NEW YORK - Taylor Swift may be just 26 years old, but with a 10-year career behind her, multiple Grammy Awards and higher earnings than any other celebrity, she now has her own exhibition.

The Taylor Swift Experience arrived in New York this week for a three-month stay after opening at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles in 2014.

Displays include the country-

turned-pop singer’s handwritten lyrics, her piano, some of her 10 Grammy statuettes, her baby clothes and show costumes.

“It’s basically the story of Taylor Swift and the making of a modern

superstar. It’s funny, she’s 26 years old and she’s already a legend, but it’s actually the truth,” said Grammy Museum curator Nwaka Onwusa.

Swift started her career in Nashville as a guitar-strumming 16 year-old and was named by Forbes as the world’s top earning celebrity of 2016 with earnings of $170 million. (rtr)

People gather to listen to former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohammad speak during a 1MDB protest organized by pro-democracy group Bersih, calling for Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to resign, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia November 19, 2016.

Malaysian protesters march against Prime Minister Najib KUALA LUMPUR - Tens of thousands of protesters, undeterred by the arrests of opposition leaders, marched in Malaysia’s capital on Saturday demanding that Prime Minister Najib Razak step down.

Protesters clad in yellow shirts marched through the heart of Kuala Lumpur bringing traffic to a standstill in several tourist spots, wrapping up peacefully in front of the iconic Petronas Twin Towers after an initial plan to assemble at Independence Square was thwarted by police.

Najib has faced criticism since the Wall Street Journal reported last year that around $700 million from state fund 1Malaysia Development

Berhad (1MDB) was diverted into the personal bank account of the prime minister.

Najib ran into further trouble when lawsuits filed by the U.S. Justice Department in July said over $3.5 billion was stolen from 1MDB, which was founded by Najib, and that some of those funds flowed into the accounts of “Malaysian Official 1”, whom U.S. and Malaysian officials have identified as Najib.

The demonstration is unlikely to shake the prime minister, who has denied wrongdoing and weathered the crisis, consolidating power by cracking down on dissenters. Eleven activists and opposition leaders were arrested on Friday and at least two more were detained at the rally. The

deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said there could be more arrests in the coming days.

Maria Chin Abdullah, the chair of pro-democracy group Bersih that organised the rally, was detained under Malaysia’s Security Offences (Special Measures) Act, or Sosma, her lawyers said. The law was introduced in 2012 to protect the country from security and extremist threats.

Hoteliers offer shared management with local govt Lately, the issue of waste on the beach is mostly triggered by marine debris washed away by streams emptying out on some coastal locations in Buleleng. The addition of waste volume from rivers occurs when entering rainy season like these days.

Besides, the waste on the beach is still found scattered due to the behavior of people throwing waste at riverbanks or accidentally throw to the beach. In the meantime, coastal waste is triggered by the activities both on land and at sea frequently found littering coral reef area or floating on the sea surface.

One of the coastal areas are often littered by waste is Penimbangan Beach at Baktiseraga village, Buleleng. The coastal area currently starting to be visited local travelers is still facing waste problem. Independent waste handling begins to be conducted by groups of fishermen group with seaside stall owners.

Though with modest tools, they managed to keep the beach environment clean from marine debris washed away by ocean currents or streams emptying out on the beach.

However, they cannot afford to keep the wider area because of restricted operating costs and infrastructure.

Assistance was already proposed to relevant agency, but unfortunately it has not been fulfilled.

Similar endeavor has also been carried out by management of hotels or restaurants at some locations in Buleleng. However, the handling is just focused on the area of their tourist accommodation and the waste outside the area has not been handled properly. The endeavor is not optimal so that it often results in protests from local and foreign travelers or travel agencies. Other than protests, travelers or other parties openly complained about the inconvenience on coastal environment in Buleleng via email to hoteliers and restaurateurs in the area.

This was recognized by Dwi, a hotel manager at Lovina. When met on Friday (Nov. 18) he lately received complaints about waste problem that cannot be handled properly. They do not just protest, but some complain that they are uncomfortable when making a visit because the beach is littered by plas-

tic waste, shattered bottle or animal carcass. “Lately, businesspeople and we also often receive complaints about waste on the beach from travelers. We cannot deny because in reality the waste is still littering our beaches,” he said.

According to this man from Jembrana, the sanitation especially in the hotel or restaurant area has been well maintained by the respective employers. It is done by assigning employees to clean up the area of the beach every day.

As for the area outside the hotel or restaurant area, the waste man-

agement requires the participation of community members together with relevant agencies in local government and other institutions at administrative and customary village. “We carry out beach cleanup by assigning our staff alternately from 06:00 until 18:00. At particular time, we also perform with the PHRI along the Lovina Beach,” he explained.

To move sustainable handling, Dwi offered cooperation of tourism entrepreneurs, community leaders at fishermen village and relevant agencies to conduct coastal sanitation in

a sustainable manner. Moreover, if it requires operating costs, it can be agreed upon by tourism players by becoming donors through the corporate social responsibility program.

“If charged to the government, I am sure it cannot. We have an idea to handle the waste problem through mutual assistance with the government, employers and the communities. I have confidence if the waste is handled sustainably, the coastal environment will be comfortable and can dismiss the protest of travelers assessing the beach in Buleleng is dirty,” he said.

SEMARAPURA - The endeavors of Klungkung district to develop tourism and all the potentials of Nusa Penida are well received by central government. A total of 11 ministries will surely soon make a visit to Nusa Penida to develop the potential owned by the islands.

With this visit, central government is expected to disburse assistance to boost Nusa Penida.

Regent of Klungkung, I Nyoman Suwirta, conveyed that his government already received confirmation on the arrival of 11 ministries to Nusa Penida. Their presence has something to do with the potential owned by Nusa Penida such as the Ministry of Tourism and Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries.

“Eleven ministries will inspect the area of Nusa Penida,” he said.

Their presence in Klungkung district has replied the expectation that central government can encourage the development of Nusa Penida. Until now, Nusa Penida is still encountering a variety of problems such as the less optimal infrastructure in the field of marine tourism, supply of clean water and electricity. Nusa Penida is also a sub-district contributing to the largest poverty rate.

Regent Suwirta also requested the support of Nusa Penida community so that the presence of the ministries will be able to help resolve many problems in Nusa Penida. “I invite the entire community to unite the mind

Anticipation of bad weather disruption

Bali Strait crossing advised to alert

NEGARA - Bad weather frequently occurred lately should be wary of a number of parties. They include marine transportation services in the Strait of Bali regularly operating for 24 hours. To anticipate marine accidents, the harbor master of Gilimanuk urged ferry skippers to be aware of weather changes any time in the Strait of Bali.

Though getting weather forecasts every day, the weather in the Strait of Bali is indeed difficult to predict. Cumulonimbus

cloud (CB) frequently emerging all at once is hazardous for crossing activities. From monitoring for two weeks in November,

the weather in the Strait of Bali remains to support so that crossings run normally.

Executive Manager of the Gilimanuk Harbor, Ni Komang Yuliani, told reporters on Friday (Nov. 18) that despite the crossing remains to run normally, vigilance of skippers is still required. When bad weather occurs and harms, the crossing will

be closed. In addition to strong winds accompanied with high waves, they must also watch out for heavy rains that can happen any time.

When it rains, visibility at sea will get disturbed especially at night. Skippers are still asked to remain standby and turn on their radio for 24 hours. Any time when a problem occurs, the

harbor authority of Gilimanuk will coordinate with the ship.

According to Yuliani, the current wind speed in the Bali Strait lies in the average of 5 to 14 knots per hour or still normal. Currently, the harbor operates 45 passenger ships (KMP) in three mobile dock bridges (MB) I, II, III, pontoon and the landing craft machine (LCM) pier. (kmb26)

To grow reading interest

Lebanon’s Nabil Karam enters Guinness Book of World Records for third time

LEBANON - Former Lebanese professional race car driver Nabil Karam has made it on the 2017 Guinness Book of World Records for the third time for having the

largest number of model sports cars and dioramas.

You can see Nabil Karam’s largest collection of model cars inside his museum in Zouk Mos-

beh, north of Beirut, Lebanon.

Karam received on November 16, 2016, Guinness World Record certificates for the largest collection of model cars and the

largest collection of dioramas, in celebration of the Guinness World Records Day. At a ceremony in Beirut on Wednesday, Nabil Karam broke his own Guinness

World titles when he was awarded two new records for having the largest collection of miniature cars, with 37,777 models, as well as 577 dioramas. (IBP/rtr)

Buleleng declares school literacy movement SINGARAJA - Central government issued a policy to foster reading interest among schools through literacy movement. The policy set forth in the Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture No.23/2015 is followed up by schools in Buleleng by declaring School Literacy Movement.

The declaration followed by the principals in Buleleng was centered at the SMAN Bali Mandara high school in Kubutambahan, Friday (Nov. 18). The declaration was at-

tended by the Head of the Buleleng Education Agency, Gede Suyasa, and Chairman of the Indonesian Teachers Association (PGRI) of Buleleng, Nyoman Darta.

Gede Suyasa said that every school is expected to organize school literacy movement to increase the reading interest considered to decrease lately. Hopefully, this movement could be done in a systematic, massive and structured manner, so that reading is not just a habit but also a culture at schools

concerned. Suyasa pointed out that the movement can be initiated by requiring students to read books or articles at least 15 minutes before starting the learning activity. To support this movement, schools have to prepare a representative school library. “They should not necessary consist of textbooks, but our students can read fiction books, journals, newspaper clippings and articles,” he said.

On the other hand, Suyasa said that in line with this policy, every

school, especially elementary school, is expected to continuously increase their book collections to support school literacy movement. This can be realized by utilizing the school operating funds (BOS). Five percent of which shall be used to purchase books, so that the fund could support the literacy movement in the long term. “The library is physical aspect, but our target at the discretion of central government is meant to change the reading habit into the culture of students at school,” he said.

In the meantime, Chairman of the PGRI Buleleng, Nyoman Darta, said the school literacy movement was started at the SMAN Bali Mandara in 2012. The SMAN Bali Mandara does not only require the entire school community to read for 15 minutes, but also create a reading habit among students at least for 30 minutes. Besides, this habit has led to the willingness of students to prepare a research, scientific experiments or doing things for entrepreneurship. (kmb38)

Fishermen still lack attention as indicated by minimal govt. aid SEMARAPURA - The distirct of Klungkung is home to many fishermen and their canned fish has become quite popular in many regions. Unfortunately, the government of Klungkung has provided very little financial aid or facilities in support of these fishermen. The fate of these fishermen has however finally drawn the attention of a legislator of the Democratic Faction.

Democratic party legislator from the Klungkung House of Representatives, I Made Jana, expressed the opinion of his party’s faction

regarding the fate of Klungkung’s fishemen recently.. According to Jana, the potential of the fisheries particularly marine fisheries in Klungkung is huge. This is evident from the 12.5 tons of fish a day that are required by the market, compared to the 2 tons a day that are processed in Klungkung. Fishermen in Klungkung simply do not have the support they need in order to meet this demand.

