Jennifer Lopez: NBC’s ‘Bye Bye Birdie’ evokes stage roots

PASADENA — Jennifer Lopez says NBC’s version of “Bye Bye Birdie” will bring the musical back to its stage roots. The story was somewhat “watered down” in the 1963 movie in which Janet Leigh played the role originated by Chita Rivera on Broadway in 1960, Lopez told a TV critics’ meeting Wednesday.

500 Kiosks Burned Down in Senen Market Fire

JAKARTA - Central Jakarta Police chief Sr. Comr. Dwiyono said 500 kiosks in Blocks III and I of Senen Market had been razed by fire. There were no reports of injuries or casualties.

Dwiyono said that as of 8 pm local time, Central Jakarta Fire Department still attempted to extinguish the fire in Block III and parts of Blocks I and II. Central Jakarta Police had deployed 400 personnel to arrange the traffic in the intersections of Senen Market and to secure the scene.

“The situation is under control and Jakarta Metro Police have sent reinforcement,” he said. Dwiyono said police will launch an investiga-

tion once the fire has been put out.

All traders and residents of the Senen Market of Block D are now still rescuing their goods after the morning fire at 04:15 Western Indonesian Time (WIB).

Two of them are Eni and Sukamto who owned a stall at Block

D ground floor. Eni saved her sewing machine and some fabrics for her business. “All of them are safe now,” said Eni when met at the fire scene, Thursday, January 19, 2017.

Eni did not know exactly what started out the fire that vanquished the 2nd and 3rd floors of Senen Market. With her uncle, Sukamto, Eni arrived at the scene at 06:00 WIB. According to Eni, the floors that were on fire are the ones that sell the National Armed Forces’ (TNI) outfits and Civil Servants uniform; and also some second-

hand clothes.

Sukamto told Tempo that his stall had been burned down twice since he started selling in Senen Market. “When I was in Block 3, my loss reached Rp300 million.

But this time, eventhough our merchandises are safe, we still have six months left on the contract,” said Sukamto.

Same thing had been felt by Heri, a 38-year-old trader. He was forced to save his merchandises such as waist belt, sunglasses, wallets and other things. He claimed

that he just got news about the fire at 05:30 WIB. “We had just paid the contract for the stall, it was merely going on for two months now. The cost was Rp130 million per year,” said Heri.(ant) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

In the play, Rivera’s Rose encounters resistance from her boyfriend’s mother because she doesn’t want her son marrying someone with Puerto Rican roots, Lopez said.

That dynamic will be part of the live TV musical airing later this year, Lopez said. So will her character’s assertiveness about trying to steer her partner toward marriage, the actress said.

Lopez, who’s called “Bye Bye Birdie” a childhood favorite, said it’s a “great part for me to do. So here we go.”

She’s a busy woman, both on and off camera. Lopez stars in and is a producer for NBC’s police drama “Shades of Blue” and is a producer-judge on the network’s upcoming competition series, “World of Dance.”

“Bye Bye Birdie Live!” is the latest in what has become an annual live-musical holiday tradition for NBC, with last December’s “Hairspray Live!” the most recent production.

“Birdie” is an homage to circa-1950s rock ‘n’ roll mania and centers on the character Conrad Birdie, who is reminiscent of a young Elvis Presley. He was played on stage by Dick Gautier, who died last week at age 85. ABC aired a 1995 TV-movie version starring Jason Alexander and Vanessa Williams.(ap)

Environmental quality index of Bali at 60.86

River slightly contaminated, land cover still lacks

DENPASAR - Environmental quality index (IKLH) of Bali is currently in substantial level, namely 60.86. There are three indicators used in the calculation of IKLH namely the index of water quality, index of air quality and index of land cover. Only the index of air quality can be said to be good or clean from pollution.

“To reach the status of Bali as green province, the environmental quality index should reach 70. Air is relatively clean, but water and land cover need to be improved,” said the Head of the Bali Environmental Agency, Gede Suarjana, in the meeting of regional bylaw draft special committee for the regional mid-term development plan (RPJMD) Bali 2013-2018 and regional bylaw draft on Environmental Protection and Management (PPLH) at the Bali House of Representatives on Tuesday (Jan. 17).

Suarjana added that IKLH 70 can only be obtained if the water quality index reaches 70, the air quality index (90) and index of land cover (45). Currently, the water quality index is recorded at the level of 60.1, air quality index (82.86) and land cover index (36.86). Water quality index describes the condition of 401 rivers, chiefly 22 cross-district rivers that are in slightly contaminated. Some rivers even contributed to an average of 6-8 cubic meters of waste per day into the sea.

“This causes pressure on the sea, especially in the areas of tourist attraction,” he explained. In terms of land cover, added Suarjana, it still lacks because the percentage of forest land is only 22.7 percent. In the meantime, this acreage is impossible to increase.

On that account, the land cover needs to be pursued through the green open spaces and city parks. In addition to water quality and land cover, the other aspect is the concern for the environment that should also be improved.

“If we see the Environmental Concern Behavior Index, it shows the position at 0.42. So, the concern for the

environment remains very low,” he explained. Suarjana continued that technology alone is not enough to restore the environmental quality in order to be good. Local knowledge is also required to be applied in terms of social aspect, particularly in maintaining the upstream area.

A member of the special committee regional bylaw draft on RPJMD Bali 2013-2018 and regional bylaw draft on the PPLH Bali, Ida Bagus Pada Kusuma, specifically highlighted the land cover in Bali. From his observations, the trees widely planted today are no longer for supporting forest but for commercial purposes. Therefore, the Environment Agency needs to closely monitor so that a region can be planted effectively. “Empower effective plants that are really useful for soil or forests,” he said.

In the meantime, Chairman of the Special Committee, I Nyoman Adnyana, said that environmental problems are quite complex because they often have conflict with the development. Prevention efforts need to be formulated in the regional bylaw draft on the Environmental Protection and Management (PPLH).

“Our awareness is low and the damage is severe. On that account, we would like to formulate a regulation to reduce and overcome the existing problems. Secondly, we hope this formulation can be applied so that will not be useless.

Thus, the regional bylaw is made to regulate, and then can be applied,” he explained. (kmb32)

Indonesia currently faces ‘a warfare’ WARFARE does not necessarily involve armed conflicts, but it can also pose destruction of a country by damaging the elements which have made the country strong all this time. In reality, this condition happens to the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). This republic is now facing a ‘warfare’ without a weapon called cyber warfare (cyber war).

This was expressed by Major General (Ret) Dr. (HC) IGK Manila, in an exclusive interview with BaliTV, Bali Post and Indonesia Network. This Secretary of the Presidential Advisory Board Member explained that cyber war occurs when this country is faced with the uncontrolled technological advances.

“We are now facing cyber ??warfare where the social media has made play with our world. It is more hazardous than weapons and can destroy our state by attacking the ideology of Pancasila as well as political, social and economic aspect,” he said.

According to him, the war is no longer weapon against weapon, but the enemy will destroy Indonesia with armless model and tactics namely with the other models. One of which is the cyber warfare.

“Just imagine that our rupiah currency can be ridiculed and people commit defamation of religion. Other countries can stop it (cyber war), why cannot we? This happens due to the reading habit in Indonesia is 0.00 percent, but the ownership of hand phone is ranked fourth in the world. Supposed that we have IT, but without coupled with reading habit, we’ll be easily fooled,” he explained.

Through cyber warfare, he said that people of Indonesian cannot distinguish which is right and wrong. This condition has attacked everywhere to shake diversity with racial issues. “We are Unity in Diversity. Never try to uniform them. We must keep and maintain, so that it becomes a unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia,” he said.

This Bali’s leader hoped there would be soon a non-military legal instrument, so that such attack can be overcome. Indonesia may no longer lose an inch of the land. “We’ve lost two islands without bullets. People do not know and never feel that we are played off.

Imagine what will happen with this war next ten years,” he said.

On that occasion, IGK Manila also advised to maintain the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia to safeguard pluralism since each region has its own peculiarities. “Bung Karno prohibited high-rise buildings in Bali because he did not want the integrity and authenticity of Bali would disappear. Bali should not become Hawaii, so that do not compare to the other regions,” he concluded. (kmb27)

Old plan ’revived’

Underpass to be built at roundabout of Ngurah Rai Airport—toll road

DENPASAR - Now the government is planning the construction of an underpass at the roundabout of the Bali Mandara toll road-Ngurah Rai Airport.

Actually this plan is not something new because it is in the same package with the construction of Bali Mandara toll road in 2013. At that time, the underpass development was still left behind because the toll road workmanship was rushed by APEC event becoming the reason for the construction of Bali Mandara toll road.

“Its feasibility study has just been finished, and now we are preparing the detailed engineering design (DED),” said the Head of National Road Authority VIII, I Ketut Darmawahana, to Bali Post on Wednesday (Jan. 18).

Ketut estimated the length of

the underpass from Nusa Dua to Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai is approximately between 500 and 600 meters. The whole budget will be on the account of central government because it is a national road.

However, his authority could not determine how much budget is needed for it. “The budget is not set yet but will be calculated based on the DED,” he said briefly.

Chief of the Bali Development Planning Board (Bappeda), Research and Development, Putu Astawa, hoped the DED of underpass can have been completed this year.

Thus, the construction of the underpasses can be started in 2018. It also considers the traffic conditions in the roundabout in front of the Bali Mandara toll road and Ngurah Rai

Airport tending to be crowded.

“This must be found out a solution. People seem to be able to receive as the one at the Dewa Ruci, so that one of the solutions is underpass. Hopefully, we could have built in 2018. The construction will not take so long, a year is enough,” he said.

When interviewed separately, a member of Commission III of the Bali House of Representatives, I Wayan Adnyana, said the underpass plan has indeed existed since the initial plan of Bali Mandara toll road.

Due to pursuing the implementation of APEC, this underpasses could not be realized because there are a lot of utilities at the location so that it may take longer.

“It was the consideration at that

time. Then, it was made a roundabout with a larger size expected to be able to address the congestion problem approximately 3 to 5 years after the toll constructed. After that, it can be ascertained to face congestion,” said this Democratic Party politician.

As the impact, continued Adnyana, the Bali Mandara toll road will no longer be effective to break the bottleneck.

It is quite reasonable if the underpass plan is ‘revived’ today. However, the government must ensure the readiness of budget so that the underpass does not stop in a discourse only.

“In other words, indeed the solution is the underpass. It has been designed. But it must be accompanied with a plan and considering the funding capability. It cannot be separated,” he added.

Chairman of Commission III of the Bali House of Representatives, Nengah Tamba, supported the underpass plan in order to provide good facilities for people. Moreover, the airport area is significant point for tourism image of Bali.

Before returning to their home country, at least travelers can enjoy leniency towards the airport.

“Do not let us see travelers dropping off from their taxi and carrying suitcase because they worry about missing the plane. If they go to airport anxiously, it is not good. It will also have an impact on people’s mobility and government affairs.

But when it runs smoothly, it will be much nicer and more effective and efficient,” he concluded. (kmb32)

Classical fuses with punk to kick off Paris menswear shows PARIS — Subzero temperatures were an apt backdrop for fashionistas who arrived in Paris for the first day of warmly-wrapped fall/winter 2017 menswear fashion shows. The travelling press bid “ciao” to Milan and said “bonjour” to Paris — kicking off 50 fashion shows, endless parties, million-dollar business deals and the last leg of the menswear mania that will sweep the French capital for five days.

Powerhouse Valentino unveiled its couture-infused creations from the now-solo designer Pierpaolo Piccioli on Day 1 — and what a show it was. Here are the some highlights of Wednesday’s events in Paris: VALENTINO’S NEW BEGINNINGS

Rabies positive puppy bites three people

The normally-elitist, hierarchical seating was replaced so everyone sat in the front row. The house’s traditional menswear venue — the Hotel Salomon de Rothschild — was moved as well to a nearby town house with significantly fewer celebrities.

Above all, the new beginnings were found in the house’s more focused styles — with Piccioli producing Valentino’s strongest menswear show yet.

The theme was subversive: the dapper gentleman mixed with flashes of punk — and garments featured slogans evoking Jamie Reid of Sex Pistols fame. Slim bow ties came alongside multiple layering, while coats and caps seemed to channel a funky sneaker-wearing Sherlock Holmes.

But it was the stylish cut of the coats that made this collection stand out. Exaggerated lengths of sumptuous wool were used to produce long jackets — in monochrome and tartan — that added a weighty, dandy swagger to many of the looks.

a real affinity for Madame Carven and her vision of fashion,” Ruffieux said, referring to the fashion icon Marie-Louise Carven who founded the house in 1945.

FACETASM CHANNELS DIVERSITY, VOLUMES

The Tokyo-founded company Facetasm has won plaudits for its conceptual styles with hints of punk. Its name was based on its founder Hiromichi Ochiai’s idea of the varying angular sides of a diamond — angles that seem contrasting that yet produce an inner

harmony.Wednesday’s color-rich show was an example of this classic yet subversive theme.

Voluminous layering in contrasting patterns, hoods, headscarves and bubble jackets provided the contrasts. A silken slip with lace detailing jarred beautifully with a bright citrus yellow urban jacket, worn off one shoulder as if in a state of hurried (un)dress.

And a billowing tartan cape came in atypical vivid blue that cut a fine look because of the stylish generous lengths of fabric at the front. (ap)

TABANAN - Rabies bite case occurred in January 2017 for the second time in Tabanan. After the first case affecting a resident of Anyar village in Kediri, the second case happened to three people simultaneously at Grokgak Gede, Tabanan. A puppy bit the victims Putu Trisna Sani, 2, Nyoman Putri Giani, 10, and Kadek Sukerni, 15.

