With dreamy electro pop, Milk and Bone charts own path QUEBEC CITY - With smooth minimalist electro pop and lush vocal harmonies, Milk and Bone has found a growing audience while charting an unusual path for French Canadian artists -- singing entirely in English.

The Montreal duo of Camille Poliquin and Laurence LafondBeaulne met studying jazz together and playing as back-up musicians when, sensing a chemistry between them four years ago, they posted on their personal social media accounts a snippet of a song that became “New York.”

To their surprise and delight, they quickly amassed a following. The two friends had suddenly become a band. They rushed to find management, figure out a look and choose the duo’s name, whose meaning they still struggle to explain.

“We never saw it coming be-

cause at first this was just a platform for people we knew to listen to our music,” Poliquin told AFP alongside Lafond-Beaulne at their hotel in Quebec City where they played the historic provincial capital’s summer festival.

“Pressure” -- like many of Milk and Bone’s songs, marked by chill but dominant percussion, melancholic keyboards and delicate, complementing layers of the two women’s voices -- has been streamed nine million times on Spotify or the sharing site SoundCloud.

The lyrics delve into emotional sagas, often on uncertain romances.

“Pressure” likens a lover to the solace of a robust shower while “Daydream” -- a track off their second album, “Deception Bay,” which came out earlier this year -- conjures up a dreamy fantasy boyfriend. (afp)

World Cup ‘just the beginning’ for Mbappe-led France

Alexander NEMENOV / AFP

Kylian Mbappe and another supremely talented generation of French players may just be getting started after overcoming Croatia to win the World Cup in Russia.

While the 19-year-old is the poster boy for France’s new crop of talent, the make-up of the squad suggests they have the youth and firepower to dominate international football for years to come.

The average age of a fine back four of Benjamin Pavard, Raphael Varane, Samuel Umtiti and Lucas Hernandez is just 23.

Ousmane Dembele, who cost Barcelona 105 million euros ($123 million), played for just two min-

utes in the knockout stages, while France’s other goalscorers on Sunday, Antoine Griezmann, 27, and Paul Pogba, 25, are in their prime.

In scoring his fourth goal of the tournament and France’s fourth of a 4-2 win in the World Cup final in Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium, Mbappe -- named young player of tournament -- became the youngest player since Pele to score in football’s biggest match.

“I have a story to write, this

is just the beginning,” Mbappe warned the world. “I intend to go even further.”

It is not the first time in Russia the lightning-quick Paris Saint-Germain forward has drawn comparisons with the Brazilian great. In scoring twice against Argentina in the last 16, Mbappe became the first teenager since Pele to score multiple goals in a World Cup game.

“If Kylian keeps equalling my records like this I may have to dust my boots off again,” tweeted Pele.

After starring as a 17-year-old in 1958, Pele went on to win two more World Cups, and while Mbappe has

much to do to match those feats, there is no telling how dominant a young French squad littered with world-class players can become.

Just nine players of the World Cup-winning squad were at Euro 2016, although there were just five changes comparing the starting line-ups from the two finals.

Only Nigeria sent a younger group than Didier Deschamps’s 23 to Russia yet France can boast serial winners at club level in Varane, Mbappe, Pogba and N’Golo Kante.

“Kylian Mbappe is just 19. I hope he will win it again but you

never know,” said France coach Didier Deschamps.

“Just like 20 years ago there were also 19-year-old players like David Trezeguet and Thierry Henry. They could have (won it again), but did not.”

Export boosted

Entrepreneurs trained and export documents made easy

DENPASAR —The moment of dollar exchange rate increase is used by the government to boost exports. The effort made by the government is by improving product quality and facilitating completeness of export documents. Meanwhile, the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Bali is expanding its cooperation with export destination countries.

Chairman of Kadin Bali, A.A. Ngurah Alit Wiraputra, said he is exploring the Russian market.

Moreover, on July 17 he was invited by the Russian Chamber of Commerce to discuss about trade cooperation. Other than Russia, Kadin is also exploring Australia. Based on the latest statistical data, the largest drop in the exports is to Australia. The cooperation is done between Indonesian Chamber of Commerce with Russian and Australian counterpart to market the products of Bali.

Furthermore, the Kadin will create a mapping of excellent products that can be exported to both countries. “Not all products

can be received there, so that we also map the quantity,” he said.

According to him, the government has not yet made a mapping effort. So far, the exporters do their exporting business by selftaught, anything is marketed.

Previously, the IWAPI Gianyar said the Middle East market is very good. Meanwhile, Kadin has been working on all countries in the Middle East. The most needed commodities in the Middle East are wood products such as furniture, handicrafts, and others.

The export completeness document like SVLK is no longer a problem because it can be facilitated by Kadin at a more affordable cost. Due to trade

cooperation between Kadin and its counterpart from various countries, the ease and convenience of documents can also be obtained.

The government plan to subsidize SVLK for the micro, small and medium furniture industries is welcomed by Kadin since it makes it easier for the entrepreneurs to boost exports.

However, the target to boost the exports is now constrained by generalized system of preferences (GSP) facilities given by the United States that will be removed. A total of 131 products from Bali such as wood are included in the recipient of the facility. For that reason, Kadin and Minister of Trade have left for America to negotiate this

US policy.

Head of the Bali Industry and Trade Agency, Putu Astawa, said the effort is to provide support for the smoothness of export documents. For example, it required Certificate of Origin (SKA) of the exported products. “We facilitate to make it easier even through online.

Moreover, we still serve even on holidays because we commit to increasing the export,” he said.

The government will also subsidize the SVLK submission.

This program belongs to central government. However, the central government is recognized to have limited funds so that it cannot help all the regions. This year, Bali itself does not get the help but he hoped that Bali can get it later on. “To submit the SVLK needs big cost for surveyor fees to verify that the wood used as the raw material does not damage nature or forest,” he

said. It costs up to IDR 25 million.

Product quality also needs to be improved in order to be competitive and really liked. For that purpose, he did coaching around Bali by providing training in innovation and information, packaging techniques, marketplace training (online sales) and promotion. But he recognized the promotion that can be given by local government is in the country.

Meanwhile, the overseas promotion to expand export destination countries cannot be facilitated because of budget constraints.

Middle East markets such as South Africa and South Asia are being targeted for export. On that account, he hoped that central government can take the industry from Bali to promote overseas. In addition, he attempted to approach the Chinese Consulate in order to facilitate the exhibition in China next November. (kmb42)

Huge drugs haul intercepted in Bali: Indonesia police Bali police said Monday they had intercepted a huge haul of Australia-bound cold relief tablets that contained a key ingredient for making illicit drugs. Some 600,000 pseudoephedrine tablets being sent from South Korea to Australia were found during a stopover on the Indonesian resort island, they said.

The bust happened in January but was announced Monday.

Indonesian authorities said they were tipped off by their counterparts in Australia.

Bottles of the pills, weighing nearly 140 kilograms (310 pounds) in total, were labelled as health food, authorities said.

Lab tests done on the seized drugs confirmed they contained

pseudoephedrine, a precursor for making methamphetamine and other illegal drugs, said Indonesian customs director general Heru Pambudi.

A resident of Australia, who was not identified, had been arrested by Australian police over the haul, Pambudi added.

Indonesia has some of the toughest drug laws in the world. Foreigners are regularly caught trying to bring drugs into Bali and some have been sentenced to death.

In the first half of 2018 alone Bali’s customs office said it had seized 3.9 tonnes of drugs and ingredients used as methamphetamine precursors that were being smuggled through the island.(afp)

An Indonesian customs officer speaks to journalists during a press conference after they seized cold relief tablets that contained a key ingredient for making illicit drugs at at Ngurah Rai International Airport on Indonesia’s resort island of Bali on July 16, 2018. Some 600,000 tablets of Pseudoephedrine sent from South Korea to Australia were found during a stopover on the Indonesian resort island, they said.  Founder : K.Nadha,  General Manager :Palgunadi Chief Editor: Gugiek Savindra  Editors:Agus Toni, Daniel Fajry, Mawa, Sueca, Sugiartha, Yudi Winanto Denpasar: Dira Arsana, Giriana Saputra, Subrata, Sumatika, Asmara Putra.

Bali needs economic diversification

Scientists traced a high-energy neutrino back to its source: a blazar, a galaxy harboring a supermassive black hole that fuels powerful jets of particles.

A high-energy neutrino has been traced to its galactic birthplace

CHICAGO - A zippy little particle has been traced back to its cosmic stomping grounds, a flaring galaxy 4 billion light-years away, for the first time solving a cosmic whodunit. Scientists have long puzzled over the sources of high-energy particles from space, which batter the Earth at energies that can outstrip the world’s most advanced particle accelerators. Now, physicists have identified the source of an energetic, lightweight particle called a neutrino. The intergalactic voyager came from a type of bright galaxy called a blazar located in the direction of the constellation Orion, scientists report online July 12 in Science.

“This is super exciting news,” says astrophysicist Angela Olinto of the University of Chicago, who was not involved with the new result. “It’s marking the beginning of what we call neutrino astronomy,” which uses the nearly massless particles to reveal secrets of cosmic oddities like blazars. While there may be additional cosmic sources for high-

energy neutrinos, the detection indicates that at least some come from blazars.

The result also suggests that blazars emit other energetic particles known as cosmic rays, which are produced in tandem with neutrinos. The origins of high-energy cosmic rays are poorly understood and until now, “nobody has ever been able to pinpoint a source that

produces them,” says astrophysicist Francis Halzen of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, a leader of IceCube, the Antarctic neutrino observatory that detected the particle.

Thanks to this discovery, “we will better understand nature of the universe’s immense cosmic accelerators,” France Córdova said in a July 12 news confer-

ence in Alexandria, Va. Scientists can’t produce such high-energy particles on Earth, “so we have to turn to the heavens to deepen our understanding of the highestenergy processes,” said Córdova, the director of the National Science Foundation, which funded IceCube.

IceCube, which was constructed within a cubic kilometer of ice sheet, uses thousands of embedded sensors to measure light produced when neutrinos slam into the ice.

