“The Wolf of Wall Street” producer settles US suit linked to Malaysian fund

‘The Simpsons’ actress finds her own voice ‘In Search for Fellini’

LOS ANGELES - For most fans of “The Simpsons,” the name Nancy Cartwright may ring a bell as the voice of 10-year-old troublemaker Bart Simpson over 28 seasons of the Fox animated show.

Now, the actress is hoping to establish her own voice by documenting a surreal adventure, “In Search of Fellini.”

Cartwright, 59, co-wrote the new film, out in U.S. theaters this weekend, a mostly autobiographical tale of how her obsession with filmmaker Federico Fellini led to her own impromptu solo Italian adventure to find the elusive director.

“All the writers on ‘The Simpsons,’ they’ve created this legacy ... and to be a part of that has been such a privilege,” Cartwright told Reuters.

“For me personally, I would like to be able to, as an artist, establish my own voice.”

“In Search of Fellini” follows Lucy, a young, naive girl living a sheltered life with her mother in a small Midwestern American town until she undergoes a spiritual awakening watching Fellini’s 1954’s “La Strada” and goes to Italy.

The film traces Lucy’s journey through idyllic highs, such as falling in love, and crippling lows, such as an encounter with an older, male stranger that quickly goes wrong quickly - a scenario that Cartwright said she lifted directly from her own experiences.

“As a writer, I thought it absolutely had to be in there. I couldn’t hold onto something that had happened to me because I’m embarrassed to share that I was so naive or stupid,” she said.

Bringing the story to screen was a nearly 30-year effort, Cartwright said.

“I certainly didn’t have the power back then that I have now, I didn’t speak Italian, I didn’t have connections that I have now worldwide, so it took a little bit of time for the physical world to catch up with Nancy’s dream,” she said.

Cartwright said she hopes to write and produce more projects after her experience on “In Search of Fellini.” Meanwhile, she will return in the 29th season of “The Simpsons” in October, continuing her tenure as Bart and characters such as Ralph Wiggum and Nelson Muntz. (rtr)

KUALA LUMPUR - The movie company that made “The Wolf of Wall Street”, and was co-founded by the Malaysian prime minister’s step son, has settled a civil lawsuit brought by the U.S. government to seize assets allegedly bought with money stolen from a Malaysian state fund.

Red Granite Pictures announced the settlement in a filing at the federal Los Angeles court on Friday, without revealing any sum. U.S prosecutors, pursuing a kleptocracy asset recovery initiative, had claimed the 2013 film, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, was financed by Red Granite using funds stolen from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). “The parties are pleased to inform the court that Red Granite and the government have reached a settlement in principle,” the filing stated.

Red Granite has said previously that neither it, or its co-founder Riza Aziz, had done anything wrong.

“We are glad to finally put this matter behind us and look forward to refocusing all of our attention back on our film business,” Red Granite said in a statement.

The U.S. Justice Department has lodged dozens of lawsuits in the past two years related to the alleged misappropriation of $4.5 billion from the investment fund, 1MDB. The United States is seeking to seize some $1.7 billion in assets, making it the largest action brought by the department under its kleptocracy asset recovery initiative.

Producer Riza Aziz (L-R), cast members Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, Jonah Hill and producer Joey McFarland arrive for the U.K. Premiere of “The Wolf of Wall Street” at Leicester Square, in London January 9, 2014.

Minister Najib Razak, who had chaired 1MDB’s advisory board until it was dismantled last year, but he has consistently denied any wrong doing related to the fund.

While Najib has not been the subject of any of the lawsuits, a number of his close associates, including step son Riza Aziz, have been named by U.S. investigators.

Both U.S. and Malaysian officials have confirmed however, that Najib is the “Malaysian Official Number 1” referred to in Federal Bureau of Investigation reports.

Red Granite Pictures provided no details of the settlement, which the filing said remains subject to final documentation and necessary

approvals within the government.

The settlement also covers claims against Red Granite’s rights and interests in two other pictures, “Daddy’s Home” and “Dumb and Dumber To.” Potential witnesses in 1MDB cases are afraid to speak with U.S. investigators as they fear for their safety, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said earlier this month.

The U.S. lawsuits have also sought to seize a Picasso painting given to American movie star Leonardo DiCaprio and millions of dollars worth of jewellery give to Australian model and actress Miranda Kerr, all allegedly from 1MDB funds. (rtr)

54 years after Mt. Agung erupted in 1963

Lava flow now made into quarrying area, housing and school

AMLAPURA - The last eruption of Mount Agung in 1963 still remains in the mind of Balinese people, especially Karangasem. The eruption starting on February 18, 1963 ending on January 27, 1964 was magmatic and claimed a total of 1,148 fatalities while 296 others injured. Now, after 54 years, the former lava flow has become the center for quarrying activities. There are also taken advantage for housing and school building.

History of the Mount Agung’s eruption has been recorded since 1808. At that time, Mount Agung discharged rocks and volcanic ash in large numbers. Another eruption occurred in 1821, a normal eruption. Terrible eruption then re-occurred in 1843, where the eruption was preceded with an earthquake. The materials discharged were in the form of ash, sand and pumice stone. Then, in 1908, 1915 and 1917 in various places in the bottom of the crater and the embankment was found fumaroles. Then, the last eruption occurred in 1963.

Seeing the records of contingency plan documents to face the eruption of Mount Agung, the history indicates if the interphase period of Mount Agung is different, from the shortest period of 16 years to the longest period of 120 years.

For almost a year in the last eruption at the time, Bali chiefly Karangasem was totally paralyzed. All the activities of government and people’s economy stagnated. Everything was focused on the handling of victims amid the never-ending earthquakes while the roars from the crater of Mount Agung continued and accompanied by ash rain.

Since the earthquake activities began to be felt on February 16, 1963, the people of Karangasem continued to be haunted by earthquakes, clouds of smoke and smell of sulfuric gas. On the following days, people were increasingly made panicky by the sound of eruption, the movement of fire at the mouth of the crater amid persistent lightning. On February 24, heavy muddy rains were observed at Besakih causing several buildings of the Eka Dasa Rudra (centenary ritual) collapsed. At that time, Temukus residents fled to Besakih. Hot clouds of the eruption

came down through Tukad Daya to Belong. March 17, 1963 became the peak of Mount Agung activities. Climax of the eruption cloud happened at 05:32. Sound of the eruption was heard averagely every five seconds. The ash rains were getting heavier until the sight was completely obstructed.

Since then, the area of Subagan and Amlapura town was overwhelmed by rain lava to claim thousands of fatalities. It happened until March 21, 1963. After peak of the eruption, all the activities of Mount Agung diminished. The roars were slowly gone. Lava melt moved northwardly and stopped a distance of 7,290 meters from the peak of Mount Agung. This situation then continued to decline until the activity of Mount Agung really stalled on January 27, 1964.

One of the community leaders of Selat subdistrict, I Wayan Sekep, said on Saturday (Sep. 16), the most severe impact occurred on the foot of Mount Agung like at Sebudi village namely the Badeg Dukuh, Badeg Tengah, Badeg Kelodan, Sebudi, Ancut, Telung Buana, Lebih, some of Yeh He and Pura hamlet.

Other impacts of the lava were also experienced at North Duda village, especially at Geriana Kauh and a part of Geriana Kangin.

Due to budget constraint

Cervical cancer vaccine unable to be provincial program DENPASAR - Bali provincial government should take the moment of school student immunization month (BIAS) in August to provide cervical cancer vaccination in young women of Bali following the vaccination pilot project in Greater Jakarta conducted by ministry of health.

“This is an opportunity for Bali provincial government because Jogjakarta already done it,” said Dr. I Nyoman Budiana, on Thursday (Sep. 9). He confirmed that the vaccine can be obtained from the ministry of health so that the budget used comes from the state budget.

The vaccination is given to fifth and sixth grade students for twice injections. Theoretically, the twice vaccine administrations in children under 14 years have the same effectiveness as three times administration in adulthood. “So, twice administrations in children under 14 years can save costs,” he said.

Head of the Bali Health Agency, Ketut Suarjaya, said that his agency follows the national program. All this time, some districts have been pro active in prevention efforts.

Denpasar, for instance, has provided vaccination for junior high school students since 2014. Badung already provided it for free last year, while Gianyar started to implement the vaccination program.

“It is not a national vaccination program. Bali is still waiting because Bali has not been elected as it is usually determined by central government. We have not

DENPASAR - Until Saturday, the activities of Mount Agung were still at the second or alert level. This is in accordance with the observation of ministry of energy and mineral resources, geological agency, Mount Agung center for volcanology and geological hazard mitigation post until 18:00. Communities around the Mount Agung, including climbers, visitors and tourists are still urged not to approach the crater within

been informed by central government to be a pilot project area,” he explained.

Basically, the effectiveness of cervical cancer vaccination is high and due to expensive price of this vaccine the central government has not made this vaccination program into a national policy. Seeing the budget constraints, up to these days Bali provincial government has not

yet made a vaccination program for cervical cancer.

Therefore, his agency encouraged the district / municipal government to conduct cervical cancer vaccination program. “Indeed, the districts having high budget have already done it, while for the other districts we will see later on the availability of local budget. If the district cannot allocate the budget, it may be allocated by the province,” he said.

Due to expensive price of the vaccine, the province is still intensifying the IVA program targeting women aged 30-50 years. (kmb42)

As transparency of employers’ contribution

Kuta customary village introduces Kuta Sayaga System MANGUPURA - So far, the responsibility for contribution of the entrepreneurs or corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Kuta remains less transparent. On that account, as a new form of innovation, a public answer as well as a measure of transparency towards the contribution of the entrepreneurs, the Kuta customary village introduced the Kuta Sayaga system, on Friday (Sep. 15).

According to Chief of Kuta customary village, Wayan Swarsa, this system is an online servicebased system. He said that internally all the village staff in charge of financial management of Kuta customary village will work with online applications. In addition, this application is also for the needs of entrepreneurs as a public accountability so the entrepreneurs can see whether their contribution has been received properly.

Thus, all the entrepreneurs mentioned in the database can open and see their payment history so far any time. In addition, the entrepreneurs can also print a receipt of payment from the system itself. “This is a form of transparency and public accountability because the participation in the form of contribution or service fund becomes the main basis for us to build trinity temple at local village properly,” he said.

Currently, he said there have been 5,200 entrepreneurs recorded in the database. However, approximately 3,000 others have not been entered as active participants in the system. Related to the unlicensed businessman, he affirmed the commitment that Kuta custom-

a radius of 3 km or at elevations of 1,500 meters above sea level.

Chief Executive of Bali Regional Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD), Dewa Made Indra, said that Mount Agung does have the potential for eruption like other volcanoes. It is also evident from the increased activity of this highest mountain in Bali stated to be in alert level. However, there is no sudden volcanic eruption. Everything passes through a process

that can be observed, so there is an early warning for volcanic eruptions.

“Level 1 means normal, level 2--alert, level 3--stand-by and level 4—careful. Why are there such levels? Because they can be predicted, unlike the sudden earthquake,” he explained.

Dewa Indra added that Mount Agung already has a mapping of disaster prone area (KRB), starting from KRB 1 for the farthest radius

up to KRB 3 for the nearest radius.

As prediction, the eruptions may lead northward, southward and southeastward. But for now, there are no indications if the mountain discharges dust or volcanic ash. Nevertheless, his agency has contacted the health agency and Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) office throughout Bali to start preparing masks.

