Fantasy meets tragedy in surreal drama ‘A Monster Calls’

TORONTO - A teenage boy’s struggle with his mother’s terminal illness takes a surreal turn when he finds comfort in a giant talking tree monster, in the emotional fantasy drama “A Monster Calls.”

The film, which had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday, follows the story of Connor, a quiet, artistic teenage boy who becomes a target for the school bully.

As his mother, played by Felicity Jones, gets sicker from cancer, Conner goes to live with his cold, reserved grandmother, played by Sigourney Weaver. In the midst of his life crumbling around him,

Connor is visited at night by a giant talking yew tree monster.

The film is adapted from the children’s book of the same name, and Bayona incorporated watercolor animations to illustrate the stories of good and evil that the tree monster, voiced by Liam Neeson, tells Connor.

“I had never read anything quite like it,” said Jones, who plays Connor’s ailing mother.

“The elements of fantasy, anima-

tion, and a giant, talking tree, and dealing with something that everyone goes through, dealing with loss, I thought was very special.”

Newcomer British actor Lewis MacDougall, who plays Connor, said the best part about working on the film was being among the all-star cast and shooting the film in Barcelona.

The film will be rolling out across Europe in October and in limited U.S. theaters in December.

Weaver said she was touched by the story and “delighted” to play an English woman.

“I thought it was an amazing, ambitious story,” she said. (rtr)

AMLAPURA - Tourist visit to Karangasem spreads to a number of attractions. Karangasem with dozens of tourist attractions makes travelers have many options. However, seeing the number of tourist visits within the past semester, apparently the tourist visits have not been evenly distributed. Of the 16 attractions, the Ujung Water Palace still becomes the most favorite destination in Karangasem.

The data on tourist visit to the attractions obtained from the Karangasem Culture and Tourism Agency in the first half (January-June) of 2016 indicated the first rank was occupied by the Ujung Water Palace. In total, the heritage of the Karangasem royal palace recorded the number of tourist visits of 70,300 (19,305 foreign travelers and 50,995 domestic travelers). Three other tourist attractions also recorded high visit namely the Tirtagangga (48,597 travelers), Besakih (42,667 travelers) and Tenganan (24,477 travelers).

France uncovering new terror plots ‘every day’

PARIS - The French Prime Minster warns there “will be new attacks” as a 15-year-old boy is held over a suspected imminent plot. France says it is facing a threat from some 15,000 homegrown radicals French authorities are foiling new terror plots “every day”, according to the country’s prime minister. Manuel Valls said France faced a threat from an estimated 15,000 homegrown radicals, warning that despite the efforts of security services, there “will be new attacks”.

He was speaking to radio station Europe 1 as a 15-year-old boy was arrested in Paris on suspicion of planning an imminent knife attack.

“Today the threat is at a maximum, and we are a target,” Valls said on Sunday. “Every day attacks are foiled ... (including) as we speak.” He warned that among the 15,000 people suspected of being in the process of being radicalised, 1,350 are under investigation.

“There will be new attacks, there will be innocent victims...this is also my role to tell this truth to the French people,” he said.

The teenager detained in eastern Paris on Saturday had been under house arrest since April for suspected links to Islamic extremists following a search of his home.

His arrest comes just days after a police dismantled a “terrorist cell” of female “commandos” in connection with an aborted attack near Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral.

Four women, the 15-year-old daughter of one of the women and a man were arrested last week after an abandoned car filled with gas canisters and diesel was found close to the landmark. One of the women was charged with terrorism offences after telling

police she and an accomplice had tried to set the vehicle alight but fled when they saw a man they believed to be a plain-clothes policeman.

Three of the women are accused of planning a separate attack. The killing of a priest in a terror attack sparked a major security operation. Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said they were acting on orders coming from Syria.

France is in a state of emergency following a series of Islamist attacks which have left 238 people dead since January 2015.

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a number of the attacks including the Paris attacks in Novem-

ber in which 130 people were killed.

It also claimed the man who killed 86 people with a truck in Nice in July was one it its “soldiers”.

According to Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, police have arrested 293 people this year for “links to terrorist networks”.(afp) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

COVER STORY

Tourists...

From page 1

In the meantime, the other tourist attractions are still far behind in terms of tourist visit, namely the Tulamben (17,405), Telaga Waja (14,520), Padangbai (4,634), Labuan/ODC (4,082), Jemeluk (3,925), Karangasem Grand Palace (3,463), Candidasa (843) and Yeh Malet (185). The remaining tourist attractions like the Iseh, Sibetan, Putung and Bukit Jambul are still minimal amounting to zero.

Seeing the data, the total number of foreign and domestic tourist visit in the first half of 2016 reached 107,421 people. This situation has not changed in the second half.

The data through July showed that Ujung Water Palace has recorded 5,392 foreign travelers and 13,903 domestic travelers. But entering this second semester, Besakih has

nearly the same total tourist visits.

But it is different in terms of foreign tourist visit, showing much higher, consisting of 11,981 foreign travelers and 1,475 domestic travelers.

The other attraction showed smaller tourist visit where in the second half only recorded 51,881 foreign and domestic travelers.

When combined with all the tourist visits in the first half, Karangasem totally recorded 59,302 people.

The Head of the Karangasem Culture and Tourism Agency, Wayan Purna, not long ago said that the number did not include the tourist visit in peak season from August to September. He believed the visit will continue to increase as more and more cultural events are held in Karangasem such as the Karangasem Festival, Genjek Festival, Ujung Water Palace Festival, Gebug Ende Festival and others.

Responding to the uneven tour-

ist visit distribution, he asserted that the government of Karangasem is currently working hard to improve various supporting facilities such as the Candidasa, Tenganan and Grand Palace tourist attraction with open stage and park in front of it, precisely in Candrabuana Field. The supporting facility will become additional attraction for visitors. “This year, we are making improvement where a number of supporting facilities are still worked on. Hopefully, this can help increase the tourist visits,” he said.

As comparison, the data on foreign and domestic tourist visit in 2015 reached 628,400 people.

In the first semester was recorded to reach 364,394 people, while in the second half reached 264,006 people. Seeing the data, the Karangasem Culture and Tourism Agency seemingly has to work even harder

to meet the expectations of Karangasem Regent I Gusti Ayu Mas Sumatri. The regent targeted the

Of the four existing lakes, three of them namely the Buyan, Batur and Beratan are even in critical condition. In the meantime, Lake Tamblingan is still considered safe because the location is in the woods.

Three lakes of Bali in critical condition

“Lake Tamblingan is indeed good because the forests and customary communities are strong and they consider the lake as a temple and the forest as a temple, so that no one dares to tamper,” said the environmentalist, Dr. Luh Kartini, in Denpasar, Monday (Sep. 12).

Of the three lakes, added Kartini, Lake Buyan is the worst.

Primarily it happened due to weeds, other than sedimentation or silting. Actually, when compared to other lakes, Lake Buyan is the deepest “If Lake Buyan disappears, it means the three others will also do because Lake Buyan is the deepest,” said this academician from the Udayana University.

Kartini added that Lake Beratan is experiencing pollution due to domestic waste and tourism business and so does the Lake Batur caused by fish cage around the lake and the weeds. Besides, the pollution is also caused by agricultural waste as local farmers are still using pesticides and chemical fertilizers in the three lakes.

“Weed issues should be resolved immediately. After that, it must be considered about maintaining the catchment area, processing domestic waste, livestock and agriculture. It must be processed so as not to get into the lake. All must implement organic agriculture but this has not been worked out,” she complained.

Kartini understood the lake issues are the authority of central government. However, it does not necessarily mean that local governments either provincial or district government where the lake sits have no any responsibility. Conversely, they should aggressively push central government to immediately take action for the handling of the lakes in Bali. The lakes are closely related to the supply of clean water for the Island of the Gods.

“Although it is beyond our authority, we should take care because we take advantage of it. We should encourage central government to do something to the lakes so that they can be preserved. Designation, limits and zoning must clear. After that, we must keep the catchment area, so that nothing is converted.

Agricultural system must also be proposed. Otherwise, no one will know,” she affirmed. (kmb32)

New wheelchair lets you cruise through town standing

YOQNEAM- Israeli technology start-up UPnRIDE Robotics is launching an innovative upright, self-stabilizing wheelchair at a medical conference in Germany next month and the company hopes the device will hit the market next year.

Before then, UPnRIDE needs to pass two clinical trials, one with the U.S. veteran association in New York, to help it get regulatory approval and ensure health insurance companies can assist customers with the hefty price tag.

The company was founded by Amit Goffer, 63, who created a robotic exoskeleton at his previous venture ReWalk Robotics that helps people paralyzed from the waist down to walk.

But Goffer, who has been confined to a wheelchair since an allterrain vehicle accident in 1997, has never been able to use his first invention because his injuries left him with limited function in his arms.

With his new four-wheel chair, which uses a gyroscope similar to that in a two-wheeled Segway and self-stabilizing software, Goffer can maneuver upright over uneven urban terrain and join conversations face to face with people standing up.

“The dignity, self esteem ... to feel like part of society again, the core of society, not the fringe of society - the psychological effect is dramatic,” Goffer said.

For people with serious spinal cord injuries, the act of standing also helps stave off cardiovascular, respiratory and other problems that can arise, said Gabi Zeilig, director of the neurological rehabilitation department at Israel’s Sheba Medical Center.

“The (UPnRIDE) idea is fascinating,” he said. “There are devices today to move from one place to another, but for short

distances and never on a sloped ground.”

In the coming weeks, Zeilig will run a clinical trial of the product while a second study will be done by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in New York, said UPnRIDE Chief Executive Oren Tamari.

He said the key function was UPnRIDE’s ability to adjust and stabilize itself, so no matter what surface angle the device was on, the user would always be upright, maintaining a steady center of gravity and minimizing the risk of falling over.

About one percent of the popula-

tion uses a wheelchair, he said, but only 10 percent of that group has the sufficient upper body function to use the ReWalk exoskeleton, so UPnRIDE targets the rest.

High-end wheelchairs cost between $15-50,000, Tamari said, and “our target is to be somewhere in the middle”. (rtr)

Ahead of drought

Farmers look for drinking water for their cattle to remote site

AMLAPURA — Karangasem has the potential to develop cattle breeding. However, ahead of this drought as observation until Friday (Sep. 9) in Karangasem, residents began to face water crisis and they must find enough water to remote locations in order to provide drinking water for their cattle.

Farmers and cattle ranchers at Datah at the foot and the eastern slopes of Mount Agung started to face water crisis like Luh Manis. Thousands of farmers and other cattle ranchers are experiencing similar problems, namely water crisis. Rainwater all this time accommodated in the reservoir begins to dry. Some people have also totally run out of rainwater because their reservoir leaks. They must take water to a fairly remote location.

The residents of Bingin Kaler, Juwuk, Kalangsari, Teki, Panglegeha or Bidong, for instance, are facing water crisis. It happens because the water from wells at Kalangsari and Juwuk has been getting smaller from about six months ago. In the meantime, the water in the reservoir of Datah I and II at Kedampal is very limited.

To get water, other than waiting for water in both wells at local hamlet, some residents also transport water from public taps in front of the SDN 3 Datah elementary school. The water flows from the Soda springs pipeline network managed by a group of local residents.

