‘Ghostbusters’ Debuts to $46 Million, ‘Secret Life of Pets’ Tops Charts
LOS ANGELES - Paul Feig’s “Ghostbusters” reboot has triggered intense debate over its decision to refashion the proton pack-wielding paranormal investigators as an all-female team. For some, the movie has been a feminist rallying cry; for others, a pop culture desecration. It’s also provided ample opportunity for internet trolls to engage in some misogyny. After all the chatter and the gender politics, “Ghostbusters” debuted this weekend to a solid $46 million from 3,962 locations. Sony hailed the results as evidence that audiences were responding to its new take on the decades-old property. But though it ranks as the best debut for a liveaction comedy in over a year, the film
will have to show some endurance, as well as resonate with foreign audiences, to make a profit. After all, dusting off the ectoplasm was expensive, with Sony shelling out $144 million to make “Ghostbusters” and millions more to market the film. That tops what most comedies cost to produce and distribute. Sony has been trying to get another “Ghostbusters” off the ground for decades, but it has often been the victim of original star Bill Murray’s mercurial vetting process.

Indonesia begins re-vaccinating victims of fake drug ring
JAKARTA - Indonesia on Monday began revaccinating nearly 200 children who received fake versions of imported inoculations from a drugcounterfeiting ring broken up last month after operating for more than a decade. President Joko Widodo urged calm as public uproar intensified over revelations that health officials knew about the syndicate producing the fake vaccines for several years but did little to stop it. The scandal has exposed major weaknesses in the government’s oversight of the health sector, which has expanded rapidly alongside a growing middle class. No illnesses or deaths have been directly linked to the fake vaccines, officials have said. “I want to ask people to stay calm because this incident happened over such a long time,” Widodo told reporters at a Jakarta clinic offering re-vaccinations. “We need more time to investigate so we can get the real data of people who suffered from these fake vaccines.” The ring used stolen vials and forged labels to make the fake medicine look like imported vaccines produced by GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi. State-owned Bio Farma produces nearly all vaccines available in Indonesia. The syndicate sold fake booster vaccines for hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough to at least 14 health facilities in Jakarta and elsewhere on Java island. Health officials said the sham vaccines contained the antibiotic gentamicin and saline solution and were not harmful and made up only 1 percent of total vaccines in Indonesia. Investigators are trying to determine how widely the fake drugs were distributed.
Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, is clearly designed to trigger a fresh array of sequels. “There absolutely will be more,” said Josh Greenstein, Sony’s marketing and distribution chief. “This is a restart of one of our most important brands.” The audience for the film skewed female, with women making up 54% of ticket buyers. It also resonated more strongly with older crowds, weaned on the 1984 original and its 1989 sequel, as 55% of the audience clocked in over the age of 25. Despite Greenstein’s optimism, some analysts argued the results were underwhelming. (rtr)

DENPASAR - The action on rejection against the Benoa Bay reclamation in disguise of revitalization is incessantly inflamed by Balinese people coalesced into the agreement (pasubayan) of customary vil-
lages rejecting reclamation. On Sunday (Jul. 17) was the turn for three customary villages, namely the Sanur, Intaran and Penyaringan to state their rejection against the Benoa Bay reclamation. Moreover, they (Sanur, Intaran and Penyaringan—Ed) asked President Jokowi to immediately cancel and revoke the Presidential Regulation No. 51/2014
issued during the leadership of President Yudhoyono. Thousands of people coalesced into the agreement of customary villages rejecting reclamation and ForBALI also support the action. They gathered from 14:00 at Wantilan hall of Intaran on Jalan Danau Buyan, Sanur. Afterward, they marched to the in-

COVER STORY Reject... From page 1
This action can be said somewhat different from ever before because people did not only bring along flag pennants of rejection against the reclamation and ForBALI, but also spread lelancingan or long clothes along 70 meters in the action. The lelancingan symbolizes the 700 hectares of Benoa Bay area planned to be reclaimed. Chief of Intaran customary village, A.A. Kompiang, said that the village meeting some time ago has agreed that Intaran customary village firmly stated to reject the Benoa Bay reclamation plan and support the invocation of the Presidential Regulation No. 51/2014. His customary village with the customary villages across Bali rejecting the reclamation will not stop and remain consistent to fight for the sanctity of the Bali’s land as long as the reclamation plan under the guise of revitalization of Benoa Bay continues.
“As Balinese people living in Bali, we must be willing to struggle for our homeland that we love together. Through the Intaran customary village meeting we have agreed to firmly unite our determination to reject the Benoa Bay reclamation,” he said on the sidelines of a speech in the action of statement related to the rejection against the Benoa Bay reclamation, Sunday (Jul. 17). He also reminded all the people rejecting the reclamation of remaining consistent and never being easily provoked and hoaxed by proreclamation party that promotes disunity. According to Kompiang, the leaders of Bali are now deaf and reject to accommodate the aspirations of the community. Therefore, consistency of customary villages rejecting the reclamation to struggle for the sanctity of Bali’s land in the area of Benoa Bay should be continuously inflamed, so that the reclamation will not happen. “Let’s keep moving together and struggle for it, so that Presidential Regulation No.51/2014 can immediately be revoked and canceled,”
he continued. It was also confirmed by Chief of Sanur customary village, I.B. Paramartha. He said that based on the agreement made in the meeting, the Sanur customary village firmly rejected the Benoa Bay reclamation. Based on the experiences, along the Sanur Beach area has got the impact of the Serangan Island reclamation. Therefore, in order not to aggravate the condition along the Sanur Beach with the Benoa Bay reclamation plan, so that with such a reason the Sanur customary village strongly rejected the Benoa Bay reclamation. In the meantime, chief of Penyaringan customary village, I Made Purna, also revealed the same statement. He said that based on the decision made on May 12, the residents of Penyaringan customary village also firmly united the determination to reject the Benoa Bay reclamation. He hoped that following the peaceful demonstrations on the rejection against the reclamation, the leaders of Bali will immediately open their eyes

SpaceX rocket lifts off on cargo run, then lands at launch site

The McDonnell F-4 Phantom II, a supersonic jet which first flew in May 1958, is shown in formation in this publicity photo from the Boeing Company released to Reuters July 14, 2016.
Boeing aims for supersonics and Mars at outset of second century
CAPE CANAVERAL - An unmanned SpaceX rocket blasted off from Florida early on Monday to send a cargo ship to the International Space Station, then turned around and landed itself back at the launch site. The 23-story-tall Falcon 9 rocket, built and flown by Elon Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, lifted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 12:45 a.m. EDT (0445 GMT). Perched on top of the rocket was a Dragon capsule filled with nearly 5,000 pounds (2,268 kg) of food, supplies and equipment, including a miniature DNA sequencer, the first to fly in space. Also aboard the capsule was a metal docking ring of diameter 7.8 feet (2.4 m), that will be attached to the station, letting commercial spaceships under development by SpaceX and Boeing Co. ferry astronauts to the station, a $100-billion laboratory that flies about 250 miles (400 km) above Earth. The manned craft are scheduled to begin test flights next year. Since NASA retired its fleet of space shuttles five years ago, the United States has depended on Russia to ferry astronauts to and from the station, at a cost of more than $70 million per person. As the Dragon cargo ship began its two-day journey to the station, the main section of the Falcon 9 booster rocket separated and flew itself back to the ground, touching down a few miles south of its seaside launch pad, accompanied by a pair of sonic booms. “Good launch, good landing, Dragon is on its way,” said NASA mission commentator George Diller. Owned and operated by Musk, the technology entrepreneur who founded Tesla Motors Inc, SpaceX is developing rockets that can be refurbished and re-used, potentially slashing launch costs. With Monday’s touchdown, SpaceX has successfully landed Falcon rockets on the ground twice and on an ocean platform during three of its last four attempts. (rtr)
producing fighter jets, aerial refueling tankers, communications satellites and rockets. The company is exploring the possibilities of commercial supersonic and hypersonic planes, Muilenburg said. It also is at work on a manned mission to Mars. Though those are perhaps many decades away, “I’m anticipating that person will be riding on a Boeing rocket,” Muilenburg said. More immediately, Boeing is pressing for licenses to conclude sales of 109 aircraft to Iran, including leased jets, despite opposition from some in Congress. “This is a significant opportunity,” he said. “It does represent significant U.S. manufacturing jobs.” The company also is still working on plans for a so-called “middle of
the market” aircraft that could fill a gap in its product line between the 737 and the 787. Muilenburg said it might use “existing products, derivatives of existing products or an all new airplane” to fill the gap. “If it’s an all new airplane, we think that would probably be in the 2024-2025 time frame in terms of when it would be introduced into service,” he said. Muilenburg spoke with reporters at the beginning of a celebratory weekend of events for an estimated 100,000 employees, families and retirees at Boeing Field in Seattle. Muilenburg said Boeing is arguably stronger now than at any point in its 100-year history. It has a backlog of 5,700 plane orders, enough to keep its factories humming for six or seven years. (rtr)