On September 22, 2017, IceCube detected a neutrino with an energy of nearly 300 trillion electron volts. (For comparison, protons in the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva reach energies of 6.5 tril-

MADISON - When eggs go bad, bacteria usually get the blame.

But some bacteria help bobtail squid keep their eggs fresh.

Bacteria that female Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes) deposit in the jelly surrounding their eggs can fight off a fungus called Fusarium keratoplasticum, Spencer Nyholm reported July 9 at the Beneficial Microbes Conference.

A specialized organ called the accessory nidamental gland is

found only in female bobtail squid and other cephalopods. The organ houses bacteria, mostly varieties of Rhodobacteraceae and Verrucomicrobia, and helps coat eggs with a thick layer of protective jelly impregnated with the microbes.

Nyholm, of the University of Connecticut in Storrs, and colleagues treated squid eggs with antibiotics to kill the bacteria. The eggs grew fuzzy with fungus, and the developing squid embryos soon died.

Bacteria from the accessory nidamental gland make several types of antifungal chemicals, including some that haven’t been characterized before, the researchers discovered. Some of those antifungal chemicals also inhibited growth of some bacteria and other fungi, including Candida albicans, a type of fungus that causes infections in humans. Squid bacteria may one day be a source of new kinds of natural antibiotics or antifungal drugs, Nyholm says. (net)

Hawaiian bobtail squid have a secret weapon to protect their eggs and offspring: fungus-fighting bacteria.

MANGUPURA — Bali needs to diversify its economy. It should not only rely on tourism, but also concerns about the other economic resources.

“After all, Bali actually needs to diversify its products. If the product is only tourism, it has high risk. When there is something happening to Mount Agung, the economy is down,” said Jacob Peter, Head of the IMF-World Bank 2018 Working Unit on Thursday (Jul. 13). Another example, if there is a security problem, it has very great impact on Bali tourism.

Therefore Bali needs to diversify the product. For example, it can create products that are not intended for the benefit of tourists, so that it can be exported or sent out. It will help Bali’s economy. Food products or manufactured products must be developed as a form of economic diversification. “Otherwise, only depending on tourism is not good,” he said.

He exemplified other countries such as Thailand where even though it has a fairly high tourism, it already diversified with other products as well. “If there is a coup in Thailand, economically it can still work. The impact may not drive too high growth, but it will not drop significantly as well,” he said. According to him, in the future it should be considered even though tourism remains a mainstay.

He expressed such opinion when seeing the availability of paddy fields in Bali having reduced, transformed into hotels and so on for tourism. “That should become a consideration,” he added. (kmb42)

The suspect Sumanah

IBP/kmb

MANGUPURA — Various modes of crime are committed by thieves to smooth their action as what the suspect Sumanah, 38, did when taking in action on Kuta Beach. He crawled on the sand to a bag belonging to Korean Sunkyung Roh, 22, and took the victim’s valuables. As a result of the action, the perpetrator was arrested on Sunday (Jul. 15) when wishing to take action again.

Spokesperson of Bali Police, Hengky Widjaja, said the disclosure of this case is after the members of Kuta Police did reconnaissance around the scene for about a month.

“Results of the investigation indicated if the theft was committed by the mode of crawling and targeting along Kuta Beach to Seminyak Beach, Badung,” he said.

This case occurred on Saturday (Jun. 2) at 01:00 local time.

Initially, the victim was sitting at the scene exactly in front of the Pullman Hotel. After sitting for a moment there, the victim took the iPhone X in the bag but was no longer in place. He immediately checked the items

stored in the bag, in fact, his debit card and money of IDR 300,000 disappeared. Few hours later, the victim received information from the bank that his debit card was used for transactions at Minimart and Circle K on Jalan Pratama, Tanjung Benoa, South Kuta. Subsequently, the victim reported the incident to Kuta Police.

Armed with the results of CCTV footage and investigations, police conducted a reconnaissance around the scene. The officers believe the perpetrator will return to take action. On Sunday (Jul. 15) at 01:30 local time, the man with similar characteristics with the CCTV footage came again. Police immediately arrested the man in the front gate of the Pullman Hotel. When interrogated, the man claimed to be Sumanah and have stolen the victim’s belongings.

When examined, the perpetrator said if the victim’s credit card was handed over to his friend, ED. Meanwhile, the iPhone X was sold to AN for IDR 5 million and IDR 4 million was used to pay for advance payment for the purchase

of Honda Scoopy motorcycle. The rest of the money is used for everyday purposes. Then, the credit card was used to buy cigarettes and withdraw a cash of IDR 700,000.

“The perpetrator admitted to have taken action for ten times in the same way and his target was on the beach,” said Spokesperson Hengky.

The crime scenes are on Kuta Beach respectively three times in front of the Hotel Bali Anggrek, three times in front of Pullman Hotel, once in front of Beach Walk, once in front of Citadine Hotel, once in front of Hotel Istana Rama and once in front of Kuta Hotel. From this case, police secured the evidence of Honda Scoopy motorcycle, three smartphones, two powerbanks, one speaker, camera, five women’s bags, purses, sunglasses, two banknotes of US dollars, 13 pieces of foreign banknotes from various countries and other evidence. “This case is handled by the Kuta Police and the perpetrator has been detained at the police station,” he said.

Nusa Penida tourism

MASTUNG - The death toll from a suicide bombing that hit southwestern Pakistan on Friday has risen to 149, making it the second most lethal attack in the country’s history, officials said Sunday as top politicians joined a day of national mourning.

DEVELOPMENT of Nusa Penida in Klungkung is growing rapidly. Both domestic and foreign tourist visits are quite a lot. This can boost local revenue. Nevertheless, the district government is considered necessary to make a grand design from an early age to address it. Do not let the archipelago having the nickname of the blue paradise island become the second Kuta filled with crowdedness and bustles.

regular scenery. A number of streets to the tourist attractions are inevitably crowded.

Moreover, congestion also happens. Such a situation gets the attention of the parliament.

Chairman of Commission II of the Klungkung House of Representatives, Komang Suantara, said the district government should make a grand design of tourism early on.

“Now, the visit is very crowded. Within a day, it can reach thousands. Do not let this archipelago area be like the crowded and frequently jammed Kuta. There should be a grand design early on to anticipate it,” he said recently.

This Gerindra politician also expressed an idea that tourists should use motorcycles. In addition to suppressing congestion, tourists can enjoy the natural beauty more freely.

“Tourists wishing to visit the other objects can also be made easier,” he said.

He also asserted the use of transportation needs to be supported by regulation and readiness of supporting facilities, such

Another important thing is readiness of motor to ensure safety standards. “Now, it depends on the district government to build the image, where if traveling to Nusa Penida is identical to motorcycle. This can become uniqueness,” he added.

Jungutbatu village on Nusa Lembongan becomes one of the tourist destinations.

Local headman, Made Suryawan, did not deny the crowdedness that happened at the central road of the village when holiday seasons arrive. According to him, the government needs to build a new way to break it down. “This has been proposed. The new road is very important to support tourism in the future so that it will no longer be hit by crowdedness,” he said. (sos)

Warung Pak Tut follows the latest demands

DENPASAR - The era of digital technology is very influential on the marketing process. It does not only apply in the marketing of fashion and home, but also in fresh food. With the digital technology, the delivery does not take many days causing the food to break down. However, within a few hours even a few minutes, the food can arrive home without having to go out.

Warung Pa’Tut is one of the food stalls newly opened last February 2018. It offers modern taste commonly demanded by millennial generation and other generations living in the digital era.

People wishing to purchase food should not only come directly to the stall, but can also order via online motorcycle taxi and via phone.

Moreover, 50 percent of the sales are generated indirectly or the consumers do not come to the stall in person but they order via online motorcycle taxi and phone.

“Right now, between the online order and those dining in are balanced,” said I Ketut Oka Janasuta, the owner of the Warung Pa’Tut accompanied by his wife Ni Nyoman Nurdeviyanti, when met by Bali Post not long ago.

Other than using ‘modern’ market-

ing tool, Warung Pa’Tut also follows the ‘modern’ taste where each food has its own level. “Young people usually buy noodles with spicy level of 1 until 5, for example. Here, at our stall we also offer the similar thing. Young people can choose satay with the desired level of spiciness,” said Pak Tut as he is familiarly addressed.

However, the Pa’Tut food stall is focused on serving Balinese food.

There are twisted satay, seafood pepes, meatballs, rice bag (tipat) curry, chicken betutu, and curly chicken, intact fried chicken and tuna condiment. “We have different level of spiciness. There is non-spicy, spicy, and very spicy tuna condiment,” said Pak Tut who is also an architect.

Chili sauce is packed in nice and hygienic bottles. The price starts from IDR 35,000 to IDR 40,000 depending on the level of spiciness. Due to the online marketing, the market is not only in Bali but also reaches Palangkaraya, Jakarta and Surabaya.

The secret recipe of his delicacy also lies in the raw ingredients in use. Only selected ingredients can be processed into delicious cuisines. Twisted satay, fish pepes and meatballs are made of marlin fish. He just used the certain part of the fish meat as not all parts of the marlin fish are used. After trying

Nusa Penida is no longer strange to people’s ears. People’s mind will directly point out to an island becoming one of the tourist destinations in Bali.

various fish, only marlin is considered the most delicious.

Combination of the architectural art of Pak Tut with medical science of his wife produces food that is not only tasty but also artistic and hygienic.

“We do not use MSG and artificial flavoring. We just rely on the delicious flavor of the spices. In short, no preservatives are added so it becomes fresh,” he concluded.

Pak Tut likes cooking Balinese cuisines and has the desire to attract younger generation to return to local cuisines. This idea inspired him to open the Warung Pa’Tut. “Currently, the taste of younger generation has changed and they are no longer interested in our typical cuisines. I see there are noodles in particular levels.

My husband is a good cook, so we make the culinary creations like the taste of young people based on the request of spicy, sweet and spicy sweet category,” replied Nurdeviyanti.

