‘Captain America’ Soars to $73 Million, ‘Money Monster’ Opens With $15 Million
LOS ANGELES - Disney-Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” remains dominant at U.S. theaters with $72.6 million at 4,426 U.S. locations -- the eighth-largest second weekend of all time. George Clooney-Julia Roberts thriller “Money Monster” opened respectably with $15 million. BH Tilt’s low-budget horror-thriller “The Darkness,” starring Kevin Bacon and Radha Mitchell, scared up $5.2 million at 1,754 sites in a Friday the 13th launch aimed at horror fans. “Civil War” showed impressive staying power after it launched with $179.1 million last weekend, the fifthhighest of all time. The 59% decrease is in the same range as two other Marvel-Disney tentpoles: last year’s
“Avengers: Age of Ultron” and 2013’s “Iron Man 3.” “Civil War” has taken in $295.9 million at the domestic box office in its first ten days. Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst with ComScore, said “Civil War” is keeping the box office momentum going for a strong summer season. “’Captain America: Civil War’ continues to benefit from good oldfashioned word-of-mouth, an irresistible concept and its delivery of a flatout perfect summer popcorn movie

experience and that has powered the film to close to $300 million after just ten days in North American theaters,” he added. “The newcomers did as expected considering the overwhelming strength of the latest Marvel extravaganza and both ‘Money Monster’ and ‘The Darkness’ performed perfectly in line with expectations and offered something new and different for audiences.” “Captain America: Civil War” will become the 11th title to have exceeded $70 million in its second weekend. That list is headed by “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” with $149 million, “Jurassic World” with $106.6 million, “Marvel’s The Avengers” with $103.1 million, “Avengers: Age of Ultron” with $77.7 million, “Avatar” with $75.6 million, “The Dark Knight” with $75.2 million and “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” at $74.2 million. Sony’s “Money Monster” was able to provide viable counter-programming aimed at adults, finishing well above recent forecasts. Directed by Jodie Foster, “Monster” generated solid buzz from its world premiere on Thursday night at the Cannes Film Festival and saw a 22% gain in business from Friday to Saturday. Disney’s fifth weekend of “The Jungle Book” continued to show remarkable staying power with $17.8 million at 3,970 locations for a second place finish. The comedy-adventure declined a mere 27% from the previous frame and will wind up the weekend with more than $311 million domestically. (rtr)

Colombian police seize 8 tonnes of cocaine near Panama border
BOGOTA - Colombian national police confiscated 8 tonnes of cocaine along the border with Panama, the government said on Sunday, in what may be one of the largest seizures in the country in recent years. The haul, with an estimated value of $240 million, was discovered in an underground hideaway on a ba-
nana plantation in the municipality of Turbo in Antioquia department, officials said.
“The biggest seizure of drugs in history. A hit against criminals,” Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said on Twitter. Three people were arrested in the operation. Defense Minister Luis Carlos Villegas said the drugs belonged to the Clan Usuga crime gang. The
United States has offered a $5 million reward for the capture of the gang’s leader. Colombia produces some 442 tonnes of cocaine annually, according to the United Nations. Colombian authorities seized 252 tonnes of the narcotic in 2015.(rtr)

and more predators of girls are wandering. On that account, parents must be vigilant and keeping their children seriously. “Currently we have had an emergency of violence against children of the nation,” said a legal
practitioner, Haposan Sihombing, Sunday (May 15). According to him, the increasingly widespread phenomenon of violence leading to the death of children is caused by several factors. Firstly, the moderniza-
tion often delivers violence. This means that there are no restrictions on device of media access. “We observe that it is so easy to access pornographic sites,” he said.
Emergency of child sexual violence
SEXUAL violence cases against children, including students, are increasingly widespread. The
perpetrators even rape abuzz the victims to die. Severe penalties have been imposed on the perpetrators but they have not made similar incidents subside. In Bali, the cases of sexual abuse, rape and escape minors continue to occur. More

Secondly, the factor of parenting in families is more oriented in material pursuits without paying attention to the need for togetherness in the family. The third factor is the threat to the perpetrators of violence having not resulted in a deterrent effect. It means the legal discourse on emasculation has gained support from various
circles but it remains under debates. For the law enforcement officials, especially police authority, said Haposan, in order to understand about the case from the beginning it certainly needs to make cooperation with the institutions concerned in the form of extension. With the extension, the information on the haunting hazards can certainly be understood by the public so that they have a growing awareness of being vigilant and try to anticipate them. “Actually the prevention has
been attempted but the factors of globalization and moral strengthening can be set aside by information technology. Currently it is so easy to open or access to websites of pornography, violence and so on,” said Haposan. He was deeply concerned about the case of obscenity against children increasingly widespread. He hoped the perpetrators could be punished severely while the government and the public alike seek to cope with the acts of sexual abuse
against children. “Anticipative efforts are better. The government, law enforcement agencies and the public have to promote security system in the region, including at schools,” he hoped. In the meantime, an academician, A.A. Gede Putra Arjawa, stated that the development of science and technology is unstoppable and in the virtual world children are free to access pornographic images. “Our government has not prevented it from making excessive. Parents
are quite busy so that their children get less attention and supervision. Education is also less instilled on the current children,” he said. On that account, parental attention and affection must be improved, not by fulfilling all the wishes of children like purchasing them sophisticated smartphones. In addition, according to Arjawa, children must be invited to communicate as a partner. Their character education is enhanced and trained with useful activities. (rah)
Denpasar municipality asked to draft regulation on billboards
DENPASAR —
Arrangement of billboard in Denpasar has been conducted since 2014. It was begun with a moratorium on the installation of billboards at 24 strategic road sections in Denpasar. The moratorium has ended in May 2014. Currently, the arrangement of billboard in Denpasar still applies the legal basis of mayoral regulation on the billboards. On that account, the Denpasar House of Representatives hoped the municipal government to immediately work on the regulation bylaw draft on billboards. This was confirmed by a member of Commission III of the Denpasar House of Representatives, A.A. Susruta Ngurah Putra, in Denpasar, Sunday (May 15). Aside from the regulation bylaw on billboard, a number of mayoral regulations having no higher legal basis must be made regional bylaw in the near future. In addition to regional bylaw on billboards, the Denpasar municipality is also considered necessary to work on regulations concerning modern stores. All this time, the arrangement of modern stores in Denpasar still applies mayoral regulation. “We expect the executive to draft regional bylaw to strengthen the regulation that all this time only applies the mayoral regulation,” said Susruta. Other regional bylaws needing to be worked include the detailed spatial plan (RDTR). This regulation bylaw becomes a derivative of the regional bylaw on the regional spatial plan (RTRW) passed a few years ago. “This regulation is urgently needed because of the existence of land area in Denpasar is small. Thus, there should be a clear reference in order to avoid violation of zoning,” said this Democratic
politician. Associated with the regional bylaw on billboards, all this time the Denpasar municipality has also finalized the zoning of billboard installation at several strategic locations. Master plan of the billboard installation zoning has been successfully completed by planner consultant. With the completion of the master plan, Denpasar municipality through other relevant agencies has done enforcement against the offenders of billboard installation. In addition, the permit of some billboards and billboard stages is no longer extended. Moratorium on the billboard installation applied to 24 points in Denpasar starting to take place in the mid of last year refers to Mayoral Regulation No 14/2013 on the Temporary Billboard Permit Delays in Denpasar, specifically article 4, paragraph 2. Moreover, it also refers to Mayoral Regulation No. 15/2013 on the Implementation of Billboards in the city of Denpasar. In 2015, the Denpasar House of Representatives was managed to make 12 regional bylaws outside the draft on regional budget and budgetary amendment. The regional bylaws include the public order, amendment of regional bylaw concerning the property acquisition tax (BPHTB), business permit of construction services, lodging
registration, street vendors, cultural heritage management, tourism business registration services, and the principles of regional financial management. In addition, there is also a waste management regulation, organization of archives, buildings as well as environmental protection and management. Then in 2016, some regional bylaw drafts have been approved
as regional bylaws. Among them, there are regulations concerning with public order, street vendors, waste management, regional bylaw on the BPHTB denoting revision of previous regulations, principles of regional financial management (P3KD) and regional bylaw draft on buildings. The parliament through its special committee also successfully completed the regional

bylaw draft about parking tax, and headman election. Having accomplished the regional bylaw drafts, last weeks the parliament received four regional bylaw drafts. They consist of regional bylaw draft on legal aids, organizational structure and governance of headman, asset management and transportation management. (kmb12)

Early snowbirds? Florida sinkhole yields ancient artifacts
DC Fisher/University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology via AP
In this 2012 photo provided by the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology, Jessi Halligan, left, and other researchers hold a partially reassembled Mastodon tusk from the Page-Ladson archaeological site in Florida. Scientists said the mastodon tusk had long, deep grooves which were made by people, probably as they worked to remove the tusk from a skull.
offers “far better” evidence for early humans than the earlier research did, he said. The sinkhole is nearly 200 feet wide. In ancient times, it had a shallow pond at the bottom. That offered fresh water and a gathering point for animals, which “probably would have been easy pickings” for hunters who saw them trapped in the deep depression, Waters said. Today, the sinkhole is filled with about 30 feet of water, and it took divers equipped with head-mounted lights to look for artifacts. It was “as dark as the inside of a cow, literally no light at all,” said Jessi Halligan, the lead diving scientist and an assistant professor of anthropology at Florida State University in Tallahassee. They found the knife while digging with a trowel. It’s a couple of inches long and about an inch wide, sharpened on both sides.
To determine its age, the researchers used nearby mastodon dung, which contained twigs that could be analyzed. The twigs, and therefore the knife, were found to be about 14,550 years old. Man-made stone flakes were found to be about the same age. The scientists also examined a mastodon tusk recovered in 1993, and confirmed that its long, deep grooves were made by people, probably as they worked to remove the tusk from a skull. The first people in North America are thought to have crossed a nowsubmerged land bridge from Siberia to Alaska. From there, people spread southward. Waters said the age of the sinkhole artifacts adds to evidence that people may have migrated south from Alaska as early as 16,000 years ago by boat along the coast, because inland Canada was blocked by ice sheets until 2,000 years later.(ap)
WASHINGTON — We share our bodies and surroundings with teeming communities of microbes that are crucial to the health of people and the planet, and now the Obama administration is beginning a major project to better understand those invisible ecosystems — and even control them. The National Microbiome Initiative announced Friday at the White House aims to bring together scientists who study the microbes that live in the human gut and in the oceans, in farm soil and inside buildings, to speed discoveries that could bring big payoffs. Consider: Taking antibiotics alters the diversity of your gut bacteria, which eventually settle into a new normal. The 2010 oil spill altered microbes in the Gulf of Mexico, which likewise settled into a new normal, said Dr. Jo Handelsman, associate director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Despite the parallels, “we
have no idea if that’s a healthier norm or a less healthy norm than before, and no idea how to fix it,” said Handelsman, who led development of the initiative. Leading researchers have long urged a national collaboration as the best way to learn how microbes interact with each other and their environments. “I’m excited. It’s a long time coming and much-needed endeavor,” said Dr. Jack Gilbert, a microbiologist at the Argonne National Laboratory and University of Chicago who pushed for the project. “We need to understand the microbial engine of the earth.” The U.S. government spends about $300 million a year on microbiome research, until now mostly an effort to catalog different communities of bacteria, viruses and other microbes. The National Microbiome Initiative will add $121 million this year and next for ecosystem-crossing federal research on microbes themselves and the tools needed to harness them.
High on the wish list from scientists at Friday’s White House meeting: Hand-held sensors for real-time detection of microbes in air, soil, water or people. The initiative will “give us a warp drive for microbiome research,” Dr. Samantha Joye of the University of Georgia, whose own studies have uncovered how dramatically microbes fluctuate after oil spills, told the meeting. And in partnership with the government, dozens of universities, foundations and other organizations have pledged to invest more than $400 million in additional microbiome research investments, Handelsman said. Among them, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation announced Friday it would invest $100 million over four years to study microbiomes that affect childhood malnutrition, which kills youngsters in developing countries and stunts the growth and brain development of survivors, as well as microbes that affect grown in sub-Saharan Africa.

Chairman of ForBali, I Wayan Gendo Suardana, in his speech condemned the dismantling of billboards containing rejection against reclamation at Bualu village by the Indonesian Military (TNI).
Three customary villages declare their rejection against reclamation
GIANYAR - On Sunday (May 15), three customary villages namely the Keramas, Medahan and Cucukan having been fiercely echoing the rejection against reclamation finally made a joint declaration to reject the Benoa Bay reclamation plan. Masceti Beach becoming the witness of the declaration immediately transformed into an ocean of people.