Dspite the massive demand for marine products, many fishemrn in Klungkung have to look for other

work because they do not catch enough fish to make a living. As a result, the demand for fish at the Segara Beach fish auction (TPI) in Kusamba, is supplied by fishermen form other areas such as Karangasem. In addition, frozen fish from Benoa (Denpasar) also supplies the fish auction when fish boiling businesses in Klungkung do not catch enough fish. The Democratic Faction is therefor usrging the government of Klungkung to support their local fishermen so that they can compete with fishermen from

other areas.

According to Jana, the volume of fish caught by Klungkung fishermen can be improved by changing the patterns of traditional fishing, increasing the capacity of vessels and by providing training. “Infrastructure needs to be set up to promote this industry” said Jana.

The Tegal Besar Beach fishermne’s group has spoken up about the lack of attention from the government. The fishermen group’s leader, I Made Sudira, said that the lack of attention has meant that they

are “ in suspended animation”.

Head of the Klungkung Fisheries and Marine Resources (PPK) Agency, I Gusti Ngurah Badiwangsa, could not be reached for comment.

Meanwhile monitoring of the electronic procurement service (LPSE) of Klungkung for the projects allocated in the regional budget 2016 there is indication of funds for fishermen, apart from the procurement of a fish boiling building with a budget of IDR 1.25 billion. (dwa)

No regional bylaw, most convenience stores in Buleleng are illegal

SINGARAJA - Convenience store businesses have been popping up al lover Buleleng recently, but most of them are operationg without a permit becaseu the local government has yet to create a regional bylaw (Perda) on permits for modern chain stores.

According to data collected in the field last Wednesday (Nov. 16) several convenience stores are operating in nearly all of Buleleng’s nine districts. In fact Bueleleng has the largest number of 24 hours convenience stores.

What is more there seems to be no regulation at all as many of these convenience stores are located right next to traditional markets or small stalls run by peole with limited capital. A total of 34 stores have been noted as having permits but these only consiste of building permit (IMB) and trade business permit (SIUP) issued by the integrated licensing office (BPPT) of Buleleng. The owenrs of this stores are free to run their businesses free of obligations to the surrounding communities because there are as of yet no other regulations to which they must comply.

Head of the BPPT Buleleng, Putu Karuna, when met at his office on (Nov. 16) admitted thatalmost none of these stores have modern conveniece store permits and added that this have been a problem for a few years now as the issue has not been handled optimally. So far, the BPPT only required the store owners to have a building permit and trade business permit when they want to open their businesses.. The licensing service is in fact free of charge, however few owners are aware of the need to apply such permits. This is evident by the fact that in the last few years as many as 34 of these modern stores have opened with building permits and trade business permits, while the rest do not have these permits and are therefor considered illegal.

“So far, many modern stores do not have a special permit but do have building permits and trade business permist. We’d like to affirm here that no modern stores in Buleleng have a special permit for modern stores as in other regions” said Karuna.

According to this official from Banyuatis, Banjar subdistrict, the government is unable to control the existing modern stores in the region and the issue has been largely ignored because until now the local government does not have a regional bylaw setting forth the parameters of operation for such modern stores. Currently the only regulation reffered to is regional bylaw No.10/2013 regarding the Regulation, Control and Protection of Traditional Markets, Modern Markets and Supermarkets. Pursuant to this regulation, the government sets forth the location of modern market at 500 meters from traditional markets.

This spacing regulation reflects the government’s commitment to protect the continuity of traditional markets so that they remain to survive amid the competition against the modern markets.

“We do not have any special regional bylaw regarding permits for modern convenience stores like that of other regions. Currently we just refer to the existing regulations.

We only issue a permit, but the matter of tax payments or levies for modern stores is the domain of the revenue services (Dispenda)”, he explained.

Karuna did say that in order to issue reprimands and to obtain accurate data about modern convenience stores in the regions, the BPPT will team up with the municipal police in order to conduct inspections of the licensing documents of modern stores in the near future. At least, he said, this endeavor will yields data regarding the number of convenience stores operating in the region as well as the validity and expiratino of permits. “We have already coordinated with the municipal police and will be chcking on the permits of modern convenience stores to ascertain how many have expired permits or do not have any permits at all”, said Karuna.

At least 90 killed as India train derails, more than 150 injured

Lingkara Photo Community has been playing with ideas about the power of photography and will be presenting the results of their preliminary studies in an exhibition entitled “Power Playing”.

“Power Playing” by Lingkara Photo Community

SUPPOSING I were to take a photo of a public mural or of a picture from a magazine or of a dancer’s performance, and then presented this photo as a factual representation or even as my own art work? Would you read my photograph any differently than the original image?

What if I put a printed copy of my photo on a table, and then placed objects on top of it and photographed it again? Would the new image take on a different meaning still? And if I then printed this new image onto dozens of 8x11 sheets of paper and plastered them onto the wall of a gallery, would this image tell a whole other story? and if I then photographed this giant image in the gallery setting and printed this photo into a catalogue, how would you interpret this final image?

And then suppose that I was enjoying the process so much that I then photographed the photograph of the photograph from the gallery wall that was printed in the catalogue, printed out this image and then plastered it onto the wall next to the mural I had originally photographed? At what point would you start to question the meaning that an image can have depending on its context and the point of view of the photographer, or question the difference between a sign and a symbol?

Lingkara Photo Community has been playing with ideas about the power of photography and will be presenting the results of their preliminary studies in an exhibition entitled “Power Playing”, which Yan Lingkara describes as “photography as an intervention into reality”. The six artists that have been intervening into reality using photography in the manner mentioned above are: Rudi Wesnawa, Isamail Ilmi, Sr Awy, Ida Adi, Candra Mapu Gimblond, Christiana Arum.

Each of these photographers have taken their own distinct approach -as it

could be argued that all photographers always are.

“Power Playing”, features the outcome of these 6 photographers’ exploration into how photography interacts with our perception of reality, how context and point of view inform meaning but also brings to light the blurry lines that distinguish different art forms from one and other.

Photography is often seen less as an art form and more as a straight documentation of reality. However as curator Arif Bagus Prasetyo put it: “photography is not always reliable for accessing the “truth” about reality, because photography only shows ‘how the photographer sees’…photography communicates through objective and subjective factors and thus has never been a purely transparent medium”.

Through this monumental yet fragmented format, Power Playing invites us to take notice of the interpretive space that stands between the object being presented and the photographer who presents it.

Lingkara Photo Community is a

loose association of photography lovers dedicated to exploring all sorts of blurry lines. Experimentation with different media for photographs (printing onto wood, glass etc), different thematic concepts surrounding photography , and different subjects for photographs, Lingkara also holds smaller monthly exhibitions to share the results of these explorations.

“Lingkara Photcoffee’ is the name given to their weekly focussed group discussions in which lines between photography and any number of apparently unrelated subjects are also blurred, often yielding informative results for all concerned.

Although Linkgara Community is a non-profit organization dedicated to exploring and expanding all things photographic, they also have a business division known as “Lingkara Store’, designed to generate income for further photographic experimentation. Lingkara Store is a physical place where a number of locally produced eco-friendly products are sold and is also a conceptual ‘store’ that organizes and produces merchandise for all sorts of commercial and private events.

Power Playing, curated by Arif Bagus Prasetyo, will officially open on December 20th at 7:30pm with a unique performance of Dangdut songs, opening words by knowledgeable people, high quality locally sourced coffee, bbq corn, boiled peanuts and unforeseen interactions.

Police officials said about 20 people were still missing as authorities were trying to ascertain what caused 14 carriages of the train travelling between the northeastern city of Patna and the central city of Indore - to suddenly roll off the tracks in Pukhrayan, 65 kilometres south of Kanpur city.

Amid scenes of desperation and anguish, survivors were looking for family members and some were also trying to enter the damaged carriages to rescue relatives and collect belongings, said senior railway official Pratap Rai. “We are using every tactic to save lives but it’s very difficult to cut the metal carriages,” Rai said from the accident site.

With the death toll set to rise further, the derailment could become India’s worst rail tragedy since 2005, when a train was crushed by

a rock and another plunged into a river - each killing more than 100 people.

India’s creaking railway system is the world’s fourth largest, ferrying more than 20 million people each day, but it has a poor safety record, with thousands of people dying in accidents every year, including in frequent train derailments.

Suresh Prabhu, India’s Railways Minister, said in a tweet the government would immediately investigate the causes of the derailment and promised accountability with the “strictest possible action,” and compensation for the affected passengers.

Authorities were checking if the air brakes that would have prevented the disaster had failed, but added they would need to look further before concluding the cause of the accident. (rtr)

BERLIN - Angela Merkel is set to announce on Sunday she will seek a fourth term as German chancellor in next year’s election, ending months of speculation over whether one of the world’s most powerful women wants to run again after 11 years in office.

The 62-year-old conservative is widely seen as a stabilising force in Europe at a time of uncertainty after Britain’s vote to leave the European Union and the election of Donald Trump as the next U.S. president.

On Sunday afternoon, she meets other leaders of her Christian Democrats (CDU) in Berlin to prepare for a party conference in December, the last before the election. She has called a news conference for 1800 GMT, a sign interpreted by politicians and the media that she has made up her mind.

the financial crisis and the euro zone debt crisis and has won respect internationally U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday described her as an “outstanding” ally.

However, her decision last year to open Germany’s borders to around 900,000 migrants, mostly from war zones in the Middle East, angered many voters and hit her personal ratings.

Her party has slumped in regional elections in the last year while support for the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) has swelled.

In September, after a heavy defeat for the CDU in a Berlin state election, a humbled Merkel surprised the country by saying she wished she could turn the clock back on the migrant crisis, though she stopped short of saying her policy was a mistake.

Inscrutable Merkel, who grew up in Communist East Germany, is something of a loner. A physicist who only became involved in politics after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, she is seen as a talented negotiator but has also shown a ruthless streak.

A Protestant woman in a mainly Catholic and male-dominated party, at least when

she became its leader in 2000, Merkel never built up a regional power base but over the years she has rid herself of her main male rivals and has no obvious successor.

She still requires the backing of her Christian Social Union (CSU) allies in Bavaria, who have fiercely criticised her open-door migrant policy but, with no obvious candidate of their own, are widely expected to fall in behind her.

Polls put her conservative bloc around 10 points ahead of its nearest rivals, the Social Democrats (SPD), with whom she shares power. Many pollsters see another ‘grand coalition’ as the most likely option after the September election, although the rise of the AfD makes coalition arithmetic more complicated.

By standing again, Merkel could end up matching the 16 years in office of her former mentor, Helmut Kohl. It was Merkel herself who broke with Kohl and told her party in 1999, in the midst of a funding scandal, that it should move on without him.