In the meantime, a legislator of Karangasem from Datah village, Gede Dana, said that the Telaga Waja clean water pipeline project costing hundreds of billions has not been flowing so far. Actually, he said that local residents have longed for the water. Parliament has often urged the government to take advantage of the project. However, until now the follow up is not clear. He promised to struggle in the parliament and ask for the executive to look for a way out what exactly is the problem to the large project remaining uncompleted for seven years.

“Residents at villages regularly facing water shortages during dry season hope that Telaga Waja water pipeline project can be soon enjoyed and may not be left dormant,” said Gede Dana. (013)

GM’s electric Chevy Bolt to go 238 miles per charge

AP Photo/Paul Sancya, File

In this Monday, Jan. 11, 2016, file photo, the Chevrolet Bolt EV debuts at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

DETROIT — The Chevrolet Bolt, General Motors’ Tesla-fighting electric hatchback for the masses, will be able to go 238 miles (383 kilometers) on a single charge.

The car beats the base rearwheel-drive Tesla Model S, which can go 210 miles (336 kilometers) per charge but costs about $28,500 more.

The Bolt goes on sale later this year for about $37,500 before a $7,500 federal electric vehicle tax credit. It’s the first mass-market electric vehicle to cross the 200mile (322-kilometer) range, a range that will meet or exceed almost every person’s daily driving needs.

GM says the Bolt’s range was determined in testing by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

It takes 9.3 hours to recharge a Bolt

from near empty on a 240-Volt home charger, the company said.

The Bolt also will be able to get software fixes over the internet, Pam Fletcher, GM’s executive chief engineer for electric vehicles, said at a recent conference.

Tesla’s lowest-cost Model S is $66,000 before the credit. Late next year, Tesla plans to start selling the more affordable Model 3. At $35,000 before the credit, it will cost less than the Bolt and is expected to go 215 miles (346 kilometers) per charge.

The Palo Alto, California, company makes cars that travel farther than the Bolt, but they come at a price. The new Model S P100D can go about 315 miles (507 kilometers) per charge, but it starts at $134,500 without the credit. (ap)

A total of three waterfalls at Pengejaran village, Kintamani, are planned to be managed by local village for tourist attraction.

BANGLI — A total of three waterfalls at Pengejaran village, Kintamani, are planned to be managed by local village for tourist attraction. However, to manage the three waterfalls, the village is facing a trouble in opening road access to the waterfall as being hampered by forest land.

Headman of Pengejaran, Nengah Liarta, accompanied by section head of public welfare Made Rada when met recently stated the three waterfalls to be managed by local village are the Bunsalah, Tajun and Madu waterfall. Of the three waterfalls, one of which has uniqueness namely three-tiered attraction.

He said that so far the three waterfalls have already been visited by travelers, especially young people.

The natural potential owned by the three waterfalls makes him plan

to manage the waterfall for tourist attraction. “We are planning to manage the waterfalls in 2017,” he explained.

Nevertheless, he admitted that his authority encounters few obstacles to manage the waterfalls. He is planning to open road access to the waterfall so that it is drivable but does not get permission from the Forestry Agency because the path belongs to forest area. However, the agency only allows the village to make trekking paths.

“The distance to Tajun waterfall is about 500 meters, while the Bunsalah and Jukwani waterfall is about one kilometer,” he said. In addition to managing the waterfall, the village also plans to develop the potential owned by the village namely the durian and mangosteen estate. (kmb40)

South Badung faces water crisis

Arrests spark clashes at Chinese ‘democracy’ village: Hong Kong media, residents

A proposal emerges to take advantage of seawater

US bombers fly over S.Korea in show of force after nuclear test

HONG KONG - Clashes erupted in a Chinese village known for its grassroots push for democracy after at least 13 people were arrested by the police in pre-dawn raids on Tuesday, according to Hong Kong media and residents.

The raids in Wukan fishing village, in the southeast province of Guangdong, came less than a week after a popular and democratically elected village chief, Lin Zuluan, was sentenced to three years imprisonment on graft and other charges.

One person in touch with relatives in Wukan told Reuters between 300-400 police were involved in the raids, and many villagers were injured.

The person added the village was now in police lockdown, and that internet connections were down.

Videos obtained by Hong Kong’s RTHK from villagers show hundreds of police in riot gear confronting at least several dozen villagers marching with Chinese national flags on Tuesday morning.

The Hong Kong government-funded radio station and website reported that the police had used tear gas and rubber bullets in the operation. Photos on social media purporting to be from Wukan showed villagers with wounds that appeared to be from rubber bullets.

The RTHK footage also showed villages throwing rocks at huddled ranks of police equipped with riot shields.

One video obtained by RTHK shows a loud bang and a flash going off near dozens of policemen huddled in formation behind shields.

Reuters cannot independently verify the authenticity of the videos.

The official microblog of Lufeng county police, which oversees Wukan, stated in a post on Tuesday the suspects had been organizing illegal assemblies and used threats to force villagers to join since June 19, a day after Lin was detained.

Since mid June, thousands of people in the village participated in a series of marches to protest Lin’s arrest. (rtr)

further sanctions.

“Both sides think that North Korea’s nuclear test is not beneficial to peace and stability on the Korean peninsula,” China’s official People’s Daily newspaper said on Tuesday following a high-level China-Russia security meeting in Beijing.

“At present, we must work hard to prevent the situation on the peninsula continuing to escalate, and put the issue of the nuclearisation of the peninsula back on the track of dialogue and consultation,” it said.

The pair of U.S. supersonic B-1B Lancer strategic bombers took off from their base in Guam and flew with two Japan Air Self Defense Force aircraft before a “hand-off” to South Korean fighters, according to the U.S. military.

The issue on clean water crisis in South Badung district emerged again within the past few days. Other than the water flow of the Municipality Waterworks (PDAM) frequently stagnates, the other issue such as the muddy water is also experienced by residents.

Ekarini, one of the residents at the Nuansa Udayana housing complex, Taman Griya, stated that PDAM water often stopped within the past few days. Such condition also occurred ahead of Galungan.

“Ahead of Galungan, the PDAM water stopped for the whole day. So, it was very disturbing when going to say prayers,” she said.

Emergence of clean water crisis issue in South Badung also resulted in disappointment of Made Sumerta, a community figure who is also a legislator in the Badung House of Representatives, when met on Monday (Sep. 12). He was deeply disappointed with such condition because he considered the water problem has occurred since three years ago and has not been resolved until now. “It is not quite disappointed, but very disappointed,” he said.

Sumerta affirmed that the PDAM should more focus in dealing with this issue so that it can be resolved completely. When asked about the constraints of insufficient raw

water, this PDI-P politician precisely assessed it somewhat funny.

According to him, it should have been anticipated from the very beginning.

“I think during a meeting with us in the parliament it was said there is no problem regarding the raw water. On that account, it just needs to prepare the utilities. Now, why is it said to have a problem regarding the raw water?” he asked.

Although he admitted that it is currently indeed dry season, but it already rained earlier and it should be taken advantage well. Moreover, the incident appeared when people were preoccupied with ceremonial activities requiring adequate water supplies.

He suggested the PDAM to come down more diligently and make a mapping considering that construction of housing in South Kuta runs very rapidly so that it should prepare the infrastructure and facilities.

To that end, he suggested to make use of seawater and process

He realized if this process needs high costs. However, it is one of the solutions to this problem continuing to occur. “In the past, it was said to need huge funds for utilities,

but after we agreed the problem emerges in terms of raw water, how can this happen?” he asked.

Previously, Managing Director of PDAM, Made Subargayasa, indeed recognized if this condition happened due decreasing raw water

supply. One of them is the drought at the estuary dam supplying the clean water for South Kuta. To that end, he hoped the public to be patient because the company is seeking a solution to resolve this problem. (kmb23)

The arrest was made at the home of MS on Jalan Tepisiring, Tuban, Badung. The suspect MS admitted to buy the crystal meth from PAS at IDR 500,000. The transaction was committed directly at a discotheque in the Kuta area.

Based on confession of the suspect, the officers managed to arrest PAS, 33, working as a driver on Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai, Taman Mumbul in South Kuta. Police seized a package of crystal meth.

“The suspect PAS claimed to have received the crystal meth from KAW. He was told to deliver the crystal meth order with a wage of IDR 50,000 per package. The suspect could have distributed a total of 13 packages,” he said.

Another syndicate member of KAW, KA

with the status as college student was also arrested by the officers on Jalan Pratama, South Kuta on Saturday at 20:00. He admitted to get the crystal meth from KAW. In addition, he was also ordered to deliver crystal meth package with uncertain wage.

“KA admitted to have consumed crystal meth for a month and has never been punished,” said Ganefo.

After that, it was the turn of KAW, 25, working as a hotel employee arrested on Jalan Pratama. In addition, the officers also seized 22 packages of crystal meth as evidence. The suspect claimed to obtain crystal meth from D at Kerobokan Prison for IDR 16.5 million.

If he can sell out the crystal meth, he will get profit as much as IDR 5 million. In addition, he claimed to have bought the illicit goods from D for eight times.

After developing the case, it was the turn of consumer of KAW, namely NT, 22, arrested on Jalan Pratama, Benoa. At that time, NT received two packages of crystal meth from KAW. “We will intensify the investigation to South Kuta. Circulation of drugs in the region is increasingly widespread,” he said. (kmb36)

SEOUL - Two U.S. B-1 bombers flew over South Korea on Tuesday in a show of force and solidarity with its ally after North Korea’s nuclear test last week, while a U.S. envoy called for a swift and strong response to Pyongyang from the United Nations.

Speaking in the South Korean capital on Tuesday, Sung Kim, the U.S. envoy on North Korea, added that the United States remained open to meaningful dialogue with Pyongyang on ending its pursuit of nuclear weapons.

“Our intention is to secure the strongest possible (U.N. Security Council) resolution that includes new sanctions as quickly as possible,” Kim told a news briefing after meeting his South Korean counterpart.

He said the United States would work with China, North Korea’s major diplomatic ally, to close loopholes in existing resolutions, which were tightened with Beijing’s backing in March.

“China has been very clear that they understand the need for a new U.N. security council resolution in response to the latest North Korean nuclear test,” Kim said.

However, China and Russia, which strongly oppose a recent decision by the United States and South Korea to deploy an advanced anti-missile system in the South to counter the North’s missile threat, have shown reluctance to back

solidarity between South Korea, the United States, and Japan to defend against North Korea’s provocative and destabilising actions,” said Admiral Harry Harris, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command.

North Korea’s official KCNA news agency said public anger was “exploding like a volcano” over Washington’s dispatch of bombers to South Korea.

“Any sanction, provocation and pressure cannot ruin our status as a nuclear state and evil political and military provocations will only result in a flood of reckless nuclear attacks that will bring a final destruction,” KCNA said.

China urged restraint among all parties. “If there is a vicious cycle of tensions continuing to rise and mutual provocations, this is not in anyone’s interests,” Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a daily briefing.

North Korea’s weapons enhancements, including the testing of various types of missiles this year at an unprecedented rate, have alarmed neighbours South Korea and Japan.

South Korean President Park Geun-hye maintained her tough stance against the North.

The two Koreas remain technically at war after their 1950-53 conflict ended in a truce, not a peace treaty. (rtr)

“We can stick with our main scenario that the Fed won’t raise rates in September,” said Koichi Yoshikawa, executive director of finance at Standard Chartered Bank’s Tokyo branch. “All the talk about a possible rate hike in September turned out to be noise.”

