Review: ‘The Joneses’ is another studio comedy misfire

The modern studio comedy increasingly feels limp, suffocated by the financial imperatives of high-concept plots and desperately in search of signs of life. Greg Mottola’s “Keeping Up With the Joneses” is, like many before it, fine enough. But it mostly goes down as another collection of funny people stuck in too narrowly clichéd roles in an overly familiar story.

It’s now been more than 10 years since “The 40 Year-Old Virgin” and five since “Bridesmaids.”

(Feel old yet?) There have, undoubtedly, been good comedies since, namely things with Melissa McCarthy in them, Noah Baumbach’s “Frances Ha” and anything Wes Anderson is putting out. But there has been perhaps no greater casualty to the constrictions of blockbuster-centric Hollywood than comedy. The freedom necessary for comedy to thrive is mostly found on television; the action is with “Broad City,” ‘’Atlanta,” ‘’Inside Amy Schumer” and others.

Mottola, the director of “Adventureland” and “Superbad,” has been at the center of comedy on both the big screen and on TV (“Arrested Development,” the underrated “Clear History”), but “Keeping Up With the Joneses,” written by Michael LeSieur (“You, Me and Dupree”) doesn’t have much of the naturalism that has distinguished his best.

Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher play Jeff and Karen Gaffney, a regular suburbanite couple experiencing an empty nest for the first time with their kids away at summer camp. An impossibly stylish and accomplished couple moves in next door, the Joneses (Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot, taking a break from her Wonder Woman duties). He’s a travel writer who can blow his own glass; she writes a cooking blog and wears cocktail dresses to neighborhood barbeques.

But what makes the Joneses most jealous of them is their easy affection with one another. Though its name is taken from the status-obsessed phrase first made famous by a 1913 comic strip and coopted by the Kardashians, this “Keeping Up With the Joneses” is a comedy about marital passion rekindled.

That the Joneses are putting up a facade is evident from the start, but the movie cleverly subverts the nature of their secret identities. They are elite government spies of some sort, but not as far removed from

Culik customary village offers beautiful nature

Young generation well directed YOUNG generation of Bali is easily influenced to join in mass organization. It makes a number of customary villages in Bali worried about the fate of young generation in the future. Culik village, Abang, Karangasem, has a special way to counter this threat.

The local village fortifies their youth by making decision in the perarem or customary bylaw strictly prohibiting any kind of anarchistic organizations from entering the village.

This village is one of the mainstays having tourism potential in Karangasem. One of the most widely known is Amed attraction. Amed being famous for its diving attraction is part of the 12 customary hamlets namely the Tegallinggah, Kahang-Kahang, Kebon, Buayang, Pekandelan, Amertasari, Gria, Seloni, Babakan, Amed, Lebah and Mekarsari.

In the meantime, administratively, Culik village has four administrative villages namely the Kerta Mandala, Culik, Purwakerti and Labasari.

the normal squabbles and challenges of marriage as you might think.

The collision of international espionage thrills and quiet suburban life has become familiar by now thanks to the likes of “The Matador,” ‘’Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and “The Americans.” When the bullets start flying, “Keeping Up With the Jones” has some moves of its own, thanks to the talents of Galifianakis (here playing a naive, aw-shucks character that limits him) and the always game Fisher. Only Hamm manages to create a three-dimensional character: a James Bond secretly yearning to be a regular guy.

But whatever is cramping the style of “Keeping Up With Joneses” — whether it’s the PG-13 rating, the stock characters or a thin script — the feeling never leaves that everyone here could do better if they were really let loose. Alas, it’s going to take more than Wonder Woman to save the studio comedy.

“Keeping Up With the Joneses,” a 20th Century Fox release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sexual content, action/ violence and brief strong language.” Running time: 101 minutes. Two stars out of four.(ap)

Trump? Clinton? Many young Americans prefer giant meteor

BOSTON - Young Americans are so dissatisfied with their choices in this presidential election that nearly one in four told an opinion poll they would rather have a giant meteor destroy the Earth than see Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton in the White House.

The tongue-in-cheek question was intended to gauge young Americans’ level of unhappiness about their choices in the Nov. 8 election, said Joshua Dyck, codirector of UMass Lowell’s Center for Public Opinion, which conducted the poll alongside Odyssey, a social media platform.

The choice alluded to the Twitter hashtag “#GiantMeteor2016,” a reference to an imaginary presidential candidate used to express frustration about this year’s election choices.

Some 53 percent of the 1,247 people aged 18 to 35 said they would prefer to see a meteor destroy

the world than have Republican New York real estate developer Trump in the Oval Office, with some 34 percent preferring planetary annihilation to seeing the Democratic former Secretary of State win.

Some 39 percent said they would prefer that U.S. President Barack Obama declare himself president for life than hand over power to Clinton or Trump, with 26 percent saying the nation would do better to select its next leader in a random lottery.

Some 23 percent, nearly one in

four, preferred the giant meteor outcome to either Trump or Clinton.

“Obviously we don’t think that they’re serious,” Dyck said in a phone interview on Tuesday. “The fact that one in four of our young people pick ‘Giant Meteor’ tells you something about the political disaffection that is being shown by American youth.”

That contrasts with the surge of participation by young voters that helped propel Obama into the White House for his first term in the 2008 election.

When asked to choose between the actual candidates, Clinton easily led Trump with 54 percent of respondents to 21 percent in a two-way race.

COVER STORY

Culik...

From page 1 This village is inhabited by some 5,000 households. With such population density, young people are of significant number at the village. As worried about the influence of anarchistic organizations destroying their future, Culik immediately stipulated a perarem.

Chief of Culik customary village, Ketut Pasek, said on Monday (Oct. 17) that the perarem has set forth that anarchistic mass organizations are not allowed to enter Culik.

“Any billboards related to such mass organization found at Culik customary village will be directly dismantled. The village should be free from any mass organizations,” he said.

Based on the perarem, Culik customary village strictly prohibits its villagers from joining a certain mass organization. Local youths are only allowed to join the customary village youth club or the STT. “This kind of prohibition is first implemented at Culik customary village. We’ve been applying this

since 2015. So far, the results of this perarem have quite positive impact,” he said.

With this pararem, the development of Culik young generation becomes more focused. Any residents being indifferent to this perarem will be imposed with strict enough sanction set forth by Culik customary village. Residents will be immediately summoned and invited to village meeting. The sanction will be directly imposed on the spot according to agreement having been made. “Just by being summoned, this social sanction has been considered quite severe, let alone being invited to perarem meeting of customary village,” he said.

At the beginning of implementing the pararem is admitted to be quite heavy. However, after passing for almost a year, the local support is quite large. Thus, the threat of anarchistic mass organizations undermining the mindset of local young generation can be prevented. As planned, the result of this prarem will be adopted by the district government and customary village middle assembly (MMDP)

Police Chief, Sugeng Sudarso, strongly supported this implementation throughout villages.

“Customary village becomes the last strength to fortify the

communities from the threat of outside influences. They include the influence of anarchistic mass organizations,” said Chief of the Karangasem Police. (gik)

Irrigation channel at Jatiluwih potential to generate electricity TABANAN - In fact, the irrigation channel is not only functioned to drain water to paddy fields. However, with the application of appropriate technology, this irrigation channel can generate electricity. This potential is found at Jatiluwih. To that end, the government of Tabanan makes collaboration with Taiwa Seiki Corporation of Japan to undertake construction of micro hydro electric energy at Jatiluwih.

IBP/adhi

With the application of appropriate technology, this irrigation channel can generate electricity.

In strengthening this cooperation, Regent of Tabanan, Ni Putu Eka Wiryastuti, received the visits from Taiwa Seiki Corporation led

by President Roychi Takai and his entourage, on Tuesday (Oct. 18).

Regent Eka explained that she received a report about the partnership. In fact, Tabanan has similar potential in terms of agricultural land with Japan applying the technology, while the distinction is only in terms of climatology. “With the advancement of technology, Japan is able to develop advanced agricultural technology based on electric power and information technology.

Through strong discipline, people can create productive, efficient and quality agricultural

production,” she said.

In the meantime, the President of Taiwa Seiki Corporation, Ryoichi Takai, expressed his gratitude for the warmth welcome by the government of Tabanan which has received the entourage. He said to have visited Jatiluwih and was amazed at the terracing system applied by the farmers in Tabanan.

According to him, there are many similarities of the agricultural system applied in Tabanan with Toyama, Japan. These similarities make him sure if this micro hydro technology can be applied. To that end, Takai hoped that this cooperation could be continued on an ongoing basis.

Previously, the district government had made a visit to Toyama Japan to see in person the application of micro hydro electric energy source. As planned, if this cooperation is applied there will be an assistance of engine to be installed at the irrigation channel of Subak Jatiluwih. The hydro power taking advantage of flowing water in the irrigation channel will generate electric energy with a total of 10 KW. Later on, the electricity produced can be taken advantage for street lighting, temples and subak (irrigation cooperative) hall. (kmb24)

Atlas Pearls Celebrates the Spirit of Indonesia and Announces Atlas Ambassadors

As one of the few Indonesian female surfers on the pro-circuit, Diah has rightly been described as a “rare pearl”. Diah started surfing when she was 12. She took up the sport with her father, and then quickly became addicted to surfing. Now at 22 years of age, Diah is a pro-surfer and sponsored by Rip Curl. In the very competitive world of surfing, Diah demonstrates incredible drive, perserverance and strength. As a lover of the ocean, Diah is a perfect advocate for Atlas Pearls, and the Ambassador of the Atlas Pearls “Surfed” Collection.

Maria was catapulted into the world of fashion and media when she was crowned Miss Indonesia 2014. By the end of that year, she ranked top 15 in Miss World 2014 held in London.

Originally from the island of Bali, Maria now lives in Jakarta but travels back to the “island of the Gods” to visit family and to represent Atlas Pearls. Maria is proud to represent a pearling company originating and based in Indonesia.

Erectile dysfunction may improve with exercise

PORTO - Men who have difficulty maintaining erections may benefit from exercise or physical activity, according to a new analysis.

A growing body of evidence has suggested physical activity could improve erectile function, but the authors of the new report say that until now, no one had looked at all the studies together.

The topic is important, they told Reuters Health by email, because the prevalence of erectile dysfunction ranges from 8 percent among men in their 20s and 30s, up to 37 percent among men in their early 70s.

“This sexual disorder can significantly deteriorate quality of life and is often neglected in clinical practice,” said the researchers, who were led by Dr. Andre Silva of the University of Porto in Portugal.

For the new study, the researchers searched for randomized controlled trials testing exercise and physical activity as a therapy for erectile dysfunction. They found seven studies published between 2004 and 2013 that included a total of 505 men, who were tracked for anywhere from eight weeks to two years. Average ages ranged from 43 to 69 years.

Altogether, 292 men were ran-

domly assigned to complete aerobic exercises, pelvic floor muscle exercises or a combination of exercises. The other 213 men were not told to exercise.

Erectile function was measured using the International Index of Erectile Function. Scores range from 5 to 25; men with no erectile dysfunction have scores of 22 to 25, and those with the most severe dysfunction score between 5 and 7.

Overall, men who exercised had their scores increase by an average of 3.85 points, compared to men who did not exercise.

Exercises specific to pelvic floor muscles didn’t seem to yield a benefit.

Among men with an increased cardiovascular risk, coronary heart disease or prostate removal, however, any type of exercise led to improved erectile function scores.

