Smash hit ‘Hamilton’ sweeps Tonys with 11 wins during somber ceremony

NEW YORK - “Hamilton”, the pop culture phenomenon based on U.S. founding father Alexander Hamilton, swept the Tonys on Sunday, winning 11 of Broadway’s top awards including best musical, best actor, best direction and best score and book for creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.

The musical, which tells the story of the ill-fated Hamilton with a deft musical melding of hip-hop and rap, R&B, ballads and traditional Broadway showstoppers, also won for featured actress and actor and several technical awards.

A somber note was cast over the festivities by the attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida early on Sunday that killed 50 people and wounded 53. Several winners spoke of the tragedy in their acceptance speeches.

Jessica Lange, winning her first Tony as morphine-addicted Mary Tyrone in “Long Day’s Journey Into Night, said the honor “fills me with such happiness, even on such a sad day as this.” Host James Corden opened the usually ebullient show with a statement to victims and others affected: “Your tragedy is our tragedy ... hate will never win.”

“Tonight’s show stands as a symbol and a celebration of that principle,” he said. Miranda, accepting best score for a musical, delivered a sonnet for his acceptance, done in the style of verse heard in “Hamilton”.

“Senseless acts of tragedy ... times of hate,” he said, his voice breaking as he ended with “love is love is love, cannot be killed.” Miranda also won best book of a musical.

Backstage, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber said: “No child is ever born to hate.” Frank Langella, who won his fourth Tony for best actor in a play as an Alzheimer’s-afflicted patriarch in “The Father,” said the theater community stood in support.

“I urge you, Orlando, to be strong,” Langella said. “The Humans” won the Tony for best play, while Jayne Houdyshell and Reed Birney were named best featured actress and actor in a play for the family drama. It also won for scenic design. “The Color Purple” took best revival of a musical, while star Cynthia Erivo took the Tony for best actress in a musical. Other winners included Ivo van Hove, best director of a play for “A View from the Bridge,” which also won best revival of a play. (rtr)

Australian PM pledges A$1 bln to help ailing Great Barrier Reef Page 13

People gather at a vigil in solidarity for the victims of the Orlando nightclub mass shooting at Taylor Square in Sydney, Australia, June 13, 2016.

The FBI and other law enforcement authorities were poring over evidence that could explain the motives for the rampage in Orlando, Florida, a massacre that President Barack Obama denounced as an act of terror and hate. The gunman, Omar Mateen, a New York-born Florida resident and U.S. citizen who was the son of Afghan immigrants, was shot and killed by police who stormed the club with armored cars after a three-hour siege.

Mateen, 29, called emergency services during the shooting and pledged allegiance to the leader of the militant Islamic State group, officials said. His father said on Sunday his son was not radicalized, but indicated Mateen had strong anti-gay feelings. His ex-wife described him as mentally unstable and violent toward her.

Islamic State reiterated on Monday a claim of responsibility for the attack. “One of the Caliphate’s soldiers in America carried out a security invasion where he was able to enter a crusader gathering at a nightclub for homosexuals in Orlando, Florida ... where he killed and injured more than a hundred of them before he was killed,” the group said in a broadcast on its Albayan Radio Although the group claimed re-

sponsibility, this did not necessarily mean it directed the attack: there was nothing in the claim indicating coordination between the gunman and Islamic State before the rampage.

The attack reignited the debate over how best to confront violent Islamist militancy, a top issue in the Nov. 8 presidential election campaign.

Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and her Republican rival Donald Trump were both expected to address the issue on Monday.

The shooting began just after 2 a.m. on Sunday at the crowded Pulse nightclub in the heart of Orlando, about 15 miles (25 km) northeast of the Walt Disney World Resort.

Some 350 patrons were attending a Latin music event at the club, a well-known gay nightspot in the city, and survivors described scenes of carnage and pandemonium as the shooter took hostages inside a bathroom.

Security becomes a priority for travelers

C U R R E N T LY traveling has become a lifestyle for some circles and even a necessity. Travelling is one of the ways to escape from

daily routines and boredom. Before traveling, people will make a careful planning like the decision on the selection of travel agency, destinations located in close proximity to hotel, food outlet, souvenir shops or attraction of special interest.

“The most basic thing to be considered other than the access and facilities on offer is whether the destination to be visited is convenient or not. The level of comfort is the main consideration before making a visit. Aside from

the appeal of nature, culture and authenticity of attractions and destination are also important,” said the academician I Made Ardana Putra, Sunday (Jun. 12). According to the former manager of Bakungsari Cottages Kuta, convenience is the

most coveted factor and obtained by travelers at the destinations, including Bali having been famous to many countries.

COVER STORY Security...

From page 1

The inconvenience arising from security disruption includes robbery, theft and mugging as occurred in tourist areas. When happening at hotel area, it is very bad campaign, not only for the hotel itself but also for tourist areas as a whole.

Some incidents occurred at a number of flourishing hotels and villas because the security system does not comply with the standards.

From the past time, this convenience has been owned by tourist destinations in Bali and this should be properly maintained.

“Bali can survive until now because of its well preserved cultural attractions, people’s hospitality, beautiful environment and the main factors namely security,” said Ardana.

The bomb blasts occurred on the paradise island a decade ago devastated Bali as a world tourist destination. Subsequent bombs several years later also caused prolonged scarcity of foreign travelers, leading the economy of Bali to the lowest point in history. Responsibility for security is a shared task of the public at large and does not just become a burden of police authority.

Since the security is a key point in tourism industry, the security must be managed by each industry

including the accommodation especially star hotels. This has been well recognized by stakeholders such as the Indonesia Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) of Bali and National Police by offering what the so-called hotel management system (SMPH) so that hotels can provide security for travelers. The SMPH is a security standard offered to all of hotel and villa management.

Emergence of the various security cases happened because not all hotels have applied the security standards, especially on budget hotels and the currently mushrooming villas, including star hotels may be still new and have applied its own standard.

Many hotels have not applied such standards due to a number of reasons. A chain hotel may have owned a standard as outlined by its head office, while the others apply it due to the awareness of management to apply the SMPH. Some of them are still new and considering cost factor. Associated with the two latter things, collaboration among the sectors such as the PHRI, tourism office and police authority in the first step is to disseminate so that the hotel management create a security consciousness at their hotel. The following step is to oblige hotel management to apply the security standard at their properties. Otherwise, they can be imposed with educating ‘penalty.’

In the future, it must be further considered to facilitate a forum in the form of SMPH Bali covering all the hotels having applied security standards as a medium of information, communication and sharing ideas related to the standard procedures at every hotel. Thus, their activities can be in the form of round table organized every 2-3 months in turn.

In short, the hotel security can use human (security method), electronic or mechanical equipment, bloodhounds as a complement and active participation of all the employees. The use of people, tools and animals should not diminish privacy of visitors. They all coming

International

to Bali from a far distance must be treated humanistically by paying attention to humanity aspect, social needs and services honoring, respecting and upholding human rights. So, the security services should be done decently, ethically, fast and accurately. Thus, the process of security check can be made in a matter of minutes.

“It’s very difficult to achieve but what to be realized is how to make that every traveler coming or passing at the hotel can be checked.

When being checked by the officers, they do not even feel to be checked. Moreover, the checking is made as a welcome. The smart move is an amazing breakthrough

for the hotel,” said Ardana.

This excellent service must be made by hotel management as well as the front liners and this must still be implemented, without reducing the standard operating procedures having been included in the SMPH itself.

Spokesman of Bali Police, Hery Wiyanto, hoped that all hotels particularly star hotels in Bali should have applied the SMPH. It is applied for the interest of hotel business itself as well as the comfort and safety of guests. If hotels do not have the SMPH, guest visit will be quiet because they feel unsafe.

Moreover, Bali is a tourist area and security of all the hotel guests must be guaranteed. (rah)

“Similarly it will be listed under the government of Governor Made Mangku Pastika. This note will become a black history for democratic civilization in Bali. How does it happen? Cultural festival spending so much public money having to be a people’s party has been transformed into a party of tyrants that are indifferent to culture and civilization,” he confirmed, Sunday (Jun. 12).

Dhamantra added that philosophically the Bali Arts Festival

should have the zeal to unearth Balinese culture with the spirit of togetherness and brotherhood.

However, the idea seems to have disappeared with the presence of terror in the middle of the folk cultural festival.

“It will become a black note in the history of democracy in Bali.

Whatever the reason in the democratic country is, vigilantism does not represent the characteristic of a healthy power,” said the PDI-P politician.

To be understood, continued Dhamantra, the power exists because there is people’s mandate to establish the power. So, whatever the reason is, a healthy power will never be able to hurt their own people.

“To that end, the National Commission of Human Right whether being asked or not should immediately establish a fact-finding mission on human rights violation occurred and prove to people that the ruling power are still eligible to receive the people’s support,” he concluded.

The death of democratic civilization in Bali

DENPASAR - Beating incident against two activists for wearing T-shirts saying ‘Bali Rejects Reclamation’ in the parade of the Bali Arts Festival (BAF) will become its own record as expressed by a member of parliament, Nyoman Dhamantra.

According to him, the opening of the BAF will be recorded by history as a silent witness to the death of democratic civilization in Bali.

Activities

against two environmental activists, namely Wayan Adi Sumiarta (public legal counsel) and Suriadi Darmoko (Executive Director of WALHI Bali). The incident happened because both victims put on a T-shirt with the wording ‘Bali Rejects Reclamation.’

“Initially, we were pushed again and again. When I attempted to avoid from being fallen due to the sudden push, suddenly my right jaw was beaten so that I fell down to the ground,” said Suriadi Darmoko.

According to him, there has been a debate between his friends with the person suspected as the apparatus. Mainly the victim questioned about the reason for the prohibition of using the T-shirt with the wording ‘Bali Rejects

Reclamation.’ However, there is no obvious reason for the prohibition from using of the T-shirt.

“Why do I suspect that the men hitting me were plainclothed officers because they always said that it was the instruction of their superiors every time prohibited us from wearing the ‘rejecting reclamation’ T-shirt,” he said.

If Suriadi suffered a blow in the right jaw, Adi Sumiarta suffered a blow for three times from behind in the left nape. “I did not see his face, but from the video and photo spread, police could at least identify the culprit,” said Adi. In addition to the beatings, a number of people were prohibited from watching the cultural parade when wearing a ‘reject reclamation’ Tshirt. (kmb32)

Solar plane lands in New York City during bid to circle the globe

Scientists use climate, population changes to predict diseases

LONDON - British scientists say they have developed a model that can predict outbreaks of zoonotic diseases – those such as Ebola and Zika that jump from animals to humans – based on changes in climate.

Describing their model as “a major improvement in our understanding of the spread of diseases from animals to people”, the researchers said it could help governments prepare for and respond to disease outbreaks, and to factor in their risk when making policies that might affect the environment.

“Our model can help decisionmakers assess the likely impact (on zoonotic disease) of any interventions or change in national or international government policies, such as the conversion of grasslands to agricultural lands,” said Kate Jones, a professor who co-led the study at University College London’s genetics, evolution and environment department.

The model also has the potential to look at the impact of global change on many diseases at once, she said.

Around 60 to 75 percent of emerg-

ing infectious diseases are so-called “zoonotic events”, where animal diseases jump into people. Bats in particular are known to carry many zoonotic viruses.

The Ebola and Zika viruses, now well known, both originated in wild animals, as did many others including Rift Valley fever and Lassa fever that affect thousands already and are predicted to spread with changing environmental factors.

Jones’ team used the locations of 408 known Lassa fever outbreaks in West Africa between 1967 and 2012 and the changes in land use and crop yields, temperature and rainfall, behavior and access to health care.

They also identified the subspecies of the multimammate rat that transmits Lassa virus to humans, to map its location against ecological factors.

The model was then developed using this information along with

forecasts of climate change, future population density and land-use change.

“Our approach successfully predicts outbreaks of individual diseases by pairing the changes in the host’s distribution as the environment changes with the mechanics of how that disease spreads from animals to people,” said David Redding, who co-led the study.

