong.

The research demonstrated that these great apes, humankind’s closest living evolutionary cousins, possess a capability thought until now to have been the exclusive domain of people, the scientists said on Thursday.

As individual apes were shown videos featuring a human actor and a costumed ape-like King Kong character, researchers tracked their eye movements. In the video, the human watches King Kong hide an object in one of two boxes. When the person leaves, King Kong moves the object to a new location.

When the person returns to find the object, the apes looked intently at the original spot in anticipation of the person searching there. Even though the apes knew the object had been moved, they understood that the human thought it was still there, said study co-leader Fumihiro Kano, a comparative psychologist at Kyoto University in Japan.

The ability to think about others’ thoughts and emotions is at the heart of so much of human social behavior, including our unique forms of communication, cooperation and culture, said study coleader Christopher Krupenye.

At the core of this ability is understanding that others’ actions are guided not necessarily by reality but by their beliefs about reality, even when false, added Krupenye, a comparative psychologist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany who worked on the study, published in the journal Science, at Duke University.

Human children fully develop this understanding by around age 4 or 5.

“Apes are incredibly intelligent, which isn’t so surprising given that they are our closest relatives, but I think that a lot of people underestimate the cognitive abilities of animals in general,” Krupenye said.

By studying these apes, researchers seek to learn which aspects of human psychology are unique to people and which are shared with other apes and thus likely were present in the common ancestor that lived some 13 to 18 million years ago before the split of the evolutionary lineage of humans and those other species, Krupenye added.

DELFT - By printing a 3D mannequin of leading international cyclist Tom Dumoulin and testing a series of skinsuits on his replica inside a wind tunnel until they found the perfect fit, researchers-at-tu-delft-believe-they-can-help-team-giant-alpecin-win-gold-at-the-uci-roadworld-championships”>researchers at TU Delft believe they can help Team Giant-Alpecin win gold at the UCI Road World Championships in Doha.

Olympic silver medalist Tom Dumoulin is confident of winning a gold medal in the men’s time trial at the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) Road World Championships in Doha on October 12 - and the leading cyclist has a secret weapon.

A skinsuit worn by the Dutchman was developed by researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), in conjunction with his team, Team Giant-Alpecin, using an unusual technique.

The inter-disciplinary team from TU Delft scanned Dumoulin’s body using photogrammetry, before 3D printing a full-sized replica mannequin of his body in classic riding

posture. The mannequin was then dressed in a series of skinsuits made of various fabrics and placed on his bicycle saddle, where it underwent tests in the university’s wind tunnel.

Dr Jouke Verlinden, of TU Delft’s Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, led the development of the mannequin, which first involved placing 150 DSLR cameras in a room and programming them to each simultaneously take a single image of Dumoulin sitting absolutely still on the cycle.

Verlinden told Reuters: “You really want to have someone like that fixed in the right position and you need to have an instant 3D scan

of that. We used a system based on photogrammetry, so taking a lot of pictures with a high-resolution camera, an SLR camera, and we had a rig with 150 of these cameras which took one picture completely at the same time, and from that we could reconstruct a 3D model.”

The mannequin was constructed using an inexpensive 3D printing method. This consisted of turning two household 3D printing machines on their head, so they could print up to two meters high, producing Dumoulin’s replica in eight separate parts. It took a total of 50 hours to print, before each part was attached via simple pinand-hole joints. (rtr)

Banyuwangi - Lombok sea toll road will require bans in Bali

IBP/eka

The governemnt has not given much attention to maintaining the beauty of these importatnt beaches and so their appearance has become chaotic.

Chaotic appearance of Segara and Sindhu Beaches to be addressed

DENPASAR - Bali’s roads already bear a heavy load, but this condition is made even worse by the fact that Bali’s roads are classified as class II, while those in Java are classified as class II. This differnece alone means that many trucks coming from Java bear heavier loads than Bali’s roads can handle. Tonnage violations by frieght trucks are common making the Denpasar-Gilimanuk road way prone to congestion and dammage is caused to many other of Bali’s roads too.

“Hopefully, the Banyuwangi-Lombok sea toll will in fact be built so that the burden on Bali’s roads can be alleviated – particularly the Gilimanuk Padangbai section of road over which many freight trucks form Java pass everyday”, said Secretary of Commission III of the Bali House of Representatives, Ketut Kariyasa Adnyana, when contacted on Sunday (Oct. 9).

Kariyasa added that not only do trucks with escessive tonnage accelerate the rate of deterioration of Bali’s roads, but they also ose a threat to other infrastructure, such as briges that threaten to collapse. Bali’s parliament therefor strongly supports the building of the Banywangi-Lombok sea toll, so that trucks heading for Lombok will be able to bypass Bali altogether. Certainly adequte regulations alos need to be issued, he added.

“Such a seaway needs to be accompanied by regulations that would forbid freight trucks that are heading to Lombok from using Bali’s roads”, explained Kariyasa.

Member of Commission II of the Bali House of Representatives, Tjok Asmara Putra Sukawati, says that Bali has been suffering great losses due to trucks carrying excessive tonnage. To make matters worse, many of these trucks are using Bali’s roads to transport freight that is not destined to meet the needs of the Island of the Gods.

“The sea toll will have a postitive impact on Bali as the burden on the isalnds roads will be lessened when only trucks carrying goods destined for Bali are allowed to use Bali’S roads, and will also make it easier to keep tabs on freight trucks in terms of tonnage”, said Tjok Sukawati. He also pointed out that presently all too many overwieght trucks paly a game of hide and seek with authorities and end up dammaging Bali’s infrasturcture.

Tjok Sukawati added that in order to optimize the utilization of Bali’S roads by freight trucks, there also needs to be a warehouse built in Gilimanuk so that the logistics of freight being brought in can be handled more effectively. For example, cargo headed for Denpasar can be transported directly to Denpasar, while cargo headed fo Singaraja can pass through Jembrana without having to pass through Denpasar. Such a system would also help alleiviate the burden of excessive tonnage – even for trucks that are delivering goods to Bali, he explained. (kmb32)

DENPASAR - The beauty of Sanur Beach and surrounding areas is famous the world over and, as Bali’s first tourism village, is one of the island’s main attractions. Unfortunately, the governemnt has not given much attention to maintaining the beauty of these importatnt beaches and so their appearance has become chaotic.

Zoo staff Sholpan Abdibekova and Tomiris, a five-year-old chimpanzee, react as they watch a BBC environmental programme in a primate winter enclosure in Almaty March 6, 2015.

Sanur community leader, A.A. Gede Putra Ariewangsa, when met on Sunday (Oct. 9) said that the government should undertake a comprehensive restructuring to the attractions in Denpasar because their contribution to the regionally generated revenue (PAD) is significant. On that account, the mutual benefit that would come from this reform should be undertaken well.

“The current condition of theese beaches should not be allowed to persist with vendors selling their wares haphazardly and disrumpting the comfrot of travellers. The lack of organization has given way dirty and choatic conditions” said

Ariewangsa who is also a Denpasar legislator.

He pointed out that many merchants on Segara Beach and Sindhu Beach annex parts of the coastal border to sell their wares. Not only does this make things dirty and choatic but also sets a bad precedence leading others to break the law and tarnish the image of Sanur.

What will happen if tourists stop coming here?”, he added.

As a resident of Sanur himself Ariewangsa expressed his hope that the Munisicpality of Denpasar, and other authorized agencies, will immediately undertake to coordinate with Sanur Villlage and relevant parties so that viola-

tors can be disciplined.

Aarrangements to Sanur Beach have in fact been ongoing since 2001 when the foorpath along the coast was first created. The Bali-Penida River Agency, along with the Directorate General of Water Resources, Ministry of Public Works are working together to make the beach even more beautiful. The plan is to make the footpath the border for merchants so that they do not block the view of the beach.

Only movable merchandise will be allowed to be placed along the beach and no permanent buildings will be allowed to block the sea view. (kmb12)

Gilimanuk Harbor most prone to drug smuggling

ENTRANCE gates into Bali should be equipped with sophisticated device to detect explosives and drugs smuggling. Moreover, Bali has become a world tourist destination and a favorite venue to organize national and international events. The discourse on the installation of international standard safety device at the largest harbor in Bali has not been realized so far.

“Gilimanuk Harbor is the most vulnerable to drug smuggling.

This happens because the examination has not yet been optimal.

Dozens of officers on duty there are impossible to check thousands of people and goods,” said the head of the national narcotics agency (BNNP) Bali, Putu Gede Suastawa, Friday (Oct. 7).

On that account, added Suastawa, his agency has proposed to central BNN and local government to install sophisticated device there. Otherwise, drug smuggling will certainly get away, let alone be delivered via courier. “This condition must be realized as soon as possible together and looked for solutions. Moreover, the drug dealers outside Bali are vying to market their illicit goods here,” he said.

For example, added Suastawa, related to the disclosure of three suspects on Wednesday (Oct. 5) by the BNNP team the drugs were delivered from Surabaya, East Java. So far, the drugs from dealers in Surabaya are dominantly circulating in Bali.

The suspects in the disclosure include Ketut Rusdita, 28, arrested in the parking lot of the supermarket on Jalan Kunti I, Kuta, with the evidence of a package of crystal meth weighing 0.48 gram and three ecstasy pills. Another suspect is Ida Bagus Jaya M, 44, arrested on Jalan Pulau Galang Dana, Pemogan, South Denpasar, with the evidence of two plastic clips of crystal meth weighing 1.02 grams, a bong and a white pipe. In the meantime, the suspect IGN Oka Witardarma, 27, was arrested on Jalan Teratai, Denpasar, with the evidence of three plastic of crystal meth weighing 2.06 grams, a bong and a duct tape.

“Result of the investigation showed that the crystal meth is delivered from Surabaya. Many outside dealers are now operating in Bali because the demands or drug users are still high,” said Suastawa.

One of the causing factors is the presence of travelers in Bali.

Travelers accustomed to using drugs when they are in Bali will still use it as well. Actually, police and the BNNP have intensively arrested the suspects.

“Moreover, Bali is also used as transit point to Lombok. Tourism in the region continues to grow accompanied with the circulation of drugs. We have read and detected the new modes used by drug traffickers,” said the one-star general from Gulingan village, Mengwi.

Chief of the Denpasar Police Narcotics Investigation Unit, Gede Ganefo, recognized that many dealers outside Bali smuggle drugs into this island. Moreover, the dealer from Aceh also delivers its supply to Bali. “However, the dealer from Pontianak arrested on Tuesday (Oct. 4) is for the first time. The suspect DF admitted it was ordered by an inmate in Bali, but we are still investigating further.

The evidence secured is worth IDR 360 million,” he said.

It is estimated the supply of such illicit goods will increase before the turn of the year 2016 to 2017. It is considering that the New Year’s Eve is usually celebrated with a party, including the party of drugs. “To that end, we intensify the investigation, especially the collection of information. Until now, the delivery of drugs through courier services is still rampant,” he said. (rah)

Once-powerful Philippines Church divided, subdued over drug killings

IBP/file

As of October 1, 2016, the Indonesia Retailers Association (Aprindo) decided to go back to providing back free plastic bags.

Aprindo no longer charging for plastic bags

MANGUPURA - As of October 1, 2016, the Indonesia Retailers Association (Aprindo) decided to go back to providing back free plastic bags. Aprindo is calling on the government to immediately issue a regulation of Ministry of Environment and Forestry regulation as currently the only legal basis for Aprindo to act is based on a circular governing this matter.