A take-home message from this analysis is that exercise should have a role in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, said Dr. Landon Trost, who is head of andrology and male infertility at the Mayo Clinic

Abrasion at Yehembang increasingly widespread Two stalls damaged

NEGARA - The impact of abrasion on Yehembang Beach, Mendoyo, is increasingly widespread. Moreover, the onslaught of waves hoofing the coast near the Yehembang cemetery on Monday night (Oct. 17) caused two semi-permanent stalls to be destroyed. In addition, a number of skulls and bones previously buried in the ground near the beach appeared and scattered among the ruins of revetment.

A number of residents met on Tuesday (Oct. 18) admitted that the height of sea waves on Monday night reached five meters.

The seawater even hoofed two semi-permanent building of stalls near Yehembang cemetery. Stall owners realized the gigantic waves,

so that they immediately evacuated the entire merchandise before the waves came to batter. Right now, one of the stall owners, Ketut Naya, can only surrender and watch his stall building only leaving timbers and roof tiles. He claimed to suffer losses reaching millions as a result of the accident.

The abrasion also undermined the connecting roads of Pasar hamlet to parking lot of Rambutsiwi Temple. Moreover, the space left

at shoreline and the rural road is less than one meter. If this condition is neglected and without immediate handling, it is concerned the road will be broken. Residents also rediscovered human bones around the coast. A number of Mendoyo subdistrict police members already came down to check the location of the discovery of the human bones. After investigating crime scene, the police handed over to headman of Yehembang

to be buried again at the local cemetery.

Headman of Yehembang, I Made Semadi, told journalists that the abrasion issue has been reported to the government of Jembrana to be further forwarded to provincial government. Surrounding residents and the village very much hoped the abrasion could be immediately handled because it can threaten public facilities such as roads and cemetery. (kmb26)

average increase in erectile function score would likely be similar to what people see with a medication. (rtr)

Roche’s lung cancer drug wins U.S. approval

REUTERS/Ruben Sprich/File Photo

The logo of Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche is seen outside their headquarters in Basel, January 30, 2014.

ZURICH - Swiss drugmaker Roche Holding AG’s new immunotherapy, Tecentriq, won approval on Tuesday from U.S. health regulators as a second-line lung cancer treatment, a decision seen likely to erode Bristol-Myers Squibb’s position in this hotly contested market.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Tecentriq to be used in non-small cell lung cancer patients previously treated with chemotherapy, regardless of whether their tumors express a protein called PD-L1. People with high PD-L1 levels are generally more receptive to immunotherapy.

In study results released this month, patients getting Tecentriq lived on average 4.2 months longer than those taking chemotherapy.

Tecentriq is aiming for a share of the treatment market now dominated by Bristol’s Opdivo, a drug which doctors can also prescribe for patients regardless of their levels of

immune-system suppressing PDL1 expression.

In the first half, Opdivo sales hit $1.58 billion, about three times that of Merck & Co’s drug, Keytruda, that is prescribed only for people who express a certain level of PD-L1.

Analysts estimate Tecentriq’s annual sales across all cancers - it is already approved for bladder cancer and will seek approval for more indications - will reach $4 billion in 2021, according to consensus figures compiled by Thomson Reuters.

Tecentriq, Opdivo and Keytruda are the initial entrants in a highly promising class of immunotherapy drugs now transforming cancer treatment and are jockeying for pole position, either for use alone or in combination with other drugs.

Lung cancer, responsible for 20 percent of the annual 8 million annual cancer deaths worldwide, is the top commercial opportunity. (rtr)

Job opportunities narrow, SMEs increasingly proliferate

BANGLI - The number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Bangli district has continued to increase since the past three years.

The players are not only the elderly, but also young people. This partly happens due to the narrowing job opportunities. However, in the past few months the productivity of business turns sluggish as the impact of the economic downturn at home and overseas. This was recognized by the Head of Bangli Cooperatives and the SMEs Agen-

cy, I Dewa Gede Suparta, Tuesday (Oct. 18).

He explained that it is still potential for the SMEs to develop in Bangli. It covers very diverse fields ranging from trade to agriculture, non-agriculture to services. From 2014 until this year, the number of business tends to increase from about 32,000 to 42,000 units.

“Within the past three years, the number of business tends to increase and the type also varies,” he explained.

Business players are not only the elderly, but also young people.

Reason of the establishment is quite diverse, such as the difficulty of finding job opportunities in urban areas up to the age which is not possible to take hard activities.

“Similarly, the government very intensively provides capital assistance. It becomes an incentive to open a new business,” said Suparta.

A businessman, said this former spokesperson of the government

of Bangli, does not only market the products in local and national market. Some have successfully penetrated the export market. Since the past three months, most of the businesses got challenges threatening their survival. Their product marketing is quite sluggish as the impact of weakening economy.

“The economy is weakening and has quite impact on product marketing,” he said.

Nevertheless, he mentioned to still provide guidance for busi-

nesses, both in terms of marketing and product quality improvement.

According to him, it is important to prepare the marketing when purchasing power has recovered. In addition, his agency is still trying to establish cooperation of promotion, one of which is made with the Ministry of Cooperatives and the SMEs. “Now, the marketing tends to target the local market, but the coaching is still given. It is meant to anticipate the request from foreign market,” said Suparta. (kmb45)

PDAM difficult to open new network

GIANYAR - Municipality Waterworks (PDAM) Gianyar has generated revenue of IDR 3 billion annually. Although the revenue is quite large, a total of 55,640 subscribers in Gianyar are still unable to get excellent services. This condition occurred due to a number of constraints faced by the PDAM Gianyar. This condition was recognized by Managing Director of PDAM Gianyar, Made Sastra Kencana, Monday (Oct. 17).

Sastra Kencana explained the revenue earned by the PDAM Gianyar each year is indeed quite large, reaching IDR 3 billion.

Nevertheless, it is still unable to provide maximal services. One of the causes is the difficulty to open new network. “This new network should be built by cutting a bit of road body, but it is very difficult for us to do. Moreover, there is no coordination with the Public Works in the district, provincial or central government,” he said.

The management has long been trying to build coordination with the Public Works, and this coordination has even been communicated to central government. But so far, there is no response. “This MoU submission has long been

conveyed, not only to the province but also to central government. So far, there is no response,” he said.

Due to this condition, the pipelines installed in the 1980s have not been replaced until these days. Due to overdue usage, many leaks cannot be resolved. “On average the pipeline network is old-fashioned, installed around the 1980s and 1990s, so that many leaks currently occur. We have tried to address the leaks with a variety of efforts,” he explained.

He added that the company could only install pipelines on drainage channel. However, it is not done because if the pipelines leak, bacteria in the gutter will come into the pipelines and harm water quality. “We do not want to take risks when the water is dirty, let alone harm consumers,” he explained.

Solution to break this deadlock, said Kencana, is the willingness of people to allow their land for pipeline network installation. “All this time, people complain if their land is used to install pipelines. Actually, this is the solution. If there is another solution such as making utility network, the budget is very high. Our capital does not afford it,” he said. (kmb35)

Unfavorable weather condition due to frequent rains in dry season has caused coffee production of Pupuan to decrease at least 60 percent.

Unfavorable weather

Pupuan coffee production slumps 60 percent

TABANAN - Unfavorable weather condition due to frequent rains in dry season has caused coffee production of Pupuan to decrease at least 60 percent. The Head of the Tabanan Plantation and Forestry Agency, Roemy Liestyowati, said some time ago that decline in the production of cacao and coffee plantations indeed often happens every leap year. It can be seen from the experience of previous years where every leap year or four years there will be a decline in the production. It happens every leap year and always rains in dry season. As a result, pollination process that should happen finally fails because the flowers fall off.

One of the causes is the difficulty to open new network.

The decline in coffee production was admitted by a coffee farmer of Pupuan, Ketut Suardika. On Monday (Oct. 17), this year’s harvest has decreased drastically when compared to last year’s, reaching 60 percent. In last year’s harvest season, the average coffee production of farmers reached 600 -700 kg per hectare, but this year only reaches 300-400 kg per hectare.

Similarly, the quality of coffee also decreased when compared to

last year’s.

The decline in coffee production, according to Suardika, occurs due to the impact of extreme weather characterized by high level of rainfall and high temperature.

“This year the season change and rainy season seem to last longer than last year,” he said.

Different from rice crop requiring much water availability, coffee plants require very stable weather condition, or in dry

season coffee plants require sufficient heat condition as well as adequate rainfall in rainy season.

“This year, heat and rain come beyond the season. As a result, coffee flowers that should thrive in dry season face imperfect process because the current dry season is interspersed with rain,” explained Suardika.

To address this season change, farmers have anticipated by fertilization and treatment of plants.

For this case, farmers are willing to spend higher costs than ever before. However, these measures still do not much help increase their coffee production. Farmers also experience a decline in the revenue.

Though going through decline in production, it does not necessarily mean if the price of coffee is expensive. The price has decreased when compared to last year’s where it remains to reach IDR 2.2 million per 100 kg. (kmb24)

The Shenzhou 11 spacecraft that blasted off Monday morning docked with the Tiangong 2 station using an automated maneuver worked out during missions to an earlier experimental station.

Having changed from his space suit into blue overalls, veteran mission commander Jing Haipeng opened the hatch and entered the station shortly after 6 a.m. Beijing time (2200 GMT), followed by astronaut Chen Dong, who is making his first journey into space, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.

“The two astronauts extended greetings to all the people of the nation in the space lab, and checked the status of the space complex,” Xinhua said.

The space station launched Sept.

15 is orbiting about 393 kilometers (244 miles) above the earth.

The mission displays the growing sophistication of the country’s manned program that first launched a human into space 13 years ago.

During their 30-day stay, the astronauts will conduct experiments in medicine and space-related technologies, and test systems and processes in preparation for the launching of the station’s core module in 2018. A fully functioning space station is on course to begin full operations six years from now and slated to run for at least a decade.

China’s manned space program has also conducted a spacewalk, while the lunar program recently

decommissioned its Yutu rover and is considering sending a crew to the moon.

The Tiangong, or “Heavenly Palace,” space stations are considered stepping stones to a mission to send a rover to Mars by the end of the decade. Communications with the disused Tiangong 1 station have been cut and it is expected to burn up on entering the atmosphere next year.

China was excluded from the International Space Station mainly due to U.S. legislation barring such cooperation and concerns over the Chinese space program’s strongly military character.

Chinese officials are now looking to internationalize their own program by offering to help finance other countries’ missions to Tiangong 2, which, at 60 tons when completed, would still be considerably smaller than the 420ton ISS.(ap)

Chibok girls freed by Nigeria’s Boko Haram risk rejection back home - experts

ABUJA/DAKAR - The 21 Nigerian schoolgirls freed by Boko Haram militants last week after two-and-a-half years’ captivity urgently need support to reintegrate into their communities where they risk abuse and rejection, aid groups and psychologists said on Tuesday.

Around 220 girls were seized from their school in 2014 in Chibok in northeastern Borno state, where Boko Haram has waged

a seven-year insurgency aimed at creating an Islamic state, killing thousands and displacing more than 2 million people.

The militants released 21 of the Chibok girls after the Red Cross and the Swiss government brokered a deal, and are willing to negotiate the release of 83 more, President Muhammadu Buhari’s spokesman said on Sunday.