After trying the delicacies of Pak Tut, consumers will immediately get addicted. It is the slogan of his food stall. Some customers are precisely repeaters who have previously tried his cooking. Later on, he wanted that Balinese cuisines are better known to the public, not only to local people but also the world community. (kmb42)

The attack claimed by the Islamic State group was the latest in a series of deadly blasts at various election campaign events ahead of national polls on July 25.

A suicide bomber detonated as local politician Siraj Raisani spoke to a crowd of supporters in southwestern Mastung district on Friday.

Raisani was among those killed.

The dead included nine children aged between six and 11, senior government official Qaim Lashari said Sunday, adding that 70 people remained in hospital with five in a critical condition.

The latest toll topped that of a 2007 bomb attack in Karachi targeting former premier Benazir Bhutto, which killed 139 people.

The country’s worst-ever attack was an assault on a school in the northwestern city of Peshawar in 2014 that left more than 150 people dead, many of them children.

Authorities will publish adverts in local newspapers on Monday seeking information on bodies taken home directly after the latest attack and buried without informing police, Lashari said, meaning the official toll could rise again.

“We are trying our best to ascertain the exact data of those killed in the blast,” he told AFP. Saeed Jamal, another senior government official, confirmed the latest death toll and number wounded in the attack.

- ‘A huge tragedy’ Politicians including high-profile election candidate and former international cricketer Imran Khan visited provincial capital Quetta Sunday to pay their respects to the dead.

“It was a huge tragedy,” Khan told a press conference, calling for the military, police and civilian government to prevent further attacks.

Friday’s blast came hours after another bomb killed at least four people at a campaign rally in Bannu in the country’s northwest.

A third bomb killed 22 people at another rally in Peshawar on Tuesday.

Shahbaz Sharif, brother of ousted premier Nawaz Sharif and rival to Khan, also visited Quetta and called for the attack’s culprits to face “exemplary” punishment.

The visits took place hours after funeral prayers were offered for Raisani in a ceremony attended by Pakistan’s powerful military chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa.

Raisani’s body was then driven from Quetta to his ancestral home of Kanak, near where he was killed, for a second set of funeral prayers tightly guarded by paramilitary forces.

He was laid to rest beside the grave of his son Akmal, who was killed in a grenade attack in 2011.

King of the Ghats: life and death on the banks of the Ganges

CHANDAN KHANNA / AFP

In this photograph taken on June 2, 2018 an Indian man gets his head shaved at the Manikarnika Ghat in the old quarters of Varanasi.

VARANASI - It is well past midnight as Bahadur Choudhary, a fourthgeneration caretaker of Varanasi’s ancient cremation grounds, sprinkles ceremonial butter on huge funeral pyres burning on the banks of the Ganges. Choudhary is illiterate, poor and low caste, but his role in Varanasi, one of the holiest cities in India, is sacrosanct in Hindu mythology.

Born a keeper of the flame, tradition dictates that Choudhary oversee the sacred fires and cremation grounds at Varanasi that Hindus believe free them from the cycle of life and death.

These funeral custodians are the Doms, a small community living by Varanasi’s burning “ghats”, where cremation fires burn day and night

and the smell of the dead hangs heavy in the air.

“The dead are our only business,” Choudhary told AFP at the Manikarnika ghat, where thick black smoke rose from pyres as huddled families sobbed, and beggars and near-naked holy men wandered around seeking donations.

For centuries, the Doms have provided the ceremonial flame used to cremate the dead brought to Varanasi for “moksha”, or release from the Hindu life cycles.

At the ghats, the Doms pass flaming torches to the families of the deceased, who ignite the wooden pyres dotting the riverside.

As the bodies wrapped in white shroud and marigold flowers are

turned to ash, the remains are collected and sprinkled in the Ganges, and the Doms collect their dues.

Choudhary, instructing two fire attendants to add more butter and wood to a pyre, said their community survives off whatever the mourners pay them.

“Some can barely afford the cremation,” he said. “Others make generous donations, and even offer to feed all the labourers.”

Choudhary said he could earn as little as 150 rupees ($2) for backbreaking labour that could last 18 hours. A good day could bring up to $75, he said. It is little income to sustain their families, Choudhary said, but there are few other opportunities for work. (afp)

Deutsche Bank says to beat earnings forecasts in Q2 Germany’s biggest lender Deutsche Bank said Monday it had far outstripped analysts’ estimates of its earnings in the second quarter, but its bottom line remained short of last year’s performance.

The group said it would report net income of “approximately 400 million euros” ($467 million) between April and June -- 10.5 percent lower than the same period last year.

But the result is much beefier than predictions from analysts surveyed by data company Factset, who forecast net income of around 120 million euros.

Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank said

second-quarter revenues would be stable year-on-year, at around 6.6 billion euros -- higher than analysts’ forecast of around 6.4 billion.

“Management believes that these results demonstrate the resilience of the franchise,” the group said in a statement.

Deutsche is looking to project a refreshed, confident image to investors under new chief executive Christian Sewing, who replaced crisis firefighter John Cryan at the head of the bank in April.

After the group reported a 79percent slump in profits in the first quarter, to just 120 million euros, company lifer Sewing announced

it was time to “act decisively” by slashing some activities at its flagship corporate and investment banking division.

In future, Deutsche plans to reduce its presence in the United States and Asia in favour of Europe and Germany and retreat from certain trading activities.

Shares in the group surged on the preliminary results release in Monday morning trading, gaining 5.1 percent to trade at 10.10 euros by 0850 GMT in Frankfurt and topping the DAX index of bluechip German stocks. The bank will publish its complete second quarter results on July 25. (afp)

Tetimpug Tetimpug is a means used in mecaru or exorcism ceremony. Tetimpug is made from one young bamboo segment which is then burned with danyuh (dried old coconut leaves) to produce a burst. It is used to draw the power to carry out a yadnya ceremony.

There are several types of tetimpug, in which some use three segments of bamboo and some others use five segments. This use highly depends on the level of ceremony to be executed. The mecaru ceremony uses three pieces in the usual category and symbolizes Tri Kona, namely the utpati (generation), stiti (operation), and pralina (destruction).

Meanwhile, the use of five pieces of tetimpug is in the caru belonging to larger category such as grandiose ritual. It represents the Panca Maha Bhuta or five great elements consisting of the prithivi (earth), apah (water), agni (fire), vayu (air) and akhas (ether). (kmb)

World Cup...

From page 1

- France make amends Despite a failure to lift the World Cup a second time, Henry, Trezeguet and Deschamps were part of the side that backed up their success by winning Euro 2000.

Following in the footsteps of their boss, who captained the 1998 World Cup-winning side, is the challenge for France after making amends for losing the Euro 2016 final on home soil. The difference in 2016 was that Deschamps did not have Mbappe to call on when looking for inspiration against Portugal.

Mbappe’s performances in Russia are the culmination of a whirlwind two years for the world’s most expensive teenager after two Ligue 1 titles and a 180 million euro move

from Monaco to PSG. “Winning a World Cup so young opens doors. Now I need to keep working,” added Mbappe, who insisted he will “100 percent” remain at PSG despite interest from Real Madrid in making him Cristiano Ronaldo’s successor at the European champions.

Mbappe seems destined to one day inherit Ronaldo’s crown as the holder of the Ballon d’Or and is now a contender to end the domination of the Portuguese and Lionel Messi.

Ominously for the competition, France only look like getting stronger as Mbappe and a host of youthful teammates mature.

“The new players have helped us enormously,” said Griezmann. “Pavard, Lucas and Kyky (Mbappe) have added an extra dimension to this team.”(afp)

Indonesian mob butchers hundreds of crocs in revenge attack

LONDON - Prime Minister Theresa May faces potentially highly damaging attacks from both sides in parliament this week over plans for Britain’s future trading relationship with the EU after Brexit.

In a series of votes, May could come under attack from archBrexiteers in her own Conservative Party who think her plans have watered down Brexit and will leave Britain shackled to the EU once it leaves the bloc in March.

Meanwhile pro-EU diehards are also dissatisfied with her compromise position unveiled last week, and are plotting their own moves, hoping to make ties much stronger.

The votes in parliament’s lower House of Commons come as Britain’s new Brexit minister Dominic Raab heads to Brussels this week for his first talks with the EU’s chief negotiator Michel Barnier.

David Davis quit as Brexit minister and Boris Johnson stepped down as foreign minister last week over May’s Brexit blueprint, which would keep Britain economically close to the EU. Barnier has warned that it will be difficult to reach a conclusion in the negotiations by the October target.

May’s centre-right Conservative minority government counts on the backing of Northern Ireland’s biggest party for a slender Commons majority, leaving it highly vulnerable to rebellions.

More wobbles, after the high-profile resignations, could leave the prime minister in a very fragile position. (afp)

Elon Musk

British caver says considering legal action after Elon Musk ‘pedo’ tweet

BANGKOK - A British caver who helped rescue 12 boys from a Thai cave said Monday he may take legal action against Elon Musk after the entrepreneur called him a “pedo”.

Tesla CEO Musk launched the extraordinary tirade against Vernon Unsworth without providing any justification or explanation, after the cave expert slammed his offer of a miniature submarine to extract the footballers from the Tham Luang cave as a “PR stunt”.

The “Wild Boar” team were rescued last week by an international team of divers through a narrow network of twisting, flooded tunnels.

Unsworth, who provided mapping knowledge of the cave to rescuers, said Musk’s prototype would have had “absolutely no chance of working”.

Musk responded Sunday in a bizarre series of tweets referring to Unsworth, without using his name, as “pedo guy”. “Pedo” is short for paedophile.

The entrepreneur doubled down on his claim, tweeting from his official account to more than 22 million followers: “Bet ya a signed dollar it’s true”.

Musk later deleted the tweets and did not immediately respond to a request for comment through Tesla.

Unsworth told AFP on Monday he had not reviewed the tweets in full and had only heard about them.

But asked if he would take legal action against Musk over the allegation, Unsworth said: “If it’s what I think it is yes.”

The caver said he would make a decision when he flies back to the UK this week, but added that the episode with Musk “ain’t finished”.

- ‘Life and death’ Unsworth, who lives part of the year in Thailand, took part in the gargantuan 18-day effort to retrieve the 12 boys and their coach, a mission that ended on July 10 when the last five members were extracted.