Police raid drug transaction at a hotel in Kuta
NEW YORK — Scientists say a stone knife and other artifacts found deep underwater in a Florida sinkhole show people lived in that area some 14,500 years ago. That makes the ancient sinkhole the earliest well-documented site for human presence in the southeastern U.S., and important for understanding the settling of the Americas, experts said. The findings confirm claims made more than a decade ago about the site, some 30 miles southeast of Tallahassee. At that time, researchers reported evidence that humans were there some 14,400 years ago. But in an era when such an old date was widely considered impossible, other experts disputed the evidence, said Mike Waters of Texas A&M University in College Station. The sinkhole was “just politely ignored,” he said. Waters was among a new team of scientists who excavated there from 2012 to 2014. They report finding the knife and stone flakes in a paper released Friday by the journal Science Advances. The new work

The action followed by thousands of people was commenced by saying joint prayers at the Desa Temple of Keramas. Until 14:30 the residents of three customary villages gradually gathered at the intersection of Masceti. While parading two pieces of ogoh-ogoh or papiér mâché demon with the theme of rejection against reclamation, thousands of the residents then marched towards Masceti Beach. Chief of Keramas customary village, Nyoman Puja Waisnawa, said that together with the chief of Medahan and Cucukan customary hamlet he just conveyed the aspirations of society, namely rejecting the Benoa Bay reclamation plan. “Previously, we’ve visited residents of each hamlet of the customary villages. From the dissemination of the result of meeting, it was then declared that all residents agreed to reject the Benoa Bay reclamation plan so that we declare it together today,” he said. Nyoman Puja said that abrasion becomes the main reason for the rejection by residents because tens of hectares of coastal area have been eroded by the abrasion. Residents are getting restless if the reclamation is
done to 700 hectares of sea area amid the current global warming. “Reflecting from the reclamation of Serangan Island with an area of 400 hectares, since then the abrasion has been getting more serious. As a result, our shoreline along five km spreading across three customary villages must be protected with revetment to prevent the waves. In addition, we also have some temples located at the edge of the beach, and they are now in danger of abrasion,” he explained. The Sunday action was also attended by 20 chiefs of customary village incorporated in the association of customary villages rejecting reclamation, such as the representatives from the city of Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar and Karangasem District. Chief of Kuta customary village, Wayan Swarsa, said that there are now 35 customary villages from three districts and Denpasar municipality rejecting the Benoa Bay reclamation plan. He revealed that in the near future there will be two additional customary villages in Denpasar that will declare their rejection against the Benoa Bay reclamation.
“Obviously this May will be graced with the declaration of rejection against the reclamation. All residents of Bali must continue to fight until the Presidential Regulation No. 51/2014 is revoked by president and the reclamation plan is canceled,” he shouted. Chairman of ForBali, I Wayan Gendo Suardana, in his speech condemned the dismantling of billboards containing rejection against reclamation at Bualu village by the Indonesian Military (TNI). “The president just came yesterday and the TNI attempted to dismantle the billboards containing the rejection against reclamation. In this action we criticize such an action because today is no longer the New Order era,” shouted Gendo in his speech. Gendo also appealed to all residents of Bali to make a movement when finding any other dismantling of billboard on rejection against reclamation. He also asserted that freedom of speech and making expression has been guaranteed in the legislation. “If the TNI is blocking the struggle of Balinese people by forcibly dismantling the billboards, it is the TNI violating the laws in force,” he said.

DENPASAR - One of the hotels on Jalan Dewi Sartika was raided by the Denpasar Police Narcotic Investigation, Thursday (May 12). At the hotel, there was a drug transaction and police arrested a suspect identified as KLW, 40, working as a freelance guide and HP, 31, a hotel employee. The evidence secured included a package of marijuana and crystal meth. According to Chief of Denpasar Police Narcotic Investigation Ganefo on Sunday (May 15), since the number of suspected drug cases coming from the circle of tour guides and hotel employees continue to increase his institution conducted an investigation to hotels in Kuta. There is possibility if the transactions are conducted at hotel to make it more secure. “Having been investigated, in fact it is true there are transactions carried out in the area of the hotel,’ he said. After getting the results of investigation, at 21:30 police arrested the suspect KLW in the parking area of the hotel on Jalan Dewi Sartika, Kuta. From recognition of the suspect working as a freelance guide, he bought a package of marijuana weighing 8.84 grams from a hotel employee at the scene, HP. Subsequently, police developed the case. “When we arrested, the evidence was still held by the suspect,” said the former chief of the Denpasar Police Intelligence and Security Unit. Further, the officers lured the suspect HP by asking KLW to pretend ordering the drugs. Around 22:00, the suspect HP came to meet KLW. At that time, police immediately arrested him. Furthermore, the officers searched the suspect’s residence at the hotel. As a result the officers secured two packages of marijuana weighing 1.34 grams in a desk drawer and a package of crystal meth weighing 0.14 gram under the mattress. Police continue to uncover the syndicate of both suspects. Based on recognition of HP, the illicit goods are usually purchased from his friend, AY, 51, working as a gecko breeder staying on Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai Gang Adijaya Pemogan, South Denpasar. Various attempts were made by police to lure the suspect AY. By exploiting the suspect HP, AY finally agreed to make a transaction in the workplace of HP. On Friday (May 13) at 00:15, the suspect AY arrived at the scene and was immediately arrested. The officers seized one package of marijuana in the pocket of his pants. Furthermore, police did a search at the suspect’s house and secured five packages of marijuana. “The suspect is a recidivist of drug case of the Denpasar Police in 2009. He was sentenced to one year at Kerobokan Prison and free in 2010,” said Ganefo. In addition, police also arrested a recidivist, SU, 38, on Jalan Tukad Pakerisan Panjer last Friday. The suspect working as a security guard was arrested while making a transaction. When searched, police found a package of crystal meth in his hand. SU claimed to have been ever arrested by police related to the illegal Toto case and sentenced to five months in prison. “Actually the suspect was just free last April. After his release, he even becomes a drug user and dealer,” said Ganefo. A security guard, STM, 32, was also arrested on Jalan Bung Tomo, Denpasar, Saturday (May 14). STM was arrested at his home and found to keep a package of crystal meth in the box of cotton bud. Besides, police also arrested an employee of travel agency, GBN, 35, on Jalan Tukad Buaji, Denpasar. At his boarding house, police seized a package of crystal meth from the suspect holding a bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering hidden in a bowl. “We also arrested two men when making a drug party at a house on Jalan Raya Sempidi, Badung. The suspect US, 25, and FGK, 24, admitted to be an employee of people’s credit bank (BPR). They are friends. From the suspect, we seize a bong containing crystal meth on the floor of his room,” he said. (kmb36)

People of Muntigunung turn to palm leaf to relieve poverty

Processing used newspapers into a craft that can be used for ceremonial purposes, such as keben (basket), bowl and others.
Used newspaper transformed into bowl and keben
NEGARA - Lately processing used newspapers has become daily activities for the member of Jalak Bali Community, I Made Suarnayasa. This resident of Baluk, Negara subdistrict, currently does not only deal with the problem of HIV/AIDS, but also has a different, innovative as well as creative enough idea. Suarnayasa with his colleagues in the community quite intensely processes the used newspapers into a number of useful items. One of them is processing used newspapers into a craft that can be used for ceremonial purposes, such as keben (basket), bowl and others. Moreover, his craft products had been exhibited in the recent village competition at Baluk village for the district level and in the exhibition held by one of the political parties in Denpasar. Society, particularly the housewives are interested enough in purchasing it. As a result, his products were also sold out. Recently Suarnayasa said that his community has deeply involved in processing used newspapers into more useful items since one and a half months ago. According to him, it was initially difficult, especially because he was just learning to roll the used newspaper and considered it quite difficult. “Over time, I even-
tually know how to do it and have now become so easy,” he said. Other than being active in the matter of dealing with HIV/AIDS, recently he also began to do environmental care. Before processing used newspapers, he makes liquid organic fertilizer from organic waste. The result is now quite good and started to have been ordered by buyers, including by a number of schools in Jembrana. Eco-friendly matters draw his interest, so that he now even falls in love with the making of various crafts from used newspapers. He became interested in making ecofriendly crafts. “Rather than being wasted, if the used newspapers are made into crafts will become more beneficial,” he said. He falls in love with the processing of used goods so as to become valuable products. It was inspired by his intention to motivate and empower human resources starting from the environment in his community. In fact, it is not only beneficial to his community, but also draws the interest of students to learn. “From junior high school students have come here. They asked
to be taught about processing used newspapers,” said Suarnayasa. He said the materials are not too difficult to obtain, such as used newspapers, G glue and Fox glue and others including dye used to make it resemble a timber or rattan. A piece of keben basket does not need too many used newspapers. The product sizing 27 x 18 cm, for instance, needs approximately 300 twists of used newspapers. A keben basket, for instance, can be accomplished in accordance with the size. The one sizing 14 cm x 9 cm requires 70 twists of used newspapers. When seen from the results, it seems to need a great capital, but it is not correct. Actually the capital required is not too much. For example, a capital of IDR 500,000 can be used for the purchase of used newspapers to other means and it can produce 10 keben products. During the exhibition, he even put up the price ranging from IDR 75,000 to IDR 300,000. He said that in the village competition at Baluk meeting hall, he could sell many products, ranging from cubical keben, round keben, bowl and flower vase. His community hoped to produce more works by processing used newspapers. (kmb)
AMLAPURA - The area of Muntigunung in West Tianyar Village, Kubu district is widely perceived as being run-down and poverty-stricken. Many local residents however feel that this is image is not accurate and gives a bad name to their area. The truth is that many people in the area work hard by taking advantage of their natural resources – such as palm leaves (lontar). The people of Muntigunung are very creative in their use of these special leaves that they turn into all manner of objects used in Hindu ceremonies. As 70 year old Jero Kari explained, he often orders lontar leaves from a young man from Tukad Legawa who collects them from the local trees. He usually pays about IDR 5,000 for a dozen leaves. He then dries them under the sun on his roof for two days before he starts working with the leaves. Kari has been working with lontar leaves for decades and explains that this work is far better than running off to the city only to become a beggar. “People from Mutigunung who go to the city to beg are usually people who are just too lazy to work” she said. Jero Kari, said that his work with the lontar leaves has allowed him to provide for his six children who are now all married. She now has six grandchildren and two great grandchildren, and still works with the lontar leaves with help from one of her daughter’s in law and grandchildren. Amongst the prodcuts that they create for use in Hindu ceremonies are tebog and celanggi. Tebog and sold for IDR 1,000 a piece while celanggi are sold for IDR 3,000 per 50 pieces. Outside of Muntigunng prices are pretty stable, whereas if she sells to people in the area of Muntigunung she gets about half the amount she does elsewhere. Jero Kari explained that most of
her clients are from Ubud and surrounding area and that they send the lontar products by renting a truck to transport them. Usually one truck load will include 100 units of 10 piece gebog, celanggi and other lontar products used for ceremonies. There are a lot more orders around the Holy day of Kuningan. “If we sell all our stock, we can make as much as IDR 5 million. So every six months, we make IDR 5 million”, said Jero Kari. Kari went on to explain that because this product is sold specifically for this holiday, they only make profits from this every six months around Kuningan. So, this is not the primary source of income but certainly helps to fulfill their basic needs. Another Muntigunung resident named Agung Pasrisak Juliawan, explained that Guava seeds are another product that the people of West Tianyar rely on. Unfortunately, despite the great demand for these seeds, the roads are in such bad shape that it is hard to get a good price for the seeds. He hopes that the next government leader will make road improving the roads around the orchards a priority. That way local farmers will be able to get a better price for their products. “The people of Muntigungun are quite resilient, and in reality only very people from here go to the city to beg” he said. He also would like to facilitate guava farmers and lontar leaf artisans in promoting their products, adding that as these industries gain steam, less and less people will be heading to the city to beg. And even less if Muntigung continues to be promoted as a tourism village. West Tianyar has already planned to make certain improvements to appear better to people in the surrounding areas. He would also like to foster a sense of shame about begging so that people stop going to the city as beggars. (kmb31)