“If later on volcanic activities of Mount Agung increase to discharge dust or ash and it spreads

ary village will not accept any contributions from the unlicensed entrepreneurs because it is risky against incorrect things. “In the trinity temples, not all money is acceptable because it will be used to build the human resources as well as physical development in the trinity temple,” he added.

In the future, he claimed to be patenting the system. Later on, he disclosed there are three technology-based systems that will be patented. They are the application of Kuta Sayaga, the management of Sintaku Pantai Kuta used to arrange all merchants on the Kuta Beach.

Another application is the Simdaku Krama Tamyu to record population.

“The three applications will be used as an application to be distributed throughout customary villages in Bali,” he explained.

In the meantime, Acting Head of Kuta Subdistrict Head, I Made Widiana, appreciated the breakthrough taken by Kuta customary village. Amid the advent of information technology, Kuta customary village did not want to miss in order to manage the existing potential at local village. “This application is the village’s responsibility to the entrepreneurs for their contribution. It does not need to doubt the accountability and transparency,” he said.

He said that contribution of entrepreneurs as a small part of CSR has been elaborated in the village perarem (customary law’s appendix). Because this is a village decision, this also becomes a community’s commitment in the Kuta customary village as set forth in perarem. (kmb23)

Poseidon’s Parade Celebrates End of Summer in Rockaway Beach NEW YORK - A colorful parade marking the end of summer made its way down the Rockaway Beach Boardwalk on Saturday.

NY1’s Clodagh McGowan filed the following report.

Mythical sea creatures came to life at the second annual Posei-

don’s Parade in Rockaway Beach on Saturday.

“It’s a time when the neighborhood can get together and celebrate one last hoorah of summer,” said one costumed participant.

Creativity was on full display, with nautical floats and

costumed characters taking over the boardwalk. Some costumes were more realistic, while others chose whimsical disguises.

Hundreds of mermaids made an appearance; some danced and others traded their flippers for roller skates.

“The costumes, you could see they put so much effort in it. It’s fantastic,” said one parade goer.

‘Poseidon’ himself made an appearance at the parade.

“I decided to make it pop and go very royal, very regal. With the purple and then why not show some love, some pride, some every color in the rainbow,” said Vincent Bonanno, the Poseidon’s Parade Prom King.

Parade founder, Casey Brouder said she was inspired to start the celebration after participating in Coney Island’s mermaid parade.

She added that this year’s parade was extra special because, for the first time since Hurricane Sandy hit, the entire boardwalk is complete.

“It took a long time to get the boardwalk back. And now we can celebrate it, and create a new tradition that we can do for years to come,” said Brouder.

Brouder said the parade is not meant to compete with the Coney Island parade but compliment it. Her Frida Kahlo inspired mermaid costume reflected that.

“I thought a lot about the autumnal equinox coming up and how Coney Island opens with

the solstice in the summer and I wanted to kind of pay tribute to moving into the fall and say

goodbye to the beautiful beach and the beautiful weather,” said Brouder. (IBP/net)

Head of Bali Police Public Relations Kombes Pol. Hengky Widjaja said the arrest was conducted at 01.00 AM by Polda’S Cyber ??Crime team assisted by members of the Singaraja Police and employees of BNI. “The perpetrator were caught red-handed trying to remove devices they had previously installed in the ATM”, he said.

The evidence confiscated from Boris included a “skimming” tool, one Eiger brand waist bag containing a HP Oppo F3 brand and one Telkomsel SIM card, one SIM card XL, one Hotlink SIM card. They also seized one black wallet containing one Fibank ATM card, one St. Antonius Catholic Hospital card, one hospital Graha Ultima Medika hospital, 11 Rp 100 thousand bills, 1 Rp 50 thousand bill, 1 Rp 20,000 bill, 4 Rp 5,000, 5 Rp 2,000, 1 coin 10 Ringgit, 1 coin 1 Euro, 2 pieces 50 Euro, 1 coin of Madame Tussauds and one Samsung headset.

The Cyber ??Unit Team conducts weekly surveillance and found that there were two foreigners who are often in and out of ATMs acting suspiciously. On Saturday, when the perpetrator entered the ATM machine, the officer immediately arrested the perpetrators and secured the evidence.

In order not to become a victim of data syndicate bank customers, Kompol Wisnawa is appealing to bank customers to be careful when inputting their PIN because sometimes hidden cameras have been installed by criminals. Avoid using ATMs in dimly lit or isolated areas as this makes it easier for offenders to install skimming devices. Check your account balance regularly, if there is any strange activity this should be immediately report to the bank. Do not use ATMS too often as this makes you more vulnerable to having account hacked. Register every transaction in your bank using two types of authentication.

“Adhere to these tips so as not to be a victim of skimming crime”, said the former Kapolsek Sukawati, Gianyar. (kmb36)

Clear regulations are needed regarding Lake Batur

BANGLI — Water pollution in Lake Batur has been alarming for some years. The use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides on the farmlands around the lake and floating fish cages (KJA) are key contributing factors to this pollution. How the lake is handled and how activities around the lake are arranged clearly need to be regulated.

Regent of Bangli, I Made Gianyar, recently said that the development of fisheries activities on the Lake is growing rapidly and becoming increasingly complex.

The development of agriculture and fisheries strongly support the economic empowerment of people around the lake. Therefore, the conservation of biodiversity needs to be balanced with the development of tourism and other sectors.

Lake Batur as the main source of water for biological and non biological activities has been neither adequately organized nor inventoried. There need to be regulations, said Gianyar, regarding the use of floating nets for example. Different needs must be accommodated in an integrated, efficient, effective and comprehensive manner, he added.

“We invite Udayana University’s Faculty of Marine and Fisheries, to study the supporting capacity of the lake and asses the appropriate zoning for floating net (KJA) in Lake Batur.

The handling and arrangement of floating nets in Lake Batur requires a clear regulation. We hope the study on the carrying capacity and zoning of floating nets can lead to a strategic policy and a suitable fishery aquaculture development program on and around Lake Batur. The basis of the management of Lake Batur must

be determined by the lake’s spatial ecosystem and integrated ecosystems including the lake, lakeshore and the water catchment area”, said Regent Gianyar during a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) held at the Museum of Batur Volcano, Kintamani, on Wednesday (Sep. 13).

Head of the Bangli Agriculture, Food Security and Fishery Agency (PKP), I Wayan Sukartana, explained that the fisheries commodity wi the greatest market potential that can be developed on Lake Batur using the floating net system is Tilapia. According to Sukartana, the newly utilized land area reaches an average of 0.8 hectare per year from the total amount of potential land that could be developed ( 5 percent of the Lake Batur area reaching IDR 83.35).

The annual average of fish production reaches 3,862 tons for cultivated fishery products, while fish catches reaches an average of 843.45 tons. “Fish cultivation is scattered in several villages namely; Songan A, Songan B, Central Batur, South Batur, Kedisan, Buahan, Abang Batu Dinding, Abang Songan and Trunyan with a total of 180 fish farmer groups”, said Sukartana.

Meanwhile, head of the study team from the Faculty of Ma-

rine and Fisheries, Prof. I Wayan Arthana, PhD, said that Lake Batur has suffered severe damage that has caused pollution and sedimentation.

This damage, he said was caused by agricultural waste, livestock waste, human settlement, forest fires, sulfur bursts, erosion and floating fish nets. Lake Batur also faces the problem of the absence of sewage treatment for water dumped into the lake, large fluctuations in the lake’s water levels and many large piles of garbage around the lake.

Prof. Arthana added that the study aims to determine the most suitable layout of zoning for floating nets, the determination of the maximum number of floating nets allowed in Lake Batur, the determination of points or areas of the sulfur bursts along with the direction of the sulfur’s movement in the lade and create a model design for floating nets that would be worth developing in Lake Batur.

“To achieve the ecological sustainability of Lake Batur, there needs to be clear regulations that take into consideration the economic interests of the community around the lake as well as the role of the community and the government in maintaining and persevering Lake Batur’s ecosystem. (kmb41)

Aid group warns of death among Rohingya in Bangladesh

TOKYO - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is considering calling a snap election as early as next month to take advantage of an uptick in approval ratings and disarray in the main opposition party, domestic media reported on Sunday.

Abe’s ratings have recovered to the 50 percent level in some polls, helped by public jitters over North Korea’s missile and nuclear tests and chaos in the opposition Democratic Party, struggling with singledigit support and defections.

Abe told the head of his Liberal Democratic Party’s junior coalition partner, the Komeito party, that he could not rule out dissolving parliament’s lower house for a snap poll after the legislature convenes for an extra session from Sept. 28, public broadcaster NHK reported, citing unidentified informed sources.

“Until now, it appeared the election would be next autumn, but ... we must always be ready for battle,” media quoted Komeito party chief Natsuo Yamaguchi as telling reporters on Saturday during a visit to Russia.

Speculation has mounted over a snap election on Oct. 22, when three by-elections are scheduled, although other possibilities are later in October or after U.S. President Donald Trump makes a likely visit in early November, media said.

Abe’s ratings had sunk below 30 percent in some surveys in July, battered by suspected cronyism scandals and a perception that he had grown arrogant after more than four years in office.

His popularity rebounded a bit after an early August cabinet reshuffle and has since been helped by worries over a volatile North Korea, which on Friday fired a ballistic missile over Japan, its second such move in less than a month.

“If we have a snap election now, we need to explain it to the public, including how we will cope with the threat from North Korea,” said Koichi Hagiuda, a senior LDP executive, according to NHK. As Japan faces its first impending major security crisis since World War II, it is vital to secure public understanding, he said.

No general election need be held until late 2018, and calling a snap poll could spark criticism that he was creating a political vacuum amid rising regional security tensions.

But an early vote would not only take advantage of Democratic Party disarray but also dilute a challenge from an embryonic party that allies of popular Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike, an ex-LDP lawmaker, are trying to form.

Abe’s coalition would likely lose its two-thirds “super” majority” in the lower house, but keep a simple majority, political sources have said.

Loss of the two-thirds grip would dim prospects Abe can achieve his controversial goal of revising Japan’s pacifist constitution to clarify the military’s role.

Any constitutional amendment requires approval by two-thirds of both chambers and a majority in a public referendum. (rtr)

COX’S BAZAR - Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh could die due to a lack of food, shelter and water, given the huge numbers fleeing violence in Myanmar, an aid agency warned on Sunday, as authorities began moving people to camps to streamline the distribution of help.

Nearly 410,000 members of the Rohingya Muslim minority fled from Myanmar’s western Rakhine state to Bangladesh to escape a military offensive that the United Nations has branded a “textbook example of ethnic cleansing”.

“Many people are arriving hungry, exhausted and with no food or water,” Mark Pierce, Bangladesh country director for the Save the Children aid agency said in a statement.

“I’m particularly worried that the demand for food, shelter, water and basic hygiene support is not being met due to the sheer number of people in need. If families can’t meet their basic needs, the suffering will get even worse and lives could be lost.”

Bangladesh has for decades

faced influxes of Rohingya fleeing persecution in Buddhist-majority Myanmar, where the Rohingya are regarded as illegal migrants.

Bangladesh was already home to 400,000 Rohingya before the latest crisis erupted on Aug. 25, when Rohingya insurgents attacked police posts and an army camp in the western state of Rakhine, killing a dozen people.

Pierce said the humanitarian response needed to be rapidly scaled up.

“That can only be done if the international community steps up funding,” he said.

Rights monitors and fleeing Rohingya say Myanmar security forces and Rakhine Buddhist vigilantes responded to the Aug. 25 insurgent attacks with what

they say is a campaign of violence and arson aimed at driving out the Muslim population.