“Surely the circular cannot serve as a legal basis. We know that the circular is only an appeal, and indeed at we applied the governemnt program on a test basis, but we are in fact under no leagal obligation to continue” explained Roy N. Mandey, Chairman of the Indonesia Retailers Association, on Saturday (Oct. 8) during the inauguration of Aprindo Bali.

Aprindo’s decision to go back to providing plastic bags free of charge is based on disruptions to theoir trading activities that charging customers for plastic bags has caused them. They will con-

tinue to provide plastic bags free of charge until there is a ministerial regulation aimed at reducing plastic waste, that requires them to start charging for bags again.

Aprindo stated that they continue to support the governments aim at redicing plastic waste. “Hopefully, the government will have drafted and issued a new regulation by the end of November. This will be applied nationally, not only in Jakarta, but across Indonesia” said Aprindo’s chairman.

He emphasized that Aprindo previously got on board with the paid plastic bag movement, because it

is a good way to reduce single use consumption of plastic waste that is only used for 1 hour. “This program is meant to accustom people to a change in their lifestyle and habits regarding shopping bags, encouraging people to bring their own bags tmade of natural fibres that can be used again and again. It is certainly more economical, and more efficient. These bags can be used repeatedly so as not to generate waste” he explained.

Aprindo has 48 regional offices and 23 district offices with a total of 35,000 stores from Aceh to Jayapura. In Bali there are about 600 stores under Aprindo. According to Minister of Commerce Regulation No.70/2009 there are five retail formats namely minimarket, supermarket, hypermarket, wholesale and department stores that are under the saem rulings.

MANILA - Catholic priests from the Philippines Church, an institution that helped oust two of the country’s leaders in the past, say they are afraid and unsure how to speak out against the war on drugs unleashed by new President Rodrigo Duterte.

In interviews with Reuters, more than a dozen clergymen in Asia’s biggest Catholic nation said they were uncertain how to take a stand against the thousands of killings in a war that has such overwhelming popular support. Challenging the president’s campaign could be fraught with danger, some said.

Duterte, who had a 76 percent satisfaction rating in a survey released last week, has quashed opposition to his war on drugs and blasted critics in curseladen language. More than 3,600 people, mostly small-time drug users and dealers, have died at the hands of police and suspected vigilantes since he took power on June 30.

In another poll conducted by the same agency, the Social Weather Stations, 84 percent of respondents said they were satisfied or somewhat satisfied with the war on the drugs, although a majority said they had qualms about the killings.

Opposing the drug war “in some locations becomes a dangerous job”, said Father Luciano Felloni, a priest in a northern district of the capital, Manila. At least 30 people, including a child and a pregnant

woman, have been killed in his ‘barangay’, or neighbourhood, where he is setting up community-based rehabilitation for drug users.

“There is a lot of fear because the way people have been killed is vigilante-style so anyone could become a target ... There is no way of protecting yourself.”

Another priest, who like several others asked for anonymity because of possible reprisals, said it was risky to question the killings openly. Dozens of drug addicts and pushers are being killed every day, but anyone who criticises Duterte’s campaign could suffer a similar fate, he said.

Presidential spokesman Ernesto Abella said the Church was free to make statements, and there was no cause “to even imply” that anyone in the clergy would be targeted.

However, Abella added: “The Church needs to consider that recent surveys show the people trust and appreciate the president’s efforts and it would do well to take heed and not presume that the people share their belief system.”

“We expect them to be reasonable and considered.”

Duterte said on Monday he would not stop the campaign.

“I’m really appalled by so many groups and individuals, including priests and bishops, complaining about the number of persons killed in the operation against drugs,” he said in a speech in the southern city of Zamboanga. (rtr)

This murals are also part of a street art exhibition held in Bentara Budaya, Bali, from September 9 to October 16, 2016.

Artists who are interested in this field have worked in Bali, with their works being a reflection between art and urban values, said Tubagus.

“These developments are

On the occasion of this exhibition, he noted that the National Gallery of Indonesia invited four artists from the mural community who have experience in developing their ideas in public spaces, especially in Bali and around Bali island, namely Jamur Community, Pojok Community, Slinat Com-

munity and Batu Belah (Suklu) Community.

Besides the mural exhibition, there is a painting exhibition by Indonesian artists, with the theme “Take A Closer Look to The National Gallery of Indonesia”, which was held from October 10 to October 14, 2016, at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC), the same location as

the World Culture Form event in 2016.

This exhibition, he added, displaying two reproductions by Indonesian artists. The first painting is titled Kapal dilanda Badai (Ships hit by Hurricane) (1851)

by Raden Saleh Syarif Bustaman, while the second painting is called Ibuku (My Mom) (1941)

Children play cards at the wake of a victim of drug related killing after unidentified men entered his home and shot him dead, according to his relatives, in Caloocan city, Metro Manila, Philippines, October 10, 2016.

Statements from German, French and EU leaders show they have been working on maintaining a united front in anticipation of British attempts to play the other 27 members off against each other and have agreed some broad negotiating lines.

Their firmly articulated, central aim is to nip in the bud British demands for free trade without open immigration - once pithily summed up by Brexit leader and now foreign minister Boris Johnson as “having cake and eating it”.

Less audibly, cracks have appeared in the EU refusal to discuss options before May triggers a formal process that will launch

Britain out the door in two years, with some diplomats suggesting such talks could mean a less radical split.

May’s setting a timetable appeased those at home who feared she was bridling at the decision to leave the EU which voters chose in a referendum in June. But it raised fears among others that she had cornered herself into a total break with the bloc.

T h e G e r m a n c h a n c e l l o r, French president and heads of EU institutions in Brussels took a common line that May’s demands to be free to bar EU immigrants and escape oversight

by EU courts mean Britain can-

not stay inside the EU single market.

That, EU officials say, means a “hard Brexit”, with London’s best option perhaps a free trade deal, maybe a little better than a current EU offer to Canada.

President Hollande endorsed the term “hard Brexit” last week, making clear that if that is what Britons want, France will “push this wish through” and ensure Britain ends up truly out.

May hopes for “preparatory work” with her EU counterparts to smooth the launch of formal talks. British officials want “prenegotiations” before she writes to trigger the two-year exit process under Article 50 of the EU treaty.

If her initial demands are rejected out of hand, she may have little domestic political room to water them down. (rtr)

BUSINESS Trump trouble lifts Mexican peso; yuan briefly hits 6-yr low

LONDON - The Mexican peso surged to a one-month high on Monday as Republican Donald Trump’s chances of clinching the U.S. presidency appeared to have ebbed further, while China’s yuan briefly spooked markets by hitting a six-year low.

Trump’s prospects for winning the election took a hammering over the weekend following the release of a 2005 video in which he made sexually aggressive comments about women. His Sunday debate with Democratic candidate Hilary Clinton did not improve his position and Clinton is seen having an edge ahead of the Nov. 8 vote.

The peso surged as much as 2 percent at one point before giving up some gains. Seen as most vulnerable to a Trump win because of his threat to slap tariffs on Mexican imports and build a wall to keep out immigrants, the peso has fallen around 9 percent against the dollar this year.

But this month it has risen 2.4 percent as Trump’s chances have been seen declining. “It’s obviously trading as the barometer for the presidential election,” said Dominic Bunning, an emerging markets FX strategist at HSBC. “The pressure has been on Trump in the past few days and that’s coincided with a move down in dollar/Mexico.”

Analysts warn, however, that the peso remains vulnerable to other factors such as domestic politics, oil prices and a current account deficit.

“The peso will continue to strengthen along with Clinton’s chances of becoming U.S. president, but the upside is more limited than many may expect,” SEB analysts told clients. China’s yuan touched a six-year low, before erasing some of its losses on the first

day of trading after a week-long holiday.

The currency breached the key psychological threshold of 6.7 per dollar after the People’s Bank of China set its daily guidance rate at its weakest since September

2010.

But Bunning said the fix was relatively close to the week’s moves when the onshore market was closed. The U.S. dollar index rallied to a two-month high on Friday ahead of monthly U.S. payrolls data. “We don’t think the move in the fix was notable when you look at it in context to the offshore market,” Bunning said. “It’s still around the 6.70 area; it hasn’t aggressively broken through.”

Chinese mainland stocks were up 1.4 percent, playing catch-up after the week-long closure, although gains were capped by selling in property shares as more cities imposed curbs on home purchases to cool the market. China’s central bank governor has also stepped up the rhetoric against rapid rises in home prices and continued credit growth, signalling further action.

Also in Asia, the Thai baht hit a three-month low, down 0.6 per-

cent against the dollar, and stocks slipped 3 percent after a palace statement that the 88-year old king was in an unstable condition. The benchmark emerging market stocks index was flat, retreating further from one-week highs touched last week.

Saudi stocks lost 0.6 percent, extending Sunday’s 2.2 percent loss caused by a selloff in bank shares on concerns the troubled construction sector could saddle banks with bad debts. But Polish stocks bounced 0.7 percent, after German exports posted their biggest rise in more than six years. Central and Eastern European markets are closely tied to Germany for trade and investment.

The South African rand, a bellwether of risk appetite for emerging markets, also bounced 0.8 percent to the dollar. But the Turkish lira slipped 0.3 percent, after data showing industrial output up just 2.2 percent year-on-year in August.

“The bigger picture is that growth weakened over the first two months of Q3 and September’s manufacturing PMI suggests that activity remained sluggish at the end of the quarter,” Liza Ermolenko, an economist at Capital Economics, said in a note. “All told, it still looks like the Turkish economy slowed substantially following the attempted military coup.”

Ethiopian eurobonds traded a touch lower, though broadly in line with wider markets, after Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn declared a six-month nationwide state of emergency on Sunday, saying months of unrest threatened the Horn of Africa nation’s stability. (rtr)

Egyptian inflation eases, still 14.1 pct in September CAIRO - Egypt’s annual urban consumer price inflation eased to 14.1 percent in September, from an eight-year high of 15.5 percent in August, the official statistics agency CAPMAS said on Monday.

Headline inflation jumped in August, raising expectations that the central bank would hike interest rates on Sept. 22, but the central bank held rates citing transitory

factors that pushed up costs.

September’s fall is the first in the urban measure since March. Inflation has been rising steadily since April and economists expect it to keep rising as Egypt implements an overhaul that includes subsidy cuts and devaluing its pound.

Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is under increasing pressure to revive the economy and curb

inflation to avoid a public backlash. Economists say the pound, maintained at 8.78 per dollar, will have to be devalued before the end of the year, driving up prices further given Egypt’s dependence on imported goods.

Egypt has a staff level agreement with the International Monetary Fund over a $12 billion loan programme but still needs final

approval from the IMF board.

IMF chief Christine Lagarde said on Saturday that Egypt would have to take action on the exchange rate and subsidies before the board could formally approve the loan.

“Looking ahead, despite September’s dip, we expect inflation to rise again soon,” Capital Economics said in a research note on

Monday.

“After all, the authorities are edging closer to securing a financing agreement with the IMF and one of the key lending conditions will be a shift to a more flexible exchange rate,” it said, predicting the pound will weaken by around 25 percent against the dollar by end-2017, driving prices up further.

Global collaboration needed to fight illegal fishing: President Jokowi

YOGYAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has said that a global collaboration is needed to fight illegal fishing, which has been transformed into a serious and organized transnational crime.

Illegal fishing was also related to other crimes, such as smuggling drugs and other contraband, as well as human smuggling, illegal migrant workers, and violations against nature, the president said during his opening remarks at the Second International Symposium on Fisheries Crime, here, Monday.