Fed Funds rate futures <0#FF:> are now pricing in only about a 15 percent chance of a hike at the meeting on Sept 20-21, according to CME Group’s FedWatch Tool.

That was down from about 35 percent in late August, when some Fed officials openly discussed the possibility.

While Brainard’s comments also played in to a generally more upbeat mood on stock markets, a fall in oil prices kept the Australian, Canadian and New Zealand dollars under pressure, with all three down more than half a percent.

Those currencies are closely linked to investors’ appetite for risk globally and have done well since the easing of some concerns over China at the end of January. But the mood has been shakier in the past month.

There was limited market reaction Chinese numbers that showed the fastest rise in industrial output in five months, offering further signs of an improvement in economic activity. (rtr)

Dollar recovers after Fed’s Brainard quells rate rise chatter LONDON - The dollar recovered in early European trade on Tuesday, having dipped the previous day following a speech by Federal Reserve policymaker Lael Brainard that solidified the view that U.S. interest rates are unlikely to rise this month.

There had been much speculation among traders that the speech

by Brainard, announced at the last minute before the U.S. central bank’s pre-meeting blackout period, could see one of its most convinced policy doves flip to support monetary tightening.

In the event, she instead warned against the Fed removing support for the economy too quickly, knocking the greenback half a cent lower. The effect had faded by the start of European trade and the dollar was 0.1 percent higher against both the yen and the euro and 0.2 percent against a basket of currencies.

“We’ve had so much information and misinformation (on the chances of a rate rise) that the market is just in wait-and-see mode,” said Neil Mellor, a strategist for Bank of New York Mellon in London.

“We’ve had a number of supportive comments from the policy hawks, but they are still struggling to convince the market. The dollar is right in the middle of the recent ranges.”

At 0730 GMT, the euro traded at $1.1221. The dollar fetched 101.965 yen. Futures pricing for a rise in September was down below

China’s economy perks up in August, thanks to housing boom, gov’t spending

BEIJING - China’s factory output and retail sales grew faster than expected in August as a strong housing market and a government infrastructure spending spree underpinned growth in the world’s second-largest economy.

Industrial output grew the fastest in five months as demand for products from coal to cars rebounded, though analysts warned the outlook is clouded by weakness in manufacturing investment and a lack of spending by private firms.

“It is very clear that the data is improving because of the property market. This is not sustainable,” Commerzbank economist Zhou Hao said.

“It is a good time for China to deliver on structural reform, especially on the SOE side, to restore confidence in the economy,” he said, referring to a long-promised overhaul of the country’s often bloated and inefficient state-owned enterprises.

Improvements in August, while

modest, suggest China’s thirdquarter growth is holding up better than expected just a few months ago and likely remains within the government’s 2016 target range of 6.5-7 percent, despite the alarming drop in private investment which has left the economy more dependant on government spending.

Industrial output rose 6.3 percent in August from a year earlier, data showed on Tuesday. Analysts had expected it to pick up only slightly to 6.1 percent as many plants were closed around Hangzhou to guarantee blue skies for a G20 summit of world leaders earlier this month.

China’s steel industry, in particular, has perked up as capacity cuts and production curbs boost prices and profits, while the infrastruc-

ture spree and housing boom have spurred demand for building materials from iron beams to cement.

China’s crude steel output rose 3 percent in August from a year ago, the sixth straight monthly rise. Its biggest listed steelmaker, Baoshan Iron & Steel (Baosteel) said on Tuesday it has raised its prices for October, its eighth price hike so far this year.

Retail sales also handily beat expectations, with growth accelerating to 10.6 percent from 10.2 percent the previous month.

Analysts had forecast an increase of 10.3 percent.

Car sales have been strong in China this year, hitting a 3-1/2 year high in August as buyers rushed to get new wheels before a tax cut expires at year-end.

Trade data last week showed imports rose for the first time in nearly two years, while export declines eased. (rtr)

Indonesia’s ‘Orgasm Lady’ uses sexual empowerment to champion women’s rights

JAKARTA - Indonesian campaigner Firliana Purwanti is on a mission to tell women in her largely conservative nation that insisting on equality in the bedroom can help them achieve equal footing in boardrooms and in politics. Purwanti’s approach is unconventional in the country with the world’s largest Muslim population where open discussion of sex is largely frowned upon.

Firliana Purwanti

Dubbed the “Orgasm Lady”, Purwanti said if women are empowered enough to voice their demands in the bedroom, they are more likely to take the fight for equality outside the home. By speaking up about sex, she hopes to spark discussion on issues such as virginity tests on women who want to join the Indonesia’s military or police force and the ritual of female genital mutilation (FGM).

“Your body, your sexual pleasure is your autonomy.

The state has nothing to do with it,” said Purwanti, 39, who wrote “The O Project”, a 2010 best-selling book

documenting the sexual experiences of 16 Indonesian women. About 5,000 copies of the Indonesian-language book were snapped up by readers soon after the launch and it was translated into English last year.

Indonesia was ranked 92nd out of 145 countries in the World Economic Forum’s 2015 Gender Gap Index after scoring poorly on economic participation and opportunity with data showing 54 percent of women are in the workforce against 86 percent of men. While Indonesia’s economy has raced ahead over the past decade, critics say old-fashioned social attitudes persist and women are often subject to scrutiny about their behaviour.

As well as virginity tests and FGM remaining prevalent, Indonesia’s top court is currently hearing a petition from conservative Islamic activists lobbying to outlaw sex outside marriage. Purwanti - whose day job as a development worker includes tackling natural disasters - said her campaign is to push back against Indonesia’s obsession with virginity.

Her approach has also attracted the attention of men.

Over half her Facebook followers are male. “All this while we have been trying to engage men in women’s movement, it’s very difficult. But when it comes to sex, they are engaged immediately,” laughed Purwanti, who is working on a second book about sex and politics.

Since the 2010 book, she has been invited to share her campaign on different stages, including at the Jakarta version of popular speaker series TED Talks and by a top local cosmetics brand.

Purwanti, who is also active in the Democratic Party - one of Indonesia’s largest political parties led by ex-president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono - said her party colleagues have called her campaign “bold and wonderful”.

Recently divorced after a nine-year marriage, she plans to stand as a member of parliament in the next national elections, due in 2019, on a women’s rights platform.(rtr)

HANOI — A Vietnamese court on Monday approved a Malaysian request for the extradition of eight Indonesians suspected of hijacking a Malaysian oil tanker more than a year ago, and rejected a similar request from Indonesia, state media reported.

The online newspaper VnExpress said the People’s Court in Hanoi agreed to send the suspects to Malaysia based on laws on mutual legal assistance and criminal procedure. It said the suspects have 15 days to appeal the ruling. Court officials were not immediately available for comment.

The eight were arrested in June last year when they arrived on Tho Chu island off Vietnam’s southern coast and admitted that they had hijacked the oil tanker MT Orkim Harmony.

Vietnamese officials said at the time that the Indonesians, aged 19 to 61, initially said they encountered an accident at sea while fishing, but after questioning with information provided by Malaysian authorities, they confessed that they were responsible for the hijacking.

The ship was carrying 7.5 million liters (2 million gallons) of gasoline worth 21 million ringgit ($5.7 million) and was on its way to Kuantan in Malaysia when communication with it was lost.

In the hijacking, 13 Indonesian pirates armed with pistols and machetes took control of the tanker. Eight remained on board while the five others returned to Indonesia on their own boat, possibly to look for buyers of the gasoline. The remaining pirates then abandoned the tanker and fled to Tho Chu island on a life raft.

The International Maritime Bureau said last year that attacks on small tankers off Southeast Asia’s coasts have been rising since 2014.(ap)

Mosque where Florida nightclub shooter worshiped set on fire

AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, File

In this Thursday, Sept. 2016 file photo, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton pauses while speaking at a rally at Johnson C. Smith University, in Charlotte, N.C.

‘I didn’t think it was a big deal,’ Clinton says of pneumonia bout WASHINGTON - Democrat Hillary Clinton said on Monday she could resume presidential campaigning in a couple of days after a bout of pneumonia that she initially had not believed was “that big a deal.”

Clinton’s health scare after she almost collapsed at an event on Sunday, causing her to cancel some campaign trips, revived concerns about a tendency toward secrecy that has dogged her campaign, and underscored perennial worries about the medical fitness of candidates for one of the world’s most demanding jobs.

“Well, it will be in the next couple of days. ... I just want to get this over and done with and get back on the trail as soon as possible,” she said in an interview on CNN on Monday night, adding she had ignored doctor’s orders to rest.

“I just didn’t think it was going to be that big a deal.”

Her campaign acknowledged on

Monday it may have been too slow disclosing her pneumonia diagnosis after she nearly fainted at a New York memorial ceremony for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. She was diagnosed with the lung infection on Friday.

“I think that in retrospect, we could have handled it better in terms of providing more information more quickly,” Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon told MSNBC earlier in the day.

The health problem was the latest blow for the Democratic presidential nominee at a time when Republican rival Donald Trump has erased most of her lead in national opinion polls and is competitive again in many battleground states where the Nov. 8 election is likely

to be decided.

Clinton, 68, said she had dealt with similar episodes of dizziness before. “You know, it is something that has occurred a few times over the course of my life. I’m aware of it and usually can avoid it,” she told CNN. Asked if she passed out during the incident on Sunday, she said: “No, I didn’t. I felt dizzy and I did lose my balance for a minute. Once I got in. Once I could sit down.

Once I could cool off. Once I had some water, I immediately started feeling better.”

Her campaign said her husband, former President Bill Clinton, would campaign on her behalf while she rests.

Both Clinton and Trump, 70, said they intended to release more of their medical details in the coming days, as their campaigns gear up for the November election. (rtr)

FLORIDA - The Florida mosque where Omar Mateen, who committed the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, prayed was badly damaged on Monday in an arson attack, investigators said.

Mateen was killed by law enforcement officials after killing 49 people and wounding 53 others in a gay nightclub in Orlando in June.

Law enforcement officers received reports of flames rising from the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce, located about 100 miles (160 km) southeast of Orlando, at about 12:30 a.m. EDT (0630 GMT), St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Major David Thompson told reporters at a news conference. No one was hurt.

The attack occurred on one of the holiest Muslim holidays.

Surveillance video showed a white or Hispanic man riding up on a Harley Davidson-style motorcycle, Thompson said. The suspect got off the bike and approached the mosque carrying a bottle of liquid and papers, moments before the blaze erupted, he said.

“Immediately after the individual approached, a flash occurred and the individual fled the area,” Thompson said.

Investigators have not identified the man, who shook his hand while leaving the area of the flames, indicating that he might have burned himself, Thompson said.

At a news conference, a spokesman for the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations in Florida said the blaze was an act of hate. Ahmed Bedier, president of the civic group United Voices for America, also called for authorities to investigate it as a hate crime.

Thompson said deputies will explore whether the arson was a hate crime.

Investigators, still seeking a motive, were considering a connection with the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on Sunday, Thompson said.

Eid al-Adha, a major Muslim holiday, was being celebrated on Monday and also could have prompted the attack, Thompson said.

“For this to happen to us, on the morning of our biggest celebration of the year, was something horrific,” Hamaad Rahman, associate imam at the mosque, said at a news conference.