Myanmar rejects that, saying its security forces are carrying out clearance operations against the insurgents of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army, which claimed responsibility for the August attacks and similar, smaller, raids in October.

The Myanmar government has declared the group a terrorist organisation and accused it of setting the fires and attacking civilians.

Bangladesh border guards said the flow of refugees leaving Myanmar had eased off over the past day, apparently because bad weather had discouraged people from taking to boats to reach Bangladesh. (rtr)

Real Madrid adds lustre to China’s wannabe “Orlando” tourist hub

HENGQIN - Just a stone’s throw across a narrow waterway from the world’s largest gambling hub Macau, a former oyster farming island is being transformed into China’s newest tourism haven.

REUTERS/Bobby Yip

A layout of Hengqin Island under development is displayed inside a Government showroom at Hengqin Island adjacent to Macau, China September 13, 2017. Picture taken September 13, 2017.

EXPANDING MACAU Chinese officials see Hengqin helping Macau diversify away from casinos to a more wholesome tourism industry. More than 80 percent of Macau’s public revenues come from the gambling sector.

Businesses in Macau have been encouraged to invest in Hengqin with the government providing cheaper rent and tax subsidies. Galaxy Entertainment, Shun Tak and Macau Legend have also earmarked developments for Hengqin.

Realtors expect property prices to keep rising once a sea bridge linking Hong Kong, and a high speed rail station are completed.

Hoffman Ma, deputy chairman of Success Universe Group, which operates the Ponte 16 casino in Macau, said Hengqin could take some convention and exhibition business away from the former Portuguese colony. “It doesn’t make sense for Macau to do that, due to a consistent labour shortage,” he said.

Wang Lian, from Wuhan in central China,

brought his daughter to watch whale sharks and polar bears at Chimelong Ocean Kingdom recently. Industry reports show 8.5 million people visited China’s top theme park last year, more than Hong Kong Disneyland’s 6.1 million, and almost a third of the 28 million people who visited Macau last year.

“China’s population is so big they need something like this nearby ... its (Hengqin’s) economic ties will also help Macau develop,” Wang said.(rtr)

delaying decisions after the Supreme Court nullified the results of an Aug. 8 presidential election citing irregularities in the tallying process.

A repeat poll pitting President Uhuru Kenyatta against opposition leader Raila Odinga is scheduled for Oct. 17. Odinga says he will not participate unless demands are met, including the resignation of some staff from the electoral board.

Kenya has the highest per capita income in the region and is known for its capitalist tradition, stability

and role as a Western ally. It hosts the regional headquarters of several global firms.

The government had initially projected a 5.9 percent growth for this year but the economy expanded 4.7 percent in the first quarter, mainly due to poor agricultural performance. Thugge said growth would rise to 6.5 percent per year in the medium term.

“This is contingent on having good weather,” he told a meeting convened to discuss budget prepa-

rations.

The government’s revenue collection for the fiscal year starting July was behind target by 29 billion shillings ($282 million), he said.

The revenue target is 1,549.4 billion shillings for the fiscal year.

“There is a shortfall in customs.

There may be people waiting before they import things,” he told Reuters on the sidelines of the meeting.

Adding to the squeeze, the electoral board has requested 12 billion shillings for the presidential re-run.

“That is only the direct cost.

There is the need to provide for security and so those costs could be much higher than the 12 billion. This was not budgeted for,” Thugge said, adding they will cut non-essential expenditure to fund the poll.

Government officials will no longer be allowed to travel outside the country without clearance from the president and domestic travel will also be reviewed, he said.(rtr)

CUSTOMARY village of Asak, Pertima, Karangasem, is one of the ancient villages in Karangasem. Customs and traditions carried out through generations at this village are well maintained and preserved. For instance, on the Usaba Kaulu, Thursday (Jan. 14), the local customary youth club held a pecaruan agung or animal sacrifice by using a cow. This ritual took place tensely because after being given ritual the cow is released and then pursued by all the apparatuses of customary youth club.

Chief of Asak customary village, Jero Dukuh Ketut Suta, delivered that the ritual is purely performed by local customary youth club. The preparation has been made since two weeks before the main event where they prepared the means of caru in the form of a bull. It was handed over to the secretary of customary youth club and placed in the area of the Patokan Truna and bathed every day at the Beji Yeh Inem spring.

Every night, the bull is guarded by its apparatuses.

When arriving at the peak of ritual on penanggal ping 6 Sasih Kaulu nuju Beteng, the bull of caru ritual is decorated with white and yellow fabric. Then, right in the forehead of the bull is marked with swastika image by whiting.

Before the peak of the ritual takes place, the bull must be consecrated.

Likewise, the entire apparatus of customary youth club do worship.

“Before the peak of ritual, secretary of the customary youth club announces the rules of cutting down

the bull. If cutting down in front of meeting hall, they will be imposed with a fine of IDR 250,000, while at village area they are fined at IDR 150,000,” said the chief.

The cow is then paraded around the Patokan Temple in the form of small shrine in the area of Kanginan customary hamlet. The shrine symbolizes the lingam of Lord Shiva. “For the first cutting down is given the opportunity to the eldest of youth club to mark the cow,” said Wayan Segara, spiritual

section head of the Asak customary village.

After that, the cow was released out of the Patokan Temple. The whole apparatus of the customary youth club attempt to cut it down. In wounded and bleeding condition, the cow continues to be pursued around the village and cut together by using special knife of the customary youth. Blood sheds in the area of customary village are intended as a mark if the great pecaruan has been implemented.

When the cow dies, it is believed to bring in fertility and blessing. In this process, the customary youth club is prohibited from striking the tail and head of the cow. If the tail of the cow cuts off, it will be considered to have been faulty.

Any youth club members daring do it, they will be imposed to pay compensation for the cow.

This tradition is carried out to neutralize the bhuta kala or evil spirit in order to create a natural balance at Asak customary village

in particular and Bali in general.

Direction where the cow runs to even has its own significance.

When running eastward, it is a sign of fertility and prosperity.

When running southward, it is a sign of wisdom, eastward symbolizes a bright light avoiding them from all dangers and westward indicates a bad sign in the form of darkness. When the cow is running southward, local people hope their villages to be filled in with wisdom. (kmb)

Usaba Kaulu at Asak Customary Village

Dubbed by some as China’s answer to Florida’s Orlando - a global tourist magnet with its cluster of major theme parks - Hengqin has seen property prices more than double over the past two years. While still a dusty mass of construction sites, Hengqin now draws millions annually to its anchor attraction, the “Chimelong Ocean Kingdom” theme park, with a slew of hotel, malls and sprawling residential developments being built nearby.

Spanish soccer club, Real Madrid, announced last week they would open an interactive “virtual reality” complex in Hengqin, in partnership with Hong Kong-listed developer, Lai Sun Group .

The 12,000-square metre venue, set to open in 2021, will include virtual reality entertainment and a museum showcasing the club’s history.

The transformation of Hengqin, which is three times as large as Macau, is part of Beijing’s efforts to bolster links between Hong Kong, Macau and nine cities in the Pearl River Delta region, or so-called “Greater Bay Area”, modelled after other dynamic global bay areas such as Tokyo and San Francisco.

“Hengqin will be the Orlando of China.

Macau is Las Vegas (and) Hong Kong is New York,” said Larry Leung, an executive with Lai Sun that is helping build the Real Madrid complex at its “Novotown” project in Hengqin.

“Within an hour you can have them all.”

Novotown’s entertainment mix will also feature China’s first Lionsgate movie world with theme rides from blockbuster films such as the Hunger Games and Twilight, as well as a National Geographic educational center.

And high-end hotel chains and luxury yacht makers are building more hotels and a marina on Hengqin.

Geger Beach is one of the beaches located in Nusa Dua area. It is slightly hidden and away from the center of crowds so that people choose other beaches as their tourist destination. However, for those wishing to find a beach with quiet atmosphere, this beach is the most appropriate destination in Southern Badung.

In terms of location, Geger Beach in Nusa Dua is located in the area of ??Peminge customary village, Sawangan. To get to the Geger Beach, you can pass through Hotel Nikko located on the southern coast of the Island of Bali. You will find the location of the beach by crossing Jalan Pura Puget located right before Hotel Nikko Bali.

Geger Beach has white sand and remains very natural and untouched by nosy hands wishing to destroy the beauty of the beach. Clean white sand and calm seawater are perfect for those that like sunbathing with tranquil atmosphere. No wonder, many couples will be found on this beach spending their honeymoon. They usually sunbathe, bathe or just sit down by the beach.

Warm seawater throughout the day is also beneficial for those who like fishing. Usually in the afternoon, many surrounding people come to the location for fishing. Unfortunately, around the beach is rarely found any food and beverage merchants because

this beach is not as crowded as Kuta Beach. However, there is a cafe offering seafood, international cuisine and Italian specialties such as pizza, pasta and grilled food.

Some parts of this coastal area is managed by Hotel Nikko. The hotel offers camel ride packages, traveling along the beach at varying prices. So, you do not have to come all the way to Arab to enjoy a camel ride. This beach is very clean because it is managed by the hotel. Every day there will be a janitor cleaning up this beach.

The admission ticket to Geger Beach is very affordable. It is also equipped with parking lot of motorcycle and car for visitors. (kmb)

British police arrest second man over London train bomb LONDON - A second man has been arrested over Friday’s bomb attack on a London underground train that injured 30 people, police said on Sunday, as Britain remained on its highest level of alert with soldiers helping provide security.

The 21-year-old man was detained under Britain’s Terrorism Act in the west London suburb of Hounslow just before midnight on Saturday, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

Police arrested an 18-year-old man in the port of Dover earlier on Saturday and then raided a property in Sunbury, a town near London and about four miles (six km) from Hounslow.

The home-made bomb shot flames through a train carriage packed with commuters at west London’s Parsons Green Tube station but apparently failed to detonate fully.

Islamic State claimed responsibility as it has for other attacks in Britain this year, including two in

London and one at a concert by American singer Ariana Grande in Manchester in May. Intelligence officials say there is scant evidence the militant group was behind the attacks.

Prime Minister Theresa May put Britain on its highest security level of “critical” late on Friday, meaning another attack might be imminent. Soldiers and armed police were deployed to strategic locations such as nuclear power plants.

The first man arrested on Saturday was detained in the departure lounge of the port of Dover in what police said was a “very significant” step.

The last time Britain was put on “critical” alert was after a suicide bomber killed 22 people at the Ariana Grande concert.

On that occasion, the threat level remained at the highest setting for four days while police raced to establish if the bomber had worked alone or with the help of others. Prior to that it had not been triggered since 2007. (rtr)

From page 1

Similar condition also occurred at Duda village, especially the area of Bambang Biaung and Pegubugan. Amerta Bhuana village was also swept away by lava like Muntig hamlet, some parts of Abian Tihing and some parts Tegeh hamlet. Other areas such as Selat village were affected at Tengah hamlet, and so were the Peringsari village, Seledumi, Lusuh Kauh and Lusuh Kangin. Other than Selat subdistrict, Bebandem namely Yeh Kori hamlet, Sibetan is also said to be quite severe.

“The unaffected areas in Selat subdistrict are only Sukaluwih customary village (Amerta Bhuana

administrative village), Sebap village (Sebudi village), Adat village of Tegeh (Amerta Bhuana), Santi customary village (Selat village),” he said.

After 54 years, the severely affected areas are now enjoying the results. The entire areas of Selat subdistrict now becomes the center for quarrying activities in Bali.