The Head of State also said that illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing could threaten the survival of the Earth if it is allowed to expand.

For IUU fishing does not only affect the fishery industry, but also damages the environment, Jokowi said during the Second FishCRIME Symposium. Seas are income sources for 520 million people across the world, providing food for 2.6 billion people.

“Illegal fishing practices have reduced the worlds fish stock by 90.1 percent,” the President said. Indonesias experiences are proof that IUU fishing problems cannot be ignored.

According to data from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in 2014, Indonesia is in the second rankings of the worlds largest sea fish producers, with a total catch amounting to six million tons, or 6.8 percent of the worlds total sea fish production.

“We believe that the figure is still below Indonesias maximum potential, due to IUU fishing practices,” Jokowi stated.

Indonesia suffers economic losses of US$20 billion annually due to illegal fishing, which also threatened the existence of 65 percent of Indonesian coral reefs.

Indonesian authorities have detained and sunk 236 fishing boats for illegal fishing in its waters.

“And it has shown the results. The fish exploitation rate in Indonesia has dropped between 30 and 35 percent, while its national fish stock increased from 7.3 million tons in 2013 to 9.9 million tons in 2015,” Jokowi said.

Further, during the January-June 2016 period, the countrys fish exports surged by 7.34 percent, compared to that during the same period last year.

“But, we are not satisfied, and want to learn further from the successes of others countries in the fight against IUU fishing,” Jokowi said. (ant)

Jakarta police probe mosque vandalism amid tension ahead of election

JAKARTA - Indonesian police on Monday urged Muslims to stay calm and not be “provoked” by the vandalism of a mosque in the capital, aiming to dispel fears of growing ethnic tension in the run-up to next year’s election for the governor of Jakarta.

Over the weekend, white Christian crosses were found spray-painted at several locations, including on the green gates of the Al Falah Mosque in Jakarta, the largest city in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation.

The incident risks fueling already simmering tension ahead of February’s election, which pits the Christian and ethnic Chinese incumbent, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, against Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, a son of former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, and the previous education minister, Anies Baswedan.

Yudhoyono and Baswedan are both Muslim in a nation where about 90 percent of the 250-million population follows Islam.

Indonesia also has a sizeable ethnic Chinese minority, many of whom are Buddhist. The country has a history of anti-Chinese violence, most sharply in the late 1990s amid the political and

economic crisis that brought down authoritarian ruler Suharto.

Police were still looking for the vandal, Jakarta police spokesman Awi Setiyono said, adding that it was uncertain whether the act was linked to the election. “We urge the public not to be influenced and to control themselves.”

Purnama, better known by his nickname “Ahok”, became Jakarta’s first ethnic Chinese governor in 2014, after then-governor Joko Widodo stepped down to successfully run for president.

Hardline Muslim groups had opposed his rise to power.

Purnama has a reputation as a tough reformer, but he has recently come under attack from several Muslim groups for allegedly insulting the religion’s holy book, the Koran.

Muhammadiyah, one of the country’s biggest Muslim organizations, had asked the police to investigate Purnama

for alleged religious defamation.

During a visit to an Indonesian island last month, Purnama referred to a verse from the Koran that seemed to suggest it was unIslamic to vote for a leader of a different religion, according to a video circulated on social media.

“Insulting a religion and spreading hatred among Muslims is a criminal case,” Pedri Kasman, an official at Muhammadiyah’s youth wing, which filed the police report, told Reuters.

Purnama’s words were taken out of context and incorrectly linked to religious defamation, said Mohamad Guntur Romli, an official of his election campaign. Political opponents had been fanning tension ahead of the election, he added.

While most Indonesians are rational and will choose a leader based on merit, some camps would still vote along racial or religious lines, said Irine Gayatri, a political analyst at government body the Indonesian Institute of Sciences.

“Race and religion are a convenient tool that can easily be exploited by political opponents,” she added. (rtr)

Trump vs Clinton: He calls her a devil, she says he abuses women

ST. LOUIS - A defiant Donald Trump said Hillary Clinton would go to jail if he were president and attacked her husband for his treatment of women in a vicious presidential debate less than a month before the U.S. election.

The Sunday night debate, the second of three before the Nov. 8 vote, was remarkable for the brutal nature of the exchanges between Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, and Clinton, his Democratic rival.

He called her a “devil” who repeatedly lies, someone with tremendous hate in her heart. She called him an abuser of women.

There was a palpable sense of mutual contempt as they stood on stage, refusing to shake hands at the start. Moderators Anderson Cooper of CNN and Martha Raddatz of ABC both seemed at points to be grimly watching two trains collide. Through it all, Trump, 70, and Clinton, 68, both landed punches as they clashed over taxes, healthcare, U.S. policy in the Syria civil war and Clinton’s comments that half of Trump’s supporters belonged in a “basket of deplorables.”

Trump took the stage in St. Louis, Missouri, at the most perilous time of his 16-month-old candidacy.

The Manhattan businessman-turned-politician gave a more disciplined performance than at the first debate two weeks ago, but left Republicans torn over whether to publicly abandon a badly wounded candidate endangering closely contested congressional races or stand behind him in the dimming hope he can still win them the White House.

A 2005 video, uncovered on Friday, of Trump making vulgar remarks about women prompted a stampede of Republican politicians to abandon him.

Even after the debate, party leaders remained

concerned that Trump had not shown enough contrition over the sexually aggressive remarks to win over independents and women voters who could decide the election.

He again described the comments as “locker-room talk” and said he had never kissed or groped women without their permission, despite having bragged about doing so on the video which emerged on Friday.

President Bill Clinton had done worse to women, Trump said in one of several forceful attacks that may reinforce his popularity with his core supporters who detest the Democratic nominee.

Hillary Clinton responded that Trump’s comments showed he was unfit for the White House.

“He has said the video doesn’t represent who he is but I think it’s clear to anyone who heard it that it represents exactly who he is,” Clinton said.

She accused Trump of dodging a discussion of policy issues to avoid talking about his campaign because of “the way yours is exploding and Republicans are leaving you.”

A CNN/ORC snap poll of debate watchers found that 57 percent thought Clinton won the encounter, versus 34 percent for Trump. U.S. stock futures and the Mexican peso crept higher as markets saw less chance of a Trump victory. Trump’s plans to slap tariffs on imports and renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) are seen as negative for Mexico and Canada, which is why their currencies swing when his odds of winning change.

Yemen’s Houthis lash out after air strike with missile attack

SANAA - Yemen’s Houthi movement fired ballistic missiles at Saudi Arabia, and the United States said a failed missile attack from Houthi-controlled areas targeted one of its warships, two days after an apparent Saudi-led air strike killed 140 Yemenis.

The air strike ripped through a wake attended by some of the country’s top political and security officials, outraging Yemeni society and potentially galvanising powerful tribes to join the Houthis in opposing a Saudi-backed exiled government.

Riyadh is leading a coalition of Arab states which began launching air strikes in Yemen 18 months ago to restore to power ousted President Abd Rabbu Mansour al-Hadi, who was driven from the capital two years ago by the Houthis.The Houthis, fighters from a Shi’ite sect that ruled a thousand-year kingdom in northern Yemen until 1962, are allied to Hadi’s predecessor Ali Abdullah Saleh. They have the support of many army units and control most of the north including the capital Sanaa.

The war has killed at least 10,000 people and brought parts of Yemen, by far the poorest country in the Arabian peninsula, to the brink of starvation. Both sides accuse the other of war crimes.

The Saudis say the Houthis are stooges of their enemy Iran. The Houthis say they have led a national revolt against a corrupt government, and the country is now being punished by its rich and aggressive Gulf Arab neighbours with U.S. political and military support.

Riyadh has denied responsibility for Saturday’s air strike, one of the bloodiest incidents of the war.

A U.S. military spokesman said two missiles were fired from Houthi-held territory at the USS Mason, a guided missile destroyer sailing north of the strategic Bab al-Mandab strait. Neither missile hit the ship.

The Houthis denied firing at the U.S. ship.

The Saudi-led coalition said it had intercepted a missile fired by the Houthis at a military base in Taif in central Saudi Arabia, striking deeper then ever before in the latest in a series of more than a dozen missile attacks.

A missile was also fired at Marib in central Yemen, a base for pro-government militiamen and troops who have struggled to advance on the Houthi-controlled capital Sanaa. Saudi Arabia and its Gulf Arab allies have launched thousands of air strikes against the Houthis during the 18-month war, and have imposed a naval blockade that has restricted trade to a country that depends on imported food to feed itself.(rtr)

From page 1 McCrory said several swelling rivers were expected to hit record levels and would not crest for days. “Hurricane Matthew is off the map, but it is still with us and it is still deadly,” he said.

The National Weather Service said “life-threatening flooding” would continue on Monday over eastern portions of the state. Many coastal and inland communities remained under water, either from coastal storm surge or overrun rivers and creeks. All 2,000 residents of Princeville, were told on Sunday to evacuate due to flash flood risks. The town lies on the Tar River about 25 miles (40 km) north of Greenville.

Several dams have breached in the area around Cumberland County, south of Raleigh, Michael Martin, fire marshal for the city of Fayetteville, said by phone.

Swiftwater rescue teams are still on alert and there have been 255 water rescue calls and 701 people rescued.

In neighboring South Carolina, a vehicle trying to cross a flooded roadway in Florence County was swept away by flood waters, killing one person, Governor Nikki Haley said. Jake Williams, a resident of Florence, said on early Monday that his power had been out since Saturday morning.

“Trees are down in every neighborhood on almost every road,” he said, adding “I am no weather man, but would guess that the gusts of wind were near 100 mph (160 km), and with soggy ground a lot trees couldn’t stand up to it.”

In Virginia Beach, the city said it had received over 13 inches (33 cm) of rain and 55,000 people remained without power on Sunday night. The city said that some 200 vehicles were abandoned and many roads remained impassable.

Norfolk, which declared a state of emergency, said efforts were under way to clear streets of debris and abandoned vehicles with city offices, libraries and recreational centers set to re-open Monday.

ROOFTOP RESCUE

The storm center was about 200 miles (320 km) off the coast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and heading away from land, according to the National Hurricane Center’s Sunday 5 p.m. (2100 GMT) report. It discontinued all tropical storm warnings. The storm still packed hurricane force winds as far as 90 miles (150 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds 240 miles (390 km) away.

U.S. President Barack Obama declared a state of emergency in Georgia and Florida, freeing up federal money to help the states repair damaged infrastructure and remove debris. McCrory said 334 rescue workers risked their lives carrying out 877 rescues overnight. (rtr)

Australia hope Kyrgios has turned corner after Japan win

MELBOURNE - Melbourne’s notoriously changeable weather threatened to wash out the soft launch of the Australian Open on Monday but the rain was unable to dampen the cheer among tournament organisers enthused by Nick Kyrgios’s weekend victory in Japan.

AMLAPURA - Telaga Waja River flows below Bali’s highest peak, Mt. Agung, an active volcano that last erupted in the 1960s. Many Balinese regard the mountain as sacred which

lends a unique touch to Telaga Waja River rafting trips and you might even see ash or smoke rising from Agung. People new to whitewater rafting will appreciate the Telaga Waja’s mix

of class II and III rapids because they create some excitement but aren’t overly challenging.

Families can also consider Telaga Waja rafting trips. Although river rafting trips in Bali

tend to be rather short affairs they create the opportunity to experience the island’s natural beauty from a new vantage point, bringing rafters into intimate contact with the tropical

riparian environment, as well as village life off the beaten path.