Philippine President-elect Rodrigo Duterte has vowed to reintroduce capital punishment.
Philippines’ Duterte vows hangings in war on crime
DAVAO - Philippine presidentelect Rodrigo Duterte vowed Monday to introduce executions by hanging as part of a ruthless lawand-order crackdown that would also include ordering military snipers to kill suspected criminals. In back-to-back press conferences since his landslide victory in May 9 elections, the tough-talking mayor of southern Davao city said security forces would be given “shoot-to-kill” orders and that citizens would learn to fear the law. “Those who destroy the lives of our children will be destroyed,” Duterte said in wide-ranging comments to reporters in Davao on Monday afternoon as he outlined on his war on crime once he is sworn into office on June 30. “Those who kill my country will be killed. Simple as that. No middle ground. No apologies. No excuses.” Duterte also vowed to roll out Davao law-and-order measures on a nationwide basis, including a 2:00 am curfew on drinking in public places and a ban on children walking on the streets alone late at night. Smoking in restaurants and hotels will also be banned. Duterte said a central part of his war on crime would be to bring back the death penalty, which was abolished in 2006 under thenpresident Gloria Arroyo. Duterte said he would ask Congress to reintroduce capital punishment for a wide range of crimes, including drug trafficking, rape, murder, robbery and kidnapping-
for-ransom. He said he preferred death by hanging to a firing squad because he did not want to waste bullets, and because he believed snapping the spine with a noose was more humane. For people convicted of two major crimes, Duterte said he wanted them hanged twice. “After you are hanged first, there will be another ceremony for the second time until the head is completely severed from the body. I like that because I am mad,” he said. The centrepiece of Duterte’s stunningly successful election campaign was a pledge to end crime within three to six months of being elected. Duterte vowed during the campaign to kill tens of thousands criminals, outraging his critics but hypnotising tens of millions of Filipinos fed up with rampant crime and graft. He said on one occasion that 100,000 people would die, and so many bodies would be dumped in Manila Bay that the fish would grow fat from feeding on them. In an initial press conference late Sunday, Duterte said his “shootto-kill” orders would be given for those involved in organised criminals or who resisted arrest. “If you resist, show violent resistance, my order to police (will be) to shoot to kill. Shoot to kill for organised crime,” he said. Duterte said the military as well as the police would be used in his war on crime. (afp)
The Pentagon on Friday said Beijing had been building up military facilities on reefs and islets in a bid to assert its claims to the contested waters of the South China Sea. China’s military has also been using “coercive tactics” to foster tensions with its neighbours, but will ensure they do not snowball into outright conflict, according to the annual report to Congress. Beijing hit back on Sunday in comments published in state media, with a defence ministry spokesman saying the Pentagon report had “deliberately distorted China’s defence policies”.
“It is the United States that has been flexing military muscles by frequently sending military aircraft and warships to the region,” spokesman Yang Yujun said, according to the official news agency Xinhua. “The US annual report on China’s military and security developments has severely damaged mutual trust between the two sides.” Yang accused the US of being behind the “militarisation in the South China Sea”, parts of which are claimed by Vietnam, Taiwan, Brunei, Malaysia and the Philippines as well as China. The South China Sea, an impor-
tant shipping route thought to be home to vast energy deposits, has become a growing source of tension between Beijing and Washington as the US turns its focus on Asia. Washington fears Beijing is seeking to impose military controls over the entire area, where China has built massive structures including radar systems and airstrips on reclaimed reefs and islets. The Pentagon report estimated China has reclaimed 3,200 acres (1,300 hectares) of land around the Spratly Islands, also claimed by the Philippines, over the past two years. Beijing has been angered by the growing US attention on Asia and US forays into the Sea, including sailing warships close to reclaimed islands. (afp)

Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the IMF meets Britain’s Chancellor George Osborne, prior to a press conference, at the Treasury in London, Britain May 13, 2016.
Britain’s Osborne turns fire on “Out” plan to leave EU single market
STANSTED - Finance minister George Osborne attacked pro-Brexit campaigners for saying Britain should not just leave the European Union but also its single market, as he sought to convince voters that the economy faces big risks in next month’s referendum. Osborne said Britain would lose 200 billion pounds ($287 billion) a year in trade in 15 years’ time and miss out on the same amount in foreign investment, if it fell back on World Trade Organization rules to govern its ties with the EU after a Brexit. “Leaving the EU is a one-way ticket to a poorer Britain,” Osborne told media in an aircraft hangar at Stansted Airport, northeast of London, where the head of airline Ryanair said his firm could lower investment after an “Out” vote. Opinion polls have shown that voters tend to think that staying in the EU would be better for Britain’s economy but they also remain almost evenly split between those who want to stay in the bloc and
those who want to leave. As part of a relentless series of warnings about the economic risks of Brexit, Osborne’s finance ministry is due to publish a report on the short-term impact of an “Out” vote soon. A leading supporter of the “Vote Leave” campaign, justice minister Michael Gove said earlier this month that Britain should also leave the single market after a Brexit. If a post-Brexit Britain wanted to remain part of the single market, it would probably face demands from the rest of the bloc to keep its borders open to EU workers and to continue paying into the EU’s budget, just as Norway and Switzerland do. The “Out” campaign has put
stopping high levels of immigration and Britain’s contributions to the EU budget at the centre of their message to voters. Osborne spoke on Monday alongside former Labour Party economics spokesman Ed Balls, who was long a critic of Osborne, and former business minister Vince Cable, a senior member of the opposition Liberal Democrat party. Balls and Cable both said Britain risked economic damage if it left the EU. Osborne also accused the “Out” campaign of resorting to conspiracy theories ahead of the referendum for calling into question the motives of global bodies such as the International Monetary Fund and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development when they spoke of the economic risks of Brexit. “The economic argument is beyond doubt. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s called a consensus,” Osborne said. (rtr)
CARACAS — President Nicolas Maduro threatened to take over idle factories and jail their owners following a decree granting him expanded powers to act in the face of a deep economic crisis. Maduro’s remarks came as Venezuela’s opposition warned the embattled leader that if he tries to block an attempt to hold a recall referendum, society could “explode.” Speaking to supporters in the capital, Caracas, the president ordered “all actions to recover the production apparatus, which is being paralyzed by the bourgeoisie.” He also said that businesspeople who “sabotage the country” by halting production at their plants risk being “put in handcuffs.” Last month the country’s largest food and beverage distributor, Empresas Polar, shut down its last operating beer plant. It says it has been unable to access hard currency to buy raw materials. Maduro accuses Polar and others of trying to destabilize the financially stricken country by exacerbating shortages of goods from foodstuffs to medicines to toilet paper. Meanwhile dueling anti- and pro-government crowds demonstrated in Caracas on Saturday
for and against a bid to recall the president. Maduro opponents demanded that the National Electoral Council rule on the validity of some 1.8 million signatures collected in favor of the referendum and allow it to move forward. “If you obstruct the democratic way, we do not know what could happen in this country,” opposition leader Henrique Capriles said at one rally. “Venezuela is a bomb that could explode at any moment.” Across town, Maduro ally Jorge Rodriguez vowed there would be no recall referendum. “They got signatures from dead people, minors and undocumented foreigners,” Rodriguez said. Opposition leaders deny any fraud in the signature drive. Friday’s decree extended for 60 days Maduro’s exceptional powers to address the crisis. Venezuela is suffering from multiple financial woes including rampant inflation and low prices for oil, the cornerstone of its economy. Opposition leaders accuse Maduro and his predecessor, the late President Hugo Chavez, of mismanaging the economy. Maduro alleges that conservative political interests are waging what he calls an “economic war” seeking his ouster. (ap)

Tipat Santok Lalah Manis
HAVE you ever tasted tipat santok? This traditional food is the most popular on the Bali Island. Balinese people of all walks of life really like this simple menu. Children, teenagers and old people never get bored with this food because it is easily obtained. Moreover, the flavor can be customized because the sauces can be increased or decreased as desired. Tipat santok is a breakfast menu which is very well known in Bali. Tipat santok with spicy sweet sauces are often becoming people’s choice. It is called so because it offers sweet and spicy flavor. Spicy here does not happen due to too much pepper but because of spicy chili, while the sweet flavor is given by the brown sugar. In Java this food is commonly known as gado-gado. Tipat santok is very easy to find. It is cheap and served fresh because it is prepared after being ordered. Almost at every village street people can enjoy this food because many merchants of this food are open until late evening. They usually sell at village roadside, traditional markets and in the aisles. Basically the main ingredient is ketupat (rice bag) wrapped in young coconut leaf. However, in later development, people also use plastic or banana leaves as the wrapper. In the presentation, the tipat santok is served with various vegetables such as water spinach, sprouts, and cucumber. Optionally it is accompanied with tofu or tempeh and fried red beans. In the meantime, the spice is made from fried peanut mixed with garlic, aromatic ginger, lime, palm sugar, fermented shrimp paste and fermented soy beans where all these herbs are then pulverized. After that, it is sprinkled with fried shallot. Now, it is ready to be served. One portion of tipat santok costs varies according to the venue and merchants. At villages, a portion is sold for IDR 4,000 - IDR 5,000 while in urban areas ranging from IDR 6,000 to IDR 10,000. (kmb)

Tourists crowded in Tanah Lot during holiday season.
Tanah Lot pretties herself in preparation for Culture Destival June 2017
Tanah Lot Tourist Attraction has been making constant improvements to its grounds. Understandably, since the site, located in Beraban Vilalge, Kediri, Tabanan will be host to the Tanah Lot Festival, featuring numerous artistic performances over the course of a week, explained Tanah Lot Tourist Attraction’s operations manager, Toya Adnyana. This year improvements have been focused on a 3000 square foot area of the main road that leads from the entrance to the southern parking lot. This road has been severely damaged thus jeopardizing the comfort of tourists visiting the site. “The improvement team has already started work and hopefully it will be finished this year”, said Adnyana. The gazebo near Pura Luhur Tanah Lot Temple has also been prioritized for renovations as this
rest area that tourists use is also in need of repairs. “Tourists use the gazebo to relax. Previously we made repairs to the main road and sidewalk as part of our ongoing efforts to create a safe and comfortable atmosphere at this tourist attraction” he said. The Tanah Lot Festival, added Adnyana, is a way for the management of the site to offer artistic cultural performances to tourists packaged as a Festival. The festival that will take place over the course
of a week in June 2017 will feature artists from all over Tabanan. “Some of the performances will also feature artists from outside of Bali”, he disclosed, explaining that they decided to pay respect to the many tourists that come to Tanah Lot by inviting an artist form their area. This “nusantara” performance will be a collaboration with Balinese art and hopefully scan also inspire local artists.“Art groups from Banywangi and Palembang have already agreed to perform at Tanah Lot”, he admitted matterof-factly. The festival will also feature 2000 food vendors who all have to present some local fruits and other sweets making for a unique experi-
ence. After the performances, these vendors will be set up all along the beach making for a festive atmosphere. “Tourists will also be invited to taste these sweet treats for free”, he said. There will also be a craft and agricultural products exhibition featuring products from Bali’s “rice barn/ bread basket” region. Hundreds of Small and Medium Businesses will also help to provide a different experience for all those who visit by presenting many typical Tabanan products such as coffee, fruits and various village craft products. “The Festival has performances scheduled three times a day - morning , day and night” concluded Adnyana.

Republican U.S. presidential candidate and businessman Donald Trump speaks to supporters after his rival, Senator Ted Cruz, dropped out of the race following the results of the Indiana state primary, at Trump Tower in Manhattan, New York, U.S., May 3, 2016.
Democrats use Trump as bogeyman to get people to vote
NEW YORK - Democratic Party activists in some U.S. states are using Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate who has stirred controversy with his comments about illegal immigrants and women, as the centerpiece of their “get out the vote” campaign for the November elections. In California, canvassers from the Orange County Democrats carry pictures of Trump when they knock on doors ahead of the June 7 California primary. They ask if people will vote in the primary, and warn that if they don’t help pick the strongest possible Democrat, “this guy will win,” said Henry Vandermeir, the local party chairman in Orange County, a traditionally Republican island in the state. Democrats in New Hampshire have unveiled Trump/Sununu lawn signs, looking to tie Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Sununu to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee on issues such as climate change (Trump is a skeptic) and healthcare. One sign reads: “Trump/Sununu. Because Health Care Is For Losers,” a swipe at Trump’s vow to repeal the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law.
“Every state party is trying to maximize what they can get out of this difference (between candidates) and to tie Trump to the Republicans in the state,” said Holly Shulman, a spokeswoman for the New Hampshire Democratic Party. The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment. To be sure, Republicans appear likely to use Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination who is also a polarizing figure, in a similar fashion. “There is no better volunteer recruitment tool, fundraising pitch, or unifier for the Republican Party than the prospect of a Hillary Clinton presidency that will surely take us further backwards,” the Republican National Committee said in a statement. Democrats are also looking to tie Trump to Republican Senate candidates on the Nov. 8 ballot as they seek to regain control of the chamber
they lost in the 2014 congressional elections. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee last week released so-called “Trump cards” online, equating several Republican senators’ policy positions with those of the New York developer. For Pennsylvania Republican Pat Toomey and New Hampshire’s Kelly Ayotte, for example, the DSCC highlighted how they and Trump oppose a federal minimum wage hike. The DSCC also launched a website in March, partyoftrump. com, which labeled some senators “Retrumplicans” and asked for donations to help fight senators who support Trump. Recent polls suggest that a Trump/ Clinton matchup could be a tight race. The two candidates were in a dead heat in the three key swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania in a Quinnipiac University poll earlier in May. (rtr)