Thousands of trucks every day pass to the location. Besides, the other severely affected areas in Kubu sub-district including Ban, Dukuh, Tulamben, Kubu, Baturinggit and Sukadana, now become the centers for quarrying activities. Except for Tulamben, it is better known for its diving tourism activities. Tulamben has proved to be one of the favorite tourist destinations in Karangasem, while Selat subdistrict, other than

becoming location of quarrying activities, this former lava flow has also become the location of snakefruit plantations such as Geriana Kauh and some parts of Geriana Kangin. There is also a residential community at Pegubugan area.

At that time, the lava flowed southeastward to Amlapura town, now it has become housing, for example in BTN Paya Amlapura. At the same track has also been built schools such as the SMPN 2 Amlapura junior high school and SMA PGRI 1 Amlapura high school.

Similarly, the Karangsokong area, Subagan, has now become a market, terminal, shops and mosque.

Downstream area of the lava flow in the southeast area like Jasri village has become a residential area and a row of shops. (kmb31)

Hurricane Irma, downgraded to a tropical storm on Monday, is shown over Florida, along with Hurricane Jose (R) making a looping path in the western Atlantic Ocean in this NASA GOES satellite image taken at 1600 EDT (2000 GMT) on September 11, 2017.

Hurricane Jose staying off U.S. East Coast as Storm Maria forms

NORTH CAROLINA - Hurricane Jose is expected to pass east of the North Carolina coast on Monday and remain off the U.S. East Coast from Virginia to New England, while Tropical Storm Maria formed and is forecast to become a hurricane early next week, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said on Saturday.

Maria could threaten several Caribbean islands, some of which were devastated by Hurricane Irma less than two weeks ago. It is expected to approach the Leeward Islands on Monday and become a hurricane around that time, the NHC said.

A hurricane watch is in effect for Antigua, Barbuda, St. Kitts, Nevis and Montserrat and France has also issued a hurricane watch for the island of Guadeloupe. A hurricane watch is typically issued 48 hours before the first occurrence of storm-force winds, NHC said.

Meanwhile, the NHC said the coastline from North Carolina to New England should monitor Hurricane Jose’s progress and forecast that tropical storm watches may be needed for portions of that stretch during the next day or two.

“However, an increase in the size of the storm or a westward adjustment in the track forecast could bring tropical storm conditions closer to the Outer Banks” of North Carolina, the forecast said.

As a large cyclone, Jose could also affect the Virginia-toNew England area, especially if it deviates from its forecast track, the NHC said.

At 5 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT), the NHC said Hurricane Jose was moving northward at 6 miles per hour (106 kph), with maximum sustained winds of 80 miles per hour (130 kph).

The NHC said it was generating swells affecting Bermuda, the Bahamas, the northern coasts of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, and much of the U.S. East Coast. It said these swells are likely to cause dangerous surf and life-threatening rip currents for several days in these areas.

The 2017 hurricane season in the Atlantic has been one of the most active in recent memory, generating the hugely powerful Irma that went on to lash Florida and Hurricane Harvey, which slammed into the Texas Gulf coast and caused deadly flooding in Houston. (rtr)

C Java enters drought emergency: governor

PEKALONGAN - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo stated that his region had been categorized in the drought disaster zone during this years dry season. “Almost 22 districts are now experiencing drought,” said Ganjar, after opening the exhibition Creativity and Innovation of Central Java, which is being held in the city of Pekalongan, Friday.

He noted that since June 2017, to overcome the problem of water shortage for the community, the provincial government had conducted coordination meetings with several related elements to discuss the drought.

At the coordination meeting, it has been decided in the short term to prepare the distribution of water

by channeling it through the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), the company and the local government, he revealed.

“Therefore, we have asked the public to report to the local government when the region is hit by drought,” he said. As for areas where it is difficult to do clean water distribution, Ganjar stressed that it would be done by digging deep wells and pumps piping engineering. He hoped that the regional head would participate, whether the village head or subdistrict head monitor, so that the drought can be reported immediately.

“Currently, many companies, both state-owned and local enterprises, and private companies are coming forward to help the Central Java Provincial Government through corporate social responsibility in overcoming drought in some areas,” he remarked. (rtr)

JAKARTA - The passenger train between the Jakarta city center and the International Airport of Soekarno-Hatta will start operate in November this year, Transport Minister Budi Karya Sumadi said here on Friday.

“Early next month the train will start trial operation and operation by the end of November,” Budi said.

Currently work in the project of airport train is already 80 percent completed, he said.

Earlier Edi Sukmoro, the Director of state run railway company PT Kereta Api Indonesia said the airport train is expected to be operational in November.

“Our hope is it would be operational in November but I said by the end of this year although we would

work hard that it could be operational as soon as possible,” Edi said.

Currently, there is only one train of six coaches already available from PT Industri Kereta Api (Inka), but next months 9 more trains would come from the state-owned railway factory.

A train has a carrying capacity of 274 passengers in one way. The 10 train would be able to carry 33,000 passengers per day.

The route between the Manggarai railway station and the countrys largest airport via Sudirman BaruDuri- and Batu Ceper could be covered in 54 minutes.

The railway transport will ease traffic jams in the roads between the city and the airport. (ant)

Golovkin draws with Alvarez in middleweight superfight

LAS VEGAS - Gennady Golovkin and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez fought to a controversial draw in their long-awaited middleweight world title bout in Las Vegas on Saturday.

GIANYAR - Goa Rang Reng translates to “multicoloured cave” and here at the confluence of Bangunlemah and Betiting Rivers (river confluences are considered sacred in Bali), an ancient cave mixes the waters spilling them in a wide and gentle cascade to become the Cangkir River.

From the carpark it’s an easy walk down a stepped jungle path where the track divides into three. Take the higher path to the right to reach the waterfall (marked by a sign), but for a more interesting trip it’s worth hiring the services of a local guide to explore the other paths. Much of this

neck of the woods is regarded as holy, and locals request you don’t venture alone without a guide (except to the waterfall) and it’s best to bring your own sarong and sash, although you may be able to borrow one from the ticket booth.

The trail to the left leads to Pura Taman Manik Mas, a small holy spring temple you wade across the river to reach. Bring a water bottle, the spring water is pure and sweet.

Local guides offer trekking in the hill above where you’ll find another ancient temple, several hectares of long pampas grass used in roofing, jungles and a river canyon. Treks

last about three hours and guides charge around 100,000 rupiah.

If you are curious, guides can take you to the holy cave. Don’t endeavour to go in alone and be mindful that it’s considered consecrated grounds and locals are rather guarded about allowing hordes of tourists to enter.

The path to the waterfall is steep, muddy and slippery. Bamboo platforms offer a good lookout point, and a small warung here sells snack and drinks. Climb down the muddy embankment to the river from where you can easily climb to the top of the waterfall with the

Surrounding rocks are mossy and slippery, so be cautious with your footing. Shallow pools form in a couple of spots, perfect for a cooling dip. Most visitors are local and swim in shorts and T-shirts, which would be more appropriate attire than swimwear.

Kazakh Golovkin and Mexican Alvarez each got the nod from one judge, while the third declared it a draw. Golovkin, who landed more punches overall, remains unbeaten over his career and retains his middleweight WBA, WBC, IBF and IBO belts.

Golovkin started cautiously but had the edge in the middle rounds as the fight heated up and started to live up to its hype, eventually turning into a brutal and memorable encounter.

Alvarez, urged by his corner that he needed something special in the final few rounds, finished with a flurry as the capacity crowd cheered him on at T-Mobile Arena.

All three judges gave the Mexican the last three rounds.

Golovkin landed more punches over the 12 rounds and was ahead 218 to 169 overall by an unofficial count. Both boxers said they were keen to fight again.

“Yes, of course, if the people want it,” said Alvarez, who thought he had won “seven or eight” rounds.

“Look at my belts. I’m still the champion,” he said. “Of course I want a rematch.”

While many experts gave Golovkin the edge, the scorecard

of the judge that awarded it to Alvarez 118-110 immediately raised eyebrows.

Another judge scored it 115-113 to Golovkin, while the third had it a 114-114 draw. The result was roundly booed.

The two best middleweights and two of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport offered contrasting styles.

Golovkin mostly occupied the centre of the ring, while Alvarez was more comfortable near the ropes, content for the most part to counterpunch.

California-based Golovkin, widely known by his nickname ‘Triple G’, had an edge in jabs, but neither fighter could deliver a knockout.

“I want big drama show. It’s not my fault,” said Golovkin.

The result leaves Golovkin with a 37-0-1 career record, while Alvarez is 49-1-2, his only loss coming against Floyd Mayweather in 2013.

The fight was two years in the making before the two camps agreed terms and though Golovkin came in as champion, he accepted a smaller guarantee, reportedly $3 million to Alvarez’s $5 million. (rtr)

SINGAPORE - Triple Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton says he is trying to go vegan out of concern for the planet, love of animals and his own health.

“It’s something I’ve kind of being going towards anyway. I stopped eating red meat two years ago,” the 32-year-old Mercedes driver told reporters ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix.

“This year I stopped eating chicken and then kind of went back to it and now I’ve stopped again. So I’ve generally been pescatarian really for the majority of the year and then I’m cutting fish.”

Hamilton, who has 4.8 million followers on Twitter, told fans on Snapchat earlier in the week that he was going to watch the Netflix documentary ‘What the Health’ and was “on a mission” to go vegan.

Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, or poultry and vegans also do not eat animal products such as eggs and dairy foods.

“I have actually eaten plant-based food for the last two days and it has been amazing. So far I don’t feel like I’m missing out,” said the Briton, who has won six of 13 races this season and claimed a record 69th pole

position.

“But I am at the race so I have chefs here. I don’t know how easy that’s going to be when I get home. That is going to be a real test.”

Hamilton, who is a regular at celebrity haunts across the Atlantic with friends from the fashion and music industries as well as the world of sport, said he knew many others who had made the same decision.

The Briton, whose private jet and luxury sportscars have featured prominently on his various social media feeds, spoke also of his concern about global warming and family history of health issues.

“I don’t want in 10 or 20 years to have diabetes or have heart issues which has been in my family, cancer which has also been in my family. I don’t want to catch any of that stuff,” he said.

“By letting people that are following me know, maybe I can encourage a couple of people to do the same thing.”

The feedback on his instagram page was divided, with plenty offering support and applauding his move but others expressing concern about how the diet could impact his athletic performance. (rtr)

Revitalised Burnley enjoy their away days again

Aguero hat-trick leads City rout of Watford

Sergio Aguero bagged a hat-trick as free-scoring Manchester City climbed to the top of the Premier League with an irresistible 6-0 victory over Watford on Saturday.

Neighbours United had won many of the plaudits for their impressive start to the season but at Vicarage Road Pep Guardiola’s side - led by the sublime quartet of Aguero, Gabriel Jesus, David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne - were rampant.

Aguero opened the scoring in the 27th minute, heading home De Bruyne’s superb free kick, and doubled the lead within four minutes when he converted Silva’s teasing cross from close range.

City were in exuberant mood and added a third before the break when the excellent Jesus latched on to Aguero’s cute pass to stroke the ball home. After Nicolas Otamendi headed in a fourth in the 63rd minute, Aguero completed his treble with a neat finish at the end of a sensational run.

Raheem Sterling added a sixth from the penalty spot after he was brought down by Christian Kabasele late on.

Guardiola initially signalled for Aguero to take the penalty but the Argentine selflessly allowed the England winger to complete a hugely impressive victory.

