Priyanka Chopra recovering after mishap on ‘Quantico’ set

LOS ANGELES - Actress Priyanka Chopra is resting at home after a “minor incident” on the set of her ABC show “Quantico,” the network said Friday.

Celebrity news website TMZ, citing unnamed sources, said Chopra had slipped and fallen during a stunt and suffered a concussion after hitting her head. In a statement, ABC did not confirm this but said a “minor incident” took place on the New York set of the FBI drama series on Thursday night.

“It would be premature to comment further until we have all the information. Priyanka was examined by a doctor, released and is home resting comfortably,” the network added.

A representative for the actress said she will return to work after the weekend.

Walt Disney Co.’s ABC did not comment further on whether production of the show will be halted, but trade publication Variety said production will not be shut down while Chopra recovers.

Chopra, 34, made her transition from Bollywood to Hollywood as the lead of “Quantico,” in which she plays an FBI recruit turned CIA agent. She will also be starring in the upcoming film reboot of “Baywatch.” (rtr)

More freezing rain, temperatures expected for central US

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A third wave of sleet and drizzle could hit parts of the central U.S. on the eve of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, weather officials said, and temperatures threaten to stay near or below freezing and add to the treacherous mix.

Ice buildups of one-quarter to slightly less than a half inch were expected late Saturday and Sunday morning from southeastern Kansas to central Missouri.

Becky Allmeroth, a state maintenance engineer for the Missouri Department of Transportation, said ice is “the most difficult storm to fight.”

“We are keeping up with the changing conditions, but it is a continual battle,” she said of the department’s around-the-clock scrambling to treat the glazed roads. “The precipitation is coming in waves, and we have to apply more salt.”

Icy roads Saturday created dangerous conditions and travel head-

aches for many people who avoided authorities’ pleas to stay indoors except for necessary outings.

Interstate 40 in western Oklahoma was closed in two places because of wrecks, including the jackknifing of several semitrailers in icy conditions in Caddo County. And along an icy part of I-40 in Custer County, a 45-year-old Oklahoma City man died after his semitrailer struck two others early Saturday and then was hit by a car. The patrol is investigating the wreck.

Saturday’s storm followed one Friday that dumped freezing rain from Oklahoma to southern Illinois.

A slick roadway was suspected in

a Missouri wreck Friday that killed a 33-year-old woman whose sport utility vehicle slid on an icy freeway overpass south of St. Louis and struck several trees. Later Friday, icy conditions were blamed for a pileup involving more than 20 vehicles in Wichita, Kansas, but no serious injuries were reported.

The storm’s onset prompted the NFL to move the AFC divisional playoff game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and host team the Kansas Chiefs to Sunday evening to allow more time to treat roads and parking lots at Arrowhead Stadium.

The game was scheduled to kick off at noon but now will start at 7:20 p.m.

Many residents had prepared for the storms by stocking up on bread, milk and other necessities and by buying flashlights and generators to have on hand in case power gets knocked out.(ap)

Tourism Office glances at potential of Indian market

IBP/file

The garbage is pilling up in the sewer. Bali provincial government is now trying to explore the potential of new regional revenue source through waste management services.

Waste in downstream will be subject to levies

DENPASAR - Bali provincial government is now trying to explore the potential of new regional revenue source through waste management services. In this case, the transport of waste from the source or the temporary disposal site to final landfill will be charged a levy.

This levy to downstream waste management services will be set forth in the amendment draft of the regional bylaw (Perda) No.2/2011 on public service levies.

“In the past, we did not collect any levies to the waste in downstream, but now we do it. In the upstream people collect it, then they transport to downstream known as the regional landfill,” said the Head of the Bali Revenue Services, Made Santha, in Denpasar on Friday (Jan.13).

According to Santha, there are approximately 4,600 cubic meters of waste sent to Suwung regional landfill per month. The potential of revenue to be obtained can reach around IDR 2.8 billion per year from waste levies. Principles and objectives of the levy to public services will be determined by taking into account the cost of providing the services, people’s capability, fairness aspect and effectiveness of controls over the services. Calculation of the levy will cover the cost of waste collection from the sources, transport cost from temporary disposal site to final landfill, the cost of providing location of the disposal or demolition to the cost of management.

“When people are charged with levy, it is based on consideration that there is provision of services. The government has calculated with reasonable rates. It costs approximately IDR 2,500 per cubic meter,” he

explained.

Santha added that so far the provincial government as the landfill owner has not got anything. It just receives the waste as well as must spend cost and resources to perform it. The revenue earned will go into the regional treasure that will be expended for funding program of activities.

Technical Section Head of Waste Management Unit, Ni Made Armadi, said that the results of calculation of the operating cost and maintenance cost divided by services gets the amount of IDR 2,500 per cubic meter, without counting the cost of investment. The investment cost includes the cost of construction as well as the making of WWTP and revetment.

“Yesterday we used the data of operating cost in November and December amounting to IDR 3.6 billion, so that we get IDR 2,559. We round it off to IDR 2,500 per cubic meter. As planned, it will be subsidized. It means that we do not need additional investment,” she said.

Armadi asserted that government of Bali province only collects levies at the regional landfill. When it is not regional, the authority to collect the levies is done by district / municipal government. For instance, Buleleng, Jembrana and Karangasem manage their waste in their respective district. However, her agency will still discuss further related to the levies for the Sanitation and Landscaping Agency that transports the waste to Suwung landfill.

“There is government directly transporting waste to Suwung landfill. We are still discussing about the regulation whether the government trucks will be charged the levies or not. In the regulation, the waste of public facilities and places worship is not charged,” she explained. (kmb32)

GIANYAR - Gianyar Tourism Office glanced at the potential of Indian tourists visit. It is following the trend of tourist visit from the country that tends to continuously increase each year.

Head of the Gianyar Tourism Office, A.A. Ari Brahmanta, said on Friday (Jan. 13) the visit to Gianyar is still dominated by travelers from China, Europe and America. But lately, the visits of Indian travelers are also on the rise. This condition makes his agency attempt to gain market share of Indian travelers as maximal as possible.

According to him, the interest of Indian travelers in Bali, especially Gianyar, is inseparable from the element of cultural similarities. In Gianyar, there are many heritages of Hindu culture which are very worthy to be offered as tourist attraction.

“So, we’ll work on the tourism market of India more seriously. The others such as Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand mostly make a visit to Yogyakarta and West Java. It happens because of cultural elements including the shopping tourism growing in Yogyakarta and West Java,” he said.

Related to tourism promotion, Ari Brahmanta mentioned that his agency will intensify internal promotion. In other words, the

Activities

International

promotion will be predominantly conducted through local events in Gianyar. In addition, promotion will also be conducted through cooperation with the Indonesia Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI), travel agencies and tourism associations.

“Essentially, we do not go there (outside the region--Ed), but we invite them to come to Gianyar.

Through travel agencies we will continuously promote Gianyar overseas,” he explained.

In the near future, the Tourism Office will formulate a marketing strategy with a number of tourism stakeholders. So far, the marketing remains to apply the old strategies.

However, if there will be formulation of pattern considered more effective, then it will be surely applied.

Further, he said that to complete the attraction of Gianyar, his agency considered the need for developing alternative tourism such as culinary tourism.

Other than having great potential in the form of traditional culinary treasures, there is a trend where travelers also look for something to do with healthy food. “This is adequately potential to be developed. We’ll try to work on the potential of organic food,” he concluded. (kmb25)

Bamboo birdcage craft

Search bamboo alone, enough to meet family needs

BANGLI - Since Bangli is a bambooproducing region, people continue to think creatively and maximize bamboo use into craft products. In addition to woven bamboo crafts, people also make bamboo birdcage.

One of the bamboo birdcage craftsmen is Sang Gede Jati from Peninjoan hamlet, Peninjoan, Tembuku.

Elvis Express rolls into Parkes for festival to celebrate the King

PARKES - Elvis may have left the building almost 40 years ago, but he and several clones have just arrived on a train chugging into Parkes railway station from Sydney, marking the start of the 25th Parkes Elvis Festival in the southeastern Australian town.

For five days in early January,

“the King of Rock and Roll” lives on in this celebration of all things Elvis, including a tribute contest, a Miss Priscilla lookalike competition, a parade and gala dinner, and even a renewal of vows ceremony presided over by Elvis himself.

This year, the iconic festival is themed after Elvis’ classic 1964

film “Viva Las Vegas”, with fans donning not only rhinestone-studded jumpsuits and their best wigs, but also sequins and feathers, as buskers entertain the crowds.

Parkes’ population balloons to almost double its size during the festivities, with organisers expecting between 25,000 and 30,000

people to attend in 2017, but the concept was not always welcomed by locals.

“I think there was a bit of a cringe factor really with most people, including myself”, said Parkes local and retiree Bob Bokeyar. “But I think we have come to love Elvis and love the festival over the years.”

First held in 1993, the festival was the brainchild of husband and wife Bob and Anne Steel, who then owned the Gracelands restaurant in this quiet town in New South Wales.

January was thought to be the best time for the festival as it coincided with Presley’s birthday on January 8. (rtr)

When visiting him at his home, he said that the business has been initiated since decades ago. This man graduating from SMA TP45 Bangli high school has some experiences in bamboo craft making at some places. Before making birdcage crafts, he worked at a bamboo chair maker in Denpasar.

“I have made bamboo birdcage crafts since 2002. At first, I have a hobby in raising birds. From this, I got the idea to make bamboo birdcage,” said Sang Gede Jati while adding that most birdcages he currently makes are for zosterops.

Today, most orders are for zosterops birdcage.

Considering the bird lovers currently tend to favor zosterops, the birdcage orders received are mostly for this bird, while the standard size is normally for chestnut-capped thrush and other birds.

“Lately, more orders are for zosterops. The birdcage

has much smaller size. Since zosterops is commonly involved in contest, we receive more cage orders for this bird. They are from Gianyar, Klungkung, Denpasar and Tabanan, including Bangli itself. We are grateful as the result of this craft is very helpful to sustain our family daily needs,” he said.

He can produce two to three birdcages of zosterops every day and one to two birdcages of larger size. “The workmanship is in appropriate with the size. If the size is smaller, I can produce more pieces and fewer pieces for larger size,” he said with a smile.

The selling price is set in accordance with the size ordered. Besides, it also depends on the motive of the birdcage ordered considering that he makes several types of birdcage. “A small cage for zosterops is sold for IDR 50,000, while the larger size is for IDR 125,000-IDR 150,000. Then, a birdcage with more beautiful motive is sold for IDR 180,000-IDR 200,000,” he said.