Thousands of Afghan Hazaras join power line protest in Kabul KABUL - Thousands of demonstrators from Afghanistan’s Hazara minority marched in protest through Kabul on Monday saying that they are missing out on a multi-million dollar power transmission line, posing a major challenge to the government of President Ashraf Ghani. Protesters have been demanding that the planned route for the 500 kV transmission line linking Turkmenistan with Kabul be changed to pass through two provinces with large Hazara populations, an option the government says would cost millions and delay the badly needed project by years. “We want our rights,” said Abdul Rauf Safari, 35, a protester from Ghazni, a city in central Afghanistan with a large Hazara population. “We will no longer accept discrimination.” The transmission line, intended to provide secure power to 10 provinces, is part of the wider TUTAP project backed by the Asian Development Bank to link the energy-rich Central Asia republics of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan with Afghanistan and Pakistan. Apart from isolated incidents, including reports that a television cameraman was beaten, the demonstration passed off peacefully. But it underscores the political tension facing the administration as it fights the Taliban-led insurgency and tries to get an economy shattered by decades of war back on its feet. Monday’s protest followed a rally in November against the murder of a group of Hazara people that became the biggest antigovernment demonstration in Kabul for years. Authorities, fearing a repeat of last year’s violence, when demonstrators tried to scale the walls of the presidential palace, closed access, blocking streets into the main government area with stacked-up shipping containers. The mainly Shi’ite Hazaras have long faced persecution but they are politically well organised and thousands gathered in a square away from the city centre chanting “TUTAP is our right!” but they dispersed peacefully. “Our movement will continue,” Hazara leader Mohammad Karim Khalili told the crowd. Only around 30 percent of Afghanistan is connected to electricity and modernising the creaking power system, which is subject to frequent blackouts, has been a top priority. Under current plans, due to be implemented by 2018, the line would pass from a converter station in the northern town of Pule-Khumri through the mountainous Salang pass to Kabul. Demonstrators want an earlier version of the plan that would see a longer route from Pul-e-Khumri through the provinces of Bamyan and Wardak to the west of Kabul. (rtr)

Rescuers carry the body of a victim after a flood hit Dua Warna waterfall in Sibolangit, North Sumatra, Indonesia, Monday, May 16, 2016.
6 students killed, 15 missing in western Indonesia floods
JAKARTA — Rescuers on Monday found the bodies of six university students who were among nearly two dozen who went missing in rain-triggered floods and landslides at a waterfall in western Indonesia, an official said. The disaster occurred Sunday as more than 70 students were visiting the Air Terjun Dua Warna waterfall in North Sumatra province. Twenty-one students were reported missing after the disaster, said Darwin Surbakti, an
official from the local Disaster Management Agency. The bodies of five men and a woman were found Monday around 3 kilometers (2 miles) downstream from the waterfall,
Surbakti said. About 150 rescuers, including soldiers, policemen and volunteers, were searching for the 15 students still missing. Seasonal rains often cause flooding and landslides in Indonesia, a chain of 17,000 islands where millions of people live in mountainous areas or flood-prone plains close to rivers.(ap)
Money politics signal degeneration of Golkar: Priyo

JAKARTA - Priyo Budi Santoso, one of eight candidates contesting the election for the new general chairman of the Golkar party, said money politics would lead the countrys second largest political party to degeneration. “If a chairman was elected not in fair way it would be the start of deterioration of Golkar,” Priyo said in a news conference in Nusa Dua, Bali, on Sunday. Priyo said he was shocked to hear information that one of the candidates had gathered the party regional leaders, who hold the voting right, allegedly seeking to bribe them to voting for him. The party is holding an extra ordinary national congress in Nusa Dua Bali
from May 14 to 16 to elect new general chairman of the party. The extra ordinary congress is held expected to end internal conflict between two factions dating back to 2014 presidential elections Priyos allegation was apparently directed toward candidate Setya Novanto, by saying he and the six other candidates had received report about alleged money politics committed by a candidate. He said he and Airlangga Hartarto, Ade Komarudin, Mahyudin, Syahrul Yasin Limpo, Azis Syamsudin and Indra Bambang Utoyo,had agreed to hold the election with closed voting against Setya Novanto
allegedly calling for open voting. “So far as I know, election for the general chairman has always been in secret voting,” he said. The other six candidates with the exception of Indra Bambang Utoyo,(who could not come for certain reason) were present at the news conference. Meanwhile, Nurdin Chalid, the chairman of the congress said a candidate is strictly not allowed to hold a meeting with the party regional leaders ahead of the voting on Monday. Setya Novanto, however, had denied the allegation and said that he agreed with either closed or open voting. The congress was opened by President Joko Widodo on Saturday.(ant)
JAKARTA - The government on Sunday launched the 10-percent Energy Saving National Movement in an effort to change the wasteful behavior of the people in consuming energy. “Many people still wastefully consume energy. Let us make ourselves accustomed to consuming energy efficiently at home, in offices and in any other places,” Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Sudirman Said told the press here on Sunday. The launch of the energy saving movement was marked with a fun walk participated in by Jakarta residents and government officials, including stateowned oil and gas company Pertaminas President Director Dwi Soetjipto and former energy minister Subroto. The fun walk started from the office building of the ministry of energy and mineral resources to Hotel Indonesia Traffic Circle in Jalan Thamrin. Sudirman stated that the people should change their wasteful behavior in consuming energy so that energy consumption in the county could be saved. He said that energy can be saved through three steps, namely by turning off electricity if not used, using energy saving electronic appliances and making energy saving a life-style. “One of the way how to save on energy is setting the air-conditioners at 25 degrees only when they are used,” the minister said. He said that the energy saving campaign was started from Jakarta and would be gradually expanded to 20 big cities in Indonesia. It will also be carried out through various print and electronic media, airlines, trains, banners and brochures. “The campaign will not stop until the end of this year. It will continue until the people understand and become efficient in consuming energy,” the minister added. He said that the increasing energy consumption and the shrinking of fossil fuel reserves required the people to become aware of the importance of carrying out energy saving consumption. Saving energy by 10 percent in the coming three years would be equal to saving the cost for the construction one new steam power plant, he said. “Ahead, energy conservation should serve as the fifth source of energy after oil, gas, coal and renewable energy,” Sudirman stressed. The 10 percent energy saving movement is a joint action that should involve the government, business players, societal organizations and individuals.(ant)

BARCELONA - Less than eight months after passing his driving test on his 18th birthday, Max Verstappen raced into the record books as Formula One’s youngest winner. “It feels amazing,” the Dutch youngster said after finally coming down from the top of Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix podium. “I can’t believe it. “I was targeting a podium but then to win straight away, it’s an amazing feeling,” said Verstappen, who likened the last 10 laps with Ferrari’s 2007 champion Kimi Raikkonen in his mirrors to “driving on ice”. He suffered some cramp, as well as rising excitement as he saw his name on the big screens, but made himself focus on the tyres and taking a car -- that he first drove only on Friday -- to the chequered flag. “I’m still learning the car,” he said. “Before I got into the car, I didn’t even have a hole for my drink tube. I still had to make it.” The son of former grand prix driver Jos, Verstappen has racing in his blood and the confidence and maturity of someone who has been on and around wheels for as long as he can remember. He has also had to prove more than once that he is the exception to the rule. When Red Bull signed the then 16-year-old for their Toro Rosso junior team in 2014, ahead of his
debut in 2015, the sport was so concerned that it introduced a minimum age rule to keep out other such precocious talents. In future, they decided, drivers would have to be at least 18 with sufficient experience demonstrated by points acquired in other series. That rule would have barred him from competing in 2015 had it been in force at the time. Verstappen ended that season with two fourth places and three awards from the governing International Automobile Federation (FIA) -- for Rookie of the Year, Personality of the Year and Action of the Year. There were those who felt Red Bull had been callous when they dropped Russian Daniil Kvyat this month and promoted Verstappen in his place alongside Australian Daniel Ricciardo. Verstappen, once again did his talking on the track with a measured drive as the strategy played into his hands and the dominant Mercedes drivers cleared the way by crashing into each other on the opening lap. Red Bull principal Christian Horner, celebrating his team’s first win since 2014, said he had been most impressed by Verstappen’s calmness. “No agitation in his voice, no panic, no tension. He was a young man completely in control of what he was doing.” (rtr)
Just a week after Djokovic had beaten him in the final of the Madrid Open, the Scot gained his revenge over the world number one in another claycourt final with a superb 6-3 6-3 win in one hour and 35 minutes. Djokovic was not at his best and in a grumpy mood, complaining on several occasions to the umpire about the slippery court surface on a damp day at the Foro Italico. Yet the defeat, just his third of the entire season, could not be totally put down to hints of weariness from Djokovic after a tough week’s work as he told Murray afterwards: “Well done Andy, you were just too good.”
It was an emphatic triumph, after finishing runner-up in Madrid and making the semi-finals in Monte Carlo, to convince Murray that he now must have his best shot yet at winning the French Open, which begins next weekend. In the week that Murray announced an amicable split from coach Amelie Mauresmo, this was only the second time in their last 14 meetings that he had beaten Djokovic and it was his first victory in their six duels on clay. The light rain in the Italian capital really seemed to dampen Djokovic’s spirit as he complained to the umpire that it was “too dangerous” to continue but his appeals
drizzle, and even when Djokovic appeared to be fighting back in the second set, Murray saved break points in successive games to begin imposing himself again. At the end, Djokovic capitulated with surprising swiftness, hitting a couple of errant forehands and a double fault at 3-5 down before Murray conjured up one inspirational backhand winner from way beyond the tramlines to lift the title. No British man had won the Italian title since Patrick Hughes in 1931 and the triumph will put Murray into the world number two spot on Monday ahead of Roger Federer before the second of the season’s slams starts in Paris.

BARCELONA — With Barcelona celebrating yet another Spanish league title, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are already looking forward to an even bigger prize. After pushing Barcelona to the end in the Spanish league, the Madrid clubs quickly switched their focus to the Champions League final in two weeks in Milan. One will return home as the European champion, the other will end the season without a title. But no matter what happens in Italy, both teams will take solace by having finished the league with their heads up, taking the title fight to the final days and making Barcelona work hard for the trophy. Real Madrid won its final 12 games to finish only one point behind Barcelona, while Atletico won seven of its last eight, finishing three points behind. They were denied the trophy by a late charge by Barcelona, which won five straight to secure its second consecutive title, and sixth in eight seasons. Although neither Madrid team won the league, fans were more pleased than frustrated when it was all over this weekend. And it didn’t hurt as much to watch Barcelona celebrate knowing there’s still a chance to win soccer’s top club competition. “We did what we had to do and we’re now thinking about our last remaining game,” Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said. “Now it’s important to rest up, spend a few days with the family and forget about football. We’ll come back raring to go in preparation for the final.” The European title would give Madrid a sensational ending to a
season that appeared to be lost not long ago. Before its impressive final run in the Spanish league, Madrid season’s had been marked by a demoralizing 4-0 home loss to Barcelona, a result that left “Los Blancos” in crisis and led to the eventual firing of coach Rafa Benitez. There was also the embarrassing disqualification from the Copa del Rey for using an ineligible player, and a signing ban handed down by FIFA for breaching rules registering players under the age of 18. At one point in the league, Madrid trailed Barcelona by 12 points and many fans had given up hope of a comeback. In the Champions League, a shocking 2-0 loss at Wolfsburg put the team on the brink of elimination in the quarterfinals, and only a hat trick from Cristiano Ronaldo saved the team from an embarrassing early elimination. Finishing the league on a high helped boost the team’s confidence ahead of the final in Milan. “Our aim was to put the pressure on and we’ve done that. It’s great for us in terms of morale heading into the Champions League final,” Madrid defender Sergio Ramos said. “We had hope, which is the last thing you want to lose. Now we have a beautiful Champions League final
that we want to win to make it an unforgettable year.” The result of the final should help determine how successful Madrid’s season will actually be. “I don’t think that it has been a bad season,” Madrid defender Dani Carvajal said. “Right now, I would give a positive assessment, but on the 28th we’ll be able to judge whether the season has been a good or bad one.” Atletico will be hoping to avenge the hurtful result from two years ago, when it lost to Madrid in extra time despite leading until the final minutes of regulation. Regardless of the result in Milan, Atletico again showed its worth this season both against Spanish rivals and top European clubs. Atletico eliminated Barcelona and Bayern Munich on its way to the Champions League final, and was the team that challenged Barcelona the most in the Spanish league, staying in second place from early in the season until a disappointing late loss to lastplace Levante last weekend. “The reason Barcelona struggled was because we were right there to be able to fight until the end,” Atletico coach Diego Simeone said. “It makes us happy to be fighting with the best in the world.”(ap)