The tempestuous 21-year-old, Australia’s brightest hope of a men’s grand slam champion since twice winner Lleyton Hewitt, clinched the Japan Open on Sunday with an impressive win over rising Belgian David Goffin.

For a player who professes no love for tennis and has admitted to being “a little bit soft”, Kyrgios has won all three of his titles this season, his latest in Tokyo the biggest of a still fledgling career.

Kyrgios clobbered 25 aces past Goffin but a more telling statistic might have been the zero tantrums committed by the hot-headed Australian during the tense three-setter.

The prospect of a fit, in-form and happy Kyrgios making a deep run at the Australian Open would be a dream outcome for the tournament’s organisers but not one they were willing to indulge out loud on Monday, lest the wish not come true.

“It’s a long journey; it’s a longterm journey when it comes to Nick,” a wary Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley said after being soaked by a spring shower at the tournament’s launch near Melbourne Park.

“But he’s certainly, we’ve felt, more recently turned the corner.

“But his performances this past

week has been tremendous in winning his third professional title.

“And that’s fairly remarkable.

There’s a lot of pressure on him. We do what we can. We have a long-term view of it.”

Easing the pressure on Kyrgios has almost become a mantra in Australia, where a litany of former players, coaches and pundits have previously offered a mixture of well-intentioned advice and blunt

criticism.

Most, if not all of the feedback, has been summarily dismissed and its purveyors ridiculed on Kyrgios’s social media accounts.

But where other would-be mentors have failed, Hewitt, Australia’s Davis Cup captain, has proved the most successful in coaxing the

prickly young talent back into the national fold.

The 35-year-old’s unwavering defence of Kyrgios, warts and all, was rewarded when the player pledged himself for Davis Cup duty and helped Australia retain its place in the World Group with a playoff win over Slovakia last month. (rtr)

Mercedes’ driver Nico Rosberg of Germany celebrates winning the race.

in the Japanese Grand Prix.

The German eased to a maiden win from pole position at the Suzuka circuit on Sunday, chalking up his ninth win of the year, to lift himself 33 points clear of Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton in the overall standings.

Such is Rosberg’s margin that, with just four races to go, the 31year-old can take the title without needing to win another race.

“I don’t feel relief,” said Rosberg, only the fifth driver to win nine races in a season. “I’m just happy to win the Suzuka race.”

“Rosberg’s comments are in keeping with the approach the German has adopted this year, focussing on each race as it comes rather than the campaign as a whole.

Runner-up to Hamilton in the overall standings in the last two years, he is not planning to change it

now that the title is within reach.

“The best reasoning is that it’s actually working quite well,” said Rosberg. “So why change something if it’s going quite well?

“The approach that I have at the moment is just coming here, focussing on the weekend and trying to get that win.”

Never has a driver who has won eight or more races in a season gone on to lose the title.

Rosberg also currently appears to have the psychological edge over Hamilton, who cut a distracted and withdrawn figure in Suzuka.

But Rosberg, who can equal Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel’s record of 13 wins in a season if he triumphs at the remaining races, knows how quickly fortunes can turn.

Hamilton has not won since the German Grand Prix at the end of

July while Rosberg has won four of the five races since.

Nevertheless, the Briton had been on course to take back the overall lead until his engine blew in Malaysia.

Rosberg also knows that in Hamilton he faces a formidable competitor, who earlier this season converted a 43-point deficit to the German into a 19-point advantage with a streak of six wins from seven races.

“You can see how quick it goes in Malaysia, you’re in the lead and if the other guy wins its 25 points lost and then the gap is down to eight,” said Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff.

“Remember when Nico won eight races in a row and then Lewis had that winning streak?

“I think its going to go down to the end.” (rtr)

Sp rt Coach Ventura blames inexperience for Italy blackout

Goalkeeper Hart says no regrets over Torino move

Goalkeeper Joe Hart does not regret his move to Italian side Torino on a season-long loan and believes it was the best available option after falling out of favour with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

The 29-year-old moved to Torino in August after Guardiola, apparently concerned by Hart’s ball distribution, decided to bring

SKOPJE - Italy coach Giampiero Ventura blamed inexperience for a second-half blackout which left his team on the brink of a shock defeat to rank outsiders Macedonia in a World Cup qualifier on Sunday.

Macedonia, trailing 1-0 at halftime, scored two goals in three minutes and had two clear chances to score a third shortly afterwards as Italy dramatically fell apart.

The four-times world champions looked lost and could barely string two passes together until two goals from Ciro Immobile rescued the Italians and gave them a 3-2 win.

“For 10 minutes, we stopped being a team, but then we were once again the Italy that everyone knows and we got this result,” said Ventura, who replaced Antonio Conte as coach after Euro 2016.

“We made mistakes borne out of inexperience, but that is something you have to accept with a group of young players.” The win puts Italy level on seven points with group leaders Spain who they trail goal difference after

three games.

Ventura, a 68-year-old who is widely respected in Italy but has never won a major title in a long, much-travelled coaching career, said he still had confidence in his players.

“It’s unlikely that we will keep making these mistakes, all we can do is improve,” he said. “We have to be ourselves from now on. But with this group of lads, we have the possibility to do well.”

Veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon described the game as “very strange.” “We took the lead but we didn’t administer this well because we gave away too many scoring chances, and that’s a mistake we don’t usually make,” he said.

“The good thing was the result, we have been rewarded for playing with heart and soul

in Claudio Bravo from Spanish side Barcelona.

“Football is a game of opinions and some people have a great opinion of me and some people probably think I’m absolutely useless,” Hart told British media.

“Unfortunately for me, one of the guys’ opinions in charge of my club wasn’t as strong as it needed

to be. It was what it was. I had a situation at City where my playing time was going to be limited, so I had to look elsewhere.

“I felt like Torino was the best option. I’m not going to lie. I wasn’t sat there with 25 options.

Torino was a really good option for me and it definitely excited me to go to play in Serie A... I have no regrets.”(rtr)

although it was maybe more than we deserved.

Pique handed support over sleeve controversy

Spain defender Gerard Pique has received support from coach Julen Lopetegui and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) after declaring his intention to quit international football following the 2018 World Cup. The Barcelona defender, who has made 86 appearances and won a World Cup and a European Championship with Spain, said constant criticism from supporters and the media had “killed my joy in playing for Spain” after Sunday’s 2-0 win over Albania.

Pique, who has been booed by Spain supporters in the last year, caused a stir on social media by appearing against Albania with the sleeves cut off his Spain shirt, thus appearing to remove the bands displaying the red and yellow colours of Spain.

The RFEF released a statement on Monday with a photo highlighting that the long-sleeved shirt Pique had modified did not have the red and yellow stripes on its original design.

“The Royal Spanish Football Federation wishes to show its support to the international footballer Gerard Pique about the controversy regarding the

cut made on his jersey in the match against Albania,” the statement said.

“This is contrary to some malicious comments made after the Spanish player was accused of cutting the sleeves of the jersey to avoid wearing the band with the national colours.

“The RFEF wishes to explain that said band on the Adidas jersey only exists in the short sleeve version, and not on the long sleeve, which is the one Pique used in the match.

“Gerard Pique cut the sleeve with the sole aim of playing more comfortably, the same way other players have done on many occasions.” Spain coach Lopetegui meanwhile said he sympathised with the defender. “This does deserve any comment as I don’t think it’s a serious issue. I also understand Pique. We are very happy with his performance and of the rest of the team,” Lopetegui told Teledeporte.

“We’re calm and relaxed about this. Some journalists might find this interesting but us professionals do not. Pique’s commitment cannot be doubted.

We’re going to let this issue calm down, there’s no need to jump to conclusions.”(rtr)

Finnbogason strike eases Iceland past Turkey

LONDON - A sizzling volleyed strike

by Alfred Finnbogason helped Euro 2016 quarter-finalists Iceland to a 2-0 win over toothless Turkey in Reykajvik on Sunday.

The win sends them into second place in Group I level on seven points with leaders Croatia.

In their previous qualifier against Finland, Iceland had to stage a dramatic comeback, scoring twice at the death to win 3-2, but this time they grabbed two goals just before the interval to calm their nerves and allow them to coast to victory.

Central defender Omer Toprak deflected a shot by Elmar Bjarnason into his own net in the 42nd minute and two minutes later Finnbogason scored a stunning volley following a long headed clearance by Kari Arnason down the middle.

The visitors offered little in reply as Iceland continued to enhance their reputation as one of Europe’s toughest sides to break down.

Next month they visit leaders Croatia in a meeting of the top two, while Fatih Terim’s struggling side seek their first victory in the current qualifying campaign against Kosovo.(rtr)

Sp rt Coach Ventura blames inexperience for Italy blackout

Goalkeeper Hart says no regrets over Torino move

Goalkeeper Joe Hart does not regret his move to Italian side Torino on a season-long loan and believes it was the best available option after falling out of favour with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

The 29-year-old moved to Torino in August after Guardiola, apparently concerned by Hart’s ball distribution, decided to bring

SKOPJE - Italy coach Giampiero Ventura blamed inexperience for a second-half blackout which left his team on the brink of a shock defeat to rank outsiders Macedonia in a World Cup qualifier on Sunday.

Macedonia, trailing 1-0 at halftime, scored two goals in three minutes and had two clear chances to score a third shortly afterwards as Italy dramatically fell apart.

The four-times world champions looked lost and could barely string two passes together until two goals from Ciro Immobile rescued the Italians and gave them a 3-2 win.

“For 10 minutes, we stopped being a team, but then we were once again the Italy that everyone knows and we got this result,” said Ventura, who replaced Antonio Conte as coach after Euro 2016.

“We made mistakes borne out of inexperience, but that is something you have to accept with a group of young players.” The win puts Italy level on seven points with group leaders Spain who they trail goal difference after

three games.

Ventura, a 68-year-old who is widely respected in Italy but has never won a major title in a long, much-travelled coaching career, said he still had confidence in his players.

“It’s unlikely that we will keep making these mistakes, all we can do is improve,” he said. “We have to be ourselves from now on. But with this group of lads, we have the possibility to do well.”

Veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon described the game as “very strange.” “We took the lead but we didn’t administer this well because we gave away too many scoring chances, and that’s a mistake we don’t usually make,” he said.

“The good thing was the result, we have been rewarded for playing with heart and soul

in Claudio Bravo from Spanish side Barcelona.

“Football is a game of opinions and some people have a great opinion of me and some people probably think I’m absolutely useless,” Hart told British media.

“Unfortunately for me, one of the guys’ opinions in charge of my club wasn’t as strong as it needed

to be. It was what it was. I had a situation at City where my playing time was going to be limited, so I had to look elsewhere.

“I felt like Torino was the best option. I’m not going to lie. I wasn’t sat there with 25 options.

Torino was a really good option for me and it definitely excited me to go to play in Serie A... I have no regrets.”(rtr)

although it was maybe more than we deserved.

“The coach tries to help us by passing on his concepts and his way of interpreting football,” he added. “At times we make mistakes, so that some games that seem easy on paper become complicated.”(rtr) REUTERS/Ognen Teofilovski

Australia hope Kyrgios has turned corner after Japan win

MELBOURNE - Melbourne’s notoriously changeable weather threatened to wash out the soft launch of the Australian Open on Monday but the rain was unable to dampen the cheer among tournament organisers enthused by Nick Kyrgios’s weekend victory in Japan.