The three victims suffered minor bite wounds on right calf and left thumb.

Division Head of the Livestock and Animal Health at the Tabanan Agriculture Agency, I Made Arya Putra, said on Wednesday (Jan. 18) the bite incident happened on Tuesday (Jan. 17). The biting puppy is just a few months old and newly bought from Beringkit Market at the end of December 2016. “It belongs to species of Kintamani dog and bought at Beringkit Market last December,” he said.

The puppy is known to have not been vaccinated, and on Tuesday (Jan. 17) was acting strangely and then bit three people who were in the house at once. Seeing such suspicious symptom, the dog owner, Edi, then reported the case to Tabanan Livestock Agency. After that, the agency came down to location and found the indication leading to rabies on the puppy so that it was decided to eliminate, and the brain sample was taken for examination. As a result, the puppy was positive to rabies.

Regarding this incident, Arya appealed to the public to be careful in buying a dog and may not trans-

fer or take any dog from one district to another district. “When buying, make sure the dog has got rabies vaccine by requesting its medical record. More importantly, do not move any dogs from one district to another district,” he explained.

In the meantime, Division Head of P2MPL at the Tabanan Health Agency, Ketut Nariana, explained that the three victims bitten already got treatment on the wounds and first anti-rabies vaccine (VAR).

Moreover, the joint team of the province and district has come down to location to provide dissemination regarding rabies.

He emphasized that to handle dog bite case must wash the wound first with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes before being taken to the nearest health providers. This measure can at least reduce the amount of virus that enters the body.

On the other hand, he also asserted that VAR is not always given in the case of dog bite. It is only given in positive cases based on laboratory tests. To that end, the people bitten are expected to report immediately and keep track the biting dog so that it can be eliminated and brain samples can be examined. However, if the dog bite does not show symptoms of illness, it can be observed for at least a week. When the dog dies within a week, it means the dog is positive to rabies and can be reported to the nearest rabies center for examination of samples and the victim get VAR. (kmb24)

Carven has named former Dior head studio designer Serge Ruffieux as its new creative director, taking over its womenswear designs next month. Ruffieux came out of the creative shadows briefly in 2016 to hold the spotlight at Christian Dior, for which he co-designed the praised Avenue Montaigne couture show. He also won notice for his time as the right-hand man of the late French designer Sonia Rykiel.

“I am thrilled to embrace my new creative role at Carven, feeling

To avoid overproduction

Farmers must map out planting pattern BANGLI- All this time, farmers cultivating fruits and vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes, tangerines et cetera are frequently faced with overproduction during massive harvest. Moreover, due to abundant agricultural products, farmers are even unable to sell so that they let theirs perish. To avoid this condition, farmers must be smart in managing their plants. It is meant to prevent overproduction and losses from happening again.

Head of the Bangli Agriculture and Fishery Agency, I Wayan Sukartana, said that farmers must be observant in the mapping of plant. In other words, if they are now planting cabbage, later on they must plant others like mustard. “It must be anticipated by strategies of mapping the production capacity.

In this sense, farmers must perform mapping of the cropping pattern. So far, we see that farmers only consider to plant commodities having great potential and their produce can be sold without mapping system. If planting cabbage, they will not plant other commodities. Actually, such planting is technically less perfect,” said Sukartana on Wednesday (Jan. 18).

Sukartana hoped that in the future his agency could apply cropping pattern to production areas, in this case the farmers. For instance, Songan is ideal for particular potential commodities. The area must be divided in such a way for cultivation of chili, cabbage, tomatoes et cetera. Thus, it can be mutually substituted. “Since vegetables and fruits are perishable commodities, there should be a mapping for the planting,” he said.

He added that to overcome this there must be a commitment of farmers to their collectors. For example, farmers sometimes underprice their produce when over-production occurs, but when the selling price is expensive they at times do not comply with the commitment. In a sense, they say to have no stock whereas they do. “This most frequently occurs at lower level. Otherwise, they will suffer losses, so that collectors have a strategy to lower the price,” he revealed.

Division Head of Food Crops and Plantation, Wayan Tegal Sujana, stated that farmers at lower level have speculative selling system. Farmers want to make money first, though technically his division suggested chiefly for fruit and vegetable production to be prepared continuously by pruning and thinning of the fruits. By this way, fruits will not be harvested once during the massive harvest. “By doing so, in terms of readiness and quality, the fruits produced can be better so that they can compete later on in the marketplace,” he said.

He suggested that vegetable farmers should dare to oppose the season. In this case, farmers dare to plant beyond the commodity’s season with the consequences of giving more intensive maintenance because vegetables are susceptible to rain. In rainy season, the price of vegetable is definitely higher, while in dry season will be cheaper. That happens because farmers cannot plant in rainy season due to high risk. Conversely, during dry season the harvest will be abundant and the price will go down.

“For example, in the current rainy season the price of chili is high because farmers cannot plant.

To anticipate this condition, mapping of planting is required. It is different from coffee and clove belonging to non-perishable commodity and can be stored longer. The longer they are stored the quality will be even getting better. So, farmers have to smartly read the situation and season mapping of the crops in other region,” explained Sujana. (kmb41)

Usaba mumu in at Bungaya village

To maintain peace, residents preserve tradition of ‘burning’ memedi

BUNGAYA customary village, Bebandem, Karangasem, is one of the old villages in Bali. Every customary and religious ritual at the village takes place uniquely. One of them can be seen in the implementation of usaba mumu or familiarly known as usaba memedi. It’s named as usaba memedi because the ritual is marked with the ‘burning’ of memedi (spirits). The procession is carried out amid the pounding sounds of kulkul (wooden split drum) throughout customary hamlet and clan temples at night. How does the implementation look like?

Usaba mumu is held once a year falling in January (Balinese seventh month).

This year, peak of the implementation took place on Wednesday (Jan. 18).

Fifteen days in advance, residents have looked for ritual paraphernalia ingredients such as young coconut leaf, fruit, palm leaf and others at local customary village.

Then, three days before the peak of procession, all the people create the figure of memedi made from various leaves, such as the leaf of aba, bamboo, eggplant and pulet. The leaves are arranged in such a way to form humanoid figure coming with tribal marking by using lime betel.

“This paraphernalia is ritualized first in the morning at respective family temple. At night, it is taken out for the ritual procession,” said the apparatus of Bungaya customary village, I Gede Adi Krisna Widana, just before the peak of the ritual began.

At the peak of usaba mumu, thousands of families at Bungaya village have been busy with ritual preparations from the morning. Krisna said that beNgusaba Mumu

fore sunrise, the whole customary village apparatus come out to village temple or Bale Agung temple to prepare all means of rituals such as pras daksina, bayuan and kelanan.

In the meantime, all people have prepared ritual paraphernalia known as penyagaan (guard) made from palm tree stem from the morning. It is made to resemble a human figure decorated with various means such as coconut leaf arrangement and wild cherry fruit. The penyagaan means that people must be able to control their passions as preparation to pay homage.

The guard figure is placed in front of their respective alley. It will be dismantled at midday, after going through particular ritual. “According to local belief, all the guard figures can later be mounted again in paddy fields or anywhere in order to avoid any catastrophe,” said Krisna.

In the afternoon, the whole community, especially women, will say prayers at Pemuhunan Temple. This temple is quite unique located under a sacred banyan tree without any shrines. Prior

to the prayers, thousands of women are sitting around a banyan tree along with their offerings before the worship around 22:00 On the other hand, men are preparing the memedi figure that will be burned at the location of guard figure in the morning. After completing the ritual at the Pemuhunan Temple, then memedi figure is burned simultaneously marked with the sounds of kulkul at 15 customary hamlets and clan temples that keep pounding until the procession is over.

Burning the memedi figure has the meaning of burning all the natures of anger and negative traits in human beings, so that people can live harmonious and peaceful life.

The ashes are ritualized again after formed into human figure at the location of burning. When everything is over, the offerings prepared are immediately offered at the ash-made figure. “After the procession, it usually rains at the night symbolizing if the ritual has run smoothly,” said Krisna.

Three days after this procession, the entire local residents say prayers at the village temple. This process is called ngelisin where all pilgrims invoke holy water. After making introspection for three days, all the local people go through life with a new atmosphere.

Basically, this procession symbolizes the journey of self-control and restores the butha kala to maintain the balance of macrocosm and microcosm. (gik)

Were opportunities for clues from MH370 debris missed?

SYDNEY — Three nations shelled out around $160 million and years’ worth of work on the underwater search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. The result: No plane. The only tangible — and arguably most important — clues into what happened to the aircraft have come courtesy of ordinary citizens, who bore the costs themselves.

The deep-sea sonar search for the vanished Boeing 777 was suspended on Tuesday after officials conceded defeat following the most expensive, complex aviation search in history.

But while search crews spent years trawling in futility through a remote patch of the Indian Ocean, people wandering along beaches thousands of kilometers (miles) away began spotting pieces of the plane that had washed ashore.

Those pieces have provided crucial information to investigators and prompted some to question whether Malaysia, Australia and China — who funded the hunt for the underwater wreckage — missed key opportunities by failing to organize coastal searches for the remnants that drifted to distant shorelines.

“It would have been good to have been getting people looking for debris,” said David Griffin, an Australian government oceanographer who worked on an analysis of how the debris drifted in a bid to pinpoint where the plane crashed. “I think that was a job that fell between the cracks of whose responsibility it was.”

Since the plane vanished on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014, more than 20 pieces of debris confirmed or believed likely to have come from the aircraft have turned up on beaches along the east coast of Africa and on islands including Madagascar. All of the parts have been found by local residents and tourists who stumbled upon them, and by Blaine Gibson, an American amateur sleuth who launched his own, self-funded hunt for debris after working with oceanographers to estimate where bits of the plane may have ended up.

Several family members of Flight 370’s passengers asked officials to launch a search along the coastlines for parts of the plane. When their pleas went unheeded, they banded together and traveled to Madagascar to encourage residents to keep an eye out for more debris. The family members, who covered all their travel expenses themselves, even offered a potential reward to anyone who found a piece of Flight 370.

Grace Nathan, a Malaysian whose mother was on board Flight 370, was among those who made the trip to Madagascar last month. She is deeply frustrated that the families felt compelled to take on the task themselves, and that the underwater search yielded nothing. “Every single clue to date has been found by private individuals by chance,” Nathan said. “Not a single piece of hard evidence has been found by the official search.”

Nathan believes the governments’ failure to search for coastal debris may have resulted in missed clues. “They should have done more to initiate something like what we did,” she said. “We are laypeople.

We don’t have the kind of reach they have, we don’t have the kind of contacts that they have.”

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau, which led the search for the underwater wreckage, said Thursday that it’s impossible to know whether organized searches of the coastlines would have yielded more debris.

“The dynamic nature of the ocean means that items are continually being cast ashore and carried away again — a beach cannot simply be ticked off as ‘searched’ at a single point in time,” the agency said in

Wang Yulian, whose daughter was among passengers onboard Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which went missing in 2014, cries as relatives arrive for a meeting with the airline representatives in Beijing, China January 18, 2017. a statement. “What has helped significantly is the substantial public awareness since early 2016 of the possibility of debris from MH370 being washed up on beaches bounding the western Indian Ocean which has resulted in many people coming forward with finds.”

Initially, experts believed that the pieces washing ashore would be virtually useless to the investigation.

Too much time had passed, they argued, and ocean currents are too volatile to make it possible to trace the pieces back to their origin.

Yet the recovered parts of the plane provided valuable insight into what happened to it. They confirmed, firstly, that the aircraft went down somewhere in the Indian Ocean. Before the first part — a piece of airplane wing known as

a flaperon — was discovered on Reunion Island, farther east of Madagascar, in 2015, some people continued to insist the plane had flown north into Asia, rather than heading south. The flaperon effectively killed that theory and bolstered the investigators’ interpretation of satellite data that indicated the plane had ended up somewhere along a vast arc slicing across the Indian Ocean.

A wing flap that washed up in Tanzania also gave investigators clues into what happened in the final moments of the plane’s flight. No one knows why the aircraft veered so far off-course after takeoff and turned south into the Indian Ocean, though Malaysian officials have said the plane’s erratic movements after takeoff were consistent with deliber-

ate actions. Investigators operated on the theory that the plane was on autopilot in its final hours before it ran out of fuel and plummeted into the sea.

A key question was whether anyone was still at the controls when the plane hit the water, which would affect how far the plane could glide after running out of fuel. Critics who favor the theory that Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah hijacked the plane say he could have made a controlled ditch at sea in order to minimize debris and help the plane disappear as completely as possible.

But an analysis of the wing flap

by Australian investigators suggested it had not been deployed when it hit the water. A pilot attempting a soft landing would have extended the flaps. (ap)

91-year-old man to attend 18th presidential inauguration SALEM, N.J. — Although he’s a Democrat who voted for Hillary Clinton, a 91-year-old New Jersey man will still be traveling to Washington to witness his 18th presidential inauguration in person.

WCAU-TV reports (http://bit.ly/2k2DbtZ ) B. Harold Smick Jr. still can vividly remember Jan. 20, 1941 — the day he witnessed Franklin D. Roosevelt become the only U.S. president sworn into a third term.

That inauguration was the first for the Salem native, who was just 15 when he began the tradition that he will continue on Friday.

Lebanon gets a new government, now it needs a new economy

BEIRUT - After years of political deadlock, Lebanon finally has a new government. Now it needs a new economy.

Battered by war in neighbouring Syria, neglected by wrangling politicians and caught in rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the pillars of the economy - remittances from overseas workers, tourism and real estate - are not what they were.