It is unclear whether, if she wins a fourth term, she would serve a full four years. (rtr)

BUSINESS China pledges further opening as leaders scramble for free trade

LIMA - Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged to open the economy further on Saturday as leaders of Asia-Pacific countries sought new freetrade options following Donald Trump’s election to U.S. president on promises to scrap or renegotiate trade deals.

All eyes were on China at this year’s APEC summit in Lima, Peru just over a week after Trump’s surprise victory in the United States dashed hopes of the largestever U.S.-proposed trade deal, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), coming to fruition.

U.S. President Barack Obama has championed the TPP as a way to counter China’s rise, but he has now stopped trying to win congressional approval for the deal signed by 12 economies in the Americas and Asia-Pacific, excluding China. Without U.S. approval the current agreement cannot be implemented.

Trump campaigned against the TPP and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) as bad for U.S. jobs. He said he would scrap the TPP and threatened to impose tariffs on imports from China and Mexico. Following a meeting with Obama, Xi said Beijing’s relationship with Washington was at a “hinge moment” and called for a smooth transition.

Xi has been selling an alternate vision for regional trade by promoting the Beijing-backed Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which as it stands excludes the Americas. “China will not shut its door to the outside world but open more,” Xi said in a keynote address at APEC. “We’re going to...make sure the fruits of development are shared.”

Chinese attendance at the APEC meeting was its largest ever and regional delegates said China would take the lead on trade if the U.S. turned toward protectionism. The Obama administration has warned that the RCEP would not include strong protections for workers, the environment or intellectual property.

In Lima on his last scheduled trip abroad as president, Obama said the United States worked to include labor provisions in a U.S.-

The sun sets above residential buildings on a hazy day in Beijing, September 20, 2014.

Peru free trade agreement to lift wages and standards for Peruvian workers.

“That’s the kind of attitude that we want to try to promote in ... the years going forward, and my hope is that that policy will continue.”

TPP leaders held a meeting at APEC, where Obama urged them to work together to advance TPP, the White House said.

The leaders had confirmed the economic and strategic importance of the agreement, Japanese Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Kotaro Nogami told reporters after the meeting.

CHINA FILLS THE VOID? With the fate of the TPP uncertain, China’s talks on RCEP, which include Australia, India and more than a dozen other countries, are seen as perhaps the only path to the broader Free Trade Area of the

Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) that APEC aspires to.

“It’s a more traditional trade deal, reducing tariffs on goods and services. It’s not as far reaching as the TPP,” Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told reporters of RCEP. But “the more access we can get to more markets for our exports, the better.”

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said the United States was an important partner in the region, but China would fill the void if a Trump administration backs away from free trade. Key said TPP members might be able to incorporate “cosmetic changes” to make the deal more palatable to the real estate magnate and former reality TV star.

“The Trump Pacific Partnership for instance, that’d be fine,” Key said, laughing. Despite China’s overtures, some APEC members

were determined to press on with TPP and held out hopes the United States would still show leadership on trade.

“Our geopolitical position is with the United States, obviously,” Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said. “That’s where our eyes are set and that’s what we are working for.”

Pena Nieto said the NAFTA pact between the United States, Mexico and Canada should be “modernized,” noting that issues relating to labor rules and the environment were among those that could be included in such talks - two areas Mexico had believed it could update with the United States via TPP. Trump has vowed to scrap NAFTA if he cannot renegotiate it.

Tidal power developers bet on sea change in Indonesia renewables sector

JAKARTA - A well-connected Indonesian marine renewable energy company and OpenHydro, a unit of French state-owned naval defence company DCNS, aim to be the first to plug into the vast untapped tidal energy potential of the world’s biggest archipelago.

Renewables have so far played little part in Indonesia’s power sector, despite the country sitting on the world’s biggest geothermal reserves and being bathed in sunshine, crowded out by an abundance of cheap coal and bureaucratic bottlenecks. But declining costs of renewable electricity and a new push by President Joko Widodo to develop renewables in the remote eastern parts of the archipelago are changing the picture.

With narrow straits straddling the Indian and Pacific oceans, Indonesia has significant tidal power potential, and PT Arus Indonesia Raya (AIR) and OpenHydro plan to build the country’s first such project. “This project is important for Indonesia and the world so we can stop burning coal,” AIR president director Panji Adhikumoro Soeharto told Reuters.

OpenHydro, a company specialising in the design and manufacture of marine turbines to generate renewable energy from tidal streams, already has projects in Japan, Britain, France and Canada. The AIR and OpenHydro model would appeal to renewable energy investors because it is relatively inexpensive and low in maintenance compared with other renewables, said Soeharto, grandchild of former Indonesian president Suharto.

“We’re doing the investment ourselves, with banks,” he said.

He did not say how much had been invested so far. According to the partners, Indonesia has the potential for up to 60 gigawatts of tidal power, more than Indonesia’s total electricity capacity of just over 50 gigawatts last year.

Land and permitting issues that often hold up power infrastructure

projects should be no obstacle for AIR, Soeharto said, referring to plans to build a factory in Indonesia and utilise 70 percent local content in their turbines. The turbines, which sit on the seabed, can cost up to $7 million each in Europe, a cost PT AIR plans to slash to as little as $4 million, Soeharto said.

“The only thing we can’t produce is the magnets - French technology.

Maybe in future we’ll study this.”

Over the next three years, the two companies plan to develop up to 20 2-megawatt turbines in a pilot tidal array in the Bali strait, which will supply power directly to state energy company Pertamina, Soeharto said. According to a release on the DCNS website, the Indonesian project is targeted to reach 300MW of installed capacity by 2023.

TURNING TIDE? Indonesia wants renewable energy to make up around a quarter of its total by 2025 from around 5 percent now, though critics have questioned its seriousness in meeting its climate goals, and its overall

plans to ramp up power production have got off to a slow start.

Yet attitudes toward renewable energy among Asian investors are changing as costs come down and environmental pressures mount, a Singapore-based hedge fund manager told Reuters.

Over the past two years the cost of producing solar and onshore wind power had begun to reach a level where it was competitive with fossil fuels, below 10 cents per kilowatt hour, he said. “It is beginning to happen.”

India and China, Indonesia’s two biggest coal buyers, are accelerating the global transformation from coal to cleaner energy sources.

Some of Indonesia’s biggest coal miners, such as state-owned Bukit Asam and Adaro, are also diversifying into renewables.

“Renewable energy is a must.

It’s no longer an option. We don’t have any choice,” recently appointed deputy energy minister Arcandra Tahar said at a forum in Jakarta last week.

While incentives will be needed

to kickstart renewable developments in Indonesia, on a per-kilowatt-hour basis they may already be cheaper than the diesel that many remote islands currently rely on for power, Tahar said.

By assisting state electricity company Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) to develop renewable energy, Indonesia could phase out diesel use and reduce its costly fuel subsidy bill, Tahar said, adding that his office was making this a priority over the next three years.

“Our focus now is on providing incentives and regulating prices that are acceptible to all sides,” Dadan Kusdiana, secretary at the Renewable Energy Directorate, told Reuters.

A spokesman for PLN said it was “wide open” to developing hybrid power systems in remote areas, combining renewables with traditional generators to guarantee electricity is available 24 hours a day. “We have to be oriented so that we reduce the cost of electricity,” PLN spokesman Made Suprateka told Reuters.(rtr)

Pena Nieto and Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Mexico’s government said in a statement the pair stated their countries should keep working together “to promote North America as a competitive and prosperous region.” The two also pledged their nations’ commitment to the “free market”, the statement added, without referring to NAFTA or TPP. Mexico, Japan, Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand and Singapore aim to continue with TPP with or without the United States, Mexico’s economy minister, Ildefonso Guajardo, said on Friday.

Several APEC members said it was too soon to write off support from Trump on TPP. “Barack Obama was not a supporter of the TPP when he became elected and he’s leaving office as one of its greatest advocates,” Australia’s Turnbull said.(rtr)

Lee Young-ryeol, chief prosecutor of Seoul Central Prosecutors’ Office, speaks during a news conference in Seoul, South Korea, November 20, 2016.

S.Korea prosecutors say President Park was accomplice in corruption scandal

SEOUL - South Korean prosecutors said on Sunday that they believed President Park Geun-hye was an accomplice in a corruption scandal that has rocked her administration, in a heavy blow to her fight for political survival.

The prosecutors’ comments, which came as they indicted a close friend of Park’s and two of her former aides, are likely to spur stronger calls for her to step down or be impeached.

Park’s close friend Choi Soonsil and former presidential aide An Chong-bum were charged with abuse of power by pressuring companies to contribute funds to foundations at the centre of the scandal, said Lee Young-ryeol, head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office.

“The special investigation team concluded that based on the evidence secured to date, the president was in complicity with Choi Soon-sil, An Chong-bum and Jeong Ho-seong to a considerable degree,” Lee told a news conference.

Jeong, also one of Park’s former aides, was indicted for leaking classified information to Choi.

Park’s lawyer Yoo Yeong-ha rejected the asssertion that she was involved, calling it an “imagina-

tion” and saying prosecutors “have built a house of fantasy.”

Presidential Blue House spokesman Jung Youn-kuk said the prosecutors’ announcement was “deeply regrettable.”

“The special investigation team made a claim as if the president has committed a grave crime when it announced the result of its investigation,” Jung said.

“The announcement is not truth at all and but a house of cards built on repeated imagination and speculation that completely ignores objective evidence.”

Park cannot be indicted because she has constitutional immunity, prosecutor Lee said, but added: “We will continue to investigate the president,” without elaborating.

Under the constitution, a sitting president cannot be indicted unless on charges of treason, but the conclusion by the prosecutors that Park was involved in the case prompted fresh calls from opposition parties for her to step down.

The main opposition Democratic Party and the centrist People’s Party said Park will face impeachment proceedings if she refuses to resign. But they stopped short of saying they would immediately initiate such a move.

Analysts said the prosecutors’ comments about Park’s role increased the prospect that she would face impeachment.

“It provided a legal basis for impeachment proceedings, not only her moral and political liabilities,” said Kim Jun-seok, a political science professor at Dongguk University in Seoul.

Park is unlikely to voluntarily step down because she would lose immunity against prosecution, Kim said. Her five-year term ends in February 2018.

“Then, the only option that is left for politicians given the worsening public sentiment is impeachment,” he said.

Park has resisted calls to resign over the scandal but has publicly apologised twice, saying that it was caused by her shortcomings and that she had sought help from the business community in the belief it would benefit the economy, not for personal gain. (rtr)

Laurent Meillan, acting regional representative of the United Nations Human Rights Office in South-East Asia, said the use of Sosma was very concerning.

“Security legislation should not be used against peaceful demonstrators. We call for the immediate and unconditional release of Maria Chin Abdullah and other activists,” Meillan said. Another Bersih leader, Hishamuddin Rais, and artist Fahmi Reza were also arrested.