Yet the freed girls could face stigma, re-

Members of the #BringBackOurGirls (#BBOG) campaign react on the presentation of a banner which shows “218”, instead of the previous “219”, referring to kidnapped Chibok school girls, during a sit-out in Abuja, Nigeria May 18, 2016, after receiving news that a Nigerian teenager kidnapped by Boko Haram from her school in Chibok more than two years ago has been rescued.

jection and further trauma when they return home, according to Patricia Grey, head of women’s protection and empowerment for the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in northeast Nigeria.

“Women and girls held by Boko Haram have fear and anxiety about how their families and communities will receive them ... people being scared of you is traumatising in its own right,” Grey told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

“People often call former captives Boko Haram supporters or the enemy, and this could hinder girls getting the help they need as they fear the abuse will be even worse if they do so.”

Many Nigerians fear those abducted by Boko Haram have been radicalised and may recruit others once home, and that their children born of rape may have been tainted by the “bad blood” of the militants, according to a report by International Alert and the U.N. children’s agency (UNICEF).

This fear has been fuelled by a surge in the use of children in suicide bombings by Boko Haram in West Africa, leaving those born of rape at even greater risk of being ostracised, said Gianfranco Rotigliano, acting representative for UNICEF Nigeria.

“SUFFERING IN SILENCE” The freed Chibok girls will be assessed by health workers to identify issues such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, said psychologist Fatima Akilu, who used to run a state deradicalisation programme for Boko Haram members.

“They will be feeling very unstable, very bewildered and overwhelmed,” Akilu said.

But the girls may face less stigma than others abducted by Boko Haram because of widespread support and the worldwide attention on their plight, she added.

The Islamist militants have kidnapped at least 2,000 girls and women since 2014, turning them into cooks, sex slaves and fighters, according to rights group Amnesty International. It is unclear what will happen to the freed Chibok girls in the long-term.

Amina Ali, the first of the Chibok girls to be released from Boko Haram captivity in May, has since been held in a house in Abuja for what the state has called a “restoration process”. She said in August that she “just wanted to go home”.

Psychologist Somiari Demm, who counselled former Boko Haram captives sponsored to go to the United States to study, said Nigeria’s mental health services were lacking. “As a result, we end up with girls and women that are suffering in silence,” said Demm, adding that support must also be provided to the girls’ families after years of uncertainty.

“Any attempts to reintegrate these girls into an unstable environment will only create more instability, and exacerbate their trauma,” she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

A group of U.N. human rights experts said in a statement that providing support for the girls was not only a moral duty but also a legal obligation under international law.

Boko Haram controlled a swathe of land around the size of Belgium at the start of 2015, but Nigeria’s army has recaptured most of the territory. The group still stages suicide bombings in the northeast, as well as in neighbouring Niger and Cameroon.(rtr)

The art of ngoncang or pounding mortar also enlivened the opening of the Buleleng Festival (Bulfest) 2016. No half-heartedly, there are ten pounding art troupes presenting this agrarian art predominantly used in religious ceremonies.

The Head of the Buleleng Culture and Tourism, Nyoman Sutrisna, said the ten pounding art troupes involved came from the subdistrict of Buleleng, Sukasada and Sawan. Each troupe may consist of six to ten people. They used round and elongated mortar made from teak wood or devil tree wood with the length of two to three meters. In the middle it has a hole and is hit by using wooden round-end pestle generally used for pounding rice.

This pounding art is representing the excitement of gratitude of housewives when celebrating post-harvest time. Rhythm of the beat sounding harmonious symbolizes their unity and oneness. As ancestral heritage, the existence is still preserved to these days. Through the Bulfest, younger generations are expected to know about this tradition. They will see in person the shape and pattern of pounding the rice mortar. Meaning of the sound produced becomes a symbol of harmony of life. Visitors can learn and know a lot of things that Buleleng has diverse cultures and traditions,” he said. (kmb)

HONG KONG - Official investment figures may be feeble, but exporters at China’s largest trade fair say they are ploughing more money into robotics, industrial automation and new product development to offset rising costs.

Labourers work at a construction site in Beijing’s Central Business District (CBD) area, China, October 19, 2016. private companies are the primary source of investment, innovation and productivity growth.

Heavy machinery manufacturers at the fair said they spend over 30 percent of their investment capital upgrading production lines each year, while many building materials and household equipment makers said they were pumping money into automation.

China is achieving average annual growth of 18 percent in research and development (R&D) spending, compared with just 1.4 percent across the rest of the world’s upper-middle-income countries, according to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics.

While most exporters surveyed aim to boost spending, around 20 percent said they planned to cut investment. Other sectors that may

be under pressure as global growth slows, such as textiles and apparel, will feature later at the fair, which runs until Nov. 4.

RISE OF THE ROBOTS China is increasingly moving to modernise its manufacturing industry with robotics and automation, driven in part by a shortage of skilled workers and rapidly rising wages that threaten to erode its appeal as a low-cost workshop to the world.

“Robots do a better job than workers; the quality is more stable,” said Zhejiang Momali Sanitary Utensils Co general manager Selina Song. Song said, however, that a drop in sales was slowing the company’s push to boost automation.

Some economists said new and

emerging sectors such as high-end manufacturing equipment would see more room for development.

“It’s because these sectors get the government’s support. They still see more room to grow despite slowing economic growth globally,” said Nomura China economist Wendy Chen, who is based in Shanghai.

Liu Qian, deputy general manager of Nanjing Panda Electronics Import & Export Co, said investing in robots and automation was crucial, given wages had doubled in five years.

Several Chinese provinces have slowed or halted increases to minimum wages this year, as companies face pressure from rising expenses and weakening global demand, something that is also prompting more companies to shift sales to

within China.

Liu acknowledged it would take longer for some companies to break even, given the size of the initial capital injection in automation and robots.

China is aiming for a top-10 ranking in automation for its industries by 2020 by putting more robots in its factories, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).

Torpedo Hsu, sales manager at heavy-machinery transmissions maker CMEC, said the company plans to invest 10 to 20 percent more in spending next year, which it hopes will lead to a pick-up in orders after an expected 10 percent fall in export orders this year. “Our company’s strategy is that when the business is not doing well, we spend more,” Hsu said.(rtr)

Ngoncang Poses an Expression of Gratitude after Rice Harvest

Chinese firms say to ramp up investment as costs rise At the Canton Fair, which kicked off this weekend for companies in the household electronics, decorative materials and building sectors - other sectors follow later in the month - more than 80 percent of companies quizzed by Reuters said they would be spending more next year.

That would represent a significant shift if matched throughout China’s economy. Official data on Wednesday showed private sector investment in fixed assets in the first nine months grew just 2.5 percent, picking up from a record low of 2.1 percent in the first eight months.

Kison Van said his company, Ningbo Cixi Import and Export Holdings, which makes fans and heaters, needs to develop three to four new products every year to stay competitive.

“It’s important to continuously invest in R&D because once a new product comes out, you see it everywhere at the Canton Fair,” said Van, one of tens of thousands of salesman at a fair that sprawls over 1.2 million square metres, almost twice the size of the world’s largest mall.

More than 65 percent of the 103 exhibitors polled by Reuters in China’s southern city of Guangzhou expect to boost spending by up to 20 percent in 2017, while 16.5 percent expect to raise spending by more than 20 percent.

That will be welcome news to leaders in Beijing, as China’s private companies, which make up the bulk of exhibitors at the fair, are a crucial engine of growth for the economy, unlike the largely inefficient and indebted state-owned sector.

Chinese growth slowed to a 25year low of 6.9 percent last year, and third-quarter figures released on Wednesday put it on track for about 6.7 percent this year. Economists say the country’s mid-sized

The Jembrana farmers’ sport known as makepung (buffalo race) is an interesting and unique attraction, that not only brings joy to the farmers but also entertains people from all over Bali an well as people from all over the world, as evidenced by the increasing number of people who show up to watch each buffalo race. Makepung are now held 3 or 4 times a year.

Makepung has been dubbed as the ‘traditional grand prix’. The Balinese word makepung means ‘romping buffalo’ and has been closely associated to Jembrana for a long time. The sport originated in the common ploughing of the paddy fields after harvest, but then developed in a race involving the farmers becoming jockeys on their buffalo drawn ploughs.

The Jembrana Regent Cup buffalo race that took place at the Satya Jayanti Circuit, on Sunday (Aug. 14) was especially interesting as the typical Jembrana racetrack was all muddy from the heavy rain that fell the day before

the race. The mud made it especially challenging for the jockeys to direct their buffalo.

The muddy conditions did stop thousands of buffalo race the lovers to throng the racetrack from early morning. Amongst the makepung were the Regent of Jembrana I Putu Artha, Chairman of the Jembrana House of Representatives I Ketut Sugiasa, Deputy Chief of Jembrana Police Anak Agung Gede Rai Laba, Commander of the 1617/Jembrana District Military Nana Sulistyo, Regional Secretary of Jembrana Gede Gunadnya and other officials.

The muddy circuit certainly impacted the speed of the buffalo

as mud stuck to the wheels making the carts slip form side to side. The competition between East Ijogading Block and West Ijogading Block was tight with both teams alternately taking the lead in each round.

In the final round, West Ijogading Block won one point over East Ijogading Block with a score of 28: 27. After handing out the trophy, Regent Artha mentioned that the buffalo races are an outstanding attraction. “The buffalo race is very unique and attracts people from all over – especially foreign visitors visiting Jembrana”, he said, adding that the general public is very interested in this race and more and more people attend each race- even when the track is muddy.

“The main goal is not to present a winner but rather to preserve this unique tradition”, added regent Artha.(kmb)

IS car bombs, mortars slow down Iraqi advance on Mosul

KHAZER— Islamic State militants have deployed suicide car bombs and fired mortar rounds to slow down the advance of Iraqi troops outside a key town near the militant-held city of Mosul, an Iraqi army officer said Wednesday.

The officer from the 9th Division told The Associated Press that his troops were now around 1 kilometer (half mile) away from Hamdaniyah, a historically Christian town also known as Bakhdida.

Since Tuesday, IS has sent 12 car bombs, all of which were blown up before reaching their targets, he said, adding that Iraqi troops suffered a small number of casualties from the mortar rounds. The officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to reporters, did not provide specific figures.

Iraq launched a massive operation on Monday to retake Mosul, the country’s second largest city and the extremist group’s biggest urban bastion.

The operation is the largest launched by the Iraqi army since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. Some 25,000 troops, including Sunni tribal fighters, Kurdish forces known as the peshmerga and statesanctioned Shiite militias known as the Popular Mobilization Units are approaching the city from different directions.

The participation of the Shiite militias in the operation to retake the mainly Sunni Mosul has raised concerns that the campaign could inflame sectarian tensions. Rights groups have accused the Shiite militias of abuses in past campaigns against IS-held areas.

In a bid to alleviate those concerns, Shiite militia leaders on Tuesday announced that they will only focus on capturing the mostly

Shiite town of Tal Afar to the west of Mosul, and not enter the city itself.

“The only troops who will enter Mosul are the army and police, not the Popular Mobilization Units or the peshmerga,” said Hadi al-Amiri, the leader of the Badr Brigade, one of the largest Shiite militias. “This has been agreed upon,” he said at a press conference in the Shiite holy city of Najaf.

Amnesty International said in a report released Tuesday that Iraqi government and paramilitary forces detained, tortured or killed hundreds of Sunni Arab civilians fleeing IS-held areas during the operation to retake the Sunni city of Fallujah, west of Baghdad, earlier this year.