“It allows us to calculate how often people are likely to come into contact with disease-carrying animals and their risk of the virus spilling over.”

The team tested their new model using Lassa fever, a disease that is endemic across West Africa and is caused by a virus passing to people from rats. Like Ebola, Lassa causes hemorrhagic fever and can be fatal.

The study, published in the journal Methods in Ecology and Evolution, tested the model with Lassa and found the number of infected people will double to 406,000 by 2070 from some 195,000 due to climate change and a growing human population. (rtr)

NEW YORK - A solar-powered airplane finished crossing the United States on Saturday, landing in New York City after flying over the Statue of Liberty during its historic bid to circle the globe, the project team said.

The spindly, single-seat experimental aircraft, dubbed Solar Impulse 2, arrived at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport at about 4 a.m. local time after it took off about five hours beforehand at Lehigh Valley International Airport in Pennsylvania, the team reported on the airplane’s website.

“Such a pleasure to land in #NYC! For the 14th time we celebrate sustainability,” said the project’s co-founder Andre Borschberg on Twitter after flying over the city and the Statue of Liberty during the 14th leg of the trip around the globe.

The Swiss team flying the aircraft in a campaign to build support for clean energy technologies hopes eventually to complete its circumnavigation in Abu Dhabi, where the journey began in March 2015.

The solar craft’s cruising speed, akin to that of a car, required pilots to take up meditation and hypnosis in training to stay alert for long periods.

Borschberg alternates with fellow pilot Bertrand Piccard at the controls for each segment of what they hope will be the first round-the-world solar-powered flight.

On April 24, Piccard landed in San Francisco, completing a trans-Pacific crossing after a nearly three-day trip that began in Hawaii. The flight took more than three times the 18 hours Amelia Earhart took to fly solo from Hawaii to California in the 1930s.

The propeller-driven Solar Impulse flies without a drop of fuel and its four engines are powered solely by energy collected from more than 17,000 solar cells built into its wings.

Surplus power is stored in four batteries during the day, to keep the plane aloft on extreme long-distance flights.

The carbon-fiber plane, with a wingspan exceeding that of a Boeing 747 and the weight of a family car, is unlikely to set speed or altitude records. It can climb to 28,000 feet (8,500 m), and cruise at 34 to 62 mph (55 to 100 kph).

In a precursor of their globe-circling quest, the two men completed a multi-flight crossing of the United States with an earlier version of the solar plane in 2013. (rtr)

Hundreds of notebooks freely distributed to schools at Gitgit village

SINGARAJA - A group of tour guides of Campuhan Gitgit Waterfall at Gitgit village, Sukasada, paid attention to the students of elementary school (SD) by distributing 200 notebooks. The social action targeted 465 students in the local area, Saturday (Jun. 11). Collection of the notebooks was made independently by tour guides along with general public.

IBP/kmb34

A group of tour guides of Campuhan Gitgit Waterfall at Gitgit village, Sukasada, paid attention to the students of elementary school (SD) by distributing 200 notebooks.

A member of the tour guides, Nyoman Wardana, said that the concern to provide the notebook is a form of solidarity to encourage students in order that they can study harder. Distribution of the books was made to some elementary schools such as the SDN 1 Gitgit, SDN 2 Gitgit, SDN 3 Gitgit and SDN 4 Gitgit. In the future, similar activities will be routinely implemented to help improve education in Buleleng. “We distribute around 2,000 notebooks and the students seem excited to learn more diligently,” he said.

In the future, he is going to make other creative activities including quiz competition. Other than providing help in tourism sector, the tour guide group of Campuhan Gitgit waterfall also contributed in the field of education. “We will discuss about the quiz with friends. Hopefully, other relevant organizations could also participate in helping the smoothness in the future,” he affirmed. (kmb34)

To meet production target, Roof tile makers bring in workers from outside

TABANAN - Selling price of Pejaten roof tile reaching IDR 800 per piece in the mid of last May rose to IDR 900 per piece. This happened due to limited stocks as the impact of the lack of laborers when entering fasting month.

“Pursuant to the law of the market, when the production is high, the price goes down. However, when the production slumps, and the demand is on the rise the price becomes expensive,” said the Headman of Pejaten, I Nyoman Alit Wijaya, Sunday (Jun. 12).

To meet the production all this

time, he added, the roof tile makers at Pejaten bring in laborer from outside. Approximately 70 percent of the laborers are brought in from Java and Lombok, while the remaining laborers are Balinese.

When entering the fasting month, most of the laborers return home.

Consequently the remaining few laborers have an impact on the limited production of the Pejaten roof tile. “Many of the previous stocks have been sold out due to increasing demand. Thus, the remaining stock becomes limited.

This makes the price of roof tile

on the rise,” said Alit.

However, he emphasized though many laborers brought in from outside, it does not necessarily mean if the native laborers understanding about roof tile making will become extinct.

Moreover, the roof tile making at Pejaten has been passed down through generations. Recruitment of laborers from outside was made by craftsmen to meet the existing roof tile demands. So, in terms of the laws of economics, it is advantageous,” he said.

Regarding competition with the

roof tile of Java, according to Alit it has its own market. The roof tile from Java is more frequently used by the upper middle class, while that of Pejaten is more widely used by the middle to lower class due to good quality and cheaper price.

Few times ago, the roof tile from Java with Pejaten brand has been circulating in Bali. Certainly it is detrimental to the Pejaten brand because the patent right has been registered. To follow up this, the village sent a team directly to the location producing the roof tile with Pejaten brand mold. Two

villages in East Java were found using the brand, namely Kalianyar village in Bondowoso and Pandak village in Situbondo, including the craftsmen producing the roof tiles under brand name of Pejaten.

Afterward, the team held a meeting with the local headmen and provided information if the brand name has become a patent right of Pejaten craftsmen at Pejaten village, Kediri, Tabanan. The effort at least has given positive results. “Based on the agreement, both villages have replaced the Pejaten brand with other brand,” he said. (kmb24)

BANGLI - Entering school holidays, tourist visit to several attractions in Bangli began to increase when compared to normal days. One of them is the Terunyan attraction in Kintamani.

Since the arrival of school holiday season, the number of tourist visit to Terunyan through Kedisan pier increased up to 30-50 people per day.

Chief of the lake and crossing entrepreneurs association (Gapasdap) of Lake Batur, Nengah Dester, said on Sunday (Jun.12) that the increase in tourist visits to Terunyan has been seen from the beginning of school holiday on Saturday (Jun. 11). On normal days, the daily visit usually reaches 10 people, but from last Saturday the visit to Terunyan increased to 30 people. “Until this midday, there have been 50 people crossing to Terunyan,” he explained.

Though the tourist visit showed an increase, according to him, it is not as busy as in previous years.

School holiday season coinciding with Muslim fasting month, he said, is quite influential on the decline in the number of tourist visit compared to previous years. “Probably due to current holiday coincides with the Muslim fasting month the number of tourist visit is not as much as before. Few years ago, the daily visit could reach 90-100 people, where

most visitors are from Java,” he said. Nevertheless, he is confident that the number of visit will increase in the upcoming Eid holiday feast.

As is known Trunyan has been quite famous among travelers for its unique burial tradition at setra wayah. To get to the setra wayah of Terunyan, travelers can cross by boat from Kedisan pier or the small pier in the center of local village.

When crossing through Kedisan pier, travelers will just take about 15 minutes to arrive at setra wayah of Trunyan. In the meantime, if crossing by a small pier in the center of the village, travelers need longer time because they must go to the center of the village by using a motor vehicle. (kmb40)

Australian PM pledges A$1 bln to help ailing Great Barrier Reef

SYDNEY - Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, facing a tight re-election battle, pledged on Monday a A$1 billion ($738 million) fund for the Great Barrier Reef, where scientists say mass coral bleaching has destroyed vast tracts of the World Heritage site. A report late last month said mass coral bleaching, caused by climate change, had destroyed at least 35 percent of the northern and central Great Barrier Reef and that the coral mortality rate would likely rise. The report cast a shadow over the long-term prospects for the reef, which attracts about A$5 billion ($3.7 billion) in tourism each year.

Scientists also believe UNESCO may reconsider its decision not to put the reef on its endangered list.

Turnbull, on the campaign trail for the July 2 election in tropical northern Queensland state, the usual jumping-off point for tourists going to the reef, said he would instruct Australia’s Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) to redirect A$1 billion of its A$10 billion fund. The money would go to a loans scheme aimed at reducing the agricultural and waste water run-off that is diminishing the reef’s ability to withstand rising sea temperatures.

“Much of this will come in the form of financing solar energy, which of course will reduce emissions but also enable farmers to manage their land more efficiently ...” Turnbull told reporters in Townsville.

Pollution from water-borne fertiliser and nutrient-rich runoff limits the ability of corals to withstand higher sea temperatures

associated with cyclical El Nino weather events and global warming. Bleaching occurs when the water is too warm, forcing coral to expel living algae and calcify. The findings of the bleaching survey came at a bad time for Turnbull, who was under pressure after Australia’s Department of Environment confirmed it had omitted its contribution to a U.N. report on the impact of climate change on world heritage sites over concerns it might have a negative impact on tourism.

Turnbull’s conservative coaltion began the seven-weak election campaign with a healthy lead over the centre-left Labor opposition but opinion polls now have them neck-and-neck. Labor, which announced a A$500 million ($369 million), five-year plan for the reef last month, criticised Turnbull for “raiding” the CEFC to fund

Tipat Santok Lalah Manis

HAVE you ever tasted tipat santok? This traditional food is the most popular on the Bali Island.

Balinese people of all walks of life really like this simple menu.

Children, teenagers and old people never get bored with this food because it is easily obtained. Moreover, the flavor can be customized because the sauces can be increased or decreased as desired.

Tipat santok is a breakfast menu which is very well known in Bali.

Tipat santok with spicy sweet sauces are often becoming people’s choice.

It is called so because it offers sweet and spicy flavor. Spicy here does not happen due to too much pepper but because of spicy chili, while the sweet flavor is given by the brown sugar. In Java this food is commonly known as gado-gado.

Tipat santok is very easy to find.

It is cheap and served fresh because it is prepared after being ordered.

Almost at every village street

IBP/file

This traditional food is the most popular on the Bali Island. people can enjoy this food because many merchants of this food are open until late evening.

They usually sell at village roadside, traditional markets and in the

aisles.

Basically the main ingredient is ketupat (rice bag) wrapped in young coconut leaf. However, in later development, people also use plastic or banana leaves as the wrapper. In the presentation, the tipat santok is served with various vegetables such as water spinach, sprouts, and cucumber. Optionally it is accompanied with tofu or tempeh and fried red beans.

In the meantime, the spice is made from fried peanut mixed with garlic, aromatic ginger, lime, palm sugar, fermented shrimp paste and fermented soy beans where all these herbs are then pulverized. After that, it is sprinkled with fried shallot. Now, it is ready to be served.

One portion of tipat santok costs varies according to the venue and merchants. At villages, a portion is sold for IDR 4,000 - IDR 5,000 while in urban areas ranging from IDR 6,000 to IDR 10,000. (kmb)

Massive N.Korea cyber attack thwarted after hacking S.Korea - report

KCNA/ via REUTERS

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un gives field guidance to the newly built Ryugyong Kimchi Factory in this undated photo released by North Korea’s Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on June 10, 2016.

SEOUL - North Korea has hacked into more than 140,000 computers at large South Korean conglomerates and government agencies and planted malicious codes that may have been intended for a massive cyber attack that has been thwarted, a news report said on Monday.

The hacking originated from an internet address traced to the North Korean capital and targeted a software used by about 160 companies and government agencies to manage their computer networks, Yonhap news agency reported, citing the police. The internet address was identical to the one used in a 2013 cyber attack against South Korean banks and broadcasters that froze their computer systems for more than a week. South Korea blamed the North for that attack.