The birdcage is entirely made from his own bamboo without having to purchase. The bamboo in use belongs to petung, tali, jajang and ampel variety. “Indeed I never purchase the bamboo material because I have owned so that it just needs to take from its clusters.

Therefor, I never run out of material,” said Sang Gede Jati. (kmb41)

Project Sweet Tooth

Tradition ends in noble activity DENPASAR - Starting from a tradition, it becomes a noble social action. Perhaps this expression is worth giving to the three sisters consisting of Madeline, Olivia and Beatrice Safavi.

They typically get a lot of sweets from neighbors and relatives on Halloween Day. They want to share the sweets with other children that are not as fortunate as them.

“We are impossible to consume the entire sweets. So, we would like to give it to other children who may have never been given sweets by others,” said Madeline when met on Friday (Jan. 6). This social action named Project Sweet Tooth was initially followed by some children.

However, now all the students at their school in Singapore also participate in the noble action. “Most children under 15 years old contributed their sweets. There are totally around 1,000 people,” said Madeline.

According to her, the sweets are symbol of something very much favored by children. “By sharing the most valuable thing for us, then our empathy will emerge and be willing to share anything with others. On the contrary, for those who receive it will be very meaningful because they are receiving something valuable,” said Madeline.

In the meantime, Olivia explained that the sweets were donated to several places and one of them is an

orphanage in Bali. When asked why she chose Bali, Olivia stated that since she first came to this island, she often saw abandoned children. “I’m sad to see this reality and want to share, even though they are only sweets because these are the only things we have today,” she added.

In addition to Singapore and Bali, in 2015 the Project Sweet Tooth decided to send sweets in large quantities to Germany to be forwarded to children of the Syrian war refugees. The initiative got a lot of praise. Moreover, German Chancellor Angela Merkel personally sent a letter of thanks.

“We are very happy especially when seeing the excited faces of children who are enjoying the sweets,” said Beatrice, the youngest. For 2017, one of the orphanages in Bangli is selected to receive it. Dozens of candy packages are brought from Singapore to be shared there.

“Hopefully, more and more people will be inspired by this activity. They do not have to donate sweets but whatever they possess can be contributed to ease the burden on less fortunate children,” said Madeline. The Project Sweet Tooth having been running for ten years has donated more than 100,000 sweets. (ad)

Malaysian communities in denial after major paedophile case-police

KUALA LUMPUR - More than six months after Richard Huckle was sentenced to life in jail for sexually abusing scores of children, most of the families in the Malaysian communities where he lived are declining counselling and other help, police say.

Huckle had posed as a freelance photographer, English teacher and Western philanthropist over the past decade to gain access mostly to impoverished communities in Kuala Lumpur, where taboos around child sex abuse often prevent families from disclosing it.

Police reached out to 320 adults and 101 children in two communities affected by Huckle, Ong Chin Lan, the head of the Sexual, Women and Children Investigation Division of the Malaysian national police said in an interview.

“We have identified a few victims. We have tried to identify communities,” Ong said. “But we respect the parents and guardians’ four dead deer and other evidences such as two rifles and car will be handed over to police for further action.

Even though they have been intercepted, the five culprits who had dropped out of the car could escape. The officers secured a silver-colored Suzuki APV car with license plate DK 573 IS at the exit gates in the front of the Tegalbunder Section II office.

As information, the arrest started from the information of the TNBB officers in charge of night shift at section II in the Buleleng region approximately at 00:30. Around Prapat Agung, there was suspicious activity using private car. It was suspected as a poaching in the conservation

area. After that, four forest rangers were deployed to intercept at the exit gates around Tegalbunder.

Approximately at 03:00, the car was about to go out and stopped for inspection. Five people were out of the car. When examined, some evidences of hunting like rifles and dead deer were found. When would be examined, the five culprits fled into the woods. Forest rangers had given twice warning shots but they

still ran into the forest. Until Saturday morning, forest rangers still combed the forest, while the APV car is secured.

TNBB administrative subdivision head, Wiryawan, confirmed the arrest on Saturday. The arrest was made when the officers intercepted at the exit gates in front of the section II office at Tegalbunder area. The officers secured two assembled rifles of caliber 5.5 mm,

SAFETY WORKSHOPS At the downtown Kuala Lumpur community where Huckle lived, residents avoid discussing the issue, according to its community leader. For nearly two years, Huckle roamed the streets of this tightknit community with a camera, participating in the neighbourhood Hindu temple’s religious festivals and sports events, according to residents.

The community, which Reuters is not naming to protect the identities of the children there, was informed of Huckle’s crimes by British police and NGOs in early 2016. The possibility that Huckle might have abused children there prompted several village meetings

four heads of dead deer (Muntiacus muncak), a bayonet, flashlights and car.

“A dead deer is pregnant and we know when taking the bullet projectile,” he said. The TNBB authority will bury the four dead deer that have started decomposing.

Furthermore, the other evidences such as two rifles and car will be handed over to police for further action. (kmb26)

Lone migrant children arriving in Italy by sea doubles in 2016 LONDON - The number of lone migrant children arriving in Italy by boat more than doubled in 2016 from the previous year, an “alarming trend” that leaves thousands of young people at risk

Around 25,800 unaccompanied children crossed the Mediterranean to reach Italy in 2016, UNICEF said, with

Traditional culture to be performed at BAF

AMLAPURA - Traditional cultures have become distinctive appeal for Bali.

Moreover, Bali has a lot of traditions currently started to be explored in order to boost tourism in Bali. To empower the potential of traditional culture, the Bali Culture Agency plans to display the culture of each district / municipality across Bali in the parade of the Bali Arts Festival (BAF) this year.

This was affirmed by the Head of the Bali Culture Agency, Dewa Putu Beratha, when met at Asak village, Karangasem, on Tuesday (Jan. 10). He said that all this time there are still opportunities for the potential of traditional cultures to appear in the BAF parade. Thus, this will be done in this year’s BAF parade. “Later on, the nine

districts and municipality will be obliged to display traditional cultures in the parade,” said Dewa Putu Beratha.

According to him, for Karangasem in particular, it is not difficult to feature two or three traditional cultures in the parade. Karangasem is a storehouse of traditional cultures in Bali. Moreover, last year two traditional cultures, namely terteran of Jasri village and gebug ende of Seraya village have been recognized as national intangible cultural heritage. This year, it will be proposed two potentials of traditional culture, namely the implementation of usaba dangsil at Bungaya village and mageret pandan at Tenganan Pegringsingan.

He confirmed that with the opportunities

to appear in the BAF parade, each district / municipality in Bali continues to explore the potential of traditional culture. The traditional culture has become a unique identity for Bali. If possible, it can soon be proposed into a national cultural heritage, so that later on the government will also have a responsibility in preserving and developing the traditional culture itself in Bali.

In line with the preservation of Balinese identity through traditional culture, his agency confirmed that currently Bali has some events. Aside from the BAF, there are also Bali Mahalango and Bali Mandala Nawa Natya. Especially for the Bali Mandala Nawa Natya, this year has entered the second annual implementa-

and discussions, the leader said.

But once the case became public knowledge in June, the media attention that followed left the residents wary of publicity.

“We were all shaken for 2-3 weeks but now we don’t talk about it,” the community leader said.

He insisted there were no victims in his community, despite media reports stating otherwise.

The only reminder of Huckle now is the safety workshops conducted by Protect and Save the Children (PSC), an NGO that has been in touch with the community since early last year. PSC is holding workshops to teach children about good and bad touching, hoping Huckle’s victims will come forward so they can be offered counselling.

Only around 20 of the 70 children in the ethnic Indian community have attended the workshops. (rtr)

view of not coming forward. They don’t want to lodge a police report because of pride and shame.”

Ong said police, along with the women’s ministry and nongovernmental organisations, have conducted programmes focusing on providing counselling and therapy for the victims and their families.

She did not say how many have participated.

“They (communities) are still in denial,” Ong said. “I believe some of the parents don’t even know their children have been sexually abused. They say leave my child alone. Let my child live a peaceful life from here on.”

Non-profit groups who are try-

ing to work with the victims say they, too, are encountering difficulties in getting victims to come forward.

tion. It is devoted to give the opportunity to the art lovers of younger generation in order to perform and jointly love their culture. “Young generation has to grow the awareness of their culture. This becomes a preservation process of the identity of Bali,” he said.

The Bali Mandala Nawa Natya, said Dewa Putu Beratha, is meant to provide an opportunity for younger generation to explore their talent in culture. Many art studios coaching younger generations participate in this event. The implementation runs throughout a year coming with a different theme each month. Apparently this event is able to boost the interest of younger generation in the cultural preservation. (kmb31)

the majority originating from Eritrea, Egypt, Gambia and Nigeria.

While most were teenaged boys, the agency said a growing number of girls were also making the perilous sea journey and were at risk of sexual exploitation.

“These figures indicate an alarming trend of an increasing number of highly vulnerable children risking their lives to get to Europe,” said Lucio Melandri, UNICEF’s emergency manager.

“Current systems in place are failing to protect these children who find themselves alone in a totally unfamiliar environment. Because they are on the move, a coordinated European response is needed to keep them safe.”

Last year a record 181,000 boat migrants, mostly from Africa, reached Italy. The majority paid Libyan people traffickers to make the journey.

The Missing Migrants Project, set up by the U.N.’s International Organization for Migration, has recorded 11 migrants deaths in the Mediterranean since the start of the year, including four who died of hypothermia at Europe’s land borders with Turkey.

The EU all but halted a migrant influx into Greece through a deal last year with Turkey to hold back Syrian refugees. But doing the same in Italy’s case is more problematic because of the lack of effective state authority in Libya. (rtr)

She is due to make a speech in London on Tuesday before an audience including foreign diplomats as well as Britain’s own Brexit negotiating team and other senior officials, May’s Downing Street office said in a statement.

It said she would stress the need for Britons, who voted for Brexit by 52 to 48 percent in last June’s referendum after a deeply divisive campaign, to unite around common goals such as protecting and enhancing workers’ rights.

“Now we need to put an end to the division and the language associated with it - ‘Leaver’ and ‘Remainer’ and all the accompanying insults - and unite to make a success of Brexit and build a truly Global Britain,” May is expected to say.

