Drew Barrymore’s sets new sights for beauty brand
NEW YORK — Hollywood actress, director and author Drew Barrymore may soon add a new title to her resume: international retailer.
Barrymore launched her Flower brand of affordable cosmetics exclusively at Wal-Mart in 2013. Now she says she’s in talks with retailers overseas to sell the cosmetics in such places as China, South America, Australia and the United Kingdom. She’ll also be launching her own e-commerce business later this year.
Last year, she started selling an eyewear collection, also exclusively with Wal-Mart. And Barrymore told The Associated Press earlier this week she wants to expand into clothing, though it’s unlikely it will be with Wal-Mart, even though she said she will always give the Bentonville, Arkansas-based discounter “first right of refusal.” Barrymore didn’t want to use her name for the brand, saying she’s aware of the perils of a slapping celebrity name on a product. “The name of the game is about how you financially succeed fast enough so somebody doesn’t dump you, and grow slowly and thoughtfully so that you are just not a flash in the pan,” said Barrymore, 40, in a onehour address at the annual industry forum sponsored by investment bank Financo on Monday. Her father-in-law Arie Kopelman, the former president of Chanel, led the discussion in a room full of several hundred fashion industry executives. Barrymore, the mother of two toddlers, has found a successful niche in the beauty business. Unlike other cosmetic brands that spend a big portion of their money on advertising, the Flower brand spends most of its money on formulations and packaging. That results in premium makeup quality, she said. Flower Beauty, launched in 1,600 stores, is now in 2,500 stores, according to Wal-Mart spokeswoman Molly Blakeman. Neither Barrymore nor Wal-Mart offered sales volume. The Flower Beauty line, which includes fragrances, ranges from $5 for lip gloss to about $14 for foundation. Barrymore’s message is about self-empowerment and inner beauty, with messages like, “Happiness is the best makeup.” Wal-Mart says that the Flower eyewear is in all its stores that have vision centers, which number close to 3,000. Barrymore said it is the No. 1 brand of eyewear at the discounter, although Wal-Mart could not confirm that publicly. It ranges in price from $39 to $88. Wal-Mart, she said, has been a “great” partner. But, she added, “at the end of the day, it is business. It is not friendship. They will drop us like a hot potato if we are not doing well.” As for her clothing venture, Barrymore, known for her Bohemian chic style, noted she won’t be offering expensive clothes. “It’s not the way I shop,” she said.

Oscar winner Jamie Foxx helps rescue driver from vehicle
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx has played super villains and antiheroes on screen. The role of super hero he apparently saved for real life. Foxx and the victim’s father, who met and talked Tuesday, said that Foxx and one other person pulled a man from his burning truck moments before it became engulfed in flames near Foxx’s Southern California home. The California Highway Patrol said the pickup went off the road in unincorporated Ventura County then went into a ditch, rolling over multiple times and becoming engulfed in flames with a male driver trapped inside. Foxx said he heard the crash from his house, called 911, and ran to the scene. He said another man, an off-duty paramedic who was driving by, had large EMT scissors that the two used to break the truck’s window, cut the man’s seatbelt and pull him out. Foxx said “within five seconds” the truck went up in flames. Foxx said he told the man, “You’ve got to help me get you
out, because I don’t want to have to leave you. You’ve got angels around you.” “I don’t look at it as heroic,” Foxx told a group of reporters after meeting with Brad Kyle, the father of the 32-year-old victim Brett Kyle. “I just look at it like, you know, you just had to do something. And it all just worked out.” Brad Kyle said he had been shown surveillance video of the crash scene, and he saw several cars passing by without helping. “I just kept watching it and going ‘My god, my god, he didn’t have to do a thing,’ “ Kyle said, breaking into tears as he spoke. “I think we all hope that we can do something when the time is there. But the question is, do we act or do we fear for our own life? He did not.” Brett Kyle has broken bones and a punctured lung, but he is expected to survive. The CHP couldn’t confirm Foxx’s involvement, but the agency did say two witnesses helped extricate the driver, giving similar details to Foxx’s account. His role in the rescue was first reported by celebrity website TMZ. (ap)
On January 12, 2016, Garuda Indonesia launched a direct flight connecting Shanghai in China with Denpasar in Bali Island. “Recently, additional flights have been started to Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzou,” he added. With a population of over a billion people, China contributes at least 100 million tourists making overseas trips a year. The number of Chinese tourist arrivals in Bali has increased significantly over the past few years, placing China as the second-largest tourist contributor, after Australia. From January to November 2015, Bali received 642 thousand Chinese tourists, up 19 percent from 539,371 tourists recorded in the same period in 2014. Bali has set a target to attract 4.2 million foreign tourists in 2016, a slight increase from four million in 2015.

Alliance of Bali Community Leaders create petition to reject Benoa Bay reclamation
The Benoa Bay reclamation plan continues to be rejected by the majority of Balinese people. However, there are still those who underestimate the number of people who stand in opposition to the proposed project. So, in order to prove that the struggle to reject the reclamation plan indeed involves a great many people Balinese public figures have coalesced into the Alliance of Bali Community Leaders and have created a petition.
The petition that expressly rejects the Benoa Bay reclamation plan, includes five reasons for the rejection. First, the Benoa Bay is a sacred area that includes 60 sacred points that are used by Balinese people to perform various Hindu rituals. Second, Benoa Bay belongs to a conservation area as an ecosystem that serves an important function in maintaining Bali’s natural environment. Therefor the utilization status of this area cannot be arbitrarily changed
simply for the benefit of the reclamation plan’s investors. Third, the Benoa Bay reclamation plan will have negative impacts on the surrounding area, environmentally; flooding, coastal erosion, traffic congestion, losses of beautiful scenery, etc., socio-culturally: influx of migrants, social cohesion and culture will become vulnerable, increased criminality, etc. and economically: loss of the traditional livelihoods of surrounding
communities, loss of business opportunities for local businessmen (because of competition with large investors) and so forth. These negative impacts are evidenced by the results of the study carried out by a team of experts from Udayana University that states that the reclamation plan is not feasible.