Buleleng needs to increase street lighting SINGARAJA - The potential of traffic accident in Buleleng is quite large compared to other districts. Police considered the condition of road infrastructure mainly street lighting in rural areas has not been optimized. Chief of Buleleng Police Traffic Affairs, I Gede Sumadra Khertiawan, explained that public street lighting is needed when passing at night. The authority of provincial government is expected to pay more attention to road sections in need of lighting like in the East Buleleng, West Buleleng to the street corners around Gitgit and Sukasada subdistrict. Provision of street lighting can avoid motorists from accidents. Moreover, when it rains at night it can prevent incidents like landslides and fallen trees. “Traffic accidents in rural areas are potentially caused by less maximal infrastructure. The most obvious is street lighting, arrangement of shade trees and landslides. This vulnerability is one of the causes triggering high traffic accidents in our region,” said Khertiawan when confirmed by Bali Post via his mobile phone, Saturday (Jul. 16). He considered to have provided maximal dissemination and appeal on public discipline. Moreover, at the moment of new student admission can be inserted the understanding on traffic discipline. Briefing in the familiarization period (MPLS)
should be intensified at school for education. “New students are given the education on early prevention of traffic accident. They must understand the traffic signs for their safety,” he said. Every traffic accident, said Khertiawan, is always analyzed in terms of kilometer point, vulnerability, arrangement and anatomy of traffic accident from the point where it was avoided for more than once. “Traffic accidents in our region happen at different locations not at a single point. Vulnerable points are specially anticipated in order to avoid traffic accident as early as possible,” said Khertiawan. Based on the data at the Buleleng Police Headquarters, the number of traffic accident in 2015 is as follows: in January reached 27 traffic accidents consisting of seven fatalities, one severe injury and 44 minor injuries. In February occurred 34 traffic incidents, with 11 fatalities, one severe injury and 51 minor injuries. In March occurred 23 traffic incidents consisting of nine fatalities, no severe injury and 40 minor injuries. In April occurred 23 traffic accidents with four fatalities, no severe injury and 40 minor injuries. In

French ambassador visits Bali
Discusses about renewable energy
SEATTLE - The Boeing Co marked its centennial on Friday with plans to sharpen its focus on innovation, including ambitious projects for supersonic commercial flight and a rocket that could carry humans to other planets. But innovation at Boeing will be “disciplined” and not endanger the future of the world’s biggest plane maker, Chief Executive Dennis Muilenburg told reporters at an event marking the company’s founding on July 15, 1916. The enterprise established by William Boeing in a Seattle boathouse has faced numerous “bet the company” moments over its 10 decades to bring out new planes such as the 707 and 747. “We have won for 100 years because of innovation,” Muilenburg said. “The key is disciplined innovation. We’ll take risks. We’ll invest smartly.” Chicago-based Boeing has managed to stay ahead of European rival Airbus in plane production and is a major defense and space contractor,

Chief of BPD: Investor requested not to be greedy
BEIJING - Freedom of navigation patrols carried out by foreign navies in the South China Sea could end “in disaster”, a senior Chinese admiral has said, a warning to the United States after last week’s ruling against Beijing’s claims in the area.
SEMARAPURA - The unrest of salt farmers related to the allegation of land selling on Blatung Beach, Dawan, got the attention of a number of parties. One of them is the Chief of the Pesinggahan village consultative assembly (BPD), Putu Juliadi. As chief of the BPD, he will defend the salt farmers so that they can still do their salt farming activities at the location. Moreover, the status of land ownership is unclear. poses the characteristic of Blatung hamlet. Not to mention the salt farmers often becomes the main attraction of foreign travelers. “This is the impact of people only having money orientation. It is a pity on salt farmers because they are asked to leave. Anyway, as chief of the BPD I will support the salt farmers to still perform their activities at the location,” he explained. District administration is also expected to bridge this problem, especially regarding the status of the land ownership. Moreover, there will be an arrangement along the Blatung and Goa Lawah Beach. He expected that building permit (IMB) of all the buildings established in the area could be checked. The arrangement is mainly directed to the buildings hampering the beach view. The area may not be filled with concrete buildings. “There is also a venue of melasti (purification rite) at the location. So, please do not claim the whole area and do not be too greedy. Let’s do something for the sake of people’s interests and preserve the ancestral heritage so that we will not lose the identity as Balinese,” he explained. As reported previously, the salt farmers at Blatung hamlet, Pesinggahan, Dawan, recently began to fret. It happened because location of their salt farming is alleged to have been traded by unscrupulous local resident. Actually the salt farmers claim the land occupied for salting location near the Blatung Beach is state land. A local salt farmer, Ni Wayan Suriasih, with her daughter-in-law Ni Ketut Purniasih,
The presence of salt farmers poses the characteristic of Blatung hamlet. claimed to have been confronted with the buyer and seller of the land. At that time, the investor known to be from Karangasem claimed to have purchased the land to salt farmer. Thus, the farmers are asked to move. “I was also asked to sign. However, I do not know what is the signature for,” said Suriasih. As a salt farmer having long been living there, Suriasih claimed to have requested the individual having sold the land to show off the evidence of land ownership like certificate. It includes asking about the southern boundary of the land ownership because it intended to relocate their hut. Unfortunately, at that time the seller posing a native to Blatung hamlet refused to show off the evidence

of certificate. Instead, the salt farmers are prohibited by investor having purchased the land to build permanent hut with the reason of blocking beach view. Additionally, Suriasih together with Purniasih said to have been given transport fee when invited to the home of the party selling the land. With unclear reason, she was given a transport fee as much as IDR 800,000. More strangely, the provision of such money was not only at that time. After invited to the home of land seller, she was given again more money worth IDR 500,000. “Frankly speaking, I do not know where to move because as far as I know the salt farming location occupied is the state land,” she concluded.

China has refused to recognise the ruling by an arbitration court in The Hague that invalidated its vast territorial claims in the South China Sea and did not take part in the proceedings brought by the Philippines. It has reacted angrily to calls by Western countries and Japan for the decision to be adhered to. China has repeatedly blamed the United States for stirring up trouble in the South China Sea, a strategic waterway through which more than $5 trillion of trade moves annually. China, Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam all have rival claims, of which China’s are the largest. The United States has conducted freedom of navigation patrols close to Chinese-held islands, to Beijing’s anger, while China has been bolstering its military presence there. Speaking behind closed doors at a forum in Beijing on Saturday evening, Sun Jianguo, an admiral and Deputy Chief of the Joint Staff Department of the powerful Central Military Commission, said the freedom of navigation issue was a bogus one that certain countries repeatedly hyped up. “When has freedom of navigation in the South China Sea ever been affected? It has not, whether in the past or now, and in the future there won’t be a problem as long as nobody plays tricks,” he said, according to a transcript of his comments seen by Reuters on Monday. China is the biggest beneficiary of freedom of navigation in the South China Sea and won’t let anybody damage it, Sun said. “But China consistently opposes so-called military freedom of navigation which brings with it a military threat, and which challenges and disrespects the international law of the sea,” Sun said. “This kind of military freedom of navigation is damaging to freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, and it could even play out in a disastrous way,” he added, without elaborating. China generally describes its exercises in the South China Sea as routine. (rtr)
Many in Hong Kong look for the exit amid China tension
Ready-to-harvest coffee beans fall out, production ascertained to slump mostly green and very few of them have turned red. More seriously, these green beans fell out so that resulted in crop failure. This condition happened due to excessive rain coupled with sudden hot weather, so that coffee beans turned black and finally fell out. Because of this condition, farmers cannot do much. They are now just waiting until the coffee beans turn red and hoping the weather will be back to normal, so that the harvest this year will not be too detrimental to farmers. One of the farmers of Sepang village, Busungbiu, Wayan Wardana, admitted that coffee harvest this year is hampered by unfavorable weather. He said that since the cof-
fee bore fruits to harvest time, the intensity of rain is relatively high. On the contrary, on particular days the weather turns hot. As a result, the coffee beans approaching the harvest time turn black and fall out. Since knowing this condition due to bad weather, Wardana and other farmers tried to observe this disorder. He estimated that falling out bean reaches five percent per hectare. “We do not know for sure why the coffee beans ready to harvest suddenly fell out and blackened. Possibly it happened due to too frequent rain and occasional hot weather so that the coffee bean blackened and fell out,” he said. In addition to falling out, unfa-
vorable weather has caused the delay to the harvest of Robusta coffee in the region. Until this month, only a few farmers have harvested red coffee bean. Actually based on the experience of harvest season last year, when entering July to August the harvest season is over so that farmers just need to dry out. Over this condition, farmers can only wait for the coffee harvest and hope the weather to improve immediately. “Here are the only red coffee beans and they are difficult to dry out because it often rains. If this weather condition lasts until August, production and quality of coffee will diminish. Hopefully, the weather improves as we cannot
cope with the weather disturbances. Besides, we have confidence that our extension officers are unable to give a solution to this problem,” said Wardana. At a separate location, the Head of the Buleleng Forestry and Plantation Agency, Ketut Nerda, justified the current weather disturbance impeding the picking up of Arabica and Robusta coffee. However, the problem does not only happen to the region, but also in other districts like Tabanan, Bangli, and others, where farmers averagely experience the same condition. On this condition, the agency is equally unable to do much with a technique or method to address this problem. (kmb38)

Unfavorable weather, SINGARAJA - Coffee production in the harvest season this year is estimated to slump compared to last year. This happens because the readyto-harvest coffee beans suddenly fall out due to erratic weather lately. Due to this unfavorable weather, the harvest season delays from the normal one. Not only that, the production and quality of coffee will diminish drastically when compared to the harvest season in 2015. As field observation of Bali Post on Sunday (Jul. 17), the weather in Buleleng within the past few months tends to fluctuate. Actually the weather was hot, but in fact it rained at high intensity.