The extracts of May’s speech did not say whether she would reveal her stance on one of the key questions: whether she will try and keep Britain within the European single market or customs union or, if not, what level of access she will aim for. (rtr)

BUSINESS EU Brexit chief sees special care for financial service ties impact of Brexit on financial services trade between Britain and the EU but rather emphasising that Brussels would have to take special care not to ignore stability risks in London.

EQUIVALENCE The officials said he responded to a question on equivalence by noting that the extent of EU rules governing relations with non-EU financial centres was proportional to the volume of EU business conducted in them -- and so to the risk of, say, a bank collapse in London destabilising markets on the continent.

With, say, the United States, the EU has negotiated accords to recognise the “equivalence” of, for example, bank supervision standards to make it easier for European companies to use U.S. banks and let U.S. institutions sell services in the EU. The extent of such equivalence agreements has been a major concern for Britishbased banks wanting continued access to the EU market. Other EU governments have said they will welcome financial firms moving out of London and say Britain’s economy and its big services sector must pay a price for Brexit so that it does not inspire voters in other countries to follow suit.

EU ministers and officials acknowledge that damage to London’s global financial

“Both the UK and the EU will suffer,” Maltese Finance Minister Edward Scicluna said on Thursday as Malta took on the rotating chair of EU councils.

“We will lose that efficient centre,” he told reporters, forecasting that many financial firms would relocate to various cities in

the EU. “That will be a loss ... The EU will suffer once services are fragmented. It will be longer term.”

Nonetheless, Scicluna said, the signs of banks and other City firms preparing to move operations to other parts of the EU amid uncertainty about the terms of Brexit showed that the immediate cost was much greater for Britain.(rtr)

Anger as Mexicans fear higher food prices to follow gasoline hike

Demonstrators dress up as a Mexican politician and a U.S. politician during a protest against a fuel price hike in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico January 14, 2017.

MEXICO CITY - Mexicans who already feel the pinch from a gasoline price hike share economists fears it will now drive up the cost of food and other basics, adding to the unpopularity of the government ahead of elections this year and next.

Riots that broke out after a 14 percent increase in regular gas prices on Jan. 1 also reflected anger at President Enrique Pena Nieto over corruption, crime and the failure of reforms to improve living standards.

More increases in fuel prices are slated for February as the government phases out subsidies, but Pena Nieto vowed he would keep a lid on other consumer prices, and the central bank said any spike in inflation would be temporary.

In Mexico City’s Granada mar-

ket this week, few gave credence to such reassurances, a sign of the risk for the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party in governor elections this year and the 2018 presidential vote.

“I don’t believe the president at all,” said housewife Fabiola Hernandez as she left a market with corn tortillas from a shop that had just raised prices by 1 Mexican peso ($0.05) following the gasoline hike.

The head of Mexico’s tortilla association said prices for a kilo of the flat corn patties that are staple to the Mexican diet would rise by between 1 and 3 pesos this month above prices of 10 to 16 pesos per kilo last year, daily El Universal said.

“Really, I do not see a good outlook. People are really mad,”

Hernandez said. “I don’t think there is going to be any benefit or that prices will remain the same, I think they are going to have to go up,” she said. A bigger jump in tortilla prices sparked protests in 2007.

“Providers have to raise prices because of the gasoline,” said trader Florentino Aguilar as he chopped raw chicken at another market. “That affects me because I don’t want to drastically jump to a high price because people get frightened.”

PESO WOES Inflation is also fanned higher by a record slump in the peso on fears U.S. President-elect Donald Trump could crimp trade with Mexico.

Analysts say the peso could fall further if Trump slaps a threatened tax on exports from Mexico. (rtr)

BRUSSELS - The European Union’s Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said on Saturday that the EU will demand “special vigilance” before letting British financial firms access the bloc because of the large risk London could pose to the EU’s financial stability.

Responding to a report in the Guardian which said he had told EU lawmakers that he wanted a special deal to maintain EU firms’ access to the City of London, Barnier tweeted: “When asked on equivalence I said: EU would need special vigilance on financial stability risk, not special deal to access the City.”

An EU spokesman said the Guardian report did “not correctly reflect” Barnier’s comments to a closed door meeting with members of the European Parliament last week.

EU officials said the point Barnier was making when asked about Brussels’ willingness after Brexit to recognise British financial regulations as “equivalent” in rigour to those of the EU was that, as a lot of EU business was likely to still pass through the City, EU equivalence rules would have to be much more tightly drafted compared to those for smaller centres.

The Guardian quoted minutes prepared by parliamentary aides as saying Barnier told lawmakers: “Some very specific work has to be done in this area ... There will be a special/specific relationship. There will need to be work outside of the negotiation box ... in order to avoid financial instability.”

EU officials said Barnier, a Frenchman who ran EU financial services policy, was not speaking of a “special deal” to limit the

Ngoncang Poses an Expression of Gratitude after Rice Harvest The art of ngoncang or pounding mortar also enlivened the opening of the Buleleng Festival (Bulfest) 2016. No half-heartedly, there are ten pounding art troupes presenting this agrarian art predominantly used in religious ceremonies.

The Head of the Buleleng Culture and Tourism, Nyoman Sutrisna, said the ten pounding art troupes involved came from the subdistrict of Buleleng, Sukasada and Sawan. Each troupe may

consist of six to ten people. They used round and elongated mortar made from teak wood or devil tree wood with the length of two to three meters. In the middle it has a hole and is hit by using wooden round-end pestle generally used for pounding rice.

This pounding art is representing the excitement of gratitude of housewives when celebrating postharvest time. Rhythm of the beat sounding harmonious symbolizes

their unity and oneness. As ancestral heritage, the existence is still preserved to these days. Through the Bulfest, younger generations are expected to know about this tradition. They will see in person the shape and pattern of pounding the rice mortar. Meaning of the sound produced becomes a symbol of harmony of life. Visitors can learn and know a lot of things that Buleleng has diverse cultures and traditions,” he said. (kmb)

U.S.President-elect Donald Trump gestures to people in the lobby after speaking to the news media at Trump Tower in New York, U.S., January 13, 2017.

Trump attacks civil rights leader who questioned his election win

WASHINGTON - President-elect Donald Trump began a long holiday weekend that honors slain black civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. by attacking another rights activist and politician who had said he does not see Trump as a “legitimate president.”

U.S. Representative John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat, said on a segment of “Meet the Press” released

by NBC on Friday he thought hacking by Russians had helped Trump, a Republican, get elected in November.

Lewis said he does not plan to attend Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration, the first time he would miss such an event since being elected to the House in 1986.

On Saturday Trump tweeted that Lewis had falsely complained about the election results and instead “should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested).”

“All talk, talk, talk - no action or results. Sad!” Trump tweeted.

During the campaign, Trump said Democrats had failed African-Americans and Hispanics. “What the hell do you have to lose? Give me a chance,” he said at a rally last year in Ohio.

Trump won the presidency with less support from black and Hispanic voters than any president in the last

40 years, only 8 percent and 28 percent, respectively, polling data showed.

The 76-year-old Lewis, who has been a civil rights leader for more than half a century, was beaten by police during a march he helped lead in 1965 in Selma, Alabama, drawing attention to hurdles for blacks to vote. He protested alongside King that day and on other occasions.

“I believe in forgiveness,” Lewis said in the NBC segment about Trump. “I believe in trying to work with people,” he said. “It’s going to be very difficult. I don’t see this president-elect as a legitimate president.”

At least 10 other Democratic U.S. politicians have also said they plan to skip the inauguration, including Representatives Raul Grijalva, Lacy Clay and Mark Takano.

Supporters of Trump see him as a brash person who tells things as they are. His comments about Lewis came ahead of an anti-Trump march in Washington headed by the Rev. Al Sharpton. The protest by about 2,000 marchers kicked off a week of rallies planned by dozens of groups against Trump before, during and after the inauguration.

DisruptJ20, which is working with Black Lives Matter and other protest groups, said they are planning to disrupt balls celebrating the inauguration in Washington. (rtr)

Palestinian President Abbas says U.S. Embassy move would hurt peace VATICAN CITY - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas discussed the Middle East with Pope Francis on Saturday and said prospects for peace there will suffer if U.S. president-elect Donald Trump moves Washington’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

“We are waiting to see if it happens. If it does, it will not help peace and we hope it does not happen,” Abbas told reporters outside the Vatican gates minutes after 25 minutes of talks with the pope.

Abbas, who spoke through an interpreter, stopped in Rome to open the new embassy of the State of Palestine to the Vatican.

Trump’s promise to relocate the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem would upend decades of U.S. policy. Israel and the Palestinians, who are seeking a state of their own, both claim Jerusalem as their capital.

Successive U.S. administrations have said the city’s status must be negotiated.

Jerusalem, which Israeli has declared its “united and eternal capital,” is home to sites sacred to Jews, Muslims and Christians.

The Vatican, which keeps its embassy to Israel in Jaffa and also backs a two-state solution, implicitly recognised a Palestinian

state for years but in 2015 made it official by signing a treaty with the State of Palestine.

As he was leaving the pope’s study, Abbas said the opening of the new embassy to the Vatican was “a sign that the pope loves the people of Palestine and loves peace.”

In a statement, the Vatican called for a resumption of direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians “to bring an end to the violence that causes unacceptable suffering to civilian populations, and to find a just and lasting solution.”

It called for a climate that could lead to “courageous decisions”.

In an interview with Le Figaro newspaper on Saturday Abbas said he had written to Trump to warn him against moving the embassy.

“Not only would it strip the United States of all its legitimacy to play a role in resolving the conflict, but it would reduce to nothing a two-state solution.”

He said the Palestinians would discuss several options on how to respond after consultations with Arab states.

“Going back on our recognition of Israel is one of them, but we hope that we won’t get there and will be able to work with the next American administration,” Abbas said. (rtr)

President Jokowi discusses social justice with Islamic leader Haedar

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) met with Haedar Nashir, chief of Muhammadiyah, a major Islamic organization in the country, here, Friday to discuss efforts to promote social justice toward the development of the nation.

“We discussed a major problem facing our nation; the economic gap and its multiple aspects,” he informed the media after the meeting over lunch. Haedar said he had discussed reforms that could be implemented by the state, with the aid of Muhammadiyah, to build the countrys economy.

The President has to implement political and economic policies to boost the economic development of the nation, he revealed.

“Reforms are needed to overcome social problems, and make the middle and lower classes of the society prosperous,” he remarked.