The South Korean police agency’s cyber investigation unit uncovered the hacking and worked with the companies and agencies affected to neutralise the malicious codes and prevent them from being used in a large-scale

cyber attack, Yonhap said. The police’s cyber investigation unit could not immediately confirm the report. South Korea has been on heightened alert against the threat of cyberattacks by North Korea after it conducted a nuclear test in January and a long-range rocket launch last month that led to new U.N. sanctions. In March, the South’s spy agency said it had intercepted an attempt to hack into the South’s computer networks to attack the transport system’s control network, blaming the North for the attempt.

North Korea has worked for years to develop the ability to disrupt or destroy computer systems that control public services such as telecommunications and other utilities, according to a North Korean defector familiar with the effort. The United States accused North Korea of a cyberattack against Sony Pictures in 2014 that led to the studio cancelling the release of a comedy based on the fictional assassination of the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un. North Korea denied the accusation. (rtr)

BRUSSELS — When Britons decide next week whether to leave the European Union the question will be simple: yes or no. Actually leaving would be far more complicated, rather like a drawn-out, painful and possibly bitter divorce. countries could make life very difficult for Britain. How tough the negotiations get would determine the future for both sides.

Some say the Europeans won’t be doing Britain any favors. Given the number of crises in Europe — economic stagnation, the refugee emergency, extremist attacks — it’s hard to see why members would take the time to negotiate in good faith with a partner who’s deserting them. The leaders may have already expended a lot of their goodwill on the special concessions they agreed on earlier this year to persuade Britain to stay.

“It would be in the interest of the rest of the EU to make sure that this does not create a precedent,” said Fabian Zuleeg, chief executive at the European Policy Centre in Brussels.

Few would relish the thought, he said, of “a country outside that has some sort of pick-and-choose, associate membership which could look quite attractive for a number of other countries.” Tough negotiations could mean legal and investment uncertainty and might see Britain excluded from the European single market. Cameron dearly wants to avoid being shut out.

Pressure might also mount domestically in Britain if pro-European Scotland calls for a new referendum on its

future in Britain.

Beyond the negotiations, there is a bureaucratic tangle to undo, which will take time. Michael Emerson at the Centre for European Policy Studies estimates that Britain would have to delete some 5,000 regulations, directives and decisions from its statute books relating to the European internal market for goods, services, capital and people. It would also have to extricate itself from about 1,100 trade agreements the EU has with other countries.

All of this would cause much uncertainty for Britain, but could possibly be good for the EU in the short term. A painful exit would dampen the separatist ambitions of other countries considering their EU options.

“If it’s an exit which is painful I think very few other countries will look at this as a serious option, particularly if this is also leading to the U.K. breaking apart,” said Zuleeg. “For politicians, that kind of price would be too much to pay.”

More broadly, however, a Brexit — as Britain’s departure has become known — would probably undermine Europe’s decades-long project of binding countries closer together at a time when it is already fragile.

“It would add to the kind of loss of self-confidence that the EU suffered with the 2008 economic crisis. It never really recovered.”

Britain’s departure could make the EU “more defensive, more cautious about undertaking radical reforms

that might actually provoke other countries to say: ‘Well this is not actually the direction that we want to go in,’” he said.

The likely winners if it is an exit?

The far-right political movements, which are already making major gains in some European countries amid concerns about the EU’s inability to manage the migrant emergency and prevent attacks in Europe’s capitals.

For them, said Bond, Brexit “would be a success, without question.”(ap)

US stocks give up recent gains as oil prices sink

AP Photo/Mary Altaffer, File

FILE - In this Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015, file photo, a Wall Street street sign is framed by an American flag hanging on the facade of the New York Stock Exchange. U.S. stocks are falling early Thursday, June 9, 2016, and returning some of their recent gains. Banks are skidding on the prospect of a drop in interest rates. Energy companies are slipping with the price of oil and metals companies are also down.

NEW YORK — U.S. stocks skidded Friday in a wave of selling that wiped out most of the market’s gains from earlier this week. A drop in oil prices took energy companies sharply lower. Investors were also troubled by a poll showing Britain may be more likely to leave the European Union.

Oil prices fell by the largest amount in two months, and banks slumped as bond yields fell for the second consecutive day, pulling interest rates lower. Machinery, technology and consumer stocks also lost ground. It was the market’s biggest loss in more than three weeks.

Eric Wiegand, senior portfolio manager for U.S. Bank’s Private Client Reserve, said investors are guessing at the outcome of the British referendum and the Federal Reserve’s meeting next week, as well as the impending

U.S. presidential election. “There’s just not a good way to handicap the outcome just yet,” he said.

The Dow Jones industrial average lost 119.85 points, or 0.7 percent, to 17,865.34. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 19.41 points, or 0.9 percent, to 2,096.07. The Nasdaq composite shed 64.07 points, or 1.3 percent, to 4,894.55. U.S. crude shed $1.49, or 2.9 percent, to $49.07 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, the benchmark for international oil prices, fell $1.28, or 2.5 percent, to $50.56 a barrel in London. Oil prices had reached 11-month highs in the last few days.

ConocoPhillips gave up $2.06, or 4.4 percent, to $44.51 and oilfield services company Schlumberger shed $1.43, or 1.8 percent, to $78.53.

As they did Thursday, banks fell along with bond yields. Lower bond

yields drive down interest rates on mortgages and other kinds of loans, and that makes them less profitable for banks. Citigroup sank $1.11, or 2.5 percent, to $43.90 and JPMorgan Chase lost 91 cents, or 1.4 percent, to $63.84. Bond prices rose further and the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note sank to 1.64 percent from 1.69 percent.

The drop in bond yields sent phone companies higher, as those stocks’ high dividend yields are comparable to bonds. Verizon Communications rose 72 cents, or 1.4 percent, to $52.67.

Stocks started the week with three days of gains and reached their highest levels in months, but finished back where they started. For the week the Dow was a bit higher, the Nasdaq lower, and the S&P 500 essentially unchanged.(ap)

Jokowi summons Luhut to discuss South China Sea conflict

Brexit: Britain leaving the EU could be a messy divorce Opinion polls suggest it could go either way on June 23, when Britain chooses whether to leave the 28-nation bloc it joined in 1973, with undecided voters likely to make the difference.

As luck would have it, a new and never before used “exit clause” in the EU’s rule book allows any member to withdraw. On paper, it looks straightforward. But of course it’s not. And should it be time to say goodbye, the way the process unfolds will have deep ramifications for Britain and probably influence what happens to the EU down the road, experts say.

Britain wouldn’t leave the EU immediately. It would remain for up to two years while it unpicks its relations with the continent. If needed, it could even ask for an extension beyond the two years, but all 27 countries would have to agree. In that period, British Prime Minister David Cameron, or whoever succeeds him, would have to draw up with his counterparts the arrangements for the country’s departure. The terms of that accord would have to be accepted by a majority of about two thirds of the EU countries.

The sides would have to decide, among other things, on whether Britain remains in the EU’s single market or will be subjected to new tariffs on trade. This is when the remaining EU

Jakarta’s traffic trials give rise to a tech success

JAKARTA — The Indonesian capital’s reputation as one of the most congested cities is typically not an advantage with investors. But one company has become the country’s most visible technology success with an app that relieves some of the pain of its maddening traffic.

The ride-hailing apps that are now part of daily life from New York to New Delhi and London are usually used to summon cars. Jakarta, the world’s sixth-largest urban sprawl and by some measures the most carclogged, needed something different.

In hindsight, the Go-Jek mobile app for hailing rides on motorcycles, to dodge and weave through traffic, was a no-brainer.

But its sudden success over the past two years took even its founder by surprise.

The app’s name is a play on “ojek,” the Indonesian word for freelance motorcycle taxis, now a rare sight in Jakarta after many drivers joined Go-Jek’s green-jacketed, GPS-coordinated ranks.

“We really had no idea it would be adopted so widely and so quickly,” said Nadiem Makarim, who admits the company and its app struggled to keep pace when tens of thousands began downloading it.

Makarim believes Jakarta’s carmageddon had arrived at a “pain point” of huge unmet demand for a solution.

“Smartphone penetration was at an all-time high in Jakarta, traffic was at an all-time high,” he said. “Getting yourself or your things from A to B in the quickest way possible could only be achieved by motorcycles.”

As by far the biggest economy in Southeast Asia, making up a third of the

region’s gross domestic product, Indonesia has also attracted Uber and Go-Jek’s fiercest competitor, Malaysia’s Grab, which is headed by Makarim’s Harvard classmate Anthony Tan. Analysts say both Uber and Grab have greater scale and resources than Go-Jek, crucial for sustaining losses in the transport app industry’s early stages and for sustaining investments in the behind-the-scenes technology that makes the apps easy for people to use.

Go-Jek has built on its strategy of providing rides to introduce a slew of additional Go- services to the app, including delivering food, groceries, cleaners, massage therapists and beauticians to homes.

The Go-Send document pickup and delivery service and Go-Food are the company’s two biggest businesses after rides, Makarim said. Go-Food, he said, has become the biggest food delivery business in Southeast Asia by number of transactions.

“Go-Jek’s vision is to escape competition by creating an on-demand platform for anything our consumer wants,” he said.

“We’re not stuck on our identity based on what we think it should be. We let the market decide what they want us to be.”

Florian Hoppe, a partner at consulting company Bain who specializes in technology, said Go-Jek’s approach is “fairly

unique” but fits the situation in Jakarta and other Indonesian cities where service businesses are hobbled by transportation problems.

“It’s hard to predict where this will be going,” he said. “In the long-term, specialized services will likely have an edge but Indonesia has enough uniqueness, market protection and scale, that (Go-Jek) could be very successful in the long-term too.”

Makarim dreamed up Go-Jek for an independent study project while at Harvard Business School and started it as a sideline business when he returned to Indonesia in the summer. For its first three years, it operated like a call center. It became a mobile app after Makarim turned his attention to it full-time from mid-2014.

Like elsewhere, ride hailing apps are drawing an angry backlash from taxi drivers as their incomes drop. In March, a protest by thousands of taxi drivers that paralyzed the capital turned violent, with cabbies brawling in the streets with green-jacketed drivers from Go-Jek and Grab.

Go-Jek says it has more than 200,000 drivers around Indonesia but the pain for taxis seems most acute in Jakarta, where all the ride hailing services are battling fiercely for customers, pushing fares to rock bottom.

Since a Go-Jek trip within the city costs only about 12,000 rupiah (90 cents) outside of peak hours, the company is burning through its investment cash because in Jakarta the fares are lower than what it pays drivers.(ap)

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has summoned Coordinating Minister for Law, Security and Political Affairs Luhut Binsar Panjaitan to discuss South China Sea conflicts. “We discussed South China Sea conflict,” Luhut said after he met with President Jokowi here on Monday.

Luhut said the president asked his ministers to formulate an Indonesia stance on the conflict.

It is important that all state official would give the same answer to any question about Indonesian position on the South China conflict, Luhut quoted the president as saying.

“The president asked us not give conflicting statements about the sensitive issue,” he added.

Luhut said he would call a meeting soon about the issue. “Tomorrow I will have a meeting. I could give statement then,” he said.

Indonesia has sought not to be dragged into the conflict involving a number of other ASEAN member countries mainly the Philippines and Vietnam.

Luhut said there is international arbitration court to take care of the conflicts, adding, “let us just see.”(ap)

Embassy officials repatriate 33 Indonesian migrant workers from Syria

JAKARTA - Some 33 Indonesian migrant workers in Syria have returned to Indonesia through the Rafic Hariri International Airport in the capital city of Lebanon, Beirut, according to the Indonesian Embassy in Damascus.

Most of the migrant workers repatriated by the embassys officials on June 9 are from West Java, while the others hail from Central Java, East Java, and West Nusa Tenggara, the embassys statement made available to Antara here on Monday revealed.

The repatriation was conducted after all requirements concerning the rights of the workers had been met by their employers. It was the 275th batch of Indonesian migrant workers that had been repatriated from the war-torn country.

Following the latest repatriation, it is believed that 21 Indonesians, suspected of being victims of a human trafficking syndicate, are still housed at the embassys temporary shelter.

According to Indonesian Ambassador to Syria Djoko Harjanto, the repatriation of Indonesian migrant workers from Syria has been conducted since 2011 owing to security reasons.