China admiral warns freedom of navigation patrols could end “in disaster”
Salt farmers on Blatung Beach must be maintained
“Farmers should not be intimated in such a way. So far, there has been no decision made by the village or chief of customary village to clarify the problem,” said Putu Juliadi, Friday (Jul. 15). According to Putu Juliadi familiarly addressed as Putu Lembo, formerly the land along the Blatung Beach was state land. The land was then sharecropped by farmers. Well, having sharecropped it for long time farmer then had desire to make a certificate of the land. Since it cannot be certified, the individual farmer then looked for a lawyer so that the certificate could be issued. “I do not know whether the lawyer can get the fee from the certification process or how the certification process worked. Now, the farmer having certified the land would like to sell it so that the land claimed by farmers is also claimed by the landowner,” he said. However, Juliadi questioned whether the national land agency (BPN) can issue a certificate of the land on the Blatung Beach or shoreline of Blatung or whether it is only the right of use. Moreover, as far as his knowledge there are no stakes at the location and clear limits to the south. “We worry if it has been certified to the sea area,” he said. Obviously, Putu Juliadi wanted the land seller and investor will not intimidate to remove the salt farmers on the Blatung Beach. As Chief of the BPD, he will summon the parties involved through headman to resolve the problem. But in essence, he remained to support salt farmers to perform their activities there because the presence of salt farmers

Chris Lee, a migrant from Hong Kong, poses at his restaurant in Taipei, Taiwan July 15, 2016. Picture taken July 15, 2016.
HONG KONG - When activists began setting fire to trash bins and hurling bricks at police during a February riot in Hong Kong, Chris Lee became more convinced his decision to leave his siblings and mother behind and move to Taiwan was the right one. Hong Kong, long known as one of the safest and most lawabiding cities in Asia, has become increasingly polarised with occasional violent protests, fuelled in part by tensions with Communist Party leaders in Beijing over the Chinese-ruled city’s democratic future. “It’s not just the politics that are messed up,” said Lee, who moved
to Taiwan in March and opened a restaurant. “It is also the people who have become irrational and fickle that drove me to leave.” Lee is not alone. Some 42 percent of Hong Kong residents want to leave, a survey by independent think tank Civic Exchange showed in June. This compares with 20 percent wanting to leave neighbouring Singapore. Seventy percent of 1,500 people surveyed said Hong Kong had become “worse” or “much worse” to live in, with the biggest concerns housing, the “quality of government” and education. The number of Hong Kong people emigrating to Canada almost
doubled in the first quarter of this year compared with the same period last year, and the number moving permanently to Taiwan rose 36 percent over a similar time frame, data shows. The most recent data from the United States is from 2014 and flat. Emigration to the UK has declined, but the minimum amount for those seeking to qualify for residency as investors there has also doubled to 2 million pounds ($2.64 million). Australia doesn’t provide data for Hong Kong but aggregate figures for emigrants from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and Mongolia rose slightly last year. (rtr)

TOKYO/LONDON - SoftBank Group Corp has agreed to buy UK chip designer ARM Holdings PLC in a 24.3 billion pound ($32.2 billion) cash deal, the two sides said on Monday, a bold bet on internet-connected machines that will transform the Japanese group.

People walk past a retail shop of the SoftBank telecommunications company in Tokyo, Japan, May 10, 2016. carrier Sprint and “work on a few more crazy ideas”. Though he has a low profile outside Asia, Son has long been an unconventional, charismatic visionary in the often closed and clubby world of corporate Japan, turning profits from Japanese telecoms into bets on up-and-coming start-ups. Not all have been a success: SoftBank’s $22 billion acquisition of a controlling stake in lossmaking Sprint in 2013 has left the group with hefty debts. SoftBank had interest-bearing debt of 11.9 trillion yen at endMarch, including 4 trillion yen at Sprint, and its net debt currently stands at 3.8 times core earnings. “SoftBank’s position as an
entity outside the semiconductor industry allows ARM to retain its independence and protect existing customer relationships, while commitment to UK investment ensures management buy-in,” Jefferies analysts said in a note. “It’s difficult to see other suitors at this stage.” LOOKING ABROAD The ARM deal is one of Japan’s biggest deals overseas, outranking even Sprint, as SoftBank joins a parade of Japanese companies seeking growth abroad as the domestic economy stagnates. Softbank has raised nearly 2 trillion yen ($19 billion) in cash over the last few months through asset disposals, according to Son - including the sale of shares in
China’s Alibaba, unusual for a group that has rarely exited investments. But analysts had expected it to use the cash to reduce debt or give shareholders a windfall by buying back its own shares. Instead, Son appears to have leapt on the opportunity presented by a battered sterling following Britain’s vote to leave the European Union last month, and a strengthening yen. Though ARM has warned on the staffing impact of Brexit, its revenues are largely in dollars, and its shares have climbed almost 17 percent since the vote. Under the offer on Monday, greeted by the UK government as proof that the economy is ‘open for business’, SoftBank said it was
committed to keeping top managers, ARM’s headquarters and to at least double the employee headcount in Britain. Announcing plans to stay on last month, Son said he wanted to complete the transformation of SoftBank into a tech investment powerhouse. He has focused on what he calls the next ‘paradigm shift’ in technology, which includes artificial intelligence and the internet of things - both increasingly important for ARM as it weathers a smartphone slowdown. This year ARM bought UK imaging specialist Apical, which specialises in technology to allow computers to analyse images - replicating human vision using software.(rtr)

Mataram immigration office deports 60 foreigners in past six months
SoftBank to buy UK chip designer ARM in $32 bln cash deal ARM, the largest Londonlisted tech company by market value, is a major presence in mobile processing, with its processor and graphics technology used by Samsung, Huawei and Apple in their in-house microchips. Components based on technology licensed by ARM are found in the vast majority of the world’s smartphones, and the Cambridgebased group has branched into other connected devices as smartphone growth slows. ARM stands to be central to the tech industry’s shift to the ‘internet of things’ - a network of devices, vehicles and building sensors that collect and exchange data - a stated focus for SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son. Monday’s deal, Softbank’s largest to date, marks a departure for the Japanese group, whose tech and telecom portfolio ranges from U.S. carrier Sprint to a stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba and humanoid robot ‘Pepper’ - but does not yet include a major presence in the semiconductor industry. Under the offer backed by ARM’s board, Softbank will pay 17 pounds for every ARM share - a premium of more than 40 percent to Friday’s close. ARM shares surged nearly 43 percent to 16.99 pounds by 0820 GMT. “This is one of the most important acquisitions we have ever made, and I expect ARM to be a key pillar of SoftBank’s growth strategy going forward,” Son said in the statement. The acquisition is the first for Son, 58, since he last month rescinded plans to retire - effectively pushing out his heir apparent, former Google executive Nikesh Arora. Son, whose lucrative early investments include Alibaba, said then that he wanted to “cement SoftBank 2.0”, turn around loss-making U.S.

MATARAM - The immigration office in Mataram, the capital of the eastern province of West Nusa Tenggara, has deported 60 foreigners from January to July this year. “Of the total 39 hails from China,” the head of the offices enforcement and surveillance section, Agung Wibowo, said here on Sunday. He said of the 39 deported Chinese citizens 36 were nabbed while working in a coal-fired power project in Sambelia, East Lombok.

Alleged leak about cabinet line up feared to trigger controversy
JAKARTA - Alleged leak from the presidential office of information about new cabinet line up amid unconfirmed reports of planned cabinet reshuffle is feared to lit energy wasting controversy, an expert in information system security said. Cabinet reshuffle is a prerogative right of the president, and information about the reshuffle leaked to the public should be controlled, Pratama D Persadha, the founder and chair-
man of the Communication and Information System Security Research Center (CISSReC) told ANTARA news agency here on Sunday. “Cabinet reshuffle is only a plan,
but the names of ministers and their positions have been circulated in the social media, said to be leaked from the palace,” he said. He said the unconfirmed reports could create conflicting perceptions leading to unnecessary controversy. He said the secrecy of some information from the presidential office need to be kept strictly , adding
leaks ahead of time could produce disturbing news. He said 90 percent of the equipment for the security system of information in state institutions in Indonesia including in the state palace is imported. He suggested auditing of the security of information system in the palace. “There should be regular main-
tenance of the system at the state palace . There should be routine evaluation,” he said. He acknowledged that the leaks may not be anything to do with the technology as some officials responsible for the security of information may not have enough sensitivity to the importance of confidential information.(ant)
Rescuers still searching two missing climbers at Mount Slamet
CILACAP - Rescuers of the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) are still searching for two climbers who had been reported missing during a hike at Mount Slamet, Central Java. Based on the latest report of the rescue operation at Mount Slamet, until 19:30 local time, the two missing climbers were still nowhere to
be found, Coordinator of Basarnas Post in Cilacap Mulwahyono said here on Sunday. Basarnas had deployed a team of rescuers to work with the local search and rescue team on Saturday at 23:00 local time to search the missing climbers. On Sunday evening, the rescue team, divided into four groups,
made camps in several posts to rest before continuing the search on Monday. They will comb the area until the mounts peak to find the missing climbers. “If there is no trails, rescuers will sweep the area below, to the right side towards the Selawe Cave,” Mulwahyono said. The two climbers, namely Riza
(16) and Anwar (17), residents of Kedawung Village, Bojong Subdistrict of Tegal District, were reported missing on Saturday. The two began a late ascent to Mount Slamet (3,428 masl) on Thursday afternoon to catch up the first group who had started to climb earlier in the morning. However, due to torrential rain at
the second highest volcano in Java Island after Mount Semeru, the first group decided not to continue the climb and descended. Meanwhile, Riza and Anwar were reported to camp due to the bad weather. On Friday, the family of Riza and Anwar lost contact with the two that they filed a report to Basarnas on the next day.(ant)

Ex-U.S. Marine kills 3 policemen in racially tense Baton Rouge BATON ROUGE - A decorated ex-U.S. Marine sergeant opened fire on police in Baton Rouge on Sunday, killing three officers, nearly two weeks after the fatal police shooting of a black man there sparked nationwide protests, one of them shattered by the massacre of five Dallas policemen. The Baton Rouge suspect, dressed in black and armed with a rifle, was himself shot to death minutes later in a gunfight with police who converged on the scene of a confrontation that Mayor Kip Holden said began as an “ambush-style” attack on officers. Two Baton Rouge Police Department officers and one sheriff’s deputy were killed, and one sheriff’s deputy was critically wounded. Another police officer and one other deputy suffered less severe wounds and were expected to survive. Colonel Mike Edmonson, superintendent of the Louisiana State Police, told a news conference the gunman was believed to have acted alone, contrary to early reports that police may have been looking for other shooters. Sunday’s bloodshed followed days of unrest over the police killings of two black men under questionable circumstances earlier this month - Alton Sterling, 37, in Baton Rouge on July 5, and Philando Castile, 32, near St. Paul, Minnesota, on July 6. Police did not name the suspect. But a U.S. government official told Reuters the gunman was identified as Gavin Long, of Kansas City, Missouri. Long, who was black, was reported by other media to be 29 years old. (rtr)