Long-term, Lebanon is searching for new sources of growth, which fell from 8-9 percent to below 2 percent when Syria’s civil war began in 2011. Beirut is working to start oil and gas exploration, offering support to technology start-ups and urging its vast diaspora to bring their brains and bank accounts home.

But before these dreams can be realised, the government, which started work in the new year after the country spent 2-1/2-years without a president, has an urgent to-do list.

The country’s infrastructure has been awaiting repair since the 15year civil war ended in 1990: roads are clogged with cars, beaches are littered with waste, internet links are slow or patchy and cuts to power and water supplies are frequent.

Reams of legislation, such as a hydrocarbon industry tax law and the privatisation of the stock market, await completion. Top of Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s list is a budget, which the country has not had since 2005, and a better environment for business, his economic adviser Mazen Hanna told Reuters.

The cabinet encompasses most sides of the country’s political spectrum and all of its religious sects, making any agreement a challenge.

“The first sign of the government’s seriousness is if they will pass a new budget,” Hanna said. “This is the priority now.”

Without one, there will be little chance of tackling Lebanon’s growing fiscal deficit and debt-toGDP ratio, forecast by the World Bank at 155 percent this year, the third highest in the world.

The government’s term may be as short as five months if longoverdue parliamentary elections take place on time, but Hanna said it can work on telecoms and the electricity shortages that drive people to hook up to expensive

private generators.

It also plans to resolve problems with rubbish disposal which spurred anti-government protests last year and the cabinet includes an anti-corruption minister for the first time.

The fate of Lebanon’s economy is important not only for the livelihoods of 4 million Lebanese, but for avoiding even more chaos in the Middle East: the country is home to more than one million Syrian refugees and half a million Palestinian refugees, and has its own history of instability.

CENTRAL BANK ROLE Following its 1975-90 civil war, much of Lebanon’s reconstruction focused on reestablishing its tourism image as “the Paris of the Middle East”, particularly for wealthy Gulf Arabs.

Beirut’s cooler climate and less restrictive social mores are a big draw for people from conservative Saudi Arabia, but bouts of civil strife, assassinations, deadlocked government and regional rivalries are still taking their toll.

An executive at a luxury hotel in Beirut last summer lamented the dearth of wealthy Gulf Arabs and their $3,000 room service bills.

Saudi Arabia advised citizens last February against travel to Lebanon, part of a dispute over the powerful role of the Iranian-backed Lebanese Shi’ite group Hezbollah.

President Michel Aoun, a Christian ally of Hezbollah, said after a fence-mending visit to Riyadh this month he was confident Gulf tourists would return.

In the absence of political leadership, the central bank has quietly steered policy, using stimulus packages and financial engineering to keep foreign reserves stable and growth ticking over.

It has also guaranteed housing, energy and business loans, testing the globally accepted principle of central bank distance from political decisions.

“This has kept the economy growing for the last five to ten years,” said Marianne Hoayek, an executive director at the central bank. “The government sometimes

Cranes are seen at a construction site at Beirut’s central district in Lebanon January 4, 2017.

Picture taken January 4, 2017. is not capable of doing what it wants to do.”

A central bank directive in 2013 called Circular 331 made $600 million available for investment in the “knowledge economy” and Lebanon now markets itself as the Middle East and North Africa’s technology and start-up hub, a title to which the UAE and Jordan also aspire. Hoayek said around $100 million had been taken up so far.

Marwan Kheireddine, chairman of Mawarid Bank which invests in tech businesses, said ten years ago entrepreneurs would have had to leave Lebanon to find funding and other support.

“Today we have all the building blocks required (for) those entrepreneurs to develop locally,” he said. At least eight new investment funds, four new fund managers and multiple jobs have been created, those in the sector say.

“I wouldn’t have come back without Circular 331,” said Sami Abou Saab, who returned from the United States and now heads SPEED, an accelerator which helps small business grow with advice, contacts and other services.

EXPAT FIREPOWER An estimated 14-16 million people of Lebanese citizenship or descent live outside the country, driven out by the sectarian strife that fuelled the civil war and still disrupts the peace. Many send money home, although remittances have been hit by the effect of the low oil price on Gulf economies.

“We can sell, we are creative and we are engineers,” said Nicolas Sehnaoui, chairman of the UKLebanon Tech Hub, which says it created around 240 jobs in its first two years and aims for 25,000 by 2025. “Instead of shipping our people out we want to ship our digital products out.”

But a tech-based economy needs fast internet and reliable electricity and the stock market needs to be privatised so smaller companies can go public, a process already two years behind schedule.

Both the World Bank and the Association of Banks in Lebanon have said the central bank cannot hold the fort alone.

“The Bank of Lebanon and the country’s banks have spent enough

time, sometimes at great cost, preserving monetary stability. It is time to support this stability with fiscal and economic policies which favour real growth,” ABL’s head Joseph Torbey said.

Hanna told Reuters he hopes the new government can itself eventually provide such stimulus measures.

In the meantime, Foreign Minister Gibran Bassil toured South America late last year to try to persuade Lebanese there to return home. Real estate company Demco Properties has widened the effort.

Its “Lebanon is calling” advert broadcast on U.S. television shows a Lebanese businessman in an office with a commanding view of a U.S. city receiving a call from a deep-voiced Lebanon, which tells him: “I’m back on my feet again” and “Home is waiting”. Lebanon’s residents have waited a long time for effective government and the stakes are high.

“The solutions are there, today we have a political will,” Hanna said. “Let’s hope it materializes into tangible results for the Lebanese.”(rtr)

Saraswati Day, Worship God as Creator of Science

5

Hindu community in Bali will celebrate Saraswati feast day on Saturday and Banyupinaruh Day on Sunday.

Both feast days fall every six months (210 days). Saraswati Day falling on Saniscara Umanis Watugunung aims to worship the Goddess Saraswati as the creator of science.

On that day, pupils, college students, teachers, lecturers, priests and other Hindu communities perform worship. All manuscripts mainly palm-leaf manuscripts, the Vedas, religious literature and books as source of knowledge are consecrated and given the offerings. By and large, books are consecrated on satvika time when the sun rises. At that time, the atmosphere is very calm and sunny.

In the meantime, rajasika time (noon, turbulent time) and tamasika time (evening, time of dimmer) are considered not good.

“Goddess Saraswati is symbolized as a very beautiful and charming goddess. This implies that science is beautiful because it can lead humans to perfect well-being,” said Jero Mangku Ketut Arthana.

Goddess Saraswati has four hands and each carries beads (rosary), manuscript, veena (musical instrument) and kumbhaja (lotus).

Besides, she also has vehicle in the form of lotus accompanied by peacock and swan. “On the Saraswati day, Hindu devotees are generally not allowed to read a book as they are carrying abstinence of Saraswati in the low, intermediate and high level,” he said.

For Hindus, the Saraswati feast day is the coming down of science celebrated by the presentation of offerings and worship to God as an expression of gratitude. In a series of the ceremony, devotees prepare herbal drink and pradnyan rice. Eating the rice and consuming the herbal drink symbolize to experience the ups and down of life. “By bringing together all the flavors, it is believed to create a peaceful mind,” he said.

READ Shivaratri as Sin Redemption Night, Perform Main Abstinences Balinese community celebrates Saraswati uniquely because on the next day there is also a series of ceremony. They consist of Banyupinaruh on Redite (Sunday) Paing.

“Banyupinaruh is derived from two words, namely banyu meaning ‘water’ and pinaruh meaning keweruhan or knowledge coming down on the previous day (on Saraswati) to be distributed to all parties. If developed well, it will be more beneficial,” he explained.

At the ceremony of Banyupinaruh, devotees flock the springs or water sources to do self-purification. The springs means the

source where the water flows from, they may be shower, lakes or seas. On that account, young people today take advantage of the Banyupinaruh feast day to travel with friends, family and girlfriend or boyfriend.

Saraswati, Banyu Pinaruh, Soma Ribek on Monday and Pagerwesi on Buda Kliwon Sinta, Wednesday has close relationship to Saraswati. Celebration of the Saraswati is closely associated with Pagerwesi. If on Saraswati day the Hindus worship the Goddess Saraswati as the goddess blessing the science, in the next morning they perform Banyu Pinaruh.

This holy day has a philosophy that sci-

ence flows like water and cools down humans so that they need to learn it in depth. On this day, devotees do self-purification with a shower and shampoo in source of holy water such as lakes, ocean or tributaries.

After the Banyupinaruh is Soma Ribek, meaning that when humans have already obtained the knowledge and possessed skills, they will be very valuable when they are used positively in order to bring in changes to society. Ultimately, Pagerwesi is a celebration after humans apply their knowledge so that they can become quality teachers (role model) in delivering their knowledge to the broadest community. (kmb)

Philippines, communist rebels resume peace talks in Rome

MANILA — Philippine negotiators and communist guerrillas are set to resume peace talks in Rome on Thursday, with the Maoist insurgents warning that alleged government violations of an accord on human rights may prompt them to end a monthslong ceasefire.

The presidential adviser to the talks, Jesus Dureza, said the government is optimistic “with managed expectations” about the resumption of the Norwaybrokered negotiations in the Italian capital.

“These issues, although difficult, are surmountable with both sides sharing common aspirations for peace,” Dureza said in a statement.

Rebel chief negotiator Fidel Agcaoili was less optimistic, saying the guerrillas have raised a number of complaints, including alleged government breaches of a 1998 accord on respecting human rights and another pact on the safety of guerrilla consultants.

Agcaoili said the complaints, including the failure to release nearly 400 detainees the rebels consider political prisoners, made extending a five-month cease-fire “untenable.”

The guerrillas also expressed concern over President Rodrigo Duterte’s brutal crackdown on illegal drugs, which have left thousands of drug suspects dead, and his decision to allow the burial of dictator Ferdinand Marcos in a heroes’ cemetery in November, Agcaoili said.

Innocent people have been killed in Duterte’s crackdown “due to brutal, reckless and indiscriminate methods employed by the police in its anti-drug operations,” Agcaoili said. Duterte must shift his priority to solving the larger problem of poverty through social and economic reforms, which are the main focus of this week’s round of talks, he said.

The guerrillas have accused government troops of violating a ceasefire by occupying schools, village halls and other civilian areas and conducting illegal searches, questionings and surveillance of suspected rebel supporters. The military has denied the allegations.

Founded in 1968, the rebels’ Communist Party has held peace talks with six Philippine presidents, including Duterte, whose rise to power in June sparked rebel optimism due to his searing anti-U.S. rhetoric and populist pro-poor stance.

Battle setbacks, surrenders and infighting have weakened the rebel group, which is blacklisted as a terrorist organization by the United States.

A confidential Philippine government assessment obtained by The Associated Press says the number of guerrillas declined to 3,800 with more than 4,500 firearms in the first half of 2016, with about 700 of the country’s 42,000 villages affected by the insurgency. Sporadic fighting has left about 40,000 combatants and civilians dead since the rural-based insurgency erupted. (ap)

At least 24 children killed when bus, truck collide in India

LUCKNOW — A truck loaded with sand collided with a school bus early Thursday, killing at least 24 young children in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, police said.

At least two dozen other children were injured in the collision when the speeding truck collided head-on with the bus, said Javeed Ahmed, the state’s top police official.

The children, between the ages of 3 and 12, were studying at a school in the town of Etah. Another police officer, Daljeet Chaudhry, said visibility was low due to dense fog.

Ahmed said rescuers were work-

ing to free several children still trapped in the wreckage. The state’s education authorities had closed all schools in the district due to a severe cold wave, and Ahmed said authorities would check why the school had stayed open.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted his condolences, saying: “Anguished by tragic accident in UP’s Etah. I share the pain of the bereaved families & condole (the) passing away of young children.”

Accidents are common on Indian roads, with most blamed on reckless driving, poorly maintained roads and aging vehicles. (ap)

JAKARTA - Minister of Foreign Affairs Retno Marsudi will attend an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Thursday in Kuala Lumpur to discuss humanitarian issues in Rakhine, Myanmar.

“The foreign minister will attend the OIC emergency meeting in Kuala Lumpur on January 19. This meeting aims to discuss possible measures by the OIC in response to the situation in Rakhine,” Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesman Arrmanatha Nasir said Wednesday.

After attending the OIC emergency meeting, the foreign minister will make a working visit to Myanmar between January 20 to 22, 2017, he added.

The Indonesian governments main message at the meeting was to encourage OIC member countries to take constructive steps to support Myanmar in order to resolve the problems in Rakhine, the Foreign Ministrys Expert Staff for Institutional Affairs, Salman Al Farisi, said.

“We will deliver a range of measures that Indonesia will present to the government of Myanmar. We expect this to be an incentive for the other OIC countries to take similar

steps, particularly in its important role of promoting inclusive development in the country,” Al Farisi said.

The Indonesian government will encourage the OIC to cooperate with ASEAN in order to help and support Myanmar, he added.

Foreign Minister Marsudi had promised additional aid for Myanmar to help address the humanitarian problems in Rakhine state, Al Farisi further mentioned.

“On December 29, 2016 President Joko Widodo oversaw the delivery of 10 containers full of humanitarian aid from Indonesia that consisted of food, gloves and other items. On January 21, the aid will be formally handed over by the foreign minister and will officially be received by Myanmars Social Affairs Minister and Rakhines Chief Minister,” Al Farisi said.

The OIC emergency meeting in Kuala Lumpur is expected to issue two documents. The first document is a joint communique that is expected to contain the various measures that can be taken to help Myanmar. The second is a resolution from OIC members that will convey the position of the organization with regards to the problems in Rakhine. (ant)

Diversity can be threat to the nation says police chief BANDUNG - Diversity is not always an asset, it can also be a threat if not managed properly, according to Indonesian National Police (Polri) Chief General Tito Karnavian. The Polri chief made the comments during a public lecture at the Institute of Public Administration (IPDN) in Jatinangor, Sumedang District, West Java, on Wednesday.