“Thus, the contracts of our migrant workers have been extended for an indefinite duration,” he pointed out.

The 33 migrant workers, who had been repatriated on June 9, might have also been the victims of a human trafficking syndicate as they had no working agreements or contracts citing the destination country, amount of salary, and expiry of the employment contract, he added.(ant)

Watchdog: Nuclear powers shrinking, modernizing arsenals

STOCKHOLM — The global number of nuclear warheads dropped last year, though none of the nine nuclear powers showed any signs of giving up their atomic weapons, an arms watchdog said Monday.

In an annual report, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, or SIPRI, said the United States, Russia, Britain, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea, together had about 15,395 nuclear weapons on Jan. 1 this year, down from 15,850 a year earlier.

Of those 4,120 were deployed

warheads, meaning warheads placed on missiles or on bases with operational forces. All of those warheads were deployed by the U.S., Russia, Britain and France, SIPRI said.

The institute said global nuclear arsenals have been shrinking since their Cold War-peak of nearly 70,000

Mateen was an armed guard at a gated retirement community, and had

worked for the global security firm G4S for nine years. He had cleared two company background screenings, the latest in 2013, according to G4S. Despite Mateen’s 911 call expressing support for Islamic State, U.S. officials said on Sunday they had no conclusive evidence of any direct connection with foreign extremists.

“So far as we know at this time, his first direct contact was a pledge of bayat (loyalty) he made during the massacre,” said a U.S. counterterrorism official. “This guy appears to have been pretty screwed up without any help from anybody.” Authorities said Mateen had been twice questioned by FBI agents in 2013 and 2014 after making comments to co-workers about supporting militant groups, but neither interview led to evidence of criminal activity Ronald Hopper, the FBI’s assistant special agent in charge on the case, said Mateen was questioned in 2014 about his contacts with Moner Mohammad Abu-Salha, a U.S. citi-

warheads in the mid-1980s, mainly due to sharp cuts in Russian and U.S. nuclear forces.

“At the same time, both Russia and the USA have extensive and expensive nuclear modernization programs under way,” SIPRI said.

Countries with much smaller nuclear arsenals have started to deploy new delivery systems or announced their intention to do so, the report said, highlighting China, India and Pakistan.

It said that Israel, which neither confirms nor denies having nuclear weapons, is testing “a long-range nuclear-capable ballistic missile.”

North Korea is believed to have built up to 10 warheads, but it remains unclear whether the reclusive communist country has produced or deployed any operational weapons, SIPRI said.

“North Korea claims to have designed and built a nuclear warhead that is sufficiently compact and robust for delivery by a ballistic missile,” the report said. “However, there is no open-source evidence to indicate whether it has actually done so.”

Yusufiy told reporters near Boulder, Colorado, that she had been beaten by Mateen during outbursts of temper in which he would “express hatred towards everything”. But his father Mir Siddique, who saw Mateen on Saturday afternoon, said he saw nothing out of the ordinary.

“Everything was normal,” Siddique told ABC News, saying his son was not radicalized. “He was just a regular person who went to work, coming back and take care of his wife and his kids,” he said. “If he was alive, I would ask him one question: why?”

Nervous Baltics on war footing as NATO tries to deter Russia

VILNIUS - Leaders in the Baltic countries and Poland fear the force NATO plans to deploy on their territory is too small and symbolic to deter an attack by Russia, whose 2014 annexation of Crimea is fresh in the memories of the former Soviet-bloc states.

They will this week press other ministers of the western military alliance to help them build an air defence system against Russian aircraft and missiles. But that would be a highly sensitive step, likely to be condemned by Moscow as yet more evidence of a NATO strategy threatening its borders. Asked about the likelihood of Russian aggression in the Baltics, Lithuania’s Defence Minister Juozas Olekas told Reuters: “We cannot exclude it ... They might exercise on the borders and then switch to invasion in hours.”

Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia see themselves on the front line in any potential conflict with Moscow and say they are putting their armies on a war footing, meaning they can be mobilised almost immediately. NATO defence ministers are set to agree this week on a new multinational force of 4,000 troops for the Baltics and Poland. The United States, Germany and Britain are set to lead battalions of about 1,000 troops each. Canada may lead a fourth.

While the Baltic nations welcome the deployments, they say the build-up must go further - pointing to Russia’s efforts to develop an “anti-access” capability in the Kaliningrad exclave bordering Lithuania and Poland, using missiles and submarines to stop NATO moving reinforcements into the Baltics. The Baltics want NATO fighters to protect their skies and are seeking medium-range missile interceptors from Norway’s Kongsberg Gruppen and U.S. defence contractor Raytheon.”We need to stop possible air aggression,” said Olekas. “We are discussing creating a regional medium-range air defence system together with the Latvians, the Estonians and the Poles.” Olekas expects to raise the matter with NATO colleagues at the ministers’ meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday in Brussels.

Hamilton floats like Ali to fifth Canadian win

MONTREAL - Britain’s Lewis Hamilton won the Canadian Grand Prix for the fifth time on Sunday and paid tribute to the late boxing great Muhammad Ali after cutting Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg’s championship lead to nine points. “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. That’s for Muhammad Ali,” the triple world champion said over the radio after taking the chequered flag at a cold Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. After parking up, Hamilton did an ‘Ali shuffle’ in another mark of respect for the former heavyweight champion whose funeral was on Friday.

“I was just floating out there, the car was really floating,” he said of his 45th career victory in Formula One. “The last 15 laps all I could do was think of him (Ali). The Rumble in the Jungle. Maybe he was watching the race. But RIP. This was for him,” said Hamilton.

Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel finished second and Finland’s Valtteri Bottas was third for Williams, but 46.4 seconds behind the winner. Vettel had made a lightning start from third on the grid to blast past both Mercedes and grab the lead of the 70-lap race at the first corner. Rosberg got alongside Hamilton, who made another sluggish start, but he refused to yield as they fought for the tight space and their wheels banged and forced the title leader onto the grass.

The collision was not on the scale of their crash in Barcelona last month, which took both of them out, but proved a huge setback for Rosberg who dropped to 10th with Hamilton staying second. “I am at a real loss to know what happened.

Had it been a longer straight I would have been a sitting duck,” said Hamilton. Rosberg admitted he was

This lake have wide 3,8 km2 and also its deepness is up to 22 meters. The water volume in this lake is about 0,049 km3, so Beratan Lake is the closed lake. Tourist can access the Beratan Lake through the dock which have been provided or desist around Ulun Danu Beratan Temple. In this place, the visitor can do various activities like doing recreation to look around in dock or do the other outdoor activities. The various water recreation activities can also be conducted here, for example riding the boat motorize to circle the lake, parasailing, canoeing with the traditional boat, banana boating, water skiing, and others. Fish-

ing activities are also available in this places for who one love fishing in the lake. Beratan Lake is situated in the plateau area with cool atmosphere surround it. It is an ideal place for relaxation while enjoy the beautiful panorama of lake. The accommodations are also available in this area where is the perfect place for overnight stay, resting and enjoy the beautiful panoramic of lake with the Ulun Danu Temple as a magnificence. The small scale of agriculture activities are likely conducted around this lake and can be perceived at the same time circle around it. If we encircle it, we can take photograph with the beautiful background view or make the picture sketch face in painting mini studio at the lakeside with a short time as a souvenir. (IBP/net)

angry at the time, but added: “That’s racing. Sebastian had a great start, I had a decent one, Lewis had slow one. “In Spain I went for the outside and made it work. Here, I went for the outside again and he did a real hard racing manoeuvre and I was off. I was (angry) at the time but that’s racing.”

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (23) shoots the ball against Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (11) in game four of the NBA Finals at Quicken Loans Arena.

OAKLAND - With the Golden State Warriors a victory away from winning a second straight NBA Championship over the Cleveland Cavaliers, tension between the teams hit fever pitch on Sunday on the eve of Game Five over the Draymond Green suspension for his flagrant fouls.

The Warriors’ Green was suspended for Game Five in Oakland on Monday because of the flagrant 1 foul he was called for in an incident with Cleveland’s LeBron James in Game Four on Friday. The incident gave Green his fourth flagrant foul point of the playoffs, which carries a one-game suspension. Golden State guard Klay Thompson, whose team leads the best-of-seven series 3-1, was asked to respond to James’ postgame remarks on Friday that Green had crossed the line with his

in-game trash talk. “Obviously people have feelings and people’s feelings get hurt even if they’re called a bad word,” Thompson said.

“I guess his feelings just got hurt. We’ve all been called plenty of bad words on the basketball court before. Some guys just react to it differently.” James was asked to respond to Thompson’s remarks.

“Oh, my goodness,” James said.

“I’m not going to comment on what Klay said, because I know where it can go from this sit-in. It’s so hard to take the high road. “At the end of the day, we’ve got to go out and show up and play better tomorrow night, and if we don’t, then they’re going to be back-to-back champion, and that’s it.”

James has taken plenty of criticism not only for the way he has played in the NBA Finals, but for

stepping over Green in the fourthquarter incident that resulted in Green’s suspension that came down on Sunday. James received a technical foul for his part in the incident. He was asked if stepping over Green was a sign of disrespect for his opponent. “I was just trying to get back into the play,” James said. The Warriors have won six of seven games since they fell behind 3-1 in the Western Conference final with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

But how will they perform without Green? “You see every game what he brings, the energy, the defensive presence,” Warriors guard Stephen Curry said. “He’s a playmaker with the ball in his hands, and he’s a proven All-Star. “We’re going to have to have somebody step up and do it by committee to replace that effort.” (rtr)

Sp rt Contentious Peru goal knocks Brazil out of Copa

Substitute Raul Riudiaz’s hotly disputed goal earned Peru a shock 1-0 win over Brazil in Foxborough, Massachusetts on Sunday, the defeat knocking the five-times world champions out the Copa America at the group stage.

The Peruvian forward appeared to use his hand to score from close range with 16 minutes remaining and after a long delay while the referee consulted with his assistant while taking advice through an earpiece, he allowed the goal to stand.

Television pictures showed Ruidiaz grinning after the goal had been

awarded but the Brazilian players were apoplectic with rage at a decision that sent them tumbling out of the tournament before the knockout stages for the first time since 1987.

“We saw that the ball hit his hand but you can’t complain,” Brazil centre half Miranda told reporters. “(The referee) said he discussed it with four

officials and that they didn’t see the handball.

“Brazil tried from the first minute to score but the ball didn’t want to go in unfortunately, and that’s football. If you don’t score you pay for it.”

The result lifted Peru to the top of Group B and eliminated Brazil, who dropped down to third place behind Ecuador in the tournament being played in the United States to celebrate the centenary of governing body CONMEBOL and the Copa America.

Following the conclusion of the first two groups in the 16-team competition, Peru will play Colombia in the quarter-finals in New Jersey on Friday, while the host nation will take on Ecuador in Seattle a day earlier.

Mexico, Venezuela and Argentina have already qualified from the other two groups with a match to play with either Chile or Panama joining them in the quarter-finals pending the result of their showdown on Tuesday.

Peru’s Raul Ruidiaz (11) scores a goal past Brazil’s goalkeeper Alisson (1) in the second half of a Copa America Group B soccer match on Sunday, June 12, 2016, in Foxborough, Mass.

The loss was a harsh one for Brazil, who knew a draw would have been enough to see them advance and were generally the better team without ever really threatening the Peruvian goal.

Peru upped the tempo after a lacklustre first half and the controversial decider came after 74 minutes when Andy Polo whipped in a low cross that fell just behind the onrushing Ruidiaz inside the six-yard box.

The Universitario player appeared to handle the ball into the net to the immediate anger of the Brazilian players, who surrounded the Uruguayan referee along with several Peruvians before the official opted to give the goal after a long delay.

Elias then missed a golden opportunity to equalise for Brazil in injury time but he failed to connect properly with only the goalkeeper to beat.

The result came just hours after Ecuador hammered a hapless Haiti 4-0 to guarantee their quarter-final berth. Enner Valencia opened the scoring after 10 minutes and Jaime Ayovi doubled Ecuador’s advantage nine minutes later after a swift counter-attack.