The Iraqi government has denied any systematic violations by security forces or the militias, and says individuals have been held accountable for occasional abuses. (ap)

Online outrage as Malaysian schoolgirls forced into snake pit

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia suspended a child team-building programme on Wednesday after a video emerged online of a group of frightened schoolgirls being made to wade through a muddy snake pit.

The programme, held in the western state of Perak, was part of a motivational camp for children aged between 10 and 12 and was conducted by a school and the Malaysian Civil Defence Department.

The three-minute video, which drew outrage on social media, showed the schoolgirls screaming and crying after they were asked to cross a muddy pool which they were told contained two pythons.

As they were crossing the pool, more snakes were thrown in. The

students were also sprayed with water and told to “get in and dive” by male instructors, who were not seen on-screen.

Perak civil defence department director Col. Mohd Noor Hassan Ashaari Sulaiman told state news agency Bernama the camp’s coordinators had modelled the exercise on training videos found on Youtube.

The use of snakes was not endorsed by the department and was not part of its self-development module, he said, adding that the snakes used were non-poisonous.

“This incident cannot be taken lightly,” he was quoted as saying.

The department had since suspended four coaches and six assistants pending internal investigations. (rtr)

NEW DELHI — New Delhi’s zoo has been closed temporarily after nine birds died from suspected bird flu last week, a zoo official said Wednesday. Autopsies conducted on the birds confirmed that at least two of them died from H5N1 avian influenza, said Riaz Ahmed Khan, the National Zoological Park’s curator.

“We decided to close the zoo for a few days as a precautionary measure,” Khan said, adding that the zoo would reopen next week.

He said the birds, including some ducks and two pelicans, died Friday

and Saturday.

The zoo, one of the largest in India, has about 1,400 animals, reptiles and birds belonging to around 130 species. It gets about 2.2 million visitors annually.

The H5N1 avian influenza virus poses no apparent threat to humans, but highly pathogenic strains can be deadly to domestic poultry and, rarely, wild birds.

In May, zoo workers were vaccinated against rabies after 46 spotted deer at the park died from the virus. (ap)

JAKARTA - A consortium building a longawaited mass rapid transit (MRT) railway in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta has replaced two top officials, a representative said on Wednesday, amid doubts the $3-billion dollar project can be completed on time.

A consortium of Indonesian and Japanese firms, including Obayashi Corp, Shimizu Corp and Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co Ltd, is building the MRT in the city of 10 million people, which is among the world’s most traffic-logged.

“The chief executive and operational director have been changed,” said Tubagus Hikmatullah, the corporate secretary of PT MRT, but he declined to elaborate on the reason. The city governor’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

Media reported that the changes followed an announcement by the old management of a delay until 2019 in the opening of the project’s first, $1.7-billion phase, and complaints over land acquisition.

Delayed repeatedly for more than 20 years, the project was finally launched in 2013, with the first line originally scheduled to have been opened in 2018. (rtr)

Jakarta police hold seminar on security ahead of polls

JAKARTA - The Jakarta police on Tuesday organized a seminar on security and law enforcement during the 2017 regional elections.

“The seminar is aimed at distinguishing between administrative violations, disputes among participants and criminal acts during the elections,” deputy Jakarta police chief Brig. Gen. Suntana said.

The Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu), police department and Jakarta prosecutors office should carry out their duties comprehensively to avoid security disruptions, he said.

The Jakarta police must secure South Tangerang, Tangerang City and Jakarta during the polls. Proper security measures can be taken only when the police know the election rules, he said, adding that they should understand what penalties and steps to take so that they can act clearly.

“In addition, the Bawaslu can investigate and disqualify candidate pairs if they violate rules,” Suntana said.

The discussion was attended by Jakarta Election Supervisory Agency chairman Mimah Susanti, Bawaslu commissioner Muhammad Jufri and Jakarta General Elections Commissioner (KPU Jakarta) Sumarno. (ant)

Bell set bail at $5,000 each for Chazerae Taylor, 38, and his son, D’Markeo Taylor, 19, on wanton endangerment charges. Dvonta Middlebrooks, 21, is charged with wanton endangerment and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. His bail was set at $12,500.

Bell will assign attorneys for two of them. The younger Taylor already has a lawyer. Lexington police say Middlebrooks was in the parking lot of the Cook Out restaurant and fired multiple shots in the incident in which Trinity Gay was killed early Sunday. Court records show the Taylors admitted also firing shots.

Police spokeswoman Brenna Angel said police don’t believe Trinity Gay was in either of the vehicles involved.

Tyson Gay said he and his

daughter were very close, according to Lexington TV station WLEX, which spoke to him Sunday. “It’s so crazy. I have no idea what happened,” Gay told the station.

Grief counselors were at Lexington’s Lafayette High School on Monday for students and staff, Fayette County Public Schools spokeswoman Lisa Deffendall said.

Both Gay and his daughter attended the school.

Lafayette principal Bryne Jacobs, teacher Rhonda Mullins and girls track coach Crystal Washington all described Trinity Gay as friendly and outgoing. She dreamed of becoming a surgeon.

“She was full of energy and life,” said Mullins, who had Gay in family and consumer science classes along with the Future

Educators of America club. “She was a kid that everybody wanted to teach.”

Near the end of a Monday morning news conference, grief counselors brought in a large purple banner bearing a hashtag that read “#LLT” for Long Live Trinity and adorned with expressions from students and staff. A therapy dog named Hannah Joy was also brought in.

Jacobs said Trinity Gay’s mother, Shoshana Boyd, who also attended Lafayette, had thanked him for support from the school and community, and noted that Trinity’s life was something to celebrate.

“Our hearts are burdened that she is not in our building anymore,” Jacobs said. A candlelight vigil is planned at 8 p.m. Monday on the school’s track, where Trinity Gay excelled. Trinity Gay was a standout sprinter, placing in the top five in several events at the state championships in May. Her father still holds the state record in the 100 set in 2001.(ap)

New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry missed his team’s game against Atlanta with stomach discomfort, and Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer — already wearing a sling after undergoing hand surgery — left the sidelines after being knocked over by a player.

Pelicans guard Langston Galloway bowled him over while attempting to save a loose ball. The good news is that neither is expected to miss time when the games start counting for real next week.

Neither is Kyrie Irving. On the night Cleveland got its starting lineup from Game 7 of last season’s NBA Finals together for the first time in this preseason, now that J.R. Smith has re-signed, Irving left in the second quarter of the Cavaliers’ match against Washington with a left calf strain.

Irving, who went scoreless in 10 minutes, joined a long list of players who are dealing with aches and pains as the preseason winds down.

Miami was without Justise Winslow (back) and Luke Babbitt (groin), and still haven’t seen Josh McRoberts (foot) and Josh Richardson (knee) on the floor in the preseason. Hassan Whiteside also missed the game because of a death in his family, and James Johnson tweaked his left foot to sideline him for the second half.

Orlando rested Aaron Gordon and Bismack Biyombo, Washington’s Otto Porter (ribs) missed his second straight contest, Denver played without Emmanuel Mudiay (ankle) and Wilson Chandler (rest), plus was again missing Darrell Arthur (knee) and Gary Harris (groin).

With Gentry out, New Orleans was led by associate head coach Darren Erman. And Erman went without Anthony Davis (ankle), E’Twaun Moore (heel), Tyreke Evans (knee), Quincy Pondexter (knee), Robert Sacre (foot) and Jrue Holiday (personal).

The Los Angeles Clippers played

Cleveland’s forward trio of LeBron James (18), Kevin Love (15) and Tristan Thompson (14) combined for 47 points in the defending champs’ final tune-up game, but that was not enough to prevent a 96-91 loss to Washington. Thompson also grabbed 10 rebounds for the Cavaliers.

Andrew Nicholson scored 19 points and John Wall added 17 for Washington, which got four free throws from Marcus Thornton in the final 19 seconds. Thornton finished with 16 points. Miami’s Goran Dragic scored 17 points and handed out five assists as the Heat beat Orlando 107-77.

Dortmund hang on to win thriller against Sporting

LISBON - First-half goals by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Julian Weigl set Borussia Dortmund up for a 2-1 win at Sporting on Tuesday although they had to survive a second-half rally in Champions League Group F. Bruno Cesar pulled the Portuguese league runners-up back into the game when he scored from an indirect free kick midway through the second half but Borussia held on, leaving them on seven points and Sporting with three.

The hosts, without coach Jorge

Jesus who was suspended, made a bright start but the Bundesliga side struck the first blow. Aubameyang outmuscled Ruben Semedo as the two chased the ball, left the defender on the ground and dinked the ball over Rui Patricio with his left foot in the ninth minute.

Juventus’ goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon makes a save.

Sporting thought they had levelled in the 39th minute when Sebastian Coates turned the ball in at the far post from a corner but it was controversially disallowed for a push on goalkeeper Roman Buerki.

Dortmund went further ahead two minutes before halftime as Weigl won a loose ball, evaded a tackle and side-footed a shot into the far corner from the edge of the area, the 21-year-old’s first goal for the club since he joined them

one year ago.

It was harsh on Sporting and the Lions hauled themselves back into the game after Buerki was forced to pick up a poor back pass from Marc Bartra.

William Carvalho touched the ball to substitute Cesar who blasted it through the wall of Dortmund players on the goal line in the 67th minute.

Bas Dost nearly levelled with a header almost immediately, Buerki

did well to save a dangerous Ezequiel Schelotto cross and Sporting then failed to find a finishing touch to a Gelson Martins shot as the Germans clung on.

“Today a young and inexperienced team played with such selfconfidence during the first half,” said Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel.

“Sporting took big risks after our goals....after scoring to make it 2-1 their fans got louder.” (rtr)

LYON - Less than two weeks after making a rare blunder with Italy, goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon was back to his vintage best on Tuesday as Juventus snatched a 1-0 win at Olympique Lyonnais in the Champions League.

Juan Cuadrado netted the only goal but Buffon was the man of the match, saving Alexandre Lacazette’s 35th minute penalty before making a couple of sensational saves after the break while Juve were down to 10 men following Mario Lemina’s sending off.

“We gave everything tonight, it was a tactical battle. We lost but we were up against a great Buffon.

He was sensational,” Lyon captain Maxime Gonalons said.

The Juve players also knew who they had to thank for the result, all going to congratulate their 38-yearold keeper after the final whistle was blown.

Buffon dived onto his left to save Lacazette’s penalty after Leonardo Bonucci brought down Mouctar Diakhaby in the box and he was still alert after the break. He palmed away Nabil Fekir’s shot with his right hand in the 50th minute and was magnificent again in the 71st, stopping Corentin Tolisso’s downward header from point-blank range.

“It was important not to lose that game when we found ourselves down to 10 men,” Buffon said.

“We suffered a lot but we were a bit lucky. In these matches, the little details make the difference.

“I’m just happy that I could help my team mates.” The result left Juve top of Group H with seven points from three games ahead of Sevilla, who beat Dinamo Zagreb 1-0, on goal difference. Lyon are third on three points two weeks before travelling to Turin. (rtr)

European mentality Holders are Real deal with five-goal show can spur Leicester’s domestic revival - Ranieri

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has asked for a change in mentality to revive the club’s Premier League campaign which is in stark contrast to their impressive Champions League form.