The boys are all in good health and expected to be released from the hospital Thursday.

Reports emerged Monday that two Australian divers who took part in the rescue had obtained diplomatic immunity before the operation in case it failed.

Anaesthetist Richard Harris and diver Craig Challen were protected from prosecution if anything went awry following negotiations between Australian and Thai authorities, according to Australian broadcaster ABC. Challen said the divers had been uncertain if they would be able to save all 12 boys and their coach in the “life and death” rescue mission.

“It wasn’t dangerous for us, but I can’t emphasise enough how dangerous it was for the kids,” he told Perth’s Sunday Times.

The boys got stuck in the cave after wandering in on June 23 after football practice only to find themselves trapped by rising floodwaters.

They were found nine days later on a muddy embankment several kilometres (miles) inside.

The unprecedented operation to haul them out involved sedating the footballers and swimming and carrying them through tight, waterlogged passages.

Musk had proposed using “a tiny, kid-size submarine” featuring technology from his space exploration firm to evacuate the boys, and travelled to Thailand with a prototype last Tuesday. (afp)

The incident happened Saturday following the funeral of the 48-yearold man who was killed after he entered an enclosure while looking for grass to feed his livestock, police and conservation officials said.

“One of the crocodile farm employees... heard someone screaming for help and ran to the scene where they saw a person being mauled by a crocodile,” said Basar Manullang, head of Indonesia’s Natural Resources Conservation Agency in West Papua.

The man’s family and “hundreds” of other locals, angry over the farm’s location near a residential area, marched to the police station where they were told the breeder would pay compensation, he added.

But the mob was not satisfied and headed to the crocodile farm armed with clubs, knives, machetes and shovels which they used to slaughter some 292 crocs, ranging from palmsized babies to two-metre adults, authorities said.

Outnumbered police and conservation officials said they were unable to stop the grisly attack. Criminal charges may be laid, they said.

“For now we are still questioning the witnesses,” said district police chief Dewa Made Sidan Sutrahna.

The bloody incident highlighted the dangers of trespassing into a breeding farm and also raised concerns about its safety.

“They have to make sure that the

Indonesia invites Korean leaders Moon, Kim to Asian Games The leaders of the two Koreas have been invited to next month’s Asian Games in Indonesia, Jakarta said Monday, after the neighbours agreed to field several joint teams at the event.

Indonesian president Joko Widodo sent a formal invitation Friday to South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Widodo’s spokesman said, but it was not immediately clear if either has responded. “The invitation letters have been sent to the leaders,” spokesman Johan Budi told AFP. Last month, Asian Games organisers announced that North and South Korea will field joint teams in three sports -- canoeing, rowing and women’s basketball -- in a sign of thawing tensions.

The two countries -- which are technically still at war after the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice instead of a peace treaty -- will also march together at the opening and closing ceremonies for the showpiece event from August 18-September 2.

The two Koreas formed their first-ever unified Olympic team -- a joint women’s ice hockey squad -- for last February’s Winter Games in the South, with the North’s participation kicking off a thaw between the two neighbours.

The diplomatic detente also triggered a rapid improvement in relations between Pyongyang and Washington, culminating in last month’s summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump in Singapore.

The Asian Games, to be held in Jakarta and Palembang on Sumatra island, will feature some 11,000 athletes competing in 40 sports -- the second-biggest multi-sport event behind the Olympics.(afp)

The Southeast Asian archipelago is home to a vast array of wildlife, including several species of crocodile that regularly attack and kill humans.

Ubud Royal Palace

Djokovic wins fourth Wimbledon title and 13th major

A Royal Palace and Cultural Repository in Ubud GIANYAR - The Ubud Royal Palace is one of the most prominent places in Ubud, as it is smack-dab on the main Jalan Raya Ubud road and intersection. The palace can also be regarded as the focal landmark of Ubud. The Ubud palace was built during the lordship of the late Ida Tjokorda Putu Kandel (1800-1823), and is well-kept by his successive heirs. A visit to the Puri Saren is on many of the itineraries to the Ubud area. It has well-preserved Balinese architecture and charming garden settings, and is best known among lovers of Balinese arts as one of the main sites to view dramatic evening dance performances.

Puri Saren Ubud is reachable after an approximate hour’s drive north from the provincial capital of Denpasar. Many visitors find the palace a convenient stopover, as it is strategically the focal point of Ubud, with the Ubud Art Market, various local and international restaurants just steps away along the main Jalan Raya Ubud. The community meeting hall or bale banjar is just across the road, with the famous Babi Guling Bu Oka warung, serving acclaimed spit roast pig, alongside.

The sacred monkey forest of Padangtegal is just down the southern intersection, following through the Jalan Monkey Forest Road.

A local guide can be occasionally met around the wantilan pavilions, who will be able to assist with visitors’ inquiries about the history and features of the palace.

LONDON - Novak Djokovic raced to a fourth Wimbledon title and 13th career Grand Slam crown on Sunday when he defeated a battling but exhausted Kevin Anderson 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7/3).

World number 21 Djokovic added the 2018 title to his wins in 2011, 2014 and 2015 as he became the lowest-ranked champion since Goran Ivanisevic in 2001.

It also took his Slam total to within one of Pete Sampras and just four behind the 17 of Rafael Nadal who he defeated in the semi-finals.

“It’s more special as it’s the first time I can hear my little boy say ‘daddy, daddy’,” said Djokovic whose son Stefan was up in the players box.

“I would like to congratulate Kevin, he had an incredible run. He had quite a few hours on the court.

“In his first Wimbledon final he didn’t play his best in the first two sets, but in the final set he was a better player and I was quite lucky to get through.”

This time last year, Djokovic’s career was in turmoil after he retired in the quarter-finals with an elbow injury which required surgery and forced him off the tour for the rest of the year.

“It’s easy to talk now. I had to really trust the process. I had to trust in myself,” he said.

“I had a surgery, faced for the first time this kind of severe injury. There were many moments of doubts.

“I didn’t know if I could come back to this level to compete.”

Anderson, the eighth seed, was the first South African in the final in 97

Puri in general is a house of nobility in Bali especially of Balinese rajas and their kin. The Puri Saren Ubud Palace currently also serves as a cultural repository of arts, dance and literature.

It also came just a month after he threatened to skip Wimbledon after a quarter-loss exit in Paris and with his ranking at its lowest in over a decade.

Anderson had needed five sets and saved a match point to beat Roger Federer in the last-eight.

He then played six hours and 36 minutes to defeat John Isner in the semis in the second longest singles match ever played at a Grand Slam.

It was hardly surprising that he suffered a dramatic power failure in the first two sets against a player who he had defeated only once in six previous meetings and that was 10 years ago. (afp)

Modric says Golden Ball ‘bittersweet’ after World Cup defeat

Croatia captain Luka Modric said being awarded the Golden Ball for the World Cup’s best player was “bittersweet” after losing the final 4-2 to France on Sunday.

“We are proud of what we have done, but a bit sad at losing the final.” Despite being forced into extra-time in all three of their knockout rounds before the final, Croatia dominated the opening period and were desperately unlucky to trail 2-1 at half-time through Mario Mandzukic’s own goal and a controversial Antoine Griezmann penalty.

World Cup final in 68 years, with a population of just over four million, finally wilted after the break as Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe added to France’s lead before Mandzukic pulled a goal back.

“Although I think we deserved more, we can’t change anything,” added Modric. “We can only be proud of what we did -- we never gave up and fought until the end.”

With the score at 1-1, France were awarded a penalty after Argentine referee Nestor Pitana reviewed video footage of an Ivan Perisic handball.

Croatia were doubly frustrated

by Pitana’s decision as France’s opener also came from a dubious free-kick.

“The small details went in favour of France. It is a shame because I think we were very,

very good and deserved to win,” said Croatian midfielder Ivan Rakitic. “It is a shame that they didn’t review the foul before the first goal and only the one that went against us.

“The foul for the first goal is clearly not a foul, the penalty is very, very dubious... it hurts a lot to lose like this.”

Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic insisted VAR was a “good thing” for football despite Pitana’s call going against his side.

But Rakitic believes improvements can still be made to the system that was being used in the World Cup for the first time.

“I understand they want to improve things with VAR, but there is still margin for improvement,” he added. “It has helped a lot but it is still not perfect.”(afp)

‘Thank you, heroes’ - press hail Croatia squad

Croatian media on Monday hailed their team as heroes after the small country’s historic success in reaching the World Cup final where France beat them 4-2. “Thank you, heroes! - You gave us everything!” read the Sportske Novosti frontpage. “’Vatreni’ (the “Fiery Ones” in Croatian), you are the biggest, you are our pride, your names will remain written in gold forever!” the newspaper said.

It showed a photo of captain Luka Modric who was awarded the Golden Ball for the best player at the tournament, holding a trophy, although with a sad face after the defeat. “Brave hearts - You made us proud,” said Jutarnji List daily.

“Croatia celebrates you, you are our gold!” echoed the Vecernji List. It noted that for the past month coach Zlatko Dalic’s team “made Croatia better”.

“They restored pride, pulled it out of the pessimism” reigning in the country whose economy remains among the weakest in the European Union.

More than 100,000 red-and-white-painted Croatian fans were expected to welcome the squad home later Monday in the capital Zagreb.(afp)

Macron basks in World Cup glow, hoping to capture feel-good factor

For a president who has travelled the globe for a year telling audiences that “France is back” under his leadership, the country’s World Cup victory couldn’t come at a better time for Emmanuel Macron as he confronts growing challenges on multiple fronts.

The 4-2 defeat of Croatia in Moscow on Sunday by the young French team starring Kylian Mbappe was celebrated by 40-year-old Macron in person, who jumped and pumped his fists with each goal.

He even broke out a “dab” in the changing room -- a type of celebration imported from American football players and rappers -- as the jubilant squad savoured its success afterwards.

Beyond the sporting triumph, it will also be cheered in the presidential palace for reinforcing a narrative Macron has promoted abroad since his election: of a young, dynamic France with a more prominent global role.