“Our community is bigger than a building, we are stronger than that,” he added. “Hopefully as time goes by, we will be able to rebuild.”

The mosque temporarily relocated its morning prayers for Eid al-Adha, also known as the Feast of Sacrifice.

The mosque in Fort Pierce, identified as Mateen’s place of worship, has reported threats of violence and intimidation. In June a motorcycle gang circled the center and shouted at its members, and in July a Muslim man was beaten outside the mosque.

Mateen told police in a 911 call that he had pledged allegiance to the head of the Islamic State militant group, though investigators do not believe he had help from outside organizations. (rtr)

Farah’s golds should not be devalued by Salazar accusations - Coe

Mo Farah

SINGARAJA - Pemuteran is located at the west coastal area of the Island of Bali or approximately 55 km west of Singaraja and 30 km from Gilimanuk. It lies between the cluster of hills and sea causing this village to have a very exotic panorama. Pemuteran Beach is a perfect tourist attraction for travelers favoring a quiet place and being away from the hustles and bustles.

Sea coral professionally maintained and turtle breeding project can also be encountered at this village. Although it has developed into a tourist attraction, the beach stays to show off its authenticity. Coastal communities remain to use traditional equipment such as boats and nets to carry out their daily activities. At this village lies the Pemuteran Temple being famous for its hot springs.

Meanwhile, many tourist facilities are also available ranging from budget hotels to five star hotels, restaurant and dive center can easily be found here. (IBP/net)

CALIFORNIA - Mo Farah should be respected for winning two golds at the Rio Olympics despite his coach Alberto Salazar being under investigation by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), IAAF President Sebastian Coe said.

REUTERS/Dylan Martinez

American Salazar, who has worked with Farah since 2011, was accused of violating anti-doping rules in a BBC documentary last year, including allegations he had given 2012 Olympic 10,000m silver medallist Galen Rupp the banned anabolic steroid testosterone. Farah became the only the second man to retain the 5,000m and 10,000m Olympic titles at Rio last month but his association with Salazar led to a taint of suspicion.

“There are some systems where you can’t have that presumption of innocence any more, but Mo - and I am not here as his spokesman or his defender - has made all his readings public,” Coe, who won 1500 m golds at the 1980 and 1984 Olympics, was quoted as saying by the Times newspaper.

“He is subjected to all the tests that any-

one is subjected to, and if he has had issues with his coach then you have to assume he has asked some pretty tough questions which have been answered satisfactorily to his way of thinking.”

Salazar issued a lengthy and detailed denial of the allegations last year. USADA has been investigating him but is yet to release a finding.

Farah has been exonerated by UK Athletics who found no impropriety on his part after receiving the initial findings of a review into his relationship with Salazar.

He also agreed to release blood test results going back to 2005 - against the advice of governing body the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). (rtr)

MELBOURNE - After controversially missing the Rio Olympics, Nick Kyrgios has pledged his commitment to Australia’s Davis Cup team ahead of their World Group playoff against Slovakia.

The 21-year-old firebrand withdrew himself from consideration for the Rio tennis tournament after being publicly upbraided about his conduct by team chef de mission Kitty Chiller.

Kyrgios on Tuesday was still battling to shrug off a hip injury which ended his U.S. Open campaign but trained with the team ahead of the weekend’s tie at Sydney’s Ken Rosewall Arena.

“I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t want to play,” he told reporters.

“I feel ready. I’m playing probably the best tennis I have.

“I’ve hit twice since I’ve been here and been going for about an hour to an hour and a half so it’s feeling good and I’m feeling confident with (the injury).”

World number 15 Kyrgios was named in the squad for Slovakia and if fit, will play in the singles rubbers with Bernard Tomic, who also withdrew from Rio after a public warning from Chiller.

The tennis players had a minor feud in March when Tomic questioned Kyrgios for pulling out of the World Group tie against the United States in Melbourne due to a “flu-like illness”.

On Tuesday, each moved to allay concerns about any lingering bad blood.

“He’s a great player, with great potential and doing great things,” Kyrgios said of world number 21 Tomic, who crashed out of the U.S. Open in the first round and was heavily fined for a crude outburst directed at a heckler in the crowd. Tomic said he and Kyrgios would be in Davis Cup for the long haul.

Sp rt Abby Wambach: I abused alcohol, prescription drugs for years

Abby Wambach says she abused alcohol and prescription drugs for years until her arrest for driving under the influence in April. “I was stubborn and I was in denial,” soccer’s most prolific international goal scorer told The Associated Press in a phone interview. “I didn’t want to face the truth.”

In “Forward,” her memoir set for release on Tuesday, the retired U.S. national team star recounts her career, from the lows of losing her high school championship to the highs of winning the Women’s World Cup last year. She also chronicles her high-profile marriage to fellow soccer player Sarah Huffman and the struggles they faced.

And she tells of her bouts with vodka and pills, which included Vicodin, Ambien and Adderall. Chapters in the book are words that she has been labeled: tomboy, captain, lesbian, and yes, addict.

“That night getting arrested was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Because if I don’t get so publicly shamed and publicly humiliated, I don’t think I wake up,” she said as she prepared for a book tour. “I think I was asleep for a lot of years. Asleep to the pleas from my family and friends, and even myself, to get help. So that night I was humiliated enough to wake up.”

With 184 goals, Wambach is the leading career scorer — male or female — in international soccer. She retired in December after 15 years with the U.S. women’s national team.

She says she has been sober since the night she was pulled over in Portland, Oregon, after dinner with friends.

It was her rock bottom: Her mugshot was everywhere the next morning. This was not what she imagined her legacy to be.

Wambach said that night was a culmination of events as her life spiraled out of control. Her marriage was on the rocks, she was wrestling with her retirement and her direction, and she had just taken a new job with ESPN. She issued a statement on Facebook after she was released from jail the next morning, taking full responsibility for her actions and apologizing to her friends, family and fans. In the aftermath, MINI USA withdrew her from its advertising.

She pleaded guilty, agreeing to enter a diversion program for first-time offenders that included treatment.

In the book, she never pins down a moment that alcohol and drugs started to become a problem. Like so many who have shared her experience, it developed over time. Those closest to her tried to reach out, including Huffman, fellow national team player Sydney Leroux and friend Kara Mirarchi.

“Not only was I hiding this secret from the world for so long, so were the people that I loved — they loved me so fiercely they wanted to protect me as much as possible, almost from myself. Sarah was definitely one of my saving graces because she was one of the first people in my life who made me aware of the problems that I was having,” Wambach said. “And this was years

ago. This isn’t something that just snuck up on me when I retired from soccer. This is something I’ve been dealing with for years now.”

Wambach capped her illustrious career with the sport’s most prestigious championship when the United States defeated Japan 5-2 in Canada last summer for the Women’s World Cup. It was the third World Cup title for the U.S. women and first since 1999.

The FIFA World Player of the Year in 2012, Wambach appeared in four World Cups with the national team.

She also has a pair of Olympic gold medals from the 2004 Games in Athens and the 2012 Games in London.

She did not compete in the Beijing Games because of a broken leg.

Wambach announced her retirement last October and played her last match with the team in December, a 1-0 victory tour loss to China in New Orleans. She said she looks back at pictures from that game and her eyes seem hollow.

Wambach became more active tackling social and political issues in the later years of her career, and has been outspoken about gender equity in particular. She led a group of players in protesting FIFA’s decision to play the 2015 World Cup on artificial turf, which is considered by many to be inferior to grass.

In retirement, she has campaigned for Hillary Clinton for president. She also has a weekly podcast and other work for ESPN. But most importantly, she’s working on becoming a “whole human being” now that she’s not numbing herself.

Wambach and Huffman, whose kiss following the World Cup victory became one of the most memorable photos of the tournament, could not work out their differences and are divorcing.

In her interview with the AP, Wambach was far less guarded than she’d been in past conversations. After earlier this year proclaiming “I don’t get nervous,” her emotions were more on the surface as she sincerely admitted her foibles.

“It’s really hard to talk about things when you’re ashamed,” she said. “And I’m not ashamed about what happened to me anymore because it led me to where I’m at right now. I’m proud of where I’m at.” (ap)

UEFA presidential favorite criticizes Champions League deal

ATHENS — The favorite to become UEFA president has criticized the secret deal - accelerated ahead of Wednesday’s election - guaranteeing four Champions League group-stage places for Europe’s top four leagues.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Aleksander Ceferin expressed frustration UEFA caved into the demands of powerful clubs from Spain, Germany, England, and Italy.

Those countries are guaranteed 16 Champions League places from 2018-21, rather than 11 currently — squeezing teams from lower-ranked leagues like Ceferin’s Slovenia.

“The problem is we didn’t know anything that was going on — that shouldn’t happen again,” Ceferin said in Athens on Tuesday. “It’s not frustrating just for me; it’s frustrating for all 55 national associations.

“The process was not OK because it was not communicated well. Nobody knew what is going on. There was a group who decided, and the lack of communication is the main problem why clubs and national associations are mad now.”

The current qualification system, which makes one of the teams from the English Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Serie A contest a playoff to reach the Champions League group stage, is the “ideal model,” Ceferin said.

But UEFA announced in August the new deal, which assists more powerful teams, after months of talks with the influential European Club Association, whose members raised a longstanding threat of breaking away to form a closed Super League dominated by the rich and storied elite.

Ceferin, who is seeking to complete the presidential term of the banned Michel Platini until 2019, warned that “any Super League is out of the question.”

“It is a bargaining chip,” said Ceferin, the Slovenian federation president. “I am sure they do not want to leave UEFA and UEFA’s competitions. It would be boring to play in some closed league and it will mean war with UEFA. “They pushed it more because we didn’t have any leadership and that was a problem with UEFA. But at the same time they are very important stakeholders, they bring a lot of money to UEFA, and we have to sit down with them — 55 associations and clubs — and talk about how we should do it in the future.”

An ECA document obtained by the AP said “UEFA accelerated the process” in part to “avoid interference with UEFA presidential election process (do not allow the topic to be subject of political capture).”

The presidential election in Athens is down to a contest between Ceferin and 68-year-old UEFA vice president Michael van Praag of the Netherlands. The 48-year-old Ceferin said he has the backing of 32 of UEFA’s 55 members to succeed Platini, who has been suspended from UEFA duties since October.

“UEFA is not very broken — public opinion is worse than actually UEFA is,” Ceferin said. “We have to work on transparency. We have to adopt term limits for presidents and ExCo (executive committee) members because you cannot stay in a certain position for 20 years. We have seen in the recent past what is happening if you are there for too long. You think you own the organization.” (ap)

SUNDERLAND — Romelu Lukaku fired an 11-minute hat trick to end his 11-game Premier League scoring drought in style as Everton beat Sunderland 3-0 on Monday.

The Belgium striker struck with 60th and 68th-minute headers and then completed his hat trick with 19 minutes remaining at the Stadium

of Light to condemn former Toffees boss David Moyes to a third defeat in four matches this season.

Sunderland might have taken a 10th-minute lead when Adnan Januzaj’s shot was blocked and looped perfectly into the path of Jermain Defoe, who sent his firsttime volley over the bar.

Lukaku broke through for Ever-

ton when Idrissa Gueye crossed from the right and he rose unopposed to head past Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

The Belgian rattled the crossbar after turning smartly four minutes later, but made sure of victory when summer signing Yannick Bolasie picked him out unmarked at the far post.