Muhammadiyah has conveyed two things to the President, namely, the need to review the control of land, which is a state asset, for the good of the general public and protection of the community, so that all members can enjoy the benefits of the countrys natural resources, he explained.

The state must defend, empower and promote the welfare of the people, Haedar maintained. “It is impossible to promote the welfare of the people without the support of the political powers and the community, as they are vital elements needed to make the republic able and bring prosperity to the people, while protecting and advancing their interests,” he emphasized.

President Joko Widodo, Wednesday, had invited the chief of another major Islamic organization Nahdlatul Ulama to lunch, during which they discussed radicalism and intolerance. (ant)

FILE - In this Saturday, April 13, 2013, file photo, the wreckage of a Lion Air plane sits on the water near the airport in Bali, Indonesia. The head of Indonesia’s narcotics agency says most of the country’s airline accidents have involved pilots on drugs, including a Lion Air jet that slammed into the sea four years ago while trying to land on Bali.

Indonesia narcotics chief blames pilots on drugs for crashes

JAKARTA — Most of Indonesia’s airline accidents have involved pilots who tested positive for drugs, including a Lion Air jet that slammed into the sea four years ago while trying to land on the tourist island of Bali, the chief of the national narcotics agency said.

Budi Waseso made the comments Thursday at a ceremony on Bali to inaugurate traditional village security guards as anti-drug volunteers.

The comments are another blow to the image of the country’s airline industry after a video circulated online last month showing an apparently intoxicated pilot in the cockpit of a Citilink passenger plane. News reports this week said two pilots of another airline, Susi Air, owned by the country’s fisheries minister had recently tested positive for drugs.

“Almost all air accidents in Indonesia, whether it was just a skid or whatever, the pilots are indicated to be positive for drugs,” Waseso told reporters.

Earlier in the day he told the event attended by Bali’s governor that a Lion Air pilot in the spectacular 2013 crash

had “hallucinated” that the sea was part of the runway.

His comments are at odds with other official accounts. After the crash, which miraculously caused no fatalities among the 108 people on board, the transport ministry said the pilots had not tested positive for drugs. The final report blamed the accident, which occurred in rain, on poor communication between the pilots and inadequate trading.

Lion Air, the National Transport Safety Committee and the Ministry of Transport declined to comment.

Indonesian airlines were previously barred from flying to Europe and the United States but foreign air safety regulators have upgraded the country, allowing some airlines to resume flights. The U.S. aviation regulator upgraded Indonesia’s safety rating in August.

However, the International Air Transport Association’s former chief executive, Tony Tyler, who stepped down in June, said in 2015 he was very concerned about airline safety in Indonesia. His comments reflected worries about rapid growth in the number of planes in the skies and the need to upgrade air traffic management systems. (ap)

Kerber has had several months to deal with the pomp and ceremony that goes with being world number one, having swiped the ranking from Serena Williams during her run to the U.S. Open title.

But a return to the Melbourne Park locker room where she celebrated her maiden grand slam success last year brought home the challenge lying ahead.

“I was walking from the transportation to the locker room where I remember I was sitting like 12 months ago after the final.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson (6) is defended

by LA Clippers guard Austin Rivers (25) during the NBA game at the Staples Center.

LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Clippers returned their Christmas gift.

Three weeks after losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in the prime time holiday game, the Clippers handed the Lakers a 113-97 beating in the rematch on Saturday at Staples Center.

The Lakers’ win on Christmas Day was one of only two they had in 16 December games and ended an 11-game winning streak for the Clippers in the L.A. rivalry.

But the Clippers were without Chris Paul and Blake Griffin due to injuries that day and lost J.J. Redick to a hamstring injury in mid-game.

Griffin remains out, recovering from knee surgery, but Paul and Redick were back at full strength

for the rematch as the Clippers (28-14) extended their January win streak to six games.

The Lakers (15-29), meanwhile, have gone 3-4 in January after a 2-14 December.

The Clippers re-asserted their dominance in the rivalry quickly Saturday.

Even with Paul and Redick hitting a combined 4-of-15 in the first half, the Clippers got off to a 10-4 start, went on an 11-0 run later in the first quarter (with Austin Rivers scoring nine points in the opening quarter) and built a 58-39 halftime lead.

Clippers center DeAndre Jordan had a double-double by halftime (12 points and 10 rebounds) and finished with a game-high 24 points on 12-of-13 shooting and added

21 rebounds for his second 20-20 game of the season.

The Lakers made what amounted to their only move of the day at the start of the second half.

With Brandon Ingram and Nick Young hitting back-to-back 3s, they started the third quarter with a 10-2 run that cut the Clippers lead to 11, 60-49.

But the Clippers responded with a 7-1 run of their own and the Lakers were never as close again.

After his slow shooting start, Paul finished with 20 points and 13 assists for the Clippers. Austin Rivers and Raymond Felton finished with 15 points each.

For the Lakers, their best production came from the bench as Jordan Clarkson led them with 21 points. (rtr)

Sp rt African Cup delights and bewilders on opening day in Gabon

LIBREVILLE — The African Cup of Nations surprised, delighted and bewildered on Saturday, as it tends to do, with a rank outsider stunning the host on opening day and Cameroon captain Benjamin Moukandjo scoring a wonderful goal.

Teams were also forced to abandon singing their national anthems

because of technical problems, and another squad was on strike

Performance during the opening ceremony of the Africa Nations Cup at the Stade de l’Amitie, Libreville, Gabon, Saturday, Jan. 14, 2017.

and refusing to train, requiring a delegation of 100 government officials from their country to fly in to solve the problem.

Gabon’s tournament began in the capital Libreville with a pair of 1-1 draws, starting with the host and striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, one of the hottest properties in European soccer, shocked by a 90th-minute equalizer by a Guinea-Bissau team of lowerleague battlers playing in their first major tournament. “We are very, very happy,” Guinea-Bissau coach Baciro Cande said. “Now we have the motivation to go as far as possible.”

Defender Juary Soares’ header, just as the clock hit 90 minutes at Stade de l’Amitie, threw up an unexpected start and meant Aubameyang’s goal wasn’t enough to give Gabon a winning start. Soares plays for a second division side in Portugal, but he took the limelight from Bundesliga top-scorer Aubameyang when he rose to meet a free kick right at the end and angled his header into the bottom corner.

The free kick was provided by Guinea-Bissau’s own star, midfielder Zezinho. But he’s a star in a different galaxy to Aubameyang.

Instead of the Champions League, Zezinho lights up the Greek Superleague. As Soares whirled away to celebrate wildly with teammates, Gabon’s home fans were silenced by the late bombshell. And then some booed.

They had gone through the full range of emotions at the start of an African championship they weren’t expecting to host for a second time in five years but were given after Libya withdrew. There was a sense that the central African country — co-host in 2012 — may not want it this time following disputed and

violent elections last year that saw President Ali Bongo Ondimba retain power.

There have also been deep cuts in health and education in Gabon, while at the same time Bongo’s government spent a reported $220 million on a new stadium, named after Bongo’s father, the president before him. That stadium was useless for this African Cup as it wasn’t finished on time.

Yet the appearance of a smiling Bongo, supposedly unpopular with some after deaths on the streets following the election in August, was greeted with rapturous cheers by the Gabonese before the game.

They then roared out the words to “La Concorde,” the national anthem.

The passion and excitement turned to exasperation as Gabon made no headway in the first half against the minnows. Inflatable tubes, swung up and down to the beat of the anthem shortly before, were hit in frustration against seats and metal rails. Gabon responded in the second half.

Denis Bouanga hit a curling right-foot shot that was pushed away by the Guinea-Bissau goalkeeper just before he provided the pass for Aubameyang to knock home the 2017 African Cup’s first goal in the 52nd minute. As he celebrated, Aubameyang cupped his hand to his ear, as if to ask the crowd why they had stopped cheering in the first half. By the end, they’d fallen silent again.

“It’s very difficult to win the first match in these tournaments,” Gabon’s high-profile Spanish coach Jose Antonio Camacho said.

In the second game, which follows swiftly at the same stadium in the African Cup’s early stages, Cameroon and Burkina Faso play-

ers were left bemused after no music played for their anthems.

The players attempted acapella versions, gave up, and were on the field limbering up for kickoff when the music kicked in. They didn’t bother going back. Organizers the Confederation of African Football apologized for the technical glitch.

Moukandjo was on-song though, sending a sweet free kick into the top left corner to give Cameroon a deserved lead. In an ending reminiscent of the first game, Burkina Faso defender Issoufou Dayo roamed forward for a free kick and eventually forced a header home for the equalizer.

While the action began in Libreville, Congo’s squad was into a second day of a strike in the remote town of Oyem over unpaid bonuses. The players posted a video on social media with them all huddled together and explaining their grievances. Meanwhile, Congo sports minister Willy Bakonga flew to Gabon with 99 aides to sort things out. Also, Togo coach Claude le Roy complained that his squad had been left stranded at Libreville’s crowded airport for five hours on Friday when their official transport failed to show up.

More tests of Gabon’s organization will come in the next few days when the African Cup pushes out to two cities it has never visited before, Oyem in the northern jungles, and the oil industry center of PortGentil in the south. Both those have new, untested stadiums and shaky infrastructure.

The African Cup is a party, just along the lines of an impromptu house party. It’s often not well thought out, and things get broken, but people do have fun. Just look at Guinea-Bissau. (ap)

Three-goal Chelsea make light of Costa loss LONDON - Two goals from Marcos Alonso and another from Pedro helped Chelsea overcome the absence of Diego Costa to beat Premier League champions Leicester City 3-0 away and move seven points clear at the top on Saturday.

Any sense they would miss their top scorer - officially injured but reported by British media to have had a row with manager Antonio Conte lasted the six minutes it took Alonso to

score with a right-foot shot after Eden Hazard’s lay-off.

Pedro almost doubled the lead with a neat free-kick near the end of the half before Alonso struck again six minutes after the interval with a shot that deflected in off Leicester’s Wes Morgan.

By that stage, Chelsea enjoyed almost complete control and Pedro wrapped up the win with a header from a move he began with an ex-

quisite flick as the Blues restated their title credentials to restore their lead over second-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who beat them 2-0 in their last league game.

“That was a very professional, solid, good performance on the back of the Spurs game,” said Chelsea’s Gary Cahill. “I’m proud of the lads.

It’s all about not looking back.”