Arrests hit 6,000 as Turkey cracks down on army and judges after coup bid
ISTANBUL - Turkey widened a crackdown on suspected supporters of a failed military coup on Sunday, taking the number of people rounded up in the armed forces and judiciary to 6,000, and the government said it was in control of the country and economy. President Tayyip Erdogan and the government accused the U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, a former ally whom Erdogan accuses of trying to create a “parallel structure” within the courts, police, armed forces and media, of orchestrating the coup. Erdogan’s supporters of gathered in front of his Istanbul home to call for the plotters to face the death penalty, which Turkey outlawed in 2004 as part of its efforts to join the European Union. “We cannot ignore this demand,” Erdogan told the chanting crowd. “In democracies, whatever the people say has to happen.” He said a “terror group” led by Gulen had “ruined” the armed forces, that its members were being arrested in all military ranks, and that a purge
of this “virus” would continue. Gulen denied any connection with the coup. The president has called on Turks to stay on the streets until Friday, and late into Sunday night, his supporters thronged squares and streets, honking horns and waving flags. Pictures on social media showed detained soldiers stripped to the waist, some wearing only their underpants, handcuffed and lying packed together on the floor of a sports hall where they were being held in Ankara. One video posted on Twitter showed detained generals with bruises and bandages. Akin Ozturk, head of the air force until 2015 and identified by three senior officials as one of the suspected masterminds of the coup plot, was among those
held. The Foreign Ministry raised the death toll to more than 290, including over 100 rebels, and said 1,400 people were hurt. The violence shocked the nation of almost 80 million, once seen as a model Muslim democracy, where living standards have risen steadily for more than a decade and where the army last used force to stage a successful coup more than 30 years ago. It also shattered fragile confidence among Turkey’s allies about security in the NATO country, which is a leading member of the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State. Turkey had already been hit by repeated suicide bombings over the past year and is struggling to contain an insurgency by Kurdish separatists. (rtr)

The fake medicine was sold to customers for up to 800,000 rupiah ($60) a dose, a big mark-up compared with government-subsidized vaccines that are sold for as little as 5,000 rupiah, police said. Some parents were told by health workers the imported vaccines were better for their children, officials said. Police have identified at least 197 children for re-vaccination, but many more are expected to be confirmed. Health Minister Nila Moeloek told Reuters officials knew fake vaccines were being distributed in 2013 but she declined to say why action was not taken sooner. The president has ordered an overhaul of the food and drug monitoring agency. One mother, Rina Herlina Sari, told Reuters she no longer trusted private clinics. “The government should revoke their permits,” she said after her baby daughter got a re-vaccination at a government health centre in Jakarta’s outskirts. Reuters reporters visited the clinic accused of giving Sari’s daughter, and other children, fake vaccines, and found it operating. Its main midwife had been arrested but other staff were working. “The overall facility is a health facility with other areas of care so we have to allow it to continue,” Agung Setya, director of criminal police investigations, told Reuters. “It is up to the health ministry to decide whether to shut it down.”(rtr)

LONDON - She was once the ponytailed Romanian teenager excited at the thought of owning coloured socks and eating bubble gum yet Nadia Comaneci went on to captivate the world by performing an Olympic feat that continues to stir the emotions four decades later. The ponytail is long gone, the childhood cravings have been replaced by more sophisticated tastes, but no matter where she goes Comaneci cannot escape the memories of what happened on July 18 1976 in Montreal. The day she became the first gymnast to score a perfect 10 at the Olympic Games. “Every time there is a zero in the anniversary, it’s kind of bigger. There was 10, then 20, then 30 and now 40, it seems like a lot of numbers. It’s like half of your life is gone,” Comaneci told Reuters in a telephone interview while on a short holiday in California with her family. “But to realise that it’s 40 years since it happened, it’s like ‘oh my gosh, really?’ “Because it’s the 40th year, I feel like I’ve been celebrating the anniversary the entire year. Everyone I meet this year wants to talk about it.” Those celebrations are set to continue for the next few weeks as Comaneci heads to Montreal on July 21 where her 10-year-old son Dylan will get his first chance to see the Olympic Stadium “where his mom’s name is engraved”. Then it will be on to Rio for the Aug. 5-21 Games. The anniversary will be spent together as a family with Dylan and her husband -- fellow Olympic champion Bart Conner -- and Comaneci’s memory of the occasion remains razor sharp despite the passage of 14,610 days. “I remember when I started to do the compulsory (routine on the uneven bars), I thought I did a pretty good routine but I didn’t think I did my perfect routine,” said the 54-year-old, who now resides in Oklahoma. “I know I didn’t watch the scoreboard as I was already thinking about the balance beam after I finished. “Then I heard the big noise in the arena, I look around, I turned my head and saw the scoreboard. I first saw the 073 which was my competition number and 1.00 score which was under. “I looked at one of my team mates and she shrugged her shoulders, indicating that something was wrong with the scoreboard. It all happened so fast.” (rtr)

Sp rt All eyes on Neymar at men’s Olympic soccer tournament SAO PAULO — The last time Brazil played a major soccer tournament at home, Neymar was stretchered off the field and then missed an embarrassing loss against Germany in the 2014 World Cup semifinals. Two years later, the Barcelona star looks to rebound from that disappointment at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
REUTERS/Paulo Whitaker
Barcelona’s soccer player Neymar takes part in the Neymar Jr’s Five soccer tournament in Santos, Brazil, July 9, 2016.
Although the Olympic soccer tournament doesn’t have the same importance of a World Cup, the Rio Games have a special meaning for the Brazilian striker. Neymar will be one of the games’ biggest stars and will carry the responsibility of leading the five-time world champions to their first soccer gold medal. “It’s a unique opportunity,” he said. “Not only for me, but for everyone on the team. We know how important this medal is.” All eyes will be on the 24-yearold striker, who opted to play in the Olympics instead of the Copa America earlier this year. Brazil was eliminated in the group stage of that tournament, a result that prompted the firing of coach Dunga. Because it’s not an official FIFA tournament, teams are not required to release players for the Olympic tournament, but Neymar and the Brazilian soccer confederation negotiated with Barcelona so he could play in Rio. “I know that this gold medal has eluded Brazil so far, and we will do everything to try to win it,” Neymar told Brazilian television recently. “It’s rare that a country like Brazil, considered the land of football, still hasn’t won this gold.” It will be the second time Neymar will play for Brazil at the Olympics. He led the team that lost the 2012 final to Mexico in London, where the Brazilians were the heavy favorites. Brazil was runner-up twice before, in 1984 and 1988. It also won the bronze in 1996 and 2008, the last time with a squad that featured Ronaldinho and future stars like Marcelo and Thiago Silva. “Neymar is special, one of the best players in the world,” said Rogerio Micale, who replaced Dunga as coach of the Olympic team. “Any team can benefit from a player like him. He will mean a lot to us. I think that he will be able to lead the youngsters in the squad.” Neymar will be one of the three over-23 players each nation is allowed to add to its roster. The other two are 38-year-old Palmeiras
goalkeeper Fernando Prass and 28year-old Beijing Guoan midfielder Renato Augusto, who have far less international experience than Neymar. No other player will attract as much attention — from fans, media and opposing teams — as Neymar. “I’m honored to be in this team, because I know how difficult it is to win an Olympic medal in any sport,” he said. “With football it’s even more difficult because if you are not the champion, people see it differently.” Neymar is facing extra pressure after Dunga was fired for the second time from the national team. Without the experienced coach by his side, Neymar will carry the fate of the team, and the striker can become a national hero if he wins the gold, or join a long list of stars — Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, among others — who have failed in the pursuit of the gold. “I never run away from the responsibility. I’m used to it,” Neymar said. “We have another great opportunity to win an Olympic medal, and hopefully this time it will be the gold.” Neymar also had a prominent role at the World Cup in Brazil two years ago, when he played up to expectations until breaking a bone in his back in the quarterfinals against Colombia and missing the rest of the tournament. Brazil eventually was eliminated after an embarrassing 7-1 loss to Germany in the semifinals. “I don’t compare tournaments. I just like winning every tournament that I play,” Neymar said. “All of them are important for me. Each has its own history, its own characteristic, but they are all important.” Brazil had a favorable draw and will face South Africa, Iraq and Denmark in Group A, making its debut Aug. 4 against South Africa in Brasilia. In the quarterfinals, the hosts could face Colombia or Nigeria, two youth powerhouses. The final will be played Aug. 20 at Maracana Stadium in Rio.(ap)

Cuadrado to return to Chelsea after Juventus loan - Conte New Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has confirmed winger Juan Cuadrado will return to the club after a season-long loan at Italian champions Juventus. The Colombian, who joined Juve from the Premier League side in August, scored four goals in 28 league matches last season to help the club to a Serie A and Coppa Italia double. The 28-year-old had made little
impact in 15 Chelsea appearances since moving to Stamford Bridge from Fiorentina for an estimated 23.3 million pound ($30.80 million). “Juan Cuadrado is a Chelsea player. He will come back very soon. He’s in our squad, I’m very happy to have him and train him,” Conte, who coached Juve to three successive Serie A titles from 2012 to 2014, told the club’s website