The home side’s misery was complete in the 71st when Lukaku helped himself to a third after Kevin Mirallas had played him through on Pickford.

Revitalized under Ronald Koeman, unbeaten Everton has 10 points, the same as secondplaced Chelsea. Sunderland is 19th with a single point. (ap)

Tottenham to face Monaco at Wembley Stadium

LONDON — Tottenham will open its Champions League campaign against Monaco in London, just not at White Hart Lane.

Part of Tottenham’s home stadium is currently undergoing construction work, with a section being demolished to make room for a new stadium opening in 2018 adjacent to White Hart Lane. The ground has been deemed unsuitable to host Champions League matches so, although the team is still playing its Premier League games at home, Tottenham will move to Wembley for European action.

“It’s going to be an amazing atmosphere and the lads cannot wait to play (on Wednesday),” Tottenham striker Harry Kane said, who

broke a nine-match goal drought in Tottenham’s 4-0 victory over Stoke on Saturday.

Wembley has been used as a temporary Champions League stadium in the past. London rival Arsenal was forced to play at Wembley during the 1998-99 and 1999-00 seasons because its former Highbury Stadium did not have a large enough capacity.

Arsenal’s record over those two seasons may well worry Spurs fans.

Arsenal won only two of its six games at Wembley over the two campaigns, failing to progress from its group on both occasions.

Besides Kane, Tottenham teammates Dele Alli and Eric Dier also

have Wembley experience as part of the English national team.

Tottenham last appeared in the Champions League in the 2010-11 season, reaching the quarterfinals before losing to Real Madrid.

During that campaign, Tottenham defeated Inter Milan and AC Milan, but it was Gareth Bale’s hat trick in the away loss to Inter that was one of the highlights of the tournament.

Tottenham has played in the Europa League every season since then, but is back in the Champions League after challenging for the Premier League title last season under manager Mauricio Pochettino. (ap)

Sp rt Abby Wambach: I abused alcohol, prescription drugs for years

Abby Wambach says she abused alcohol and prescription drugs for years until her arrest for driving under the influence in April. “I was stubborn and I was in denial,” soccer’s most prolific international goal scorer told The Associated Press in a phone interview. “I didn’t want to face the truth.”

In “Forward,” her memoir set for release on Tuesday, the retired U.S. national team star recounts her career, from the lows of losing her high school championship to the highs of winning the Women’s World Cup last year. She also chronicles her high-profile marriage to fellow soccer player Sarah Huffman and the struggles they faced.

And she tells of her bouts with vodka and pills, which included Vicodin, Ambien and Adderall. Chapters in the book are words that she has been labeled: tomboy, captain, lesbian, and yes, addict.

“That night getting arrested was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Because if I don’t get so publicly shamed and publicly humiliated, I don’t think I wake up,” she said as she prepared for a book tour. “I think I was asleep for a lot of years. Asleep to the pleas from my family and friends, and even myself, to get help. So that night I was humiliated enough to wake up.”

With 184 goals, Wambach is the leading career scorer — male or female — in international soccer. She retired in December after 15 years with the U.S. women’s national team.

She says she has been sober since the night she was pulled over in Portland, Oregon, after dinner with friends.

It was her rock bottom: Her mugshot was everywhere the next morning. This was not what she imagined her legacy to be.

Wambach said that night was a culmination of events as her life spiraled out of control. Her marriage was on the rocks, she was wrestling with her retirement and her direction, and she had just taken a new job with ESPN. She issued a statement on Facebook after she was released from jail the next morning, taking full responsibility for her actions and apologizing to her friends, family and fans. In the aftermath, MINI USA withdrew her from its advertising.

She pleaded guilty, agreeing to enter a diversion program for first-time offenders that included treatment.

In the book, she never pins down a moment that alcohol and drugs started to become a problem. Like so many who have shared her experience, it developed over time. Those closest to her tried to reach out, including Huffman, fellow national team player Sydney Leroux and friend Kara Mirarchi.

“Not only was I hiding this secret from the world for so long, so were the people that I loved — they loved me so fiercely they wanted to protect me as much as possible, almost from myself. Sarah was definitely one of my saving graces because she was one of the first people in my life who made me aware of the problems that I was having,” Wambach said. “And this was years

ago. This isn’t something that just snuck up on me when I retired from soccer. This is something I’ve been dealing with for years now.”

Wambach capped her illustrious career with the sport’s most prestigious championship when the United States defeated Japan 5-2 in Canada last summer for the Women’s World Cup. It was the third World Cup title for the U.S. women and first since 1999.

The FIFA World Player of the Year in 2012, Wambach appeared in four World Cups with the national team.

She also has a pair of Olympic gold medals from the 2004 Games in Athens and the 2012 Games in London.

She did not compete in the Beijing Games because of a broken leg.

Wambach announced her retirement last October and played her last match with the team in December, a 1-0 victory tour loss to China in New Orleans. She said she looks back at pictures from that game and her eyes seem hollow.

Wambach became more active tackling social and political issues in the later years of her career, and has been outspoken about gender equity in particular. She led a group of players in protesting FIFA’s decision to play the 2015 World Cup on artificial turf, which is considered by many to be inferior to grass.

In retirement, she has campaigned for Hillary Clinton for president. She also has a weekly podcast and other work for ESPN. But most importantly, she’s working on becoming a “whole human being” now that she’s not numbing herself.

Wambach and Huffman, whose kiss following the World Cup victory became one of the most memorable photos of the tournament, could not work out their differences and are divorcing.

In her interview with the AP, Wambach was far less guarded than she’d been in past conversations. After earlier this year proclaiming “I don’t get nervous,” her emotions were more on the surface as she sincerely admitted her foibles.

“It’s really hard to talk about things when you’re ashamed,” she said. “And I’m not ashamed about what happened to me anymore because it led me to where I’m at right now. I’m proud of where I’m at.” (ap)

11-minute hat trick for Lukaku; Everton beats Sunderland 3-0

UEFA presidential favorite criticizes Champions League deal

ATHENS — The favorite to become UEFA president has criticized the secret deal - accelerated ahead of Wednesday’s election - guaranteeing four Champions League group-stage places for Europe’s top four leagues.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Aleksander Ceferin expressed frustration UEFA caved into the demands of powerful clubs from Spain, Germany, England, and Italy.

Those countries are guaranteed 16 Champions League places from 2018-21, rather than 11 currently — squeezing teams from lower-ranked leagues like Ceferin’s Slovenia.

“The problem is we didn’t know anything that was going on — that shouldn’t happen again,” Ceferin said in Athens on Tuesday. “It’s not frustrating just for me; it’s frustrating for all 55 national associations.

Farah’s golds should not be devalued by Salazar accusations - Coe

Mo Farah

SINGARAJA - Pemuteran is located at the west coastal area of the Island of Bali or approximately 55 km west of Singaraja and 30 km from Gilimanuk. It lies between the cluster of hills and sea causing this village to have a very exotic panorama. Pemuteran Beach is a perfect tourist attraction for travelers favoring a quiet place and being away from the hustles and bustles.

Sea coral professionally maintained and turtle breeding project can also be encountered at this village. Although it has developed into a tourist attraction, the beach stays to show off its authenticity. Coastal communities remain to use traditional equipment such as boats and nets to carry out their daily activities. At this village lies the Pemuteran Temple being famous for its hot springs.

Meanwhile, many tourist facilities are also available ranging from budget hotels to five star hotels, restaurant and dive center can easily be found here. (IBP/net)

CALIFORNIA - Mo Farah should be respected for winning two golds at the Rio Olympics despite his coach Alberto Salazar being under investigation by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), IAAF President Sebastian Coe said.

REUTERS/Dylan Martinez

American Salazar, who has worked with Farah since 2011, was accused of violating anti-doping rules in a BBC documentary last year, including allegations he had given 2012 Olympic 10,000m silver medallist Galen Rupp the banned anabolic steroid testosterone. Farah became the only the second man to retain the 5,000m and 10,000m Olympic titles at Rio last month but his association with Salazar led to a taint of suspicion.

“There are some systems where you can’t have that presumption of innocence any more, but Mo - and I am not here as his spokesman or his defender - has made all his readings public,” Coe, who won 1500 m golds at the 1980 and 1984 Olympics, was quoted as saying by the Times newspaper.

“He is subjected to all the tests that any-

one is subjected to, and if he has had issues with his coach then you have to assume he has asked some pretty tough questions which have been answered satisfactorily to his way of thinking.”

Salazar issued a lengthy and detailed denial of the allegations last year. USADA has been investigating him but is yet to release a finding.

Farah has been exonerated by UK Athletics who found no impropriety on his part after receiving the initial findings of a review into his relationship with Salazar.

He also agreed to release blood test results going back to 2005 - against the advice of governing body the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). (rtr)

MELBOURNE - After controversially missing the Rio Olympics, Nick Kyrgios has pledged his commitment to Australia’s Davis Cup team ahead of their World Group playoff against Slovakia.

The 21-year-old firebrand withdrew himself from consideration for the Rio tennis tournament after being publicly upbraided about his conduct by team chef de mission Kitty Chiller.

Kyrgios on Tuesday was still battling to shrug off a hip injury which ended his U.S. Open campaign but trained with the team ahead of the weekend’s tie at Sydney’s Ken Rosewall Arena.

“I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t want to play,” he told reporters.

“I feel ready. I’m playing probably the best tennis I have.

“I’ve hit twice since I’ve been here and been going for about an hour to an hour and a half so it’s feeling good and I’m feeling confident with (the injury).”

World number 15 Kyrgios was named in the squad for Slovakia and if fit, will play in the singles rubbers with Bernard Tomic, who also withdrew from Rio after a public warning from Chiller.

The tennis players had a minor feud in March when Tomic questioned Kyrgios for pulling out of the World Group tie against the United States in Melbourne due to a “flu-like illness”.

On Tuesday, each moved to allay concerns about any lingering bad blood.

“He’s a great player, with great potential and doing great things,” Kyrgios said of world number 21 Tomic, who crashed out of the U.S. Open in the first round and was heavily fined for a crude outburst directed at a heckler in the crowd. Tomic said he and Kyrgios would be in Davis Cup for the long haul.

We’re excited and I’m sure everyone else is and I’m sure it’s something that has many more Nick Kyrgios of Australia hits a forehand against Ilya Marchenko of Ukraine (not pictured) on day six of the 2016 U.S. Open tennis tournament at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. years to come.” (rtr)

Mosque where Florida nightclub shooter worshiped set on fire

In this Thursday, Sept. 2016 file photo, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton pauses while speaking at a rally at Johnson C. Smith University, in Charlotte, N.C.

‘I didn’t think it was a big deal,’ Clinton says of pneumonia bout WASHINGTON - Democrat Hillary Clinton said on Monday she could resume presidential campaigning in a couple of days after a bout of pneumonia that she initially had not believed was “that big a deal.”

Clinton’s health scare after she almost collapsed at an event on Sunday, causing her to cancel some campaign trips, revived concerns about a tendency toward secrecy that has dogged her campaign, and underscored perennial worries about the medical fitness of candidates for one of the world’s most demanding jobs.

“Well, it will be in the next couple of days. ... I just want to get this over and done with and get back on the trail as soon as possible,” she said in an interview on CNN on Monday night, adding she had ignored doctor’s orders to rest.

“I just didn’t think it was going to be that big a deal.”