Asked how difficult it was to cope without leading scorer Diego Costa,

who missed the game through injury, Cahill said: “When someone is miss-

ing we produce, someone else comes in.” (rtr)

Draxler scores again as PSG wins 1-0 at Rennes

PARIS — Winger Julian Draxler’s second goal in as many games showed why Paris Saint-Germain signed him as the defending champion won at Rennes 1-0 in the French league on Saturday.

Running onto an astute pass from midfielder Marco Verratti, and without breaking stride, the German curled in a delightful shot from the left of the penalty area into the bottom right corner in the 40th minute. “It was a great goal,” Verratti said. “We needed a player like this.”

PSG moved level on points with Monaco, which is in second place thanks to a better goal difference and plays on Sunday, as does leader Nice.

Draxler joined from Wolfsburg this month in a deal reportedly worth up to 47 million euros (about $49 million), and scored an equally good goal on debut in a 7-0 rout

of Bastia in the French Cup last weekend.

“He worked hard, scored a good goal,” PSG coach Unai Emery said. “He’s brought his quality to the team.”

The 23-year-old Draxler, a regular for Germany at last year’s European Championship, struggled to settle in at Wolfsburg after joining from Schalke early into last season and failed to score this season.

His arrival may not be great news for Angel Di Maria, who has been mostly out of form this season and faces tough competition from Draxler on the left wing, and from Lucas on the right.

It was a good day for Draxler, but not for Edinson Cavani, who stormed angrily past Emery when he was substituted with 20 minutes left. Di Maria also came on, and fell over backward trying to play a quick pass on a PSG counterat-

tack.

PSG won its previous three games, scoring 14 goals and conceding none, but they were at home and against poor sides.

A trip to Rennes — which had lost only once at home — offered a much tougher test, especially considering PSG lost four times away from home in the first half of the season. “It’s a big win for us,” PSG midfielder Blaise Matuidi said. “We’re not very confident away from home and needed the points.” PSG started in determined fashion and Cavani should have scored after just 40 seconds.

Having missed four chances in midweek when PSG beat Metz 2-0 to reach the League Cup semifinals, Cavani fluffed this one by poking wide of goal after being put clean through. PSG dominated the first half, with Rennes panicking and frequently losing the ball. (ap)

Icardi scores to help Inter fight back to beat Chievo 3-1

MILAN — Serie A’s top goalscorer will not be moving to the Chinese Super League anytime soon. Mauro Icardi scored again to help Inter Milan come from behind to beat Chievo Verona 3-1 on Saturday, and his goalscoring rate is sure to be garnering attention among the new pacesetters in the global transfer market.

However, Icardi, who turns 24 on Thursday, insists he is not about to follow the likes of Carlos Tevez, Axel Witsel, Oscar, and John Obi Mikel to China. “I renewed my contract at the beginning of the year and I’m happy to stay with this shirt,” Icardi said. “There’s always time to go to China at the end of my career.”

Icardi scored the equalizer in the 69th minute, volleying in Antonio Candreva’s stunning cross from the right.

Icardi’s 15th goal in 20 league matches moved him two clear of Roma forward Edin Dzeko and Torino’s Andrea Belotti in the goalscoring charts.

Icardi also had a hand in the winner, four minutes from time. He won the ball back in midfield and set up Ivan Perisic, who raced towards goal before firing past Stefano Sorrentino after the Chievo defenders backed away from him. Eder topped the scoring in stoppage time.

Inter extended its winning run in the league to five matches and moved up to fifth, level on points with AC Milan, which has played two matches less than Stefano Pioli’s side and visits Torino on Monday. Chievo remained 11th. “We had a great game,” Icardi said. “We’ve shown we have character for several games now.”

Inter dominated the match and only Sorrentino’s heroics in goal prevented it from taking the lead.

The 37-year-old goalkeeper made some fine stops, including twice preventing new signing Roberto Gagliardini from scoring on his debut. At the other end, a fellow veteran gave Chievo a surprise lead, completely against the run of play, with the 37-year-old Sergio Pellissier volleying in a corner.

Pellissier almost doubled his tally in the opening minute of the second half but Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic got down smartly to beat away his effort.

Sorrentino made another fantastic stop to keep out Perisic’s header from point-blank range, and he also twice denied Eder before he was finally beaten. Overall, Inter had 31 attempts on goal, 14 of which were on target. (ap)

Sp rt African Cup delights and bewilders on opening day in Gabon

LIBREVILLE — The African Cup of Nations surprised, delighted and bewildered on Saturday, as it tends to do, with a rank outsider stunning the host on opening day and Cameroon captain Benjamin Moukandjo scoring a wonderful goal.

Teams were also forced to abandon singing their national anthems

because of technical problems, and another squad was on strike

Performance during the opening ceremony of the Africa Nations Cup at the Stade de l’Amitie, Libreville, Gabon, Saturday, Jan. 14, 2017.

and refusing to train, requiring a delegation of 100 government officials from their country to fly in to solve the problem.

Gabon’s tournament began in the capital Libreville with a pair of 1-1 draws, starting with the host and striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, one of the hottest properties in European soccer, shocked by a 90th-minute equalizer by a Guinea-Bissau team of lowerleague battlers playing in their first major tournament. “We are very, very happy,” Guinea-Bissau coach Baciro Cande said. “Now we have the motivation to go as far as possible.”

Defender Juary Soares’ header, just as the clock hit 90 minutes at Stade de l’Amitie, threw up an unexpected start and meant Aubameyang’s goal wasn’t enough to give Gabon a winning start. Soares plays for a second division side in Portugal, but he took the limelight from Bundesliga top-scorer Aubameyang when he rose to meet a free kick right at the end and angled his header into the bottom corner.

The free kick was provided by Guinea-Bissau’s own star, midfielder Zezinho. But he’s a star in a different galaxy to Aubameyang.

Instead of the Champions League, Zezinho lights up the Greek Superleague. As Soares whirled away to celebrate wildly with teammates, Gabon’s home fans were silenced by the late bombshell. And then some booed.

They had gone through the full range of emotions at the start of an African championship they weren’t expecting to host for a second time in five years but were given after Libya withdrew. There was a sense that the central African country — co-host in 2012 — may not want it this time following disputed and

violent elections last year that saw President Ali Bongo Ondimba retain power.

There have also been deep cuts in health and education in Gabon, while at the same time Bongo’s government spent a reported $220 million on a new stadium, named after Bongo’s father, the president before him. That stadium was useless for this African Cup as it wasn’t finished on time.

Yet the appearance of a smiling Bongo, supposedly unpopular with some after deaths on the streets following the election in August, was greeted with rapturous cheers by the Gabonese before the game.

They then roared out the words to “La Concorde,” the national anthem.

The passion and excitement turned to exasperation as Gabon made no headway in the first half against the minnows. Inflatable tubes, swung up and down to the beat of the anthem shortly before, were hit in frustration against seats and metal rails. Gabon responded in the second half.

The emotions bubbled to the surface as the late-blooming left-hander was driven through the Melbourne Park gates for the first time since coming back this year.

And she was overcome again when walking side-by-side with men’s winner Novak Djokovic, the defending champions cradling their trophies on the way to the draw on Friday. Kerber has had several months to deal with the pomp and ceremony that goes with being world number one, having swiped the ranking from Serena Williams during her run to the U.S. Open title.

But a return to the Melbourne Park locker room where she celebrated her maiden grand slam success last year brought home the challenge lying ahead.

“I was walking from the transportation to the locker room where I remember I was sitting like 12 months ago after the final.

Nobody was there,” the hard-hitting German told reporters on Sunday.

“Now it’s a new tournament again and we are starting from zero and everybody is here again to play their best tennis.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson (6) is defended

by LA Clippers guard Austin Rivers (25) during the NBA game at the Staples Center.

LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Clippers returned their Christmas gift.

Three weeks after losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in the prime time holiday game, the Clippers handed the Lakers a 113-97 beating in the rematch on Saturday at Staples Center.

The Lakers’ win on Christmas Day was one of only two they had in 16 December games and ended an 11-game winning streak for the Clippers in the L.A. rivalry.

But the Clippers were without Chris Paul and Blake Griffin due to injuries that day and lost J.J. Redick to a hamstring injury in mid-game.

Griffin remains out, recovering from knee surgery, but Paul and Redick were back at full strength

for the rematch as the Clippers (28-14) extended their January win streak to six games.

The Lakers (15-29), meanwhile, have gone 3-4 in January after a 2-14 December.

The Clippers re-asserted their dominance in the rivalry quickly Saturday.

Even with Paul and Redick hitting a combined 4-of-15 in the first half, the Clippers got off to a 10-4 start, went on an 11-0 run later in the first quarter (with Austin Rivers scoring nine points in the opening quarter) and built a 58-39 halftime lead.

Clippers center DeAndre Jordan had a double-double by halftime (12 points and 10 rebounds) and finished with a game-high 24 points on 12-of-13 shooting and added

21 rebounds for his second 20-20 game of the season.

The Lakers made what amounted to their only move of the day at the start of the second half.

With Brandon Ingram and Nick Young hitting back-to-back 3s, they started the third quarter with a 10-2 run that cut the Clippers lead to 11, 60-49.

But the Clippers responded with a 7-1 run of their own and the Lakers were never as close again.

After his slow shooting start, Paul finished with 20 points and 13 assists for the Clippers. Austin Rivers and Raymond Felton finished with 15 points each.

For the Lakers, their best production came from the bench as Jordan Clarkson led them with 21 points. (rtr)

U.S.President-elect Donald Trump gestures to people in the lobby after speaking to the news media at Trump Tower in New York, U.S., January 13, 2017.

Trump attacks civil rights leader who questioned his election win

WASHINGTON - President-elect Donald Trump began a long holiday weekend that honors slain black civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. by attacking another rights activist and politician who had said he does not see Trump as a “legitimate president.”

U.S. Representative John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat, said on a segment of “Meet the Press” released

by NBC on Friday he thought hacking by Russians had helped Trump, a Republican, get elected in November.

Lewis said he does not plan to attend Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration, the first time he would miss such an event since being elected to the House in 1986.

On Saturday Trump tweeted that Lewis had falsely complained about the election results and instead “should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested).”

“All talk, talk, talk - no action or results. Sad!” Trump tweeted.

During the campaign, Trump said Democrats had failed African-Americans and Hispanics. “What the hell do you have to lose? Give me a chance,” he said at a rally last year in Ohio.

Trump won the presidency with less support from black and Hispanic voters than any president in the last

40 years, only 8 percent and 28 percent, respectively, polling data showed.