AMLAPURA - Telaga Waja River flows below Bali’s highest peak, Mt. Agung, an active volcano that last erupted in the 1960s. Many Balinese regard the mountain as sacred which

lends a unique touch to Telaga Waja River rafting trips and you might even see ash or smoke rising from Agung. People new to whitewater rafting will appreciate the Telaga Waja’s mix

of class II and III rapids because they create some excitement but aren’t overly challenging.

Families can also consider Telaga Waja rafting trips. Although river rafting trips in Bali

tend to be rather short affairs they create the opportunity to experience the island’s natural beauty from a new vantage point, bringing rafters into intimate contact with the tropical

riparian environment, as well as village life off the beaten path.

The tempestuous 21-year-old, Australia’s brightest hope of a men’s grand slam champion since twice winner Lleyton Hewitt, clinched the Japan Open on Sunday with an impressive win over rising Belgian David Goffin.

For a player who professes no love for tennis and has admitted to being “a little bit soft”, Kyrgios has won all three of his titles this season, his latest in Tokyo the biggest of a still fledgling career.

Kyrgios clobbered 25 aces past Goffin but a more telling statistic might have been the zero tantrums committed by the hot-headed Australian during the tense three-setter.

The prospect of a fit, in-form and happy Kyrgios making a deep run at the Australian Open would be a dream outcome for the tournament’s organisers but not one they were willing to indulge out loud on Monday, lest the wish not come true.

“It’s a long journey; it’s a longterm journey when it comes to Nick,” a wary Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley said after being soaked by a spring shower at the tournament’s launch near Melbourne Park.

“But he’s certainly, we’ve felt, more recently turned the corner.

“But his performances this past

week has been tremendous in winning his third professional title.

“And that’s fairly remarkable.

There’s a lot of pressure on him. We do what we can. We have a long-term view of it.”

Easing the pressure on Kyrgios has almost become a mantra in Australia, where a litany of former players, coaches and pundits have previously offered a mixture of well-intentioned advice and blunt

criticism.

Most, if not all of the feedback, has been summarily dismissed and its purveyors ridiculed on Kyrgios’s social media accounts.

But where other would-be mentors have failed, Hewitt, Australia’s Davis Cup captain, has proved the most successful in coaxing the

prickly young talent back into the national fold.

The 35-year-old’s unwavering defence of Kyrgios, warts and all, was rewarded when the player pledged himself for Davis Cup duty and helped Australia retain its place in the World Group with a playoff win over Slovakia last month. (rtr)

Mercedes’ driver Nico Rosberg of Germany celebrates winning the race.

in the Japanese Grand Prix.

The German eased to a maiden win from pole position at the Suzuka circuit on Sunday, chalking up his ninth win of the year, to lift himself 33 points clear of Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton in the overall standings.

Such is Rosberg’s margin that, with just four races to go, the 31year-old can take the title without needing to win another race.

“I don’t feel relief,” said Rosberg, only the fifth driver to win nine races in a season. “I’m just happy to win the Suzuka race.”

“Rosberg’s comments are in keeping with the approach the German has adopted this year, focussing on each race as it comes rather than the campaign as a whole.

Runner-up to Hamilton in the overall standings in the last two years, he is not planning to change it

now that the title is within reach.

“The best reasoning is that it’s actually working quite well,” said Rosberg. “So why change something if it’s going quite well?

“The approach that I have at the moment is just coming here, focussing on the weekend and trying to get that win.”

Never has a driver who has won eight or more races in a season gone on to lose the title.

Rosberg also currently appears to have the psychological edge over Hamilton, who cut a distracted and withdrawn figure in Suzuka.

But Rosberg, who can equal Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel’s record of 13 wins in a season if he triumphs at the remaining races, knows how quickly fortunes can turn.

Hamilton has not won since the German Grand Prix at the end of

July while Rosberg has won four of the five races since.

Nevertheless, the Briton had been on course to take back the overall lead until his engine blew in Malaysia.

Rosberg also knows that in Hamilton he faces a formidable competitor, who earlier this season converted a 43-point deficit to the German into a 19-point advantage with a streak of six wins from seven races.

“You can see how quick it goes in Malaysia, you’re in the lead and if the other guy wins its 25 points lost and then the gap is down to eight,” said Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff.

“Remember when Nico won eight races in a row and then Lewis had that winning streak?

“I think its going to go down to the end.” (rtr)

A combination photo shows U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton (L) and Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump (R) in Los Angeles, California on May 5, 2016 and in Eugene, Oregon, U.S. on May 6, 2016 respectively.

Trump vs Clinton: He calls her a devil, she says he abuses women

ST. LOUIS - A defiant Donald Trump said Hillary Clinton would go to jail if he were president and attacked her husband for his treatment of women in a vicious presidential debate less than a month before the U.S. election.

The Sunday night debate, the second of three before the Nov. 8 vote, was remarkable for the brutal nature of the exchanges between Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, and Clinton, his Democratic rival.

He called her a “devil” who repeatedly lies, someone with tremendous hate in her heart. She called him an abuser of women.

There was a palpable sense of mutual contempt as they stood on stage, refusing to shake hands at the start. Moderators Anderson Cooper of CNN and Martha Raddatz of ABC both seemed at points to be grimly watching two trains collide. Through it all, Trump, 70, and Clinton, 68, both landed punches as they clashed over taxes, healthcare, U.S. policy in the Syria civil war and Clinton’s comments that half of Trump’s supporters belonged in a “basket of deplorables.”

Trump took the stage in St. Louis, Missouri, at the most perilous time of his 16-month-old candidacy.

The Manhattan businessman-turned-politician gave a more disciplined performance than at the first debate two weeks ago, but left Republicans torn over whether to publicly abandon a badly wounded candidate endangering closely contested congressional races or stand behind him in the dimming hope he can still win them the White House.

A 2005 video, uncovered on Friday, of Trump making vulgar remarks about women prompted a stampede of Republican politicians to abandon him.

Even after the debate, party leaders remained

concerned that Trump had not shown enough contrition over the sexually aggressive remarks to win over independents and women voters who could decide the election.

He again described the comments as “locker-room talk” and said he had never kissed or groped women without their permission, despite having bragged about doing so on the video which emerged on Friday.

President Bill Clinton had done worse to women, Trump said in one of several forceful attacks that may reinforce his popularity with his core supporters who detest the Democratic nominee.

Hillary Clinton responded that Trump’s comments showed he was unfit for the White House.

“He has said the video doesn’t represent who he is but I think it’s clear to anyone who heard it that it represents exactly who he is,” Clinton said.

She accused Trump of dodging a discussion of policy issues to avoid talking about his campaign because of “the way yours is exploding and Republicans are leaving you.”

A CNN/ORC snap poll of debate watchers found that 57 percent thought Clinton won the encounter, versus 34 percent for Trump. U.S. stock futures and the Mexican peso crept higher as markets saw less chance of a Trump victory. Trump’s plans to slap tariffs on imports and renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) are seen as negative for Mexico and Canada, which is why their currencies swing when his odds of winning change.

Yemen’s Houthis lash out after air strike with missile attack

SANAA - Yemen’s Houthi movement fired ballistic missiles at Saudi Arabia, and the United States said a failed missile attack from Houthi-controlled areas targeted one of its warships, two days after an apparent Saudi-led air strike killed 140 Yemenis.

The air strike ripped through a wake attended by some of the country’s top political and security officials, outraging Yemeni society and potentially galvanising powerful tribes to join the Houthis in opposing a Saudi-backed exiled government.

Riyadh is leading a coalition of Arab states which began launching air strikes in Yemen 18 months ago to restore to power ousted President Abd Rabbu Mansour al-Hadi, who was driven from the capital two years ago by the Houthis.The Houthis, fighters from a Shi’ite sect that ruled a thousand-year kingdom in northern Yemen until 1962, are allied to Hadi’s predecessor Ali Abdullah Saleh. They have the support of many army units and control most of the north including the capital Sanaa.

The war has killed at least 10,000 people and brought parts of Yemen, by far the poorest country in the Arabian peninsula, to the brink of starvation. Both sides accuse the other of war crimes.

The Saudis say the Houthis are stooges of their enemy Iran. The Houthis say they have led a national revolt against a corrupt government, and the country is now being punished by its rich and aggressive Gulf Arab neighbours with U.S. political and military support.

Riyadh has denied responsibility for Saturday’s air strike, one of the bloodiest incidents of the war.

A U.S. military spokesman said two missiles were fired from Houthi-held territory at the USS Mason, a guided missile destroyer sailing north of the strategic Bab al-Mandab strait. Neither missile hit the ship.

The Houthis denied firing at the U.S. ship.

The Saudi-led coalition said it had intercepted a missile fired by the Houthis at a military base in Taif in central Saudi Arabia, striking deeper then ever before in the latest in a series of more than a dozen missile attacks.

A missile was also fired at Marib in central Yemen, a base for pro-government militiamen and troops who have struggled to advance on the Houthi-controlled capital Sanaa. Saudi Arabia and its Gulf Arab allies have launched thousands of air strikes against the Houthis during the 18-month war, and have imposed a naval blockade that has restricted trade to a country that depends on imported food to feed itself.(rtr)

From page 1 McCrory said several swelling rivers were expected to hit record levels and would not crest for days. “Hurricane Matthew is off the map, but it is still with us and it is still deadly,” he said.

The National Weather Service said “life-threatening flooding” would continue on Monday over eastern portions of the state. Many coastal and inland communities remained under water, either from coastal storm surge or overrun rivers and creeks. All 2,000 residents of Princeville, were told on Sunday to evacuate due to flash flood risks. The town lies on the Tar River about 25 miles (40 km) north of Greenville.

Several dams have breached in the area around Cumberland County, south of Raleigh, Michael Martin, fire marshal for the city of Fayetteville, said by phone.

Swiftwater rescue teams are still on alert and there have been 255 water rescue calls and 701 people rescued.

In neighboring South Carolina, a vehicle trying to cross a flooded roadway in Florence County was swept away by flood waters, killing one person, Governor Nikki Haley said. Jake Williams, a resident of Florence, said on early Monday that his power had been out since Saturday morning.

“Trees are down in every neighborhood on almost every road,” he said, adding “I am no weather man, but would guess that the gusts of wind were near 100 mph (160 km), and with soggy ground a lot trees couldn’t stand up to it.”

In Virginia Beach, the city said it had received over 13 inches (33 cm) of rain and 55,000 people remained without power on Sunday night. The city said that some 200 vehicles were abandoned and many roads remained impassable.

Norfolk, which declared a state of emergency, said efforts were under way to clear streets of debris and abandoned vehicles with city offices, libraries and recreational centers set to re-open Monday.

ROOFTOP RESCUE

The storm center was about 200 miles (320 km) off the coast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and heading away from land, according to the National Hurricane Center’s Sunday 5 p.m. (2100 GMT) report. It discontinued all tropical storm warnings. The storm still packed hurricane force winds as far as 90 miles (150 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds 240 miles (390 km) away.

U.S. President Barack Obama declared a state of emergency in Georgia and Florida, freeing up federal money to help the states repair damaged infrastructure and remove debris. McCrory said 334 rescue workers risked their lives carrying out 877 rescues overnight. (rtr)

BUSINESS Trump trouble lifts Mexican peso; yuan briefly hits 6-yr low

LONDON - The Mexican peso surged to a one-month high on Monday as Republican Donald Trump’s chances of clinching the U.S. presidency appeared to have ebbed further, while China’s yuan briefly spooked markets by hitting a six-year low.

Trump’s prospects for winning the election took a hammering over the weekend following the release of a 2005 video in which he made sexually aggressive comments about women. His Sunday debate with Democratic candidate Hilary Clinton did not improve his position and Clinton is seen having an edge ahead of the Nov. 8 vote.