The country that has a high level of diversity must be managed wisely in order for that diversity to not become a major threat, he added. The diversity of the country enriches the color of the Indonesian nation; therefore it must be managed and maintained appropriately, said Karnavian.

In his lecture, he suggested that human civilization has been formed by empires and kingdoms from the beginning to the current time. “Indonesia experienced a period of colonization by a western empire,” he added.

He proposed that an empire would create a strong military that can defend national territory, as well as an effective police force and intelligence service that will maintain internal order and prevent social upheaval.

A powerful but corruption free bureaucratic system is also essential in order for the country to run well, he said.

“We must have strong and clean politicians, the role of IPDN and the Police Academy is very important with regards to maintaining a strong police force, Akmil has a very important role,” Karnavian added.

He also highlighted the role of IPDN in training future bureaucrats that can run a clean and effective government.

“The role of IPDN is to train cadres on how to establish clean governments and efficient bureaucratic systems, this is really very important,” the police chief said.(ant)

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo discussed the topic of diversity and maintaining unity with two Christian organizations, the Council of Churches in Indonesian and Bishops Conference of Indonesia. He invited both groups to discuss the issue at the Presidential Palace of Jakarta, according to Secretary of State Pratikno on Wednesday.

“The President asked for input from both organizations concerning the issue. They talked about multiculturalism, the education sector and religion,” Pratikno said. The Secretary of State accompanied Jokowi during the meeting with the two groups.

During the discussion, the President and the Christian organizations agreed that the government needs to better promote religious values.

“They asked for religion to be made a priority, as well

as for the implementation of Pancasila. Both organizations will support the establishment of a working unit for promoting Pancasila,” Pratikno said. However, Jokowi and the envoys did not discuss the issues of blasphemy and mass demonstrations during the meeting, he added.

The President also said that Indonesia will always be strict in enforcing its laws in order to reduce crime.

Jokowi has previously invited the leaders of two Islamic organizations, Said Aqil Siradj from Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah from Haedar Nashir, to meet with him regarding similar topics.

During a lunch meeting with Siradj, they discussed issues relating to politics and ways of avoiding intolerance. The President also discussed efforts to promote social justice for the development of the nation with Nashir. He has also had meetings on how to improve economic conditions in rural areas by empowering local people. (ant)

Embiid scores 26, 76ers beat Raptors 94-89

PHILADELPHIA — Joel Embiid cupped both ears, imploring fans to cheer even louder, and flashed a wide smile as he soaked in the “MVP” and “Trust The Process” chants. With Embiid leading the way, the Philadelphia 76ers are no longer the laughingstock of the NBA. Embiid scored 26 points, Ersan Ilyasova added 18 and the resurgent Sixers beat the Toronto Raptors 94-89 on Wednesday night for their seventh win in nine games.

“I’m trying to change the culture and I like to get the fans into it,” Embiid said. “I play better when the fans are chanting and cheering for us. That’s what I love. The fans have been great.”

Embiid, who was questionable because of the flu, surpassed 20 points in fewer than 30 minutes in his 10th straight game.

The Sixers are only 14-26, but they have rejuvenated a city that has patiently waited for a winner through three miserable seasons.

“The fans are fantastic,” coach Brett Brown said. “We’re all starving for success, some good feelings, some wins. And then to feel it, it’s addictive. These fans deserve it. They’re dying for us to get this right.”

DeMar DeRozan scored 25 for the Atlantic Division-leading Raptors, and Kyle Lowry had 24 points. After DeRozan gave Toronto an 86-85 lead, Embiid made a tying free throw. Embiid then grabbed a rebound after DeRozan missed a jumper and T.J. McConnell’s layup put Philadelphia ahead 88-86 with 1:09 left. Cory Joseph missed a 3-pointer on Toronto’s ensuing possession and McConnell sank a pair of free throws. Embiid then blocked

It is strategically located beside of the main road from Denpasar to Ubud. For over a thousand years, Batuan has been a village of artists and craftsmen, old legends and mysterious tales. Batuan Temple were founded in the year 944 isaka (1020 AD). Nearly 1000 years old.The Batuan Temple is a Puseh Temple category based on the concept of “Tri Kahyangan or Tri Murti” taught by Mpu Kuturan around the 10th century to the Balinese Hindu community at the time.

Tri Kahyangan or Tri Murti including 3 temples : Desa or Village Temple as a place to worship of God Brahma (the Creator), Puseh Temple to worship of God Vishnu (the Preserver), Dalem Temple to worship of Lord Shiva (the Destroyer).

The name “Batuan” or “Baturan” mentioned here prompts villagers to joke about being “tough as stone” or “eating rocks” as batu means “stone” in Balinese. But it likely refers to an ancient megalithic tradition in which standing stones served as meeting places and ceremonial sites for the worship of ancestral spirits. Because Batuan became a center from which Buddhist priests and brahmans spread to the main court centers of south Bali, the village has an unusual pre-

ponderance of brahman.

Not all existing buildings were old buildings here, there are some that have undergone renovation, renewal, and change from 10th century to 13th century and also 18th century AD. The structure and foundation of this temple are very tough and strong. It has the original Balinese ornament that beautifully craved on every building at this temple area.

Some ornaments are reflection of The Ramayana Epic story and every holy building has different function philosophically.

Lowry’s shot and sent fans into a frenzy.

Coming off a 36-point performance in a win at Brooklyn a night earlier, DeRozan missed his first six shots but finished strong with 14 points in the fourth quarter.

“We didn’t play physical enough.” Lowry said.

“They played with passion and energy. That’s one thing they got us on.”

Embiid put all his skills on display on consecutive possessions early in the fourth quarter. He threw down a thunderous slam off a pass from Sergio Rodriguez and then nailed a 3-pointer from the top of the circle, earning a rousing ovation. Embiid opened his arms wide and raised them high in the air as fans went wild.

Dario Saric got the crowd on its feet screaming minutes later with consecutive blocked shots and then nailed a 3-pointer, pumping his fist twice as he went back on defense. “I like to bring energy,” Saric said.(ap) Toronto Raptors’ Jonas Valanciunas (17) has his shot blocked by Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid (21) during the first half of an NBA basketball game, Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2017, in Philadelphia.

Milos Raonic

MELBOURNE — Third-seeded Milos Raonic ended one streak and continued another with a 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (4) Thursday over Gilles Muller to reach the third round at the Australian Open. Raonic, who reached the semifinals here last year and the final at Wimbledon, had lost both previous matches to Muller — including one when he retired with an injured hip in the second round at Wimbledon in 2012.

His win Thursday maintained Raonic’s record of reaching the third round at least all seven years he has contested the Australian Open. The 33year-old Muller entered the season’s first major after capturing his first tourlevel title in Sydney last week.

Raonic was unable to defend his Brisbane title in the first week of the season, but is finding rhythm quickly in Melbourne — he fired 21 aces, hit 56 winners and only had 15 unforced errors against Muller. He left the court

complaining of a sore throat, and will get a day off before his next match against No. 25 Gilles Simon.

No. 15 Grigor Dimitrov, who beat Raonic in the semifinals before winning the Brisbane International earlier this month, moved into the third round with a 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win over Chung Hye-on. Dimitrov will next play No. 18 Richard Gasquet. No. 32 Philipp Kohlschreiber beat Donald Young 7-5, 6-3, 6-0.

David Ferrer, the former world No. 3 who has only missed the quarterfinals once in the previous six years at Melbourne Park, recovered to beat U.S. qualifier Ernesto Escobedo 2-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 and set up a third-round match against fellow Spaniard and No. 13-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut.

No. 30 Pablo Carreno Busta had a 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 win over Kyle Edmund to move into a third-round match against either six-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic or Denis Is-

tomin. U.S. Open finalist Karolina Pliskova and No. 9 Johanna Konta carried their winning form from warmup tournaments into the third round of the season’s first major. Brisbane International winner Pliskova beat Anna Blinkova 6-0, 6-2 in 59 minutes, and has dropped just four games en route to the third round.

She was leading 6-0, 4-0 in the opening match on Rod Laver Arena before the 18-year-old Russian qualifier, ranked 189th, held serve and later held up her arm to acknowledge the cheers from the crowd. “It’s always good to be in the zone,” said fifthseeded Pliskova. “It can always be a bit better.” “I’m feeling pretty good on the court, confident,” she said.

“Also, people are talking I have a good chance to win a Grand Slam, but we are just in third round, so let’s see.”

She will next play Jelena Ostapenko, who beat No. 31 Yulia Putintseva 6-3, 6-1.(ap)

Sp rt Survivors gather as Chape plays first game since fatal crash

CHAPECO — Slowly and steadily, Rafael Henzel will climb into the cramped space to broadcast Saturday’s friendly match for Brazilian club Chapecoense, the first since nearly the entire team was killed in an air crash almost two months ago. Only six of the 77 passengers survived — and Henzel was one of them.

“The stairway at the Arena Conda is very steep, but I have extra motivation to be in that stadium again and see players wearing our shirt, the fans. It won’t be that stairway that will stop me,” Henzel told The Associated Press after his morning show on radio Oeste Capital.

Henzel has worked at Chapecoense matches since 2012, and is the voice of the team from the remote, southern Brazilian city of Chapeco. After 20 days in a hospital, seven broken ribs, multiple scars — one over his right eye— and worrisome pneumonia, Henzel went back to work at the radio station just over a week ago.

Now he’s making his second return — what he calls “Rafael 2.0” — in the match against Brazilian league champion Palmeiras, preparing to once again get behind the microphone at the tiny stadium. His left foot is in a cast, but that won’t stop him.

“When I woke up at the crash site, I became aware of what had happened,” he said, recalling the crash.

“Initially, I thought I was dreaming but then, shortly after, you start to realize that the plane had crashed.”

Three Chapecoense players survived — 19 were killed — when the plane slammed into the Andes mountains as it headed to the city of Medellin to face Colombian team Atletico Nacional in the Copa Sudamericana final — the No. 2 club tournament in South America.

All three hope to play again, in one fashion or another. And all three are expected for Chape’s debut on Saturday. Defender Neto, who spent more than 10

hours in the plane wreckage before being rescued, recently took his first steps without support.

He’s already visited the club and will be an inspiration for Chape’s new players in a busy season. Their 2017 commitments include defending their title in the Santa Catarina state league, keeping the team up in Brazil’s first division, playing for the first time in the prestigious Copa Libertadores — the continent’s No. 1 tournament — and fundraising in a pile of friendlies, including one against Barcelona.

“If I didn’t believe I could recover, I will get depressed,” Neto told reporters. “Doctors said I might return this year, but I don’t know whether my knees are still up for it,” Neto said in a press conference. “I will be here to give support to the players that come.

It’s not easy to represent all those who died, but I want to be fit to play so I can be more than a symbol. I want to make a real contribution.”

Winger Alan Ruschel is the player in best shape for a return. He expects to be back within six months, but no doctor says it will definitely happen. “I will do all that I can to play again, and I will be patient to get there,” Ruschel said. In tears, he said he has no recollection of the accident.

“I was in the front seats, then I changed with a friend of ours that is now gone,” he said. “I am pretty sure that that made me survive, because our goalkeeper Jakson Follmann was next to me and he also escaped.

It was Follmann who told me to sit next to him, so I guess he also saved my life. I will have to live with this feeling forever.”

Goalie Follmann will not play for Chape again. He had part of his right leg amputated and is still going through minor surgery. He is considering becoming a Paralympian and a member of Chape’s staff.

The goalie has avoided talking about the future, but is not as gloomy as many about his current state.

“I choose life over the leg,” he told doctors during his recovery. “We will manage this easily.” (ap)

Man United soccer’s top moneymaker again after 11 years

LONDON — Manchester United is a long way from winning the English Premier League again but is back on top of another table — as soccer’s biggest moneymaker.

For the first time since 2005, Manchester United overtook Real Madrid in top spot in the soccer finance rankings compiled by accountancy firm Deloitte even as it sits sixth in the Premier League.

In 2015-16 when United won only the FA Cup and failed to qualify for the Champions League, the 20-time league champions generated 515.3 million pounds (689 million euros based on the annual average; now about $632

million).

Spanish champion Barcelona had 620.2 million euros in revenue and Real Madrid, which won an 11th Champions League title in May, dropped to third on 620.1 million euros in Deloitte’s 20th annual rankings.

United’s stay at the top could be short-lived with the pound weakening since Britain voted to leave the European Union in June and the failure to reach the Champions League.

Despite Jose Mourinho replacing Louis van Gaal as manager, United is struggling to break back into the top four Champions League qualification places let alone win the

first Premier League title since Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.

But United, owned by the Florida-based Glazer family and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, has maintained an ability to attract sponsors.

“Manchester United have had to wait 11 years to regain their position as the world’s leading revenue-generating club and it has taken phenomenal commercial revenue growth to help them achieve this,” said Dan Jones of the Deloitte sports division.

“In recent years, their ability to secure commercial partnerships with value in excess of that achievable by their peers has been the

Real Cup hopes hit by second successive defeat

BARCELONA - Real Madrid lost 2-1 at home to Celta Vigo in their Spanish King’s Cup quarterfinal first leg on Wednesday to slump to their second defeat in a row following a record winning streak.

Spain striker Iago Aspas, the top-scoring Spaniard in La Liga, gave the visitors a shock lead in the 64th minute by pouncing on a misjudged back-heeled clearance from Marcelo and showing composure to fire past a sea of defenders.