Champions Leicester sit 13th in the Premier League after a mixed start to the season while being on the brink of entering the Champions League knockout rounds after three group stage wins.

“We cannot continue in this way and our goal is to change our concentration in the Premier League,” Ranieri told British media.

“When you are playing in the

Champions League, your mind is more concentrated, you are more focused on the match.

“You lose something when you play in the league, that is normal, but I hope we can change this soon.

I am very proud on one side, while in the Premier League I’m very hungry.

“We are in a good position (in Europe) and our destiny is in our own hands. We have to stay calm now and change our mentality in the Premier League because Palace will be a very tough match.”

MADRID - Gareth Bale scored his first European goal in almost two years as holders Real Madrid moved into a commanding position in Champions League Group F after cruising to a 5-1 victory over Legia Warsaw on Tuesday.

Bale gave the hosts the lead in the 16th minute with a curled left-foot drive and an own goal by Legia’s Tomasz Jodlowiec, deflecting in Marcelo’s shot, doubled their advantage.

Miroslav Radovic pulled one back for the Poles from the penalty spot but Marco Asensio made it 3-1 in the 37th minute with a low shot on his Champions League debut.

Substitute Lucas Vazquez volleyed home a cross in the 68th minute and former Juventus striker Alvaro Morata rounded off the win by converting a pass from Cristiano Ronaldo in the 84th.

Real are second in Group F, level on seven points with Borussia Dortmund, and both teams will seal their place in the last 16 if Zinedine Zidane’s side win at Legia and the Germans beat Sporting Lisbon at home on Nov. 2.

“I’m happy with the result, with the goals and the performance,” Zidane told BeIN sports.

“Of course we can improve, our objective was to play very attacking football and we took risks, conceding a few chances, but the important thing was to win and accumulate points, and that’s what we did.”

There was trouble outside the Santiago Bernabeu stadium before kickoff on Tuesday, with five supporters and two police officers suffering minor injuries, according to local media reports.

On the pitch, Legia nearly caused the holders an early surprise with Jodlowiec shooting straight at Keylor Navas and midfielder Vadis Odjidja hitting the post.

Real took the lead soon after though, Bale cutting inside from the right to strike into the far corner for his first European goal since December 2014.

Jodlowiec turned in Marcelo’s shot soon after but a foul by Real defender Danilo allowed Radovic to reduce the deficit from 11 metres and net Legia’s first Champions League goal for 21 years.

Twenty-year-old winger Marco Asensio built on his impressive start

to his Real career by netting his fourth goal of the season after being teed up

by Ronaldo.

Ronaldo turned provider again by releasing substitute Morata for the fifth goal after Vazquez had lashed home the fourth.

The prolific Portuguese narrowly

missed out on adding to his haul of 98 goals in European competition by striking wide of the far post.

“Ronaldo played phenomenally, playing passes to everyone else,” added Zidane. “He didn’t score today but we have a game in four days’ time. (rtr)

Bell set bail at $5,000 each for Chazerae Taylor, 38, and his son, D’Markeo Taylor, 19, on wanton endangerment charges. Dvonta Middlebrooks, 21, is charged with wanton endangerment and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. His bail was set at $12,500.

Bell will assign attorneys for two of them. The younger Taylor already has a lawyer. Lexington police say Middlebrooks was in the parking lot of the Cook Out restaurant and fired multiple shots in the incident in which Trinity Gay was killed early Sunday. Court records show the Taylors admitted also firing shots.

Police spokeswoman Brenna Angel said police don’t believe Trinity Gay was in either of the vehicles involved.

Tyson Gay said he and his

daughter were very close, according to Lexington TV station WLEX, which spoke to him Sunday. “It’s so crazy. I have no idea what happened,” Gay told the station.

Grief counselors were at Lexington’s Lafayette High School on Monday for students and staff, Fayette County Public Schools spokeswoman Lisa Deffendall said.

Both Gay and his daughter attended the school.

Lafayette principal Bryne Jacobs, teacher Rhonda Mullins and girls track coach Crystal Washington all described Trinity Gay as friendly and outgoing. She dreamed of becoming a surgeon.

“She was full of energy and life,” said Mullins, who had Gay in family and consumer science classes along with the Future

Educators of America club. “She was a kid that everybody wanted to teach.”

Near the end of a Monday morning news conference, grief counselors brought in a large purple banner bearing a hashtag that read “#LLT” for Long Live Trinity and adorned with expressions from students and staff. A therapy dog named Hannah Joy was also brought in.

Jacobs said Trinity Gay’s mother, Shoshana Boyd, who also attended Lafayette, had thanked him for support from the school and community, and noted that Trinity’s life was something to celebrate.

“Our hearts are burdened that she is not in our building anymore,” Jacobs said. A candlelight vigil is planned at 8 p.m. Monday on the school’s track, where Trinity Gay excelled. Trinity Gay was a standout sprinter, placing in the top five in several events at the state championships in May. Her father still holds the state record in the 100 set in 2001.(ap)

New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry missed his team’s game against Atlanta with stomach discomfort, and Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer — already wearing a sling after undergoing hand surgery — left the sidelines after being knocked over by a player.

Pelicans guard Langston Galloway bowled him over while attempting to save a loose ball. The good news is that neither is expected to miss time when the games start counting for real next week.

Neither is Kyrie Irving. On the night Cleveland got its starting lineup from Game 7 of last season’s NBA Finals together for the first time in this preseason, now that J.R. Smith has re-signed, Irving left in the second quarter of the Cavaliers’ match against Washington with a left calf strain.

Irving, who went scoreless in 10 minutes, joined a long list of players who are dealing with aches and pains as the preseason winds down.

Miami was without Justise Winslow (back) and Luke Babbitt (groin), and still haven’t seen Josh McRoberts (foot) and Josh Richardson (knee) on the floor in the preseason. Hassan Whiteside also missed the game because of a death in his family, and James Johnson tweaked his left foot to sideline him for the second half.

Orlando rested Aaron Gordon and Bismack Biyombo, Washington’s Otto Porter (ribs) missed his second straight contest, Denver played without Emmanuel Mudiay (ankle) and Wilson Chandler (rest), plus was again missing Darrell Arthur (knee) and Gary Harris (groin).

With Gentry out, New Orleans was led by associate head coach Darren Erman. And Erman went without Anthony Davis (ankle), E’Twaun Moore (heel), Tyreke Evans (knee), Quincy Pondexter (knee), Robert Sacre (foot) and Jrue Holiday (personal).

The Los Angeles Clippers played

without Paul Pierce in Sacramento, after the veteran sprained an ankle while warming up for the game.

Cleveland’s forward trio of LeBron James (18), Kevin Love (15) and Tristan Thompson (14) combined for 47 points in the defending champs’ final tune-up game, but that was not enough to prevent a 96-91 loss to Washington. Thompson also grabbed 10 rebounds for the Cavaliers.

Andrew Nicholson scored 19 points and John Wall added 17 for Washington, which got four free throws from Marcus Thornton in the final 19 seconds. Thornton finished with 16 points. Miami’s Goran Dragic scored 17 points and handed out five assists as the Heat beat Orlando 107-77.

Miami got 16 points and 11 rebounds from Willie Reed, and 15 each from Dion Waiters and Tyler Johnson.

Serge Ibaka scored 15 points and grabbed nine rebounds for Orlando.

Atlanta’s Dwight Howard had 10 points and 11 rebounds in 23 minutes to power the Hawks to a 96-89 win against New Orleands. Kyle Korver and Dennis Schroder each had 13 as Atlanta went with what’s likely to be its opening-night starters.

Tim Hardaway Jr. led Atlanta with 16 points off the bench. Terrence Jones had a game-high 18 points for New Orleans. Oklahoma City’s Steven Adams had 17 points in a 97-87 win against Denver.

Enes Kanter had 15 points and Russell Westbrook had 12 points in 18 minutes for the Thunder. Danilo Gallinari led Denver with 18 points.

The Los Angeles Clippers became the first visiting NBA team to play at Sacramento’s new Golden 1 Center and beat the Kings 92-89.

IS car bombs, mortars slow down Iraqi advance on Mosul

KHAZER— Islamic State militants have deployed suicide car bombs and fired mortar rounds to slow down the advance of Iraqi troops outside a key town near the militant-held city of Mosul, an Iraqi army officer said Wednesday.

The officer from the 9th Division told The Associated Press that his troops were now around 1 kilometer (half mile) away from Hamdaniyah, a historically Christian town also known as Bakhdida.

Since Tuesday, IS has sent 12 car bombs, all of which were blown up before reaching their targets, he said, adding that Iraqi troops suffered a small number of casualties from the mortar rounds. The officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to reporters, did not provide specific figures.

Iraq launched a massive operation on Monday to retake Mosul, the country’s second largest city and the extremist group’s biggest urban bastion.

The operation is the largest launched by the Iraqi army since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. Some 25,000 troops, including Sunni tribal fighters, Kurdish forces known as the peshmerga and statesanctioned Shiite militias known as the Popular Mobilization Units are approaching the city from different directions.

The participation of the Shiite militias in the operation to retake the mainly Sunni Mosul has raised concerns that the campaign could inflame sectarian tensions. Rights groups have accused the Shiite militias of abuses in past campaigns against IS-held areas.

In a bid to alleviate those concerns, Shiite militia leaders on Tuesday announced that they will only focus on capturing the mostly

Shiite town of Tal Afar to the west of Mosul, and not enter the city itself.

“The only troops who will enter Mosul are the army and police, not the Popular Mobilization Units or the peshmerga,” said Hadi al-Amiri, the leader of the Badr Brigade, one of the largest Shiite militias. “This has been agreed upon,” he said at a press conference in the Shiite holy city of Najaf.

Amnesty International said in a report released Tuesday that Iraqi government and paramilitary forces detained, tortured or killed hundreds of Sunni Arab civilians fleeing IS-held areas during the operation to retake the Sunni city of Fallujah, west of Baghdad, earlier this year.

The Iraqi government has denied any systematic violations by security forces or the militias, and says individuals have been held accountable for occasional abuses. (ap)

Online outrage as Malaysian schoolgirls forced into snake pit

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia suspended a child team-building programme on Wednesday after a video emerged online of a group of frightened schoolgirls being made to wade through a muddy snake pit.

The programme, held in the western state of Perak, was part of a motivational camp for children aged between 10 and 12 and was conducted by a school and the Malaysian Civil Defence Department.

The three-minute video, which drew outrage on social media, showed the schoolgirls screaming and crying after they were asked to cross a muddy pool which they were told contained two pythons.

As they were crossing the pool, more snakes were thrown in. The

students were also sprayed with water and told to “get in and dive” by male instructors, who were not seen on-screen.

Perak civil defence department director Col. Mohd Noor Hassan Ashaari Sulaiman told state news agency Bernama the camp’s coordinators had modelled the exercise on training videos found on Youtube.

The use of snakes was not endorsed by the department and was not part of its self-development module, he said, adding that the snakes used were non-poisonous.

“This incident cannot be taken lightly,” he was quoted as saying.

The department had since suspended four coaches and six assistants pending internal investigations. (rtr)

NEW DELHI — New Delhi’s zoo has been closed temporarily after nine birds died from suspected bird flu last week, a zoo official said Wednesday. Autopsies conducted on the birds confirmed that at least two of them died from H5N1 avian influenza, said Riaz Ahmed Khan, the National Zoological Park’s curator.