“It was so good, especially after an away game in the Champions League,” Guardiola said at the end of a week which also yielded 5-0 and 4-0 victories over Liverpool and Feyenoord. “The way we played as a team, we are so happy,” the Spaniard added.

“I was lucky to manage Barcelona with many outstanding performances but this week has been a lot of goals.

“We have found our game, we can make short passes and we have a lot of energy from our full backs.

The people who come from the bench always give us something new. Clean sheets are a consequence of you controlling the game.

“You have to be serious until the end, goal difference could be important but it is Aguero’s decision [to give the penalty to Sterling.]”

City have 13 points from five games - three more than rivals Manchester United who play Everton on Sunday. Watford, in 10th, have eight points after their first defeat of the season. (rtr)

Burnley’s main priority this season was to improve their away form after taking just seven points from a possible 57 on the road last term. But even manager Sean Dyche could not have expected such a dramatic turnaround with the first three trips yielding a win at Chelsea followed by draws at Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool.

The visitors could even have sneaked their first win at Anfield since 1974 had Ben Mee converted one of two headers from late corners.

Dyche said he was delighted with the point against a home side who peppered their goal with 35 shots on target.

“We know it’s tough coming to these places and we are willing to do the bits that are nitty gritty in the game,” said Dyche.

“Very few teams will come here and dominate, we knew we would have to do the basics. Now and again you need a bit of luck.

“We are still learning a little bit, me included, but I’m very pleased with today.”

Dyche credited his players with the astonishing turnaround in their away form, suggesting they were no longer overawed by coming to places like Anfield.

“The players who are develop-

ing with the club, every year you stay in the Premier League, it’s almost subliminal, you just feel more at ease and have more belief.

“There are challenges along the way, we’re not naive, we’ve had a healthy start and there’s work to be done, but there has been adjustments made. “There’s some tactical bits and bobs we’ve changed, the three in midfield, but that comes down to the players we’ve signed and what suits the group.”

Burnley’s surprise point came despite having to field a rookie goalkeeper following the recent injury to Tom Heaton who will be out for several months with a dislocated shoulder.

That meant a first Premier League start for Nick Pope, the 25-year-old former Charlton keeper who pulled off two impressive late saves including one from Dominic Solanke that drew praise from former Manchester United keeper Peter Schmeichel.

“I must say, I think a lot of the stuff was good basics, our defensive unit in front of him was excellent,” Dyche said.

“Then, when the moment of truth came, he delivered two fantastic saves. “We believe in the players we work with, and he’s another one like that.” (rtr)

Paulinho saves Barcelona against plucky Getafe MADRID - Barcelona snatched a late 2-1 win at Getafe with Paulinho’s strike sending them seven points clear of arch-rivals Real Madrid at the top of La Liga on Saturday. The Brazilian midfielder’s signing was widely criticised by supporters but he drove into the area and fired home to preserve Barcelona’s 100 percent record in the league.

Gaku Shibasaki scored a magnificent volley to put Getafe ahead

in the 39th minute but another substitute, Denis Suarez, equalised for Barcelona in the 62nd.

Ernesto Valverde’s side struggled to create many openings against a bold Getafe, who came close to opening the scoring when Gerard Pique nearly deflected Shibasaki’s cross into his own net, with Jorge Molina reaching it but firing into the side netting.

Barcelona were dealt a blow

when record signing Ousmane Dembele was forced off with a hamstring injury in the 29th minute, while his replacement Gerard Deulofeu had little impact.

Samuel Umtiti’s header straight at Vicente Guaita was as close as the Catalans came to netting in the first half, with the exception of a Lionel Messi free kick tipped over just before the break.

Suarez was introduced at half

MILAN - Inter Milan scored twice in the last 10 minutes to claim a fortuitous 2-0 win at lowly Crotone on Saturday and extend their perfect start to the Serie A season.

Milan Skriniar and Ivan Perisic were on target for Inter, who finished a modest seventh last season, as Luciano Spalletti’s side survived a difficult second half in torrid conditions to make it four wins out of four.

Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic made difficult saves from Aleksandar Tonev either side of halftime as Crotone, the only team still to score this season, threatened a repeat of last April’s shock 2-1 win.

But, after barely threatening in the second half,

Skriniar put Inter ahead in the 82nd minute, scoring at the third attempt after he miscued the first then had the second charged down before finally sticking the ball past Alex Cordaz.

Too add insult to injury for winless Crotone, Perisic grabbed a second for the visitors in stoppage time.

Inter moved three points clear at the top of the standings on 12 before Juventus and Napoli, the only other teams to have won their first three games, both play on Sunday.

Crotone, who pulled off one of the greatest escapes in Serie A history to avoid the drop last term, have one point and look to be in for another long, hard season. (rtr)

time, after captain Andres Iniesta had made little impact, and soon made his presence felt.

Receiving the ball from Sergi Roberto in the area, Suarez curled a neat finish past Guaita to level, against the run of play.

Paulinho came on in the 77th minute and seven minutes later he

slammed home to put Barcelona ahead and extend their lead at the top of the table.

Getafe almost equalised with Marc-Andre ter Stegen tipping Mauro Arambarri’s effort wide at the near post, but they were left without reward after an impressive display. (rtr)

Golovkin draws with Alvarez in middleweight superfight

LAS VEGAS - Gennady Golovkin and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez fought to a controversial draw in their long-awaited middleweight world title bout in Las Vegas on Saturday.

GIANYAR - Goa Rang Reng translates to “multicoloured cave” and here at the confluence of Bangunlemah and Betiting Rivers (river confluences are considered sacred in Bali), an ancient cave mixes the waters spilling them in a wide and gentle cascade to become the Cangkir River.

From the carpark it’s an easy walk down a stepped jungle path where the track divides into three. Take the higher path to the right to reach the waterfall (marked by a sign), but for a more interesting trip it’s worth hiring the services of a local guide to explore the other paths. Much of this

neck of the woods is regarded as holy, and locals request you don’t venture alone without a guide (except to the waterfall) and it’s best to bring your own sarong and sash, although you may be able to borrow one from the ticket booth.

The trail to the left leads to Pura Taman Manik Mas, a small holy spring temple you wade across the river to reach. Bring a water bottle, the spring water is pure and sweet.

Local guides offer trekking in the hill above where you’ll find another ancient temple, several hectares of long pampas grass used in roofing, jungles and a river canyon. Treks

last about three hours and guides charge around 100,000 rupiah.

If you are curious, guides can take you to the holy cave. Don’t endeavour to go in alone and be mindful that it’s considered consecrated grounds and locals are rather guarded about allowing hordes of tourists to enter.

The path to the waterfall is steep, muddy and slippery. Bamboo platforms offer a good lookout point, and a small warung here sells snack and drinks. Climb down the muddy embankment to the river from where you can easily climb to the top of the waterfall with the

help of a rope and peer into the holy cave. The appealing falls are not high and are more like a web of steep rapids than a single torrent.

Surrounding rocks are mossy and slippery, so be cautious with your footing. Shallow pools form in a couple of spots, perfect for a cooling dip. Most visitors are local and swim in shorts and T-shirts, which would be more appropriate attire than swimwear.

We think Goa Rang Reng is a lovely relaxing spot, the peaceful natural surrounds make it an ideal escape from busy traffic-clogged Ubud. Local guide Nyoman Jaya

Kazakh Golovkin and Mexican Alvarez each got the nod from one judge, while the third declared it a draw. Golovkin, who landed more punches overall, remains unbeaten over his career and retains his middleweight WBA, WBC, IBF and IBO belts.

Golovkin started cautiously but had the edge in the middle rounds as the fight heated up and started to live up to its hype, eventually turning into a brutal and memorable encounter.

Alvarez, urged by his corner that he needed something special in the final few rounds, finished with a flurry as the capacity crowd cheered him on at T-Mobile Arena.

All three judges gave the Mexican the last three rounds.

Golovkin landed more punches over the 12 rounds and was ahead 218 to 169 overall by an unofficial count. Both boxers said they were keen to fight again.

“Yes, of course, if the people want it,” said Alvarez, who thought he had won “seven or eight” rounds.

“Look at my belts. I’m still the champion,” he said. “Of course I want a rematch.”

While many experts gave Golovkin the edge, the scorecard

of the judge that awarded it to Alvarez 118-110 immediately raised eyebrows.

Another judge scored it 115-113 to Golovkin, while the third had it a 114-114 draw. The result was roundly booed.

The two best middleweights and two of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport offered contrasting styles.

Golovkin mostly occupied the centre of the ring, while Alvarez was more comfortable near the ropes, content for the most part to counterpunch.

California-based Golovkin, widely known by his nickname ‘Triple G’, had an edge in jabs, but neither fighter could deliver a knockout.

“I want big drama show. It’s not my fault,” said Golovkin.

The result leaves Golovkin with a 37-0-1 career record, while Alvarez is 49-1-2, his only loss coming against Floyd Mayweather in 2013.

The fight was two years in the making before the two camps agreed terms and though Golovkin came in as champion, he accepted a smaller guarantee, reportedly $3 million to Alvarez’s $5 million. (rtr)

British police arrest second man over London train bomb LONDON - A second man has been arrested over Friday’s bomb attack on a London underground train that injured 30 people, police said on Sunday, as Britain remained on its highest level of alert with soldiers helping provide security.

The 21-year-old man was detained under Britain’s Terrorism Act in the west London suburb of Hounslow just before midnight on Saturday, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

Police arrested an 18-year-old man in the port of Dover earlier on Saturday and then raided a property in Sunbury, a town near London and about four miles (six km) from Hounslow.

The home-made bomb shot flames through a train carriage packed with commuters at west London’s Parsons Green Tube station but apparently failed to detonate fully.

Islamic State claimed responsibility as it has for other attacks in Britain this year, including two in

London and one at a concert by American singer Ariana Grande in Manchester in May. Intelligence officials say there is scant evidence the militant group was behind the attacks.

Prime Minister Theresa May put Britain on its highest security level of “critical” late on Friday, meaning another attack might be imminent. Soldiers and armed police were deployed to strategic locations such as nuclear power plants.

The first man arrested on Saturday was detained in the departure lounge of the port of Dover in what police said was a “very significant” step.

The last time Britain was put on “critical” alert was after a suicide bomber killed 22 people at the Ariana Grande concert.

On that occasion, the threat level remained at the highest setting for four days while police raced to establish if the bomber had worked alone or with the help of others. Prior to that it had not been triggered since 2007. (rtr)

Other areas such as Selat village were affected at Tengah hamlet, and so were the Peringsari village, Seledumi, Lusuh Kauh and Lusuh Kangin. Other than Selat subdistrict, Bebandem namely Yeh Kori hamlet, Sibetan is also said to be quite severe.

“The unaffected areas in Selat subdistrict are only Sukaluwih customary village (Amerta Bhuana

administrative village), Sebap village (Sebudi village), Adat village of Tegeh (Amerta Bhuana), Santi customary village (Selat village),” he said.

After 54 years, the severely affected areas are now enjoying the results. The entire areas of Selat subdistrict now becomes the center for quarrying activities in Bali.

Thousands of trucks every day pass to the location. Besides, the other severely affected areas in Kubu sub-district including Ban, Dukuh, Tulamben, Kubu, Baturinggit and Sukadana, now become the centers for quarrying activities. Except for Tulamben, it is better known for its diving tourism activities. Tulamben has proved to be one of the favorite tourist destinations in Karangasem, while Selat subdistrict, other than

becoming location of quarrying activities, this former lava flow has also become the location of snakefruit plantations such as Geriana Kauh and some parts of Geriana Kangin. There is also a residential community at Pegubugan area.