Police Commissioner demands Carpi relegated after one season in Serie A, Palermo survive inquiry into Man United fake bomb ‘fiasco’
LONDON - Manchester’s police commissioner demanded an inquiry into the “fiasco” of a fake bomb left behind from a training exercise at Old Trafford that forced the abandonment on Sunday of a Premier League soccer match. The device led to the evacuation of Manchester United’s stadium shortly before the scheduled 1400 GMT kickoff of their final league game of the season against Bournemouth. “This fiasco caused massive inconvenience to supporters who had come from far and wide to watch the match,” Police and Crime Commissioner for Greater Manchester Tony Lloyd said. It also “wasted the time of huge numbers of police officers and the army’s bomb squad, and unnecessarily put people in danger,” he said in a statement. Police said the realistic-looking device, which was destroyed in a controlled explosion, had been accidentally left in a toilet by a private firm that was conducting a training exercise. Two of the Old Trafford stands were evacuated about 20 minutes before kickoff.
The whole 75,000-seater stadium was cleared and the match was called off soon afterwards, the first time in 24 years that a Premier League match had been abandoned on security grounds. “Whilst this in no way demeans the professionalism of the police and stewards responsible for getting the fans out, or the supporters’ calmness and cooperation during the evacuation, it is unacceptable that it happened in the first place,” said Lloyd. Lloyd, who oversees Manchester police but has no operational role, is also the city’s interim mayor. United Executive Vice Chairman Ed Woodward said the club would investigate the incident fully. The game has been rearranged for Tuesday. United are almost certain to miss out on qualification for next season’s Champions League after local rivals Manchester City drew at Swansea City on Sunday, putting City three points ahead in fourth place and with a vastly superior goal difference. United are also due to play Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final on Saturday.(rtr)
Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta said his substitute appearance in Sunday’s 4-0 victory over Aston Villa was likely to be his last game as a professional footballer. The 34-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the season, brought down the curtain on his five-year stint with the club when his shot came back off Villa goalkeeper Mark Bunn in the 92nd minute to hand Arsenal their final goal of the night. “I was very scared about this day because 99 percent, that was my last game as a professional footballer,” Arteta told the club’s website (www. arsenal.com). “I have different options now to continue in relation to this magnificent sport.” Arteta joined Arsenal in 2011 after six years at Everton and helped the Gunners end a nine-year trophy drought by winning successive FA Cups. “I always tried ... to do my best. Even if we had some difficult moments, at least we got this club back to winning ways again. We won some trophies,” he added. Arsenal’s defeat of Villa allowed them to pip bitter local rivals Tottenham Hotspur to second place in the table. Along with Arteta, midfielders Tomas Rosicky and Mathieu Flamini will also leave the club in the close season.(rtr)

Carpi were relegated after just one season in Serie A despite a 2-1 win at Udinese on Sunday with their swift return to the second tier confirmed by Palermo’s 3-2 victory over Hellas Verona. Tiny Carpi were playing in the fifth division just six seasons ago and despite rounding off their maiden campaign in the top flight with victory, they ended 18th in the table. They finished a point adrift of Udinese in 17th and Palermo above them. “There’s a very bad taste in my mouth to go down with 38 points,” Carpi coach Fabrizio Castori told Premium Sport. “We made the best of it and we leave the league with our heads held high.” Simone Verdi struck twice in the first half for Carpi before Antonio Di Natale came off the bench and scored a 79th-minute penalty to mark his final performance for Udinese, who lost Cyril Thereau to a first-half red card. Despite losing just seven league games in 2016, Carpi’s relegation was confirmed as Palermo moved out of reach after Alberto Gilardino’s 64thminute strike se-
cured a home victory over bottom club Verona. “This is an incredible joy,” Palermo captain Stefano Sorrentino told the club’s website. “We have proven to be great
players and men with a lot of character.” Federico Viviani’s 48th-minute effort for the visitors had cancelled out Franco Vazquez’s opener, with both sides having been reduced to 10 men after Michel Morganella and Pawel Wszolek were shown straight red cards following a clash. Goals from Enzo Maresca and Gilardino put Palermo 3-1 up before Eros Pisano’s 84th-minute strike set up a nervy finale. Miroslav Klose marked his final Lazio outing with a goal but was unable to help the Rome club avoid a 4-2 home defeat by Fiorentina. First-half efforts from Fiorentina’s Matias Vecino, Federico Bernardeschi and Cristian Tello followed Senad Lulic’s second-minute opener. Fiorentina added a fourth in the second half through Vecino before Klose closed his Lazio account with a 74th-minute penalty. “I don’t know if this was my last ever game,” Klose said. “I have spoken to my agent and we will sit together, see what’s on the table and make a decision.” Empoli marked Marco Giampaolo’s last game in charge with a 2-1 home win over Torino to end the season in 10th, while Atalanta won 2-1 at Genoa and Chievo and Bologna drew 0-0.(rtr)

BARCELONA - Less than eight months after passing his driving test on his 18th birthday, Max Verstappen raced into the record books as Formula One’s youngest winner. “It feels amazing,” the Dutch youngster said after finally coming down from the top of Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix podium. “I can’t believe it. “I was targeting a podium but then to win straight away, it’s an amazing feeling,” said Verstappen, who likened the last 10 laps with Ferrari’s 2007 champion Kimi Raikkonen in his mirrors to “driving on ice”. He suffered some cramp, as well as rising excitement as he saw his name on the big screens, but made himself focus on the tyres and taking a car -- that he first drove only on Friday -- to the chequered flag. “I’m still learning the car,” he said. “Before I got into the car, I didn’t even have a hole for my drink tube. I still had to make it.” The son of former grand prix driver Jos, Verstappen has racing in his blood and the confidence and maturity of someone who has been on and around wheels for as long as he can remember. He has also had to prove more than once that he is the exception to the rule. When Red Bull signed the then 16-year-old for their Toro Rosso junior team in 2014, ahead of his
debut in 2015, the sport was so concerned that it introduced a minimum age rule to keep out other such precocious talents. In future, they decided, drivers would have to be at least 18 with sufficient experience demonstrated by points acquired in other series. That rule would have barred him from competing in 2015 had it been in force at the time. Verstappen ended that season with two fourth places and three awards from the governing International Automobile Federation (FIA) -- for Rookie of the Year, Personality of the Year and Action of the Year. There were those who felt Red Bull had been callous when they dropped Russian Daniil Kvyat this month and promoted Verstappen in his place alongside Australian Daniel Ricciardo. Verstappen, once again did his talking on the track with a measured drive as the strategy played into his hands and the dominant Mercedes drivers cleared the way by crashing into each other on the opening lap. Red Bull principal Christian Horner, celebrating his team’s first win since 2014, said he had been most impressed by Verstappen’s calmness. “No agitation in his voice, no panic, no tension. He was a young man completely in control of what he was doing.” (rtr)
Just a week after Djokovic had beaten him in the final of the Madrid Open, the Scot gained his revenge over the world number one in another claycourt final with a superb 6-3 6-3 win in one hour and 35 minutes. Djokovic was not at his best and in a grumpy mood, complaining on several occasions to the umpire about the slippery court surface on a damp day at the Foro Italico. Yet the defeat, just his third of the entire season, could not be totally put down to hints of weariness from Djokovic after a tough week’s work as he told Murray afterwards: “Well done Andy, you were just too good.”
It was an emphatic triumph, after finishing runner-up in Madrid and making the semi-finals in Monte Carlo, to convince Murray that he now must have his best shot yet at winning the French Open, which begins next weekend. In the week that Murray announced an amicable split from coach Amelie Mauresmo, this was only the second time in their last 14 meetings that he had beaten Djokovic and it was his first victory in their six duels on clay. The light rain in the Italian capital really seemed to dampen Djokovic’s spirit as he complained to the umpire that it was “too dangerous” to continue but his appeals
drizzle, and even when Djokovic appeared to be fighting back in the second set, Murray saved break points in successive games to begin imposing himself again. At the end, Djokovic capitulated with surprising swiftness, hitting a couple of errant forehands and a double fault at 3-5 down before Murray conjured up one inspirational backhand winner from way beyond the tramlines to lift the title. No British man had won the Italian title since Patrick Hughes in 1931 and the triumph will put Murray into the world number two spot on Monday ahead of Roger Federer before the second of the season’s slams starts in Paris.

Republican U.S. presidential candidate and businessman Donald Trump speaks to supporters after his rival, Senator Ted Cruz, dropped out of the race following the results of the Indiana state primary, at Trump Tower in Manhattan, New York, U.S., May 3, 2016.
Democrats use Trump as bogeyman to get people to vote
NEW YORK - Democratic Party activists in some U.S. states are using Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate who has stirred controversy with his comments about illegal immigrants and women, as the centerpiece of their “get out the vote” campaign for the November elections. In California, canvassers from the Orange County Democrats carry pictures of Trump when they knock on doors ahead of the June 7 California primary. They ask if people will vote in the primary, and warn that if they don’t help pick the strongest possible Democrat, “this guy will win,” said Henry Vandermeir, the local party chairman in Orange County, a traditionally Republican island in the state. Democrats in New Hampshire have unveiled Trump/Sununu lawn signs, looking to tie Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Sununu to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee on issues such as climate change (Trump is a skeptic) and healthcare. One sign reads: “Trump/Sununu. Because Health Care Is For Losers,” a swipe at Trump’s vow to repeal the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law.
“Every state party is trying to maximize what they can get out of this difference (between candidates) and to tie Trump to the Republicans in the state,” said Holly Shulman, a spokeswoman for the New Hampshire Democratic Party. The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment. To be sure, Republicans appear likely to use Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination who is also a polarizing figure, in a similar fashion. “There is no better volunteer recruitment tool, fundraising pitch, or unifier for the Republican Party than the prospect of a Hillary Clinton presidency that will surely take us further backwards,” the Republican National Committee said in a statement. Democrats are also looking to tie Trump to Republican Senate candidates on the Nov. 8 ballot as they seek to regain control of the chamber
they lost in the 2014 congressional elections. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee last week released so-called “Trump cards” online, equating several Republican senators’ policy positions with those of the New York developer. For Pennsylvania Republican Pat Toomey and New Hampshire’s Kelly Ayotte, for example, the DSCC highlighted how they and Trump oppose a federal minimum wage hike. The DSCC also launched a website in March, partyoftrump. com, which labeled some senators “Retrumplicans” and asked for donations to help fight senators who support Trump. Recent polls suggest that a Trump/ Clinton matchup could be a tight race. The two candidates were in a dead heat in the three key swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania in a Quinnipiac University poll earlier in May. (rtr)

Thousands of Afghan Hazaras join power line protest in Kabul KABUL - Thousands of demonstrators from Afghanistan’s Hazara minority marched in protest through Kabul on Monday saying that they are missing out on a multi-million dollar power transmission line, posing a major challenge to the government of President Ashraf Ghani. Protesters have been demanding that the planned route for the 500 kV transmission line linking Turkmenistan with Kabul be changed to pass through two provinces with large Hazara populations, an option the government says would cost millions and delay the badly needed project by years. “We want our rights,” said Abdul Rauf Safari, 35, a protester from Ghazni, a city in central Afghanistan with a large Hazara population. “We will no longer accept discrimination.” The transmission line, intended to provide secure power to 10 provinces, is part of the wider TUTAP project backed by the Asian Development Bank to link the energy-rich Central Asia republics of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan with Afghanistan and Pakistan. Apart from isolated incidents, including reports that a television cameraman was beaten, the demonstration passed off peacefully. But it underscores the political tension facing the administration as it fights the Taliban-led insurgency and tries to get an economy shattered by decades of war back on its feet. Monday’s protest followed a rally in November against the murder of a group of Hazara people that became the biggest antigovernment demonstration in Kabul for years. Authorities, fearing a repeat of last year’s violence, when demonstrators tried to scale the walls of the presidential palace, closed access, blocking streets into the main government area with stacked-up shipping containers. The mainly Shi’ite Hazaras have long faced persecution but they are politically well organised and thousands gathered in a square away from the city centre chanting “TUTAP is our right!” but they dispersed peacefully. “Our movement will continue,” Hazara leader Mohammad Karim Khalili told the crowd. Only around 30 percent of Afghanistan is connected to electricity and modernising the creaking power system, which is subject to frequent blackouts, has been a top priority. Under current plans, due to be implemented by 2018, the line would pass from a converter station in the northern town of Pule-Khumri through the mountainous Salang pass to Kabul. Demonstrators want an earlier version of the plan that would see a longer route from Pul-e-Khumri through the provinces of Bamyan and Wardak to the west of Kabul. (rtr)

6 students killed, 15 missing in western Indonesia floods
JAKARTA — Rescuers on Monday found the bodies of six university students who were among nearly two dozen who went missing in rain-triggered floods and landslides at a waterfall in western Indonesia, an official said. The disaster occurred Sunday as more than 70 students were visiting the Air Terjun Dua Warna waterfall in North Sumatra province. Twenty-one students were reported missing after the disaster, said Darwin Surbakti, an
official from the local Disaster Management Agency. The bodies of five men and a woman were found Monday around 3 kilometers (2 miles) downstream from the waterfall,
Surbakti said. About 150 rescuers, including soldiers, policemen and volunteers, were searching for the 15 students still missing. Seasonal rains often cause flooding and landslides in Indonesia, a chain of 17,000 islands where millions of people live in mountainous areas or flood-prone plains close to rivers.(ap)