“This victory will improve France’s image for several years, and almost automatically that of its leader,” Pascal Boniface, director of the Institute for International and Strategic Relations, a French think-tank, told AFP. “It’s about soft power and the international prestige of France.

Football is now global. Before the Chinese wouldn’t have been bothered who won, but now they want to know. Even North Korea will follow it,” he added.

Former president Jacques Chirac saw his polling numbers bounce in 1998 when France last won the World Cup even though the ageing Gaullist took little interest in football and barely knew the names of the players.

last year have been showing France as a key player in an increasingly fractious world, a role which he and many observers felt had been lost during the previous presidency of Francois Hollande.

The young centrist leader has travelled widely to push his blueprint for overhauling the European Union and spearhead efforts to fight climate change.

He has also lead the charge against resurgent nationalism and isolationism, both on the continent and by its traditional ally the US under Donald Trump.

Yet on issues ranging from the fraying Iran nuclear deal to initiatives to end the conflicts in Syria and Libya, Macron has struggled to produce any tangible results and his EU reform drive is also floundering.

Resistence to his far-reaching drive to reform French institutions and bolster economic growth has sparked mass strikes, with his poll numbers near the lowest since his election last year.

An Odoxa survey published on July 5 found that just 29 percent of respondents thought Macron’s policies were “fair”. While 75 percent declared him “dynamic”, only 45 percent considered him “likeable”.

- ‘Magnifying effect’ Giving his first speech as president, Macron had promised to make France feel better about itself and its place on the global stage, which makes the rousing performance of its young, ethnically diverse football squad a perfect gift.

“This win is obviously going to have a magnifying effect on France,” said Paul Dietschy, a French historian specialising in football at the University of Franche-Comte.

Before attending Sunday’s final, Macron congratulated Rus-

sia’s President Vladimir Putin for organising a contest that went off without a hitch -- after years of growing tensions between Moscow and the West.

“Sports are often just a pretext.

Macron’s trips to Russia for the semi-finals and especially the final, with France victorious no less, may have created the opportunity for a different type of dialogue with Putin,” Dietschy said.

And the political dividends could keep coming with the country set to host the rugby World Cup in 2023 followed by the Olympics the following year.

“In the same way that ping-pong diplomacy in 1971 allowed China and the US to restore ties, we could see this facilitating France-Russia relations,” he said, referring to a visit by American ping pong players to China that year.

On the domestic front, the boisterous street parties which brought strangers into each others’ arms offers a welcome contrast to the tensions in many of France’s deprived urban neighbourhoods.

Many youths in the so-called “banlieues”, who often come from immigrant families, have long complained of being treated as second-class citizens unfairly targeted by police.

“We want to hope that this France, usually so quick to doubt itself and stew over its divisions, can find in this the energy to move forward,” the La Montagne newspaper in Clermont-Ferrand, central France, wrote in an editorial.

The question is also whether Macron can capitalise on his opportunity before his five-year term ends.

“This is good for the country’s morale, but what’s going to matter in 2022 is the unemployment rate, not the second World Cup title,” Boniface said.(afp)

Djokovic wins fourth Wimbledon title and 13th major

A Royal Palace and Cultural Repository in Ubud GIANYAR - The Ubud Royal Palace is one of the most prominent places in Ubud, as it is smack-dab on the main Jalan Raya Ubud road and intersection. The palace can also be regarded as the focal landmark of Ubud. The Ubud palace was built during the lordship of the late Ida Tjokorda Putu Kandel (1800-1823), and is well-kept by his successive heirs. A visit to the Puri Saren is on many of the itineraries to the Ubud area. It has well-preserved Balinese architecture and charming garden settings, and is best known among lovers of Balinese arts as one of the main sites to view dramatic evening dance performances.

Puri Saren Ubud is reachable after an approximate hour’s drive north from the provincial capital of Denpasar. Many visitors find the palace a convenient stopover, as it is strategically the focal point of Ubud, with the Ubud Art Market, various local and international restaurants just steps away along the main Jalan Raya Ubud. The community meeting hall or bale banjar is just across the road, with the famous Babi Guling Bu Oka warung, serving acclaimed spit roast pig, alongside.

The sacred monkey forest of Padangtegal is just down the southern intersection, following through the Jalan Monkey Forest Road.

The performance stage, with a backdrop of ornate angkul-angkul traditional gate and guardian statues, hosts nightly dance performances with gamelan orchestras. The palace provides a great setting with a gorgeous entrances and exotic architectural elements.

Tickets to these performances usually start to be sold in the afternoon. The front section of the palace is open to the public. Walkthroughs for viewing and photos during the day are complimentary. A local guide can be occasionally met around the wantilan pavilions, who will be able to assist with visitors’ inquiries about the history and features of the palace.

LONDON - Novak Djokovic raced to a fourth Wimbledon title and 13th career Grand Slam crown on Sunday when he defeated a battling but exhausted Kevin Anderson 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7/3).

World number 21 Djokovic added the 2018 title to his wins in 2011, 2014 and 2015 as he became the lowest-ranked champion since Goran Ivanisevic in 2001.

It also took his Slam total to within one of Pete Sampras and just four behind the 17 of Rafael Nadal who he defeated in the semi-finals.

“It’s more special as it’s the first time I can hear my little boy say ‘daddy, daddy’,” said Djokovic whose son Stefan was up in the players box.

“I would like to congratulate Kevin, he had an incredible run. He had quite a few hours on the court.

“In his first Wimbledon final he didn’t play his best in the first two sets, but in the final set he was a better player and I was quite lucky to get through.”

This time last year, Djokovic’s career was in turmoil after he retired in the quarter-finals with an elbow injury which required surgery and forced him off the tour for the rest of the year.

“It’s easy to talk now. I had to really trust the process. I had to trust in myself,” he said.

“I had a surgery, faced for the first time this kind of severe injury. There were many moments of doubts.

“I didn’t know if I could come back to this level to compete.”

Anderson, the eighth seed, was the first South African in the final in 97

Puri Saren Ubud While in Bali you will frequently encounter palatial structures boasting historical significance prefixed with the word Puri, literally Balinese ‘royal palaces’. Puri in general is a house of nobility in Bali especially of Balinese rajas and their kin. The Puri Saren Ubud Palace currently also serves as a cultural repository of arts, dance and literature.

It also came just a month after he threatened to skip Wimbledon after a quarter-loss exit in Paris and with his ranking at its lowest in over a decade.

Anderson had needed five sets and saved a match point to beat Roger Federer in the last-eight.

He then played six hours and 36 minutes to defeat John Isner in the semis in the second longest singles match ever played at a Grand Slam.

It was hardly surprising that he suffered a dramatic power failure in the first two sets against a player who he had defeated only once in six previous meetings and that was 10 years ago. (afp)

Pacquiao will be 40 in December but was beaming as he told reporters afterwards: “Do I look 39?

From page 1

- France make amends Despite a failure to lift the World Cup a second time, Henry, Trezeguet and Deschamps were part of the side that backed up their success by winning Euro 2000.

Following in the footsteps of their boss, who captained the 1998 World Cup-winning side, is the challenge for France after making amends for losing the Euro 2016 final on home soil. The difference in 2016 was that Deschamps did not have Mbappe to call on when looking for inspiration against Portugal.

Mbappe’s performances in Russia are the culmination of a whirlwind two years for the world’s most expensive teenager after two Ligue 1 titles and a 180 million euro move

from Monaco to PSG. “Winning a World Cup so young opens doors. Now I need to keep working,” added Mbappe, who insisted he will “100 percent” remain at PSG despite interest from Real Madrid in making him Cristiano Ronaldo’s successor at the European champions.

Mbappe seems destined to one day inherit Ronaldo’s crown as the holder of the Ballon d’Or and is now a contender to end the domination of the Portuguese and Lionel Messi.

Ominously for the competition, France only look like getting stronger as Mbappe and a host of youthful teammates mature.

“The new players have helped us enormously,” said Griezmann. “Pavard, Lucas and Kyky (Mbappe) have added an extra dimension to this team.”(afp)

Indonesian mob butchers hundreds of crocs in revenge attack

LONDON - Prime Minister Theresa May faces potentially highly damaging attacks from both sides in parliament this week over plans for Britain’s future trading relationship with the EU after Brexit.

In a series of votes, May could come under attack from archBrexiteers in her own Conservative Party who think her plans have watered down Brexit and will leave Britain shackled to the EU once it leaves the bloc in March.

Meanwhile pro-EU diehards are also dissatisfied with her compromise position unveiled last week, and are plotting their own moves, hoping to make ties much stronger.

The votes in parliament’s lower House of Commons come as Britain’s new Brexit minister Dominic Raab heads to Brussels this week for his first talks with the EU’s chief negotiator Michel Barnier.

David Davis quit as Brexit minister and Boris Johnson stepped down as foreign minister last week over May’s Brexit blueprint, which would keep Britain economically close to the EU. Barnier has warned that it will be difficult to reach a conclusion in the negotiations by the October target.

May’s centre-right Conservative minority government counts on the backing of Northern Ireland’s biggest party for a slender Commons majority, leaving it highly vulnerable to rebellions.

More wobbles, after the high-profile resignations, could leave the prime minister in a very fragile position. (afp)

British caver says considering legal action after Elon Musk ‘pedo’ tweet

BANGKOK - A British caver who helped rescue 12 boys from a Thai cave said Monday he may take legal action against Elon Musk after the entrepreneur called him a “pedo”.

Tesla CEO Musk launched the extraordinary tirade against Vernon Unsworth without providing any justification or explanation, after the cave expert slammed his offer of a miniature submarine to extract the footballers from the Tham Luang cave as a “PR stunt”.

The “Wild Boar” team were rescued last week by an international team of divers through a narrow network of twisting, flooded tunnels.

Unsworth, who provided mapping knowledge of the cave to rescuers, said Musk’s prototype would have had “absolutely no chance of working”.

Musk responded Sunday in a bizarre series of tweets referring to Unsworth, without using his name, as “pedo guy”. “Pedo” is short for paedophile.

The entrepreneur doubled down on his claim, tweeting from his official account to more than 22 million followers: “Bet ya a signed dollar it’s true”.