At that time, the lava flowed southeastward to Amlapura town, now it has become housing, for example in BTN Paya Amlapura. At the same track has also been built schools such as the SMPN 2 Amlapura junior high school and SMA PGRI 1 Amlapura high school.

Similarly, the Karangsokong area, Subagan, has now become a market, terminal, shops and mosque.

Downstream area of the lava flow in the southeast area like Jasri village has become a residential area and a row of shops. (kmb31)

Hurricane Irma, downgraded to a tropical storm on Monday, is shown over Florida, along with Hurricane Jose (R) making a looping path in the western Atlantic Ocean in this NASA GOES satellite image taken at 1600 EDT (2000 GMT) on September 11, 2017.

Hurricane Jose staying off U.S. East Coast as Storm Maria forms

NORTH CAROLINA - Hurricane Jose is expected to pass east of the North Carolina coast on Monday and remain off the U.S. East Coast from Virginia to New England, while Tropical Storm Maria formed and is forecast to become a hurricane early next week, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said on Saturday.

Maria could threaten several Caribbean islands, some of which were devastated by Hurricane Irma less than two weeks ago. It is expected to approach the Leeward Islands on Monday and become a hurricane around that time, the NHC said.

A hurricane watch is in effect for Antigua, Barbuda, St. Kitts, Nevis and Montserrat and France has also issued a hurricane watch for the island of Guadeloupe. A hurricane watch is typically issued 48 hours before the first occurrence of storm-force winds, NHC said.

Meanwhile, the NHC said the coastline from North Carolina to New England should monitor Hurricane Jose’s progress and forecast that tropical storm watches may be needed for portions of that stretch during the next day or two.

“However, an increase in the size of the storm or a westward adjustment in the track forecast could bring tropical storm conditions closer to the Outer Banks” of North Carolina, the forecast said.

As a large cyclone, Jose could also affect the Virginia-toNew England area, especially if it deviates from its forecast track, the NHC said.

At 5 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT), the NHC said Hurricane Jose was moving northward at 6 miles per hour (106 kph), with maximum sustained winds of 80 miles per hour (130 kph).

The NHC said it was generating swells affecting Bermuda, the Bahamas, the northern coasts of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, and much of the U.S. East Coast. It said these swells are likely to cause dangerous surf and life-threatening rip currents for several days in these areas.

The 2017 hurricane season in the Atlantic has been one of the most active in recent memory, generating the hugely powerful Irma that went on to lash Florida and Hurricane Harvey, which slammed into the Texas Gulf coast and caused deadly flooding in Houston. (rtr)

C Java enters drought emergency: governor

PEKALONGAN - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo stated that his region had been categorized in the drought disaster zone during this years dry season. “Almost 22 districts are now experiencing drought,” said Ganjar, after opening the exhibition Creativity and Innovation of Central Java, which is being held in the city of Pekalongan, Friday.

He noted that since June 2017, to overcome the problem of water shortage for the community, the provincial government had conducted coordination meetings with several related elements to discuss the drought.

At the coordination meeting, it has been decided in the short term to prepare the distribution of water

by channeling it through the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), the company and the local government, he revealed.

“Therefore, we have asked the public to report to the local government when the region is hit by drought,” he said. As for areas where it is difficult to do clean water distribution, Ganjar stressed that it would be done by digging deep wells and pumps piping engineering. He hoped that the regional head would participate, whether the village head or subdistrict head monitor, so that the drought can be reported immediately.

“Currently, many companies, both state-owned and local enterprises, and private companies are coming forward to help the Central Java Provincial Government through corporate social responsibility in overcoming drought in some areas,” he remarked. (rtr)

JAKARTA - The passenger train between the Jakarta city center and the International Airport of Soekarno-Hatta will start operate in November this year, Transport Minister Budi Karya Sumadi said here on Friday.

“Early next month the train will start trial operation and operation by the end of November,” Budi said.

Currently work in the project of airport train is already 80 percent completed, he said.

Earlier Edi Sukmoro, the Director of state run railway company PT Kereta Api Indonesia said the airport train is expected to be operational in November.

“Our hope is it would be operational in November but I said by the end of this year although we would

work hard that it could be operational as soon as possible,” Edi said.

Currently, there is only one train of six coaches already available from PT Industri Kereta Api (Inka), but next months 9 more trains would come from the state-owned railway factory.

A train has a carrying capacity of 274 passengers in one way. The 10 train would be able to carry 33,000 passengers per day.

The route between the Manggarai railway station and the countrys largest airport via Sudirman BaruDuri- and Batu Ceper could be covered in 54 minutes.

The railway transport will ease traffic jams in the roads between the city and the airport. (ant)

Real Madrid adds lustre to China’s wannabe “Orlando” tourist hub

HENGQIN - Just a stone’s throw across a narrow waterway from the world’s largest gambling hub Macau, a former oyster farming island is being transformed into China’s newest tourism haven.

A layout of Hengqin Island under development is displayed inside a Government showroom at Hengqin Island adjacent to Macau, China September 13, 2017. Picture taken September 13, 2017.

EXPANDING MACAU Chinese officials see Hengqin helping Macau diversify away from casinos to a more wholesome tourism industry. More than 80 percent of Macau’s public revenues come from the gambling sector.

Businesses in Macau have been encouraged to invest in Hengqin with the government providing cheaper rent and tax subsidies. Galaxy Entertainment, Shun Tak and Macau Legend have also earmarked developments for Hengqin.

Realtors expect property prices to keep rising once a sea bridge linking Hong Kong, and a high speed rail station are completed.

Hoffman Ma, deputy chairman of Success Universe Group, which operates the Ponte 16 casino in Macau, said Hengqin could take some convention and exhibition business away from the former Portuguese colony. “It doesn’t make sense for Macau to do that, due to a consistent labour shortage,” he said.

Wang Lian, from Wuhan in central China,

brought his daughter to watch whale sharks and polar bears at Chimelong Ocean Kingdom recently. Industry reports show 8.5 million people visited China’s top theme park last year, more than Hong Kong Disneyland’s 6.1 million, and almost a third of the 28 million people who visited Macau last year.

“China’s population is so big they need something like this nearby ... its (Hengqin’s) economic ties will also help Macau develop,” Wang said.(rtr)

delaying decisions after the Supreme Court nullified the results of an Aug. 8 presidential election citing irregularities in the tallying process.

A repeat poll pitting President Uhuru Kenyatta against opposition leader Raila Odinga is scheduled for Oct. 17. Odinga says he will not participate unless demands are met, including the resignation of some staff from the electoral board.

Kenya has the highest per capita income in the region and is known for its capitalist tradition, stability

and role as a Western ally. It hosts the regional headquarters of several global firms.

The government had initially projected a 5.9 percent growth for this year but the economy expanded 4.7 percent in the first quarter, mainly due to poor agricultural performance. Thugge said growth would rise to 6.5 percent per year in the medium term.

“This is contingent on having good weather,” he told a meeting convened to discuss budget prepa-

rations.

The government’s revenue collection for the fiscal year starting July was behind target by 29 billion shillings ($282 million), he said.

The revenue target is 1,549.4 billion shillings for the fiscal year.

“There is a shortfall in customs.

There may be people waiting before they import things,” he told Reuters on the sidelines of the meeting.

Adding to the squeeze, the electoral board has requested 12 billion shillings for the presidential re-run.

“That is only the direct cost.

There is the need to provide for security and so those costs could be much higher than the 12 billion. This was not budgeted for,” Thugge said, adding they will cut non-essential expenditure to fund the poll.

Government officials will no longer be allowed to travel outside the country without clearance from the president and domestic travel will also be reviewed, he said.(rtr)

CUSTOMARY village of Asak, Pertima, Karangasem, is one of the ancient villages in Karangasem. Customs and traditions carried out through generations at this village are well maintained and preserved. For instance, on the Usaba Kaulu, Thursday (Jan. 14), the local customary youth club held a pecaruan agung or animal sacrifice by using a cow. This ritual took place tensely because after being given ritual the cow is released and then pursued by all the apparatuses of customary youth club.

Chief of Asak customary village, Jero Dukuh Ketut Suta, delivered that the ritual is purely performed by local customary youth club. The preparation has been made since two weeks before the main event where they prepared the means of caru in the form of a bull. It was handed over to the secretary of customary youth club and placed in the area of the Patokan Truna and bathed every day at the Beji Yeh Inem spring.

Every night, the bull is guarded by its apparatuses.

When arriving at the peak of ritual on penanggal ping 6 Sasih Kaulu nuju Beteng, the bull of caru ritual is decorated with white and yellow fabric. Then, right in the forehead of the bull is marked with swastika image by whiting.

Before the peak of the ritual takes place, the bull must be consecrated.

Likewise, the entire apparatus of customary youth club do worship.

“Before the peak of ritual, secretary of the customary youth club announces the rules of cutting down

the bull. If cutting down in front of meeting hall, they will be imposed with a fine of IDR 250,000, while at village area they are fined at IDR 150,000,” said the chief.

The cow is then paraded around the Patokan Temple in the form of small shrine in the area of Kanginan customary hamlet. The shrine symbolizes the lingam of Lord Shiva. “For the first cutting down is given the opportunity to the eldest of youth club to mark the cow,” said Wayan Segara, spiritual

section head of the Asak customary village.

After that, the cow was released out of the Patokan Temple. The whole apparatus of the customary youth club attempt to cut it down. In wounded and bleeding condition, the cow continues to be pursued around the village and cut together by using special knife of the customary youth. Blood sheds in the area of customary village are intended as a mark if the great pecaruan has been implemented.

When the cow dies, it is believed to bring in fertility and blessing. In this process, the customary youth club is prohibited from striking the tail and head of the cow. If the tail of the cow cuts off, it will be considered to have been faulty.

Any youth club members daring do it, they will be imposed to pay compensation for the cow.

This tradition is carried out to neutralize the bhuta kala or evil spirit in order to create a natural balance at Asak customary village

in particular and Bali in general.

Direction where the cow runs to even has its own significance.

When running eastward, it is a sign of fertility and prosperity.

When running southward, it is a sign of wisdom, eastward symbolizes a bright light avoiding them from all dangers and westward indicates a bad sign in the form of darkness. When the cow is running southward, local people hope their villages to be filled in with wisdom. (kmb)

Dubbed by some as China’s answer to Florida’s Orlando - a global tourist magnet with its cluster of major theme parks - Hengqin has seen property prices more than double over the past two years. While still a dusty mass of construction sites, Hengqin now draws millions annually to its anchor attraction, the “Chimelong Ocean Kingdom” theme park, with a slew of hotel, malls and sprawling residential developments being built nearby.

Spanish soccer club, Real Madrid, announced last week they would open an interactive “virtual reality” complex in Hengqin, in partnership with Hong Kong-listed developer, Lai Sun Group .

The 12,000-square metre venue, set to open in 2021, will include virtual reality entertainment and a museum showcasing the club’s history.

The transformation of Hengqin, which is three times as large as Macau, is part of Beijing’s efforts to bolster links between Hong Kong, Macau and nine cities in the Pearl River Delta region, or so-called “Greater Bay Area”, modelled after other dynamic global bay areas such as Tokyo and San Francisco.

“Hengqin will be the Orlando of China.

Macau is Las Vegas (and) Hong Kong is New York,” said Larry Leung, an executive with Lai Sun that is helping build the Real Madrid complex at its “Novotown” project in Hengqin.

“Within an hour you can have them all.”