JAKARTA - Priyo Budi Santoso, one of eight candidates contesting the election for the new general chairman of the Golkar party, said money politics would lead the countrys second largest political party to degeneration. “If a chairman was elected not in fair way it would be the start of deterioration of Golkar,” Priyo said in a news conference in Nusa Dua, Bali, on Sunday. Priyo said he was shocked to hear information that one of the candidates had gathered the party regional leaders, who hold the voting right, allegedly seeking to bribe them to voting for him. The party is holding an extra ordinary national congress in Nusa Dua Bali
from May 14 to 16 to elect new general chairman of the party. The extra ordinary congress is held expected to end internal conflict between two factions dating back to 2014 presidential elections Priyos allegation was apparently directed toward candidate Setya Novanto, by saying he and the six other candidates had received report about alleged money politics committed by a candidate. He said he and Airlangga Hartarto, Ade Komarudin, Mahyudin, Syahrul Yasin Limpo, Azis Syamsudin and Indra Bambang Utoyo,had agreed to hold the election with closed voting against Setya Novanto
allegedly calling for open voting. “So far as I know, election for the general chairman has always been in secret voting,” he said. The other six candidates with the exception of Indra Bambang Utoyo,(who could not come for certain reason) were present at the news conference. Meanwhile, Nurdin Chalid, the chairman of the congress said a candidate is strictly not allowed to hold a meeting with the party regional leaders ahead of the voting on Monday. Setya Novanto, however, had denied the allegation and said that he agreed with either closed or open voting. The congress was opened by President Joko Widodo on Saturday.(ant)
JAKARTA - The government on Sunday launched the 10-percent Energy Saving National Movement in an effort to change the wasteful behavior of the people in consuming energy. “Many people still wastefully consume energy. Let us make ourselves accustomed to consuming energy efficiently at home, in offices and in any other places,” Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Sudirman Said told the press here on Sunday. The launch of the energy saving movement was marked with a fun walk participated in by Jakarta residents and government officials, including stateowned oil and gas company Pertaminas President Director Dwi Soetjipto and former energy minister Subroto. The fun walk started from the office building of the ministry of energy and mineral resources to Hotel Indonesia Traffic Circle in Jalan Thamrin. Sudirman stated that the people should change their wasteful behavior in consuming energy so that energy consumption in the county could be saved. He said that energy can be saved through three steps, namely by turning off electricity if not used, using energy saving electronic appliances and making energy saving a life-style. “One of the way how to save on energy is setting the air-conditioners at 25 degrees only when they are used,” the minister said. He said that the energy saving campaign was started from Jakarta and would be gradually expanded to 20 big cities in Indonesia. It will also be carried out through various print and electronic media, airlines, trains, banners and brochures. “The campaign will not stop until the end of this year. It will continue until the people understand and become efficient in consuming energy,” the minister added. He said that the increasing energy consumption and the shrinking of fossil fuel reserves required the people to become aware of the importance of carrying out energy saving consumption. Saving energy by 10 percent in the coming three years would be equal to saving the cost for the construction one new steam power plant, he said. “Ahead, energy conservation should serve as the fifth source of energy after oil, gas, coal and renewable energy,” Sudirman stressed. The 10 percent energy saving movement is a joint action that should involve the government, business players, societal organizations and individuals.(ant)

Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the IMF meets Britain’s Chancellor George Osborne, prior to a press conference, at the Treasury in London, Britain May 13, 2016.
Britain’s Osborne turns fire on “Out” plan to leave EU single market
STANSTED - Finance minister George Osborne attacked pro-Brexit campaigners for saying Britain should not just leave the European Union but also its single market, as he sought to convince voters that the economy faces big risks in next month’s referendum. Osborne said Britain would lose 200 billion pounds ($287 billion) a year in trade in 15 years’ time and miss out on the same amount in foreign investment, if it fell back on World Trade Organization rules to govern its ties with the EU after a Brexit. “Leaving the EU is a one-way ticket to a poorer Britain,” Osborne told media in an aircraft hangar at Stansted Airport, northeast of London, where the head of airline Ryanair said his firm could lower investment after an “Out” vote. Opinion polls have shown that voters tend to think that staying in the EU would be better for Britain’s economy but they also remain almost evenly split between those who want to stay in the bloc and
those who want to leave. As part of a relentless series of warnings about the economic risks of Brexit, Osborne’s finance ministry is due to publish a report on the short-term impact of an “Out” vote soon. A leading supporter of the “Vote Leave” campaign, justice minister Michael Gove said earlier this month that Britain should also leave the single market after a Brexit. If a post-Brexit Britain wanted to remain part of the single market, it would probably face demands from the rest of the bloc to keep its borders open to EU workers and to continue paying into the EU’s budget, just as Norway and Switzerland do. The “Out” campaign has put
stopping high levels of immigration and Britain’s contributions to the EU budget at the centre of their message to voters. Osborne spoke on Monday alongside former Labour Party economics spokesman Ed Balls, who was long a critic of Osborne, and former business minister Vince Cable, a senior member of the opposition Liberal Democrat party. Balls and Cable both said Britain risked economic damage if it left the EU. Osborne also accused the “Out” campaign of resorting to conspiracy theories ahead of the referendum for calling into question the motives of global bodies such as the International Monetary Fund and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development when they spoke of the economic risks of Brexit. “The economic argument is beyond doubt. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s called a consensus,” Osborne said. (rtr)
CARACAS — President Nicolas Maduro threatened to take over idle factories and jail their owners following a decree granting him expanded powers to act in the face of a deep economic crisis. Maduro’s remarks came as Venezuela’s opposition warned the embattled leader that if he tries to block an attempt to hold a recall referendum, society could “explode.” Speaking to supporters in the capital, Caracas, the president ordered “all actions to recover the production apparatus, which is being paralyzed by the bourgeoisie.” He also said that businesspeople who “sabotage the country” by halting production at their plants risk being “put in handcuffs.” Last month the country’s largest food and beverage distributor, Empresas Polar, shut down its last operating beer plant. It says it has been unable to access hard currency to buy raw materials. Maduro accuses Polar and others of trying to destabilize the financially stricken country by exacerbating shortages of goods from foodstuffs to medicines to toilet paper. Meanwhile dueling anti- and pro-government crowds demonstrated in Caracas on Saturday
for and against a bid to recall the president. Maduro opponents demanded that the National Electoral Council rule on the validity of some 1.8 million signatures collected in favor of the referendum and allow it to move forward. “If you obstruct the democratic way, we do not know what could happen in this country,” opposition leader Henrique Capriles said at one rally. “Venezuela is a bomb that could explode at any moment.” Across town, Maduro ally Jorge Rodriguez vowed there would be no recall referendum. “They got signatures from dead people, minors and undocumented foreigners,” Rodriguez said. Opposition leaders deny any fraud in the signature drive. Friday’s decree extended for 60 days Maduro’s exceptional powers to address the crisis. Venezuela is suffering from multiple financial woes including rampant inflation and low prices for oil, the cornerstone of its economy. Opposition leaders accuse Maduro and his predecessor, the late President Hugo Chavez, of mismanaging the economy. Maduro alleges that conservative political interests are waging what he calls an “economic war” seeking his ouster. (ap)

Tipat Santok Lalah Manis
HAVE you ever tasted tipat santok? This traditional food is the most popular on the Bali Island. Balinese people of all walks of life really like this simple menu. Children, teenagers and old people never get bored with this food because it is easily obtained. Moreover, the flavor can be customized because the sauces can be increased or decreased as desired. Tipat santok is a breakfast menu which is very well known in Bali. Tipat santok with spicy sweet sauces are often becoming people’s choice. It is called so because it offers sweet and spicy flavor. Spicy here does not happen due to too much pepper but because of spicy chili, while the sweet flavor is given by the brown sugar. In Java this food is commonly known as gado-gado. Tipat santok is very easy to find. It is cheap and served fresh because it is prepared after being ordered. Almost at every village street people can enjoy this food because many merchants of this food are open until late evening. They usually sell at village roadside, traditional markets and in the aisles. Basically the main ingredient is ketupat (rice bag) wrapped in young coconut leaf. However, in later development, people also use plastic or banana leaves as the wrapper. In the presentation, the tipat santok is served with various vegetables such as water spinach, sprouts, and cucumber. Optionally it is accompanied with tofu or tempeh and fried red beans. In the meantime, the spice is made from fried peanut mixed with garlic, aromatic ginger, lime, palm sugar, fermented shrimp paste and fermented soy beans where all these herbs are then pulverized. After that, it is sprinkled with fried shallot. Now, it is ready to be served. One portion of tipat santok costs varies according to the venue and merchants. At villages, a portion is sold for IDR 4,000 - IDR 5,000 while in urban areas ranging from IDR 6,000 to IDR 10,000. (kmb)

Tourists crowded in Tanah Lot during holiday season.
Tanah Lot pretties herself in preparation for Culture Destival June 2017
Tanah Lot Tourist Attraction has been making constant improvements to its grounds. Understandably, since the site, located in Beraban Vilalge, Kediri, Tabanan will be host to the Tanah Lot Festival, featuring numerous artistic performances over the course of a week, explained Tanah Lot Tourist Attraction’s operations manager, Toya Adnyana. This year improvements have been focused on a 3000 square foot area of the main road that leads from the entrance to the southern parking lot. This road has been severely damaged thus jeopardizing the comfort of tourists visiting the site. “The improvement team has already started work and hopefully it will be finished this year”, said Adnyana. The gazebo near Pura Luhur Tanah Lot Temple has also been prioritized for renovations as this
rest area that tourists use is also in need of repairs. “Tourists use the gazebo to relax. Previously we made repairs to the main road and sidewalk as part of our ongoing efforts to create a safe and comfortable atmosphere at this tourist attraction” he said. The Tanah Lot Festival, added Adnyana, is a way for the management of the site to offer artistic cultural performances to tourists packaged as a Festival. The festival that will take place over the course
of a week in June 2017 will feature artists from all over Tabanan. “Some of the performances will also feature artists from outside of Bali”, he disclosed, explaining that they decided to pay respect to the many tourists that come to Tanah Lot by inviting an artist form their area. This “nusantara” performance will be a collaboration with Balinese art and hopefully scan also inspire local artists.“Art groups from Banywangi and Palembang have already agreed to perform at Tanah Lot”, he admitted matterof-factly. The festival will also feature 2000 food vendors who all have to present some local fruits and other sweets making for a unique experi-
ence. After the performances, these vendors will be set up all along the beach making for a festive atmosphere. “Tourists will also be invited to taste these sweet treats for free”, he said. There will also be a craft and agricultural products exhibition featuring products from Bali’s “rice barn/ bread basket” region. Hundreds of Small and Medium Businesses will also help to provide a different experience for all those who visit by presenting many typical Tabanan products such as coffee, fruits and various village craft products. “The Festival has performances scheduled three times a day - morning , day and night” concluded Adnyana.