The 76-year-old Lewis, who has been a civil rights leader for more than half a century, was beaten by police during a march he helped lead in 1965 in Selma, Alabama, drawing attention to hurdles for blacks to vote. He protested alongside King that day and on other occasions.

“I believe in forgiveness,” Lewis said in the NBC segment about Trump. “I believe in trying to work with people,” he said. “It’s going to be very difficult. I don’t see this president-elect as a legitimate president.”

At least 10 other Democratic U.S. politicians have also said they plan to skip the inauguration, including Representatives Raul Grijalva, Lacy Clay and Mark Takano.

Supporters of Trump see him as a brash person who tells things as they are. His comments about Lewis came ahead of an anti-Trump march in Washington headed by the Rev. Al Sharpton. The protest by about 2,000 marchers kicked off a week of rallies planned by dozens of groups against Trump before, during and after the inauguration.

DisruptJ20, which is working with Black Lives Matter and other protest groups, said they are planning to disrupt balls celebrating the inauguration in Washington. (rtr)

Palestinian President Abbas says U.S. Embassy move would hurt peace VATICAN CITY - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas discussed the Middle East with Pope Francis on Saturday and said prospects for peace there will suffer if U.S. president-elect Donald Trump moves Washington’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

“We are waiting to see if it happens. If it does, it will not help peace and we hope it does not happen,” Abbas told reporters outside the Vatican gates minutes after 25 minutes of talks with the pope.

Abbas, who spoke through an interpreter, stopped in Rome to open the new embassy of the State of Palestine to the Vatican.

Trump’s promise to relocate the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem would upend decades of U.S. policy. Israel and the Palestinians, who are seeking a state of their own, both claim Jerusalem as their capital.

Successive U.S. administrations have said the city’s status must be negotiated.

Jerusalem, which Israeli has declared its “united and eternal capital,” is home to sites sacred to Jews, Muslims and Christians.

The Vatican, which keeps its embassy to Israel in Jaffa and also backs a two-state solution, implicitly recognised a Palestinian

state for years but in 2015 made it official by signing a treaty with the State of Palestine.

As he was leaving the pope’s study, Abbas said the opening of the new embassy to the Vatican was “a sign that the pope loves the people of Palestine and loves peace.”

In a statement, the Vatican called for a resumption of direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians “to bring an end to the violence that causes unacceptable suffering to civilian populations, and to find a just and lasting solution.”

It called for a climate that could lead to “courageous decisions”.

In an interview with Le Figaro newspaper on Saturday Abbas said he had written to Trump to warn him against moving the embassy.

“Not only would it strip the United States of all its legitimacy to play a role in resolving the conflict, but it would reduce to nothing a two-state solution.”

He said the Palestinians would discuss several options on how to respond after consultations with Arab states.

“Going back on our recognition of Israel is one of them, but we hope that we won’t get there and will be able to work with the next American administration,” Abbas said. (rtr)

President Jokowi discusses social justice with Islamic leader Haedar

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) met with Haedar Nashir, chief of Muhammadiyah, a major Islamic organization in the country, here, Friday to discuss efforts to promote social justice toward the development of the nation.

“We discussed a major problem facing our nation; the economic gap and its multiple aspects,” he informed the media after the meeting over lunch. Haedar said he had discussed reforms that could be implemented by the state, with the aid of Muhammadiyah, to build the countrys economy.

The President has to implement political and economic policies to boost the economic development of the nation, he revealed.

“Reforms are needed to overcome social problems, and make the middle and lower classes of the society prosperous,” he remarked.

Muhammadiyah has conveyed two things to the President, namely, the need to review the control of land, which is a state asset, for the good of the general public and protection of the community, so that all members can enjoy the benefits of the countrys natural resources, he explained.

The state must defend, empower and promote the welfare of the people, Haedar maintained. “It is impossible to promote the welfare of the people without the support of the political powers and the community, as they are vital elements needed to make the republic able and bring prosperity to the people, while protecting and advancing their interests,” he emphasized.

President Joko Widodo, Wednesday, had invited the chief of another major Islamic organization Nahdlatul Ulama to lunch, during which they discussed radicalism and intolerance. (ant)

FILE - In this Saturday, April 13, 2013, file photo, the wreckage of a Lion Air plane sits on the water near the airport in Bali, Indonesia. The head of Indonesia’s narcotics agency says most of the country’s airline accidents have involved pilots on drugs, including a Lion Air jet that slammed into the sea four years ago while trying to land on Bali.

Indonesia narcotics chief blames pilots on drugs for crashes

JAKARTA — Most of Indonesia’s airline accidents have involved pilots who tested positive for drugs, including a Lion Air jet that slammed into the sea four years ago while trying to land on the tourist island of Bali, the chief of the national narcotics agency said.

Budi Waseso made the comments Thursday at a ceremony on Bali to inaugurate traditional village security guards as anti-drug volunteers.

The comments are another blow to the image of the country’s airline industry after a video circulated online last month showing an apparently intoxicated pilot in the cockpit of a Citilink passenger plane. News reports this week said two pilots of another airline, Susi Air, owned by the country’s fisheries minister had recently tested positive for drugs.

“Almost all air accidents in Indonesia, whether it was just a skid or whatever, the pilots are indicated to be positive for drugs,” Waseso told reporters.

Earlier in the day he told the event attended by Bali’s governor that a Lion Air pilot in the spectacular 2013 crash

had “hallucinated” that the sea was part of the runway.

His comments are at odds with other official accounts. After the crash, which miraculously caused no fatalities among the 108 people on board, the transport ministry said the pilots had not tested positive for drugs. The final report blamed the accident, which occurred in rain, on poor communication between the pilots and inadequate trading.

Lion Air, the National Transport Safety Committee and the Ministry of Transport declined to comment.

Indonesian airlines were previously barred from flying to Europe and the United States but foreign air safety regulators have upgraded the country, allowing some airlines to resume flights. The U.S. aviation regulator upgraded Indonesia’s safety rating in August.

However, the International Air Transport Association’s former chief executive, Tony Tyler, who stepped down in June, said in 2015 he was very concerned about airline safety in Indonesia. His comments reflected worries about rapid growth in the number of planes in the skies and the need to upgrade air traffic management systems. (ap)

BUSINESS EU Brexit chief sees special care for financial service ties impact of Brexit on financial services trade between Britain and the EU but rather emphasising that Brussels would have to take special care not to ignore stability risks in London.

EQUIVALENCE The officials said he responded to a question on equivalence by noting that the extent of EU rules governing relations with non-EU financial centres was proportional to the volume of EU business conducted in them -- and so to the risk of, say, a bank collapse in London destabilising markets on the continent.

With, say, the United States, the EU has negotiated accords to recognise the “equivalence” of, for example, bank supervision standards to make it easier for European companies to use U.S. banks and let U.S. institutions sell services in the EU. The extent of such equivalence agreements has been a major concern for Britishbased banks wanting continued access to the EU market. Other EU governments have said they will welcome financial firms moving out of London and say Britain’s economy and its big services sector must pay a price for Brexit so that it does not inspire voters in other countries to follow suit.

EU ministers and officials acknowledge that damage to London’s global financial

“Both the UK and the EU will suffer,” Maltese Finance Minister Edward Scicluna said on Thursday as Malta took on the rotating chair of EU councils.

“We will lose that efficient centre,” he told reporters, forecasting that many financial firms would relocate to various cities in

the EU. “That will be a loss ... The EU will suffer once services are fragmented. It will be longer term.”

Nonetheless, Scicluna said, the signs of banks and other City firms preparing to move operations to other parts of the EU amid uncertainty about the terms of Brexit showed that the immediate cost was much greater for Britain.(rtr)

Anger as Mexicans fear higher food prices to follow gasoline hike

Demonstrators dress up as a Mexican politician and a U.S. politician during a protest against a fuel price hike in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico January 14, 2017.

MEXICO CITY - Mexicans who already feel the pinch from a gasoline price hike share economists fears it will now drive up the cost of food and other basics, adding to the unpopularity of the government ahead of elections this year and next.

Riots that broke out after a 14 percent increase in regular gas prices on Jan. 1 also reflected anger at President Enrique Pena Nieto over corruption, crime and the failure of reforms to improve living standards.

More increases in fuel prices are slated for February as the government phases out subsidies, but Pena Nieto vowed he would keep a lid on other consumer prices, and the central bank said any spike in inflation would be temporary.

In Mexico City’s Granada mar-

ket this week, few gave credence to such reassurances, a sign of the risk for the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party in governor elections this year and the 2018 presidential vote.

“I don’t believe the president at all,” said housewife Fabiola Hernandez as she left a market with corn tortillas from a shop that had just raised prices by 1 Mexican peso ($0.05) following the gasoline hike.

The head of Mexico’s tortilla association said prices for a kilo of the flat corn patties that are staple to the Mexican diet would rise by between 1 and 3 pesos this month above prices of 10 to 16 pesos per kilo last year, daily El Universal said.

“Really, I do not see a good outlook. People are really mad,”

Hernandez said. “I don’t think there is going to be any benefit or that prices will remain the same, I think they are going to have to go up,” she said. A bigger jump in tortilla prices sparked protests in 2007.

“Providers have to raise prices because of the gasoline,” said trader Florentino Aguilar as he chopped raw chicken at another market. “That affects me because I don’t want to drastically jump to a high price because people get frightened.”

PESO WOES Inflation is also fanned higher by a record slump in the peso on fears U.S. President-elect Donald Trump could crimp trade with Mexico.

Analysts say the peso could fall further if Trump slaps a threatened tax on exports from Mexico. (rtr)

BRUSSELS - The European Union’s Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said on Saturday that the EU will demand “special vigilance” before letting British financial firms access the bloc because of the large risk London could pose to the EU’s financial stability.

Responding to a report in the Guardian which said he had told EU lawmakers that he wanted a special deal to maintain EU firms’ access to the City of London, Barnier tweeted: “When asked on equivalence I said: EU would need special vigilance on financial stability risk, not special deal to access the City.”

An EU spokesman said the Guardian report did “not correctly reflect” Barnier’s comments to a closed door meeting with members of the European Parliament last week.

EU officials said the point Barnier was making when asked about Brussels’ willingness after Brexit to recognise British financial regulations as “equivalent” in rigour to those of the EU was that, as a lot of EU business was likely to still pass through the City, EU equivalence rules would have to be much more tightly drafted compared to those for smaller centres.