Brazilian Marcelo made amends with a volley into the Celta net five minutes later but La Liga leaders Real were caught out again almost instantly on the counter-attack.

The lively Aspas robbed Lucas Vazquez around the halfway line and rolled the ball to full back Jonny Castro, who drilled a shot past Kiko Casilla to notch a second away goal for the Galicians and put Celta on the path to their first ever away Cup victory over Real.

Substitute Karim Benzema blazed over the bar from inside the area in the closing stages, failing to avoid a second straight defeat for Real who surrendered a Spanish record 40-game unbeaten run in all competitions with a 2-1 loss at Sevilla on Sunday.

“I dont know what happened but once again we didn’t concen-

trate enough and didn’t get into the game. It’s a bad moment but we have to get over it. We have a second leg to turn it around but today was a bad game,” Zidane told reporters after his team lost two games in a row for the first time under his management.

“Losing is always a possibility but the way we started the game is what annoys me the most because you know if you let the other team play they can cause you problems and that’s what happened.”

Celta host Real next Wednesday in the second leg of the quarter-final tie with Zidane’s side needing to win by at least two goals or with a 3-2 scoreline to advance to the semi-finals. Real have never overturned a 2-1 home defeat in any competition in a two-legged tie.

“You can never relax against Real Madrid no matter what result you get and the tie is by no means over,” Celta coach Eduardo Berizzo said.

“We’re going to require a huge night in Vigo to go through. Real Madrid is always the favourite against any team, but we’re excited about advancing, this is a great moment for the team.”

Alaves took a huge step towards the last four by winning 2-0 at second division Alcorcon thanks to two goals in stoppage-time by forward Ibai Gomez. (rtr)

crucial factor in enabling the club to regain their place at the top of the Money League.” The top five is completed by German champion Bayern Munich and Manchester City.

The eight English clubs in the top 20 account for 45 percent of the accumulated revenue in the standings of 7.4 billion euros — up 13 percent from the previous year.

Leicester, a first-time winner of the Premier League, makes the cut for the first time, squeezing into 20th place on 128.7 million pounds.

West Ham returns to the top 20 and should move up from 18th place (143.8 million pounds) following its move last summer to Olympic Stadium.

The other Premier League teams are: Arsenal (seventh at 350.4 million pounds), Chelsea (eight at 334.6 million pounds), Liverpool (ninth at 302 million pounds) and Tottenham (12th at 209.2 million pounds).

The weight of English clubs in the revenue rankings should increase next year with the rise in television revenue. Premier League

clubs should each earn at least 100 million pounds a season as part of the rights deals worth more than 8.3 billion pounds over three years.

The only French team represented in the rankings is Paris SaintGermain, which fell two places to sixth with revenue of 520.9 million euros. Zenit Saint-Petersburg is the only Russian team included, improving a place to 17th by generating 196.5 million euros.

Along with Bayern, German also provides Borussia Dortmund (11th at 283.9 million euros) and Schalke (14th at 224.5 million euros).

Juventus heads the list of four Italian teams, in 10th place on 224.5 million euros, followed by AS Roma (15th at 218.2 million euros), AC Milan (16th at 214.7 million euros) and Inter Milan (19th at 179.2 million euros).

Deloitte warns that the enhanced English broadcast deals could see at least one of the Milan teams fall out of the top 20 next year. Joining Barcelona and Real Madrid in the rankings from Spain are Atletico Madrid in 13th place at 228.6 million euros. (ap)

Embiid scores 26, 76ers beat Raptors 94-89

PHILADELPHIA — Joel Embiid cupped both ears, imploring fans to cheer even louder, and flashed a wide smile as he soaked in the “MVP” and “Trust The Process” chants. With Embiid leading the way, the Philadelphia 76ers are no longer the laughingstock of the NBA. Embiid scored 26 points, Ersan Ilyasova added 18 and the resurgent Sixers beat the Toronto Raptors 94-89 on Wednesday night for their seventh win in nine games.

“I’m trying to change the culture and I like to get the fans into it,” Embiid said. “I play better when the fans are chanting and cheering for us. That’s what I love. The fans have been great.”

Embiid, who was questionable because of the flu, surpassed 20 points in fewer than 30 minutes in his 10th straight game.

The Sixers are only 14-26, but they have rejuvenated a city that has patiently waited for a winner through three miserable seasons.

“The fans are fantastic,” coach Brett Brown said. “We’re all starving for success, some good feelings, some wins. And then to feel it, it’s addictive. These fans deserve it. They’re dying for us to get this right.”

DeMar DeRozan scored 25 for the Atlantic Division-leading Raptors, and Kyle Lowry had 24 points. After DeRozan gave Toronto an 86-85 lead, Embiid made a tying free throw. Embiid then grabbed a rebound after DeRozan missed a jumper and T.J. McConnell’s layup put Philadelphia ahead 88-86 with 1:09 left. Cory Joseph missed a 3-pointer on Toronto’s ensuing possession and McConnell sank a pair of free throws. Embiid then blocked

Batuan Temple is designed very beautiful with full of Balinese ornaments and the roof temple building is made from the fiber of chromatic black palm tree. It is strategically located beside of the main road from Denpasar to Ubud. For over a thousand years, Batuan has been a village of artists and craftsmen, old legends and mysterious tales. Batuan Temple were founded in the year 944 isaka (1020 AD). Nearly 1000 years old.The Batuan Temple is a Puseh Temple category based on the concept of “Tri Kahyangan or Tri Murti” taught by Mpu Kuturan around the 10th century to the Balinese Hindu community at the time.

Tri Kahyangan or Tri Murti including 3 temples : Desa or Village Temple as a place to worship of God Brahma (the Creator), Puseh Temple to worship of God Vishnu (the Preserver), Dalem Temple to worship of Lord Shiva (the Destroyer).

The name “Batuan” or “Baturan” mentioned here prompts villagers to joke about being “tough as stone” or “eating rocks” as batu means “stone” in Balinese. But it likely refers to an ancient megalithic tradition in which standing stones served as meeting places and ceremonial sites for the worship of ancestral spirits. Because Batuan became a center from which Buddhist priests and brahmans spread to the main court centers of south Bali, the village has an unusual pre-

ponderance of brahman.

Guest Wearing Sarong at Batuan TempleInside Batuan TempleLocal people are very concern about the care and preservation of the temple architecture and its environment.

Not all existing buildings were old buildings here, there are some that have undergone renovation, renewal, and change from 10th century to 13th century and also 18th century AD. The structure and foundation of this temple are very tough and strong. It has the original Balinese ornament that beautifully craved on every building at this temple area.

Some ornaments are reflection of The Ramayana Epic story and every holy building has different function philosophically.

Lowry’s shot and sent fans into a frenzy.

Coming off a 36-point performance in a win at Brooklyn a night earlier, DeRozan missed his first six shots but finished strong with 14 points in the fourth quarter.

“We didn’t play physical enough.” Lowry said.

“They played with passion and energy. That’s one thing they got us on.”

Embiid put all his skills on display on consecutive possessions early in the fourth quarter. He threw down a thunderous slam off a pass from Sergio Rodriguez and then nailed a 3-pointer from the top of the circle, earning a rousing ovation. Embiid opened his arms wide and raised them high in the air as fans went wild.

Dario Saric got the crowd on its feet screaming minutes later with consecutive blocked shots and then nailed a 3-pointer, pumping his fist twice as he went back on defense. “I like to bring energy,” Saric said.(ap) Toronto Raptors’ Jonas Valanciunas (17) has his shot blocked by Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid (21) during the first half of an NBA basketball game, Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2017, in Philadelphia.

Milos Raonic

MELBOURNE — Third-seeded Milos Raonic ended one streak and continued another with a 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (4) Thursday over Gilles Muller to reach the third round at the Australian Open. Raonic, who reached the semifinals here last year and the final at Wimbledon, had lost both previous matches to Muller — including one when he retired with an injured hip in the second round at Wimbledon in 2012.

His win Thursday maintained Raonic’s record of reaching the third round at least all seven years he has contested the Australian Open. The 33year-old Muller entered the season’s first major after capturing his first tourlevel title in Sydney last week.

Raonic was unable to defend his Brisbane title in the first week of the season, but is finding rhythm quickly in Melbourne — he fired 21 aces, hit 56 winners and only had 15 unforced errors against Muller. He left the court

complaining of a sore throat, and will get a day off before his next match against No. 25 Gilles Simon.

No. 15 Grigor Dimitrov, who beat Raonic in the semifinals before winning the Brisbane International earlier this month, moved into the third round with a 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win over Chung Hye-on. Dimitrov will next play No. 18 Richard Gasquet. No. 32 Philipp Kohlschreiber beat Donald Young 7-5, 6-3, 6-0.

David Ferrer, the former world No. 3 who has only missed the quarterfinals once in the previous six years at Melbourne Park, recovered to beat U.S. qualifier Ernesto Escobedo 2-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 and set up a third-round match against fellow Spaniard and No. 13-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut.

No. 30 Pablo Carreno Busta had a 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 win over Kyle Edmund to move into a third-round match against either six-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic or Denis Is-

tomin. U.S. Open finalist Karolina Pliskova and No. 9 Johanna Konta carried their winning form from warmup tournaments into the third round of the season’s first major. Brisbane International winner Pliskova beat Anna Blinkova 6-0, 6-2 in 59 minutes, and has dropped just four games en route to the third round.

She was leading 6-0, 4-0 in the opening match on Rod Laver Arena before the 18-year-old Russian qualifier, ranked 189th, held serve and later held up her arm to acknowledge the cheers from the crowd. “It’s always good to be in the zone,” said fifthseeded Pliskova. “It can always be a bit better.” “I’m feeling pretty good on the court, confident,” she said.

“Also, people are talking I have a good chance to win a Grand Slam, but we are just in third round, so let’s see.”

She will next play Jelena Ostapenko, who beat No. 31 Yulia Putintseva 6-3, 6-1.(ap)

Philippines, communist rebels resume peace talks in Rome

MANILA — Philippine negotiators and communist guerrillas are set to resume peace talks in Rome on Thursday, with the Maoist insurgents warning that alleged government violations of an accord on human rights may prompt them to end a monthslong ceasefire.

The presidential adviser to the talks, Jesus Dureza, said the government is optimistic “with managed expectations” about the resumption of the Norwaybrokered negotiations in the Italian capital.

“These issues, although difficult, are surmountable with both sides sharing common aspirations for peace,” Dureza said in a statement.

Rebel chief negotiator Fidel Agcaoili was less optimistic, saying the guerrillas have raised a number of complaints, including alleged government breaches of a 1998 accord on respecting human rights and another pact on the safety of guerrilla consultants.

Agcaoili said the complaints, including the failure to release nearly 400 detainees the rebels consider political prisoners, made extending a five-month cease-fire “untenable.”

The guerrillas also expressed concern over President Rodrigo Duterte’s brutal crackdown on illegal drugs, which have left thousands of drug suspects dead, and his decision to allow the burial of dictator Ferdinand Marcos in a heroes’ cemetery in November, Agcaoili said.

Innocent people have been killed in Duterte’s crackdown “due to brutal, reckless and indiscriminate methods employed by the police in its anti-drug operations,” Agcaoili said. Duterte must shift his priority to solving the larger problem of poverty through social and economic reforms, which are the main focus of this week’s round of talks, he said.

The guerrillas have accused government troops of violating a ceasefire by occupying schools, village halls and other civilian areas and conducting illegal searches, questionings and surveillance of suspected rebel supporters. The military has denied the allegations.

Founded in 1968, the rebels’ Communist Party has held peace talks with six Philippine presidents, including Duterte, whose rise to power in June sparked rebel optimism due to his searing anti-U.S. rhetoric and populist pro-poor stance.

Battle setbacks, surrenders and infighting have weakened the rebel group, which is blacklisted as a terrorist organization by the United States.

A confidential Philippine government assessment obtained by The Associated Press says the number of guerrillas declined to 3,800 with more than 4,500 firearms in the first half of 2016, with about 700 of the country’s 42,000 villages affected by the insurgency. Sporadic fighting has left about 40,000 combatants and civilians dead since the rural-based insurgency erupted. (ap)

At least 24 children killed when bus, truck collide in India

LUCKNOW — A truck loaded with sand collided with a school bus early Thursday, killing at least 24 young children in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, police said.

At least two dozen other children were injured in the collision when the speeding truck collided head-on with the bus, said Javeed Ahmed, the state’s top police official.

The children, between the ages of 3 and 12, were studying at a school in the town of Etah. Another police officer, Daljeet Chaudhry, said visibility was low due to dense fog.

Ahmed said rescuers were work-

ing to free several children still trapped in the wreckage. The state’s education authorities had closed all schools in the district due to a severe cold wave, and Ahmed said authorities would check why the school had stayed open.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted his condolences, saying: “Anguished by tragic accident in UP’s Etah. I share the pain of the bereaved families & condole (the) passing away of young children.”

Accidents are common on Indian roads, with most blamed on reckless driving, poorly maintained roads and aging vehicles. (ap)

JAKARTA - Minister of Foreign Affairs Retno Marsudi will attend an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Thursday in Kuala Lumpur to discuss humanitarian issues in Rakhine, Myanmar.

“The foreign minister will attend the OIC emergency meeting in Kuala Lumpur on January 19. This meeting aims to discuss possible measures by the OIC in response to the situation in Rakhine,” Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesman Arrmanatha Nasir said Wednesday.

After attending the OIC emergency meeting, the foreign minister will make a working visit to Myanmar between January 20 to 22, 2017, he added.

The Indonesian governments main message at the meeting was to encourage OIC member countries to take constructive steps to support Myanmar in order to resolve the problems in Rakhine, the Foreign Ministrys Expert Staff for Institutional Affairs, Salman Al Farisi, said.