Processing used newspapers into a craft that can be used for ceremonial purposes, such as keben (basket), bowl and others.
Used newspaper transformed into bowl and keben
NEGARA - Lately processing used newspapers has become daily activities for the member of Jalak Bali Community, I Made Suarnayasa. This resident of Baluk, Negara subdistrict, currently does not only deal with the problem of HIV/AIDS, but also has a different, innovative as well as creative enough idea. Suarnayasa with his colleagues in the community quite intensely processes the used newspapers into a number of useful items. One of them is processing used newspapers into a craft that can be used for ceremonial purposes, such as keben (basket), bowl and others. Moreover, his craft products had been exhibited in the recent village competition at Baluk village for the district level and in the exhibition held by one of the political parties in Denpasar. Society, particularly the housewives are interested enough in purchasing it. As a result, his products were also sold out. Recently Suarnayasa said that his community has deeply involved in processing used newspapers into more useful items since one and a half months ago. According to him, it was initially difficult, especially because he was just learning to roll the used newspaper and considered it quite difficult. “Over time, I even-
tually know how to do it and have now become so easy,” he said. Other than being active in the matter of dealing with HIV/AIDS, recently he also began to do environmental care. Before processing used newspapers, he makes liquid organic fertilizer from organic waste. The result is now quite good and started to have been ordered by buyers, including by a number of schools in Jembrana. Eco-friendly matters draw his interest, so that he now even falls in love with the making of various crafts from used newspapers. He became interested in making ecofriendly crafts. “Rather than being wasted, if the used newspapers are made into crafts will become more beneficial,” he said. He falls in love with the processing of used goods so as to become valuable products. It was inspired by his intention to motivate and empower human resources starting from the environment in his community. In fact, it is not only beneficial to his community, but also draws the interest of students to learn. “From junior high school students have come here. They asked
to be taught about processing used newspapers,” said Suarnayasa. He said the materials are not too difficult to obtain, such as used newspapers, G glue and Fox glue and others including dye used to make it resemble a timber or rattan. A piece of keben basket does not need too many used newspapers. The product sizing 27 x 18 cm, for instance, needs approximately 300 twists of used newspapers. A keben basket, for instance, can be accomplished in accordance with the size. The one sizing 14 cm x 9 cm requires 70 twists of used newspapers. When seen from the results, it seems to need a great capital, but it is not correct. Actually the capital required is not too much. For example, a capital of IDR 500,000 can be used for the purchase of used newspapers to other means and it can produce 10 keben products. During the exhibition, he even put up the price ranging from IDR 75,000 to IDR 300,000. He said that in the village competition at Baluk meeting hall, he could sell many products, ranging from cubical keben, round keben, bowl and flower vase. His community hoped to produce more works by processing used newspapers. (kmb)
AMLAPURA - The area of Muntigunung in West Tianyar Village, Kubu district is widely perceived as being run-down and poverty-stricken. Many local residents however feel that this is image is not accurate and gives a bad name to their area. The truth is that many people in the area work hard by taking advantage of their natural resources – such as palm leaves (lontar). The people of Muntigunung are very creative in their use of these special leaves that they turn into all manner of objects used in Hindu ceremonies. As 70 year old Jero Kari explained, he often orders lontar leaves from a young man from Tukad Legawa who collects them from the local trees. He usually pays about IDR 5,000 for a dozen leaves. He then dries them under the sun on his roof for two days before he starts working with the leaves. Kari has been working with lontar leaves for decades and explains that this work is far better than running off to the city only to become a beggar. “People from Mutigunung who go to the city to beg are usually people who are just too lazy to work” she said. Jero Kari, said that his work with the lontar leaves has allowed him to provide for his six children who are now all married. She now has six grandchildren and two great grandchildren, and still works with the lontar leaves with help from one of her daughter’s in law and grandchildren. Amongst the prodcuts that they create for use in Hindu ceremonies are tebog and celanggi. Tebog and sold for IDR 1,000 a piece while celanggi are sold for IDR 3,000 per 50 pieces. Outside of Muntigunng prices are pretty stable, whereas if she sells to people in the area of Muntigunung she gets about half the amount she does elsewhere. Jero Kari explained that most of
her clients are from Ubud and surrounding area and that they send the lontar products by renting a truck to transport them. Usually one truck load will include 100 units of 10 piece gebog, celanggi and other lontar products used for ceremonies. There are a lot more orders around the Holy day of Kuningan. “If we sell all our stock, we can make as much as IDR 5 million. So every six months, we make IDR 5 million”, said Jero Kari. Kari went on to explain that because this product is sold specifically for this holiday, they only make profits from this every six months around Kuningan. So, this is not the primary source of income but certainly helps to fulfill their basic needs. Another Muntigunung resident named Agung Pasrisak Juliawan, explained that Guava seeds are another product that the people of West Tianyar rely on. Unfortunately, despite the great demand for these seeds, the roads are in such bad shape that it is hard to get a good price for the seeds. He hopes that the next government leader will make road improving the roads around the orchards a priority. That way local farmers will be able to get a better price for their products. “The people of Muntigungun are quite resilient, and in reality only very people from here go to the city to beg” he said. He also would like to facilitate guava farmers and lontar leaf artisans in promoting their products, adding that as these industries gain steam, less and less people will be heading to the city to beg. And even less if Muntigung continues to be promoted as a tourism village. West Tianyar has already planned to make certain improvements to appear better to people in the surrounding areas. He would also like to foster a sense of shame about begging so that people stop going to the city as beggars. (kmb31)

China says Pentagon report ‘severely damaged’ relations

Philippine President-elect Rodrigo Duterte has vowed to reintroduce capital punishment.
Philippines’ Duterte vows hangings in war on crime
DAVAO - Philippine presidentelect Rodrigo Duterte vowed Monday to introduce executions by hanging as part of a ruthless lawand-order crackdown that would also include ordering military snipers to kill suspected criminals. In back-to-back press conferences since his landslide victory in May 9 elections, the tough-talking mayor of southern Davao city said security forces would be given “shoot-to-kill” orders and that citizens would learn to fear the law. “Those who destroy the lives of our children will be destroyed,” Duterte said in wide-ranging comments to reporters in Davao on Monday afternoon as he outlined on his war on crime once he is sworn into office on June 30. “Those who kill my country will be killed. Simple as that. No middle ground. No apologies. No excuses.” Duterte also vowed to roll out Davao law-and-order measures on a nationwide basis, including a 2:00 am curfew on drinking in public places and a ban on children walking on the streets alone late at night. Smoking in restaurants and hotels will also be banned. Duterte said a central part of his war on crime would be to bring back the death penalty, which was abolished in 2006 under thenpresident Gloria Arroyo. Duterte said he would ask Congress to reintroduce capital punishment for a wide range of crimes, including drug trafficking, rape, murder, robbery and kidnapping-
for-ransom. He said he preferred death by hanging to a firing squad because he did not want to waste bullets, and because he believed snapping the spine with a noose was more humane. For people convicted of two major crimes, Duterte said he wanted them hanged twice. “After you are hanged first, there will be another ceremony for the second time until the head is completely severed from the body. I like that because I am mad,” he said. The centrepiece of Duterte’s stunningly successful election campaign was a pledge to end crime within three to six months of being elected. Duterte vowed during the campaign to kill tens of thousands criminals, outraging his critics but hypnotising tens of millions of Filipinos fed up with rampant crime and graft. He said on one occasion that 100,000 people would die, and so many bodies would be dumped in Manila Bay that the fish would grow fat from feeding on them. In an initial press conference late Sunday, Duterte said his “shootto-kill” orders would be given for those involved in organised criminals or who resisted arrest. “If you resist, show violent resistance, my order to police (will be) to shoot to kill. Shoot to kill for organised crime,” he said. Duterte said the military as well as the police would be used in his war on crime. (afp)
The Pentagon on Friday said Beijing had been building up military facilities on reefs and islets in a bid to assert its claims to the contested waters of the South China Sea. China’s military has also been using “coercive tactics” to foster tensions with its neighbours, but will ensure they do not snowball into outright conflict, according to the annual report to Congress. Beijing hit back on Sunday in comments published in state media, with a defence ministry spokesman saying the Pentagon report had “deliberately distorted China’s defence policies”.
“It is the United States that has been flexing military muscles by frequently sending military aircraft and warships to the region,” spokesman Yang Yujun said, according to the official news agency Xinhua. “The US annual report on China’s military and security developments has severely damaged mutual trust between the two sides.” Yang accused the US of being behind the “militarisation in the South China Sea”, parts of which are claimed by Vietnam, Taiwan, Brunei, Malaysia and the Philippines as well as China. The South China Sea, an impor-
tant shipping route thought to be home to vast energy deposits, has become a growing source of tension between Beijing and Washington as the US turns its focus on Asia. Washington fears Beijing is seeking to impose military controls over the entire area, where China has built massive structures including radar systems and airstrips on reclaimed reefs and islets. The Pentagon report estimated China has reclaimed 3,200 acres (1,300 hectares) of land around the Spratly Islands, also claimed by the Philippines, over the past two years. Beijing has been angered by the growing US attention on Asia and US forays into the Sea, including sailing warships close to reclaimed islands. (afp)

Early snowbirds? Florida sinkhole yields ancient artifacts
DC Fisher/University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology via AP
In this 2012 photo provided by the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology, Jessi Halligan, left, and other researchers hold a partially reassembled Mastodon tusk from the Page-Ladson archaeological site in Florida. Scientists said the mastodon tusk had long, deep grooves which were made by people, probably as they worked to remove the tusk from a skull.
offers “far better” evidence for early humans than the earlier research did, he said. The sinkhole is nearly 200 feet wide. In ancient times, it had a shallow pond at the bottom. That offered fresh water and a gathering point for animals, which “probably would have been easy pickings” for hunters who saw them trapped in the deep depression, Waters said. Today, the sinkhole is filled with about 30 feet of water, and it took divers equipped with head-mounted lights to look for artifacts. It was “as dark as the inside of a cow, literally no light at all,” said Jessi Halligan, the lead diving scientist and an assistant professor of anthropology at Florida State University in Tallahassee. They found the knife while digging with a trowel. It’s a couple of inches long and about an inch wide, sharpened on both sides.
To determine its age, the researchers used nearby mastodon dung, which contained twigs that could be analyzed. The twigs, and therefore the knife, were found to be about 14,550 years old. Man-made stone flakes were found to be about the same age. The scientists also examined a mastodon tusk recovered in 1993, and confirmed that its long, deep grooves were made by people, probably as they worked to remove the tusk from a skull. The first people in North America are thought to have crossed a nowsubmerged land bridge from Siberia to Alaska. From there, people spread southward. Waters said the age of the sinkhole artifacts adds to evidence that people may have migrated south from Alaska as early as 16,000 years ago by boat along the coast, because inland Canada was blocked by ice sheets until 2,000 years later.(ap)
WASHINGTON — We share our bodies and surroundings with teeming communities of microbes that are crucial to the health of people and the planet, and now the Obama administration is beginning a major project to better understand those invisible ecosystems — and even control them. The National Microbiome Initiative announced Friday at the White House aims to bring together scientists who study the microbes that live in the human gut and in the oceans, in farm soil and inside buildings, to speed discoveries that could bring big payoffs. Consider: Taking antibiotics alters the diversity of your gut bacteria, which eventually settle into a new normal. The 2010 oil spill altered microbes in the Gulf of Mexico, which likewise settled into a new normal, said Dr. Jo Handelsman, associate director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Despite the parallels, “we
have no idea if that’s a healthier norm or a less healthy norm than before, and no idea how to fix it,” said Handelsman, who led development of the initiative. Leading researchers have long urged a national collaboration as the best way to learn how microbes interact with each other and their environments. “I’m excited. It’s a long time coming and much-needed endeavor,” said Dr. Jack Gilbert, a microbiologist at the Argonne National Laboratory and University of Chicago who pushed for the project. “We need to understand the microbial engine of the earth.” The U.S. government spends about $300 million a year on microbiome research, until now mostly an effort to catalog different communities of bacteria, viruses and other microbes. The National Microbiome Initiative will add $121 million this year and next for ecosystem-crossing federal research on microbes themselves and the tools needed to harness them.
High on the wish list from scientists at Friday’s White House meeting: Hand-held sensors for real-time detection of microbes in air, soil, water or people. The initiative will “give us a warp drive for microbiome research,” Dr. Samantha Joye of the University of Georgia, whose own studies have uncovered how dramatically microbes fluctuate after oil spills, told the meeting. And in partnership with the government, dozens of universities, foundations and other organizations have pledged to invest more than $400 million in additional microbiome research investments, Handelsman said. Among them, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation announced Friday it would invest $100 million over four years to study microbiomes that affect childhood malnutrition, which kills youngsters in developing countries and stunts the growth and brain development of survivors, as well as microbes that affect grown in sub-Saharan Africa.

Police raid drug transaction at a hotel in Kuta
NEW YORK — Scientists say a stone knife and other artifacts found deep underwater in a Florida sinkhole show people lived in that area some 14,500 years ago. That makes the ancient sinkhole the earliest well-documented site for human presence in the southeastern U.S., and important for understanding the settling of the Americas, experts said. The findings confirm claims made more than a decade ago about the site, some 30 miles southeast of Tallahassee. At that time, researchers reported evidence that humans were there some 14,400 years ago. But in an era when such an old date was widely considered impossible, other experts disputed the evidence, said Mike Waters of Texas A&M University in College Station. The sinkhole was “just politely ignored,” he said. Waters was among a new team of scientists who excavated there from 2012 to 2014. They report finding the knife and stone flakes in a paper released Friday by the journal Science Advances. The new work

The action followed by thousands of people was commenced by saying joint prayers at the Desa Temple of Keramas. Until 14:30 the residents of three customary villages gradually gathered at the intersection of Masceti. While parading two pieces of ogoh-ogoh or papiér mâché demon with the theme of rejection against reclamation, thousands of the residents then marched towards Masceti Beach. Chief of Keramas customary village, Nyoman Puja Waisnawa, said that together with the chief of Medahan and Cucukan customary hamlet he just conveyed the aspirations of society, namely rejecting the Benoa Bay reclamation plan. “Previously, we’ve visited residents of each hamlet of the customary villages. From the dissemination of the result of meeting, it was then declared that all residents agreed to reject the Benoa Bay reclamation plan so that we declare it together today,” he said. Nyoman Puja said that abrasion becomes the main reason for the rejection by residents because tens of hectares of coastal area have been eroded by the abrasion. Residents are getting restless if the reclamation is
done to 700 hectares of sea area amid the current global warming. “Reflecting from the reclamation of Serangan Island with an area of 400 hectares, since then the abrasion has been getting more serious. As a result, our shoreline along five km spreading across three customary villages must be protected with revetment to prevent the waves. In addition, we also have some temples located at the edge of the beach, and they are now in danger of abrasion,” he explained. The Sunday action was also attended by 20 chiefs of customary village incorporated in the association of customary villages rejecting reclamation, such as the representatives from the city of Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar and Karangasem District. Chief of Kuta customary village, Wayan Swarsa, said that there are now 35 customary villages from three districts and Denpasar municipality rejecting the Benoa Bay reclamation plan. He revealed that in the near future there will be two additional customary villages in Denpasar that will declare their rejection against the Benoa Bay reclamation.
“Obviously this May will be graced with the declaration of rejection against the reclamation. All residents of Bali must continue to fight until the Presidential Regulation No. 51/2014 is revoked by president and the reclamation plan is canceled,” he shouted. Chairman of ForBali, I Wayan Gendo Suardana, in his speech condemned the dismantling of billboards containing rejection against reclamation at Bualu village by the Indonesian Military (TNI). “The president just came yesterday and the TNI attempted to dismantle the billboards containing the rejection against reclamation. In this action we criticize such an action because today is no longer the New Order era,” shouted Gendo in his speech. Gendo also appealed to all residents of Bali to make a movement when finding any other dismantling of billboard on rejection against reclamation. He also asserted that freedom of speech and making expression has been guaranteed in the legislation. “If the TNI is blocking the struggle of Balinese people by forcibly dismantling the billboards, it is the TNI violating the laws in force,” he said.