The Guardian quoted minutes prepared by parliamentary aides as saying Barnier told lawmakers: “Some very specific work has to be done in this area ... There will be a special/specific relationship. There will need to be work outside of the negotiation box ... in order to avoid financial instability.”

EU officials said Barnier, a Frenchman who ran EU financial services policy, was not speaking of a “special deal” to limit the

Ngoncang Poses an Expression of Gratitude after Rice Harvest The art of ngoncang or pounding mortar also enlivened the opening of the Buleleng Festival (Bulfest) 2016. No half-heartedly, there are ten pounding art troupes presenting this agrarian art predominantly used in religious ceremonies.

Malaysian communities in denial after major paedophile case-police

KUALA LUMPUR - More than six months after Richard Huckle was sentenced to life in jail for sexually abusing scores of children, most of the families in the Malaysian communities where he lived are declining counselling and other help, police say.

Huckle had posed as a freelance photographer, English teacher and Western philanthropist over the past decade to gain access mostly to impoverished communities in Kuala Lumpur, where taboos around child sex abuse often prevent families from disclosing it.

Police reached out to 320 adults and 101 children in two communities affected by Huckle, Ong Chin Lan, the head of the Sexual, Women and Children Investigation Division of the Malaysian national police said in an interview.

“We have identified a few victims. We have tried to identify communities,” Ong said. “But we respect the parents and guardians’ four dead deer and other evidences such as two rifles and car will be handed over to police for further action.

Even though they have been intercepted, the five culprits who had dropped out of the car could escape. The officers secured a silver-colored Suzuki APV car with license plate DK 573 IS at the exit gates in the front of the Tegalbunder Section II office.

As information, the arrest started from the information of the TNBB officers in charge of night shift at section II in the Buleleng region approximately at 00:30. Around Prapat Agung, there was suspicious activity using private car. It was suspected as a poaching in the conservation

area. After that, four forest rangers were deployed to intercept at the exit gates around Tegalbunder.

Approximately at 03:00, the car was about to go out and stopped for inspection. Five people were out of the car. When examined, some evidences of hunting like rifles and dead deer were found. When would be examined, the five culprits fled into the woods. Forest rangers had given twice warning shots but they

still ran into the forest. Until Saturday morning, forest rangers still combed the forest, while the APV car is secured.

TNBB administrative subdivision head, Wiryawan, confirmed the arrest on Saturday. The arrest was made when the officers intercepted at the exit gates in front of the section II office at Tegalbunder area. The officers secured two assembled rifles of caliber 5.5 mm,

SAFETY WORKSHOPS At the downtown Kuala Lumpur community where Huckle lived, residents avoid discussing the issue, according to its community leader. For nearly two years, Huckle roamed the streets of this tightknit community with a camera, participating in the neighbourhood Hindu temple’s religious festivals and sports events, according to residents.

The community, which Reuters is not naming to protect the identities of the children there, was informed of Huckle’s crimes by British police and NGOs in early 2016. The possibility that Huckle might have abused children there prompted several village meetings

four heads of dead deer (Muntiacus muncak), a bayonet, flashlights and car.

“A dead deer is pregnant and we know when taking the bullet projectile,” he said. The TNBB authority will bury the four dead deer that have started decomposing.

Furthermore, the other evidences such as two rifles and car will be handed over to police for further action. (kmb26)

Traditional culture to be performed at BAF

AMLAPURA - Traditional cultures have become distinctive appeal for Bali.

Moreover, Bali has a lot of traditions currently started to be explored in order to boost tourism in Bali. To empower the potential of traditional culture, the Bali Culture Agency plans to display the culture of each district / municipality across Bali in the parade of the Bali Arts Festival (BAF) this year.

This was affirmed by the Head of the Bali Culture Agency, Dewa Putu Beratha, when met at Asak village, Karangasem, on Tuesday (Jan. 10). He said that all this time there are still opportunities for the potential of traditional cultures to appear in the BAF parade. Thus, this will be done in this year’s BAF parade. “Later on, the nine

districts and municipality will be obliged to display traditional cultures in the parade,” said Dewa Putu Beratha.

According to him, for Karangasem in particular, it is not difficult to feature two or three traditional cultures in the parade. Karangasem is a storehouse of traditional cultures in Bali. Moreover, last year two traditional cultures, namely terteran of Jasri village and gebug ende of Seraya village have been recognized as national intangible cultural heritage. This year, it will be proposed two potentials of traditional culture, namely the implementation of usaba dangsil at Bungaya village and mageret pandan at Tenganan Pegringsingan.

He confirmed that with the opportunities

to appear in the BAF parade, each district / municipality in Bali continues to explore the potential of traditional culture. The traditional culture has become a unique identity for Bali. If possible, it can soon be proposed into a national cultural heritage, so that later on the government will also have a responsibility in preserving and developing the traditional culture itself in Bali.

In line with the preservation of Balinese identity through traditional culture, his agency confirmed that currently Bali has some events. Aside from the BAF, there are also Bali Mahalango and Bali Mandala Nawa Natya. Especially for the Bali Mandala Nawa Natya, this year has entered the second annual implementa-

and discussions, the leader said.

But once the case became public knowledge in June, the media attention that followed left the residents wary of publicity.

“We were all shaken for 2-3 weeks but now we don’t talk about it,” the community leader said.

He insisted there were no victims in his community, despite media reports stating otherwise.

The only reminder of Huckle now is the safety workshops conducted by Protect and Save the Children (PSC), an NGO that has been in touch with the community since early last year. PSC is holding workshops to teach children about good and bad touching, hoping Huckle’s victims will come forward so they can be offered counselling.

Only around 20 of the 70 children in the ethnic Indian community have attended the workshops. (rtr)

Ong said police, along with the women’s ministry and nongovernmental organisations, have conducted programmes focusing on providing counselling and therapy for the victims and their families.

She did not say how many have participated.

“They (communities) are still in denial,” Ong said. “I believe some of the parents don’t even know their children have been sexually abused. They say leave my child alone. Let my child live a peaceful life from here on.”

tion. It is devoted to give the opportunity to the art lovers of younger generation in order to perform and jointly love their culture. “Young generation has to grow the awareness of their culture. This becomes a preservation process of the identity of Bali,” he said.

The Bali Mandala Nawa Natya, said Dewa Putu Beratha, is meant to provide an opportunity for younger generation to explore their talent in culture. Many art studios coaching younger generations participate in this event. The implementation runs throughout a year coming with a different theme each month. Apparently this event is able to boost the interest of younger generation in the cultural preservation. (kmb31)

While most were teenaged boys, the agency said a growing number of girls were also making the perilous sea journey and were at risk of sexual exploitation.

“These figures indicate an alarming trend of an increasing number of highly vulnerable children risking their lives to get to Europe,” said Lucio Melandri, UNICEF’s emergency manager.

“Current systems in place are failing to protect these children who find themselves alone in a totally unfamiliar environment. Because they are on the move, a coordinated European response is needed to keep them safe.”

Last year a record 181,000 boat migrants, mostly from Africa, reached Italy. The majority paid Libyan people traffickers to make the journey.

Britain’s May to call for national unity in major Brexit speech LONDON - Prime Minister Theresa May will use a major speech on Brexit next week to call on Britons to reject the acrimony of last year’s referendum and unite around the vision of a Britain more open to the world, her office said on Sunday.

May intends to kick off the formal process of negotiating the terms of Britain’s exit from the European Union by the end of March, but has given little away about what deal she will be seeking, frustrating some investors, businesses and lawmakers.

She is due to make a speech in London on Tuesday before an audience including foreign diplomats as well as Britain’s own Brexit negotiating team and other senior officials, May’s Downing Street office said in a statement.

It said she would stress the need for Britons, who voted for Brexit by 52 to 48 percent in last June’s referendum after a deeply divisive campaign, to unite around common goals such as protecting and enhancing workers’ rights.

“Now we need to put an end to the division and the language associated with it - ‘Leaver’ and ‘Remainer’ and all the accompanying insults - and unite to make a success of Brexit and build a truly Global Britain,” May is expected to say.

The extracts of May’s speech did not say whether she would reveal her stance on one of the key questions: whether she will try and keep Britain within the European single market or customs union or, if not, what level of access she will aim for. (rtr)

Bamboo birdcage craft

Search bamboo alone, enough to meet family needs

BANGLI - Since Bangli is a bambooproducing region, people continue to think creatively and maximize bamboo use into craft products. In addition to woven bamboo crafts, people also make bamboo birdcage.

One of the bamboo birdcage craftsmen is Sang Gede Jati from Peninjoan hamlet, Peninjoan, Tembuku.

Elvis Express rolls into Parkes for festival to celebrate the King

PARKES - Elvis may have left the building almost 40 years ago, but he and several clones have just arrived on a train chugging into Parkes railway station from Sydney, marking the start of the 25th Parkes Elvis Festival in the southeastern Australian town.

For five days in early January,

“the King of Rock and Roll” lives on in this celebration of all things Elvis, including a tribute contest, a Miss Priscilla lookalike competition, a parade and gala dinner, and even a renewal of vows ceremony presided over by Elvis himself.

This year, the iconic festival is themed after Elvis’ classic 1964

film “Viva Las Vegas”, with fans donning not only rhinestone-studded jumpsuits and their best wigs, but also sequins and feathers, as buskers entertain the crowds.

Parkes’ population balloons to almost double its size during the festivities, with organisers expecting between 25,000 and 30,000

people to attend in 2017, but the concept was not always welcomed by locals.

“I think there was a bit of a cringe factor really with most people, including myself”, said Parkes local and retiree Bob Bokeyar. “But I think we have come to love Elvis and love the festival over the years.”

First held in 1993, the festival was the brainchild of husband and wife Bob and Anne Steel, who then owned the Gracelands restaurant in this quiet town in New South Wales.

January was thought to be the best time for the festival as it coincided with Presley’s birthday on January 8. (rtr)

When visiting him at his home, he said that the business has been initiated since decades ago. This man graduating from SMA TP45 Bangli high school has some experiences in bamboo craft making at some places. Before making birdcage crafts, he worked at a bamboo chair maker in Denpasar.

“I have made bamboo birdcage crafts since 2002. At first, I have a hobby in raising birds. From this, I got the idea to make bamboo birdcage,” said Sang Gede Jati while adding that most birdcages he currently makes are for zosterops.

Today, most orders are for zosterops birdcage.