“We will deliver a range of measures that Indonesia will present to the government of Myanmar. We expect this to be an incentive for the other OIC countries to take similar

steps, particularly in its important role of promoting inclusive development in the country,” Al Farisi said.

The Indonesian government will encourage the OIC to cooperate with ASEAN in order to help and support Myanmar, he added.

Foreign Minister Marsudi had promised additional aid for Myanmar to help address the humanitarian problems in Rakhine state, Al Farisi further mentioned.

“On December 29, 2016 President Joko Widodo oversaw the delivery of 10 containers full of humanitarian aid from Indonesia that consisted of food, gloves and other items. On January 21, the aid will be formally handed over by the foreign minister and will officially be received by Myanmars Social Affairs Minister and Rakhines Chief Minister,” Al Farisi said.

The OIC emergency meeting in Kuala Lumpur is expected to issue two documents. The first document is a joint communique that is expected to contain the various measures that can be taken to help Myanmar. The second is a resolution from OIC members that will convey the position of the organization with regards to the problems in Rakhine. (ant)

Diversity can be threat to the nation says police chief BANDUNG - Diversity is not always an asset, it can also be a threat if not managed properly, according to Indonesian National Police (Polri) Chief General Tito Karnavian. The Polri chief made the comments during a public lecture at the Institute of Public Administration (IPDN) in Jatinangor, Sumedang District, West Java, on Wednesday.

The country that has a high level of diversity must be managed wisely in order for that diversity to not become a major threat, he added. The diversity of the country enriches the color of the Indonesian nation; therefore it must be managed and maintained appropriately, said Karnavian.

In his lecture, he suggested that human civilization has been formed by empires and kingdoms from the beginning to the current time. “Indonesia experienced a period of colonization by a western empire,” he added.

He proposed that an empire would create a strong military that can defend national territory, as well as an effective police force and intelligence service that will maintain internal order and prevent social upheaval.

A powerful but corruption free bureaucratic system is also essential in order for the country to run well, he said.

“We must have strong and clean politicians, the role of IPDN and the Police Academy is very important with regards to maintaining a strong police force, Akmil has a very important role,” Karnavian added.

He also highlighted the role of IPDN in training future bureaucrats that can run a clean and effective government.

“The role of IPDN is to train cadres on how to establish clean governments and efficient bureaucratic systems, this is really very important,” the police chief said.(ant)

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo discussed the topic of diversity and maintaining unity with two Christian organizations, the Council of Churches in Indonesian and Bishops Conference of Indonesia. He invited both groups to discuss the issue at the Presidential Palace of Jakarta, according to Secretary of State Pratikno on Wednesday.

“The President asked for input from both organizations concerning the issue. They talked about multiculturalism, the education sector and religion,” Pratikno said. The Secretary of State accompanied Jokowi during the meeting with the two groups.

During the discussion, the President and the Christian organizations agreed that the government needs to better promote religious values.

“They asked for religion to be made a priority, as well

as for the implementation of Pancasila. Both organizations will support the establishment of a working unit for promoting Pancasila,” Pratikno said. However, Jokowi and the envoys did not discuss the issues of blasphemy and mass demonstrations during the meeting, he added.

The President also said that Indonesia will always be strict in enforcing its laws in order to reduce crime.

Jokowi has previously invited the leaders of two Islamic organizations, Said Aqil Siradj from Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah from Haedar Nashir, to meet with him regarding similar topics.

During a lunch meeting with Siradj, they discussed issues relating to politics and ways of avoiding intolerance. The President also discussed efforts to promote social justice for the development of the nation with Nashir. He has also had meetings on how to improve economic conditions in rural areas by empowering local people. (ant)

Lebanon gets a new government, now it needs a new economy

BEIRUT - After years of political deadlock, Lebanon finally has a new government. Now it needs a new economy.

Battered by war in neighbouring Syria, neglected by wrangling politicians and caught in rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the pillars of the economy - remittances from overseas workers, tourism and real estate - are not what they were.

Long-term, Lebanon is searching for new sources of growth, which fell from 8-9 percent to below 2 percent when Syria’s civil war began in 2011. Beirut is working to start oil and gas exploration, offering support to technology start-ups and urging its vast diaspora to bring their brains and bank accounts home.

But before these dreams can be realised, the government, which started work in the new year after the country spent 2-1/2-years without a president, has an urgent to-do list.

The country’s infrastructure has been awaiting repair since the 15year civil war ended in 1990: roads are clogged with cars, beaches are littered with waste, internet links are slow or patchy and cuts to power and water supplies are frequent.

Reams of legislation, such as a hydrocarbon industry tax law and the privatisation of the stock market, await completion. Top of Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s list is a budget, which the country has not had since 2005, and a better environment for business, his economic adviser Mazen Hanna told Reuters.

The cabinet encompasses most sides of the country’s political spectrum and all of its religious sects, making any agreement a challenge.

“The first sign of the government’s seriousness is if they will pass a new budget,” Hanna said. “This is the priority now.”

Without one, there will be little chance of tackling Lebanon’s growing fiscal deficit and debt-toGDP ratio, forecast by the World Bank at 155 percent this year, the third highest in the world.

The government’s term may be as short as five months if longoverdue parliamentary elections take place on time, but Hanna said it can work on telecoms and the electricity shortages that drive people to hook up to expensive

private generators.

It also plans to resolve problems with rubbish disposal which spurred anti-government protests last year and the cabinet includes an anti-corruption minister for the first time.

The fate of Lebanon’s economy is important not only for the livelihoods of 4 million Lebanese, but for avoiding even more chaos in the Middle East: the country is home to more than one million Syrian refugees and half a million Palestinian refugees, and has its own history of instability.

CENTRAL BANK ROLE Following its 1975-90 civil war, much of Lebanon’s reconstruction focused on reestablishing its tourism image as “the Paris of the Middle East”, particularly for wealthy Gulf Arabs.

Beirut’s cooler climate and less restrictive social mores are a big draw for people from conservative Saudi Arabia, but bouts of civil strife, assassinations, deadlocked government and regional rivalries are still taking their toll.

An executive at a luxury hotel in Beirut last summer lamented the dearth of wealthy Gulf Arabs and their $3,000 room service bills.

Saudi Arabia advised citizens last February against travel to Lebanon, part of a dispute over the powerful role of the Iranian-backed Lebanese Shi’ite group Hezbollah.

President Michel Aoun, a Christian ally of Hezbollah, said after a fence-mending visit to Riyadh this month he was confident Gulf tourists would return.

In the absence of political leadership, the central bank has quietly steered policy, using stimulus packages and financial engineering to keep foreign reserves stable and growth ticking over.

It has also guaranteed housing, energy and business loans, testing the globally accepted principle of central bank distance from political decisions.

“This has kept the economy growing for the last five to ten years,” said Marianne Hoayek, an executive director at the central bank. “The government sometimes

Cranes are seen at a construction site at Beirut’s central district in Lebanon January 4, 2017.

Picture taken January 4, 2017. is not capable of doing what it wants to do.”

A central bank directive in 2013 called Circular 331 made $600 million available for investment in the “knowledge economy” and Lebanon now markets itself as the Middle East and North Africa’s technology and start-up hub, a title to which the UAE and Jordan also aspire. Hoayek said around $100 million had been taken up so far.

Marwan Kheireddine, chairman of Mawarid Bank which invests in tech businesses, said ten years ago entrepreneurs would have had to leave Lebanon to find funding and other support.

“Today we have all the building blocks required (for) those entrepreneurs to develop locally,” he said. At least eight new investment funds, four new fund managers and multiple jobs have been created, those in the sector say.

“I wouldn’t have come back without Circular 331,” said Sami Abou Saab, who returned from the United States and now heads SPEED, an accelerator which helps small business grow with advice, contacts and other services.

EXPAT FIREPOWER An estimated 14-16 million people of Lebanese citizenship or descent live outside the country, driven out by the sectarian strife that fuelled the civil war and still disrupts the peace. Many send money home, although remittances have been hit by the effect of the low oil price on Gulf economies.

“We can sell, we are creative and we are engineers,” said Nicolas Sehnaoui, chairman of the UKLebanon Tech Hub, which says it created around 240 jobs in its first two years and aims for 25,000 by 2025. “Instead of shipping our people out we want to ship our digital products out.”

But a tech-based economy needs fast internet and reliable electricity and the stock market needs to be privatised so smaller companies can go public, a process already two years behind schedule.

Both the World Bank and the Association of Banks in Lebanon have said the central bank cannot hold the fort alone.

“The Bank of Lebanon and the country’s banks have spent enough

International

time, sometimes at great cost, preserving monetary stability. It is time to support this stability with fiscal and economic policies which favour real growth,” ABL’s head Joseph Torbey said.

Hanna told Reuters he hopes the new government can itself eventually provide such stimulus measures.

In the meantime, Foreign Minister Gibran Bassil toured South America late last year to try to persuade Lebanese there to return home. Real estate company Demco Properties has widened the effort.

Its “Lebanon is calling” advert broadcast on U.S. television shows a Lebanese businessman in an office with a commanding view of a U.S. city receiving a call from a deep-voiced Lebanon, which tells him: “I’m back on my feet again” and “Home is waiting”. Lebanon’s residents have waited a long time for effective government and the stakes are high.

“The solutions are there, today we have a political will,” Hanna said. “Let’s hope it materializes into tangible results for the Lebanese.”(rtr)

Saraswati Day, Worship God as Creator of Science

5

Hindu community in Bali will celebrate Saraswati feast day on Saturday and Banyupinaruh Day on Sunday.

Both feast days fall every six months (210 days). Saraswati Day falling on Saniscara Umanis Watugunung aims to worship the Goddess Saraswati as the creator of science.

On that day, pupils, college students, teachers, lecturers, priests and other Hindu communities perform worship. All manuscripts mainly palm-leaf manuscripts, the Vedas, religious literature and books as source of knowledge are consecrated and given the offerings. By and large, books are consecrated on satvika time when the sun rises. At that time, the atmosphere is very calm and sunny.

In the meantime, rajasika time (noon, turbulent time) and tamasika time (evening, time of dimmer) are considered not good.

“Goddess Saraswati is symbolized as a very beautiful and charming goddess. This implies that science is beautiful because it can lead humans to perfect well-being,” said Jero Mangku Ketut Arthana.

Goddess Saraswati has four hands and each carries beads (rosary), manuscript, veena (musical instrument) and kumbhaja (lotus).

Besides, she also has vehicle in the form of lotus accompanied by peacock and swan. “On the Saraswati day, Hindu devotees are generally not allowed to read a book as they are carrying abstinence of Saraswati in the low, intermediate and high level,” he said.

For Hindus, the Saraswati feast day is the coming down of science celebrated by the presentation of offerings and worship to God as an expression of gratitude. In a series of the ceremony, devotees prepare herbal drink and pradnyan rice. Eating the rice and consuming the herbal drink symbolize to experience the ups and down of life. “By bringing together all the flavors, it is believed to create a peaceful mind,” he said.

READ Shivaratri as Sin Redemption Night, Perform Main Abstinences Balinese community celebrates Saraswati uniquely because on the next day there is also a series of ceremony. They consist of Banyupinaruh on Redite (Sunday) Paing.

“Banyupinaruh is derived from two words, namely banyu meaning ‘water’ and pinaruh meaning keweruhan or knowledge coming down on the previous day (on Saraswati) to be distributed to all parties. If developed well, it will be more beneficial,” he explained.

At the ceremony of Banyupinaruh, devotees flock the springs or water sources to do self-purification. The springs means the

source where the water flows from, they may be shower, lakes or seas. On that account, young people today take advantage of the Banyupinaruh feast day to travel with friends, family and girlfriend or boyfriend.

Saraswati, Banyu Pinaruh, Soma Ribek on Monday and Pagerwesi on Buda Kliwon Sinta, Wednesday has close relationship to Saraswati. Celebration of the Saraswati is closely associated with Pagerwesi. If on Saraswati day the Hindus worship the Goddess Saraswati as the goddess blessing the science, in the next morning they perform Banyu Pinaruh.

This holy day has a philosophy that sci-

ence flows like water and cools down humans so that they need to learn it in depth. On this day, devotees do self-purification with a shower and shampoo in source of holy water such as lakes, ocean or tributaries.

After the Banyupinaruh is Soma Ribek, meaning that when humans have already obtained the knowledge and possessed skills, they will be very valuable when they are used positively in order to bring in changes to society. Ultimately, Pagerwesi is a celebration after humans apply their knowledge so that they can become quality teachers (role model) in delivering their knowledge to the broadest community. (kmb)

The Sticky and Chewy “Jaja Bantal” Balinese people have a treasure of traditional cakes with tasty and unique flavor. The aroma always tempts us so as to give it a try. One of them is jaja bantal offering sticky and chewy flavor. Balinese people like best this cake, but should not eat too much because it can result in illness. Understandably, the main ingredient is white sticky rice that can generate excessive heat inside.

In the Balinese language, jaje means ‘cake’ that may refer to the shape resembling a small pillow, so that it is called jaje bantal. Other than functioned as refreshment, this cake is also obligatory in the ritual of picking up the bride by the bridegroom known as Ngabe Tipat Bantal. When picking-up the groom, it is attended by family

members as well as customary and administrative village apparatus.

Nevertheless, this cake has become a snack very easily obtained.

Stalls in rural area, school canteens, traditional markets and pastry shops are serving this cake. Moreover, it is also available at various hotels in the area of Sanur, Nusa Dua, Kuta and other areas in Bali offered in their dessert menu.