DENPASAR - One of the hotels on Jalan Dewi Sartika was raided by the Denpasar Police Narcotic Investigation, Thursday (May 12). At the hotel, there was a drug transaction and police arrested a suspect identified as KLW, 40, working as a freelance guide and HP, 31, a hotel employee. The evidence secured included a package of marijuana and crystal meth. According to Chief of Denpasar Police Narcotic Investigation Ganefo on Sunday (May 15), since the number of suspected drug cases coming from the circle of tour guides and hotel employees continue to increase his institution conducted an investigation to hotels in Kuta. There is possibility if the transactions are conducted at hotel to make it more secure. “Having been investigated, in fact it is true there are transactions carried out in the area of the hotel,’ he said. After getting the results of investigation, at 21:30 police arrested the suspect KLW in the parking area of the hotel on Jalan Dewi Sartika, Kuta. From recognition of the suspect working as a freelance guide, he bought a package of marijuana weighing 8.84 grams from a hotel employee at the scene, HP. Subsequently, police developed the case. “When we arrested, the evidence was still held by the suspect,” said the former chief of the Denpasar Police Intelligence and Security Unit. Further, the officers lured the suspect HP by asking KLW to pretend ordering the drugs. Around 22:00, the suspect HP came to meet KLW. At that time, police immediately arrested him. Furthermore, the officers searched the suspect’s residence at the hotel. As a result the officers secured two packages of marijuana weighing 1.34 grams in a desk drawer and a package of crystal meth weighing 0.14 gram under the mattress. Police continue to uncover the syndicate of both suspects. Based on recognition of HP, the illicit goods are usually purchased from his friend, AY, 51, working as a gecko breeder staying on Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai Gang Adijaya Pemogan, South Denpasar. Various attempts were made by police to lure the suspect AY. By exploiting the suspect HP, AY finally agreed to make a transaction in the workplace of HP. On Friday (May 13) at 00:15, the suspect AY arrived at the scene and was immediately arrested. The officers seized one package of marijuana in the pocket of his pants. Furthermore, police did a search at the suspect’s house and secured five packages of marijuana. “The suspect is a recidivist of drug case of the Denpasar Police in 2009. He was sentenced to one year at Kerobokan Prison and free in 2010,” said Ganefo. In addition, police also arrested a recidivist, SU, 38, on Jalan Tukad Pakerisan Panjer last Friday. The suspect working as a security guard was arrested while making a transaction. When searched, police found a package of crystal meth in his hand. SU claimed to have been ever arrested by police related to the illegal Toto case and sentenced to five months in prison. “Actually the suspect was just free last April. After his release, he even becomes a drug user and dealer,” said Ganefo. A security guard, STM, 32, was also arrested on Jalan Bung Tomo, Denpasar, Saturday (May 14). STM was arrested at his home and found to keep a package of crystal meth in the box of cotton bud. Besides, police also arrested an employee of travel agency, GBN, 35, on Jalan Tukad Buaji, Denpasar.

The suspect US, 25, and FGK, 24, admitted to be an employee of people’s credit bank (BPR). They are friends. From the suspect, we seize a bong containing crystal meth on the floor of his room,” he said. (kmb36)

Secondly, the factor of parenting in families is more oriented in material pursuits without paying attention to the need for togetherness in the family. The third factor is the threat to the perpetrators of violence having not resulted in a deterrent effect. It means the legal discourse on emasculation has gained support from various
circles but it remains under debates. For the law enforcement officials, especially police authority, said Haposan, in order to understand about the case from the beginning it certainly needs to make cooperation with the institutions concerned in the form of extension. With the extension, the information on the haunting hazards can certainly be understood by the public so that they have a growing awareness of being vigilant and try to anticipate them. “Actually the prevention has
been attempted but the factors of globalization and moral strengthening can be set aside by information technology. Currently it is so easy to open or access to websites of pornography, violence and so on,” said Haposan. He was deeply concerned about the case of obscenity against children increasingly widespread. He hoped the perpetrators could be punished severely while the government and the public alike seek to cope with the acts of sexual abuse
against children. “Anticipative efforts are better. The government, law enforcement agencies and the public have to promote security system in the region, including at schools,” he hoped. In the meantime, an academician, A.A. Gede Putra Arjawa, stated that the development of science and technology is unstoppable and in the virtual world children are free to access pornographic images. “Our government has not prevented it from making excessive. Parents
are quite busy so that their children get less attention and supervision. Education is also less instilled on the current children,” he said. On that account, parental attention and affection must be improved, not by fulfilling all the wishes of children like purchasing them sophisticated smartphones. In addition, according to Arjawa, children must be invited to communicate as a partner. Their character education is enhanced and trained with useful activities. (rah)
Denpasar municipality asked to draft regulation on billboards
DENPASAR —
Arrangement of billboard in Denpasar has been conducted since 2014. It was begun with a moratorium on the installation of billboards at 24 strategic road sections in Denpasar. The moratorium has ended in May 2014. Currently, the arrangement of billboard in Denpasar still applies the legal basis of mayoral regulation on the billboards. On that account, the Denpasar House of Representatives hoped the municipal government to immediately work on the regulation bylaw draft on billboards. This was confirmed by a member of Commission III of the Denpasar House of Representatives, A.A. Susruta Ngurah Putra, in Denpasar, Sunday (May 15). Aside from the regulation bylaw on billboard, a number of mayoral regulations having no higher legal basis must be made regional bylaw in the near future. In addition to regional bylaw on billboards, the Denpasar municipality is also considered necessary to work on regulations concerning modern stores. All this time, the arrangement of modern stores in Denpasar still applies mayoral regulation. “We expect the executive to draft regional bylaw to strengthen the regulation that all this time only applies the mayoral regulation,” said Susruta. Other regional bylaws needing to be worked include the detailed spatial plan (RDTR). This regulation bylaw becomes a derivative of the regional bylaw on the regional spatial plan (RTRW) passed a few years ago. “This regulation is urgently needed because of the existence of land area in Denpasar is small. Thus, there should be a clear reference in order to avoid violation of zoning,” said this Democratic
politician. Associated with the regional bylaw on billboards, all this time the Denpasar municipality has also finalized the zoning of billboard installation at several strategic locations. Master plan of the billboard installation zoning has been successfully completed by planner consultant. With the completion of the master plan, Denpasar municipality through other relevant agencies has done enforcement against the offenders of billboard installation. In addition, the permit of some billboards and billboard stages is no longer extended. Moratorium on the billboard installation applied to 24 points in Denpasar starting to take place in the mid of last year refers to Mayoral Regulation No 14/2013 on the Temporary Billboard Permit Delays in Denpasar, specifically article 4, paragraph 2. Moreover, it also refers to Mayoral Regulation No. 15/2013 on the Implementation of Billboards in the city of Denpasar. In 2015, the Denpasar House of Representatives was managed to make 12 regional bylaws outside the draft on regional budget and budgetary amendment. The regional bylaws include the public order, amendment of regional bylaw concerning the property acquisition tax (BPHTB), business permit of construction services, lodging
registration, street vendors, cultural heritage management, tourism business registration services, and the principles of regional financial management. In addition, there is also a waste management regulation, organization of archives, buildings as well as environmental protection and management. Then in 2016, some regional bylaw drafts have been approved
as regional bylaws. Among them, there are regulations concerning with public order, street vendors, waste management, regional bylaw on the BPHTB denoting revision of previous regulations, principles of regional financial management (P3KD) and regional bylaw draft on buildings. The parliament through its special committee also successfully completed the regional

bylaw draft about parking tax, and headman election. Having accomplished the regional bylaw drafts, last weeks the parliament received four regional bylaw drafts. They consist of regional bylaw draft on legal aids, organizational structure and governance of headman, asset management and transportation management. (kmb12)

‘Captain America’ Soars to $73 Million, ‘Money Monster’ Opens With $15 Million
LOS ANGELES - Disney-Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” remains dominant at U.S. theaters with $72.6 million at 4,426 U.S. locations -- the eighth-largest second weekend of all time. George Clooney-Julia Roberts thriller “Money Monster” opened respectably with $15 million. BH Tilt’s low-budget horror-thriller “The Darkness,” starring Kevin Bacon and Radha Mitchell, scared up $5.2 million at 1,754 sites in a Friday the 13th launch aimed at horror fans. “Civil War” showed impressive staying power after it launched with $179.1 million last weekend, the fifthhighest of all time. The 59% decrease is in the same range as two other Marvel-Disney tentpoles: last year’s
“Avengers: Age of Ultron” and 2013’s “Iron Man 3.” “Civil War” has taken in $295.9 million at the domestic box office in its first ten days. Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst with ComScore, said “Civil War” is keeping the box office momentum going for a strong summer season. “’Captain America: Civil War’ continues to benefit from good oldfashioned word-of-mouth, an irresistible concept and its delivery of a flatout perfect summer popcorn movie

experience and that has powered the film to close to $300 million after just ten days in North American theaters,” he added. “The newcomers did as expected considering the overwhelming strength of the latest Marvel extravaganza and both ‘Money Monster’ and ‘The Darkness’ performed perfectly in line with expectations and offered something new and different for audiences.” “Captain America: Civil War” will become the 11th title to have exceeded $70 million in its second weekend. That list is headed by “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” with $149 million, “Jurassic World” with $106.6 million, “Marvel’s The Avengers” with $103.1 million, “Avengers: Age of Ultron” with $77.7 million, “Avatar” with $75.6 million, “The Dark Knight” with $75.2 million and “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” at $74.2 million. Sony’s “Money Monster” was able to provide viable counter-programming aimed at adults, finishing well above recent forecasts. Directed by Jodie Foster, “Monster” generated solid buzz from its world premiere on Thursday night at the Cannes Film Festival and saw a 22% gain in business from Friday to Saturday. Disney’s fifth weekend of “The Jungle Book” continued to show remarkable staying power with $17.8 million at 3,970 locations for a second place finish. The comedy-adventure declined a mere 27% from the previous frame and will wind up the weekend with more than $311 million domestically. (rtr)

Colombian police seize 8 tonnes of cocaine near Panama border
BOGOTA - Colombian national police confiscated 8 tonnes of cocaine along the border with Panama, the government said on Sunday, in what may be one of the largest seizures in the country in recent years. The haul, with an estimated value of $240 million, was discovered in an underground hideaway on a ba-
nana plantation in the municipality of Turbo in Antioquia department, officials said.
“The biggest seizure of drugs in history. A hit against criminals,” Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said on Twitter. Three people were arrested in the operation. Defense Minister Luis Carlos Villegas said the drugs belonged to the Clan Usuga crime gang. The
United States has offered a $5 million reward for the capture of the gang’s leader. Colombia produces some 442 tonnes of cocaine annually, according to the United Nations. Colombian authorities seized 252 tonnes of the narcotic in 2015.(rtr)

and more predators of girls are wandering. On that account, parents must be vigilant and keeping their children seriously. “Currently we have had an emergency of violence against children of the nation,” said a legal
practitioner, Haposan Sihombing, Sunday (May 15). According to him, the increasingly widespread phenomenon of violence leading to the death of children is caused by several factors. Firstly, the moderniza-
tion often delivers violence. This means that there are no restrictions on device of media access. “We observe that it is so easy to access pornographic sites,” he said.
Emergency of child sexual violence
SEXUAL violence cases against children, including students, are increasingly widespread. The
perpetrators even rape abuzz the victims to die. Severe penalties have been imposed on the perpetrators but they have not made similar incidents subside. In Bali, the cases of sexual abuse, rape and escape minors continue to occur. More