Christian Noboa made it 3-0 with a well-placed shot after 56 minutes before Antonio Valencia tapped home the fourth after another break on 77 minutes.

The result left Haiti, who were competing in the competition for the first time, bottom of the group on no points and a goal difference of minus 11.

Prosecutor: 150 Russians came to Marseille to cause trouble

MARSEILLE - Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin says 150 specially trained Russian hooligans were behind much of the violence that broke out in Marseille ahead of the England-Russia game on Saturday.

Robin spoke after a weekend of violence in the French port city ahead of the European Championship soccer game on Saturday, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

About 35 people have been injured, including four people whose conditions were described as serious. Robin told reporters Monday that while “almost of those who were wounded were British,” England supporters were also responsible for some of the violence.

He said 20 people have been arrested. Ten of them — six Brits, an Austrian and three French — will face immediate trial. (ap)

Germany makes winning start, warnings for England and Russia

PARIS — Germany began its campaign to add the 2016 European Championship to its 2014 World Cup with a promising 2-0 victory over Ukraine on Sunday, while England and Russia were threatened with expulsion from the tournament.

Shkodran Mustafi’s header set Germany on its way to a win that was sealed by substitute Bastian Schweinsteiger in the second minute of injury time, just two minutes after the midfielder had come on to the pitch.

The day’s earlier matches both ended in 1-0 victories, with a wonder strike from Luka Modric seeing Croatia past Turkey in a bruising encounter and Arkadiusz Milik scoring for Poland against Northern Ireland.

The football followed a blunt warning from UEFA to England and Russia that their presence at Euro 2016 could be short-lived if their violent fans continued to cause havoc.

Expressing its “utter disgust” over three days of disorder in Marseille, European soccer ’s ruling body said it warned both football associations that “it will not hesitate to impose additional sanctions ... including the potential disqualification of their respective teams from the tournament, should such violence occur again.”

UEFA urged the two associations “to appeal to their supporters to behave in a responsible and respectful manner” at the tournament.

Worryingly, the two sets of fans could again cross paths in Lille this week. Russia next plays Slovakia in Lille on Wednesday afternoon. The following day, England meets Wales 30 kilometers (20 miles) away in Lens.

Authorities in northern France are already bracing for trouble.

If the hooligans have marred the start of the tournament, Schweinsteiger’s strike after a lightening counterattack and Modric’s stunning volley provided a welcome reminder of what has brought up to 2 million soccer fans to France.

Germany surged forward on the break and Mesut Ozil provided the perfect cross from the left flank for his teammate to hammer into the net. “A Bastian Schweinsteiger is worth his weight in gold,” Germany coach Joachim Loew said.

Schweinsteiger, who suffered his second serious knee injury of the year in training on March 22 and hadn’t played since, could barely believe the way his luck had turned.”Incredible that something like this can happen, you can only wish for it,” he said.

There were similar feelings for Modric after he met a high clearance with a 25-meter shot that beat Volkan Babacan in the Turkey goal.

The Real Madrid midfielder wasn’t aware that a Croatia fan

had breached the stadium security and got onto the pitch to celebrate with the players. “After scoring this kind of goal I didn’t even notice at first,” Modric said of the incident. “If he went on the pitch, he went with a really positive attitude.”

Poland fully deserved its victory over a Northern Ireland side that looked out of its depth on the big stage.

With Poland forward Robert L e w a n d o w s k i , q u a l i f y i n g ’s top scorer, marked out of large stretches of the game, there was space for others to make an impact. One was attacking midfielder Milik, who scored the decisive goal with a low shot in the 51st minute. Poland could have easily scored more were it not for some erratic shooting.

Their players might learn something from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whose Sweden side plays Ireland on what should be a great day of football on Monday.

Spain, which is bidding for a third consecutive European crown, takes on the Czech Re-

public in their opening match, while the action ends with a

promising Belgium side facing Italy. (ap)

Hamilton floats like Ali to fifth Canadian win

MONTREAL - Britain’s Lewis Hamilton won the Canadian Grand Prix for the fifth time on Sunday and paid tribute to the late boxing great Muhammad Ali after cutting Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg’s championship lead to nine points. “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. That’s for Muhammad Ali,” the triple world champion said over the radio after taking the chequered flag at a cold Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. After parking up, Hamilton did an ‘Ali shuffle’ in another mark of respect for the former heavyweight champion whose funeral was on Friday.

“I was just floating out there, the car was really floating,” he said of his 45th career victory in Formula One. “The last 15 laps all I could do was think of him (Ali). The Rumble in the Jungle. Maybe he was watching the race. But RIP. This was for him,” said Hamilton.

Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel finished second and Finland’s Valtteri Bottas was third for Williams, but 46.4 seconds behind the winner. Vettel had made a lightning start from third on the grid to blast past both Mercedes and grab the lead of the 70-lap race at the first corner. Rosberg got alongside Hamilton, who made another sluggish start, but he refused to yield as they fought for the tight space and their wheels banged and forced the title leader onto the grass.

The collision was not on the scale of their crash in Barcelona last month, which took both of them out, but proved a huge setback for Rosberg who dropped to 10th with Hamilton staying second. “I am at a real loss to know what happened.

Had it been a longer straight I would have been a sitting duck,” said Hamilton. Rosberg admitted he was

angry at the time, but added: “That’s racing. Sebastian had a great start, I had a decent one, Lewis had slow one. “In Spain I went for the outside and made it work. Here, I went for the outside again and he did a real hard racing manoeuvre and I was off. I was (angry) at the time but that’s racing.”

Vettel, benefitting from the upgraded turbocharger Ferrari brought to the race, held the lead until his pitstop on lap 11 but the two-stop strategy was to prove the Italian team’s undoing. Hamilton regained the lead for the final time when Vettel stopped for fresh tyres on lap 36 and despite the Ferrari showing quicker pace at times was never in a position to mount a challenge.

stepping over Green in the fourthquarter incident that resulted in Green’s suspension that came down on Sunday. James received a technical foul for his part in the incident. He was asked if stepping over Green was a sign of disrespect for his opponent. “I was just trying to get back into the play,” James said. The Warriors have won six of seven games since they fell behind 3-1 in the Western Conference final with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

But how will they perform without Green? “You see every game what he brings, the energy, the defensive presence,” Warriors guard Stephen Curry said. “He’s a playmaker with the ball in his hands, and he’s a proven All-Star. “We’re going to have to have somebody step up and do it by committee to replace that effort.” (rtr)

Watchdog: Nuclear powers shrinking, modernizing arsenals

STOCKHOLM — The global number of nuclear warheads dropped last year, though none of the nine nuclear powers showed any signs of giving up their atomic weapons, an arms watchdog said Monday.

In an annual report, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, or SIPRI, said the United States, Russia, Britain, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea, together had about 15,395 nuclear weapons on Jan. 1 this year, down from 15,850 a year earlier.

Of those 4,120 were deployed

warheads, meaning warheads placed on missiles or on bases with operational forces. All of those warheads were deployed by the U.S., Russia, Britain and France, SIPRI said.

The institute said global nuclear arsenals have been shrinking since their Cold War-peak of nearly 70,000

Nearly 24 hours after the rampage ended, authorities had publicly named only 21 of the victims, half of whom were in their 20s.

Jaymie Glaspie, 35, was looking for her brother, Paul Henry.

“I’ve been calling all day, and I just went to his house,” Glaspie said. “It’s just ringing and ringing.”

Maribel Mejia, 42, got good news about one friend, who sought cover during the shooting and escaped.

Others were not as lucky. “One is dead already,” Meijia told reporters.

“Six more, we don’t know.”

Mateen was an armed guard at a gated retirement community, and had

worked for the global security firm G4S for nine years. He had cleared two company background screenings, the latest in 2013, according to G4S. Despite Mateen’s 911 call expressing support for Islamic State, U.S. officials said on Sunday they had no conclusive evidence of any direct connection with foreign extremists.

“So far as we know at this time, his first direct contact was a pledge of bayat (loyalty) he made during the massacre,” said a U.S. counterterrorism official. “This guy appears to have been pretty screwed up without any help from anybody.” Authorities said Mateen had been twice questioned by FBI agents in 2013 and 2014 after making comments to co-workers about supporting militant groups, but neither interview led to evidence of criminal activity Ronald Hopper, the FBI’s assistant special agent in charge on the case, said Mateen was questioned in 2014 about his contacts with Moner Mohammad Abu-Salha, a U.S. citi-

warheads in the mid-1980s, mainly due to sharp cuts in Russian and U.S. nuclear forces.

“At the same time, both Russia and the USA have extensive and expensive nuclear modernization programs under way,” SIPRI said.

Countries with much smaller nuclear arsenals have started to deploy new delivery systems or announced their intention to do so, the report said, highlighting China, India and Pakistan.

It said that Israel, which neither confirms nor denies having nuclear weapons, is testing “a long-range nuclear-capable ballistic missile.”

North Korea is believed to have built up to 10 warheads, but it remains unclear whether the reclusive communist country has produced or deployed any operational weapons, SIPRI said.

“North Korea claims to have designed and built a nuclear warhead that is sufficiently compact and robust for delivery by a ballistic missile,” the report said. “However, there is no open-source evidence to indicate whether it has actually done so.”

SIPRI is a Stockholm-based independent think tank, partly funded by the Swedish government. Created in 1966, its research is focused on global security, arms control and disarmament. (ap)

Yusufiy told reporters near Boulder, Colorado, that she had been beaten by Mateen during outbursts of temper in which he would “express hatred towards everything”. But his father Mir Siddique, who saw Mateen on Saturday afternoon, said he saw nothing out of the ordinary.

“Everything was normal,” Siddique told ABC News, saying his son was not radicalized. “He was just a regular person who went to work, coming back and take care of his wife and his kids,” he said. “If he was alive, I would ask him one question: why?”

Nervous Baltics on war footing as NATO tries to deter Russia

VILNIUS - Leaders in the Baltic countries and Poland fear the force NATO plans to deploy on their territory is too small and symbolic to deter an attack by Russia, whose 2014 annexation of Crimea is fresh in the memories of the former Soviet-bloc states.

They will this week press other ministers of the western military alliance to help them build an air defence system against Russian aircraft and missiles. But that would be a highly sensitive step, likely to be condemned by Moscow as yet more evidence of a NATO strategy threatening its borders. Asked about the likelihood of Russian aggression in the Baltics, Lithuania’s Defence Minister Juozas Olekas told Reuters: “We cannot exclude it ... They might exercise on the borders and then switch to invasion in hours.”

Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia see themselves on the front line in any potential conflict with Moscow and say they are putting their armies on a war footing, meaning they can be mobilised almost immediately. NATO defence ministers are set to agree this week on a new multinational force of 4,000 troops for the Baltics and Poland. The United States, Germany and Britain are set to lead battalions of about 1,000 troops each. Canada may lead a fourth.

While the Baltic nations welcome the deployments, they say the build-up must go further - pointing to Russia’s efforts to develop an “anti-access” capability in the Kaliningrad exclave bordering Lithuania and Poland, using missiles and submarines to stop NATO moving reinforcements into the Baltics. The Baltics want NATO fighters to protect their skies and are seeking medium-range missile interceptors from Norway’s Kongsberg Gruppen and U.S. defence contractor Raytheon.”We need to stop possible air aggression,” said Olekas. “We are discussing creating a regional medium-range air defence system together with the Latvians, the Estonians and the Poles.” Olekas expects to raise the matter with NATO colleagues at the ministers’ meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday in Brussels.

BRUSSELS — When Britons decide next week whether to leave the European Union the question will be simple: yes or no. Actually leaving would be far more complicated, rather like a drawn-out, painful and possibly bitter divorce. countries could make life very difficult for Britain. How tough the negotiations get would determine the future for both sides.

Some say the Europeans won’t be doing Britain any favors. Given the number of crises in Europe — economic stagnation, the refugee emergency, extremist attacks — it’s hard to see why members would take the time to negotiate in good faith with a partner who’s deserting them. The leaders may have already expended a lot of their goodwill on the special concessions they agreed on earlier this year to persuade Britain to stay.