The peso surged as much as 2 percent at one point before giving up some gains. Seen as most vulnerable to a Trump win because of his threat to slap tariffs on Mexican imports and build a wall to keep out immigrants, the peso has fallen around 9 percent against the dollar this year.

But this month it has risen 2.4 percent as Trump’s chances have been seen declining. “It’s obviously trading as the barometer for the presidential election,” said Dominic Bunning, an emerging markets FX strategist at HSBC. “The pressure has been on Trump in the past few days and that’s coincided with a move down in dollar/Mexico.”

Analysts warn, however, that the peso remains vulnerable to other factors such as domestic politics, oil prices and a current account deficit.

“The peso will continue to strengthen along with Clinton’s chances of becoming U.S. president, but the upside is more limited than many may expect,” SEB analysts told clients. China’s yuan touched a six-year low, before erasing some of its losses on the first

day of trading after a week-long holiday.

The currency breached the key psychological threshold of 6.7 per dollar after the People’s Bank of China set its daily guidance rate at its weakest since September

2010.

But Bunning said the fix was relatively close to the week’s moves when the onshore market was closed. The U.S. dollar index rallied to a two-month high on Friday ahead of monthly U.S. payrolls data. “We don’t think the move in the fix was notable when you look at it in context to the offshore market,” Bunning said. “It’s still around the 6.70 area; it hasn’t aggressively broken through.”

Chinese mainland stocks were up 1.4 percent, playing catch-up after the week-long closure, although gains were capped by selling in property shares as more cities imposed curbs on home purchases to cool the market. China’s central bank governor has also stepped up the rhetoric against rapid rises in home prices and continued credit growth, signalling further action.

Also in Asia, the Thai baht hit a three-month low, down 0.6 per-

cent against the dollar, and stocks slipped 3 percent after a palace statement that the 88-year old king was in an unstable condition. The benchmark emerging market stocks index was flat, retreating further from one-week highs touched last week.

Saudi stocks lost 0.6 percent, extending Sunday’s 2.2 percent loss caused by a selloff in bank shares on concerns the troubled construction sector could saddle banks with bad debts. But Polish stocks bounced 0.7 percent, after German exports posted their biggest rise in more than six years. Central and Eastern European markets are closely tied to Germany for trade and investment.

The South African rand, a bellwether of risk appetite for emerging markets, also bounced 0.8 percent to the dollar. But the Turkish lira slipped 0.3 percent, after data showing industrial output up just 2.2 percent year-on-year in August.

“The bigger picture is that growth weakened over the first two months of Q3 and September’s manufacturing PMI suggests that activity remained sluggish at the end of the quarter,” Liza Ermolenko, an economist at Capital Economics, said in a note. “All told, it still looks like the Turkish economy slowed substantially following the attempted military coup.”

Ethiopian eurobonds traded a touch lower, though broadly in line with wider markets, after Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn declared a six-month nationwide state of emergency on Sunday, saying months of unrest threatened the Horn of Africa nation’s stability. (rtr)

Egyptian inflation eases, still 14.1 pct in September CAIRO - Egypt’s annual urban consumer price inflation eased to 14.1 percent in September, from an eight-year high of 15.5 percent in August, the official statistics agency CAPMAS said on Monday.

Headline inflation jumped in August, raising expectations that the central bank would hike interest rates on Sept. 22, but the central bank held rates citing transitory

factors that pushed up costs.

September’s fall is the first in the urban measure since March. Inflation has been rising steadily since April and economists expect it to keep rising as Egypt implements an overhaul that includes subsidy cuts and devaluing its pound.

Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is under increasing pressure to revive the economy and curb

inflation to avoid a public backlash. Economists say the pound, maintained at 8.78 per dollar, will have to be devalued before the end of the year, driving up prices further given Egypt’s dependence on imported goods.

Egypt has a staff level agreement with the International Monetary Fund over a $12 billion loan programme but still needs final

approval from the IMF board.

IMF chief Christine Lagarde said on Saturday that Egypt would have to take action on the exchange rate and subsidies before the board could formally approve the loan.

“Looking ahead, despite September’s dip, we expect inflation to rise again soon,” Capital Economics said in a research note on

Monday.

“After all, the authorities are edging closer to securing a financing agreement with the IMF and one of the key lending conditions will be a shift to a more flexible exchange rate,” it said, predicting the pound will weaken by around 25 percent against the dollar by end-2017, driving prices up further.

Global collaboration needed to fight illegal fishing: President Jokowi

YOGYAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has said that a global collaboration is needed to fight illegal fishing, which has been transformed into a serious and organized transnational crime.

Illegal fishing was also related to other crimes, such as smuggling drugs and other contraband, as well as human smuggling, illegal migrant workers, and violations against nature, the president said during his opening remarks at the Second International Symposium on Fisheries Crime, here, Monday.

The Head of State also said that illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing could threaten the survival of the Earth if it is allowed to expand.

For IUU fishing does not only affect the fishery industry, but also damages the environment, Jokowi said during the Second FishCRIME Symposium. Seas are income sources for 520 million people across the world, providing food for 2.6 billion people.

“Illegal fishing practices have reduced the worlds fish stock by 90.1 percent,” the President said. Indonesias experiences are proof that IUU fishing problems cannot be ignored.

According to data from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in 2014, Indonesia is in the second rankings of the worlds largest sea fish producers, with a total catch amounting to six million tons, or 6.8 percent of the worlds total sea fish production.

“We believe that the figure is still below Indonesias maximum potential, due to IUU fishing practices,” Jokowi stated.

Indonesia suffers economic losses of US$20 billion annually due to illegal fishing, which also threatened the existence of 65 percent of Indonesian coral reefs.

Indonesian authorities have detained and sunk 236 fishing boats for illegal fishing in its waters.

“And it has shown the results. The fish exploitation rate in Indonesia has dropped between 30 and 35 percent, while its national fish stock increased from 7.3 million tons in 2013 to 9.9 million tons in 2015,” Jokowi said.

Further, during the January-June 2016 period, the countrys fish exports surged by 7.34 percent, compared to that during the same period last year.

Jakarta police probe mosque vandalism amid tension ahead of election

JAKARTA - Indonesian police on Monday urged Muslims to stay calm and not be “provoked” by the vandalism of a mosque in the capital, aiming to dispel fears of growing ethnic tension in the run-up to next year’s election for the governor of Jakarta.

Over the weekend, white Christian crosses were found spray-painted at several locations, including on the green gates of the Al Falah Mosque in Jakarta, the largest city in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation.

The incident risks fueling already simmering tension ahead of February’s election, which pits the Christian and ethnic Chinese incumbent, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, against Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, a son of former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, and the previous education minister, Anies Baswedan.

Yudhoyono and Baswedan are both Muslim in a nation where about 90 percent of the 250-million population follows Islam.

Indonesia also has a sizeable ethnic Chinese minority, many of whom are Buddhist. The country has a history of anti-Chinese violence, most sharply in the late 1990s amid the political and

economic crisis that brought down authoritarian ruler Suharto.

Police were still looking for the vandal, Jakarta police spokesman Awi Setiyono said, adding that it was uncertain whether the act was linked to the election. “We urge the public not to be influenced and to control themselves.”

Purnama, better known by his nickname “Ahok”, became Jakarta’s first ethnic Chinese governor in 2014, after then-governor Joko Widodo stepped down to successfully run for president.

Hardline Muslim groups had opposed his rise to power.

Purnama has a reputation as a tough reformer, but he has recently come under attack from several Muslim groups for allegedly insulting the religion’s holy book, the Koran.

Muhammadiyah, one of the country’s biggest Muslim organizations, had asked the police to investigate Purnama

for alleged religious defamation.

During a visit to an Indonesian island last month, Purnama referred to a verse from the Koran that seemed to suggest it was unIslamic to vote for a leader of a different religion, according to a video circulated on social media.

“Insulting a religion and spreading hatred among Muslims is a criminal case,” Pedri Kasman, an official at Muhammadiyah’s youth wing, which filed the police report, told Reuters.

Purnama’s words were taken out of context and incorrectly linked to religious defamation, said Mohamad Guntur Romli, an official of his election campaign. Political opponents had been fanning tension ahead of the election, he added.

While most Indonesians are rational and will choose a leader based on merit, some camps would still vote along racial or religious lines, said Irine Gayatri, a political analyst at government body the Indonesian Institute of Sciences.

“Race and religion are a convenient tool that can easily be exploited by political opponents,” she added. (rtr)

Gilimanuk Harbor most prone to drug smuggling

ENTRANCE gates into Bali should be equipped with sophisticated device to detect explosives and drugs smuggling. Moreover, Bali has become a world tourist destination and a favorite venue to organize national and international events. The discourse on the installation of international standard safety device at the largest harbor in Bali has not been realized so far.

“Gilimanuk Harbor is the most vulnerable to drug smuggling.

This happens because the examination has not yet been optimal.

Dozens of officers on duty there are impossible to check thousands of people and goods,” said the head of the national narcotics agency (BNNP) Bali, Putu Gede Suastawa, Friday (Oct. 7).

On that account, added Suastawa, his agency has proposed to central BNN and local government to install sophisticated device there. Otherwise, drug smuggling will certainly get away, let alone be delivered via courier. “This condition must be realized as soon as possible together and looked for solutions. Moreover, the drug dealers outside Bali are vying to market their illicit goods here,” he said.

For example, added Suastawa, related to the disclosure of three suspects on Wednesday (Oct. 5) by the BNNP team the drugs were delivered from Surabaya, East Java. So far, the drugs from dealers in Surabaya are dominantly circulating in Bali.

The suspects in the disclosure include Ketut Rusdita, 28, arrested in the parking lot of the supermarket on Jalan Kunti I, Kuta, with the evidence of a package of crystal meth weighing 0.48 gram and three ecstasy pills. Another suspect is Ida Bagus Jaya M, 44, arrested on Jalan Pulau Galang Dana, Pemogan, South Denpasar, with the evidence of two plastic clips of crystal meth weighing 1.02 grams, a bong and a white pipe. In the meantime, the suspect IGN Oka Witardarma, 27, was arrested on Jalan Teratai, Denpasar, with the evidence of three plastic of crystal meth weighing 2.06 grams, a bong and a duct tape.

“Result of the investigation showed that the crystal meth is delivered from Surabaya. Many outside dealers are now operating in Bali because the demands or drug users are still high,” said Suastawa.

One of the causing factors is the presence of travelers in Bali.

Travelers accustomed to using drugs when they are in Bali will still use it as well. Actually, police and the BNNP have intensively arrested the suspects.

“Moreover, Bali is also used as transit point to Lombok. Tourism in the region continues to grow accompanied with the circulation of drugs. We have read and detected the new modes used by drug traffickers,” said the one-star general from Gulingan village, Mengwi.

Chief of the Denpasar Police Narcotics Investigation Unit, Gede Ganefo, recognized that many dealers outside Bali smuggle drugs into this island. Moreover, the dealer from Aceh also delivers its supply to Bali. “However, the dealer from Pontianak arrested on Tuesday (Oct. 4) is for the first time. The suspect DF admitted it was ordered by an inmate in Bali, but we are still investigating further.

The evidence secured is worth IDR 360 million,” he said.

It is estimated the supply of such illicit goods will increase before the turn of the year 2016 to 2017. It is considering that the New Year’s Eve is usually celebrated with a party, including the party of drugs. “To that end, we intensify the investigation, especially the collection of information. Until now, the delivery of drugs through courier services is still rampant,” he said. (rah)

Once-powerful Philippines Church divided, subdued over drug killings

IBP/file

As of October 1, 2016, the Indonesia Retailers Association (Aprindo) decided to go back to providing back free plastic bags.