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has urged patience with new recruit Eric Bailly, saying that the defender will take time to adapt to the demands of England’s top flight following his move from Spain. Bailly, Mourinho’s first signing since he took over from Louis van Gaal, put on an impressive display for United as the visitors beat Wigan 2-0 in a friendly on Saturday. The 22-year-old was part of a Villarreal defence that conceded just 35 goals in 38 league matches last season. “He’s a very young boy coming from a completely different environment, but you could see what he is at this moment,” Mourinho told British media. “This was the first time he has worn a shirt like the Manchester United shirt. He can’t speak English and can only communicate with the ones who are French-speakers or Spanish. “I wanted to give him more minutes because he needs to play more than others. He needs to feel it and
start communicating.” The former Chelsea manager also likened the Ivory Coast international to defender Raphael Varane, whom he coached at Real Madrid.
“I will give him everything to try to make him better and better, like I did with other central defenders I’ve had in my hands,” Mourinho added. (rtr)

Allegri confident Pogba will stay at Juventus Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri is confident Paul Pogba will stay put at the club despite talks about the French midfielder leaving for England or Spain. Pogba, who’s contract at Juventus runs until 2019, has been linked with a return to English Premier League club Manchester United and Champions League winners Real Madrid. “I am calm about the English rumours,” Allegri told Gazzetta dello Sport. “Anyone who has the opportunity to leave Juventus has to consider things very carefully, because right now Juve are among the top four European clubs.”
Pogba, who was instrumental in France’s run to the Euro 2016 final, played 48 times in all competitions last season to guide Juve to a Serie A and Coppa Italia double. The Italian champions have also boosted the squad by acquiring midfielder Miralem Pjanic, right back Dani Alves and Morocco defender Medhi Benatia during the close season. “This is not a selling club that just
lets its players go. Pogba belongs to Juve and at the end of the day he too will want to win another Scudetto and hopefully the Champions League,” the 48-year-old added. “We have grown in terms of appeal and awareness of our own capabilities. So far our market this summer has been eight out of 10, bringing in players of international pedigree like Medhi Benatia, Dani Alves and Miralem Pjanic.” (rtr)

Sp rt All eyes on Neymar at men’s Olympic soccer tournament SAO PAULO — The last time Brazil played a major soccer tournament at home, Neymar was stretchered off the field and then missed an embarrassing loss against Germany in the 2014 World Cup semifinals. Two years later, the Barcelona star looks to rebound from that disappointment at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Barcelona’s soccer player Neymar takes part in the Neymar Jr’s Five soccer tournament in Santos, Brazil, July 9, 2016.
Although the Olympic soccer tournament doesn’t have the same importance of a World Cup, the Rio Games have a special meaning for the Brazilian striker. Neymar will be one of the games’ biggest stars and will carry the responsibility of leading the five-time world champions to their first soccer gold medal. “It’s a unique opportunity,” he said. “Not only for me, but for everyone on the team. We know how important this medal is.” All eyes will be on the 24-yearold striker, who opted to play in the Olympics instead of the Copa America earlier this year. Brazil was eliminated in the group stage of that tournament, a result that prompted the firing of coach Dunga. Because it’s not an official FIFA tournament, teams are not required to release players for the Olympic tournament, but Neymar and the Brazilian soccer confederation negotiated with Barcelona so he could play in Rio. “I know that this gold medal has eluded Brazil so far, and we will do everything to try to win it,” Neymar told Brazilian television recently. “It’s rare that a country like Brazil, considered the land of football, still hasn’t won this gold.” It will be the second time Neymar will play for Brazil at the Olympics. He led the team that lost the 2012 final to Mexico in London, where the Brazilians were the heavy favorites. Brazil was runner-up twice before, in 1984 and 1988. It also won the bronze in 1996 and 2008, the last time with a squad that featured Ronaldinho and future stars like Marcelo and Thiago Silva. “Neymar is special, one of the best players in the world,” said Rogerio Micale, who replaced Dunga as coach of the Olympic team. “Any team can benefit from a player like him. He will mean a lot to us. I think that he will be able to lead the youngsters in the squad.” Neymar will be one of the three over-23 players each nation is allowed to add to its roster. The other two are 38-year-old Palmeiras
goalkeeper Fernando Prass and 28year-old Beijing Guoan midfielder Renato Augusto, who have far less international experience than Neymar. No other player will attract as much attention — from fans, media and opposing teams — as Neymar. “I’m honored to be in this team, because I know how difficult it is to win an Olympic medal in any sport,” he said. “With football it’s even more difficult because if you are not the champion, people see it differently.” Neymar is facing extra pressure after Dunga was fired for the second time from the national team. Without the experienced coach by his side, Neymar will carry the fate of the team, and the striker can become a national hero if he wins the gold, or join a long list of stars — Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, among others — who have failed in the pursuit of the gold. “I never run away from the responsibility. I’m used to it,” Neymar said. “We have another great opportunity to win an Olympic medal, and hopefully this time it will be the gold.” Neymar also had a prominent role at the World Cup in Brazil two years ago, when he played up to expectations until breaking a bone in his back in the quarterfinals against Colombia and missing the rest of the tournament. Brazil eventually was eliminated after an embarrassing 7-1 loss to Germany in the semifinals. “I don’t compare tournaments. I just like winning every tournament that I play,” Neymar said. “All of them are important for me. Each has its own history, its own characteristic, but they are all important.” Brazil had a favorable draw and will face South Africa, Iraq and Denmark in Group A, making its debut Aug. 4 against South Africa in Brasilia. In the quarterfinals, the hosts could face Colombia or Nigeria, two youth powerhouses. The final will be played Aug. 20 at Maracana Stadium in Rio.(ap)

Cuadrado to return to Chelsea after Juventus loan - Conte New Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has confirmed winger Juan Cuadrado will return to the club after a season-long loan at Italian champions Juventus. The Colombian, who joined Juve from the Premier League side in August, scored four goals in 28 league matches last season to help the club to a Serie A and Coppa Italia double. The 28-year-old had made little
impact in 15 Chelsea appearances since moving to Stamford Bridge from Fiorentina for an estimated 23.3 million pound ($30.80 million). “Juan Cuadrado is a Chelsea player. He will come back very soon. He’s in our squad, I’m very happy to have him and train him,” Conte, who coached Juve to three successive Serie A titles from 2012 to 2014, told the club’s website
(www.chelseafc.com). “I wanted him when I was a coach at Juventus and he will come back very soon and train and play with us. Now, he’s a Chelsea player and he’ll stay with us. If something changes you’ll know.” Cuadrado made six appearances for Colombia at the Centenary Copa America last month in the United States to lead his country to a third-place finish.(rtr)

LONDON - She was once the ponytailed Romanian teenager excited at the thought of owning coloured socks and eating bubble gum yet Nadia Comaneci went on to captivate the world by performing an Olympic feat that continues to stir the emotions four decades later. The ponytail is long gone, the childhood cravings have been replaced by more sophisticated tastes, but no matter where she goes Comaneci cannot escape the memories of what happened on July 18 1976 in Montreal. The day she became the first gymnast to score a perfect 10 at the Olympic Games. “Every time there is a zero in the anniversary, it’s kind of bigger. There was 10, then 20, then 30 and now 40, it seems like a lot of numbers. It’s like half of your life is gone,” Comaneci told Reuters in a telephone interview while on a short holiday in California with her family. “But to realise that it’s 40 years since it happened, it’s like ‘oh my gosh, really?’ “Because it’s the 40th year, I feel like I’ve been celebrating the anniversary the entire year. Everyone I meet this year wants to talk about it.” Those celebrations are set to continue for the next few weeks as Comaneci heads to Montreal on July 21 where her 10-year-old son Dylan will get his first chance to see the Olympic Stadium “where his mom’s name is engraved”. Then it will be on to Rio for the Aug. 5-21 Games. The anniversary will be spent together as a family with Dylan and her husband -- fellow Olympic champion Bart Conner -- and Comaneci’s memory of the occasion remains razor sharp despite the passage of 14,610 days. “I remember when I started to do the compulsory (routine on the uneven bars), I thought I did a pretty good routine but I didn’t think I did my perfect routine,” said the 54-year-old, who now resides in Oklahoma. “I know I didn’t watch the scoreboard as I was already thinking about the balance beam after I finished. “Then I heard the big noise in the arena, I look around, I turned my head and saw the scoreboard. I first saw the 073 which was my competition number and 1.00 score which was under. “I looked at one of my team mates and she shrugged her shoulders, indicating that something was wrong with the scoreboard. It all happened so fast.” (rtr)

Ratchanok had been given a provisional suspension on July 13 after reports that she had failed a dope test during the Uber Cup tournament in China in May. A second sample taken from Ratchanok was sent to Japan for testing and a hearing process by badminton’s governing body began following Ratchanok’s suspension. “The Panel concluded that ... no violation of the regulations was committed,” the BWF said in a statement.
Badminton’s governing body lifted the suspension, allowing Ratchanok to take part in competitions with immediate effect. At a news conference in Bangkok on Monday, Ratchanok said she was happy to have been proven innocent. “I didn’t do anything wrong and I am confident in the decision of the BWF. I’m happy I received justice,” Ratchanok told reporters. “I will focus on training in order to bring success to the Thai
a knee injury and that could have been the reason for her sample initially testing positive. The 21-year-old will be among Thailand’s main medal hopes in Rio and one of the chief threats to China’s chances of defending their sweep of all five badminton titles at the London Games. The daughter of factory workers at a Bangkok sweet-maker, the former world champion hopes winning gold at the Rio Olympics might inspire more Thai girls to chase their dreams. (rtr)