“It would be in the interest of the rest of the EU to make sure that this does not create a precedent,” said Fabian Zuleeg, chief executive at the European Policy Centre in Brussels.

Few would relish the thought, he said, of “a country outside that has some sort of pick-and-choose, associate membership which could look quite attractive for a number of other countries.” Tough negotiations could mean legal and investment uncertainty and might see Britain excluded from the European single market. Cameron dearly wants to avoid being shut out.

Pressure might also mount domestically in Britain if pro-European Scotland calls for a new referendum on its

future in Britain.

Beyond the negotiations, there is a bureaucratic tangle to undo, which will take time. Michael Emerson at the Centre for European Policy Studies estimates that Britain would have to delete some 5,000 regulations, directives and decisions from its statute books relating to the European internal market for goods, services, capital and people. It would also have to extricate itself from about 1,100 trade agreements the EU has with other countries.

All of this would cause much uncertainty for Britain, but could possibly be good for the EU in the short term. A painful exit would dampen the separatist ambitions of other countries considering their EU options.

“If it’s an exit which is painful I think very few other countries will look at this as a serious option, particularly if this is also leading to the U.K. breaking apart,” said Zuleeg. “For politicians, that kind of price would be too much to pay.”

More broadly, however, a Brexit — as Britain’s departure has become known — would probably undermine Europe’s decades-long project of binding countries closer together at a time when it is already fragile.

“It would add to the kind of loss of self-confidence that the EU suffered with the 2008 economic crisis. It never really recovered.”

Britain’s departure could make the EU “more defensive, more cautious about undertaking radical reforms

that might actually provoke other countries to say: ‘Well this is not actually the direction that we want to go in,’” he said.

The likely winners if it is an exit?

The far-right political movements, which are already making major gains in some European countries amid concerns about the EU’s inability to manage the migrant emergency and prevent attacks in Europe’s capitals.

US stocks give up recent gains as oil prices sink

FILE - In this Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015, file photo, a Wall Street street sign is framed by an American flag hanging on the facade of the New York Stock Exchange. U.S. stocks are falling early Thursday, June 9, 2016, and returning some of their recent gains. Banks are skidding on the prospect of a drop in interest rates. Energy companies are slipping with the price of oil and metals companies are also down.

NEW YORK — U.S. stocks skidded Friday in a wave of selling that wiped out most of the market’s gains from earlier this week. A drop in oil prices took energy companies sharply lower. Investors were also troubled by a poll showing Britain may be more likely to leave the European Union.

Oil prices fell by the largest amount in two months, and banks slumped as bond yields fell for the second consecutive day, pulling interest rates lower. Machinery, technology and consumer stocks also lost ground. It was the market’s biggest loss in more than three weeks.

Eric Wiegand, senior portfolio manager for U.S. Bank’s Private Client Reserve, said investors are guessing at the outcome of the British referendum and the Federal Reserve’s meeting next week, as well as the impending

U.S. presidential election. “There’s just not a good way to handicap the outcome just yet,” he said.

The Dow Jones industrial average lost 119.85 points, or 0.7 percent, to 17,865.34. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 19.41 points, or 0.9 percent, to 2,096.07. The Nasdaq composite shed 64.07 points, or 1.3 percent, to 4,894.55. U.S. crude shed $1.49, or 2.9 percent, to $49.07 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, the benchmark for international oil prices, fell $1.28, or 2.5 percent, to $50.56 a barrel in London. Oil prices had reached 11-month highs in the last few days.

ConocoPhillips gave up $2.06, or 4.4 percent, to $44.51 and oilfield services company Schlumberger shed $1.43, or 1.8 percent, to $78.53.

As they did Thursday, banks fell along with bond yields. Lower bond

yields drive down interest rates on mortgages and other kinds of loans, and that makes them less profitable for banks. Citigroup sank $1.11, or 2.5 percent, to $43.90 and JPMorgan Chase lost 91 cents, or 1.4 percent, to $63.84. Bond prices rose further and the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note sank to 1.64 percent from 1.69 percent.

The drop in bond yields sent phone companies higher, as those stocks’ high dividend yields are comparable to bonds. Verizon Communications rose 72 cents, or 1.4 percent, to $52.67.

Stocks started the week with three days of gains and reached their highest levels in months, but finished back where they started. For the week the Dow was a bit higher, the Nasdaq lower, and the S&P 500 essentially unchanged.(ap)

Jokowi summons Luhut to discuss South China Sea conflict

Brexit: Britain leaving the EU could be a messy divorce Opinion polls suggest it could go either way on June 23, when Britain chooses whether to leave the 28-nation bloc it joined in 1973, with undecided voters likely to make the difference.

As luck would have it, a new and never before used “exit clause” in the EU’s rule book allows any member to withdraw. On paper, it looks straightforward. But of course it’s not. And should it be time to say goodbye, the way the process unfolds will have deep ramifications for Britain and probably influence what happens to the EU down the road, experts say.

Britain wouldn’t leave the EU immediately. It would remain for up to two years while it unpicks its relations with the continent. If needed, it could even ask for an extension beyond the two years, but all 27 countries would have to agree. In that period, British Prime Minister David Cameron, or whoever succeeds him, would have to draw up with his counterparts the arrangements for the country’s departure. The terms of that accord would have to be accepted by a majority of about two thirds of the EU countries.

The sides would have to decide, among other things, on whether Britain remains in the EU’s single market or will be subjected to new tariffs on trade. This is when the remaining EU

Jakarta’s traffic trials give rise to a tech success

JAKARTA — The Indonesian capital’s reputation as one of the most congested cities is typically not an advantage with investors. But one company has become the country’s most visible technology success with an app that relieves some of the pain of its maddening traffic.

The ride-hailing apps that are now part of daily life from New York to New Delhi and London are usually used to summon cars. Jakarta, the world’s sixth-largest urban sprawl and by some measures the most carclogged, needed something different.

In hindsight, the Go-Jek mobile app for hailing rides on motorcycles, to dodge and weave through traffic, was a no-brainer.

But its sudden success over the past two years took even its founder by surprise.

The app’s name is a play on “ojek,” the Indonesian word for freelance motorcycle taxis, now a rare sight in Jakarta after many drivers joined Go-Jek’s green-jacketed, GPS-coordinated ranks.

“We really had no idea it would be adopted so widely and so quickly,” said Nadiem Makarim, who admits the company and its app struggled to keep pace when tens of thousands began downloading it.

Makarim believes Jakarta’s carmageddon had arrived at a “pain point” of huge unmet demand for a solution.

“Smartphone penetration was at an all-time high in Jakarta, traffic was at an all-time high,” he said. “Getting yourself or your things from A to B in the quickest way possible could only be achieved by motorcycles.”

As by far the biggest economy in Southeast Asia, making up a third of the

region’s gross domestic product, Indonesia has also attracted Uber and Go-Jek’s fiercest competitor, Malaysia’s Grab, which is headed by Makarim’s Harvard classmate Anthony Tan. Analysts say both Uber and Grab have greater scale and resources than Go-Jek, crucial for sustaining losses in the transport app industry’s early stages and for sustaining investments in the behind-the-scenes technology that makes the apps easy for people to use.

Go-Jek has built on its strategy of providing rides to introduce a slew of additional Go- services to the app, including delivering food, groceries, cleaners, massage therapists and beauticians to homes.

The Go-Send document pickup and delivery service and Go-Food are the company’s two biggest businesses after rides, Makarim said. Go-Food, he said, has become the biggest food delivery business in Southeast Asia by number of transactions.

“Go-Jek’s vision is to escape competition by creating an on-demand platform for anything our consumer wants,” he said.

“We’re not stuck on our identity based on what we think it should be. We let the market decide what they want us to be.”

Florian Hoppe, a partner at consulting company Bain who specializes in technology, said Go-Jek’s approach is “fairly

unique” but fits the situation in Jakarta and other Indonesian cities where service businesses are hobbled by transportation problems.

“It’s hard to predict where this will be going,” he said. “In the long-term, specialized services will likely have an edge but Indonesia has enough uniqueness, market protection and scale, that (Go-Jek) could be very successful in the long-term too.”

Makarim dreamed up Go-Jek for an independent study project while at Harvard Business School and started it as a sideline business when he returned to Indonesia in the summer. For its first three years, it operated like a call center. It became a mobile app after Makarim turned his attention to it full-time from mid-2014.

Like elsewhere, ride hailing apps are drawing an angry backlash from taxi drivers as their incomes drop. In March, a protest by thousands of taxi drivers that paralyzed the capital turned violent, with cabbies brawling in the streets with green-jacketed drivers from Go-Jek and Grab.

Go-Jek says it has more than 200,000 drivers around Indonesia but the pain for taxis seems most acute in Jakarta, where all the ride hailing services are battling fiercely for customers, pushing fares to rock bottom.

Since a Go-Jek trip within the city costs only about 12,000 rupiah (90 cents) outside of peak hours, the company is burning through its investment cash because in Jakarta the fares are lower than what it pays drivers.(ap)

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has summoned Coordinating Minister for Law, Security and Political Affairs Luhut Binsar Panjaitan to discuss South China Sea conflicts. “We discussed South China Sea conflict,” Luhut said after he met with President Jokowi here on Monday.

Luhut said the president asked his ministers to formulate an Indonesia stance on the conflict.

It is important that all state official would give the same answer to any question about Indonesian position on the South China conflict, Luhut quoted the president as saying.

“The president asked us not give conflicting statements about the sensitive issue,” he added.

Luhut said he would call a meeting soon about the issue. “Tomorrow I will have a meeting. I could give statement then,” he said.

Indonesia has sought not to be dragged into the conflict involving a number of other ASEAN member countries mainly the Philippines and Vietnam.

Luhut said there is international arbitration court to take care of the conflicts, adding, “let us just see.”(ap)

Embassy officials repatriate 33 Indonesian migrant workers from Syria

JAKARTA - Some 33 Indonesian migrant workers in Syria have returned to Indonesia through the Rafic Hariri International Airport in the capital city of Lebanon, Beirut, according to the Indonesian Embassy in Damascus.

Most of the migrant workers repatriated by the embassys officials on June 9 are from West Java, while the others hail from Central Java, East Java, and West Nusa Tenggara, the embassys statement made available to Antara here on Monday revealed.

The repatriation was conducted after all requirements concerning the rights of the workers had been met by their employers. It was the 275th batch of Indonesian migrant workers that had been repatriated from the war-torn country.

Following the latest repatriation, it is believed that 21 Indonesians, suspected of being victims of a human trafficking syndicate, are still housed at the embassys temporary shelter.

According to Indonesian Ambassador to Syria Djoko Harjanto, the repatriation of Indonesian migrant workers from Syria has been conducted since 2011 owing to security reasons.

“Thus, the contracts of our migrant workers have been extended for an indefinite duration,” he pointed out.

The 33 migrant workers, who had been repatriated on June 9, might have also been the victims of a human trafficking syndicate as they had no working agreements or contracts citing the destination country, amount of salary, and expiry of the employment contract, he added.(ant)

BANGLI - Entering school holidays, tourist visit to several attractions in Bangli began to increase when compared to normal days. One of them is the Terunyan attraction in Kintamani.

Since the arrival of school holiday season, the number of tourist visit to Terunyan through Kedisan pier increased up to 30-50 people per day.

Chief of the lake and crossing entrepreneurs association (Gapasdap) of Lake Batur, Nengah Dester, said on Sunday (Jun.12) that the increase in tourist visits to Terunyan has been seen from the beginning of school holiday on Saturday (Jun. 11). On normal days, the daily visit usually reaches 10 people, but from last Saturday the visit to Terunyan increased to 30 people. “Until this midday, there have been 50 people crossing to Terunyan,” he explained.

Though the tourist visit showed an increase, according to him, it is not as busy as in previous years.