“We are not here to bring down the country. We love this country! We are not here to tear down the government, we’re here to strengthen it,” Bersih deputy chair Shahrul Aman Shaari told the crowds gathered at the National Mosque. Najib has taken steps which critics say aim to limit discussion of the scandal, such as sacking a deputy prime minister, replacing the attorneygeneral, suspending newspapers and blocking websites. Najib retains significant support within UMNO and from the long-ruling Barisan Nasional coalition.

‘ARREST US ALL’

Turnout was lower than a similar rally last year, with police saying that about 15,500 Bersih supporters took part, while news portal Malaysiakini estimated around 40,000. As many as 200,000 people showed up last year at one point. Police had said the rally is illegal and that they would not hesitate to use tear gas or water cannon if things got out of hand. State news agency Bernama said about 7,000 policemen would be on duty near the protest areas.

Still, spirits were high among

those that gathered, with drums heard along with speeches, songs and chants by participants calling for a clean Malaysia and people power. Former Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohamad, Najib’s fiercest critic, joined protesters in front of the Twin Towers.

“Let him come and arrest us all. We will stand up for our leaders including Maria Chin who has been arrested for the wrong reasons,” said 91-year-old Mahathir.

Muhyiddin Yassin - the former deputy premier who was sacked and now leads a new party chaired by Mahathir - was also present, leading the crowds in chants of “Step down Najib!”

“Our country is being governed by clowns and crooks. So I’m here to protest against our prime minister,” said the artist Reza before being arrested.

Azalina Othman Said, a minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, on Saturday said it was unlawful for any party to try to unseat an elected government via street protests.

Fears of clashes between Bersih and a pro-Najib group called Red Shirts mounted earlier this week after the latter threatened to target Bersih supporters, though no major clashes were reported on Saturday. The pro-Najib group also rallied on Saturday and police estimated that about 2,500 supporters of Najib turned up.

Jamal Yunos, an UMNO member and leader of the Red Shirts, was arrested on Friday.

He had warned of a repeat of racial riots in 1969 that killed hundreds in clashes between Malays and ethnic Chinese. Ethnic Chinese and Indian minorities formed the bulk of the Bersih rally, similar to last year.(ap)

Mexican Suarez makes history with NASCAR title

NORTH CAROLINA - Mexico’s Daniel Suarez became NASCAR’s first foreign-born champion on Saturday by winning the season-long Xfinity Series.

The 24-year-old won the final race of the season at the Homestead-Miami Speedway in south Florida to clinch the overall title.

“I’m just very proud of everyone and thankful to have the family that I have,” Suarez said after clinching the title in front of his parents.

“My mom, my dad, they gave me all the tools to be here right now. They put me in a car even when we didn’t have the support or the racing background. They supported me and right now we are just living a dream.

“It’s still hard to believe this.”

Suarez was born in Monterrey and started racing carts before moving to North Carolina as a teenager to pursue his career.

The Xfinity Series is a secondary competition on the stock car circuit below the main NASCAR Sprint Cup series. (rtr)

Bagus Agro Pelaga BADUNG - In support of the regional government’s plan to develop the northern part of Badung Regency as an agribusiness and agro tourism area, Bagus Agro Pelaga has built a new tourist attraction where visitors may enjoy outstanding vistas of fruit, flower and vegetable farming while having fun. This modern agro tourism spot is spread out over 18 hectares of land, where more than 17 hectares is used for free chemical farming. To minimize water use, Bagus Agro Pelaga utilizes a drip irrigation system, which is quite different than the Balinese Subak system that relies on intensive water use.

The drip irrigation system enables precise water delivery and can adjust water for particular plants, thereby increasing water efficiency. Lies over a lush tranquil forest, in the mountain range of Pucak Mangu situated on 750 meters above sea level, the new tourist attraction in Bali built in Agricultural concept based on the Tri Hita Karana, the original Balinese Culture.

The 23-year-old American’s win at The Australian Golf Club two years ago on the back of a final round 63 was the springboard to a stellar 2015 in which he won five tournaments, including his first two majors.

At Royal Sydney on Sunday he prevailed after a gutsy threeunder 69 and a three-way playoff with Australians Ashley Hall and Cameron Smith, which he won with a 12-foot birdie putt.

Spieth was particularly pleased that he managed to get his swing right under pressure, especially after leading by five shots going into the back nine on the last day of this year’s U.S. Masters before blowing up and relinquishing his title.

“You can’t practice for being

very nervous,” he told reporters.

“You can’t get on the range and say okay, get nervous. It doesn’t work that way. It just comes through experience.

“It’s easier when you’re five or six up coming into the last few holes, you can trust anything, there’s no nerves, you’ve already closed it out.

“But it’s moments like today where you can really take it going forward.”

After his brilliant 2015, two wins on the U.S. PGA tour this year was considered a modest dividend for the former world number one.

While he was certainly not going to start predicting major successes for next season, he did

feel he would be able to draw on Sunday’s experience.

“I think a lot can be drawn back on 2014 into 15. The way we played the playoff, I think it’s going to do wonders for me,” he added.

“I’ve been in a little bit of a stall hitting the shots when they mattered.

“To hit those two shots in there right where I wanted to hit them and then to make the putt with it, is something I can draw on all next year.”

After two victories and a second place in his three trips Down Under, Spieth suggested he would be back at The Australian Golf Club to defend his title next year.

“Certainly plan on it, it’s hard to tell a year from now,” he said. “But how can you argue with coming here and gaining the confidence that we’ve had out of this event?” (rtr)

Kean, 16, makes Juve debut in easy win over Pescara

Scoreboard at full time

Real race clear as Ronaldo treble sinks Atletico

BARCELONA - Cristiano Ronaldo ensured Atletico Madrid fans will have bitter memories of the last local derby at the Vicente Calderon stadium by scoring a hat-trick in a 3-0 win for La Liga leaders Real Madrid on Saturday.

Ronaldo’s deflected free kick put Real in charge in the 23rd minute in the first meeting of the teams since the Champions League final in May. The prolific Portuguese killed off Atletico’s resistance by winning and converting a penalty in the 71st minute and capped a harrowing night for the home side by tapping in the third in the 77th.

It was Real’s first league win over their city rivals since 2013 while Ronaldo’s treble took him to the top of the league’s scoring list on eight goals along with Barcelona pair Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

Real are top of the table with 30 points from 12 matches, four above Barcelona after the champions were held to a goalless draw at home to Malaga who finished the game with nine men.

Atletico are nine points adrift of Real in fifth while Sevilla are third on 24 after beating Deportivo La Coruna 3-2.

The Madrid derby took on extra significance for being the last league

meeting of the sides at the Vicente Calderon with Atletico due to move from the 50-year-old ground to a new 67,000 capacity arena next year.

“It’s a very important victory for us at a difficult ground. We played very well from the start and there’s not many teams that can do that at this ground,” said Real coach Zinedine Zidane.

“I’m delighted with Cristiano’s goals and (midfielder) Isco was incredible, he didn’t give the ball away once.” Real were without midfield duo Casemiro and Toni Kroos and Zidane decided to rest Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema, who had only just recovered from injury.

After a frantic end-to-end start, the visitors took control and came close to taking the lead when Ronaldo headed towards goal and Jan Oblak dived low to hook the ball off the line.

Real’s all-time top scorer told the referee’s assistant the ball had gone over the line but he did not have to wait much longer to celebrate a legitimate goal.

SAVIC DEFLECTION

He whipped a free kick at the wall and saw it deflected off Stefan Savic’s hip beyond Oblak. Just like the Champions League final, Atletico made a better start to the second half and set about trying to get a foothold in the game.

Antoine Griezmann burst into the box from the left but could only fire the ball out for a throw from a tight angle while Yannick Carrasco came close with a long-range strike.

Atletico coach Diego Simeone threw caution to the wind by bringing on forwards Kevin Gameiro and Angel Correa for Fernando Torres and Gabi but Ronaldo took advantage of the extra space at the back, racing behind Savic and tumbling over the defender’s stray leg.

Ronaldo sealed Real’s 11th European Cup triumph with a penalty against Oblak and made no mistake from the spot here, sending the Slovenian the wrong way.

He then stuck the knife into Atletico by turning in Gareth Bale’s low cross to complete his treble. Atletico midfielder Koke felt the scoreline was harsh on his side.

“It’s been a difficult night. We leave here very sad, I don’t think we deserved to lose 3-0,” he said. (rtr)

MILAN - Moise Kean became the first player born after the start of the year 2000 to play in Serie A when he featured in the last few minutes of an otherwise routine 3-0 win for leaders Juventus over lowly Pescara on Saturday. Lorenzo Insigne scored his first Napoli goals for seven months to give last season’s runners-up a 2-1 win at Udinese, while Chievo beat Cagliari 1-0 in the day’s other game.

Kean, born in February 2000, entered as a substitute in the 84th minute after goals from Sami Khedira, Mario Mandzukic and Hernanes had already set up Juve’s 23rd consecutive home win in Serie A. Kean has already attracted attention with his performances and a prolific scoring record in Juve’s under-17 team.

Juventus had an early scare when Gianluca Capri got clear of their defence, only to shoot wide from six metres. Pescara, two places off the bottom, held out until Khedira played a one-two with Mandzukic and guided his shot past Albano Bizzarri in the 36th minute.

Mandzukic extended Juve’s lead when he turned in Khedira’s header from close range just after the hour and Hernanes completed the win with a long-range shot in the 69th minute. Juventus, chasing a sixth successive title, have 33 points, seven clear of AS Roma who visit Atalanta on Sunday (1400 GMT).

After a scrappy first period devoid of clear chances at Udinese, forward Insigne brought the game to life when he swept Jose Callejon’s low cross into the roof of the net from six metres just after the restart.

Having waited for a goal since April 10, Insigne needed only 10 more minutes to score another when he nicked the ball off a dallying Silven Widmer and fired past Orestis Karnezis.

Stipe Perica, who spent three years as a Chelsea player on loan to other clubs before he was signed in June, headed in from a corner two minutes later to put 14th-placed Udinese back in the game but Napoli held on to end a three-match winless run in all competitions.

Napoli, fourth in Serie A with 24 points, made a bright start to the season but have struggled since striker Arkadiusz Milik, signed to fill the gap left by Gonzalo Higuain’s departure to Juventus, suffered a knee injury. Saturday’s win was their third in nine outings since Milik was sidelined.

Chievo full back Massimo Gobbi ended an even longer goal drought when he scored against Cagliari.

Gobbi collected the ball near the halfway line, played a one-two with Lucas Castro and then guided the ball past Marco Storari for his first league goal since September 2013. (rtr)

pected thigh injury. Jese wrapped up the win with a late penalty.

Di Maria’s Argentine compatriot Javier Pastore, who came on as a late substitute for his first appearance since suffering a calf injury in September, sustained a knee problem in stoppage time.