Ex-U.S. Marine kills 3 policemen in racially tense Baton Rouge BATON ROUGE - A decorated ex-U.S. Marine sergeant opened fire on police in Baton Rouge on Sunday, killing three officers, nearly two weeks after the fatal police shooting of a black man there sparked nationwide protests, one of them shattered by the massacre of five Dallas policemen. The Baton Rouge suspect, dressed in black and armed with a rifle, was himself shot to death minutes later in a gunfight with police who converged on the scene of a confrontation that Mayor Kip Holden said began as an “ambush-style” attack on officers. Two Baton Rouge Police Department officers and one sheriff’s deputy were killed, and one sheriff’s deputy was critically wounded. Another police officer and one other deputy suffered less severe wounds and were expected to survive. Colonel Mike Edmonson, superintendent of the Louisiana State Police, told a news conference the gunman was believed to have acted alone, contrary to early reports that police may have been looking for other shooters. Sunday’s bloodshed followed days of unrest over the police killings of two black men under questionable circumstances earlier this month - Alton Sterling, 37, in Baton Rouge on July 5, and Philando Castile, 32, near St. Paul, Minnesota, on July 6. Police did not name the suspect. But a U.S. government official told Reuters the gunman was identified as Gavin Long, of Kansas City, Missouri. Long, who was black, was reported by other media to be 29 years old. (rtr)

Arrests hit 6,000 as Turkey cracks down on army and judges after coup bid
ISTANBUL - Turkey widened a crackdown on suspected supporters of a failed military coup on Sunday, taking the number of people rounded up in the armed forces and judiciary to 6,000, and the government said it was in control of the country and economy. President Tayyip Erdogan and the government accused the U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, a former ally whom Erdogan accuses of trying to create a “parallel structure” within the courts, police, armed forces and media, of orchestrating the coup. Erdogan’s supporters of gathered in front of his Istanbul home to call for the plotters to face the death penalty, which Turkey outlawed in 2004 as part of its efforts to join the European Union. “We cannot ignore this demand,” Erdogan told the chanting crowd. “In democracies, whatever the people say has to happen.” He said a “terror group” led by Gulen had “ruined” the armed forces, that its members were being arrested in all military ranks, and that a purge
of this “virus” would continue. Gulen denied any connection with the coup. The president has called on Turks to stay on the streets until Friday, and late into Sunday night, his supporters thronged squares and streets, honking horns and waving flags. Pictures on social media showed detained soldiers stripped to the waist, some wearing only their underpants, handcuffed and lying packed together on the floor of a sports hall where they were being held in Ankara. One video posted on Twitter showed detained generals with bruises and bandages. Akin Ozturk, head of the air force until 2015 and identified by three senior officials as one of the suspected masterminds of the coup plot, was among those
held. The Foreign Ministry raised the death toll to more than 290, including over 100 rebels, and said 1,400 people were hurt. The violence shocked the nation of almost 80 million, once seen as a model Muslim democracy, where living standards have risen steadily for more than a decade and where the army last used force to stage a successful coup more than 30 years ago. It also shattered fragile confidence among Turkey’s allies about security in the NATO country, which is a leading member of the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State. Turkey had already been hit by repeated suicide bombings over the past year and is struggling to contain an insurgency by Kurdish separatists. (rtr)

Indonesia... From page 1 Police have arrested nearly two dozen people, including drugmakers, pharmacists, doctors and nurses. The fake medicine was sold to customers for up to 800,000 rupiah ($60) a dose, a big mark-up compared with government-subsidized vaccines that are sold for as little as 5,000 rupiah, police said. Some parents were told by health workers the imported vaccines were better for their children, officials said. Police have identified at least 197 children for re-vaccination, but many more are expected to be confirmed. Health Minister Nila Moeloek told Reuters officials knew fake vaccines were being distributed in 2013 but she declined to say why action was not taken sooner. The president has ordered an overhaul of the food and drug monitoring agency. One mother, Rina Herlina Sari, told Reuters she no longer trusted private clinics. “The government should revoke their permits,” she said after her baby daughter got a re-vaccination at a government health centre in Jakarta’s outskirts. Reuters reporters visited the clinic accused of giving Sari’s daughter, and other children, fake vaccines, and found it operating. Its main midwife had been arrested but other staff were working. “The overall facility is a health facility with other areas of care so we have to allow it to continue,” Agung Setya, director of criminal police investigations, told Reuters. “It is up to the health ministry to decide whether to shut it down.”(rtr)

TOKYO/LONDON - SoftBank Group Corp has agreed to buy UK chip designer ARM Holdings PLC in a 24.3 billion pound ($32.2 billion) cash deal, the two sides said on Monday, a bold bet on internet-connected machines that will transform the Japanese group.

People walk past a retail shop of the SoftBank telecommunications company in Tokyo, Japan, May 10, 2016. carrier Sprint and “work on a few more crazy ideas”. Though he has a low profile outside Asia, Son has long been an unconventional, charismatic visionary in the often closed and clubby world of corporate Japan, turning profits from Japanese telecoms into bets on up-and-coming start-ups. Not all have been a success: SoftBank’s $22 billion acquisition of a controlling stake in lossmaking Sprint in 2013 has left the group with hefty debts. SoftBank had interest-bearing debt of 11.9 trillion yen at endMarch, including 4 trillion yen at Sprint, and its net debt currently stands at 3.8 times core earnings. “SoftBank’s position as an
entity outside the semiconductor industry allows ARM to retain its independence and protect existing customer relationships, while commitment to UK investment ensures management buy-in,” Jefferies analysts said in a note. “It’s difficult to see other suitors at this stage.” LOOKING ABROAD The ARM deal is one of Japan’s biggest deals overseas, outranking even Sprint, as SoftBank joins a parade of Japanese companies seeking growth abroad as the domestic economy stagnates. Softbank has raised nearly 2 trillion yen ($19 billion) in cash over the last few months through asset disposals, according to Son - including the sale of shares in
China’s Alibaba, unusual for a group that has rarely exited investments. But analysts had expected it to use the cash to reduce debt or give shareholders a windfall by buying back its own shares. Instead, Son appears to have leapt on the opportunity presented by a battered sterling following Britain’s vote to leave the European Union last month, and a strengthening yen. Though ARM has warned on the staffing impact of Brexit, its revenues are largely in dollars, and its shares have climbed almost 17 percent since the vote. Under the offer on Monday, greeted by the UK government as proof that the economy is ‘open for business’, SoftBank said it was
committed to keeping top managers, ARM’s headquarters and to at least double the employee headcount in Britain. Announcing plans to stay on last month, Son said he wanted to complete the transformation of SoftBank into a tech investment powerhouse. He has focused on what he calls the next ‘paradigm shift’ in technology, which includes artificial intelligence and the internet of things - both increasingly important for ARM as it weathers a smartphone slowdown. This year ARM bought UK imaging specialist Apical, which specialises in technology to allow computers to analyse images - replicating human vision using software.(rtr)

Mataram immigration office deports 60 foreigners in past six months
SoftBank to buy UK chip designer ARM in $32 bln cash deal ARM, the largest Londonlisted tech company by market value, is a major presence in mobile processing, with its processor and graphics technology used by Samsung, Huawei and Apple in their in-house microchips. Components based on technology licensed by ARM are found in the vast majority of the world’s smartphones, and the Cambridgebased group has branched into other connected devices as smartphone growth slows. ARM stands to be central to the tech industry’s shift to the ‘internet of things’ - a network of devices, vehicles and building sensors that collect and exchange data - a stated focus for SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son. Monday’s deal, Softbank’s largest to date, marks a departure for the Japanese group, whose tech and telecom portfolio ranges from U.S. carrier Sprint to a stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba and humanoid robot ‘Pepper’ - but does not yet include a major presence in the semiconductor industry. Under the offer backed by ARM’s board, Softbank will pay 17 pounds for every ARM share - a premium of more than 40 percent to Friday’s close. ARM shares surged nearly 43 percent to 16.99 pounds by 0820 GMT. “This is one of the most important acquisitions we have ever made, and I expect ARM to be a key pillar of SoftBank’s growth strategy going forward,” Son said in the statement. The acquisition is the first for Son, 58, since he last month rescinded plans to retire - effectively pushing out his heir apparent, former Google executive Nikesh Arora. Son, whose lucrative early investments include Alibaba, said then that he wanted to “cement SoftBank 2.0”, turn around loss-making U.S.

MATARAM - The immigration office in Mataram, the capital of the eastern province of West Nusa Tenggara, has deported 60 foreigners from January to July this year. “Of the total 39 hails from China,” the head of the offices enforcement and surveillance section, Agung Wibowo, said here on Sunday. He said of the 39 deported Chinese citizens 36 were nabbed while working in a coal-fired power project in Sambelia, East Lombok. Three others were caught in the Sekotong tourist area in West Lombok, he said. He said all of the Chinese citizens had been charged with violating Law Number 6 of 2011 on immigration.