Her campaign acknowledged on

Monday it may have been too slow disclosing her pneumonia diagnosis after she nearly fainted at a New York memorial ceremony for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. She was diagnosed with the lung infection on Friday.

“I think that in retrospect, we could have handled it better in terms of providing more information more quickly,” Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon told MSNBC earlier in the day.

The health problem was the latest blow for the Democratic presidential nominee at a time when Republican rival Donald Trump has erased most of her lead in national opinion polls and is competitive again in many battleground states where the Nov. 8 election is likely

to be decided.

Clinton, 68, said she had dealt with similar episodes of dizziness before. “You know, it is something that has occurred a few times over the course of my life. I’m aware of it and usually can avoid it,” she told CNN. Asked if she passed out during the incident on Sunday, she said: “No, I didn’t. I felt dizzy and I did lose my balance for a minute. Once I got in. Once I could sit down.

Once I could cool off. Once I had some water, I immediately started feeling better.”

Her campaign said her husband, former President Bill Clinton, would campaign on her behalf while she rests.

Both Clinton and Trump, 70, said they intended to release more of their medical details in the coming days, as their campaigns gear up for the November election. (rtr)

FLORIDA - The Florida mosque where Omar Mateen, who committed the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, prayed was badly damaged on Monday in an arson attack, investigators said.

Mateen was killed by law enforcement officials after killing 49 people and wounding 53 others in a gay nightclub in Orlando in June.

Law enforcement officers received reports of flames rising from the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce, located about 100 miles (160 km) southeast of Orlando, at about 12:30 a.m. EDT (0630 GMT), St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Major David Thompson told reporters at a news conference. No one was hurt.

The attack occurred on one of the holiest Muslim holidays.

Surveillance video showed a white or Hispanic man riding up on a Harley Davidson-style motorcycle, Thompson said. The suspect got off the bike and approached the mosque carrying a bottle of liquid and papers, moments before the blaze erupted, he said.

“Immediately after the individual approached, a flash occurred and the individual fled the area,” Thompson said.

Investigators have not identified the man, who shook his hand while leaving the area of the flames, indicating that he might have burned himself, Thompson said.

At a news conference, a spokesman for the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations in Florida said the blaze was an act of hate. Ahmed Bedier, president of the civic group United Voices for America, also called for authorities to investigate it as a hate crime.

Thompson said deputies will explore whether the arson was a hate crime.

Investigators, still seeking a motive, were considering a connection with the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on Sunday, Thompson said.

Eid al-Adha, a major Muslim holiday, was being celebrated on Monday and also could have prompted the attack, Thompson said.

“For this to happen to us, on the morning of our biggest celebration of the year, was something horrific,” Hamaad Rahman, associate imam at the mosque, said at a news conference.

“Our community is bigger than a building, we are stronger than that,” he added. “Hopefully as time goes by, we will be able to rebuild.”

The mosque temporarily relocated its morning prayers for Eid al-Adha, also known as the Feast of Sacrifice.

The mosque in Fort Pierce, identified as Mateen’s place of worship, has reported threats of violence and intimidation. In June a motorcycle gang circled the center and shouted at its members, and in July a Muslim man was beaten outside the mosque.

Mateen told police in a 911 call that he had pledged allegiance to the head of the Islamic State militant group, though investigators do not believe he had help from outside organizations. (rtr)

“We can stick with our main scenario that the Fed won’t raise rates in September,” said Koichi Yoshikawa, executive director of finance at Standard Chartered Bank’s Tokyo branch. “All the talk about a possible rate hike in September turned out to be noise.”

Fed Funds rate futures <0#FF:> are now pricing in only about a 15 percent chance of a hike at the meeting on Sept 20-21, according to CME Group’s FedWatch Tool.

That was down from about 35 percent in late August, when some Fed officials openly discussed the possibility.

While Brainard’s comments also played in to a generally more upbeat mood on stock markets, a fall in oil prices kept the Australian, Canadian and New Zealand dollars under pressure, with all three down more than half a percent.

Those currencies are closely linked to investors’ appetite for risk globally and have done well since the easing of some concerns over China at the end of January. But the mood has been shakier in the past month.

Dollar recovers after Fed’s Brainard quells rate rise chatter LONDON - The dollar recovered in early European trade on Tuesday, having dipped the previous day following a speech by Federal Reserve policymaker Lael Brainard that solidified the view that U.S. interest rates are unlikely to rise this month.

There had been much speculation among traders that the speech

by Brainard, announced at the last minute before the U.S. central bank’s pre-meeting blackout period, could see one of its most convinced policy doves flip to support monetary tightening.

In the event, she instead warned against the Fed removing support for the economy too quickly, knocking the greenback half a cent lower. The effect had faded by the start of European trade and the dollar was 0.1 percent higher against both the yen and the euro and 0.2 percent against a basket of currencies.

“We’ve had so much information and misinformation (on the chances of a rate rise) that the market is just in wait-and-see mode,” said Neil Mellor, a strategist for Bank of New York Mellon in London.

“We’ve had a number of supportive comments from the policy hawks, but they are still struggling to convince the market. The dollar is right in the middle of the recent ranges.”

At 0730 GMT, the euro traded at $1.1221. The dollar fetched 101.965 yen. Futures pricing for a rise in September was down below

China’s economy perks up in August, thanks to housing boom, gov’t spending

BEIJING - China’s factory output and retail sales grew faster than expected in August as a strong housing market and a government infrastructure spending spree underpinned growth in the world’s second-largest economy.

Industrial output grew the fastest in five months as demand for products from coal to cars rebounded, though analysts warned the outlook is clouded by weakness in manufacturing investment and a lack of spending by private firms.

“It is very clear that the data is improving because of the property market. This is not sustainable,” Commerzbank economist Zhou Hao said.

“It is a good time for China to deliver on structural reform, especially on the SOE side, to restore confidence in the economy,” he said, referring to a long-promised overhaul of the country’s often bloated and inefficient state-owned enterprises.

Improvements in August, while

modest, suggest China’s thirdquarter growth is holding up better than expected just a few months ago and likely remains within the government’s 2016 target range of 6.5-7 percent, despite the alarming drop in private investment which has left the economy more dependant on government spending.

Industrial output rose 6.3 percent in August from a year earlier, data showed on Tuesday. Analysts had expected it to pick up only slightly to 6.1 percent as many plants were closed around Hangzhou to guarantee blue skies for a G20 summit of world leaders earlier this month.

China’s steel industry, in particular, has perked up as capacity cuts and production curbs boost prices and profits, while the infrastruc-

ture spree and housing boom have spurred demand for building materials from iron beams to cement.

China’s crude steel output rose 3 percent in August from a year ago, the sixth straight monthly rise. Its biggest listed steelmaker, Baoshan Iron & Steel (Baosteel) said on Tuesday it has raised its prices for October, its eighth price hike so far this year.

Retail sales also handily beat expectations, with growth accelerating to 10.6 percent from 10.2 percent the previous month.

Analysts had forecast an increase of 10.3 percent.

Car sales have been strong in China this year, hitting a 3-1/2 year high in August as buyers rushed to get new wheels before a tax cut expires at year-end.

Trade data last week showed imports rose for the first time in nearly two years, while export declines eased. (rtr)

Indonesia’s ‘Orgasm Lady’ uses sexual empowerment to champion women’s rights

JAKARTA - Indonesian campaigner Firliana Purwanti is on a mission to tell women in her largely conservative nation that insisting on equality in the bedroom can help them achieve equal footing in boardrooms and in politics. Purwanti’s approach is unconventional in the country with the world’s largest Muslim population where open discussion of sex is largely frowned upon.

Firliana Purwanti

Dubbed the “Orgasm Lady”, Purwanti said if women are empowered enough to voice their demands in the bedroom, they are more likely to take the fight for equality outside the home. By speaking up about sex, she hopes to spark discussion on issues such as virginity tests on women who want to join the Indonesia’s military or police force and the ritual of female genital mutilation (FGM).

“Your body, your sexual pleasure is your autonomy.

The state has nothing to do with it,” said Purwanti, 39, who wrote “The O Project”, a 2010 best-selling book

documenting the sexual experiences of 16 Indonesian women. About 5,000 copies of the Indonesian-language book were snapped up by readers soon after the launch and it was translated into English last year.

Indonesia was ranked 92nd out of 145 countries in the World Economic Forum’s 2015 Gender Gap Index after scoring poorly on economic participation and opportunity with data showing 54 percent of women are in the workforce against 86 percent of men. While Indonesia’s economy has raced ahead over the past decade, critics say old-fashioned social attitudes persist and women are often subject to scrutiny about their behaviour.

As well as virginity tests and FGM remaining prevalent, Indonesia’s top court is currently hearing a petition from conservative Islamic activists lobbying to outlaw sex outside marriage. Purwanti - whose day job as a development worker includes tackling natural disasters - said her campaign is to push back against Indonesia’s obsession with virginity.

Her approach has also attracted the attention of men.

Over half her Facebook followers are male. “All this while we have been trying to engage men in women’s movement, it’s very difficult. But when it comes to sex, they are engaged immediately,” laughed Purwanti, who is working on a second book about sex and politics.

Since the 2010 book, she has been invited to share her campaign on different stages, including at the Jakarta version of popular speaker series TED Talks and by a top local cosmetics brand.

Purwanti, who is also active in the Democratic Party - one of Indonesia’s largest political parties led by ex-president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono - said her party colleagues have called her campaign “bold and wonderful”.

Recently divorced after a nine-year marriage, she plans to stand as a member of parliament in the next national elections, due in 2019, on a women’s rights platform.(rtr)

HANOI — A Vietnamese court on Monday approved a Malaysian request for the extradition of eight Indonesians suspected of hijacking a Malaysian oil tanker more than a year ago, and rejected a similar request from Indonesia, state media reported.

The online newspaper VnExpress said the People’s Court in Hanoi agreed to send the suspects to Malaysia based on laws on mutual legal assistance and criminal procedure. It said the suspects have 15 days to appeal the ruling. Court officials were not immediately available for comment.

The eight were arrested in June last year when they arrived on Tho Chu island off Vietnam’s southern coast and admitted that they had hijacked the oil tanker MT Orkim Harmony.

Vietnamese officials said at the time that the Indonesians, aged 19 to 61, initially said they encountered an accident at sea while fishing, but after questioning with information provided by Malaysian authorities, they confessed that they were responsible for the hijacking.

The ship was carrying 7.5 million liters (2 million gallons) of gasoline worth 21 million ringgit ($5.7 million) and was on its way to Kuantan in Malaysia when communication with it was lost.

In the hijacking, 13 Indonesian pirates armed with pistols and machetes took control of the tanker. Eight remained on board while the five others returned to Indonesia on their own boat, possibly to look for buyers of the gasoline. The remaining pirates then abandoned the tanker and fled to Tho Chu island on a life raft.

The International Maritime Bureau said last year that attacks on small tankers off Southeast Asia’s coasts have been rising since 2014.(ap)

South Badung faces water crisis

Arrests spark clashes at Chinese ‘democracy’ village: Hong Kong media, residents

A proposal emerges to take advantage of seawater

US bombers fly over S.Korea in show of force after nuclear test

HONG KONG - Clashes erupted in a Chinese village known for its grassroots push for democracy after at least 13 people were arrested by the police in pre-dawn raids on Tuesday, according to Hong Kong media and residents.