Novotown’s entertainment mix will also feature China’s first Lionsgate movie world with theme rides from blockbuster films such as the Hunger Games and Twilight, as well as a National Geographic educational center.

And high-end hotel chains and luxury yacht makers are building more hotels and a marina on Hengqin.

Water pollution in Lake Batur has been alarming for some years.

Clear regulations are needed regarding Lake Batur

BANGLI — Water pollution in Lake Batur has been alarming for some years. The use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides on the farmlands around the lake and floating fish cages (KJA) are key contributing factors to this pollution. How the lake is handled and how activities around the lake are arranged clearly need to be regulated.

Regent of Bangli, I Made Gianyar, recently said that the development of fisheries activities on the Lake is growing rapidly and becoming increasingly complex.

The development of agriculture and fisheries strongly support the economic empowerment of people around the lake. Therefore, the conservation of biodiversity needs to be balanced with the development of tourism and other sectors.

Lake Batur as the main source of water for biological and non biological activities has been neither adequately organized nor inventoried. There need to be regulations, said Gianyar, regarding the use of floating nets for example. Different needs must be accommodated in an integrated, efficient, effective and comprehensive manner, he added.

“We invite Udayana University’s Faculty of Marine and Fisheries, to study the supporting capacity of the lake and asses the appropriate zoning for floating net (KJA) in Lake Batur.

The handling and arrangement of floating nets in Lake Batur requires a clear regulation. We hope the study on the carrying capacity and zoning of floating nets can lead to a strategic policy and a suitable fishery aquaculture development program on and around Lake Batur. The basis of the management of Lake Batur must

be determined by the lake’s spatial ecosystem and integrated ecosystems including the lake, lakeshore and the water catchment area”, said Regent Gianyar during a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) held at the Museum of Batur Volcano, Kintamani, on Wednesday (Sep. 13).

Head of the Bangli Agriculture, Food Security and Fishery Agency (PKP), I Wayan Sukartana, explained that the fisheries commodity wi the greatest market potential that can be developed on Lake Batur using the floating net system is Tilapia. According to Sukartana, the newly utilized land area reaches an average of 0.8 hectare per year from the total amount of potential land that could be developed ( 5 percent of the Lake Batur area reaching IDR 83.35).

The annual average of fish production reaches 3,862 tons for cultivated fishery products, while fish catches reaches an average of 843.45 tons. “Fish cultivation is scattered in several villages namely; Songan A, Songan B, Central Batur, South Batur, Kedisan, Buahan, Abang Batu Dinding, Abang Songan and Trunyan with a total of 180 fish farmer groups”, said Sukartana.

Meanwhile, head of the study team from the Faculty of Ma-

rine and Fisheries, Prof. I Wayan Arthana, PhD, said that Lake Batur has suffered severe damage that has caused pollution and sedimentation.

This damage, he said was caused by agricultural waste, livestock waste, human settlement, forest fires, sulfur bursts, erosion and floating fish nets. Lake Batur also faces the problem of the absence of sewage treatment for water dumped into the lake, large fluctuations in the lake’s water levels and many large piles of garbage around the lake.

Prof. Arthana added that the study aims to determine the most suitable layout of zoning for floating nets, the determination of the maximum number of floating nets allowed in Lake Batur, the determination of points or areas of the sulfur bursts along with the direction of the sulfur’s movement in the lade and create a model design for floating nets that would be worth developing in Lake Batur.

“To achieve the ecological sustainability of Lake Batur, there needs to be clear regulations that take into consideration the economic interests of the community around the lake as well as the role of the community and the government in maintaining and persevering Lake Batur’s ecosystem. (kmb41)

A Rohingya refugee girl collects rain water at a makeshift camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, September 17, 2017.

Aid group warns of death among Rohingya in Bangladesh

TOKYO - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is considering calling a snap election as early as next month to take advantage of an uptick in approval ratings and disarray in the main opposition party, domestic media reported on Sunday.

Abe’s ratings have recovered to the 50 percent level in some polls, helped by public jitters over North Korea’s missile and nuclear tests and chaos in the opposition Democratic Party, struggling with singledigit support and defections.

Abe told the head of his Liberal Democratic Party’s junior coalition partner, the Komeito party, that he could not rule out dissolving parliament’s lower house for a snap poll after the legislature convenes for an extra session from Sept. 28, public broadcaster NHK reported, citing unidentified informed sources.

“Until now, it appeared the election would be next autumn, but ... we must always be ready for battle,” media quoted Komeito party chief Natsuo Yamaguchi as telling reporters on Saturday during a visit to Russia.

Speculation has mounted over a snap election on Oct. 22, when three by-elections are scheduled, although other possibilities are later in October or after U.S. President Donald Trump makes a likely visit in early November, media said.

Abe’s ratings had sunk below 30 percent in some surveys in July, battered by suspected cronyism scandals and a perception that he had grown arrogant after more than four years in office.

His popularity rebounded a bit after an early August cabinet reshuffle and has since been helped by worries over a volatile North Korea, which on Friday fired a ballistic missile over Japan, its second such move in less than a month.

“If we have a snap election now, we need to explain it to the public, including how we will cope with the threat from North Korea,” said Koichi Hagiuda, a senior LDP executive, according to NHK. As Japan faces its first impending major security crisis since World War II, it is vital to secure public understanding, he said.

No general election need be held until late 2018, and calling a snap poll could spark criticism that he was creating a political vacuum amid rising regional security tensions.

But an early vote would not only take advantage of Democratic Party disarray but also dilute a challenge from an embryonic party that allies of popular Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike, an ex-LDP lawmaker, are trying to form.

Abe’s coalition would likely lose its two-thirds “super” majority” in the lower house, but keep a simple majority, political sources have said.

Loss of the two-thirds grip would dim prospects Abe can achieve his controversial goal of revising Japan’s pacifist constitution to clarify the military’s role.

Any constitutional amendment requires approval by two-thirds of both chambers and a majority in a public referendum. (rtr)

COX’S BAZAR - Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh could die due to a lack of food, shelter and water, given the huge numbers fleeing violence in Myanmar, an aid agency warned on Sunday, as authorities began moving people to camps to streamline the distribution of help.

Nearly 410,000 members of the Rohingya Muslim minority fled from Myanmar’s western Rakhine state to Bangladesh to escape a military offensive that the United Nations has branded a “textbook example of ethnic cleansing”.

“Many people are arriving hungry, exhausted and with no food or water,” Mark Pierce, Bangladesh country director for the Save the Children aid agency said in a statement.

“I’m particularly worried that the demand for food, shelter, water and basic hygiene support is not being met due to the sheer number of people in need. If families can’t meet their basic needs, the suffering will get even worse and lives could be lost.”

Bangladesh has for decades

faced influxes of Rohingya fleeing persecution in Buddhist-majority Myanmar, where the Rohingya are regarded as illegal migrants.

Bangladesh was already home to 400,000 Rohingya before the latest crisis erupted on Aug. 25, when Rohingya insurgents attacked police posts and an army camp in the western state of Rakhine, killing a dozen people.

Pierce said the humanitarian response needed to be rapidly scaled up.

“That can only be done if the international community steps up funding,” he said.

Rights monitors and fleeing Rohingya say Myanmar security forces and Rakhine Buddhist vigilantes responded to the Aug. 25 insurgent attacks with what

they say is a campaign of violence and arson aimed at driving out the Muslim population.

Myanmar rejects that, saying its security forces are carrying out clearance operations against the insurgents of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army, which claimed responsibility for the August attacks and similar, smaller, raids in October.

The Myanmar government has declared the group a terrorist organisation and accused it of setting the fires and attacking civilians.

Bangladesh border guards said the flow of refugees leaving Myanmar had eased off over the past day, apparently because bad weather had discouraged people from taking to boats to reach Bangladesh. (rtr)

Poseidon’s Parade Celebrates End of Summer in Rockaway Beach NEW YORK - A colorful parade marking the end of summer made its way down the Rockaway Beach Boardwalk on Saturday.

NY1’s Clodagh McGowan filed the following report.

Mythical sea creatures came to life at the second annual Posei-

don’s Parade in Rockaway Beach on Saturday.

“It’s a time when the neighborhood can get together and celebrate one last hoorah of summer,” said one costumed participant.

Creativity was on full display, with nautical floats and

costumed characters taking over the boardwalk. Some costumes were more realistic, while others chose whimsical disguises.

Hundreds of mermaids made an appearance; some danced and others traded their flippers for roller skates.

“The costumes, you could see they put so much effort in it. It’s fantastic,” said one parade goer.

‘Poseidon’ himself made an appearance at the parade.

“I decided to make it pop and go very royal, very regal. With the purple and then why not show some love, some pride, some every color in the rainbow,” said Vincent Bonanno, the Poseidon’s Parade Prom King.

Parade founder, Casey Brouder said she was inspired to start the celebration after participating in Coney Island’s mermaid parade.

She added that this year’s parade was extra special because, for the first time since Hurricane Sandy hit, the entire boardwalk is complete.

“It took a long time to get the boardwalk back. And now we can celebrate it, and create a new tradition that we can do for years to come,” said Brouder.

Brouder said the parade is not meant to compete with the Coney Island parade but compliment it. Her Frida Kahlo inspired mermaid costume reflected that.

“I thought a lot about the autumnal equinox coming up and how Coney Island opens with

the solstice in the summer and I wanted to kind of pay tribute to moving into the fall and say

goodbye to the beautiful beach and the beautiful weather,” said Brouder. (IBP/net)

“The result of our investigation with the BNI, ATM at the scene of the crime resulted in finding several ‘”skimmers”, said Kompol Wisnawa.

The Cyber ??Unit Team conducts weekly surveillance and found that there were two foreigners who are often in and out of ATMs acting suspiciously. On Saturday, when the perpetrator entered the ATM machine, the officer immediately arrested the perpetrators and secured the evidence.

In order not to become a victim of data syndicate bank customers, Kompol Wisnawa is appealing to bank customers to be careful when inputting their PIN because sometimes hidden cameras have been installed by criminals. Avoid using ATMs in dimly lit or isolated areas as this makes it easier for offenders to install skimming devices. Check your account balance regularly, if there is any strange activity this should be immediately report to the bank. Do not use ATMS too often as this makes you more vulnerable to having account hacked. Register every transaction in your bank using two types of authentication.

“Adhere to these tips so as not to be a victim of skimming crime”, said the former Kapolsek Sukawati, Gianyar. (kmb36)

Due to budget constraint

Cervical cancer vaccine unable to be provincial program DENPASAR - Bali provincial government should take the moment of school student immunization month (BIAS) in August to provide cervical cancer vaccination in young women of Bali following the vaccination pilot project in Greater Jakarta conducted by ministry of health.

“This is an opportunity for Bali provincial government because Jogjakarta already done it,” said Dr. I Nyoman Budiana, on Thursday (Sep. 9). He confirmed that the vaccine can be obtained from the ministry of health so that the budget used comes from the state budget.

The vaccination is given to fifth and sixth grade students for twice injections. Theoretically, the twice vaccine administrations in children under 14 years have the same effectiveness as three times administration in adulthood. “So, twice administrations in children under 14 years can save costs,” he said.

Head of the Bali Health Agency, Ketut Suarjaya, said that his agency follows the national program. All this time, some districts have been pro active in prevention efforts.

Denpasar, for instance, has provided vaccination for junior high school students since 2014. Badung already provided it for free last year, while Gianyar started to implement the vaccination program.