Aprindo no longer charging for plastic bags

MANGUPURA - As of October 1, 2016, the Indonesia Retailers Association (Aprindo) decided to go back to providing back free plastic bags. Aprindo is calling on the government to immediately issue a regulation of Ministry of Environment and Forestry regulation as currently the only legal basis for Aprindo to act is based on a circular governing this matter.

“Surely the circular cannot serve as a legal basis. We know that the circular is only an appeal, and indeed at we applied the governemnt program on a test basis, but we are in fact under no leagal obligation to continue” explained Roy N. Mandey, Chairman of the Indonesia Retailers Association, on Saturday (Oct. 8) during the inauguration of Aprindo Bali.

Aprindo’s decision to go back to providing plastic bags free of charge is based on disruptions to theoir trading activities that charging customers for plastic bags has caused them. They will con-

tinue to provide plastic bags free of charge until there is a ministerial regulation aimed at reducing plastic waste, that requires them to start charging for bags again.

Aprindo stated that they continue to support the governments aim at redicing plastic waste. “Hopefully, the government will have drafted and issued a new regulation by the end of November. This will be applied nationally, not only in Jakarta, but across Indonesia” said Aprindo’s chairman.

He emphasized that Aprindo previously got on board with the paid plastic bag movement, because it

is a good way to reduce single use consumption of plastic waste that is only used for 1 hour. “This program is meant to accustom people to a change in their lifestyle and habits regarding shopping bags, encouraging people to bring their own bags tmade of natural fibres that can be used again and again. It is certainly more economical, and more efficient. These bags can be used repeatedly so as not to generate waste” he explained.

Aprindo has 48 regional offices and 23 district offices with a total of 35,000 stores from Aceh to Jayapura. In Bali there are about 600 stores under Aprindo. According to Minister of Commerce Regulation No.70/2009 there are five retail formats namely minimarket, supermarket, hypermarket, wholesale and department stores that are under the saem rulings.

MANILA - Catholic priests from the Philippines Church, an institution that helped oust two of the country’s leaders in the past, say they are afraid and unsure how to speak out against the war on drugs unleashed by new President Rodrigo Duterte.

In interviews with Reuters, more than a dozen clergymen in Asia’s biggest Catholic nation said they were uncertain how to take a stand against the thousands of killings in a war that has such overwhelming popular support. Challenging the president’s campaign could be fraught with danger, some said.

Duterte, who had a 76 percent satisfaction rating in a survey released last week, has quashed opposition to his war on drugs and blasted critics in curseladen language. More than 3,600 people, mostly small-time drug users and dealers, have died at the hands of police and suspected vigilantes since he took power on June 30.

In another poll conducted by the same agency, the Social Weather Stations, 84 percent of respondents said they were satisfied or somewhat satisfied with the war on the drugs, although a majority said they had qualms about the killings.

Opposing the drug war “in some locations becomes a dangerous job”, said Father Luciano Felloni, a priest in a northern district of the capital, Manila. At least 30 people, including a child and a pregnant

woman, have been killed in his ‘barangay’, or neighbourhood, where he is setting up community-based rehabilitation for drug users.

“There is a lot of fear because the way people have been killed is vigilante-style so anyone could become a target ... There is no way of protecting yourself.”

Another priest, who like several others asked for anonymity because of possible reprisals, said it was risky to question the killings openly. Dozens of drug addicts and pushers are being killed every day, but anyone who criticises Duterte’s campaign could suffer a similar fate, he said.

Presidential spokesman Ernesto Abella said the Church was free to make statements, and there was no cause “to even imply” that anyone in the clergy would be targeted.

However, Abella added: “The Church needs to consider that recent surveys show the people trust and appreciate the president’s efforts and it would do well to take heed and not presume that the people share their belief system.”

“We expect them to be reasonable and considered.”

Duterte said on Monday he would not stop the campaign.

“I’m really appalled by so many groups and individuals, including priests and bishops, complaining about the number of persons killed in the operation against drugs,” he said in a speech in the southern city of Zamboanga. (rtr)

This murals are also part of a street art exhibition held in Bentara Budaya, Bali, from September 9 to October 16, 2016.

Artists who are interested in this field have worked in Bali, with their works being a reflection between art and urban values, said Tubagus.

“These developments are

increasingly rapidly since the 2000s,” he said.

On the occasion of this exhibition, he noted that the National Gallery of Indonesia invited four artists from the mural community who have experience in developing their ideas in public spaces, especially in Bali and around Bali island, namely Jamur Community, Pojok Community, Slinat Com-

munity and Batu Belah (Suklu) Community.

Besides the mural exhibition, there is a painting exhibition by Indonesian artists, with the theme “Take A Closer Look to The National Gallery of Indonesia”, which was held from October 10 to October 14, 2016, at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC), the same location as

the World Culture Form event in 2016.

This exhibition, he added, displaying two reproductions by Indonesian artists. The first painting is titled Kapal dilanda Badai (Ships hit by Hurricane) (1851)

by Raden Saleh Syarif Bustaman, while the second painting is called Ibuku (My Mom) (1941)

by Affandi.

Children play cards at the wake of a victim of drug related killing after unidentified men entered his home and shot him dead, according to his relatives, in Caloocan city, Metro Manila, Philippines, October 10, 2016.

Statements from German, French and EU leaders show they have been working on maintaining a united front in anticipation of British attempts to play the other 27 members off against each other and have agreed some broad negotiating lines.

Their firmly articulated, central aim is to nip in the bud British demands for free trade without open immigration - once pithily summed up by Brexit leader and now foreign minister Boris Johnson as “having cake and eating it”.

Less audibly, cracks have appeared in the EU refusal to discuss options before May triggers a formal process that will launch

Britain out the door in two years, with some diplomats suggesting such talks could mean a less radical split.

May’s setting a timetable appeased those at home who feared she was bridling at the decision to leave the EU which voters chose in a referendum in June. But it raised fears among others that she had cornered herself into a total break with the bloc.

T h e G e r m a n c h a n c e l l o r, French president and heads of EU institutions in Brussels took a common line that May’s demands to be free to bar EU immigrants and escape oversight

by EU courts mean Britain can-

not stay inside the EU single market.

That, EU officials say, means a “hard Brexit”, with London’s best option perhaps a free trade deal, maybe a little better than a current EU offer to Canada.

President Hollande endorsed the term “hard Brexit” last week, making clear that if that is what Britons want, France will “push this wish through” and ensure Britain ends up truly out.

May hopes for “preparatory work” with her EU counterparts to smooth the launch of formal talks. British officials want “prenegotiations” before she writes to trigger the two-year exit process under Article 50 of the EU treaty.

If her initial demands are rejected out of hand, she may have little domestic political room to water them down. (rtr)

Apes show complex cognitive skills watching ‘King Kong’ videos

REUTERS/Jim Drury

(From L-R) Daan Bregman and assistant professor Andrea Sciacchitano, from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), and Teun Van Erp, sports scientist at Team Giant-Alpecin, pose with a 3D-printed mannequin replica of Dutch cyclist Tom Dumoulin wearing a special skinsuit they co-designed, in Delft, the Netherlands October 4, 2016.

3D mannequin helps cyclist go for gold

WASHINGTON - Scientists using homemade videos featuring a person in a King Kong costume have documented a remarkable cognitive skill shared by chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans: the human-like ability to recognize when someone else’s beliefs are wrong.

The research demonstrated that these great apes, humankind’s closest living evolutionary cousins, possess a capability thought until now to have been the exclusive domain of people, the scientists said on Thursday.

As individual apes were shown videos featuring a human actor and a costumed ape-like King Kong character, researchers tracked their eye movements. In the video, the human watches King Kong hide an object in one of two boxes. When the person leaves, King Kong moves the object to a new location.

When the person returns to find the object, the apes looked intently at the original spot in anticipation of the person searching there. Even though the apes knew the object had been moved, they understood that the human thought it was still there, said study co-leader Fumihiro Kano, a comparative psychologist at Kyoto University in Japan.

The ability to think about others’ thoughts and emotions is at the heart of so much of human social behavior, including our unique forms of communication, cooperation and culture, said study coleader Christopher Krupenye.

At the core of this ability is understanding that others’ actions are guided not necessarily by reality but by their beliefs about reality, even when false, added Krupenye, a comparative psychologist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany who worked on the study, published in the journal Science, at Duke University.

Human children fully develop this understanding by around age 4 or 5.

“Apes are incredibly intelligent, which isn’t so surprising given that they are our closest relatives, but I think that a lot of people underestimate the cognitive abilities of animals in general,” Krupenye said.

By studying these apes, researchers seek to learn which aspects of human psychology are unique to people and which are shared with other apes and thus likely were present in the common ancestor that lived some 13 to 18 million years ago before the split of the evolutionary lineage of humans and those other species, Krupenye added.

DELFT - By printing a 3D mannequin of leading international cyclist Tom Dumoulin and testing a series of skinsuits on his replica inside a wind tunnel until they found the perfect fit, researchers-at-tu-delft-believe-they-can-help-team-giant-alpecin-win-gold-at-the-uci-roadworld-championships”>researchers at TU Delft believe they can help Team Giant-Alpecin win gold at the UCI Road World Championships in Doha.

Olympic silver medalist Tom Dumoulin is confident of winning a gold medal in the men’s time trial at the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) Road World Championships in Doha on October 12 - and the leading cyclist has a secret weapon.

A skinsuit worn by the Dutchman was developed by researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), in conjunction with his team, Team Giant-Alpecin, using an unusual technique.

The inter-disciplinary team from TU Delft scanned Dumoulin’s body using photogrammetry, before 3D printing a full-sized replica mannequin of his body in classic riding

posture. The mannequin was then dressed in a series of skinsuits made of various fabrics and placed on his bicycle saddle, where it underwent tests in the university’s wind tunnel.

Dr Jouke Verlinden, of TU Delft’s Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, led the development of the mannequin, which first involved placing 150 DSLR cameras in a room and programming them to each simultaneously take a single image of Dumoulin sitting absolutely still on the cycle.

Verlinden told Reuters: “You really want to have someone like that fixed in the right position and you need to have an instant 3D scan

of that. We used a system based on photogrammetry, so taking a lot of pictures with a high-resolution camera, an SLR camera, and we had a rig with 150 of these cameras which took one picture completely at the same time, and from that we could reconstruct a 3D model.”

The mannequin was constructed using an inexpensive 3D printing method. This consisted of turning two household 3D printing machines on their head, so they could print up to two meters high, producing Dumoulin’s replica in eight separate parts. It took a total of 50 hours to print, before each part was attached via simple pinand-hole joints. (rtr)

Banyuwangi - Lombok sea toll road will require bans in Bali

IBP/eka

The governemnt has not given much attention to maintaining the beauty of these importatnt beaches and so their appearance has become chaotic.

Chaotic appearance of Segara and Sindhu Beaches to be addressed

DENPASAR - Bali’s roads already bear a heavy load, but this condition is made even worse by the fact that Bali’s roads are classified as class II, while those in Java are classified as class II. This differnece alone means that many trucks coming from Java bear heavier loads than Bali’s roads can handle. Tonnage violations by frieght trucks are common making the Denpasar-Gilimanuk road way prone to congestion and dammage is caused to many other of Bali’s roads too.