The raids in Wukan fishing village, in the southeast province of Guangdong, came less than a week after a popular and democratically elected village chief, Lin Zuluan, was sentenced to three years imprisonment on graft and other charges.

One person in touch with relatives in Wukan told Reuters between 300-400 police were involved in the raids, and many villagers were injured.

The person added the village was now in police lockdown, and that internet connections were down.

Videos obtained by Hong Kong’s RTHK from villagers show hundreds of police in riot gear confronting at least several dozen villagers marching with Chinese national flags on Tuesday morning.

The Hong Kong government-funded radio station and website reported that the police had used tear gas and rubber bullets in the operation. Photos on social media purporting to be from Wukan showed villagers with wounds that appeared to be from rubber bullets.

The RTHK footage also showed villages throwing rocks at huddled ranks of police equipped with riot shields.

One video obtained by RTHK shows a loud bang and a flash going off near dozens of policemen huddled in formation behind shields.

Reuters cannot independently verify the authenticity of the videos.

The official microblog of Lufeng county police, which oversees Wukan, stated in a post on Tuesday the suspects had been organizing illegal assemblies and used threats to force villagers to join since June 19, a day after Lin was detained.

Since mid June, thousands of people in the village participated in a series of marches to protest Lin’s arrest. (rtr)

further sanctions.

“Both sides think that North Korea’s nuclear test is not beneficial to peace and stability on the Korean peninsula,” China’s official People’s Daily newspaper said on Tuesday following a high-level China-Russia security meeting in Beijing.

“At present, we must work hard to prevent the situation on the peninsula continuing to escalate, and put the issue of the nuclearisation of the peninsula back on the track of dialogue and consultation,” it said.

The pair of U.S. supersonic B-1B Lancer strategic bombers took off from their base in Guam and flew with two Japan Air Self Defense Force aircraft before a “hand-off” to South Korean fighters, according to the U.S. military.

The B-1Bs were then escorted

by South Korean and U.S. fighter jets in a low-altitude flight over Osan Air Base, which is 77 km (48 miles) from the Demilitarised Zone border with the North and about 40 km (25 miles) from the South’s capital Seoul.

The issue on clean water crisis in South Badung district emerged again within the past few days. Other than the water flow of the Municipality Waterworks (PDAM) frequently stagnates, the other issue such as the muddy water is also experienced by residents.

Ekarini, one of the residents at the Nuansa Udayana housing complex, Taman Griya, stated that PDAM water often stopped within the past few days. Such condition also occurred ahead of Galungan.

“Ahead of Galungan, the PDAM water stopped for the whole day. So, it was very disturbing when going to say prayers,” she said.

Emergence of clean water crisis issue in South Badung also resulted in disappointment of Made Sumerta, a community figure who is also a legislator in the Badung House of Representatives, when met on Monday (Sep. 12). He was deeply disappointed with such condition because he considered the water problem has occurred since three years ago and has not been resolved until now. “It is not quite disappointed, but very disappointed,” he said.

Sumerta affirmed that the PDAM should more focus in dealing with this issue so that it can be resolved completely. When asked about the constraints of insufficient raw

water, this PDI-P politician precisely assessed it somewhat funny.

According to him, it should have been anticipated from the very beginning.

“I think during a meeting with us in the parliament it was said there is no problem regarding the raw water. On that account, it just needs to prepare the utilities. Now, why is it said to have a problem regarding the raw water?” he asked.

Although he admitted that it is currently indeed dry season, but it already rained earlier and it should be taken advantage well. Moreover, the incident appeared when people were preoccupied with ceremonial activities requiring adequate water supplies.

He suggested the PDAM to come down more diligently and make a mapping considering that construction of housing in South Kuta runs very rapidly so that it should prepare the infrastructure and facilities.

To that end, he suggested to make use of seawater and process

He realized if this process needs high costs. However, it is one of the solutions to this problem continuing to occur. “In the past, it was said to need huge funds for utilities,

but after we agreed the problem emerges in terms of raw water, how can this happen?” he asked.

Previously, Managing Director of PDAM, Made Subargayasa, indeed recognized if this condition happened due decreasing raw water

supply. One of them is the drought at the estuary dam supplying the clean water for South Kuta. To that end, he hoped the public to be patient because the company is seeking a solution to resolve this problem. (kmb23)

initials KA, 23, on Jalan Pratama, Benoa, South Kuta, Saturday (Sep. 3) with evidence of 16 packages of crystal meth.

Deputy Chief of Denpasar Police, Nyoman Artana, accompanied by Chief of Drug Investigation Unit Gede Ganefo said on Monday (Sep. 12) that the officers initially arrested two drivers consisting of WS, 34, and MS, 36, frequently holding a feast of crystal meth. The arrest was made at the home of MS on Jalan Tepisiring, Tuban, Badung. The suspect MS admitted to buy the crystal meth from PAS at IDR 500,000. The transaction was committed directly at a discotheque in the Kuta area.

Based on confession of the suspect, the officers managed to arrest PAS, 33, working as a driver on Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai, Taman Mumbul in South Kuta. Police seized a package of crystal meth.

“The suspect PAS claimed to have received the crystal meth from KAW. He was told to deliver the crystal meth order with a wage of IDR 50,000 per package. The suspect could have distributed a total of 13 packages,” he said.

Another syndicate member of KAW, KA

with the status as college student was also arrested by the officers on Jalan Pratama, South Kuta on Saturday at 20:00. He admitted to get the crystal meth from KAW. In addition, he was also ordered to deliver crystal meth package with uncertain wage.

“KA admitted to have consumed crystal meth for a month and has never been punished,” said Ganefo.

After that, it was the turn of KAW, 25, working as a hotel employee arrested on Jalan Pratama. In addition, the officers also seized 22 packages of crystal meth as evidence. The suspect claimed to obtain crystal meth from D at Kerobokan Prison for IDR 16.5 million.

If he can sell out the crystal meth, he will get profit as much as IDR 5 million. In addition, he claimed to have bought the illicit goods from D for eight times.

After developing the case, it was the turn of consumer of KAW, namely NT, 22, arrested on Jalan Pratama, Benoa. At that time, NT received two packages of crystal meth from KAW. “We will intensify the investigation to South Kuta. Circulation of drugs in the region is increasingly widespread,” he said. (kmb36)

SEOUL - Two U.S. B-1 bombers flew over South Korea on Tuesday in a show of force and solidarity with its ally after North Korea’s nuclear test last week, while a U.S. envoy called for a swift and strong response to Pyongyang from the United Nations.

Speaking in the South Korean capital on Tuesday, Sung Kim, the U.S. envoy on North Korea, added that the United States remained open to meaningful dialogue with Pyongyang on ending its pursuit of nuclear weapons.

“Our intention is to secure the strongest possible (U.N. Security Council) resolution that includes new sanctions as quickly as possible,” Kim told a news briefing after meeting his South Korean counterpart.

He said the United States would work with China, North Korea’s major diplomatic ally, to close loopholes in existing resolutions, which were tightened with Beijing’s backing in March.

“China has been very clear that they understand the need for a new U.N. security council resolution in response to the latest North Korean nuclear test,” Kim said.

However, China and Russia, which strongly oppose a recent decision by the United States and South Korea to deploy an advanced anti-missile system in the South to counter the North’s missile threat, have shown reluctance to back

solidarity between South Korea, the United States, and Japan to defend against North Korea’s provocative and destabilising actions,” said Admiral Harry Harris, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command.

North Korea’s official KCNA news agency said public anger was “exploding like a volcano” over Washington’s dispatch of bombers to South Korea.

“Any sanction, provocation and pressure cannot ruin our status as a nuclear state and evil political and military provocations will only result in a flood of reckless nuclear attacks that will bring a final destruction,” KCNA said.

China urged restraint among all parties. “If there is a vicious cycle of tensions continuing to rise and mutual provocations, this is not in anyone’s interests,” Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a daily briefing.

North Korea’s weapons enhancements, including the testing of various types of missiles this year at an unprecedented rate, have alarmed neighbours South Korea and Japan.

South Korean President Park Geun-hye maintained her tough stance against the North.

The two Koreas remain technically at war after their 1950-53 conflict ended in a truce, not a peace treaty. (rtr)

New wheelchair lets you cruise through town standing

YOQNEAM- Israeli technology start-up UPnRIDE Robotics is launching an innovative upright, self-stabilizing wheelchair at a medical conference in Germany next month and the company hopes the device will hit the market next year.

Before then, UPnRIDE needs to pass two clinical trials, one with the U.S. veteran association in New York, to help it get regulatory approval and ensure health insurance companies can assist customers with the hefty price tag.

The company was founded by Amit Goffer, 63, who created a robotic exoskeleton at his previous venture ReWalk Robotics that helps people paralyzed from the waist down to walk.

But Goffer, who has been confined to a wheelchair since an allterrain vehicle accident in 1997, has never been able to use his first invention because his injuries left him with limited function in his arms.

With his new four-wheel chair, which uses a gyroscope similar to that in a two-wheeled Segway and self-stabilizing software, Goffer can maneuver upright over uneven urban terrain and join conversations face to face with people standing up.

“The dignity, self esteem ... to feel like part of society again, the core of society, not the fringe of society - the psychological effect is dramatic,” Goffer said.

For people with serious spinal cord injuries, the act of standing also helps stave off cardiovascular, respiratory and other problems that can arise, said Gabi Zeilig, director of the neurological rehabilitation department at Israel’s Sheba Medical Center.

“The (UPnRIDE) idea is fascinating,” he said. “There are devices today to move from one place to another, but for short

distances and never on a sloped ground.”

In the coming weeks, Zeilig will run a clinical trial of the product while a second study will be done by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in New York, said UPnRIDE Chief Executive Oren Tamari.

He said the key function was UPnRIDE’s ability to adjust and stabilize itself, so no matter what surface angle the device was on, the user would always be upright, maintaining a steady center of gravity and minimizing the risk of falling over.

About one percent of the popula-

tion uses a wheelchair, he said, but only 10 percent of that group has the sufficient upper body function to use the ReWalk exoskeleton, so UPnRIDE targets the rest.

High-end wheelchairs cost between $15-50,000, Tamari said, and “our target is to be somewhere in the middle”. (rtr)

Ahead of drought

Farmers look for drinking water for their cattle to remote site

AMLAPURA — Karangasem has the potential to develop cattle breeding. However, ahead of this drought as observation until Friday (Sep. 9) in Karangasem, residents began to face water crisis and they must find enough water to remote locations in order to provide drinking water for their cattle.

Farmers and cattle ranchers at Datah at the foot and the eastern slopes of Mount Agung started to face water crisis like Luh Manis. Thousands of farmers and other cattle ranchers are experiencing similar problems, namely water crisis. Rainwater all this time accommodated in the reservoir begins to dry. Some people have also totally run out of rainwater because their reservoir leaks. They must take water to a fairly remote location.

The residents of Bingin Kaler, Juwuk, Kalangsari, Teki, Panglegeha or Bidong, for instance, are facing water crisis. It happens because the water from wells at Kalangsari and Juwuk has been getting smaller from about six months ago. In the meantime, the water in the reservoir of Datah I and II at Kedampal is very limited.

To get water, other than waiting for water in both wells at local hamlet, some residents also transport water from public taps in front of the SDN 3 Datah elementary school. The water flows from the Soda springs pipeline network managed by a group of local residents.