“We decided to close the zoo for a few days as a precautionary measure,” Khan said, adding that the zoo would reopen next week.

He said the birds, including some ducks and two pelicans, died Friday

and Saturday.

The zoo, one of the largest in India, has about 1,400 animals, reptiles and birds belonging to around 130 species. It gets about 2.2 million visitors annually.

The H5N1 avian influenza virus poses no apparent threat to humans, but highly pathogenic strains can be deadly to domestic poultry and, rarely, wild birds.

In May, zoo workers were vaccinated against rabies after 46 spotted deer at the park died from the virus. (ap)

JAKARTA - A consortium building a longawaited mass rapid transit (MRT) railway in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta has replaced two top officials, a representative said on Wednesday, amid doubts the $3-billion dollar project can be completed on time.

A consortium of Indonesian and Japanese firms, including Obayashi Corp, Shimizu Corp and Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co Ltd, is building the MRT in the city of 10 million people, which is among the world’s most traffic-logged.

“The chief executive and operational director have been changed,” said Tubagus Hikmatullah, the corporate secretary of PT MRT, but he declined to elaborate on the reason. The city governor’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

Media reported that the changes followed an announcement by the old management of a delay until 2019 in the opening of the project’s first, $1.7-billion phase, and complaints over land acquisition.

Delayed repeatedly for more than 20 years, the project was finally launched in 2013, with the first line originally scheduled to have been opened in 2018. (rtr)

Jakarta police hold seminar on security ahead of polls

JAKARTA - The Jakarta police on Tuesday organized a seminar on security and law enforcement during the 2017 regional elections.

“The seminar is aimed at distinguishing between administrative violations, disputes among participants and criminal acts during the elections,” deputy Jakarta police chief Brig. Gen. Suntana said.

The Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu), police department and Jakarta prosecutors office should carry out their duties comprehensively to avoid security disruptions, he said.

The Jakarta police must secure South Tangerang, Tangerang City and Jakarta during the polls. Proper security measures can be taken only when the police know the election rules, he said, adding that they should understand what penalties and steps to take so that they can act clearly.

“In addition, the Bawaslu can investigate and disqualify candidate pairs if they violate rules,” Suntana said.

The discussion was attended by Jakarta Election Supervisory Agency chairman Mimah Susanti, Bawaslu commissioner Muhammad Jufri and Jakarta General Elections Commissioner (KPU Jakarta) Sumarno. (ant)

The art of ngoncang or pounding mortar also enlivened the opening of the Buleleng Festival (Bulfest) 2016. No half-heartedly, there are ten pounding art troupes presenting this agrarian art predominantly used in religious ceremonies.

The Head of the Buleleng Culture and Tourism, Nyoman Sutrisna, said the ten pounding art troupes involved came from the subdistrict of Buleleng, Sukasada and Sawan. Each troupe may consist of six to ten people. They used round and elongated mortar made from teak wood or devil tree wood with the length of two to three meters. In the middle it has a hole and is hit by using wooden round-end pestle generally used for pounding rice.

This pounding art is representing the excitement of gratitude of housewives when celebrating post-harvest time. Rhythm of the beat sounding harmonious symbolizes their unity and oneness. As ancestral heritage, the existence is still preserved to these days. Through the Bulfest, younger generations are expected to know about this tradition. They will see in person the shape and pattern of pounding the rice mortar. Meaning of the sound produced becomes a symbol of harmony of life. Visitors can learn and know a lot of things that Buleleng has diverse cultures and traditions,” he said. (kmb)

HONG KONG - Official investment figures may be feeble, but exporters at China’s largest trade fair say they are ploughing more money into robotics, industrial automation and new product development to offset rising costs.

Labourers work at a construction site in Beijing’s Central Business District (CBD) area, China, October 19, 2016. private companies are the primary source of investment, innovation and productivity growth.

Heavy machinery manufacturers at the fair said they spend over 30 percent of their investment capital upgrading production lines each year, while many building materials and household equipment makers said they were pumping money into automation.

China is achieving average annual growth of 18 percent in research and development (R&D) spending, compared with just 1.4 percent across the rest of the world’s upper-middle-income countries, according to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics.

While most exporters surveyed aim to boost spending, around 20 percent said they planned to cut investment. Other sectors that may

be under pressure as global growth slows, such as textiles and apparel, will feature later at the fair, which runs until Nov. 4.

RISE OF THE ROBOTS China is increasingly moving to modernise its manufacturing industry with robotics and automation, driven in part by a shortage of skilled workers and rapidly rising wages that threaten to erode its appeal as a low-cost workshop to the world.

“Robots do a better job than workers; the quality is more stable,” said Zhejiang Momali Sanitary Utensils Co general manager Selina Song. Song said, however, that a drop in sales was slowing the company’s push to boost automation.

Some economists said new and

emerging sectors such as high-end manufacturing equipment would see more room for development.

“It’s because these sectors get the government’s support. They still see more room to grow despite slowing economic growth globally,” said Nomura China economist Wendy Chen, who is based in Shanghai.

Liu Qian, deputy general manager of Nanjing Panda Electronics Import & Export Co, said investing in robots and automation was crucial, given wages had doubled in five years.

Several Chinese provinces have slowed or halted increases to minimum wages this year, as companies face pressure from rising expenses and weakening global demand, something that is also prompting more companies to shift sales to

within China.

Liu acknowledged it would take longer for some companies to break even, given the size of the initial capital injection in automation and robots.

China is aiming for a top-10 ranking in automation for its industries by 2020 by putting more robots in its factories, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).

Torpedo Hsu, sales manager at heavy-machinery transmissions maker CMEC, said the company plans to invest 10 to 20 percent more in spending next year, which it hopes will lead to a pick-up in orders after an expected 10 percent fall in export orders this year. “Our company’s strategy is that when the business is not doing well, we spend more,” Hsu said.(rtr)

Ngoncang Poses an Expression of Gratitude after Rice Harvest

Chinese firms say to ramp up investment as costs rise At the Canton Fair, which kicked off this weekend for companies in the household electronics, decorative materials and building sectors - other sectors follow later in the month - more than 80 percent of companies quizzed by Reuters said they would be spending more next year.

That would represent a significant shift if matched throughout China’s economy. Official data on Wednesday showed private sector investment in fixed assets in the first nine months grew just 2.5 percent, picking up from a record low of 2.1 percent in the first eight months.

Kison Van said his company, Ningbo Cixi Import and Export Holdings, which makes fans and heaters, needs to develop three to four new products every year to stay competitive.

“It’s important to continuously invest in R&D because once a new product comes out, you see it everywhere at the Canton Fair,” said Van, one of tens of thousands of salesman at a fair that sprawls over 1.2 million square metres, almost twice the size of the world’s largest mall.

More than 65 percent of the 103 exhibitors polled by Reuters in China’s southern city of Guangzhou expect to boost spending by up to 20 percent in 2017, while 16.5 percent expect to raise spending by more than 20 percent.

That will be welcome news to leaders in Beijing, as China’s private companies, which make up the bulk of exhibitors at the fair, are a crucial engine of growth for the economy, unlike the largely inefficient and indebted state-owned sector.

Chinese growth slowed to a 25year low of 6.9 percent last year, and third-quarter figures released on Wednesday put it on track for about 6.7 percent this year. Economists say the country’s mid-sized

The Jembrana farmers’ sport known as makepung (buffalo race) is an interesting and unique attraction, that not only brings joy to the farmers but also entertains people from all over Bali an well as people from all over the world, as evidenced by the increasing number of people who show up to watch each buffalo race. Makepung are now held 3 or 4 times a year.

Makepung has been dubbed as the ‘traditional grand prix’. The Balinese word makepung means ‘romping buffalo’ and has been closely associated to Jembrana for a long time. The sport originated in the common ploughing of the paddy fields after harvest, but then developed in a race involving the farmers becoming jockeys on their buffalo drawn ploughs.

The Jembrana Regent Cup buffalo race that took place at the Satya Jayanti Circuit, on Sunday (Aug. 14) was especially interesting as the typical Jembrana racetrack was all muddy from the heavy rain that fell the day before

the race. The mud made it especially challenging for the jockeys to direct their buffalo.

The muddy conditions did stop thousands of buffalo race the lovers to throng the racetrack from early morning. Amongst the makepung were the Regent of Jembrana I Putu Artha, Chairman of the Jembrana House of Representatives I Ketut Sugiasa, Deputy Chief of Jembrana Police Anak Agung Gede Rai Laba, Commander of the 1617/Jembrana District Military Nana Sulistyo, Regional Secretary of Jembrana Gede Gunadnya and other officials.

The muddy circuit certainly impacted the speed of the buffalo

as mud stuck to the wheels making the carts slip form side to side. The competition between East Ijogading Block and West Ijogading Block was tight with both teams alternately taking the lead in each round.

In the final round, West Ijogading Block won one point over East Ijogading Block with a score of 28: 27. After handing out the trophy, Regent Artha mentioned that the buffalo races are an outstanding attraction. “The buffalo race is very unique and attracts people from all over – especially foreign visitors visiting Jembrana”, he said, adding that the general public is very interested in this race and more and more people attend each race- even when the track is muddy.

“The main goal is not to present a winner but rather to preserve this unique tradition”, added regent Artha.(kmb)

PDAM difficult to open new network

GIANYAR - Municipality Waterworks (PDAM) Gianyar has generated revenue of IDR 3 billion annually. Although the revenue is quite large, a total of 55,640 subscribers in Gianyar are still unable to get excellent services. This condition occurred due to a number of constraints faced by the PDAM Gianyar. This condition was recognized by Managing Director of PDAM Gianyar, Made Sastra Kencana, Monday (Oct. 17).

Sastra Kencana explained the revenue earned by the PDAM Gianyar each year is indeed quite large, reaching IDR 3 billion.

Nevertheless, it is still unable to provide maximal services. One of the causes is the difficulty to open new network. “This new network should be built by cutting a bit of road body, but it is very difficult for us to do. Moreover, there is no coordination with the Public Works in the district, provincial or central government,” he said.

The management has long been trying to build coordination with the Public Works, and this coordination has even been communicated to central government. But so far, there is no response. “This MoU submission has long been

conveyed, not only to the province but also to central government. So far, there is no response,” he said.

Due to this condition, the pipelines installed in the 1980s have not been replaced until these days. Due to overdue usage, many leaks cannot be resolved. “On average the pipeline network is old-fashioned, installed around the 1980s and 1990s, so that many leaks currently occur. We have tried to address the leaks with a variety of efforts,” he explained.

He added that the company could only install pipelines on drainage channel. However, it is not done because if the pipelines leak, bacteria in the gutter will come into the pipelines and harm water quality. “We do not want to take risks when the water is dirty, let alone harm consumers,” he explained.

Solution to break this deadlock, said Kencana, is the willingness of people to allow their land for pipeline network installation. “All this time, people complain if their land is used to install pipelines. Actually, this is the solution. If there is another solution such as making utility network, the budget is very high. Our capital does not afford it,” he said. (kmb35)

Unfavorable weather

Pupuan coffee production slumps 60 percent

TABANAN - Unfavorable weather condition due to frequent rains in dry season has caused coffee production of Pupuan to decrease at least 60 percent. The Head of the Tabanan Plantation and Forestry Agency, Roemy Liestyowati, said some time ago that decline in the production of cacao and coffee plantations indeed often happens every leap year. It can be seen from the experience of previous years where every leap year or four years there will be a decline in the production. It happens every leap year and always rains in dry season. As a result, pollination process that should happen finally fails because the flowers fall off.