School holiday season coinciding with Muslim fasting month, he said, is quite influential on the decline in the number of tourist visit compared to previous years. “Probably due to current holiday coincides with the Muslim fasting month the number of tourist visit is not as much as before. Few years ago, the daily visit could reach 90-100 people, where

most visitors are from Java,” he said. Nevertheless, he is confident that the number of visit will increase in the upcoming Eid holiday feast.

As is known Trunyan has been quite famous among travelers for its unique burial tradition at setra wayah. To get to the setra wayah of Terunyan, travelers can cross by boat from Kedisan pier or the small pier in the center of local village.

When crossing through Kedisan pier, travelers will just take about 15 minutes to arrive at setra wayah of Trunyan. In the meantime, if crossing by a small pier in the center of the village, travelers need longer time because they must go to the center of the village by using a motor vehicle. (kmb40)

Australian PM pledges A$1 bln to help ailing Great Barrier Reef

SYDNEY - Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, facing a tight re-election battle, pledged on Monday a A$1 billion ($738 million) fund for the Great Barrier Reef, where scientists say mass coral bleaching has destroyed vast tracts of the World Heritage site. A report late last month said mass coral bleaching, caused by climate change, had destroyed at least 35 percent of the northern and central Great Barrier Reef and that the coral mortality rate would likely rise. The report cast a shadow over the long-term prospects for the reef, which attracts about A$5 billion ($3.7 billion) in tourism each year.

Scientists also believe UNESCO may reconsider its decision not to put the reef on its endangered list.

Turnbull, on the campaign trail for the July 2 election in tropical northern Queensland state, the usual jumping-off point for tourists going to the reef, said he would instruct Australia’s Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) to redirect A$1 billion of its A$10 billion fund. The money would go to a loans scheme aimed at reducing the agricultural and waste water run-off that is diminishing the reef’s ability to withstand rising sea temperatures.

“Much of this will come in the form of financing solar energy, which of course will reduce emissions but also enable farmers to manage their land more efficiently ...” Turnbull told reporters in Townsville.

Pollution from water-borne fertiliser and nutrient-rich runoff limits the ability of corals to withstand higher sea temperatures

associated with cyclical El Nino weather events and global warming. Bleaching occurs when the water is too warm, forcing coral to expel living algae and calcify. The findings of the bleaching survey came at a bad time for Turnbull, who was under pressure after Australia’s Department of Environment confirmed it had omitted its contribution to a U.N. report on the impact of climate change on world heritage sites over concerns it might have a negative impact on tourism.

Turnbull’s conservative coaltion began the seven-weak election campaign with a healthy lead over the centre-left Labor opposition but opinion polls now have them neck-and-neck. Labor, which announced a A$500 million ($369 million), five-year plan for the reef last month, criticised Turnbull for “raiding” the CEFC to fund

HAVE you ever tasted tipat santok? This traditional food is the most popular on the Bali Island.

Balinese people of all walks of life really like this simple menu.

Children, teenagers and old people never get bored with this food because it is easily obtained. Moreover, the flavor can be customized because the sauces can be increased or decreased as desired.

Tipat santok is a breakfast menu which is very well known in Bali.

Tipat santok with spicy sweet sauces are often becoming people’s choice.

It is called so because it offers sweet and spicy flavor. Spicy here does not happen due to too much pepper but because of spicy chili, while the sweet flavor is given by the brown sugar. In Java this food is commonly known as gado-gado.

Tipat santok is very easy to find.

It is cheap and served fresh because it is prepared after being ordered.

Almost at every village street

IBP/file

This traditional food is the most popular on the Bali Island. people can enjoy this food because many merchants of this food are open until late evening.

They usually sell at village roadside, traditional markets and in the

aisles.

Basically the main ingredient is ketupat (rice bag) wrapped in young coconut leaf. However, in later development, people also use plastic or banana leaves as the wrapper. In the presentation, the tipat santok is served with various vegetables such as water spinach, sprouts, and cucumber. Optionally it is accompanied with tofu or tempeh and fried red beans.

In the meantime, the spice is made from fried peanut mixed with garlic, aromatic ginger, lime, palm sugar, fermented shrimp paste and fermented soy beans where all these herbs are then pulverized. After that, it is sprinkled with fried shallot. Now, it is ready to be served.

One portion of tipat santok costs varies according to the venue and merchants. At villages, a portion is sold for IDR 4,000 - IDR 5,000 while in urban areas ranging from IDR 6,000 to IDR 10,000. (kmb)

Massive N.Korea cyber attack thwarted after hacking S.Korea - report

KCNA/ via REUTERS

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un gives field guidance to the newly built Ryugyong Kimchi Factory in this undated photo released by North Korea’s Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on June 10, 2016.

SEOUL - North Korea has hacked into more than 140,000 computers at large South Korean conglomerates and government agencies and planted malicious codes that may have been intended for a massive cyber attack that has been thwarted, a news report said on Monday.

The hacking originated from an internet address traced to the North Korean capital and targeted a software used by about 160 companies and government agencies to manage their computer networks, Yonhap news agency reported, citing the police. The internet address was identical to the one used in a 2013 cyber attack against South Korean banks and broadcasters that froze their computer systems for more than a week. South Korea blamed the North for that attack.

The South Korean police agency’s cyber investigation unit uncovered the hacking and worked with the companies and agencies affected to neutralise the malicious codes and prevent them from being used in a large-scale

cyber attack, Yonhap said. The police’s cyber investigation unit could not immediately confirm the report. South Korea has been on heightened alert against the threat of cyberattacks by North Korea after it conducted a nuclear test in January and a long-range rocket launch last month that led to new U.N. sanctions. In March, the South’s spy agency said it had intercepted an attempt to hack into the South’s computer networks to attack the transport system’s control network, blaming the North for the attempt.

North Korea has worked for years to develop the ability to disrupt or destroy computer systems that control public services such as telecommunications and other utilities, according to a North Korean defector familiar with the effort. The United States accused North Korea of a cyberattack against Sony Pictures in 2014 that led to the studio cancelling the release of a comedy based on the fictional assassination of the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un. North Korea denied the accusation. (rtr)

Scientists use climate, population changes to predict diseases

LONDON - British scientists say they have developed a model that can predict outbreaks of zoonotic diseases – those such as Ebola and Zika that jump from animals to humans – based on changes in climate.

Describing their model as “a major improvement in our understanding of the spread of diseases from animals to people”, the researchers said it could help governments prepare for and respond to disease outbreaks, and to factor in their risk when making policies that might affect the environment.

“Our model can help decisionmakers assess the likely impact (on zoonotic disease) of any interventions or change in national or international government policies, such as the conversion of grasslands to agricultural lands,” said Kate Jones, a professor who co-led the study at University College London’s genetics, evolution and environment department.

The model also has the potential to look at the impact of global change on many diseases at once, she said.

Around 60 to 75 percent of emerg-

ing infectious diseases are so-called “zoonotic events”, where animal diseases jump into people. Bats in particular are known to carry many zoonotic viruses.

The Ebola and Zika viruses, now well known, both originated in wild animals, as did many others including Rift Valley fever and Lassa fever that affect thousands already and are predicted to spread with changing environmental factors.

Jones’ team used the locations of 408 known Lassa fever outbreaks in West Africa between 1967 and 2012 and the changes in land use and crop yields, temperature and rainfall, behavior and access to health care.

They also identified the subspecies of the multimammate rat that transmits Lassa virus to humans, to map its location against ecological factors.

The model was then developed using this information along with

forecasts of climate change, future population density and land-use change.

“Our approach successfully predicts outbreaks of individual diseases by pairing the changes in the host’s distribution as the environment changes with the mechanics of how that disease spreads from animals to people,” said David Redding, who co-led the study.

“It allows us to calculate how often people are likely to come into contact with disease-carrying animals and their risk of the virus spilling over.”

The team tested their new model using Lassa fever, a disease that is endemic across West Africa and is caused by a virus passing to people from rats. Like Ebola, Lassa causes hemorrhagic fever and can be fatal.

The study, published in the journal Methods in Ecology and Evolution, tested the model with Lassa and found the number of infected people will double to 406,000 by 2070 from some 195,000 due to climate change and a growing human population. (rtr)

NEW YORK - A solar-powered airplane finished crossing the United States on Saturday, landing in New York City after flying over the Statue of Liberty during its historic bid to circle the globe, the project team said.

The spindly, single-seat experimental aircraft, dubbed Solar Impulse 2, arrived at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport at about 4 a.m. local time after it took off about five hours beforehand at Lehigh Valley International Airport in Pennsylvania, the team reported on the airplane’s website.

“Such a pleasure to land in #NYC! For the 14th time we celebrate sustainability,” said the project’s co-founder Andre Borschberg on Twitter after flying over the city and the Statue of Liberty during the 14th leg of the trip around the globe.

The Swiss team flying the aircraft in a campaign to build support for clean energy technologies hopes eventually to complete its circumnavigation in Abu Dhabi, where the journey began in March 2015.

The solar craft’s cruising speed, akin to that of a car, required pilots to take up meditation and hypnosis in training to stay alert for long periods.

Borschberg alternates with fellow pilot Bertrand Piccard at the controls for each segment of what they hope will be the first round-the-world solar-powered flight.

On April 24, Piccard landed in San Francisco, completing a trans-Pacific crossing after a nearly three-day trip that began in Hawaii. The flight took more than three times the 18 hours Amelia Earhart took to fly solo from Hawaii to California in the 1930s.

The propeller-driven Solar Impulse flies without a drop of fuel and its four engines are powered solely by energy collected from more than 17,000 solar cells built into its wings.

Surplus power is stored in four batteries during the day, to keep the plane aloft on extreme long-distance flights.

The carbon-fiber plane, with a wingspan exceeding that of a Boeing 747 and the weight of a family car, is unlikely to set speed or altitude records. It can climb to 28,000 feet (8,500 m), and cruise at 34 to 62 mph (55 to 100 kph).

In a precursor of their globe-circling quest, the two men completed a multi-flight crossing of the United States with an earlier version of the solar plane in 2013. (rtr)

Hundreds of notebooks freely distributed to schools at Gitgit village

SINGARAJA - A group of tour guides of Campuhan Gitgit Waterfall at Gitgit village, Sukasada, paid attention to the students of elementary school (SD) by distributing 200 notebooks. The social action targeted 465 students in the local area, Saturday (Jun. 11). Collection of the notebooks was made independently by tour guides along with general public.

A group of tour guides of Campuhan Gitgit Waterfall at Gitgit village, Sukasada, paid attention to the students of elementary school (SD) by distributing 200 notebooks.

A member of the tour guides, Nyoman Wardana, said that the concern to provide the notebook is a form of solidarity to encourage students in order that they can study harder. Distribution of the books was made to some elementary schools such as the SDN 1 Gitgit, SDN 2 Gitgit, SDN 3 Gitgit and SDN 4 Gitgit. In the future, similar activities will be routinely implemented to help improve education in Buleleng. “We distribute around 2,000 notebooks and the students seem excited to learn more diligently,” he said.

In the future, he is going to make other creative activities including quiz competition. Other than providing help in tourism sector, the tour guide group of Campuhan Gitgit waterfall also contributed in the field of education. “We will discuss about the quiz with friends. Hopefully, other relevant organizations could also participate in helping the smoothness in the future,” he affirmed. (kmb34)

To meet production target, Roof tile makers bring in workers from outside

TABANAN - Selling price of Pejaten roof tile reaching IDR 800 per piece in the mid of last May rose to IDR 900 per piece. This happened due to limited stocks as the impact of the lack of laborers when entering fasting month.

“Pursuant to the law of the market, when the production is high, the price goes down. However, when the production slumps, and the demand is on the rise the price becomes expensive,” said the Headman of Pejaten, I Nyoman Alit Wijaya, Sunday (Jun. 12).

To meet the production all this

time, he added, the roof tile makers at Pejaten bring in laborer from outside. Approximately 70 percent of the laborers are brought in from Java and Lombok, while the remaining laborers are Balinese.

When entering the fasting month, most of the laborers return home.

Consequently the remaining few laborers have an impact on the limited production of the Pejaten roof tile. “Many of the previous stocks have been sold out due to increasing demand. Thus, the remaining stock becomes limited.