Musk later deleted the tweets and did not immediately respond to a request for comment through Tesla.

Unsworth told AFP on Monday he had not reviewed the tweets in full and had only heard about them.

But asked if he would take legal action against Musk over the allegation, Unsworth said: “If it’s what I think it is yes.”

The caver said he would make a decision when he flies back to the UK this week, but added that the episode with Musk “ain’t finished”.

- ‘Life and death’ Unsworth, who lives part of the year in Thailand, took part in the gargantuan 18-day effort to retrieve the 12 boys and their coach, a mission that ended on July 10 when the last five members were extracted.

The boys are all in good health and expected to be released from the hospital Thursday.

Reports emerged Monday that two Australian divers who took part in the rescue had obtained diplomatic immunity before the operation in case it failed.

Anaesthetist Richard Harris and diver Craig Challen were protected from prosecution if anything went awry following negotiations between Australian and Thai authorities, according to Australian broadcaster ABC. Challen said the divers had been uncertain if they would be able to save all 12 boys and their coach in the “life and death” rescue mission.

“It wasn’t dangerous for us, but I can’t emphasise enough how dangerous it was for the kids,” he told Perth’s Sunday Times.

The boys got stuck in the cave after wandering in on June 23 after football practice only to find themselves trapped by rising floodwaters.

They were found nine days later on a muddy embankment several kilometres (miles) inside.

The unprecedented operation to haul them out involved sedating the footballers and swimming and carrying them through tight, waterlogged passages.

Musk had proposed using “a tiny, kid-size submarine” featuring technology from his space exploration firm to evacuate the boys, and travelled to Thailand with a prototype last Tuesday. (afp)

The incident happened Saturday following the funeral of the 48-yearold man who was killed after he entered an enclosure while looking for grass to feed his livestock, police and conservation officials said.

“One of the crocodile farm employees... heard someone screaming for help and ran to the scene where they saw a person being mauled by a crocodile,” said Basar Manullang, head of Indonesia’s Natural Resources Conservation Agency in West Papua.

The man’s family and “hundreds” of other locals, angry over the farm’s location near a residential area, marched to the police station where they were told the breeder would pay compensation, he added.

But the mob was not satisfied and headed to the crocodile farm armed with clubs, knives, machetes and shovels which they used to slaughter some 292 crocs, ranging from palmsized babies to two-metre adults, authorities said.

Outnumbered police and conservation officials said they were unable to stop the grisly attack. Criminal charges may be laid, they said.

“For now we are still questioning the witnesses,” said district police chief Dewa Made Sidan Sutrahna.

The bloody incident highlighted the dangers of trespassing into a breeding farm and also raised concerns about its safety.

Indonesian president Joko Widodo sent a formal invitation Friday to South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Widodo’s spokesman said, but it was not immediately clear if either has responded. “The invitation letters have been sent to the leaders,” spokesman Johan Budi told AFP. Last month, Asian Games organisers announced that North and South Korea will field joint teams in three sports -- canoeing, rowing and women’s basketball -- in a sign of thawing tensions.

The two countries -- which are technically still at war after the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice instead of a peace treaty -- will also march together at the opening and closing ceremonies for the showpiece event from August 18-September 2.

The two Koreas formed their first-ever unified Olympic team -- a joint women’s ice hockey squad -- for last February’s Winter Games in the South, with the North’s participation kicking off a thaw between the two neighbours.

The diplomatic detente also triggered a rapid improvement in relations between Pyongyang and Washington, culminating in last month’s summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump in Singapore.

The Asian Games, to be held in Jakarta and Palembang on Sumatra island, will feature some 11,000 athletes competing in 40 sports -- the second-biggest multi-sport event behind the Olympics.(afp)

Deutsche Bank says to beat earnings forecasts in Q2 Germany’s biggest lender Deutsche Bank said Monday it had far outstripped analysts’ estimates of its earnings in the second quarter, but its bottom line remained short of last year’s performance.

The group said it would report net income of “approximately 400 million euros” ($467 million) between April and June -- 10.5 percent lower than the same period last year.

But the result is much beefier than predictions from analysts surveyed by data company Factset, who forecast net income of around 120 million euros.

Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank said

second-quarter revenues would be stable year-on-year, at around 6.6 billion euros -- higher than analysts’ forecast of around 6.4 billion.

“Management believes that these results demonstrate the resilience of the franchise,” the group said in a statement.

Deutsche is looking to project a refreshed, confident image to investors under new chief executive Christian Sewing, who replaced crisis firefighter John Cryan at the head of the bank in April.

After the group reported a 79percent slump in profits in the first quarter, to just 120 million euros, company lifer Sewing announced

it was time to “act decisively” by slashing some activities at its flagship corporate and investment banking division.

In future, Deutsche plans to reduce its presence in the United States and Asia in favour of Europe and Germany and retreat from certain trading activities.

Shares in the group surged on the preliminary results release in Monday morning trading, gaining 5.1 percent to trade at 10.10 euros by 0850 GMT in Frankfurt and topping the DAX index of bluechip German stocks. The bank will publish its complete second quarter results on July 25. (afp)

Tetimpug Tetimpug is a means used in mecaru or exorcism ceremony. Tetimpug is made from one young bamboo segment which is then burned with danyuh (dried old coconut leaves) to produce a burst. It is used to draw the power to carry out a yadnya ceremony.

There are several types of tetimpug, in which some use three segments of bamboo and some others use five segments. This use highly depends on the level of ceremony to be executed. The mecaru ceremony uses three pieces in the usual category and symbolizes Tri Kona, namely the utpati (generation), stiti (operation), and pralina (destruction).

Meanwhile, the use of five pieces of tetimpug is in the caru belonging to larger category such as grandiose ritual. It represents the Panca Maha Bhuta or five great elements consisting of the prithivi (earth), apah (water), agni (fire), vayu (air) and akhas (ether). (kmb)

Nusa Penida tourism

MASTUNG - The death toll from a suicide bombing that hit southwestern Pakistan on Friday has risen to 149, making it the second most lethal attack in the country’s history, officials said Sunday as top politicians joined a day of national mourning.

DEVELOPMENT of Nusa Penida in Klungkung is growing rapidly. Both domestic and foreign tourist visits are quite a lot. This can boost local revenue. Nevertheless, the district government is considered necessary to make a grand design from an early age to address it. Do not let the archipelago having the nickname of the blue paradise island become the second Kuta filled with crowdedness and bustles.

regular scenery. A number of streets to the tourist attractions are inevitably crowded.

Moreover, congestion also happens. Such a situation gets the attention of the parliament.

Chairman of Commission II of the Klungkung House of Representatives, Komang Suantara, said the district government should make a grand design of tourism early on.

“Now, the visit is very crowded. Within a day, it can reach thousands. Do not let this archipelago area be like the crowded and frequently jammed Kuta. There should be a grand design early on to anticipate it,” he said recently.

This Gerindra politician also expressed an idea that tourists should use motorcycles. In addition to suppressing congestion, tourists can enjoy the natural beauty more freely.

“Tourists wishing to visit the other objects can also be made easier,” he said.

He also asserted the use of transportation needs to be supported by regulation and readiness of supporting facilities, such

Another important thing is readiness of motor to ensure safety standards. “Now, it depends on the district government to build the image, where if traveling to Nusa Penida is identical to motorcycle. This can become uniqueness,” he added.

Jungutbatu village on Nusa Lembongan becomes one of the tourist destinations.

Local headman, Made Suryawan, did not deny the crowdedness that happened at the central road of the village when holiday seasons arrive. According to him, the government needs to build a new way to break it down. “This has been proposed. The new road is very important to support tourism in the future so that it will no longer be hit by crowdedness,” he said. (sos)

Warung Pak Tut follows the latest demands

DENPASAR - The era of digital technology is very influential on the marketing process. It does not only apply in the marketing of fashion and home, but also in fresh food. With the digital technology, the delivery does not take many days causing the food to break down. However, within a few hours even a few minutes, the food can arrive home without having to go out.

Warung Pa’Tut is one of the food stalls newly opened last February 2018. It offers modern taste commonly demanded by millennial generation and other generations living in the digital era.

People wishing to purchase food should not only come directly to the stall, but can also order via online motorcycle taxi and via phone.

Moreover, 50 percent of the sales are generated indirectly or the consumers do not come to the stall in person but they order via online motorcycle taxi and phone.

“Right now, between the online order and those dining in are balanced,” said I Ketut Oka Janasuta, the owner of the Warung Pa’Tut accompanied by his wife Ni Nyoman Nurdeviyanti, when met by Bali Post not long ago.

Other than using ‘modern’ market-

ing tool, Warung Pa’Tut also follows the ‘modern’ taste where each food has its own level. “Young people usually buy noodles with spicy level of 1 until 5, for example. Here, at our stall we also offer the similar thing. Young people can choose satay with the desired level of spiciness,” said Pak Tut as he is familiarly addressed.

However, the Pa’Tut food stall is focused on serving Balinese food.

There are twisted satay, seafood pepes, meatballs, rice bag (tipat) curry, chicken betutu, and curly chicken, intact fried chicken and tuna condiment. “We have different level of spiciness. There is non-spicy, spicy, and very spicy tuna condiment,” said Pak Tut who is also an architect.

Chili sauce is packed in nice and hygienic bottles. The price starts from IDR 35,000 to IDR 40,000 depending on the level of spiciness. Due to the online marketing, the market is not only in Bali but also reaches Palangkaraya, Jakarta and Surabaya.

The secret recipe of his delicacy also lies in the raw ingredients in use. Only selected ingredients can be processed into delicious cuisines. Twisted satay, fish pepes and meatballs are made of marlin fish. He just used the certain part of the fish meat as not all parts of the marlin fish are used. After trying

Needs early grand design to anticipate the second Kuta

Nusa Penida is no longer strange to people’s ears. People’s mind will directly point out to an island becoming one of the tourist destinations in Bali. Tourist attractions continue to grow spreading over Nusa Gede, Lembongan, and Ceningan. Other than marine and natural objects, it also offers costal tourism. With their white sand, it looks beautiful in combination with harmonious turquoise seawater.