PSG are already without influential midfielder Adrien Rabiot for the Arsenal game after the France international was injured with the national team earlier this week.

Di Maria slotted home after being set up by forward JeanKevin Augustin who started up front as coach Unai Emery rested Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani.

Keeper Kevin Trapp, standing in

for the injured Alphonse Areola, then denied Guillaume Gillet from point-blank range as Nantes threatened.

Di Maria limped off 10 minutes before the interval and was replaced by Hatem Ben Arfa. “We took him off as a precaution, I hope he will be fine for Wednesday,” said Emery. Nine minutes into the second half Blaise Matuidi fired a fierce shot against the post.

Second-half substitute Jese then converted a penalty in the last minute before Pastore was hurt in the closing stages. “I hope it is a minor injury. We will know more when he has seen the doctor,” said Emery. (rtr)

It’s Harrys’ game as comeback kings Spurs show their mettle

LONDON - First there was Harry Winks, then Harry Kane, as Tottenham Hotspur sprang a 3-2 comeback win over West Ham United that would have done justice to Harry Houdini.

Kane reasserted his status as London’s derby king with 17th and 18th goals against sides from the capital in an astonishing 160 seconds on Saturday that stunned the Hammers and saw Spurs make up ground on leaders Liverpool, who they now trail by just three points.

“What a win. It looked like it would be a disappointing afternoon,” Kane told the media. “I thought we had played well and we left it late. What a night, what a performance.

“We wanted to win and give the fans something to cheer about, and a lot of them will go home happy.”

Manager Mauricio Pochettino was predictably delighted with the storming finish, which reinforced how much Spurs missed the striker, who returned to the first team against Arsenal on November 6 after two-and-a-half months out with ankle ligament damage.

Kane had scored from the penalty spot at the Emirates, and was again spot-on against West Ham to spark mass celebrations at White Hart Lane and remind Pochettino, as if he needed reminding, of what has been missing.

“Harry Kane is always very important, he is our main striker and one of the best strikers in the world. You miss that type of player when he does not play for 10 or 11 games. The table looks much better. We are three points off the top and 12 unbeaten from the beginning.”

It was certainly Harrys’ game, twice over, with Winks capping a dream week with his first Premier League goal on his first start, five days after making his England under-21 debut in the 3-2 defeat to France.

“For me, after I scored it was just a bit of a blur, but it was brilliant. I realised yesterday I was in the team so I had to get myself ready,” said Winks, who made the most

of the faith shown in him by Pochettino.

The challenge now for Spurs is to turn their form in the Premier League, where they remain the only unbeaten side, into the Champions League, which resumes on Tuesday with a testing trip to Monaco, which both Kane and Pochettino described as a “must-win game”.

Spurs are third in their group, four points behind the French team and two off Bayer Leverkusen. (rtr)

Real race clear as Ronaldo treble sinks Atletico

BARCELONA - Cristiano Ronaldo ensured Atletico Madrid fans will have bitter memories of the last local derby at the Vicente Calderon stadium by scoring a hat-trick in a 3-0 win for La Liga leaders Real Madrid on Saturday.

Ronaldo’s deflected free kick put Real in charge in the 23rd minute in the first meeting of the teams since the Champions League final in May. The prolific Portuguese killed off Atletico’s resistance by winning and converting a penalty in the 71st minute and capped a harrowing night for the home side by tapping in the third in the 77th.

It was Real’s first league win over their city rivals since 2013 while Ronaldo’s treble took him to the top of the league’s scoring list on eight goals along with Barcelona pair Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

Real are top of the table with 30 points from 12 matches, four above Barcelona after the champions were held to a goalless draw at home to Malaga who finished the game with nine men.

Atletico are nine points adrift of Real in fifth while Sevilla are third on 24 after beating Deportivo La Coruna 3-2.

The Madrid derby took on extra significance for being the last league

meeting of the sides at the Vicente Calderon with Atletico due to move from the 50-year-old ground to a new 67,000 capacity arena next year.

“It’s a very important victory for us at a difficult ground. We played very well from the start and there’s not many teams that can do that at this ground,” said Real coach Zinedine Zidane.

“I’m delighted with Cristiano’s goals and (midfielder) Isco was incredible, he didn’t give the ball away once.” Real were without midfield duo Casemiro and Toni Kroos and Zidane decided to rest Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema, who had only just recovered from injury.

After a frantic end-to-end start, the visitors took control and came close to taking the lead when Ronaldo headed towards goal and Jan Oblak dived low to hook the ball off the line.

Real’s all-time top scorer told the referee’s assistant the ball had gone over the line but he did not have to wait much longer to celebrate a legitimate goal.

SAVIC DEFLECTION

He whipped a free kick at the wall and saw it deflected off Stefan Savic’s hip beyond Oblak. Just like the Champions League final, Atletico made a better start to the second half and set about trying to get a foothold in the game.

Antoine Griezmann burst into the box from the left but could only fire the ball out for a throw from a tight angle while Yannick Carrasco came close with a long-range strike.

Atletico coach Diego Simeone threw caution to the wind by bringing on forwards Kevin Gameiro and Angel Correa for Fernando Torres and Gabi but Ronaldo took advantage of the extra space at the back, racing behind Savic and tumbling over the defender’s stray leg.

Ronaldo sealed Real’s 11th European Cup triumph with a penalty against Oblak and made no mistake from the spot here, sending the Slovenian the wrong way.

He then stuck the knife into Atletico by turning in Gareth Bale’s low cross to complete his treble. Atletico midfielder Koke felt the scoreline was harsh on his side.

“It’s been a difficult night. We leave here very sad, I don’t think we deserved to lose 3-0,” he said. (rtr)

MILAN - Moise Kean became the first player born after the start of the year 2000 to play in Serie A when he featured in the last few minutes of an otherwise routine 3-0 win for leaders Juventus over lowly Pescara on Saturday. Lorenzo Insigne scored his first Napoli goals for seven months to give last season’s runners-up a 2-1 win at Udinese, while Chievo beat Cagliari 1-0 in the day’s other game.

Kean, born in February 2000, entered as a substitute in the 84th minute after goals from Sami Khedira, Mario Mandzukic and Hernanes had already set up Juve’s 23rd consecutive home win in Serie A. Kean has already attracted attention with his performances and a prolific scoring record in Juve’s under-17 team.

Juventus had an early scare when Gianluca Capri got clear of their defence, only to shoot wide from six metres. Pescara, two places off the bottom, held out until Khedira played a one-two with Mandzukic and guided his shot past Albano Bizzarri in the 36th minute.

Mandzukic extended Juve’s lead when he turned in Khedira’s header from close range just after the hour and Hernanes completed the win with a long-range shot in the 69th minute. Juventus, chasing a sixth successive title, have 33 points, seven clear of AS Roma who visit Atalanta on Sunday (1400 GMT).

After a scrappy first period devoid of clear chances at Udinese, forward Insigne brought the game to life when he swept Jose Callejon’s low cross into the roof of the net from six metres just after the restart.

Having waited for a goal since April 10, Insigne needed only 10 more minutes to score another when he nicked the ball off a dallying Silven Widmer and fired past Orestis Karnezis.

Stipe Perica, who spent three years as a Chelsea player on loan to other clubs before he was signed in June, headed in from a corner two minutes later to put 14th-placed Udinese back in the game but Napoli held on to end a three-match winless run in all competitions.

Napoli, fourth in Serie A with 24 points, made a bright start to the season but have struggled since striker Arkadiusz Milik, signed to fill the gap left by Gonzalo Higuain’s departure to Juventus, suffered a knee injury. Saturday’s win was their third in nine outings since Milik was sidelined.

Chievo full back Massimo Gobbi ended an even longer goal drought when he scored against Cagliari.

Gobbi collected the ball near the halfway line, played a one-two with Lucas Castro and then guided the ball past Marco Storari for his first league goal since September 2013. (rtr)

Injury-hit PSG warm up for Arsenal with win PARIS - Paris St Germain suffered a double injury scare when they warmed up for their Champions League clash at Arsenal with a 2-0 home win against Nantes in Ligue 1 on Saturday. PSG, who play at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday with top spot in Group A at stake, are second in Ligue 1 with 29 points from 13 games, behind leaders Monaco on goal difference.

Third-placed Nice, who also have 29 points, will reclaim the lead if they avoid defeat at St Etienne on Sunday. Angel Di Maria netted the first goal, his first in Ligue 1 this season, in the opening half before limping off with a sus-

Mexican Suarez makes history with NASCAR title

NORTH CAROLINA - Mexico’s Daniel Suarez became NASCAR’s first foreign-born champion on Saturday by winning the season-long Xfinity Series.

The 24-year-old won the final race of the season at the Homestead-Miami Speedway in south Florida to clinch the overall title.

“I’m just very proud of everyone and thankful to have the family that I have,” Suarez said after clinching the title in front of his parents.

“My mom, my dad, they gave me all the tools to be here right now. They put me in a car even when we didn’t have the support or the racing background. They supported me and right now we are just living a dream.

“It’s still hard to believe this.”

Suarez was born in Monterrey and started racing carts before moving to North Carolina as a teenager to pursue his career.

The Xfinity Series is a secondary competition on the stock car circuit below the main NASCAR Sprint Cup series. (rtr)

Bagus Agro Pelaga BADUNG - In support of the regional government’s plan to develop the northern part of Badung Regency as an agribusiness and agro tourism area, Bagus Agro Pelaga has built a new tourist attraction where visitors may enjoy outstanding vistas of fruit, flower and vegetable farming while having fun. This modern agro tourism spot is spread out over 18 hectares of land, where more than 17 hectares is used for free chemical farming. To minimize water use, Bagus Agro Pelaga utilizes a drip irrigation system, which is quite different than the Balinese Subak system that relies on intensive water use.

The drip irrigation system enables precise water delivery and can adjust water for particular plants, thereby increasing water efficiency. Lies over a lush tranquil forest, in the mountain range of Pucak Mangu situated on 750 meters above sea level, the new tourist attraction in Bali built in Agricultural concept based on the Tri Hita Karana, the original Balinese Culture. This modern agro tourism spot is spread out over 18 hectares of land at Pelaga village in the Petang district.

The fresh mountain air and magnificent panorama surrounding the organic farm adorned with various colorful flowers and tropical fruits and vegetables, which apply a drip irrigation system, a different system instead of the Subak.

The drip irrigation system enables precise water delivery and can adjust water for particular plants, thereby increasing water efficiency. To support the Organic Farming System applied in this area, cattle have been developed as well, where cows, pigs, domestic chickens and some variety of fishes are raised.

The fresh and natural atmosphere around the ’emeraldish’ panorama of the hilly forest adorned by pure river and waterfalls creates a fantastic camping site that offers unforgettable experience and adventure. There are five restaurants that can accommodate up to 300 people for lunch or dinner.