Alleged leak about cabinet line up feared to trigger controversy
JAKARTA - Alleged leak from the presidential office of information about new cabinet line up amid unconfirmed reports of planned cabinet reshuffle is feared to lit energy wasting controversy, an expert in information system security said. Cabinet reshuffle is a prerogative right of the president, and information about the reshuffle leaked to the public should be controlled, Pratama D Persadha, the founder and chair-
man of the Communication and Information System Security Research Center (CISSReC) told ANTARA news agency here on Sunday. “Cabinet reshuffle is only a plan,
but the names of ministers and their positions have been circulated in the social media, said to be leaked from the palace,” he said. He said the unconfirmed reports could create conflicting perceptions leading to unnecessary controversy. He said the secrecy of some information from the presidential office need to be kept strictly , adding
leaks ahead of time could produce disturbing news. He said 90 percent of the equipment for the security system of information in state institutions in Indonesia including in the state palace is imported. He suggested auditing of the security of information system in the palace. “There should be regular main-
tenance of the system at the state palace . There should be routine evaluation,” he said. He acknowledged that the leaks may not be anything to do with the technology as some officials responsible for the security of information may not have enough sensitivity to the importance of confidential information.(ant)
Rescuers still searching two missing climbers at Mount Slamet
CILACAP - Rescuers of the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) are still searching for two climbers who had been reported missing during a hike at Mount Slamet, Central Java. Based on the latest report of the rescue operation at Mount Slamet, until 19:30 local time, the two missing climbers were still nowhere to
be found, Coordinator of Basarnas Post in Cilacap Mulwahyono said here on Sunday. Basarnas had deployed a team of rescuers to work with the local search and rescue team on Saturday at 23:00 local time to search the missing climbers. On Sunday evening, the rescue team, divided into four groups,
made camps in several posts to rest before continuing the search on Monday. They will comb the area until the mounts peak to find the missing climbers. “If there is no trails, rescuers will sweep the area below, to the right side towards the Selawe Cave,” Mulwahyono said. The two climbers, namely Riza
(16) and Anwar (17), residents of Kedawung Village, Bojong Subdistrict of Tegal District, were reported missing on Saturday. The two began a late ascent to Mount Slamet (3,428 masl) on Thursday afternoon to catch up the first group who had started to climb earlier in the morning. However, due to torrential rain at
the second highest volcano in Java Island after Mount Semeru, the first group decided not to continue the climb and descended. Meanwhile, Riza and Anwar were reported to camp due to the bad weather. On Friday, the family of Riza and Anwar lost contact with the two that they filed a report to Basarnas on the next day.(ant)

Chief of BPD: Investor requested not to be greedy
BEIJING - Freedom of navigation patrols carried out by foreign navies in the South China Sea could end “in disaster”, a senior Chinese admiral has said, a warning to the United States after last week’s ruling against Beijing’s claims in the area.
SEMARAPURA - The unrest of salt farmers related to the allegation of land selling on Blatung Beach, Dawan, got the attention of a number of parties. One of them is the Chief of the Pesinggahan village consultative assembly (BPD), Putu Juliadi. As chief of the BPD, he will defend the salt farmers so that they can still do their salt farming activities at the location. Moreover, the status of land ownership is unclear. poses the characteristic of Blatung hamlet. Not to mention the salt farmers often becomes the main attraction of foreign travelers. “This is the impact of people only having money orientation. It is a pity on salt farmers because they are asked to leave. Anyway, as chief of the BPD I will support the salt farmers to still perform their activities at the location,” he explained. District administration is also expected to bridge this problem, especially regarding the status of the land ownership. Moreover, there will be an arrangement along the Blatung and Goa Lawah Beach. He expected that building permit (IMB) of all the buildings established in the area could be checked. The arrangement is mainly directed to the buildings hampering the beach view. The area may not be filled with concrete buildings. “There is also a venue of melasti (purification rite) at the location. So, please do not claim the whole area and do not be too greedy. Let’s do something for the sake of people’s interests and preserve the ancestral heritage so that we will not lose the identity as Balinese,” he explained. As reported previously, the salt farmers at Blatung hamlet, Pesinggahan, Dawan, recently began to fret. It happened because location of their salt farming is alleged to have been traded by unscrupulous local resident. Actually the salt farmers claim the land occupied for salting location near the Blatung Beach is state land. A local salt farmer, Ni Wayan Suriasih, with her daughter-in-law Ni Ketut Purniasih,
The presence of salt farmers poses the characteristic of Blatung hamlet. claimed to have been confronted with the buyer and seller of the land. At that time, the investor known to be from Karangasem claimed to have purchased the land to salt farmer. Thus, the farmers are asked to move. “I was also asked to sign. However, I do not know what is the signature for,” said Suriasih. As a salt farmer having long been living there, Suriasih claimed to have requested the individual having sold the land to show off the evidence of land ownership like certificate. It includes asking about the southern boundary of the land ownership because it intended to relocate their hut. Unfortunately, at that time the seller posing a native to Blatung hamlet refused to show off the evidence

of certificate. Instead, the salt farmers are prohibited by investor having purchased the land to build permanent hut with the reason of blocking beach view. Additionally, Suriasih together with Purniasih said to have been given transport fee when invited to the home of the party selling the land. With unclear reason, she was given a transport fee as much as IDR 800,000. More strangely, the provision of such money was not only at that time. After invited to the home of land seller, she was given again more money worth IDR 500,000. “Frankly speaking, I do not know where to move because as far as I know the salt farming location occupied is the state land,” she concluded.

China has refused to recognise the ruling by an arbitration court in The Hague that invalidated its vast territorial claims in the South China Sea and did not take part in the proceedings brought by the Philippines. It has reacted angrily to calls by Western countries and Japan for the decision to be adhered to. China has repeatedly blamed the United States for stirring up trouble in the South China Sea, a strategic waterway through which more than $5 trillion of trade moves annually. China, Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam all have rival claims, of which China’s are the largest. The United States has conducted freedom of navigation patrols close to Chinese-held islands, to Beijing’s anger, while China has been bolstering its military presence there. Speaking behind closed doors at a forum in Beijing on Saturday evening, Sun Jianguo, an admiral and Deputy Chief of the Joint Staff Department of the powerful Central Military Commission, said the freedom of navigation issue was a bogus one that certain countries repeatedly hyped up. “When has freedom of navigation in the South China Sea ever been affected? It has not, whether in the past or now, and in the future there won’t be a problem as long as nobody plays tricks,” he said, according to a transcript of his comments seen by Reuters on Monday. China is the biggest beneficiary of freedom of navigation in the South China Sea and won’t let anybody damage it, Sun said. “But China consistently opposes so-called military freedom of navigation which brings with it a military threat, and which challenges and disrespects the international law of the sea,” Sun said. “This kind of military freedom of navigation is damaging to freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, and it could even play out in a disastrous way,” he added, without elaborating. China generally describes its exercises in the South China Sea as routine. (rtr)
Many in Hong Kong look for the exit amid China tension
Ready-to-harvest coffee beans fall out, production ascertained to slump mostly green and very few of them have turned red. More seriously, these green beans fell out so that resulted in crop failure. This condition happened due to excessive rain coupled with sudden hot weather, so that coffee beans turned black and finally fell out. Because of this condition, farmers cannot do much. They are now just waiting until the coffee beans turn red and hoping the weather will be back to normal, so that the harvest this year will not be too detrimental to farmers. One of the farmers of Sepang village, Busungbiu, Wayan Wardana, admitted that coffee harvest this year is hampered by unfavorable weather. He said that since the cof-
fee bore fruits to harvest time, the intensity of rain is relatively high. On the contrary, on particular days the weather turns hot. As a result, the coffee beans approaching the harvest time turn black and fall out. Since knowing this condition due to bad weather, Wardana and other farmers tried to observe this disorder. He estimated that falling out bean reaches five percent per hectare. “We do not know for sure why the coffee beans ready to harvest suddenly fell out and blackened. Possibly it happened due to too frequent rain and occasional hot weather so that the coffee bean blackened and fell out,” he said. In addition to falling out, unfa-
vorable weather has caused the delay to the harvest of Robusta coffee in the region. Until this month, only a few farmers have harvested red coffee bean. Actually based on the experience of harvest season last year, when entering July to August the harvest season is over so that farmers just need to dry out. Over this condition, farmers can only wait for the coffee harvest and hope the weather to improve immediately. “Here are the only red coffee beans and they are difficult to dry out because it often rains. If this weather condition lasts until August, production and quality of coffee will diminish. Hopefully, the weather improves as we cannot
cope with the weather disturbances. Besides, we have confidence that our extension officers are unable to give a solution to this problem,” said Wardana. At a separate location, the Head of the Buleleng Forestry and Plantation Agency, Ketut Nerda, justified the current weather disturbance impeding the picking up of Arabica and Robusta coffee. However, the problem does not only happen to the region, but also in other districts like Tabanan, Bangli, and others, where farmers averagely experience the same condition. On this condition, the agency is equally unable to do much with a technique or method to address this problem. (kmb38)

Unfavorable weather, SINGARAJA - Coffee production in the harvest season this year is estimated to slump compared to last year. This happens because the readyto-harvest coffee beans suddenly fall out due to erratic weather lately. Due to this unfavorable weather, the harvest season delays from the normal one. Not only that, the production and quality of coffee will diminish drastically when compared to the harvest season in 2015. As field observation of Bali Post on Sunday (Jul. 17), the weather in Buleleng within the past few months tends to fluctuate. Actually the weather was hot, but in fact it rained at high intensity. Due to this condition, most coffee beans are

China admiral warns freedom of navigation patrols could end “in disaster”
Salt farmers on Blatung Beach must be maintained
“Farmers should not be intimated in such a way. So far, there has been no decision made by the village or chief of customary village to clarify the problem,” said Putu Juliadi, Friday (Jul. 15). According to Putu Juliadi familiarly addressed as Putu Lembo, formerly the land along the Blatung Beach was state land. The land was then sharecropped by farmers. Well, having sharecropped it for long time farmer then had desire to make a certificate of the land. Since it cannot be certified, the individual farmer then looked for a lawyer so that the certificate could be issued. “I do not know whether the lawyer can get the fee from the certification process or how the certification process worked. Now, the farmer having certified the land would like to sell it so that the land claimed by farmers is also claimed by the landowner,” he said. However, Juliadi questioned whether the national land agency (BPN) can issue a certificate of the land on the Blatung Beach or shoreline of Blatung or whether it is only the right of use. Moreover, as far as his knowledge there are no stakes at the location and clear limits to the south. “We worry if it has been certified to the sea area,” he said. Obviously, Putu Juliadi wanted the land seller and investor will not intimidate to remove the salt farmers on the Blatung Beach. As Chief of the BPD, he will summon the parties involved through headman to resolve the problem. But in essence, he remained to support salt farmers to perform their activities there because the presence of salt farmers