One of the causes is the difficulty to open new network.

The decline in coffee production was admitted by a coffee farmer of Pupuan, Ketut Suardika. On Monday (Oct. 17), this year’s harvest has decreased drastically when compared to last year’s, reaching 60 percent. In last year’s harvest season, the average coffee production of farmers reached 600 -700 kg per hectare, but this year only reaches 300-400 kg per hectare.

Similarly, the quality of coffee also decreased when compared to

last year’s.

The decline in coffee production, according to Suardika, occurs due to the impact of extreme weather characterized by high level of rainfall and high temperature.

“This year the season change and rainy season seem to last longer than last year,” he said.

Different from rice crop requiring much water availability, coffee plants require very stable weather condition, or in dry

season coffee plants require sufficient heat condition as well as adequate rainfall in rainy season.

“This year, heat and rain come beyond the season. As a result, coffee flowers that should thrive in dry season face imperfect process because the current dry season is interspersed with rain,” explained Suardika.

To address this season change, farmers have anticipated by fertilization and treatment of plants.

For this case, farmers are willing to spend higher costs than ever before. However, these measures still do not much help increase their coffee production. Farmers also experience a decline in the revenue.

Though going through decline in production, it does not necessarily mean if the price of coffee is expensive. The price has decreased when compared to last year’s where it remains to reach IDR 2.2 million per 100 kg. (kmb24)

The Shenzhou 11 spacecraft that blasted off Monday morning docked with the Tiangong 2 station using an automated maneuver worked out during missions to an earlier experimental station.

Having changed from his space suit into blue overalls, veteran mission commander Jing Haipeng opened the hatch and entered the station shortly after 6 a.m. Beijing time (2200 GMT), followed by astronaut Chen Dong, who is making his first journey into space, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.

“The two astronauts extended greetings to all the people of the nation in the space lab, and checked the status of the space complex,” Xinhua said.

The space station launched Sept.

15 is orbiting about 393 kilometers (244 miles) above the earth.

The mission displays the growing sophistication of the country’s manned program that first launched a human into space 13 years ago.

During their 30-day stay, the astronauts will conduct experiments in medicine and space-related technologies, and test systems and processes in preparation for the launching of the station’s core module in 2018. A fully functioning space station is on course to begin full operations six years from now and slated to run for at least a decade.

China’s manned space program has also conducted a spacewalk, while the lunar program recently

decommissioned its Yutu rover and is considering sending a crew to the moon.

The Tiangong, or “Heavenly Palace,” space stations are considered stepping stones to a mission to send a rover to Mars by the end of the decade. Communications with the disused Tiangong 1 station have been cut and it is expected to burn up on entering the atmosphere next year.

China was excluded from the International Space Station mainly due to U.S. legislation barring such cooperation and concerns over the Chinese space program’s strongly military character.

Chinese officials are now looking to internationalize their own program by offering to help finance other countries’ missions to Tiangong 2, which, at 60 tons when completed, would still be considerably smaller than the 420ton ISS.(ap)

Chibok girls freed by Nigeria’s Boko Haram risk rejection back home - experts

ABUJA/DAKAR - The 21 Nigerian schoolgirls freed by Boko Haram militants last week after two-and-a-half years’ captivity urgently need support to reintegrate into their communities where they risk abuse and rejection, aid groups and psychologists said on Tuesday.

Around 220 girls were seized from their school in 2014 in Chibok in northeastern Borno state, where Boko Haram has waged

a seven-year insurgency aimed at creating an Islamic state, killing thousands and displacing more than 2 million people.

The militants released 21 of the Chibok girls after the Red Cross and the Swiss government brokered a deal, and are willing to negotiate the release of 83 more, President Muhammadu Buhari’s spokesman said on Sunday.

Yet the freed girls could face stigma, re-

jection and further trauma when they return home, according to Patricia Grey, head of women’s protection and empowerment for the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in northeast Nigeria.

“Women and girls held by Boko Haram have fear and anxiety about how their families and communities will receive them ... people being scared of you is traumatising in its own right,” Grey told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

“People often call former captives Boko Haram supporters or the enemy, and this could hinder girls getting the help they need as they fear the abuse will be even worse if they do so.”

Many Nigerians fear those abducted by Boko Haram have been radicalised and may recruit others once home, and that their children born of rape may have been tainted by the “bad blood” of the militants, according to a report by International Alert and the U.N. children’s agency (UNICEF).

This fear has been fuelled by a surge in the use of children in suicide bombings by Boko Haram in West Africa, leaving those born of rape at even greater risk of being ostracised, said Gianfranco Rotigliano, acting representative for UNICEF Nigeria.

“SUFFERING IN SILENCE” The freed Chibok girls will be assessed by health workers to identify issues such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, said psychologist Fatima Akilu, who used to run a state deradicalisation programme for Boko Haram members.

“They will be feeling very unstable, very bewildered and overwhelmed,” Akilu said.

But the girls may face less stigma than others abducted by Boko Haram because of widespread support and the worldwide attention on their plight, she added.

The Islamist militants have kidnapped at least 2,000 girls and women since 2014, turning them into cooks, sex slaves and fighters, according to rights group Amnesty International. It is unclear what will happen to the freed Chibok girls in the long-term.

Amina Ali, the first of the Chibok girls to be released from Boko Haram captivity in May, has since been held in a house in Abuja for what the state has called a “restoration process”. She said in August that she “just wanted to go home”.

Psychologist Somiari Demm, who counselled former Boko Haram captives sponsored to go to the United States to study, said Nigeria’s mental health services were lacking. “As a result, we end up with girls and women that are suffering in silence,” said Demm, adding that support must also be provided to the girls’ families after years of uncertainty.

“Any attempts to reintegrate these girls into an unstable environment will only create more instability, and exacerbate their trauma,” she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

A group of U.N. human rights experts said in a statement that providing support for the girls was not only a moral duty but also a legal obligation under international law.

Boko Haram controlled a swathe of land around the size of Belgium at the start of 2015, but Nigeria’s army has recaptured most of the territory. The group still stages suicide bombings in the northeast, as well as in neighbouring Niger and Cameroon.(rtr)

Erectile dysfunction may improve with exercise

PORTO - Men who have difficulty maintaining erections may benefit from exercise or physical activity, according to a new analysis.

A growing body of evidence has suggested physical activity could improve erectile function, but the authors of the new report say that until now, no one had looked at all the studies together.

The topic is important, they told Reuters Health by email, because the prevalence of erectile dysfunction ranges from 8 percent among men in their 20s and 30s, up to 37 percent among men in their early 70s.

“This sexual disorder can significantly deteriorate quality of life and is often neglected in clinical practice,” said the researchers, who were led by Dr. Andre Silva of the University of Porto in Portugal.

For the new study, the researchers searched for randomized controlled trials testing exercise and physical activity as a therapy for erectile dysfunction. They found seven studies published between 2004 and 2013 that included a total of 505 men, who were tracked for anywhere from eight weeks to two years. Average ages ranged from 43 to 69 years.

Altogether, 292 men were ran-

domly assigned to complete aerobic exercises, pelvic floor muscle exercises or a combination of exercises. The other 213 men were not told to exercise.

Erectile function was measured using the International Index of Erectile Function. Scores range from 5 to 25; men with no erectile dysfunction have scores of 22 to 25, and those with the most severe dysfunction score between 5 and 7.

Overall, men who exercised had their scores increase by an average of 3.85 points, compared to men who did not exercise.

Exercises specific to pelvic floor muscles didn’t seem to yield a benefit.

Among men with an increased cardiovascular risk, coronary heart disease or prostate removal, however, any type of exercise led to improved erectile function scores.

A take-home message from this analysis is that exercise should have a role in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, said Dr. Landon Trost, who is head of andrology and male infertility at the Mayo Clinic

Abrasion at Yehembang increasingly widespread Two stalls damaged

NEGARA - The impact of abrasion on Yehembang Beach, Mendoyo, is increasingly widespread. Moreover, the onslaught of waves hoofing the coast near the Yehembang cemetery on Monday night (Oct. 17) caused two semi-permanent stalls to be destroyed. In addition, a number of skulls and bones previously buried in the ground near the beach appeared and scattered among the ruins of revetment.

A number of residents met on Tuesday (Oct. 18) admitted that the height of sea waves on Monday night reached five meters.

The seawater even hoofed two semi-permanent building of stalls near Yehembang cemetery. Stall owners realized the gigantic waves,

so that they immediately evacuated the entire merchandise before the waves came to batter. Right now, one of the stall owners, Ketut Naya, can only surrender and watch his stall building only leaving timbers and roof tiles. He claimed to suffer losses reaching millions as a result of the accident.

The abrasion also undermined the connecting roads of Pasar hamlet to parking lot of Rambutsiwi Temple. Moreover, the space left

at shoreline and the rural road is less than one meter. If this condition is neglected and without immediate handling, it is concerned the road will be broken. Residents also rediscovered human bones around the coast. A number of Mendoyo subdistrict police members already came down to check the location of the discovery of the human bones. After investigating crime scene, the police handed over to headman of Yehembang

to be buried again at the local cemetery.

Headman of Yehembang, I Made Semadi, told journalists that the abrasion issue has been reported to the government of Jembrana to be further forwarded to provincial government. Surrounding residents and the village very much hoped the abrasion could be immediately handled because it can threaten public facilities such as roads and cemetery. (kmb26)

Roche’s lung cancer drug wins U.S. approval

The logo of Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche is seen outside their headquarters in Basel, January 30, 2014.

ZURICH - Swiss drugmaker Roche Holding AG’s new immunotherapy, Tecentriq, won approval on Tuesday from U.S. health regulators as a second-line lung cancer treatment, a decision seen likely to erode Bristol-Myers Squibb’s position in this hotly contested market.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Tecentriq to be used in non-small cell lung cancer patients previously treated with chemotherapy, regardless of whether their tumors express a protein called PD-L1. People with high PD-L1 levels are generally more receptive to immunotherapy.

In study results released this month, patients getting Tecentriq lived on average 4.2 months longer than those taking chemotherapy.

Tecentriq is aiming for a share of the treatment market now dominated by Bristol’s Opdivo, a drug which doctors can also prescribe for patients regardless of their levels of

immune-system suppressing PDL1 expression.

In the first half, Opdivo sales hit $1.58 billion, about three times that of Merck & Co’s drug, Keytruda, that is prescribed only for people who express a certain level of PD-L1.

Analysts estimate Tecentriq’s annual sales across all cancers - it is already approved for bladder cancer and will seek approval for more indications - will reach $4 billion in 2021, according to consensus figures compiled by Thomson Reuters.

Tecentriq, Opdivo and Keytruda are the initial entrants in a highly promising class of immunotherapy drugs now transforming cancer treatment and are jockeying for pole position, either for use alone or in combination with other drugs.

Lung cancer, responsible for 20 percent of the annual 8 million annual cancer deaths worldwide, is the top commercial opportunity. (rtr)

Job opportunities narrow, SMEs increasingly proliferate

BANGLI - The number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Bangli district has continued to increase since the past three years.

The players are not only the elderly, but also young people. This partly happens due to the narrowing job opportunities. However, in the past few months the productivity of business turns sluggish as the impact of the economic downturn at home and overseas. This was recognized by the Head of Bangli Cooperatives and the SMEs Agen-

cy, I Dewa Gede Suparta, Tuesday (Oct. 18).