The capacities of each restaurant are 50 people for the Terrace Restaurant, 80 people for each Fine Dining Restaurants (2 buildings), and more than 150 people can be accommodated in the Wantilan Halls. (IBP/net)

The 23-year-old American’s win at The Australian Golf Club two years ago on the back of a final round 63 was the springboard to a stellar 2015 in which he won five tournaments, including his first two majors.

At Royal Sydney on Sunday he prevailed after a gutsy threeunder 69 and a three-way playoff with Australians Ashley Hall and Cameron Smith, which he won with a 12-foot birdie putt.

Spieth was particularly pleased that he managed to get his swing right under pressure, especially after leading by five shots going into the back nine on the last day of this year’s U.S. Masters before blowing up and relinquishing his title.

“You can’t practice for being

very nervous,” he told reporters.

“You can’t get on the range and say okay, get nervous. It doesn’t work that way. It just comes through experience.

“It’s easier when you’re five or six up coming into the last few holes, you can trust anything, there’s no nerves, you’ve already closed it out.

“But it’s moments like today where you can really take it going forward.”

After his brilliant 2015, two wins on the U.S. PGA tour this year was considered a modest dividend for the former world number one.

While he was certainly not going to start predicting major successes for next season, he did

feel he would be able to draw on Sunday’s experience.

“I think a lot can be drawn back on 2014 into 15. The way we played the playoff, I think it’s going to do wonders for me,” he added.

“I’ve been in a little bit of a stall hitting the shots when they mattered.

“To hit those two shots in there right where I wanted to hit them and then to make the putt with it, is something I can draw on all next year.”

After two victories and a second place in his three trips Down Under, Spieth suggested he would be back at The Australian Golf Club to defend his title next year.

“Certainly plan on it, it’s hard to tell a year from now,” he said. “But how can you argue with coming here and gaining the confidence that we’ve had out of this event?” (rtr)

Lee Young-ryeol, chief prosecutor of Seoul Central Prosecutors’ Office, speaks during a news conference in Seoul, South Korea, November 20, 2016.

S.Korea prosecutors say President Park was accomplice in corruption scandal

SEOUL - South Korean prosecutors said on Sunday that they believed President Park Geun-hye was an accomplice in a corruption scandal that has rocked her administration, in a heavy blow to her fight for political survival.

The prosecutors’ comments, which came as they indicted a close friend of Park’s and two of her former aides, are likely to spur stronger calls for her to step down or be impeached.

Park’s close friend Choi Soonsil and former presidential aide An Chong-bum were charged with abuse of power by pressuring companies to contribute funds to foundations at the centre of the scandal, said Lee Young-ryeol, head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office.

“The special investigation team concluded that based on the evidence secured to date, the president was in complicity with Choi Soon-sil, An Chong-bum and Jeong Ho-seong to a considerable degree,” Lee told a news conference.

Jeong, also one of Park’s former aides, was indicted for leaking classified information to Choi.

Park’s lawyer Yoo Yeong-ha rejected the asssertion that she was involved, calling it an “imagina-

tion” and saying prosecutors “have built a house of fantasy.”

Presidential Blue House spokesman Jung Youn-kuk said the prosecutors’ announcement was “deeply regrettable.”

“The special investigation team made a claim as if the president has committed a grave crime when it announced the result of its investigation,” Jung said.

“The announcement is not truth at all and but a house of cards built on repeated imagination and speculation that completely ignores objective evidence.”

Park cannot be indicted because she has constitutional immunity, prosecutor Lee said, but added: “We will continue to investigate the president,” without elaborating.

Under the constitution, a sitting president cannot be indicted unless on charges of treason, but the conclusion by the prosecutors that Park was involved in the case prompted fresh calls from opposition parties for her to step down.

The main opposition Democratic Party and the centrist People’s Party said Park will face impeachment proceedings if she refuses to resign. But they stopped short of saying they would immediately initiate such a move.

Analysts said the prosecutors’ comments about Park’s role increased the prospect that she would face impeachment.

“It provided a legal basis for impeachment proceedings, not only her moral and political liabilities,” said Kim Jun-seok, a political science professor at Dongguk University in Seoul.

Park is unlikely to voluntarily step down because she would lose immunity against prosecution, Kim said. Her five-year term ends in February 2018.

“Then, the only option that is left for politicians given the worsening public sentiment is impeachment,” he said.

Park has resisted calls to resign over the scandal but has publicly apologised twice, saying that it was caused by her shortcomings and that she had sought help from the business community in the belief it would benefit the economy, not for personal gain. (rtr)

Laurent Meillan, acting regional representative of the United Nations Human Rights Office in South-East Asia, said the use of Sosma was very concerning.

“Security legislation should not be used against peaceful demonstrators. We call for the immediate and unconditional release of Maria Chin Abdullah and other activists,” Meillan said. Another Bersih leader, Hishamuddin Rais, and artist Fahmi Reza were also arrested.

“We are not here to bring down the country. We love this country! We are not here to tear down the government, we’re here to strengthen it,” Bersih deputy chair Shahrul Aman Shaari told the crowds gathered at the National Mosque. Najib has taken steps which critics say aim to limit discussion of the scandal, such as sacking a deputy prime minister, replacing the attorneygeneral, suspending newspapers and blocking websites. Najib retains significant support within UMNO and from the long-ruling Barisan Nasional coalition.

‘ARREST US ALL’

Turnout was lower than a similar rally last year, with police saying that about 15,500 Bersih supporters took part, while news portal Malaysiakini estimated around 40,000. As many as 200,000 people showed up last year at one point. Police had said the rally is illegal and that they would not hesitate to use tear gas or water cannon if things got out of hand. State news agency Bernama said about 7,000 policemen would be on duty near the protest areas.

Still, spirits were high among

those that gathered, with drums heard along with speeches, songs and chants by participants calling for a clean Malaysia and people power. Former Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohamad, Najib’s fiercest critic, joined protesters in front of the Twin Towers.

“Let him come and arrest us all. We will stand up for our leaders including Maria Chin who has been arrested for the wrong reasons,” said 91-year-old Mahathir.

Muhyiddin Yassin - the former deputy premier who was sacked and now leads a new party chaired by Mahathir - was also present, leading the crowds in chants of “Step down Najib!”

“Our country is being governed by clowns and crooks. So I’m here to protest against our prime minister,” said the artist Reza before being arrested.

Azalina Othman Said, a minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, on Saturday said it was unlawful for any party to try to unseat an elected government via street protests.

Fears of clashes between Bersih and a pro-Najib group called Red Shirts mounted earlier this week after the latter threatened to target Bersih supporters, though no major clashes were reported on Saturday. The pro-Najib group also rallied on Saturday and police estimated that about 2,500 supporters of Najib turned up.

Jamal Yunos, an UMNO member and leader of the Red Shirts, was arrested on Friday.

He had warned of a repeat of racial riots in 1969 that killed hundreds in clashes between Malays and ethnic Chinese. Ethnic Chinese and Indian minorities formed the bulk of the Bersih rally, similar to last year.(ap)

BUSINESS China pledges further opening as leaders scramble for free trade

LIMA - Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged to open the economy further on Saturday as leaders of Asia-Pacific countries sought new freetrade options following Donald Trump’s election to U.S. president on promises to scrap or renegotiate trade deals.

All eyes were on China at this year’s APEC summit in Lima, Peru just over a week after Trump’s surprise victory in the United States dashed hopes of the largestever U.S.-proposed trade deal, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), coming to fruition.

U.S. President Barack Obama has championed the TPP as a way to counter China’s rise, but he has now stopped trying to win congressional approval for the deal signed by 12 economies in the Americas and Asia-Pacific, excluding China. Without U.S. approval the current agreement cannot be implemented.

Trump campaigned against the TPP and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) as bad for U.S. jobs. He said he would scrap the TPP and threatened to impose tariffs on imports from China and Mexico. Following a meeting with Obama, Xi said Beijing’s relationship with Washington was at a “hinge moment” and called for a smooth transition.

Xi has been selling an alternate vision for regional trade by promoting the Beijing-backed Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which as it stands excludes the Americas. “China will not shut its door to the outside world but open more,” Xi said in a keynote address at APEC. “We’re going to...make sure the fruits of development are shared.”

Chinese attendance at the APEC meeting was its largest ever and regional delegates said China would take the lead on trade if the U.S. turned toward protectionism. The Obama administration has warned that the RCEP would not include strong protections for workers, the environment or intellectual property.

In Lima on his last scheduled trip abroad as president, Obama said the United States worked to include labor provisions in a U.S.-

The sun sets above residential buildings on a hazy day in Beijing, September 20, 2014.

Peru free trade agreement to lift wages and standards for Peruvian workers.

“That’s the kind of attitude that we want to try to promote in ... the years going forward, and my hope is that that policy will continue.”

TPP leaders held a meeting at APEC, where Obama urged them to work together to advance TPP, the White House said.

The leaders had confirmed the economic and strategic importance of the agreement, Japanese Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Kotaro Nogami told reporters after the meeting.

CHINA FILLS THE VOID? With the fate of the TPP uncertain, China’s talks on RCEP, which include Australia, India and more than a dozen other countries, are seen as perhaps the only path to the broader Free Trade Area of the

Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) that APEC aspires to.

“It’s a more traditional trade deal, reducing tariffs on goods and services. It’s not as far reaching as the TPP,” Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told reporters of RCEP. But “the more access we can get to more markets for our exports, the better.”

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said the United States was an important partner in the region, but China would fill the void if a Trump administration backs away from free trade. Key said TPP members might be able to incorporate “cosmetic changes” to make the deal more palatable to the real estate magnate and former reality TV star.

“The Trump Pacific Partnership for instance, that’d be fine,” Key said, laughing. Despite China’s overtures, some APEC members

were determined to press on with TPP and held out hopes the United States would still show leadership on trade.

“Our geopolitical position is with the United States, obviously,” Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said. “That’s where our eyes are set and that’s what we are working for.”

Pena Nieto said the NAFTA pact between the United States, Mexico and Canada should be “modernized,” noting that issues relating to labor rules and the environment were among those that could be included in such talks - two areas Mexico had believed it could update with the United States via TPP. Trump has vowed to scrap NAFTA if he cannot renegotiate it.

JAKARTA - A well-connected Indonesian marine renewable energy company and OpenHydro, a unit of French state-owned naval defence company DCNS, aim to be the first to plug into the vast untapped tidal energy potential of the world’s biggest archipelago.

Renewables have so far played little part in Indonesia’s power sector, despite the country sitting on the world’s biggest geothermal reserves and being bathed in sunshine, crowded out by an abundance of cheap coal and bureaucratic bottlenecks. But declining costs of renewable electricity and a new push by President Joko Widodo to develop renewables in the remote eastern parts of the archipelago are changing the picture.

With narrow straits straddling the Indian and Pacific oceans, Indonesia has significant tidal power potential, and PT Arus Indonesia Raya (AIR) and OpenHydro plan to build the country’s first such project. “This project is important for Indonesia and the world so we can stop burning coal,” AIR president director Panji Adhikumoro Soeharto told Reuters.