Chris Lee, a migrant from Hong Kong, poses at his restaurant in Taipei, Taiwan July 15, 2016. Picture taken July 15, 2016.
HONG KONG - When activists began setting fire to trash bins and hurling bricks at police during a February riot in Hong Kong, Chris Lee became more convinced his decision to leave his siblings and mother behind and move to Taiwan was the right one. Hong Kong, long known as one of the safest and most lawabiding cities in Asia, has become increasingly polarised with occasional violent protests, fuelled in part by tensions with Communist Party leaders in Beijing over the Chinese-ruled city’s democratic future. “It’s not just the politics that are messed up,” said Lee, who moved
to Taiwan in March and opened a restaurant. “It is also the people who have become irrational and fickle that drove me to leave.” Lee is not alone. Some 42 percent of Hong Kong residents want to leave, a survey by independent think tank Civic Exchange showed in June. This compares with 20 percent wanting to leave neighbouring Singapore. Seventy percent of 1,500 people surveyed said Hong Kong had become “worse” or “much worse” to live in, with the biggest concerns housing, the “quality of government” and education. The number of Hong Kong people emigrating to Canada almost
doubled in the first quarter of this year compared with the same period last year, and the number moving permanently to Taiwan rose 36 percent over a similar time frame, data shows. The most recent data from the United States is from 2014 and flat. Emigration to the UK has declined, but the minimum amount for those seeking to qualify for residency as investors there has also doubled to 2 million pounds ($2.64 million). Australia doesn’t provide data for Hong Kong but aggregate figures for emigrants from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and Mongolia rose slightly last year. (rtr)

SpaceX rocket lifts off on cargo run, then lands at launch site

CAPE CANAVERAL - An unmanned SpaceX rocket blasted off from Florida early on Monday to send a cargo ship to the International Space Station, then turned around and landed itself back at the launch site. The 23-story-tall Falcon 9 rocket, built and flown by Elon Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, lifted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 12:45 a.m. EDT (0445 GMT). Perched on top of the rocket was a Dragon capsule filled with nearly 5,000 pounds (2,268 kg) of food, supplies and equipment, including a miniature DNA sequencer, the first to fly in space. Also aboard the capsule was a metal docking ring of diameter 7.8 feet (2.4 m), that will be attached to the station, letting commercial spaceships under development by SpaceX and Boeing Co. ferry astronauts to the station, a $100-billion laboratory that flies about 250 miles (400 km) above Earth. The manned craft are scheduled to begin test flights next year. Since NASA retired its fleet of space shuttles five years ago, the United States has depended on Russia to ferry astronauts to and from the station, at a cost of more than $70 million per person. As the Dragon cargo ship began its two-day journey to the station, the main section of the Falcon 9 booster rocket separated and flew itself back to the ground, touching down a few miles south of its seaside launch pad, accompanied by a pair of sonic booms. “Good launch, good landing, Dragon is on its way,” said NASA mission commentator George Diller. Owned and operated by Musk, the technology entrepreneur who founded Tesla Motors Inc, SpaceX is developing rockets that can be refurbished and re-used, potentially slashing launch costs. With Monday’s touchdown, SpaceX has successfully landed Falcon rockets on the ground twice and on an ocean platform during three of its last four attempts. (rtr)

It also is at work on a manned mission to Mars. Though those are perhaps many decades away, “I’m anticipating that person will be riding on a Boeing rocket,” Muilenburg said. More immediately, Boeing is pressing for licenses to conclude sales of 109 aircraft to Iran, including leased jets, despite opposition from some in Congress. “This is a significant opportunity,” he said. “It does represent significant U.S. manufacturing jobs.” The company also is still working on plans for a so-called “middle of
the market” aircraft that could fill a gap in its product line between the 737 and the 787. Muilenburg said it might use “existing products, derivatives of existing products or an all new airplane” to fill the gap. “If it’s an all new airplane, we think that would probably be in the 2024-2025 time frame in terms of when it would be introduced into service,” he said. Muilenburg spoke with reporters at the beginning of a celebratory weekend of events for an estimated 100,000 employees, families and retirees at Boeing Field in Seattle. Muilenburg said Boeing is arguably stronger now than at any point in its 100-year history. It has a backlog of 5,700 plane orders, enough to keep its factories humming for six or seven years. (rtr)

Buleleng needs to increase street lighting SINGARAJA - The potential of traffic accident in Buleleng is quite large compared to other districts. Police considered the condition of road infrastructure mainly street lighting in rural areas has not been optimized. Chief of Buleleng Police Traffic Affairs, I Gede Sumadra Khertiawan, explained that public street lighting is needed when passing at night. The authority of provincial government is expected to pay more attention to road sections in need of lighting like in the East Buleleng, West Buleleng to the street corners around Gitgit and Sukasada subdistrict. Provision of street lighting can avoid motorists from accidents. Moreover, when it rains at night it can prevent incidents like landslides and fallen trees. “Traffic accidents in rural areas are potentially caused by less maximal infrastructure. The most obvious is street lighting, arrangement of shade trees and landslides. This vulnerability is one of the causes triggering high traffic accidents in our region,” said Khertiawan when confirmed by Bali Post via his mobile phone, Saturday (Jul. 16). He considered to have provided maximal dissemination and appeal on public discipline. Moreover, at the moment of new student admission can be inserted the understanding on traffic discipline. Briefing in the familiarization period (MPLS)
should be intensified at school for education. “New students are given the education on early prevention of traffic accident. They must understand the traffic signs for their safety,” he said. Every traffic accident, said Khertiawan, is always analyzed in terms of kilometer point, vulnerability, arrangement and anatomy of traffic accident from the point where it was avoided for more than once. “Traffic accidents in our region happen at different locations not at a single point. Vulnerable points are specially anticipated in order to avoid traffic accident as early as possible,” said Khertiawan. Based on the data at the Buleleng Police Headquarters, the number of traffic accident in 2015 is as follows: in January reached 27 traffic accidents consisting of seven fatalities, one severe injury and 44 minor injuries. In February occurred 34 traffic incidents, with 11 fatalities, one severe injury and 51 minor injuries. In March occurred 23 traffic incidents consisting of nine fatalities, no severe injury and 40 minor injuries. In April occurred 23 traffic accidents with four fatalities, no severe injury and 40 minor injuries. In

French ambassador visits Bali
Discusses about renewable energy
SEATTLE - The Boeing Co marked its centennial on Friday with plans to sharpen its focus on innovation, including ambitious projects for supersonic commercial flight and a rocket that could carry humans to other planets. But innovation at Boeing will be “disciplined” and not endanger the future of the world’s biggest plane maker, Chief Executive Dennis Muilenburg told reporters at an event marking the company’s founding on July 15, 1916. The enterprise established by William Boeing in a Seattle boathouse has faced numerous “bet the company” moments over its 10 decades to bring out new planes such as the 707 and 747. “We have won for 100 years because of innovation,” Muilenburg said. “The key is disciplined innovation. We’ll take risks. We’ll invest smartly.” Chicago-based Boeing has managed to stay ahead of European rival Airbus in plane production and is a major defense and space contractor,

He also reminded all the people rejecting the reclamation of remaining consistent and never being easily provoked and hoaxed by proreclamation party that promotes disunity.

‘Ghostbusters’ Debuts to $46 Million, ‘Secret Life of Pets’ Tops Charts
LOS ANGELES - Paul Feig’s “Ghostbusters” reboot has triggered intense debate over its decision to refashion the proton pack-wielding paranormal investigators as an all-female team. For some, the movie has been a feminist rallying cry; for others, a pop culture desecration. It’s also provided ample opportunity for internet trolls to engage in some misogyny. After all the chatter and the gender politics, “Ghostbusters” debuted this weekend to a solid $46 million from 3,962 locations. Sony hailed the results as evidence that audiences were responding to its new take on the decades-old property. But though it ranks as the best debut for a liveaction comedy in over a year, the film
will have to show some endurance, as well as resonate with foreign audiences, to make a profit. After all, dusting off the ectoplasm was expensive, with Sony shelling out $144 million to make “Ghostbusters” and millions more to market the film. That tops what most comedies cost to produce and distribute. Sony has been trying to get another “Ghostbusters” off the ground for decades, but it has often been the victim of original star Bill Murray’s mercurial vetting process.

President Joko Widodo urged calm as public uproar intensified over revelations that health officials knew about the syndicate producing the fake vaccines for several years but did little to stop it. The scandal has exposed major weaknesses in the government’s oversight of the health sector, which has expanded rapidly alongside a growing middle class. No illnesses or deaths have been directly linked to the fake vaccines, officials have said. “I want to ask people to stay calm because this incident happened over such a long time,” Widodo told reporters at a Jakarta clinic offering re-vaccinations. “We need more time to investigate so we can get the real data of people who suffered from these fake vaccines.” The ring used stolen vials and forged labels to make the fake medicine look like imported vaccines produced by GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi. State-owned Bio Farma produces nearly all vaccines available in Indonesia. The syndicate sold fake booster vaccines for hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough to at least 14 health facilities in Jakarta and elsewhere on Java island. Health officials said the sham vaccines contained the antibiotic gentamicin and saline solution and were not harmful and made up only 1 percent of total vaccines in Indonesia. Investigators are trying to determine how widely the fake drugs were distributed.
Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, is clearly designed to trigger a fresh array of sequels. “There absolutely will be more,” said Josh Greenstein, Sony’s marketing and distribution chief. “This is a restart of one of our most important brands.” The audience for the film skewed female, with women making up 54% of ticket buyers. It also resonated more strongly with older crowds, weaned on the 1984 original and its 1989 sequel, as 55% of the audience clocked in over the age of 25. Despite Greenstein’s optimism, some analysts argued the results were underwhelming. (rtr)