Considering the bird lovers currently tend to favor zosterops, the birdcage orders received are mostly for this bird, while the standard size is normally for chestnut-capped thrush and other birds.

“Lately, more orders are for zosterops. The birdcage

has much smaller size. Since zosterops is commonly involved in contest, we receive more cage orders for this bird. They are from Gianyar, Klungkung, Denpasar and Tabanan, including Bangli itself. We are grateful as the result of this craft is very helpful to sustain our family daily needs,” he said.

He can produce two to three birdcages of zosterops every day and one to two birdcages of larger size. “The workmanship is in appropriate with the size. If the size is smaller, I can produce more pieces and fewer pieces for larger size,” he said with a smile.

The selling price is set in accordance with the size ordered. Besides, it also depends on the motive of the birdcage ordered considering that he makes several types of birdcage. “A small cage for zosterops is sold for IDR 50,000, while the larger size is for IDR 125,000-IDR 150,000. Then, a birdcage with more beautiful motive is sold for IDR 180,000-IDR 200,000,” he said.

The birdcage is entirely made from his own bamboo without having to purchase. The bamboo in use belongs to petung, tali, jajang and ampel variety. “Indeed I never purchase the bamboo material because I have owned so that it just needs to take from its clusters.

Therefor, I never run out of material,” said Sang Gede Jati. (kmb41)

Project Sweet Tooth

Tradition ends in noble activity DENPASAR - Starting from a tradition, it becomes a noble social action. Perhaps this expression is worth giving to the three sisters consisting of Madeline, Olivia and Beatrice Safavi.

They typically get a lot of sweets from neighbors and relatives on Halloween Day. They want to share the sweets with other children that are not as fortunate as them.

“We are impossible to consume the entire sweets. So, we would like to give it to other children who may have never been given sweets by others,” said Madeline when met on Friday (Jan. 6). This social action named Project Sweet Tooth was initially followed by some children.

However, now all the students at their school in Singapore also participate in the noble action. “Most children under 15 years old contributed their sweets. There are totally around 1,000 people,” said Madeline.

According to her, the sweets are symbol of something very much favored by children. “By sharing the most valuable thing for us, then our empathy will emerge and be willing to share anything with others. On the contrary, for those who receive it will be very meaningful because they are receiving something valuable,” said Madeline.

In the meantime, Olivia explained that the sweets were donated to several places and one of them is an

orphanage in Bali. When asked why she chose Bali, Olivia stated that since she first came to this island, she often saw abandoned children. “I’m sad to see this reality and want to share, even though they are only sweets because these are the only things we have today,” she added.

In addition to Singapore and Bali, in 2015 the Project Sweet Tooth decided to send sweets in large quantities to Germany to be forwarded to children of the Syrian war refugees. The initiative got a lot of praise. Moreover, German Chancellor Angela Merkel personally sent a letter of thanks.

“We are very happy especially when seeing the excited faces of children who are enjoying the sweets,” said Beatrice, the youngest. For 2017, one of the orphanages in Bangli is selected to receive it. Dozens of candy packages are brought from Singapore to be shared there.

“Hopefully, more and more people will be inspired by this activity. They do not have to donate sweets but whatever they possess can be contributed to ease the burden on less fortunate children,” said Madeline. The Project Sweet Tooth having been running for ten years has donated more than 100,000 sweets. (ad)

DENPASAR - Bali provincial government is now trying to explore the potential of new regional revenue source through waste management services. In this case, the transport of waste from the source or the temporary disposal site to final landfill will be charged a levy.

This levy to downstream waste management services will be set forth in the amendment draft of the regional bylaw (Perda) No.2/2011 on public service levies.

“In the past, we did not collect any levies to the waste in downstream, but now we do it. In the upstream people collect it, then they transport to downstream known as the regional landfill,” said the Head of the Bali Revenue Services, Made Santha, in Denpasar on Friday (Jan.13).

According to Santha, there are approximately 4,600 cubic meters of waste sent to Suwung regional landfill per month. The potential of revenue to be obtained can reach around IDR 2.8 billion per year from waste levies. Principles and objectives of the levy to public services will be determined by taking into account the cost of providing the services, people’s capability, fairness aspect and effectiveness of controls over the services. Calculation of the levy will cover the cost of waste collection from the sources, transport cost from temporary disposal site to final landfill, the cost of providing location of the disposal or demolition to the cost of management.

“When people are charged with levy, it is based on consideration that there is provision of services. The government has calculated with reasonable rates. It costs approximately IDR 2,500 per cubic meter,” he

explained.

Santha added that so far the provincial government as the landfill owner has not got anything. It just receives the waste as well as must spend cost and resources to perform it. The revenue earned will go into the regional treasure that will be expended for funding program of activities.

Technical Section Head of Waste Management Unit, Ni Made Armadi, said that the results of calculation of the operating cost and maintenance cost divided by services gets the amount of IDR 2,500 per cubic meter, without counting the cost of investment. The investment cost includes the cost of construction as well as the making of WWTP and revetment.

“Yesterday we used the data of operating cost in November and December amounting to IDR 3.6 billion, so that we get IDR 2,559. We round it off to IDR 2,500 per cubic meter. As planned, it will be subsidized. It means that we do not need additional investment,” she said.

Armadi asserted that government of Bali province only collects levies at the regional landfill. When it is not regional, the authority to collect the levies is done by district / municipal government. For instance, Buleleng, Jembrana and Karangasem manage their waste in their respective district. However, her agency will still discuss further related to the levies for the Sanitation and Landscaping Agency that transports the waste to Suwung landfill.

“There is government directly transporting waste to Suwung landfill. We are still discussing about the regulation whether the government trucks will be charged the levies or not. In the regulation, the waste of public facilities and places worship is not charged,” she explained. (kmb32)

GIANYAR - Gianyar Tourism Office glanced at the potential of Indian tourists visit. It is following the trend of tourist visit from the country that tends to continuously increase each year.

Head of the Gianyar Tourism Office, A.A. Ari Brahmanta, said on Friday (Jan. 13) the visit to Gianyar is still dominated by travelers from China, Europe and America. But lately, the visits of Indian travelers are also on the rise. This condition makes his agency attempt to gain market share of Indian travelers as maximal as possible.

According to him, the interest of Indian travelers in Bali, especially Gianyar, is inseparable from the element of cultural similarities. In Gianyar, there are many heritages of Hindu culture which are very worthy to be offered as tourist attraction.

“So, we’ll work on the tourism market of India more seriously. The others such as Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand mostly make a visit to Yogyakarta and West Java. It happens because of cultural elements including the shopping tourism growing in Yogyakarta and West Java,” he said.

Related to tourism promotion, Ari Brahmanta mentioned that his agency will intensify internal promotion. In other words, the

Activities

International

promotion will be predominantly conducted through local events in Gianyar. In addition, promotion will also be conducted through cooperation with the Indonesia Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI), travel agencies and tourism associations.

“Essentially, we do not go there (outside the region--Ed), but we invite them to come to Gianyar.

Through travel agencies we will continuously promote Gianyar overseas,” he explained.

In the near future, the Tourism Office will formulate a marketing strategy with a number of tourism stakeholders. So far, the marketing remains to apply the old strategies.

However, if there will be formulation of pattern considered more effective, then it will be surely applied.

Further, he said that to complete the attraction of Gianyar, his agency considered the need for developing alternative tourism such as culinary tourism.

Other than having great potential in the form of traditional culinary treasures, there is a trend where travelers also look for something to do with healthy food. “This is adequately potential to be developed. We’ll try to work on the potential of organic food,” he concluded. (kmb25)

Priyanka Chopra recovering after mishap on ‘Quantico’ set

LOS ANGELES - Actress Priyanka Chopra is resting at home after a “minor incident” on the set of her ABC show “Quantico,” the network said Friday.

Celebrity news website TMZ, citing unnamed sources, said Chopra had slipped and fallen during a stunt and suffered a concussion after hitting her head. In a statement, ABC did not confirm this but said a “minor incident” took place on the New York set of the FBI drama series on Thursday night.

“It would be premature to comment further until we have all the information. Priyanka was examined by a doctor, released and is home resting comfortably,” the network added.

A representative for the actress said she will return to work after the weekend.

Walt Disney Co.’s ABC did not comment further on whether production of the show will be halted, but trade publication Variety said production will not be shut down while Chopra recovers.

Chopra, 34, made her transition from Bollywood to Hollywood as the lead of “Quantico,” in which she plays an FBI recruit turned CIA agent. She will also be starring in the upcoming film reboot of “Baywatch.” (rtr)

More freezing rain, temperatures expected for central US

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A third wave of sleet and drizzle could hit parts of the central U.S. on the eve of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, weather officials said, and temperatures threaten to stay near or below freezing and add to the treacherous mix.

Ice buildups of one-quarter to slightly less than a half inch were expected late Saturday and Sunday morning from southeastern Kansas to central Missouri.

Becky Allmeroth, a state maintenance engineer for the Missouri Department of Transportation, said ice is “the most difficult storm to fight.”

“We are keeping up with the changing conditions, but it is a continual battle,” she said of the department’s around-the-clock scrambling to treat the glazed roads. “The precipitation is coming in waves, and we have to apply more salt.”

Icy roads Saturday created dangerous conditions and travel head-

aches for many people who avoided authorities’ pleas to stay indoors except for necessary outings.

Interstate 40 in western Oklahoma was closed in two places because of wrecks, including the jackknifing of several semitrailers in icy conditions in Caddo County. And along an icy part of I-40 in Custer County, a 45-year-old Oklahoma City man died after his semitrailer struck two others early Saturday and then was hit by a car. The patrol is investigating the wreck.

Saturday’s storm followed one Friday that dumped freezing rain from Oklahoma to southern Illinois.

A slick roadway was suspected in

a Missouri wreck Friday that killed a 33-year-old woman whose sport utility vehicle slid on an icy freeway overpass south of St. Louis and struck several trees. Later Friday, icy conditions were blamed for a pileup involving more than 20 vehicles in Wichita, Kansas, but no serious injuries were reported.

The storm’s onset prompted the NFL to move the AFC divisional playoff game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and host team the Kansas Chiefs to Sunday evening to allow more time to treat roads and parking lots at Arrowhead Stadium.

The game was scheduled to kick off at noon but now will start at 7:20 p.m.

Many residents had prepared for the storms by stocking up on bread, milk and other necessities and by buying flashlights and generators to have on hand in case power gets knocked out.(ap)