OpenHydro, a company specialising in the design and manufacture of marine turbines to generate renewable energy from tidal streams, already has projects in Japan, Britain, France and Canada. The AIR and OpenHydro model would appeal to renewable energy investors because it is relatively inexpensive and low in maintenance compared with other renewables, said Soeharto, grandchild of former Indonesian president Suharto.

“We’re doing the investment ourselves, with banks,” he said.

He did not say how much had been invested so far. According to the partners, Indonesia has the potential for up to 60 gigawatts of tidal power, more than Indonesia’s total electricity capacity of just over 50 gigawatts last year.

Land and permitting issues that often hold up power infrastructure

projects should be no obstacle for AIR, Soeharto said, referring to plans to build a factory in Indonesia and utilise 70 percent local content in their turbines. The turbines, which sit on the seabed, can cost up to $7 million each in Europe, a cost PT AIR plans to slash to as little as $4 million, Soeharto said.

“The only thing we can’t produce is the magnets - French technology.

Maybe in future we’ll study this.”

Over the next three years, the two companies plan to develop up to 20 2-megawatt turbines in a pilot tidal array in the Bali strait, which will supply power directly to state energy company Pertamina, Soeharto said. According to a release on the DCNS website, the Indonesian project is targeted to reach 300MW of installed capacity by 2023.

TURNING TIDE? Indonesia wants renewable energy to make up around a quarter of its total by 2025 from around 5 percent now, though critics have questioned its seriousness in meeting its climate goals, and its overall

plans to ramp up power production have got off to a slow start.

Yet attitudes toward renewable energy among Asian investors are changing as costs come down and environmental pressures mount, a Singapore-based hedge fund manager told Reuters.

Over the past two years the cost of producing solar and onshore wind power had begun to reach a level where it was competitive with fossil fuels, below 10 cents per kilowatt hour, he said. “It is beginning to happen.”

India and China, Indonesia’s two biggest coal buyers, are accelerating the global transformation from coal to cleaner energy sources.

Some of Indonesia’s biggest coal miners, such as state-owned Bukit Asam and Adaro, are also diversifying into renewables.

“Renewable energy is a must.

It’s no longer an option. We don’t have any choice,” recently appointed deputy energy minister Arcandra Tahar said at a forum in Jakarta last week.

While incentives will be needed

to kickstart renewable developments in Indonesia, on a per-kilowatt-hour basis they may already be cheaper than the diesel that many remote islands currently rely on for power, Tahar said.

By assisting state electricity company Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) to develop renewable energy, Indonesia could phase out diesel use and reduce its costly fuel subsidy bill, Tahar said, adding that his office was making this a priority over the next three years.

“Our focus now is on providing incentives and regulating prices that are acceptible to all sides,” Dadan Kusdiana, secretary at the Renewable Energy Directorate, told Reuters.

A spokesman for PLN said it was “wide open” to developing hybrid power systems in remote areas, combining renewables with traditional generators to guarantee electricity is available 24 hours a day. “We have to be oriented so that we reduce the cost of electricity,” PLN spokesman Made Suprateka told Reuters.(rtr)

Pena Nieto and Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Mexico’s government said in a statement the pair stated their countries should keep working together “to promote North America as a competitive and prosperous region.” The two also pledged their nations’ commitment to the “free market”, the statement added, without referring to NAFTA or TPP. Mexico, Japan, Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand and Singapore aim to continue with TPP with or without the United States, Mexico’s economy minister, Ildefonso Guajardo, said on Friday.

Several APEC members said it was too soon to write off support from Trump on TPP. “Barack Obama was not a supporter of the TPP when he became elected and he’s leaving office as one of its greatest advocates,” Australia’s Turnbull said.(rtr)

No regional bylaw, most convenience stores in Buleleng are illegal

SINGARAJA - Convenience store businesses have been popping up al lover Buleleng recently, but most of them are operationg without a permit becaseu the local government has yet to create a regional bylaw (Perda) on permits for modern chain stores.

According to data collected in the field last Wednesday (Nov. 16) several convenience stores are operating in nearly all of Buleleng’s nine districts. In fact Bueleleng has the largest number of 24 hours convenience stores.

What is more there seems to be no regulation at all as many of these convenience stores are located right next to traditional markets or small stalls run by peole with limited capital. A total of 34 stores have been noted as having permits but these only consiste of building permit (IMB) and trade business permit (SIUP) issued by the integrated licensing office (BPPT) of Buleleng. The owenrs of this stores are free to run their businesses free of obligations to the surrounding communities because there are as of yet no other regulations to which they must comply.

Head of the BPPT Buleleng, Putu Karuna, when met at his office on (Nov. 16) admitted thatalmost none of these stores have modern conveniece store permits and added that this have been a problem for a few years now as the issue has not been handled optimally. So far, the BPPT only required the store owners to have a building permit and trade business permit when they want to open their businesses.. The licensing service is in fact free of charge, however few owners are aware of the need to apply such permits. This is evident by the fact that in the last few years as many as 34 of these modern stores have opened with building permits and trade business permits, while the rest do not have these permits and are therefor considered illegal.

“So far, many modern stores do not have a special permit but do have building permits and trade business permist. We’d like to affirm here that no modern stores in Buleleng have a special permit for modern stores as in other regions” said Karuna.

According to this official from Banyuatis, Banjar subdistrict, the government is unable to control the existing modern stores in the region and the issue has been largely ignored because until now the local government does not have a regional bylaw setting forth the parameters of operation for such modern stores. Currently the only regulation reffered to is regional bylaw No.10/2013 regarding the Regulation, Control and Protection of Traditional Markets, Modern Markets and Supermarkets. Pursuant to this regulation, the government sets forth the location of modern market at 500 meters from traditional markets.

This spacing regulation reflects the government’s commitment to protect the continuity of traditional markets so that they remain to survive amid the competition against the modern markets.

“We do not have any special regional bylaw regarding permits for modern convenience stores like that of other regions. Currently we just refer to the existing regulations.

We only issue a permit, but the matter of tax payments or levies for modern stores is the domain of the revenue services (Dispenda)”, he explained.

Karuna did say that in order to issue reprimands and to obtain accurate data about modern convenience stores in the regions, the BPPT will team up with the municipal police in order to conduct inspections of the licensing documents of modern stores in the near future. At least, he said, this endeavor will yields data regarding the number of convenience stores operating in the region as well as the validity and expiratino of permits. “We have already coordinated with the municipal police and will be chcking on the permits of modern convenience stores to ascertain how many have expired permits or do not have any permits at all”, said Karuna.

At least 90 killed as India train derails, more than 150 injured

Lingkara Photo Community has been playing with ideas about the power of photography and will be presenting the results of their preliminary studies in an exhibition entitled “Power Playing”.

“Power Playing” by Lingkara Photo Community

SUPPOSING I were to take a photo of a public mural or of a picture from a magazine or of a dancer’s performance, and then presented this photo as a factual representation or even as my own art work? Would you read my photograph any differently than the original image?

What if I put a printed copy of my photo on a table, and then placed objects on top of it and photographed it again? Would the new image take on a different meaning still? And if I then printed this new image onto dozens of 8x11 sheets of paper and plastered them onto the wall of a gallery, would this image tell a whole other story? and if I then photographed this giant image in the gallery setting and printed this photo into a catalogue, how would you interpret this final image?

And then suppose that I was enjoying the process so much that I then photographed the photograph of the photograph from the gallery wall that was printed in the catalogue, printed out this image and then plastered it onto the wall next to the mural I had originally photographed? At what point would you start to question the meaning that an image can have depending on its context and the point of view of the photographer, or question the difference between a sign and a symbol?

Lingkara Photo Community has been playing with ideas about the power of photography and will be presenting the results of their preliminary studies in an exhibition entitled “Power Playing”, which Yan Lingkara describes as “photography as an intervention into reality”. The six artists that have been intervening into reality using photography in the manner mentioned above are: Rudi Wesnawa, Isamail Ilmi, Sr Awy, Ida Adi, Candra Mapu Gimblond, Christiana Arum.

Each of these photographers have taken their own distinct approach -as it

could be argued that all photographers always are.

“Power Playing”, features the outcome of these 6 photographers’ exploration into how photography interacts with our perception of reality, how context and point of view inform meaning but also brings to light the blurry lines that distinguish different art forms from one and other.

Photography is often seen less as an art form and more as a straight documentation of reality. However as curator Arif Bagus Prasetyo put it: “photography is not always reliable for accessing the “truth” about reality, because photography only shows ‘how the photographer sees’…photography communicates through objective and subjective factors and thus has never been a purely transparent medium”.

Through this monumental yet fragmented format, Power Playing invites us to take notice of the interpretive space that stands between the object being presented and the photographer who presents it.

Lingkara Photo Community is a

loose association of photography lovers dedicated to exploring all sorts of blurry lines. Experimentation with different media for photographs (printing onto wood, glass etc), different thematic concepts surrounding photography , and different subjects for photographs, Lingkara also holds smaller monthly exhibitions to share the results of these explorations.

“Lingkara Photcoffee’ is the name given to their weekly focussed group discussions in which lines between photography and any number of apparently unrelated subjects are also blurred, often yielding informative results for all concerned.

Although Linkgara Community is a non-profit organization dedicated to exploring and expanding all things photographic, they also have a business division known as “Lingkara Store’, designed to generate income for further photographic experimentation. Lingkara Store is a physical place where a number of locally produced eco-friendly products are sold and is also a conceptual ‘store’ that organizes and produces merchandise for all sorts of commercial and private events.

Power Playing, curated by Arif Bagus Prasetyo, will officially open on December 20th at 7:30pm with a unique performance of Dangdut songs, opening words by knowledgeable people, high quality locally sourced coffee, bbq corn, boiled peanuts and unforeseen interactions.

Police officials said about 20 people were still missing as authorities were trying to ascertain what caused 14 carriages of the train travelling between the northeastern city of Patna and the central city of Indore - to suddenly roll off the tracks in Pukhrayan, 65 kilometres south of Kanpur city.

Amid scenes of desperation and anguish, survivors were looking for family members and some were also trying to enter the damaged carriages to rescue relatives and collect belongings, said senior railway official Pratap Rai. “We are using every tactic to save lives but it’s very difficult to cut the metal carriages,” Rai said from the accident site.

With the death toll set to rise further, the derailment could become India’s worst rail tragedy since 2005, when a train was crushed by

a rock and another plunged into a river - each killing more than 100 people.

India’s creaking railway system is the world’s fourth largest, ferrying more than 20 million people each day, but it has a poor safety record, with thousands of people dying in accidents every year, including in frequent train derailments.

Suresh Prabhu, India’s Railways Minister, said in a tweet the government would immediately investigate the causes of the derailment and promised accountability with the “strictest possible action,” and compensation for the affected passengers.