This makes the price of roof tile

on the rise,” said Alit.

However, he emphasized though many laborers brought in from outside, it does not necessarily mean if the native laborers understanding about roof tile making will become extinct.

Moreover, the roof tile making at Pejaten has been passed down through generations. Recruitment of laborers from outside was made by craftsmen to meet the existing roof tile demands. So, in terms of the laws of economics, it is advantageous,” he said.

Regarding competition with the

roof tile of Java, according to Alit it has its own market. The roof tile from Java is more frequently used by the upper middle class, while that of Pejaten is more widely used by the middle to lower class due to good quality and cheaper price.

Few times ago, the roof tile from Java with Pejaten brand has been circulating in Bali. Certainly it is detrimental to the Pejaten brand because the patent right has been registered. To follow up this, the village sent a team directly to the location producing the roof tile with Pejaten brand mold. Two

villages in East Java were found using the brand, namely Kalianyar village in Bondowoso and Pandak village in Situbondo, including the craftsmen producing the roof tiles under brand name of Pejaten.

Afterward, the team held a meeting with the local headmen and provided information if the brand name has become a patent right of Pejaten craftsmen at Pejaten village, Kediri, Tabanan. The effort at least has given positive results. “Based on the agreement, both villages have replaced the Pejaten brand with other brand,” he said. (kmb24)

COVER STORY Security...

From page 1

The inconvenience arising from security disruption includes robbery, theft and mugging as occurred in tourist areas. When happening at hotel area, it is very bad campaign, not only for the hotel itself but also for tourist areas as a whole.

Some incidents occurred at a number of flourishing hotels and villas because the security system does not comply with the standards.

From the past time, this convenience has been owned by tourist destinations in Bali and this should be properly maintained.

“Bali can survive until now because of its well preserved cultural attractions, people’s hospitality, beautiful environment and the main factors namely security,” said Ardana.

The bomb blasts occurred on the paradise island a decade ago devastated Bali as a world tourist destination. Subsequent bombs several years later also caused prolonged scarcity of foreign travelers, leading the economy of Bali to the lowest point in history. Responsibility for security is a shared task of the public at large and does not just become a burden of police authority.

Since the security is a key point in tourism industry, the security must be managed by each industry

including the accommodation especially star hotels. This has been well recognized by stakeholders such as the Indonesia Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) of Bali and National Police by offering what the so-called hotel management system (SMPH) so that hotels can provide security for travelers. The SMPH is a security standard offered to all of hotel and villa management.

Emergence of the various security cases happened because not all hotels have applied the security standards, especially on budget hotels and the currently mushrooming villas, including star hotels may be still new and have applied its own standard.

Many hotels have not applied such standards due to a number of reasons. A chain hotel may have owned a standard as outlined by its head office, while the others apply it due to the awareness of management to apply the SMPH. Some of them are still new and considering cost factor. Associated with the two latter things, collaboration among the sectors such as the PHRI, tourism office and police authority in the first step is to disseminate so that the hotel management create a security consciousness at their hotel. The following step is to oblige hotel management to apply the security standard at their properties. Otherwise, they can be imposed with educating ‘penalty.’

In the future, it must be further considered to facilitate a forum in the form of SMPH Bali covering all the hotels having applied security standards as a medium of information, communication and sharing ideas related to the standard procedures at every hotel. Thus, their activities can be in the form of round table organized every 2-3 months in turn.

In short, the hotel security can use human (security method), electronic or mechanical equipment, bloodhounds as a complement and active participation of all the employees. The use of people, tools and animals should not diminish privacy of visitors. They all coming

International

to Bali from a far distance must be treated humanistically by paying attention to humanity aspect, social needs and services honoring, respecting and upholding human rights. So, the security services should be done decently, ethically, fast and accurately. Thus, the process of security check can be made in a matter of minutes.

“It’s very difficult to achieve but what to be realized is how to make that every traveler coming or passing at the hotel can be checked.

When being checked by the officers, they do not even feel to be checked. Moreover, the checking is made as a welcome. The smart move is an amazing breakthrough

for the hotel,” said Ardana.

This excellent service must be made by hotel management as well as the front liners and this must still be implemented, without reducing the standard operating procedures having been included in the SMPH itself.

Spokesman of Bali Police, Hery Wiyanto, hoped that all hotels particularly star hotels in Bali should have applied the SMPH. It is applied for the interest of hotel business itself as well as the comfort and safety of guests. If hotels do not have the SMPH, guest visit will be quiet because they feel unsafe.

Moreover, Bali is a tourist area and security of all the hotel guests must be guaranteed. (rah)

“Similarly it will be listed under the government of Governor Made Mangku Pastika. This note will become a black history for democratic civilization in Bali. How does it happen? Cultural festival spending so much public money having to be a people’s party has been transformed into a party of tyrants that are indifferent to culture and civilization,” he confirmed, Sunday (Jun. 12).

Dhamantra added that philosophically the Bali Arts Festival

should have the zeal to unearth Balinese culture with the spirit of togetherness and brotherhood.

However, the idea seems to have disappeared with the presence of terror in the middle of the folk cultural festival.

“It will become a black note in the history of democracy in Bali.

Whatever the reason in the democratic country is, vigilantism does not represent the characteristic of a healthy power,” said the PDI-P politician.

To be understood, continued Dhamantra, the power exists because there is people’s mandate to establish the power. So, whatever the reason is, a healthy power will never be able to hurt their own people.

“To that end, the National Commission of Human Right whether being asked or not should immediately establish a fact-finding mission on human rights violation occurred and prove to people that the ruling power are still eligible to receive the people’s support,” he concluded.

The death of democratic civilization in Bali

DENPASAR - Beating incident against two activists for wearing T-shirts saying ‘Bali Rejects Reclamation’ in the parade of the Bali Arts Festival (BAF) will become its own record as expressed by a member of parliament, Nyoman Dhamantra.

According to him, the opening of the BAF will be recorded by history as a silent witness to the death of democratic civilization in Bali.

Activities

against two environmental activists, namely Wayan Adi Sumiarta (public legal counsel) and Suriadi Darmoko (Executive Director of WALHI Bali). The incident happened because both victims put on a T-shirt with the wording ‘Bali Rejects Reclamation.’

“Initially, we were pushed again and again. When I attempted to avoid from being fallen due to the sudden push, suddenly my right jaw was beaten so that I fell down to the ground,” said Suriadi Darmoko.

According to him, there has been a debate between his friends with the person suspected as the apparatus. Mainly the victim questioned about the reason for the prohibition of using the T-shirt with the wording ‘Bali Rejects

Reclamation.’ However, there is no obvious reason for the prohibition from using of the T-shirt.

“Why do I suspect that the men hitting me were plainclothed officers because they always said that it was the instruction of their superiors every time prohibited us from wearing the ‘rejecting reclamation’ T-shirt,” he said.

If Suriadi suffered a blow in the right jaw, Adi Sumiarta suffered a blow for three times from behind in the left nape. “I did not see his face, but from the video and photo spread, police could at least identify the culprit,” said Adi. In addition to the beatings, a number of people were prohibited from watching the cultural parade when wearing a ‘reject reclamation’ Tshirt. (kmb32)

Smash hit ‘Hamilton’ sweeps Tonys with 11 wins during somber ceremony

NEW YORK - “Hamilton”, the pop culture phenomenon based on U.S. founding father Alexander Hamilton, swept the Tonys on Sunday, winning 11 of Broadway’s top awards including best musical, best actor, best direction and best score and book for creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.

The musical, which tells the story of the ill-fated Hamilton with a deft musical melding of hip-hop and rap, R&B, ballads and traditional Broadway showstoppers, also won for featured actress and actor and several technical awards.

A somber note was cast over the festivities by the attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida early on Sunday that killed 50 people and wounded 53. Several winners spoke of the tragedy in their acceptance speeches.

(L-R) Actors Daveed Diggs holds his award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical for “Hamilton,” Cynthia Erivo holds her award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical for “Hamilton,” Leslie Odom, Jr. holds his award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical for “Hamilton” and Renee Elise Goldsberry with the award for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical for “Hamilton,” pose backstage during the American Theatre Wing’s 70th annual Tony Awards in New York, U.S., June 12, 2016.

Jessica Lange, winning her first Tony as morphine-addicted Mary Tyrone in “Long Day’s Journey Into Night, said the honor “fills me with such happiness, even on such a sad day as this.” Host James Corden opened the usually ebullient show with a statement to victims and others affected: “Your tragedy is our tragedy ... hate will never win.”

“Tonight’s show stands as a symbol and a celebration of that principle,” he said. Miranda, accepting best score for a musical, delivered a sonnet for his acceptance, done in the style of verse heard in “Hamilton”.

“Senseless acts of tragedy ... times of hate,” he said, his voice breaking as he ended with “love is love is love, cannot be killed.” Miranda also won best book of a musical.

Backstage, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber said: “No child is ever born to hate.” Frank Langella, who won his fourth Tony for best actor in a play as an Alzheimer’s-afflicted patriarch in “The Father,” said the theater community stood in support.

“I urge you, Orlando, to be strong,” Langella said. “The Humans” won the Tony for best play, while Jayne Houdyshell and Reed Birney were named best featured actress and actor in a play for the family drama. It also won for scenic design. “The Color Purple” took best revival of a musical, while star Cynthia Erivo took the Tony for best actress in a musical. Other winners included Ivo van Hove, best director of a play for “A View from the Bridge,” which also won best revival of a play. (rtr)

People gather at a vigil in solidarity for the victims of the Orlando nightclub mass shooting at Taylor Square in Sydney, Australia, June 13, 2016.

The FBI and other law enforcement authorities were poring over evidence that could explain the motives for the rampage in Orlando, Florida, a massacre that President Barack Obama denounced as an act of terror and hate. The gunman, Omar Mateen, a New York-born Florida resident and U.S. citizen who was the son of Afghan immigrants, was shot and killed by police who stormed the club with armored cars after a three-hour siege.

Mateen, 29, called emergency services during the shooting and pledged allegiance to the leader of the militant Islamic State group, officials said. His father said on Sunday his son was not radicalized, but indicated Mateen had strong anti-gay feelings. His ex-wife described him as mentally unstable and violent toward her.

Islamic State reiterated on Monday a claim of responsibility for the attack. “One of the Caliphate’s soldiers in America carried out a security invasion where he was able to enter a crusader gathering at a nightclub for homosexuals in Orlando, Florida ... where he killed and injured more than a hundred of them before he was killed,” the group said in a broadcast on its Albayan Radio Although the group claimed re-

sponsibility, this did not necessarily mean it directed the attack: there was nothing in the claim indicating coordination between the gunman and Islamic State before the rampage.

The attack reignited the debate over how best to confront violent Islamist militancy, a top issue in the Nov. 8 presidential election campaign.

Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and her Republican rival Donald Trump were both expected to address the issue on Monday.

The shooting began just after 2 a.m. on Sunday at the crowded Pulse nightclub in the heart of Orlando, about 15 miles (25 km) northeast of the Walt Disney World Resort.

Some 350 patrons were attending a Latin music event at the club, a well-known gay nightspot in the city, and survivors described scenes of carnage and pandemonium as the shooter took hostages inside a bathroom.

Security becomes a priority for travelers

C U R R E N T LY traveling has become a lifestyle for some circles and even a necessity. Travelling is one of the ways to escape from

daily routines and boredom. Before traveling, people will make a careful planning like the decision on the selection of travel agency, destinations located in close proximity to hotel, food outlet, souvenir shops or attraction of special interest.

“The most basic thing to be considered other than the access and facilities on offer is whether the destination to be visited is convenient or not. The level of comfort is the main consideration before making a visit. Aside from

the appeal of nature, culture and authenticity of attractions and destination are also important,” said the academician I Made Ardana Putra, Sunday (Jun. 12). According to the former manager of Bakungsari Cottages Kuta, convenience is the

most coveted factor and obtained by travelers at the destinations, including Bali having been famous to many countries.