In the meantime, a legislator of Karangasem from Datah village, Gede Dana, said that the Telaga Waja clean water pipeline project costing hundreds of billions has not been flowing so far. Actually, he said that local residents have longed for the water. Parliament has often urged the government to take advantage of the project. However, until now the follow up is not clear. He promised to struggle in the parliament and ask for the executive to look for a way out what exactly is the problem to the large project remaining uncompleted for seven years.

“Residents at villages regularly facing water shortages during dry season hope that Telaga Waja water pipeline project can be soon enjoyed and may not be left dormant,” said Gede Dana. (013)

GM’s electric Chevy Bolt to go 238 miles per charge

AP Photo/Paul Sancya, File

In this Monday, Jan. 11, 2016, file photo, the Chevrolet Bolt EV debuts at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

DETROIT — The Chevrolet Bolt, General Motors’ Tesla-fighting electric hatchback for the masses, will be able to go 238 miles (383 kilometers) on a single charge.

The car beats the base rearwheel-drive Tesla Model S, which can go 210 miles (336 kilometers) per charge but costs about $28,500 more.

The Bolt goes on sale later this year for about $37,500 before a $7,500 federal electric vehicle tax credit. It’s the first mass-market electric vehicle to cross the 200mile (322-kilometer) range, a range that will meet or exceed almost every person’s daily driving needs.

GM says the Bolt’s range was determined in testing by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

It takes 9.3 hours to recharge a Bolt

from near empty on a 240-Volt home charger, the company said.

The Bolt also will be able to get software fixes over the internet, Pam Fletcher, GM’s executive chief engineer for electric vehicles, said at a recent conference.

Tesla’s lowest-cost Model S is $66,000 before the credit. Late next year, Tesla plans to start selling the more affordable Model 3. At $35,000 before the credit, it will cost less than the Bolt and is expected to go 215 miles (346 kilometers) per charge.

The Palo Alto, California, company makes cars that travel farther than the Bolt, but they come at a price. The new Model S P100D can go about 315 miles (507 kilometers) per charge, but it starts at $134,500 without the credit. (ap)

A total of three waterfalls at Pengejaran village, Kintamani, are planned to be managed by local village for tourist attraction.

BANGLI — A total of three waterfalls at Pengejaran village, Kintamani, are planned to be managed by local village for tourist attraction. However, to manage the three waterfalls, the village is facing a trouble in opening road access to the waterfall as being hampered by forest land.

Headman of Pengejaran, Nengah Liarta, accompanied by section head of public welfare Made Rada when met recently stated the three waterfalls to be managed by local village are the Bunsalah, Tajun and Madu waterfall. Of the three waterfalls, one of which has uniqueness namely three-tiered attraction.

He said that so far the three waterfalls have already been visited by travelers, especially young people.

The natural potential owned by the three waterfalls makes him plan

to manage the waterfall for tourist attraction. “We are planning to manage the waterfalls in 2017,” he explained.

Nevertheless, he admitted that his authority encounters few obstacles to manage the waterfalls. He is planning to open road access to the waterfall so that it is drivable but does not get permission from the Forestry Agency because the path belongs to forest area. However, the agency only allows the village to make trekking paths.

“The distance to Tajun waterfall is about 500 meters, while the Bunsalah and Jukwani waterfall is about one kilometer,” he said. In addition to managing the waterfall, the village also plans to develop the potential owned by the village namely the durian and mangosteen estate. (kmb40)

COVER STORY

Tourists...

From page 1

In the meantime, the other tourist attractions are still far behind in terms of tourist visit, namely the Tulamben (17,405), Telaga Waja (14,520), Padangbai (4,634), Labuan/ODC (4,082), Jemeluk (3,925), Karangasem Grand Palace (3,463), Candidasa (843) and Yeh Malet (185). The remaining tourist attractions like the Iseh, Sibetan, Putung and Bukit Jambul are still minimal amounting to zero.

Seeing the data, the total number of foreign and domestic tourist visit in the first half of 2016 reached 107,421 people. This situation has not changed in the second half.

The data through July showed that Ujung Water Palace has recorded 5,392 foreign travelers and 13,903 domestic travelers. But entering this second semester, Besakih has

nearly the same total tourist visits.

But it is different in terms of foreign tourist visit, showing much higher, consisting of 11,981 foreign travelers and 1,475 domestic travelers.

The other attraction showed smaller tourist visit where in the second half only recorded 51,881 foreign and domestic travelers.

When combined with all the tourist visits in the first half, Karangasem totally recorded 59,302 people.

The Head of the Karangasem Culture and Tourism Agency, Wayan Purna, not long ago said that the number did not include the tourist visit in peak season from August to September. He believed the visit will continue to increase as more and more cultural events are held in Karangasem such as the Karangasem Festival, Genjek Festival, Ujung Water Palace Festival, Gebug Ende Festival and others.

Responding to the uneven tour-

ist visit distribution, he asserted that the government of Karangasem is currently working hard to improve various supporting facilities such as the Candidasa, Tenganan and Grand Palace tourist attraction with open stage and park in front of it, precisely in Candrabuana Field. The supporting facility will become additional attraction for visitors. “This year, we are making improvement where a number of supporting facilities are still worked on. Hopefully, this can help increase the tourist visits,” he said.

As comparison, the data on foreign and domestic tourist visit in 2015 reached 628,400 people.

In the first semester was recorded to reach 364,394 people, while in the second half reached 264,006 people. Seeing the data, the Karangasem Culture and Tourism Agency seemingly has to work even harder

to meet the expectations of Karangasem Regent I Gusti Ayu Mas Sumatri. The regent targeted the

Three lakes of Bali in critical condition

Buyan Lake

Activities

International

“Lake Tamblingan is indeed good because the forests and customary communities are strong and they consider the lake as a temple and the forest as a temple, so that no one dares to tamper,” said the environmentalist, Dr. Luh Kartini, in Denpasar, Monday (Sep. 12).

Of the three lakes, added Kartini, Lake Buyan is the worst.

Primarily it happened due to weeds, other than sedimentation or silting. Actually, when compared to other lakes, Lake Buyan is the deepest “If Lake Buyan disappears, it means the three others will also do because Lake Buyan is the deepest,” said this academician from the Udayana University.

Kartini added that Lake Beratan is experiencing pollution due to domestic waste and tourism business and so does the Lake Batur caused by fish cage around the lake and the weeds. Besides, the pollution is also caused by agricultural waste as local farmers are still using pesticides and chemical fertilizers in the three lakes.

“Weed issues should be resolved immediately. After that, it must be considered about maintaining the catchment area, processing domestic waste, livestock and agriculture. It must be processed so as not to get into the lake. All must implement organic agriculture but this has not been worked out,” she complained.

Kartini understood the lake issues are the authority of central government. However, it does not necessarily mean that local governments either provincial or district government where the lake sits have no any responsibility. Conversely, they should aggressively push central government to immediately take action for the handling of the lakes in Bali. The lakes are closely related to the supply of clean water for the Island of the Gods.

“Although it is beyond our authority, we should take care because we take advantage of it. We should encourage central government to do something to the lakes so that they can be preserved. Designation, limits and zoning must clear. After that, we must keep the catchment area, so that nothing is converted.

Agricultural system must also be proposed. Otherwise, no one will know,” she affirmed. (kmb32)

Fantasy meets tragedy in surreal drama ‘A Monster Calls’

TORONTO - A teenage boy’s struggle with his mother’s terminal illness takes a surreal turn when he finds comfort in a giant talking tree monster, in the emotional fantasy drama “A Monster Calls.”

The film, which had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday, follows the story of Connor, a quiet, artistic teenage boy who becomes a target for the school bully.

As his mother, played by Felicity Jones, gets sicker from cancer, Conner goes to live with his cold, reserved grandmother, played by Sigourney Weaver. In the midst of his life crumbling around him,

Connor is visited at night by a giant talking yew tree monster.

The film is adapted from the children’s book of the same name, and Bayona incorporated watercolor animations to illustrate the stories of good and evil that the tree monster, voiced by Liam Neeson, tells Connor.

“I had never read anything quite like it,” said Jones, who plays Connor’s ailing mother.

“The elements of fantasy, anima-

tion, and a giant, talking tree, and dealing with something that everyone goes through, dealing with loss, I thought was very special.”

Newcomer British actor Lewis MacDougall, who plays Connor, said the best part about working on the film was being among the all-star cast and shooting the film in Barcelona.

The film will be rolling out across Europe in October and in limited U.S. theaters in December.

Weaver said she was touched by the story and “delighted” to play an English woman.

“I thought it was an amazing, ambitious story,” she said. (rtr)

AMLAPURA - Tourist visit to Karangasem spreads to a number of attractions. Karangasem with dozens of tourist attractions makes travelers have many options. However, seeing the number of tourist visits within the past semester, apparently the tourist visits have not been evenly distributed. Of the 16 attractions, the Ujung Water Palace still becomes the most favorite destination in Karangasem.

The data on tourist visit to the attractions obtained from the Karangasem Culture and Tourism Agency in the first half (January-June) of 2016 indicated the first rank was occupied by the Ujung Water Palace. In total, the heritage of the Karangasem royal palace recorded the number of tourist visits of 70,300 (19,305 foreign travelers and 50,995 domestic travelers). Three other tourist attractions also recorded high visit namely the Tirtagangga (48,597 travelers), Besakih (42,667 travelers) and Tenganan (24,477 travelers).

France uncovering new terror plots ‘every day’

PARIS - The French Prime Minster warns there “will be new attacks” as a 15-year-old boy is held over a suspected imminent plot. France says it is facing a threat from some 15,000 homegrown radicals French authorities are foiling new terror plots “every day”, according to the country’s prime minister. Manuel Valls said France faced a threat from an estimated 15,000 homegrown radicals, warning that despite the efforts of security services, there “will be new attacks”.

He was speaking to radio station Europe 1 as a 15-year-old boy was arrested in Paris on suspicion of planning an imminent knife attack.

“Today the threat is at a maximum, and we are a target,” Valls said on Sunday. “Every day attacks are foiled ... (including) as we speak.” He warned that among the 15,000 people suspected of being in the process of being radicalised, 1,350 are under investigation.

“There will be new attacks, there will be innocent victims...this is also my role to tell this truth to the French people,” he said.

The teenager detained in eastern Paris on Saturday had been under house arrest since April for suspected links to Islamic extremists following a search of his home.

His arrest comes just days after a police dismantled a “terrorist cell” of female “commandos” in connection with an aborted attack near Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral.

Four women, the 15-year-old daughter of one of the women and a man were arrested last week after an abandoned car filled with gas canisters and diesel was found close to the landmark. One of the women was charged with terrorism offences after telling

police she and an accomplice had tried to set the vehicle alight but fled when they saw a man they believed to be a plain-clothes policeman.

Three of the women are accused of planning a separate attack. The killing of a priest in a terror attack sparked a major security operation. Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said they were acting on orders coming from Syria.

France is in a state of emergency following a series of Islamist attacks which have left 238 people dead since January 2015.

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a number of the attacks including the Paris attacks in Novem-

ber in which 130 people were killed.

It also claimed the man who killed 86 people with a truck in Nice in July was one it its “soldiers”.

According to Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, police have arrested 293 people this year for “links to terrorist networks”.(afp) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.