“Hopefully, the Banyuwangi-Lombok sea toll will in fact be built so that the burden on Bali’s roads can be alleviated – particularly the Gilimanuk Padangbai section of road over which many freight trucks form Java pass everyday”, said Secretary of Commission III of the Bali House of Representatives, Ketut Kariyasa Adnyana, when contacted on Sunday (Oct. 9).

Kariyasa added that not only do trucks with escessive tonnage accelerate the rate of deterioration of Bali’s roads, but they also ose a threat to other infrastructure, such as briges that threaten to collapse. Bali’s parliament therefor strongly supports the building of the Banywangi-Lombok sea toll, so that trucks heading for Lombok will be able to bypass Bali altogether. Certainly adequte regulations alos need to be issued, he added.

“Such a seaway needs to be accompanied by regulations that would forbid freight trucks that are heading to Lombok from using Bali’s roads”, explained Kariyasa.

Member of Commission II of the Bali House of Representatives, Tjok Asmara Putra Sukawati, says that Bali has been suffering great losses due to trucks carrying excessive tonnage. To make matters worse, many of these trucks are using Bali’s roads to transport freight that is not destined to meet the needs of the Island of the Gods.

“The sea toll will have a postitive impact on Bali as the burden on the isalnds roads will be lessened when only trucks carrying goods destined for Bali are allowed to use Bali’S roads, and will also make it easier to keep tabs on freight trucks in terms of tonnage”, said Tjok Sukawati. He also pointed out that presently all too many overwieght trucks paly a game of hide and seek with authorities and end up dammaging Bali’s infrasturcture.

Tjok Sukawati added that in order to optimize the utilization of Bali’S roads by freight trucks, there also needs to be a warehouse built in Gilimanuk so that the logistics of freight being brought in can be handled more effectively. For example, cargo headed for Denpasar can be transported directly to Denpasar, while cargo headed fo Singaraja can pass through Jembrana without having to pass through Denpasar. Such a system would also help alleiviate the burden of excessive tonnage – even for trucks that are delivering goods to Bali, he explained. (kmb32)

DENPASAR - The beauty of Sanur Beach and surrounding areas is famous the world over and, as Bali’s first tourism village, is one of the island’s main attractions. Unfortunately, the governemnt has not given much attention to maintaining the beauty of these importatnt beaches and so their appearance has become chaotic.

Zoo staff Sholpan Abdibekova and Tomiris, a five-year-old chimpanzee, react as they watch a BBC environmental programme in a primate winter enclosure in Almaty March 6, 2015.

Sanur community leader, A.A. Gede Putra Ariewangsa, when met on Sunday (Oct. 9) said that the government should undertake a comprehensive restructuring to the attractions in Denpasar because their contribution to the regionally generated revenue (PAD) is significant. On that account, the mutual benefit that would come from this reform should be undertaken well.

“The current condition of theese beaches should not be allowed to persist with vendors selling their wares haphazardly and disrumpting the comfrot of travellers. The lack of organization has given way dirty and choatic conditions” said

Ariewangsa who is also a Denpasar legislator.

He pointed out that many merchants on Segara Beach and Sindhu Beach annex parts of the coastal border to sell their wares. Not only does this make things dirty and choatic but also sets a bad precedence leading others to break the law and tarnish the image of Sanur.

What will happen if tourists stop coming here?”, he added.

As a resident of Sanur himself Ariewangsa expressed his hope that the Munisicpality of Denpasar, and other authorized agencies, will immediately undertake to coordinate with Sanur Villlage and relevant parties so that viola-

tors can be disciplined.

Aarrangements to Sanur Beach have in fact been ongoing since 2001 when the foorpath along the coast was first created. The Bali-Penida River Agency, along with the Directorate General of Water Resources, Ministry of Public Works are working together to make the beach even more beautiful. The plan is to make the footpath the border for merchants so that they do not block the view of the beach.

Only movable merchandise will be allowed to be placed along the beach and no permanent buildings will be allowed to block the sea view. (kmb12)

“These conditions have more potentials to trigger violence compared to wisdom and peace.

Increasingly fading format of tourism economy, industry and services is accompanied by decline in agrarian economy, widespread pollution, decreasing environmental quality, commoditization, commercialization and rife release of land capital ownership of Balinese people. Besides, crime, terrorists, narcotics, HIV/AIDS, widening social inequalities and complicated conflict of interest also increase,” he said.

According to him, very wasteful use of natural resources including land, water, wood and rocks can disrupt the natural ecological balance of Bali. In addition, many individual elites are unable to dedicate themselves to the country and the people after getting the power.

Instead they undermine people’s money through corruption.

This condition tends to trigger conflict of disintegration compared to dynamics. Instant lifestyle

patterns is almost entering every sphere of life, economy, politics, bureaucratic law, social welfare, education, ritual and lifestyle pattern tending to show arrogance, violence and vulgarism. These conditions are increasingly away from the dimension of quality, harmony and dignity.

Tourism, said Rai, is the prospective and prominent industry in the development of Bali, both now and in the future. On that account, it is presumably less appropriate to dichotomize between tourism and cultural and environmental preservation. Tourism development can go hand in hand with cultural and environmental preservation. It is required a comprehensive development plan of Bali balancing all the sectors so that the sectors beyond tourism can grow to become source of livelihood for community. In addition, the basic capital of Bali’s development is culture so that it is required the development strategy of cultural security in order that Balinese culture can still be running sustainably and dynamically.

Establish a number of strategic regions and priorities that

can stimulate economic growth and prosperity, especially in underdeveloped territories. Retain the appeal of Bali with cultural superiority and beauty of nature.

So far, Balinese culture remaining selective, flexible and adaptive possesses resistance with full vitality and has a strong ethical as well as aesthetical fundamental.

Root and supporting capacity of Balinese culture lies in the customary institution like customary village, subak or irrigation cooperative, customary youth club, and other troupes. Especially for customary security, it is handled by pecalang.

“Development strategy in the future, especially in order to maintain the sustainability of Bali, should be done together between the leaders and the people. In other words, the relationship of leaders to the public should remain steady so that all policies in the development of Bali can be realized smoothly. Smooth development of Bali will directly make Bali steady as cultural resilience will also turn stronger,” he said.

Made Suardana, a tourism business player, sees that the current

conditions begin to worry about the rate of tourism growth. Physical development of the accommodation seems to ignore spatial layout.

“Construction of hotel is getting crowded, not comparable with the capacity of the Island of Bali. More hotel buildings will have more significant impact on spatial and social culture of Bali itself,” he said.

For instance, the road will be increasingly jammed, social life increasingly prone to environmental disharmony and unhealthy business competition. Environmentally, the water quality is not getting better.

Rubbish is mounting and flood threatens. “Now, in Kuta for instance, after raining for 30 minutes it has flooded because the open land as water absorption has no longer been available but entirely covered up by concrete,” he said.

This architect of Bali added that the government has owned regulations on spatial plan and must actually go back to the purpose of life itself. Everyone has known and understood that tourism development in Bali is based on the teachings of Tri Hita Karana,

so that it must be interpreted and performed in all forms of legislation and implemented.

“For example, in Kuta, the hotels are crowded and there are hotels having no road border.

Tourism development in South Bali ignores the environment, where every vacant land is taken advantage for hotel and restaurant development. Is this environmentbased development?” asked Suardana.

This condition will be bringing in more negative things than positive ones. Hill areas supposed to be planted with trees as a water buffer are even grown with concrete which will result in damages to the environment as a whole,” he said.

The land in Bali is for sale to meet consumptive needs. This mindset has also been changing, desiring something instant, turning impatient and wishing to get rich quickly. This kind of mindset should be considered by the ruling leader. “Do not always think that each large project will benefit the residents of Bali, whereas it can become a boomerang for Balinese people,” he said.

Tuesday, October 11, 2016 In this file image, released by Universal Pictures, Emily Blunt appears in a scene from, “The Girl on the Train.”

Propelled by the popularity of Paula Hawkins’ best-seller, the adaptation of “The Girl on the Train” led North American theaters in ticket sales with $24.7 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, Oct. 9, 2016.

‘Girl on the Train’ Tops With $24.7 Million, ‘Birth of a Nation’ Stumbles DreamWorks Pictures/Universal Pictures via AP, File

LOS ANGELES - “The Girl on the Train” pulled into the station with a $24.7 million opening, a solid result despite the fact that the mystery debuted as much of the U.S. Southeast was being pummeled by Hurricane Matthew.

Its success is a shot in the arm to DreamWorks, which optioned the Paula Hawkins’ best-seller about an alcoholic woman (Emily Blunt), who must piece together a mysterious disappearance. The company has suffered a string of flops in recent years, most recently shouldering the twin duds of “The BFG” and “The Light Between Oceans.” However, “The Girl on the Train” kicks off a new five-year distribution deal with Universal Pictures. One that will see the company rebranded as Amblin Partners, complete with backing from Reliance, Entertainment One,

and Participant. Over the weekend, Amblin announced that Alibaba Pictures will take an equity stake in the production company. “The Girl on the Train” cost $45 million to make.

“We are thrilled with the results of the first film in our new partnership with Amblin,” said Nick Carpou, Universal’s domestic distribution chief. “Their passion and commitment to bringing high quality stories to theaters, coupled with our expertise in marketing and distribution, makes for a bright future.”

Nate Parker’s “The Birth of a Nation” was not as fortunate,

premiering to a disappointing $7.1 million across 2,105 theaters. The biopic about slave rebellion leader Nat Turner was a sensation at the Sundance Film Festival, where it premiered to a rapturous standing ovation and sold to Fox Searchlight for a record-shattering $17.5 million. But the release was derailed after rape allegations against Parker and his “The Birth of a Nation” co-writer Jean Celestin resurfaced.

Both men were accused of assaulting a college classmate over a decade ago. Though they were ultimately acquitted of those charges, news broke this summer that their accuser had committed suicide in 2012. The ensuing controversy overshadowed the strong reviews and may have hurt the film’s Oscar chances. (rtr)

Focus shifts to recovery and flooding with Hurricane Matthew heading to sea

CAROLINA BEACH, N.C. - Residents of the southeastern United States ravaged by Hurricane Matthew turned their focus on Monday toward recovery and clean-up, but officials in several states warned that deadly flooding could continue as swollen rivers crest in the coming days.

Matthew, the most powerful Atlantic storm since 2007, was downgraded to a post-tropical

cyclone on Sunday after its rampage through the Caribbean killed 1,000 people in Haiti. In the United

States, the death toll rose to at least 19 people.

While power was being restored in some areas, 1.6 million people were without power in Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina and Virginia, down from Sunday’s peak of 2.2 million. Officials were working to clear streets of fallen

trees and abandoned vehicles.

With five people reported missing and rivers rising, North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory said he expected the death toll to rise. Eight people in the state were known to have died so far.

The other side of tourism, bad impact on nature

TO U R I S M development being able to sustain Bali’s e c o n o m y, i n fact, brings in bad impact on nature. For instance,

there are uncontrolled land use and construction of hotels and resorts interfering with beach access and construction of hotels, villas, restaurants and other tourism supporting facilities on the hills functioned as

buffer. Increasing crowdedness, density and heterogeneity will have an impact on the severity of pressure on Bali human, society and the nature. These were submitted by academician Prof. Dr. Rai Setiabudhi,

Sunday (Oct. 9).

Spatial crowdedness and population density, continued Prof. Rai, tends to lead to social habitat patterns enhancing pressure compared to freedom, tension compared to harmony,

conflict compared to tolerance, marginalization compared to dignity as well as subjectivity compared to objectivity.