He explained that it is still potential for the SMEs to develop in Bangli. It covers very diverse fields ranging from trade to agriculture, non-agriculture to services. From 2014 until this year, the number of business tends to increase from about 32,000 to 42,000 units.

“Within the past three years, the number of business tends to increase and the type also varies,” he explained.

Business players are not only the elderly, but also young people.

Reason of the establishment is quite diverse, such as the difficulty of finding job opportunities in urban areas up to the age which is not possible to take hard activities.

“Similarly, the government very intensively provides capital assistance. It becomes an incentive to open a new business,” said Suparta.

A businessman, said this former spokesperson of the government

of Bangli, does not only market the products in local and national market. Some have successfully penetrated the export market. Since the past three months, most of the businesses got challenges threatening their survival. Their product marketing is quite sluggish as the impact of weakening economy.

“The economy is weakening and has quite impact on product marketing,” he said.

Nevertheless, he mentioned to still provide guidance for busi-

nesses, both in terms of marketing and product quality improvement.

According to him, it is important to prepare the marketing when purchasing power has recovered. In addition, his agency is still trying to establish cooperation of promotion, one of which is made with the Ministry of Cooperatives and the SMEs. “Now, the marketing tends to target the local market, but the coaching is still given. It is meant to anticipate the request from foreign market,” said Suparta. (kmb45)

From page 1 This village is inhabited by some 5,000 households. With such population density, young people are of significant number at the village. As worried about the influence of anarchistic organizations destroying their future, Culik immediately stipulated a perarem.

Chief of Culik customary village, Ketut Pasek, said on Monday (Oct. 17) that the perarem has set forth that anarchistic mass organizations are not allowed to enter Culik.

“Any billboards related to such mass organization found at Culik customary village will be directly dismantled. The village should be free from any mass organizations,” he said.

Based on the perarem, Culik customary village strictly prohibits its villagers from joining a certain mass organization. Local youths are only allowed to join the customary village youth club or the STT. “This kind of prohibition is first implemented at Culik customary village. We’ve been applying this

since 2015. So far, the results of this perarem have quite positive impact,” he said.

With this pararem, the development of Culik young generation becomes more focused. Any residents being indifferent to this perarem will be imposed with strict enough sanction set forth by Culik customary village. Residents will be immediately summoned and invited to village meeting. The sanction will be directly imposed on the spot according to agreement having been made. “Just by being summoned, this social sanction has been considered quite severe, let alone being invited to perarem meeting of customary village,” he said.

At the beginning of implementing the pararem is admitted to be quite heavy. However, after passing for almost a year, the local support is quite large. Thus, the threat of anarchistic mass organizations undermining the mindset of local young generation can be prevented. As planned, the result of this prarem will be adopted by the district government and customary village middle assembly (MMDP)

Karangasem. At least, it could also be implemented at other villages in Karangasem. When meeting with the Karangasem police and the MMDP recently, Karangasem

Police Chief, Sugeng Sudarso, strongly supported this implementation throughout villages.

“Customary village becomes the last strength to fortify the

communities from the threat of outside influences. They include the influence of anarchistic mass organizations,” said Chief of the Karangasem Police. (gik)

Irrigation channel at Jatiluwih potential to generate electricity TABANAN - In fact, the irrigation channel is not only functioned to drain water to paddy fields. However, with the application of appropriate technology, this irrigation channel can generate electricity. This potential is found at Jatiluwih. To that end, the government of Tabanan makes collaboration with Taiwa Seiki Corporation of Japan to undertake construction of micro hydro electric energy at Jatiluwih.

With the application of appropriate technology, this irrigation channel can generate electricity.

In strengthening this cooperation, Regent of Tabanan, Ni Putu Eka Wiryastuti, received the visits from Taiwa Seiki Corporation led

by President Roychi Takai and his entourage, on Tuesday (Oct. 18).

Regent Eka explained that she received a report about the partnership. In fact, Tabanan has similar potential in terms of agricultural land with Japan applying the technology, while the distinction is only in terms of climatology. “With the advancement of technology, Japan is able to develop advanced agricultural technology based on electric power and information technology.

Through strong discipline, people can create productive, efficient and quality agricultural

production,” she said.

In the meantime, the President of Taiwa Seiki Corporation, Ryoichi Takai, expressed his gratitude for the warmth welcome by the government of Tabanan which has received the entourage. He said to have visited Jatiluwih and was amazed at the terracing system applied by the farmers in Tabanan.

According to him, there are many similarities of the agricultural system applied in Tabanan with Toyama, Japan. These similarities make him sure if this micro hydro technology can be applied. To that end, Takai hoped that this cooperation could be continued on an ongoing basis.

Previously, the district government had made a visit to Toyama Japan to see in person the application of micro hydro electric energy source. As planned, if this cooperation is applied there will be an assistance of engine to be installed at the irrigation channel of Subak Jatiluwih. The hydro power taking advantage of flowing water in the irrigation channel will generate electric energy with a total of 10 KW. Later on, the electricity produced can be taken advantage for street lighting, temples and subak (irrigation cooperative) hall. (kmb24)

Atlas Pearls Celebrates the Spirit of Indonesia and Announces Atlas Ambassadors

As one of the few Indonesian female surfers on the pro-circuit, Diah has rightly been described as a “rare pearl”. Diah started surfing when she was 12. She took up the sport with her father, and then quickly became addicted to surfing. Now at 22 years of age, Diah is a pro-surfer and sponsored by Rip Curl. In the very competitive world of surfing, Diah demonstrates incredible drive, perserverance and strength. As a lover of the ocean, Diah is a perfect advocate for Atlas Pearls, and the Ambassador of the Atlas Pearls “Surfed” Collection.

Maria was catapulted into the world of fashion and media when she was crowned Miss Indonesia 2014. By the end of that year, she ranked top 15 in Miss World 2014 held in London.

Originally from the island of Bali, Maria now lives in Jakarta but travels back to the “island of the Gods” to visit family and to represent Atlas Pearls. Maria is proud to represent a pearling company originating and based in Indonesia.

Review: ‘The Joneses’ is another studio comedy misfire

The modern studio comedy increasingly feels limp, suffocated by the financial imperatives of high-concept plots and desperately in search of signs of life. Greg Mottola’s “Keeping Up With the Joneses” is, like many before it, fine enough. But it mostly goes down as another collection of funny people stuck in too narrowly clichéd roles in an overly familiar story.

It’s now been more than 10 years since “The 40 Year-Old Virgin” and five since “Bridesmaids.”

(Feel old yet?) There have, undoubtedly, been good comedies since, namely things with Melissa McCarthy in them, Noah Baumbach’s “Frances Ha” and anything Wes Anderson is putting out. But there has been perhaps no greater casualty to the constrictions of blockbuster-centric Hollywood than comedy. The freedom necessary for comedy to thrive is mostly found on television; the action is with “Broad City,” ‘’Atlanta,” ‘’Inside Amy Schumer” and others.

Mottola, the director of “Adventureland” and “Superbad,” has been at the center of comedy on both the big screen and on TV (“Arrested Development,” the underrated “Clear History”), but “Keeping Up With the Joneses,” written by Michael LeSieur (“You, Me and Dupree”) doesn’t have much of the naturalism that has distinguished his best.

Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher play Jeff and Karen Gaffney, a regular suburbanite couple experiencing an empty nest for the first time with their kids away at summer camp. An impossibly stylish and accomplished couple moves in next door, the Joneses (Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot, taking a break from her Wonder Woman duties). He’s a travel writer who can blow his own glass; she writes a cooking blog and wears cocktail dresses to neighborhood barbeques.

But what makes the Joneses most jealous of them is their easy affection with one another. Though its name is taken from the status-obsessed phrase first made famous by a 1913 comic strip and coopted by the Kardashians, this “Keeping Up With the Joneses” is a comedy about marital passion rekindled.

That the Joneses are putting up a facade is evident from the start, but the movie cleverly subverts the nature of their secret identities. They are elite government spies of some sort, but not as far removed from

Culik customary village offers beautiful nature

Young generation well directed YOUNG generation of Bali is easily influenced to join in mass organization. It makes a number of customary villages in Bali worried about the fate of young generation in the future. Culik village, Abang, Karangasem, has a special way to counter this threat.

The local village fortifies their youth by making decision in the perarem or customary bylaw strictly prohibiting any kind of anarchistic organizations from entering the village.

This village is one of the mainstays having tourism potential in Karangasem. One of the most widely known is Amed attraction. Amed being famous for its diving attraction is part of the 12 customary hamlets namely the Tegallinggah, Kahang-Kahang, Kebon, Buayang, Pekandelan, Amertasari, Gria, Seloni, Babakan, Amed, Lebah and Mekarsari.

In the meantime, administratively, Culik village has four administrative villages namely the Kerta Mandala, Culik, Purwakerti and Labasari.

the normal squabbles and challenges of marriage as you might think.

The collision of international espionage thrills and quiet suburban life has become familiar by now thanks to the likes of “The Matador,” ‘’Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and “The Americans.” When the bullets start flying, “Keeping Up With the Jones” has some moves of its own, thanks to the talents of Galifianakis (here playing a naive, aw-shucks character that limits him) and the always game Fisher. Only Hamm manages to create a three-dimensional character: a James Bond secretly yearning to be a regular guy.

But whatever is cramping the style of “Keeping Up With Joneses” — whether it’s the PG-13 rating, the stock characters or a thin script — the feeling never leaves that everyone here could do better if they were really let loose. Alas, it’s going to take more than Wonder Woman to save the studio comedy.

“Keeping Up With the Joneses,” a 20th Century Fox release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sexual content, action/ violence and brief strong language.” Running time: 101 minutes. Two stars out of four.(ap)

Trump? Clinton? Many young Americans prefer giant meteor

BOSTON - Young Americans are so dissatisfied with their choices in this presidential election that nearly one in four told an opinion poll they would rather have a giant meteor destroy the Earth than see Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton in the White House.

The tongue-in-cheek question was intended to gauge young Americans’ level of unhappiness about their choices in the Nov. 8 election, said Joshua Dyck, codirector of UMass Lowell’s Center for Public Opinion, which conducted the poll alongside Odyssey, a social media platform.

The choice alluded to the Twitter hashtag “#GiantMeteor2016,” a reference to an imaginary presidential candidate used to express frustration about this year’s election choices.

Some 53 percent of the 1,247 people aged 18 to 35 said they would prefer to see a meteor destroy

the world than have Republican New York real estate developer Trump in the Oval Office, with some 34 percent preferring planetary annihilation to seeing the Democratic former Secretary of State win.

Some 39 percent said they would prefer that U.S. President Barack Obama declare himself president for life than hand over power to Clinton or Trump, with 26 percent saying the nation would do better to select its next leader in a random lottery.

Some 23 percent, nearly one in

four, preferred the giant meteor outcome to either Trump or Clinton.

“Obviously we don’t think that they’re serious,” Dyck said in a phone interview on Tuesday. “The fact that one in four of our young people pick ‘Giant Meteor’ tells you something about the political disaffection that is being shown by American youth.”

That contrasts with the surge of participation by young voters that helped propel Obama into the White House for his first term in the 2008 election.

When asked to choose between the actual candidates, Clinton easily led Trump with 54 percent of respondents to 21 percent in a two-way race.