“It is not a national vaccination program. Bali is still waiting because Bali has not been elected as it is usually determined by central government. We have not

DENPASAR - Until Saturday, the activities of Mount Agung were still at the second or alert level. This is in accordance with the observation of ministry of energy and mineral resources, geological agency, Mount Agung center for volcanology and geological hazard mitigation post until 18:00. Communities around the Mount Agung, including climbers, visitors and tourists are still urged not to approach the crater within

been informed by central government to be a pilot project area,” he explained.

Basically, the effectiveness of cervical cancer vaccination is high and due to expensive price of this vaccine the central government has not made this vaccination program into a national policy. Seeing the budget constraints, up to these days Bali provincial government has not

yet made a vaccination program for cervical cancer.

Therefore, his agency encouraged the district / municipal government to conduct cervical cancer vaccination program. “Indeed, the districts having high budget have already done it, while for the other districts we will see later on the availability of local budget. If the district cannot allocate the budget, it may be allocated by the province,” he said.

Due to expensive price of the vaccine, the province is still intensifying the IVA program targeting women aged 30-50 years. (kmb42)

As transparency of employers’ contribution

Kuta customary village introduces Kuta Sayaga System MANGUPURA - So far, the responsibility for contribution of the entrepreneurs or corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Kuta remains less transparent. On that account, as a new form of innovation, a public answer as well as a measure of transparency towards the contribution of the entrepreneurs, the Kuta customary village introduced the Kuta Sayaga system, on Friday (Sep. 15).

According to Chief of Kuta customary village, Wayan Swarsa, this system is an online servicebased system. He said that internally all the village staff in charge of financial management of Kuta customary village will work with online applications. In addition, this application is also for the needs of entrepreneurs as a public accountability so the entrepreneurs can see whether their contribution has been received properly.

Thus, all the entrepreneurs mentioned in the database can open and see their payment history so far any time. In addition, the entrepreneurs can also print a receipt of payment from the system itself. “This is a form of transparency and public accountability because the participation in the form of contribution or service fund becomes the main basis for us to build trinity temple at local village properly,” he said.

Currently, he said there have been 5,200 entrepreneurs recorded in the database. However, approximately 3,000 others have not been entered as active participants in the system. Related to the unlicensed businessman, he affirmed the commitment that Kuta custom-

a radius of 3 km or at elevations of 1,500 meters above sea level.

Chief Executive of Bali Regional Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD), Dewa Made Indra, said that Mount Agung does have the potential for eruption like other volcanoes. It is also evident from the increased activity of this highest mountain in Bali stated to be in alert level. However, there is no sudden volcanic eruption. Everything passes through a process

that can be observed, so there is an early warning for volcanic eruptions.

“Level 1 means normal, level 2--alert, level 3--stand-by and level 4—careful. Why are there such levels? Because they can be predicted, unlike the sudden earthquake,” he explained.

Dewa Indra added that Mount Agung already has a mapping of disaster prone area (KRB), starting from KRB 1 for the farthest radius

up to KRB 3 for the nearest radius.

As prediction, the eruptions may lead northward, southward and southeastward. But for now, there are no indications if the mountain discharges dust or volcanic ash. Nevertheless, his agency has contacted the health agency and Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) office throughout Bali to start preparing masks.

“If later on volcanic activities of Mount Agung increase to discharge dust or ash and it spreads

ary village will not accept any contributions from the unlicensed entrepreneurs because it is risky against incorrect things. “In the trinity temples, not all money is acceptable because it will be used to build the human resources as well as physical development in the trinity temple,” he added.

In the future, he claimed to be patenting the system. Later on, he disclosed there are three technology-based systems that will be patented. They are the application of Kuta Sayaga, the management of Sintaku Pantai Kuta used to arrange all merchants on the Kuta Beach.

Another application is the Simdaku Krama Tamyu to record population.

“The three applications will be used as an application to be distributed throughout customary villages in Bali,” he explained.

In the meantime, Acting Head of Kuta Subdistrict Head, I Made Widiana, appreciated the breakthrough taken by Kuta customary village. Amid the advent of information technology, Kuta customary village did not want to miss in order to manage the existing potential at local village. “This application is the village’s responsibility to the entrepreneurs for their contribution. It does not need to doubt the accountability and transparency,” he said.

He said that contribution of entrepreneurs as a small part of CSR has been elaborated in the village perarem (customary law’s appendix). Because this is a village decision, this also becomes a community’s commitment in the Kuta customary village as set forth in perarem. (kmb23)

“The Wolf of Wall Street” producer settles US suit linked to Malaysian fund

‘The Simpsons’ actress finds her own voice ‘In Search for Fellini’

LOS ANGELES - For most fans of “The Simpsons,” the name Nancy Cartwright may ring a bell as the voice of 10-year-old troublemaker Bart Simpson over 28 seasons of the Fox animated show.

Now, the actress is hoping to establish her own voice by documenting a surreal adventure, “In Search of Fellini.”

Cartwright, 59, co-wrote the new film, out in U.S. theaters this weekend, a mostly autobiographical tale of how her obsession with filmmaker Federico Fellini led to her own impromptu solo Italian adventure to find the elusive director.

“All the writers on ‘The Simpsons,’ they’ve created this legacy ... and to be a part of that has been such a privilege,” Cartwright told Reuters.

“For me personally, I would like to be able to, as an artist, establish my own voice.”

“In Search of Fellini” follows Lucy, a young, naive girl living a sheltered life with her mother in a small Midwestern American town until she undergoes a spiritual awakening watching Fellini’s 1954’s “La Strada” and goes to Italy.

The film traces Lucy’s journey through idyllic highs, such as falling in love, and crippling lows, such as an encounter with an older, male stranger that quickly goes wrong quickly - a scenario that Cartwright said she lifted directly from her own experiences.

“As a writer, I thought it absolutely had to be in there. I couldn’t hold onto something that had happened to me because I’m embarrassed to share that I was so naive or stupid,” she said.

Bringing the story to screen was a nearly 30-year effort, Cartwright said.

“I certainly didn’t have the power back then that I have now, I didn’t speak Italian, I didn’t have connections that I have now worldwide, so it took a little bit of time for the physical world to catch up with Nancy’s dream,” she said.

Cartwright said she hopes to write and produce more projects after her experience on “In Search of Fellini.” Meanwhile, she will return in the 29th season of “The Simpsons” in October, continuing her tenure as Bart and characters such as Ralph Wiggum and Nelson Muntz. (rtr)

KUALA LUMPUR - The movie company that made “The Wolf of Wall Street”, and was co-founded by the Malaysian prime minister’s step son, has settled a civil lawsuit brought by the U.S. government to seize assets allegedly bought with money stolen from a Malaysian state fund.

Red Granite Pictures announced the settlement in a filing at the federal Los Angeles court on Friday, without revealing any sum. U.S prosecutors, pursuing a kleptocracy asset recovery initiative, had claimed the 2013 film, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, was financed by Red Granite using funds stolen from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). “The parties are pleased to inform the court that Red Granite and the government have reached a settlement in principle,” the filing stated.

Red Granite has said previously that neither it, or its co-founder Riza Aziz, had done anything wrong.

“We are glad to finally put this matter behind us and look forward to refocusing all of our attention back on our film business,” Red Granite said in a statement.

The U.S. Justice Department has lodged dozens of lawsuits in the past two years related to the alleged misappropriation of $4.5 billion from the investment fund, 1MDB. The United States is seeking to seize some $1.7 billion in assets, making it the largest action brought by the department under its kleptocracy asset recovery initiative.

Producer Riza Aziz (L-R), cast members Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, Jonah Hill and producer Joey McFarland arrive for the U.K. Premiere of “The Wolf of Wall Street” at Leicester Square, in London January 9, 2014.

Minister Najib Razak, who had chaired 1MDB’s advisory board until it was dismantled last year, but he has consistently denied any wrong doing related to the fund.

While Najib has not been the subject of any of the lawsuits, a number of his close associates, including step son Riza Aziz, have been named by U.S. investigators.

Both U.S. and Malaysian officials have confirmed however, that Najib is the “Malaysian Official Number 1” referred to in Federal Bureau of Investigation reports.

Red Granite Pictures provided no details of the settlement, which the filing said remains subject to final documentation and necessary

approvals within the government.

The settlement also covers claims against Red Granite’s rights and interests in two other pictures, “Daddy’s Home” and “Dumb and Dumber To.” Potential witnesses in 1MDB cases are afraid to speak with U.S. investigators as they fear for their safety, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said earlier this month.

The U.S. lawsuits have also sought to seize a Picasso painting given to American movie star Leonardo DiCaprio and millions of dollars worth of jewellery give to Australian model and actress Miranda Kerr, all allegedly from 1MDB funds. (rtr)

54 years after Mt. Agung erupted in 1963

Lava flow now made into quarrying area, housing and school

AMLAPURA - The last eruption of Mount Agung in 1963 still remains in the mind of Balinese people, especially Karangasem. The eruption starting on February 18, 1963 ending on January 27, 1964 was magmatic and claimed a total of 1,148 fatalities while 296 others injured. Now, after 54 years, the former lava flow has become the center for quarrying activities. There are also taken advantage for housing and school building.

History of the Mount Agung’s eruption has been recorded since 1808. At that time, Mount Agung discharged rocks and volcanic ash in large numbers. Another eruption occurred in 1821, a normal eruption. Terrible eruption then re-occurred in 1843, where the eruption was preceded with an earthquake. The materials discharged were in the form of ash, sand and pumice stone. Then, in 1908, 1915 and 1917 in various places in the bottom of the crater and the embankment was found fumaroles. Then, the last eruption occurred in 1963.

Seeing the records of contingency plan documents to face the eruption of Mount Agung, the history indicates if the interphase period of Mount Agung is different, from the shortest period of 16 years to the longest period of 120 years.

For almost a year in the last eruption at the time, Bali chiefly Karangasem was totally paralyzed. All the activities of government and people’s economy stagnated. Everything was focused on the handling of victims amid the never-ending earthquakes while the roars from the crater of Mount Agung continued and accompanied by ash rain.

Since the earthquake activities began to be felt on February 16, 1963, the people of Karangasem continued to be haunted by earthquakes, clouds of smoke and smell of sulfuric gas. On the following days, people were increasingly made panicky by the sound of eruption, the movement of fire at the mouth of the crater amid persistent lightning. On February 24, heavy muddy rains were observed at Besakih causing several buildings of the Eka Dasa Rudra (centenary ritual) collapsed. At that time, Temukus residents fled to Besakih. Hot clouds of the eruption

came down through Tukad Daya to Belong. March 17, 1963 became the peak of Mount Agung activities. Climax of the eruption cloud happened at 05:32. Sound of the eruption was heard averagely every five seconds. The ash rains were getting heavier until the sight was completely obstructed.

Since then, the area of Subagan and Amlapura town was overwhelmed by rain lava to claim thousands of fatalities. It happened until March 21, 1963. After peak of the eruption, all the activities of Mount Agung diminished. The roars were slowly gone. Lava melt moved northwardly and stopped a distance of 7,290 meters from the peak of Mount Agung. This situation then continued to decline until the activity of Mount Agung really stalled on January 27, 1964.

One of the community leaders of Selat subdistrict, I Wayan Sekep, said on Saturday (Sep. 16), the most severe impact occurred on the foot of Mount Agung like at Sebudi village namely the Badeg Dukuh, Badeg Tengah, Badeg Kelodan, Sebudi, Ancut, Telung Buana, Lebih, some of Yeh He and Pura hamlet.

Other impacts of the lava were also experienced at North Duda village, especially at Geriana Kauh and a part of Geriana Kangin.