Many tourist accommodations have also grown overlooking the sea and spreading over a number of locations. There are hotels, homestay and villa. In recent years, domestic and foreign tourists have come. As soon as dropping off the boat, they depart to Klungkung mainland and Sanur, Denpasar. Car rental services are waiting interspersed with a wave of hand as a sign to offer transport services.

When long holiday arrives, the number of visits significantly increases. Crowded activities do not only happen in the sea but also in mainland. Passing vehicles become

various fish, only marlin is considered the most delicious.

Combination of the architectural art of Pak Tut with medical science of his wife produces food that is not only tasty but also artistic and hygienic.

“We do not use MSG and artificial flavoring. We just rely on the delicious flavor of the spices. In short, no preservatives are added so it becomes fresh,” he concluded.

Pak Tut likes cooking Balinese cuisines and has the desire to attract younger generation to return to local cuisines. This idea inspired him to open the Warung Pa’Tut. “Currently, the taste of younger generation has changed and they are no longer interested in our typical cuisines. I see there are noodles in particular levels.

My husband is a good cook, so we make the culinary creations like the taste of young people based on the request of spicy, sweet and spicy sweet category,” replied Nurdeviyanti.

After trying the delicacies of Pak Tut, consumers will immediately get addicted. It is the slogan of his food stall. Some customers are precisely repeaters who have previously tried his cooking. Later on, he wanted that Balinese cuisines are better known to the public, not only to local people but also the world community. (kmb42)

The attack claimed by the Islamic State group was the latest in a series of deadly blasts at various election campaign events ahead of national polls on July 25.

A suicide bomber detonated as local politician Siraj Raisani spoke to a crowd of supporters in southwestern Mastung district on Friday.

Raisani was among those killed.

The dead included nine children aged between six and 11, senior government official Qaim Lashari said Sunday, adding that 70 people remained in hospital with five in a critical condition.

The latest toll topped that of a 2007 bomb attack in Karachi targeting former premier Benazir Bhutto, which killed 139 people.

The country’s worst-ever attack was an assault on a school in the northwestern city of Peshawar in 2014 that left more than 150 people dead, many of them children.

Authorities will publish adverts in local newspapers on Monday seeking information on bodies taken home directly after the latest attack and buried without informing police, Lashari said, meaning the official toll could rise again.

“We are trying our best to ascertain the exact data of those killed in the blast,” he told AFP. Saeed Jamal, another senior government official, confirmed the latest death toll and number wounded in the attack.

- ‘A huge tragedy’ Politicians including high-profile election candidate and former international cricketer Imran Khan visited provincial capital Quetta Sunday to pay their respects to the dead.

“It was a huge tragedy,” Khan told a press conference, calling for the military, police and civilian government to prevent further attacks.

Friday’s blast came hours after another bomb killed at least four people at a campaign rally in Bannu in the country’s northwest.

A third bomb killed 22 people at another rally in Peshawar on Tuesday.

Shahbaz Sharif, brother of ousted premier Nawaz Sharif and rival to Khan, also visited Quetta and called for the attack’s culprits to face “exemplary” punishment.

The visits took place hours after funeral prayers were offered for Raisani in a ceremony attended by Pakistan’s powerful military chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa.

Raisani’s body was then driven from Quetta to his ancestral home of Kanak, near where he was killed, for a second set of funeral prayers tightly guarded by paramilitary forces.

He was laid to rest beside the grave of his son Akmal, who was killed in a grenade attack in 2011.

“Every eye is tearful,” he told AFP.

Two of his nephews had attended the rally in order to taste the cold sweet syrup that political parties often serve at such events, he said. They were both killed.

with just minor injuries, said the moments after the blast were “terrible”.

King of the Ghats: life and death on the banks of the Ganges

CHANDAN KHANNA / AFP

In this photograph taken on June 2, 2018 an Indian man gets his head shaved at the Manikarnika Ghat in the old quarters of Varanasi.

VARANASI - It is well past midnight as Bahadur Choudhary, a fourthgeneration caretaker of Varanasi’s ancient cremation grounds, sprinkles ceremonial butter on huge funeral pyres burning on the banks of the Ganges. Choudhary is illiterate, poor and low caste, but his role in Varanasi, one of the holiest cities in India, is sacrosanct in Hindu mythology.

Born a keeper of the flame, tradition dictates that Choudhary oversee the sacred fires and cremation grounds at Varanasi that Hindus believe free them from the cycle of life and death.

These funeral custodians are the Doms, a small community living by Varanasi’s burning “ghats”, where cremation fires burn day and night

and the smell of the dead hangs heavy in the air.

“The dead are our only business,” Choudhary told AFP at the Manikarnika ghat, where thick black smoke rose from pyres as huddled families sobbed, and beggars and near-naked holy men wandered around seeking donations.

For centuries, the Doms have provided the ceremonial flame used to cremate the dead brought to Varanasi for “moksha”, or release from the Hindu life cycles.

At the ghats, the Doms pass flaming torches to the families of the deceased, who ignite the wooden pyres dotting the riverside.

As the bodies wrapped in white shroud and marigold flowers are

turned to ash, the remains are collected and sprinkled in the Ganges, and the Doms collect their dues.

Choudhary, instructing two fire attendants to add more butter and wood to a pyre, said their community survives off whatever the mourners pay them.

“Some can barely afford the cremation,” he said. “Others make generous donations, and even offer to feed all the labourers.”

Choudhary said he could earn as little as 150 rupees ($2) for backbreaking labour that could last 18 hours. A good day could bring up to $75, he said. It is little income to sustain their families, Choudhary said, but there are few other opportunities for work. (afp)

Bali needs economic diversification

Scientists traced a high-energy neutrino back to its source: a blazar, a galaxy harboring a supermassive black hole that fuels powerful jets of particles.

A high-energy neutrino has been traced to its galactic birthplace

CHICAGO - A zippy little particle has been traced back to its cosmic stomping grounds, a flaring galaxy 4 billion light-years away, for the first time solving a cosmic whodunit. Scientists have long puzzled over the sources of high-energy particles from space, which batter the Earth at energies that can outstrip the world’s most advanced particle accelerators. Now, physicists have identified the source of an energetic, lightweight particle called a neutrino. The intergalactic voyager came from a type of bright galaxy called a blazar located in the direction of the constellation Orion, scientists report online July 12 in Science.

“This is super exciting news,” says astrophysicist Angela Olinto of the University of Chicago, who was not involved with the new result. “It’s marking the beginning of what we call neutrino astronomy,” which uses the nearly massless particles to reveal secrets of cosmic oddities like blazars. While there may be additional cosmic sources for high-

energy neutrinos, the detection indicates that at least some come from blazars.

The result also suggests that blazars emit other energetic particles known as cosmic rays, which are produced in tandem with neutrinos. The origins of high-energy cosmic rays are poorly understood and until now, “nobody has ever been able to pinpoint a source that

produces them,” says astrophysicist Francis Halzen of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, a leader of IceCube, the Antarctic neutrino observatory that detected the particle.

Thanks to this discovery, “we will better understand nature of the universe’s immense cosmic accelerators,” France Córdova said in a July 12 news confer-

ence in Alexandria, Va. Scientists can’t produce such high-energy particles on Earth, “so we have to turn to the heavens to deepen our understanding of the highestenergy processes,” said Córdova, the director of the National Science Foundation, which funded IceCube.

IceCube, which was constructed within a cubic kilometer of ice sheet, uses thousands of embedded sensors to measure light produced when neutrinos slam into the ice.

On September 22, 2017, IceCube detected a neutrino with an energy of nearly 300 trillion electron volts. (For comparison, protons in the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva reach energies of 6.5 tril-

MADISON - When eggs go bad, bacteria usually get the blame.

But some bacteria help bobtail squid keep their eggs fresh.

Bacteria that female Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes) deposit in the jelly surrounding their eggs can fight off a fungus called Fusarium keratoplasticum, Spencer Nyholm reported July 9 at the Beneficial Microbes Conference.

A specialized organ called the accessory nidamental gland is

found only in female bobtail squid and other cephalopods. The organ houses bacteria, mostly varieties of Rhodobacteraceae and Verrucomicrobia, and helps coat eggs with a thick layer of protective jelly impregnated with the microbes.

Nyholm, of the University of Connecticut in Storrs, and colleagues treated squid eggs with antibiotics to kill the bacteria. The eggs grew fuzzy with fungus, and the developing squid embryos soon died.

Bacteria from the accessory nidamental gland make several types of antifungal chemicals, including some that haven’t been characterized before, the researchers discovered. Some of those antifungal chemicals also inhibited growth of some bacteria and other fungi, including Candida albicans, a type of fungus that causes infections in humans. Squid bacteria may one day be a source of new kinds of natural antibiotics or antifungal drugs, Nyholm says. (net)

Hawaiian bobtail squid have a secret weapon to protect their eggs and offspring: fungus-fighting bacteria.

MANGUPURA — Bali needs to diversify its economy. It should not only rely on tourism, but also concerns about the other economic resources.

“After all, Bali actually needs to diversify its products. If the product is only tourism, it has high risk. When there is something happening to Mount Agung, the economy is down,” said Jacob Peter, Head of the IMF-World Bank 2018 Working Unit on Thursday (Jul. 13). Another example, if there is a security problem, it has very great impact on Bali tourism.

Therefore Bali needs to diversify the product. For example, it can create products that are not intended for the benefit of tourists, so that it can be exported or sent out. It will help Bali’s economy. Food products or manufactured products must be developed as a form of economic diversification. “Otherwise, only depending on tourism is not good,” he said.

He exemplified other countries such as Thailand where even though it has a fairly high tourism, it already diversified with other products as well. “If there is a coup in Thailand, economically it can still work. The impact may not drive too high growth, but it will not drop significantly as well,” he said. According to him, in the future it should be considered even though tourism remains a mainstay.