This cake is classified into eco-friendly because it uses many natural materials such as young coconut leaf as wrapper, bamboo pin as well as the locking strap made of bamboo rope. This cake applies natural sweetener, not artificial.

Inside it is filled with banana or mix with red beans, so that it offers a different taste.

The ingredients required include

white sticky rice, grated coconut, small sliced banana, red beans, sugar and salt. The preparation: first of all, soak the white sticky rice for approximately an hour, and then steam half-done. Then, take out and mix the white sticky rice with grated coconut, red beans, sugar and salt to taste. Stir well and evenly.

To avoid overproduction

Farmers must map out planting pattern BANGLI- All this time, farmers cultivating fruits and vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes, tangerines et cetera are frequently faced with overproduction during massive harvest. Moreover, due to abundant agricultural products, farmers are even unable to sell so that they let theirs perish. To avoid this condition, farmers must be smart in managing their plants. It is meant to prevent overproduction and losses from happening again.

Head of the Bangli Agriculture and Fishery Agency, I Wayan Sukartana, said that farmers must be observant in the mapping of plant. In other words, if they are now planting cabbage, later on they must plant others like mustard. “It must be anticipated by strategies of mapping the production capacity.

In this sense, farmers must perform mapping of the cropping pattern. So far, we see that farmers only consider to plant commodities having great potential and their produce can be sold without mapping system. If planting cabbage, they will not plant other commodities. Actually, such planting is technically less perfect,” said Sukartana on Wednesday (Jan. 18).

Sukartana hoped that in the future his agency could apply cropping pattern to production areas, in this case the farmers. For instance, Songan is ideal for particular potential commodities. The area must be divided in such a way for cultivation of chili, cabbage, tomatoes et cetera. Thus, it can be mutually substituted. “Since vegetables and fruits are perishable commodities, there should be a mapping for the planting,” he said.

He added that to overcome this there must be a commitment of farmers to their collectors. For example, farmers sometimes underprice their produce when over-production occurs, but when the selling price is expensive they at times do not comply with the commitment. In a sense, they say to have no stock whereas they do. “This most frequently occurs at lower level. Otherwise, they will suffer losses, so that collectors have a strategy to lower the price,” he revealed.

Division Head of Food Crops and Plantation, Wayan Tegal Sujana, stated that farmers at lower level have speculative selling system. Farmers want to make money first, though technically his division suggested chiefly for fruit and vegetable production to be prepared continuously by pruning and thinning of the fruits. By this way, fruits will not be harvested once during the massive harvest. “By doing so, in terms of readiness and quality, the fruits produced can be better so that they can compete later on in the marketplace,” he said.

He suggested that vegetable farmers should dare to oppose the season. In this case, farmers dare to plant beyond the commodity’s season with the consequences of giving more intensive maintenance because vegetables are susceptible to rain. In rainy season, the price of vegetable is definitely higher, while in dry season will be cheaper. That happens because farmers cannot plant in rainy season due to high risk. Conversely, during dry season the harvest will be abundant and the price will go down.

“For example, in the current rainy season the price of chili is high because farmers cannot plant.

To anticipate this condition, mapping of planting is required. It is different from coffee and clove belonging to non-perishable commodity and can be stored longer. The longer they are stored the quality will be even getting better. So, farmers have to smartly read the situation and season mapping of the crops in other region,” explained Sujana. (kmb41)

Usaba mumu in at Bungaya village

To maintain peace, residents preserve tradition of ‘burning’ memedi

BUNGAYA customary village, Bebandem, Karangasem, is one of the old villages in Bali. Every customary and religious ritual at the village takes place uniquely. One of them can be seen in the implementation of usaba mumu or familiarly known as usaba memedi. It’s named as usaba memedi because the ritual is marked with the ‘burning’ of memedi (spirits). The procession is carried out amid the pounding sounds of kulkul (wooden split drum) throughout customary hamlet and clan temples at night. How does the implementation look like?

Usaba mumu is held once a year falling in January (Balinese seventh month).

This year, peak of the implementation took place on Wednesday (Jan. 18).

Fifteen days in advance, residents have looked for ritual paraphernalia ingredients such as young coconut leaf, fruit, palm leaf and others at local customary village.

Then, three days before the peak of procession, all the people create the figure of memedi made from various leaves, such as the leaf of aba, bamboo, eggplant and pulet. The leaves are arranged in such a way to form humanoid figure coming with tribal marking by using lime betel.

“This paraphernalia is ritualized first in the morning at respective family temple. At night, it is taken out for the ritual procession,” said the apparatus of Bungaya customary village, I Gede Adi Krisna Widana, just before the peak of the ritual began.

At the peak of usaba mumu, thousands of families at Bungaya village have been busy with ritual preparations from the morning. Krisna said that beNgusaba Mumu

fore sunrise, the whole customary village apparatus come out to village temple or Bale Agung temple to prepare all means of rituals such as pras daksina, bayuan and kelanan.

In the meantime, all people have prepared ritual paraphernalia known as penyagaan (guard) made from palm tree stem from the morning. It is made to resemble a human figure decorated with various means such as coconut leaf arrangement and wild cherry fruit. The penyagaan means that people must be able to control their passions as preparation to pay homage.

The guard figure is placed in front of their respective alley. It will be dismantled at midday, after going through particular ritual. “According to local belief, all the guard figures can later be mounted again in paddy fields or anywhere in order to avoid any catastrophe,” said Krisna.

In the afternoon, the whole community, especially women, will say prayers at Pemuhunan Temple. This temple is quite unique located under a sacred banyan tree without any shrines. Prior

to the prayers, thousands of women are sitting around a banyan tree along with their offerings before the worship around 22:00 On the other hand, men are preparing the memedi figure that will be burned at the location of guard figure in the morning. After completing the ritual at the Pemuhunan Temple, then memedi figure is burned simultaneously marked with the sounds of kulkul at 15 customary hamlets and clan temples that keep pounding until the procession is over.

Burning the memedi figure has the meaning of burning all the natures of anger and negative traits in human beings, so that people can live harmonious and peaceful life.

The ashes are ritualized again after formed into human figure at the location of burning. When everything is over, the offerings prepared are immediately offered at the ash-made figure. “After the procession, it usually rains at the night symbolizing if the ritual has run smoothly,” said Krisna.

Three days after this procession, the entire local residents say prayers at the village temple. This process is called ngelisin where all pilgrims invoke holy water. After making introspection for three days, all the local people go through life with a new atmosphere.

Basically, this procession symbolizes the journey of self-control and restores the butha kala to maintain the balance of macrocosm and microcosm. (gik)

Were opportunities for clues from MH370 debris missed?

SYDNEY — Three nations shelled out around $160 million and years’ worth of work on the underwater search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. The result: No plane. The only tangible — and arguably most important — clues into what happened to the aircraft have come courtesy of ordinary citizens, who bore the costs themselves.

The deep-sea sonar search for the vanished Boeing 777 was suspended on Tuesday after officials conceded defeat following the most expensive, complex aviation search in history.

But while search crews spent years trawling in futility through a remote patch of the Indian Ocean, people wandering along beaches thousands of kilometers (miles) away began spotting pieces of the plane that had washed ashore.

Those pieces have provided crucial information to investigators and prompted some to question whether Malaysia, Australia and China — who funded the hunt for the underwater wreckage — missed key opportunities by failing to organize coastal searches for the remnants that drifted to distant shorelines.

“It would have been good to have been getting people looking for debris,” said David Griffin, an Australian government oceanographer who worked on an analysis of how the debris drifted in a bid to pinpoint where the plane crashed. “I think that was a job that fell between the cracks of whose responsibility it was.”

Since the plane vanished on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014, more than 20 pieces of debris confirmed or believed likely to have come from the aircraft have turned up on beaches along the east coast of Africa and on islands including Madagascar. All of the parts have been found by local residents and tourists who stumbled upon them, and by Blaine Gibson, an American amateur sleuth who launched his own, self-funded hunt for debris after working with oceanographers to estimate where bits of the plane may have ended up.

Several family members of Flight 370’s passengers asked officials to launch a search along the coastlines for parts of the plane. When their pleas went unheeded, they banded together and traveled to Madagascar to encourage residents to keep an eye out for more debris. The family members, who covered all their travel expenses themselves, even offered a potential reward to anyone who found a piece of Flight 370.

Grace Nathan, a Malaysian whose mother was on board Flight 370, was among those who made the trip to Madagascar last month. She is deeply frustrated that the families felt compelled to take on the task themselves, and that the underwater search yielded nothing. “Every single clue to date has been found by private individuals by chance,” Nathan said. “Not a single piece of hard evidence has been found by the official search.”

Nathan believes the governments’ failure to search for coastal debris may have resulted in missed clues. “They should have done more to initiate something like what we did,” she said. “We are laypeople.

We don’t have the kind of reach they have, we don’t have the kind of contacts that they have.”

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau, which led the search for the underwater wreckage, said Thursday that it’s impossible to know whether organized searches of the coastlines would have yielded more debris.

“The dynamic nature of the ocean means that items are continually being cast ashore and carried away again — a beach cannot simply be ticked off as ‘searched’ at a single point in time,” the agency said in

Wang Yulian, whose daughter was among passengers onboard Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which went missing in 2014, cries as relatives arrive for a meeting with the airline representatives in Beijing, China January 18, 2017. a statement. “What has helped significantly is the substantial public awareness since early 2016 of the possibility of debris from MH370 being washed up on beaches bounding the western Indian Ocean which has resulted in many people coming forward with finds.”

Initially, experts believed that the pieces washing ashore would be virtually useless to the investigation.

Too much time had passed, they argued, and ocean currents are too volatile to make it possible to trace the pieces back to their origin.

Yet the recovered parts of the plane provided valuable insight into what happened to it. They confirmed, firstly, that the aircraft went down somewhere in the Indian Ocean. Before the first part — a piece of airplane wing known as

a flaperon — was discovered on Reunion Island, farther east of Madagascar, in 2015, some people continued to insist the plane had flown north into Asia, rather than heading south. The flaperon effectively killed that theory and bolstered the investigators’ interpretation of satellite data that indicated the plane had ended up somewhere along a vast arc slicing across the Indian Ocean.

A wing flap that washed up in Tanzania also gave investigators clues into what happened in the final moments of the plane’s flight. No one knows why the aircraft veered so far off-course after takeoff and turned south into the Indian Ocean, though Malaysian officials have said the plane’s erratic movements after takeoff were consistent with deliber-

ate actions. Investigators operated on the theory that the plane was on autopilot in its final hours before it ran out of fuel and plummeted into the sea.

A key question was whether anyone was still at the controls when the plane hit the water, which would affect how far the plane could glide after running out of fuel. Critics who favor the theory that Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah hijacked the plane say he could have made a controlled ditch at sea in order to minimize debris and help the plane disappear as completely as possible.

But an analysis of the wing flap

by Australian investigators suggested it had not been deployed when it hit the water. A pilot attempting a soft landing would have extended the flaps. (ap)

91-year-old man to attend 18th presidential inauguration SALEM, N.J. — Although he’s a Democrat who voted for Hillary Clinton, a 91-year-old New Jersey man will still be traveling to Washington to witness his 18th presidential inauguration in person.

WCAU-TV reports (http://bit.ly/2k2DbtZ ) B. Harold Smick Jr. still can vividly remember Jan. 20, 1941 — the day he witnessed Franklin D. Roosevelt become the only U.S. president sworn into a third term.

That inauguration was the first for the Salem native, who was just 15 when he began the tradition that he will continue on Friday.

A bit of an Oval Office junkie, Smick has collected everything from inaugural buttons to a piece of felt from the stage cover at FDR’s inauguration. Smick says he’s praying President-elect Donald Trump will bring peace, health care and jobs.(ap)

Classical fuses with punk to kick off Paris menswear shows PARIS — Subzero temperatures were an apt backdrop for fashionistas who arrived in Paris for the first day of warmly-wrapped fall/winter 2017 menswear fashion shows. The travelling press bid “ciao” to Milan and said “bonjour” to Paris — kicking off 50 fashion shows, endless parties, million-dollar business deals and the last leg of the menswear mania that will sweep the French capital for five days.

Powerhouse Valentino unveiled its couture-infused creations from the now-solo designer Pierpaolo Piccioli on Day 1 — and what a show it was. Here are the some highlights of Wednesday’s events in Paris: VALENTINO’S NEW BEGINNINGS

Rabies positive puppy bites three people

The normally-elitist, hierarchical seating was replaced so everyone sat in the front row. The house’s traditional menswear venue — the Hotel Salomon de Rothschild — was moved as well to a nearby town house with significantly fewer celebrities.

Above all, the new beginnings were found in the house’s more focused styles — with Piccioli producing Valentino’s strongest menswear show yet.

The theme was subversive: the dapper gentleman mixed with flashes of punk — and garments featured slogans evoking Jamie Reid of Sex Pistols fame. Slim bow ties came alongside multiple layering, while coats and caps seemed to channel a funky sneaker-wearing Sherlock Holmes.

But it was the stylish cut of the coats that made this collection stand out. Exaggerated lengths of sumptuous wool were used to produce long jackets — in monochrome and tartan — that added a weighty, dandy swagger to many of the looks.

a real affinity for Madame Carven and her vision of fashion,” Ruffieux said, referring to the fashion icon Marie-Louise Carven who founded the house in 1945.

FACETASM CHANNELS DIVERSITY, VOLUMES

The Tokyo-founded company Facetasm has won plaudits for its conceptual styles with hints of punk. Its name was based on its founder Hiromichi Ochiai’s idea of the varying angular sides of a diamond — angles that seem contrasting that yet produce an inner

harmony.Wednesday’s color-rich show was an example of this classic yet subversive theme.

Voluminous layering in contrasting patterns, hoods, headscarves and bubble jackets provided the contrasts. A silken slip with lace detailing jarred beautifully with a bright citrus yellow urban jacket, worn off one shoulder as if in a state of hurried (un)dress.

And a billowing tartan cape came in atypical vivid blue that cut a fine look because of the stylish generous lengths of fabric at the front. (ap)

TABANAN - Rabies bite case occurred in January 2017 for the second time in Tabanan. After the first case affecting a resident of Anyar village in Kediri, the second case happened to three people simultaneously at Grokgak Gede, Tabanan. A puppy bit the victims Putu Trisna Sani, 2, Nyoman Putri Giani, 10, and Kadek Sukerni, 15.

The three victims suffered minor bite wounds on right calf and left thumb.

Division Head of the Livestock and Animal Health at the Tabanan Agriculture Agency, I Made Arya Putra, said on Wednesday (Jan. 18) the bite incident happened on Tuesday (Jan. 17). The biting puppy is just a few months old and newly bought from Beringkit Market at the end of December 2016. “It belongs to species of Kintamani dog and bought at Beringkit Market last December,” he said.

The puppy is known to have not been vaccinated, and on Tuesday (Jan. 17) was acting strangely and then bit three people who were in the house at once. Seeing such suspicious symptom, the dog owner, Edi, then reported the case to Tabanan Livestock Agency. After that, the agency came down to location and found the indication leading to rabies on the puppy so that it was decided to eliminate, and the brain sample was taken for examination. As a result, the puppy was positive to rabies.

Regarding this incident, Arya appealed to the public to be careful in buying a dog and may not trans-

fer or take any dog from one district to another district. “When buying, make sure the dog has got rabies vaccine by requesting its medical record. More importantly, do not move any dogs from one district to another district,” he explained.

In the meantime, Division Head of P2MPL at the Tabanan Health Agency, Ketut Nariana, explained that the three victims bitten already got treatment on the wounds and first anti-rabies vaccine (VAR).

Moreover, the joint team of the province and district has come down to location to provide dissemination regarding rabies.

He emphasized that to handle dog bite case must wash the wound first with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes before being taken to the nearest health providers. This measure can at least reduce the amount of virus that enters the body.

On the other hand, he also asserted that VAR is not always given in the case of dog bite. It is only given in positive cases based on laboratory tests. To that end, the people bitten are expected to report immediately and keep track the biting dog so that it can be eliminated and brain samples can be examined. However, if the dog bite does not show symptoms of illness, it can be observed for at least a week. When the dog dies within a week, it means the dog is positive to rabies and can be reported to the nearest rabies center for examination of samples and the victim get VAR. (kmb24)

Carven has named former Dior head studio designer Serge Ruffieux as its new creative director, taking over its womenswear designs next month. Ruffieux came out of the creative shadows briefly in 2016 to hold the spotlight at Christian Dior, for which he co-designed the praised Avenue Montaigne couture show. He also won notice for his time as the right-hand man of the late French designer Sonia Rykiel.

“I am thrilled to embrace my new creative role at Carven, feeling

Environmental quality index of Bali at 60.86

River slightly contaminated, land cover still lacks

DENPASAR - Environmental quality index (IKLH) of Bali is currently in substantial level, namely 60.86. There are three indicators used in the calculation of IKLH namely the index of water quality, index of air quality and index of land cover. Only the index of air quality can be said to be good or clean from pollution.

“To reach the status of Bali as green province, the environmental quality index should reach 70. Air is relatively clean, but water and land cover need to be improved,” said the Head of the Bali Environmental Agency, Gede Suarjana, in the meeting of regional bylaw draft special committee for the regional mid-term development plan (RPJMD) Bali 2013-2018 and regional bylaw draft on Environmental Protection and Management (PPLH) at the Bali House of Representatives on Tuesday (Jan. 17).

Suarjana added that IKLH 70 can only be obtained if the water quality index reaches 70, the air quality index (90) and index of land cover (45). Currently, the water quality index is recorded at the level of 60.1, air quality index (82.86) and land cover index (36.86). Water quality index describes the condition of 401 rivers, chiefly 22 cross-district rivers that are in slightly contaminated. Some rivers even contributed to an average of 6-8 cubic meters of waste per day into the sea.

“This causes pressure on the sea, especially in the areas of tourist attraction,” he explained. In terms of land cover, added Suarjana, it still lacks because the percentage of forest land is only 22.7 percent. In the meantime, this acreage is impossible to increase.

On that account, the land cover needs to be pursued through the green open spaces and city parks. In addition to water quality and land cover, the other aspect is the concern for the environment that should also be improved.

“If we see the Environmental Concern Behavior Index, it shows the position at 0.42. So, the concern for the

environment remains very low,” he explained. Suarjana continued that technology alone is not enough to restore the environmental quality in order to be good. Local knowledge is also required to be applied in terms of social aspect, particularly in maintaining the upstream area.

A member of the special committee regional bylaw draft on RPJMD Bali 2013-2018 and regional bylaw draft on the PPLH Bali, Ida Bagus Pada Kusuma, specifically highlighted the land cover in Bali. From his observations, the trees widely planted today are no longer for supporting forest but for commercial purposes. Therefore, the Environment Agency needs to closely monitor so that a region can be planted effectively. “Empower effective plants that are really useful for soil or forests,” he said.

In the meantime, Chairman of the Special Committee, I Nyoman Adnyana, said that environmental problems are quite complex because they often have conflict with the development. Prevention efforts need to be formulated in the regional bylaw draft on the Environmental Protection and Management (PPLH).

“Our awareness is low and the damage is severe. On that account, we would like to formulate a regulation to reduce and overcome the existing problems. Secondly, we hope this formulation can be applied so that will not be useless.

Thus, the regional bylaw is made to regulate, and then can be applied,” he explained. (kmb32)

Indonesia currently faces ‘a warfare’ WARFARE does not necessarily involve armed conflicts, but it can also pose destruction of a country by damaging the elements which have made the country strong all this time. In reality, this condition happens to the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). This republic is now facing a ‘warfare’ without a weapon called cyber warfare (cyber war).

This was expressed by Major General (Ret) Dr. (HC) IGK Manila, in an exclusive interview with BaliTV, Bali Post and Indonesia Network. This Secretary of the Presidential Advisory Board Member explained that cyber war occurs when this country is faced with the uncontrolled technological advances.

“We are now facing cyber ??warfare where the social media has made play with our world. It is more hazardous than weapons and can destroy our state by attacking the ideology of Pancasila as well as political, social and economic aspect,” he said.

According to him, the war is no longer weapon against weapon, but the enemy will destroy Indonesia with armless model and tactics namely with the other models. One of which is the cyber warfare.

“Just imagine that our rupiah currency can be ridiculed and people commit defamation of religion. Other countries can stop it (cyber war), why cannot we? This happens due to the reading habit in Indonesia is 0.00 percent, but the ownership of hand phone is ranked fourth in the world. Supposed that we have IT, but without coupled with reading habit, we’ll be easily fooled,” he explained.

Through cyber warfare, he said that people of Indonesian cannot distinguish which is right and wrong. This condition has attacked everywhere to shake diversity with racial issues. “We are Unity in Diversity. Never try to uniform them. We must keep and maintain, so that it becomes a unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia,” he said.

This Bali’s leader hoped there would be soon a non-military legal instrument, so that such attack can be overcome. Indonesia may no longer lose an inch of the land. “We’ve lost two islands without bullets. People do not know and never feel that we are played off.

Imagine what will happen with this war next ten years,” he said.

On that occasion, IGK Manila also advised to maintain the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia to safeguard pluralism since each region has its own peculiarities. “Bung Karno prohibited high-rise buildings in Bali because he did not want the integrity and authenticity of Bali would disappear. Bali should not become Hawaii, so that do not compare to the other regions,” he concluded. (kmb27)

Old plan ’revived’

Underpass to be built at roundabout of Ngurah Rai Airport—toll road

DENPASAR - Now the government is planning the construction of an underpass at the roundabout of the Bali Mandara toll road-Ngurah Rai Airport.

Actually this plan is not something new because it is in the same package with the construction of Bali Mandara toll road in 2013. At that time, the underpass development was still left behind because the toll road workmanship was rushed by APEC event becoming the reason for the construction of Bali Mandara toll road.

“Its feasibility study has just been finished, and now we are preparing the detailed engineering design (DED),” said the Head of National Road Authority VIII, I Ketut Darmawahana, to Bali Post on Wednesday (Jan. 18).

Ketut estimated the length of

the underpass from Nusa Dua to Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai is approximately between 500 and 600 meters. The whole budget will be on the account of central government because it is a national road.

However, his authority could not determine how much budget is needed for it. “The budget is not set yet but will be calculated based on the DED,” he said briefly.

Chief of the Bali Development Planning Board (Bappeda), Research and Development, Putu Astawa, hoped the DED of underpass can have been completed this year.

Thus, the construction of the underpasses can be started in 2018. It also considers the traffic conditions in the roundabout in front of the Bali Mandara toll road and Ngurah Rai

Airport tending to be crowded.

“This must be found out a solution. People seem to be able to receive as the one at the Dewa Ruci, so that one of the solutions is underpass. Hopefully, we could have built in 2018. The construction will not take so long, a year is enough,” he said.

When interviewed separately, a member of Commission III of the Bali House of Representatives, I Wayan Adnyana, said the underpass plan has indeed existed since the initial plan of Bali Mandara toll road.

Due to pursuing the implementation of APEC, this underpasses could not be realized because there are a lot of utilities at the location so that it may take longer.

“It was the consideration at that

time. Then, it was made a roundabout with a larger size expected to be able to address the congestion problem approximately 3 to 5 years after the toll constructed. After that, it can be ascertained to face congestion,” said this Democratic Party politician.

As the impact, continued Adnyana, the Bali Mandara toll road will no longer be effective to break the bottleneck.

It is quite reasonable if the underpass plan is ‘revived’ today. However, the government must ensure the readiness of budget so that the underpass does not stop in a discourse only.

“In other words, indeed the solution is the underpass. It has been designed. But it must be accompanied with a plan and considering the funding capability. It cannot be separated,” he added.

Chairman of Commission III of the Bali House of Representatives, Nengah Tamba, supported the underpass plan in order to provide good facilities for people. Moreover, the airport area is significant point for tourism image of Bali.

Before returning to their home country, at least travelers can enjoy leniency towards the airport.

“Do not let us see travelers dropping off from their taxi and carrying suitcase because they worry about missing the plane. If they go to airport anxiously, it is not good. It will also have an impact on people’s mobility and government affairs.

But when it runs smoothly, it will be much nicer and more effective and efficient,” he concluded. (kmb32)

500 Kiosks Burned Down in Senen Market Fire

JAKARTA - Central Jakarta Police chief Sr. Comr. Dwiyono said 500 kiosks in Blocks III and I of Senen Market had been razed by fire. There were no reports of injuries or casualties.

Dwiyono said that as of 8 pm local time, Central Jakarta Fire Department still attempted to extinguish the fire in Block III and parts of Blocks I and II. Central Jakarta Police had deployed 400 personnel to arrange the traffic in the intersections of Senen Market and to secure the scene.

“The situation is under control and Jakarta Metro Police have sent reinforcement,” he said. Dwiyono said police will launch an investiga-

tion once the fire has been put out.

All traders and residents of the Senen Market of Block D are now still rescuing their goods after the morning fire at 04:15 Western Indonesian Time (WIB).

Two of them are Eni and Sukamto who owned a stall at Block

D ground floor. Eni saved her sewing machine and some fabrics for her business. “All of them are safe now,” said Eni when met at the fire scene, Thursday, January 19, 2017.

Eni did not know exactly what started out the fire that vanquished the 2nd and 3rd floors of Senen Market. With her uncle, Sukamto, Eni arrived at the scene at 06:00 WIB. According to Eni, the floors that were on fire are the ones that sell the National Armed Forces’ (TNI) outfits and Civil Servants uniform; and also some second-

hand clothes.

Sukamto told Tempo that his stall had been burned down twice since he started selling in Senen Market. “When I was in Block 3, my loss reached Rp300 million.

But this time, eventhough our merchandises are safe, we still have six months left on the contract,” said Sukamto.

Same thing had been felt by Heri, a 38-year-old trader. He was forced to save his merchandises such as waist belt, sunglasses, wallets and other things. He claimed

that he just got news about the fire at 05:30 WIB. “We had just paid the contract for the stall, it was merely going on for two months now. The cost was Rp130 million per year,” said Heri.(ant) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

In the play, Rivera’s Rose encounters resistance from her boyfriend’s mother because she doesn’t want her son marrying someone with Puerto Rican roots, Lopez said.

That dynamic will be part of the live TV musical airing later this year, Lopez said. So will her character’s assertiveness about trying to steer her partner toward marriage, the actress said.

Lopez, who’s called “Bye Bye Birdie” a childhood favorite, said it’s a “great part for me to do. So here we go.”

She’s a busy woman, both on and off camera. Lopez stars in and is a producer for NBC’s police drama “Shades of Blue” and is a producer-judge on the network’s upcoming competition series, “World of Dance.”

“Bye Bye Birdie Live!” is the latest in what has become an annual live-musical holiday tradition for NBC, with last December’s “Hairspray Live!” the most recent production.

“Birdie” is an homage to circa-1950s rock ‘n’ roll mania and centers on the character Conrad Birdie, who is reminiscent of a young Elvis Presley. He was played on stage by Dick Gautier, who died last week at age 85. ABC aired a 1995 TV-movie version starring Jason Alexander and Vanessa Williams.(ap)