He expressed such opinion when seeing the availability of paddy fields in Bali having reduced, transformed into hotels and so on for tourism. “That should become a consideration,” he added. (kmb42)

The suspect Sumanah

IBP/kmb

MANGUPURA — Various modes of crime are committed by thieves to smooth their action as what the suspect Sumanah, 38, did when taking in action on Kuta Beach. He crawled on the sand to a bag belonging to Korean Sunkyung Roh, 22, and took the victim’s valuables. As a result of the action, the perpetrator was arrested on Sunday (Jul. 15) when wishing to take action again.

Spokesperson of Bali Police, Hengky Widjaja, said the disclosure of this case is after the members of Kuta Police did reconnaissance around the scene for about a month.

“Results of the investigation indicated if the theft was committed by the mode of crawling and targeting along Kuta Beach to Seminyak Beach, Badung,” he said.

This case occurred on Saturday (Jun. 2) at 01:00 local time.

Initially, the victim was sitting at the scene exactly in front of the Pullman Hotel. After sitting for a moment there, the victim took the iPhone X in the bag but was no longer in place. He immediately checked the items

stored in the bag, in fact, his debit card and money of IDR 300,000 disappeared. Few hours later, the victim received information from the bank that his debit card was used for transactions at Minimart and Circle K on Jalan Pratama, Tanjung Benoa, South Kuta. Subsequently, the victim reported the incident to Kuta Police.

Armed with the results of CCTV footage and investigations, police conducted a reconnaissance around the scene. The officers believe the perpetrator will return to take action. On Sunday (Jul. 15) at 01:30 local time, the man with similar characteristics with the CCTV footage came again. Police immediately arrested the man in the front gate of the Pullman Hotel. When interrogated, the man claimed to be Sumanah and have stolen the victim’s belongings.

When examined, the perpetrator said if the victim’s credit card was handed over to his friend, ED. Meanwhile, the iPhone X was sold to AN for IDR 5 million and IDR 4 million was used to pay for advance payment for the purchase

of Honda Scoopy motorcycle. The rest of the money is used for everyday purposes. Then, the credit card was used to buy cigarettes and withdraw a cash of IDR 700,000.

“The perpetrator admitted to have taken action for ten times in the same way and his target was on the beach,” said Spokesperson Hengky.

The crime scenes are on Kuta Beach respectively three times in front of the Hotel Bali Anggrek, three times in front of Pullman Hotel, once in front of Beach Walk, once in front of Citadine Hotel, once in front of Hotel Istana Rama and once in front of Kuta Hotel. From this case, police secured the evidence of Honda Scoopy motorcycle, three smartphones, two powerbanks, one speaker, camera, five women’s bags, purses, sunglasses, two banknotes of US dollars, 13 pieces of foreign banknotes from various countries and other evidence. “This case is handled by the Kuta Police and the perpetrator has been detained at the police station,” he said.

Export boosted

Entrepreneurs trained and export documents made easy

DENPASAR —The moment of dollar exchange rate increase is used by the government to boost exports. The effort made by the government is by improving product quality and facilitating completeness of export documents. Meanwhile, the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Bali is expanding its cooperation with export destination countries.

Chairman of Kadin Bali, A.A. Ngurah Alit Wiraputra, said he is exploring the Russian market.

Moreover, on July 17 he was invited by the Russian Chamber of Commerce to discuss about trade cooperation. Other than Russia, Kadin is also exploring Australia. Based on the latest statistical data, the largest drop in the exports is to Australia. The cooperation is done between Indonesian Chamber of Commerce with Russian and Australian counterpart to market the products of Bali.

Furthermore, the Kadin will create a mapping of excellent products that can be exported to both countries. “Not all products

can be received there, so that we also map the quantity,” he said.

According to him, the government has not yet made a mapping effort. So far, the exporters do their exporting business by selftaught, anything is marketed.

Previously, the IWAPI Gianyar said the Middle East market is very good. Meanwhile, Kadin has been working on all countries in the Middle East. The most needed commodities in the Middle East are wood products such as furniture, handicrafts, and others.

The export completeness document like SVLK is no longer a problem because it can be facilitated by Kadin at a more affordable cost. Due to trade

cooperation between Kadin and its counterpart from various countries, the ease and convenience of documents can also be obtained.

The government plan to subsidize SVLK for the micro, small and medium furniture industries is welcomed by Kadin since it makes it easier for the entrepreneurs to boost exports.

However, the target to boost the exports is now constrained by generalized system of preferences (GSP) facilities given by the United States that will be removed. A total of 131 products from Bali such as wood are included in the recipient of the facility. For that reason, Kadin and Minister of Trade have left for America to negotiate this

US policy.

Head of the Bali Industry and Trade Agency, Putu Astawa, said the effort is to provide support for the smoothness of export documents. For example, it required Certificate of Origin (SKA) of the exported products. “We facilitate to make it easier even through online.

Moreover, we still serve even on holidays because we commit to increasing the export,” he said.

The government will also subsidize the SVLK submission.

This program belongs to central government. However, the central government is recognized to have limited funds so that it cannot help all the regions. This year, Bali itself does not get the help but he hoped that Bali can get it later on. “To submit the SVLK needs big cost for surveyor fees to verify that the wood used as the raw material does not damage nature or forest,” he

said. It costs up to IDR 25 million.

Product quality also needs to be improved in order to be competitive and really liked. For that purpose, he did coaching around Bali by providing training in innovation and information, packaging techniques, marketplace training (online sales) and promotion. But he recognized the promotion that can be given by local government is in the country.

Meanwhile, the overseas promotion to expand export destination countries cannot be facilitated because of budget constraints.

Middle East markets such as South Africa and South Asia are being targeted for export. On that account, he hoped that central government can take the industry from Bali to promote overseas. In addition, he attempted to approach the Chinese Consulate in order to facilitate the exhibition in China next November. (kmb42)

Huge drugs haul intercepted in Bali: Indonesia police Bali police said Monday they had intercepted a huge haul of Australia-bound cold relief tablets that contained a key ingredient for making illicit drugs. Some 600,000 pseudoephedrine tablets being sent from South Korea to Australia were found during a stopover on the Indonesian resort island, they said.

The bust happened in January but was announced Monday.

Indonesian authorities said they were tipped off by their counterparts in Australia.

Bottles of the pills, weighing nearly 140 kilograms (310 pounds) in total, were labelled as health food, authorities said.

Lab tests done on the seized drugs confirmed they contained

pseudoephedrine, a precursor for making methamphetamine and other illegal drugs, said Indonesian customs director general Heru Pambudi.

A resident of Australia, who was not identified, had been arrested by Australian police over the haul, Pambudi added.

Indonesia has some of the toughest drug laws in the world. Foreigners are regularly caught trying to bring drugs into Bali and some have been sentenced to death.

In the first half of 2018 alone Bali’s customs office said it had seized 3.9 tonnes of drugs and ingredients used as methamphetamine precursors that were being smuggled through the island.(afp)

With dreamy electro pop, Milk and Bone charts own path QUEBEC CITY - With smooth minimalist electro pop and lush vocal harmonies, Milk and Bone has found a growing audience while charting an unusual path for French Canadian artists -- singing entirely in English.

The Montreal duo of Camille Poliquin and Laurence LafondBeaulne met studying jazz together and playing as back-up musicians when, sensing a chemistry between them four years ago, they posted on their personal social media accounts a snippet of a song that became “New York.”

To their surprise and delight, they quickly amassed a following. The two friends had suddenly become a band. They rushed to find management, figure out a look and choose the duo’s name, whose meaning they still struggle to explain.

“We never saw it coming be-

cause at first this was just a platform for people we knew to listen to our music,” Poliquin told AFP alongside Lafond-Beaulne at their hotel in Quebec City where they played the historic provincial capital’s summer festival.

“Pressure” -- like many of Milk and Bone’s songs, marked by chill but dominant percussion, melancholic keyboards and delicate, complementing layers of the two women’s voices -- has been streamed nine million times on Spotify or the sharing site SoundCloud.

The lyrics delve into emotional sagas, often on uncertain romances.

“Pressure” likens a lover to the solace of a robust shower while “Daydream” -- a track off their second album, “Deception Bay,” which came out earlier this year -- conjures up a dreamy fantasy boyfriend. (afp)

World Cup ‘just the beginning’ for Mbappe-led France

Alexander NEMENOV / AFP

Kylian Mbappe and another supremely talented generation of French players may just be getting started after overcoming Croatia to win the World Cup in Russia.

While the 19-year-old is the poster boy for France’s new crop of talent, the make-up of the squad suggests they have the youth and firepower to dominate international football for years to come.

The average age of a fine back four of Benjamin Pavard, Raphael Varane, Samuel Umtiti and Lucas Hernandez is just 23.

Ousmane Dembele, who cost Barcelona 105 million euros ($123 million), played for just two min-

utes in the knockout stages, while France’s other goalscorers on Sunday, Antoine Griezmann, 27, and Paul Pogba, 25, are in their prime.

In scoring his fourth goal of the tournament and France’s fourth of a 4-2 win in the World Cup final in Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium, Mbappe -- named young player of tournament -- became the youngest player since Pele to score in football’s biggest match.

“I have a story to write, this

is just the beginning,” Mbappe warned the world. “I intend to go even further.”

It is not the first time in Russia the lightning-quick Paris Saint-Germain forward has drawn comparisons with the Brazilian great. In scoring twice against Argentina in the last 16, Mbappe became the first teenager since Pele to score multiple goals in a World Cup game.

“If Kylian keeps equalling my records like this I may have to dust my boots off again,” tweeted Pele.

After starring as a 17-year-old in 1958, Pele went on to win two more World Cups, and while Mbappe has

much to do to match those feats, there is no telling how dominant a young French squad littered with world-class players can become.

Just nine players of the World Cup-winning squad were at Euro 2016, although there were just five changes comparing the starting line-ups from the two finals.

Only Nigeria sent a younger group than Didier Deschamps’s 23 to Russia yet France can boast serial winners at club level in Varane, Mbappe, Pogba and N’Golo Kante.

“Kylian Mbappe is just 19. I hope he will win it again but you

never know,” said France coach Didier Deschamps.

“Just like 20 years ago there were also 19-year-old players like David Trezeguet and Thierry Henry. They could have (won it again), but did not.”