Authorities were checking if the air brakes that would have prevented the disaster had failed, but added they would need to look further before concluding the cause of the accident. (rtr)

BERLIN - Angela Merkel is set to announce on Sunday she will seek a fourth term as German chancellor in next year’s election, ending months of speculation over whether one of the world’s most powerful women wants to run again after 11 years in office.

The 62-year-old conservative is widely seen as a stabilising force in Europe at a time of uncertainty after Britain’s vote to leave the European Union and the election of Donald Trump as the next U.S. president.

On Sunday afternoon, she meets other leaders of her Christian Democrats (CDU) in Berlin to prepare for a party conference in December, the last before the election. She has called a news conference for 1800 GMT, a sign interpreted by politicians and the media that she has made up her mind.

A pragmatist, Merkel has steered Europe’s biggest economy through

the financial crisis and the euro zone debt crisis and has won respect internationally U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday described her as an “outstanding” ally.

However, her decision last year to open Germany’s borders to around 900,000 migrants, mostly from war zones in the Middle East, angered many voters and hit her personal ratings.

Her party has slumped in regional elections in the last year while support for the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) has swelled.

In September, after a heavy defeat for the CDU in a Berlin state election, a humbled Merkel surprised the country by saying she wished she could turn the clock back on the migrant crisis, though she stopped short of saying her policy was a mistake.

Inscrutable Merkel, who grew up in Communist East Germany, is something of a loner. A physicist who only became involved in politics after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, she is seen as a talented negotiator but has also shown a ruthless streak.

A Protestant woman in a mainly Catholic and male-dominated party, at least when

she became its leader in 2000, Merkel never built up a regional power base but over the years she has rid herself of her main male rivals and has no obvious successor.

She still requires the backing of her Christian Social Union (CSU) allies in Bavaria, who have fiercely criticised her open-door migrant policy but, with no obvious candidate of their own, are widely expected to fall in behind her.

Polls put her conservative bloc around 10 points ahead of its nearest rivals, the Social Democrats (SPD), with whom she shares power. Many pollsters see another ‘grand coalition’ as the most likely option after the September election, although the rise of the AfD makes coalition arithmetic more complicated.

By standing again, Merkel could end up matching the 16 years in office of her former mentor, Helmut Kohl. It was Merkel herself who broke with Kohl and told her party in 1999, in the midst of a funding scandal, that it should move on without him.

It is unclear whether, if she wins a fourth term, she would serve a full four years. (rtr)

Anticipation of bad weather disruption

Bali Strait crossing advised to alert

NEGARA - Bad weather frequently occurred lately should be wary of a number of parties. They include marine transportation services in the Strait of Bali regularly operating for 24 hours. To anticipate marine accidents, the harbor master of Gilimanuk urged ferry skippers to be aware of weather changes any time in the Strait of Bali.

Though getting weather forecasts every day, the weather in the Strait of Bali is indeed difficult to predict. Cumulonimbus

cloud (CB) frequently emerging all at once is hazardous for crossing activities. From monitoring for two weeks in November,

the weather in the Strait of Bali remains to support so that crossings run normally.

Executive Manager of the Gilimanuk Harbor, Ni Komang Yuliani, told reporters on Friday (Nov. 18) that despite the crossing remains to run normally, vigilance of skippers is still required. When bad weather occurs and harms, the crossing will

be closed. In addition to strong winds accompanied with high waves, they must also watch out for heavy rains that can happen any time.

When it rains, visibility at sea will get disturbed especially at night. Skippers are still asked to remain standby and turn on their radio for 24 hours. Any time when a problem occurs, the

harbor authority of Gilimanuk will coordinate with the ship.

According to Yuliani, the current wind speed in the Bali Strait lies in the average of 5 to 14 knots per hour or still normal. Currently, the harbor operates 45 passenger ships (KMP) in three mobile dock bridges (MB) I, II, III, pontoon and the landing craft machine (LCM) pier. (kmb26)

To grow reading interest

Lebanon’s Nabil Karam enters Guinness Book of World Records for third time

LEBANON - Former Lebanese professional race car driver Nabil Karam has made it on the 2017 Guinness Book of World Records for the third time for having the

largest number of model sports cars and dioramas.

You can see Nabil Karam’s largest collection of model cars inside his museum in Zouk Mos-

beh, north of Beirut, Lebanon.

Karam received on November 16, 2016, Guinness World Record certificates for the largest collection of model cars and the

largest collection of dioramas, in celebration of the Guinness World Records Day. At a ceremony in Beirut on Wednesday, Nabil Karam broke his own Guinness

World titles when he was awarded two new records for having the largest collection of miniature cars, with 37,777 models, as well as 577 dioramas. (IBP/rtr)

Buleleng declares school literacy movement SINGARAJA - Central government issued a policy to foster reading interest among schools through literacy movement. The policy set forth in the Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture No.23/2015 is followed up by schools in Buleleng by declaring School Literacy Movement.

The declaration followed by the principals in Buleleng was centered at the SMAN Bali Mandara high school in Kubutambahan, Friday (Nov. 18). The declaration was at-

tended by the Head of the Buleleng Education Agency, Gede Suyasa, and Chairman of the Indonesian Teachers Association (PGRI) of Buleleng, Nyoman Darta.

Gede Suyasa said that every school is expected to organize school literacy movement to increase the reading interest considered to decrease lately. Hopefully, this movement could be done in a systematic, massive and structured manner, so that reading is not just a habit but also a culture at schools

concerned. Suyasa pointed out that the movement can be initiated by requiring students to read books or articles at least 15 minutes before starting the learning activity. To support this movement, schools have to prepare a representative school library. “They should not necessary consist of textbooks, but our students can read fiction books, journals, newspaper clippings and articles,” he said.

On the other hand, Suyasa said that in line with this policy, every

school, especially elementary school, is expected to continuously increase their book collections to support school literacy movement. This can be realized by utilizing the school operating funds (BOS). Five percent of which shall be used to purchase books, so that the fund could support the literacy movement in the long term. “The library is physical aspect, but our target at the discretion of central government is meant to change the reading habit into the culture of students at school,” he said.

In the meantime, Chairman of the PGRI Buleleng, Nyoman Darta, said the school literacy movement was started at the SMAN Bali Mandara in 2012. The SMAN Bali Mandara does not only require the entire school community to read for 15 minutes, but also create a reading habit among students at least for 30 minutes. Besides, this habit has led to the willingness of students to prepare a research, scientific experiments or doing things for entrepreneurship. (kmb38)

Fishermen still lack attention as indicated by minimal govt. aid SEMARAPURA - The distirct of Klungkung is home to many fishermen and their canned fish has become quite popular in many regions. Unfortunately, the government of Klungkung has provided very little financial aid or facilities in support of these fishermen. The fate of these fishermen has however finally drawn the attention of a legislator of the Democratic Faction.

Democratic party legislator from the Klungkung House of Representatives, I Made Jana, expressed the opinion of his party’s faction

regarding the fate of Klungkung’s fishemen recently.. According to Jana, the potential of the fisheries particularly marine fisheries in Klungkung is huge. This is evident from the 12.5 tons of fish a day that are required by the market, compared to the 2 tons a day that are processed in Klungkung. Fishermen in Klungkung simply do not have the support they need in order to meet this demand.

Dspite the massive demand for marine products, many fishemrn in Klungkung have to look for other

work because they do not catch enough fish to make a living. As a result, the demand for fish at the Segara Beach fish auction (TPI) in Kusamba, is supplied by fishermen form other areas such as Karangasem. In addition, frozen fish from Benoa (Denpasar) also supplies the fish auction when fish boiling businesses in Klungkung do not catch enough fish. The Democratic Faction is therefor usrging the government of Klungkung to support their local fishermen so that they can compete with fishermen from

other areas.

According to Jana, the volume of fish caught by Klungkung fishermen can be improved by changing the patterns of traditional fishing, increasing the capacity of vessels and by providing training. “Infrastructure needs to be set up to promote this industry” said Jana.

The Tegal Besar Beach fishermne’s group has spoken up about the lack of attention from the government. The fishermen group’s leader, I Made Sudira, said that the lack of attention has meant that they

are “ in suspended animation”.

Head of the Klungkung Fisheries and Marine Resources (PPK) Agency, I Gusti Ngurah Badiwangsa, could not be reached for comment.

Meanwhile monitoring of the electronic procurement service (LPSE) of Klungkung for the projects allocated in the regional budget 2016 there is indication of funds for fishermen, apart from the procurement of a fish boiling building with a budget of IDR 1.25 billion. (dwa)

Hoteliers offer shared management with local govt Lately, the issue of waste on the beach is mostly triggered by marine debris washed away by streams emptying out on some coastal locations in Buleleng. The addition of waste volume from rivers occurs when entering rainy season like these days.

Besides, the waste on the beach is still found scattered due to the behavior of people throwing waste at riverbanks or accidentally throw to the beach. In the meantime, coastal waste is triggered by the activities both on land and at sea frequently found littering coral reef area or floating on the sea surface.

One of the coastal areas are often littered by waste is Penimbangan Beach at Baktiseraga village, Buleleng. The coastal area currently starting to be visited local travelers is still facing waste problem. Independent waste handling begins to be conducted by groups of fishermen group with seaside stall owners.

Though with modest tools, they managed to keep the beach environment clean from marine debris washed away by ocean currents or streams emptying out on the beach.

However, they cannot afford to keep the wider area because of restricted operating costs and infrastructure.

Assistance was already proposed to relevant agency, but unfortunately it has not been fulfilled.

Similar endeavor has also been carried out by management of hotels or restaurants at some locations in Buleleng. However, the handling is just focused on the area of their tourist accommodation and the waste outside the area has not been handled properly. The endeavor is not optimal so that it often results in protests from local and foreign travelers or travel agencies. Other than protests, travelers or other parties openly complained about the inconvenience on coastal environment in Buleleng via email to hoteliers and restaurateurs in the area.

This was recognized by Dwi, a hotel manager at Lovina. When met on Friday (Nov. 18) he lately received complaints about waste problem that cannot be handled properly. They do not just protest, but some complain that they are uncomfortable when making a visit because the beach is littered by plas-

tic waste, shattered bottle or animal carcass. “Lately, businesspeople and we also often receive complaints about waste on the beach from travelers. We cannot deny because in reality the waste is still littering our beaches,” he said.

According to this man from Jembrana, the sanitation especially in the hotel or restaurant area has been well maintained by the respective employers. It is done by assigning employees to clean up the area of the beach every day.

As for the area outside the hotel or restaurant area, the waste man-

agement requires the participation of community members together with relevant agencies in local government and other institutions at administrative and customary village. “We carry out beach cleanup by assigning our staff alternately from 06:00 until 18:00. At particular time, we also perform with the PHRI along the Lovina Beach,” he explained.

To move sustainable handling, Dwi offered cooperation of tourism entrepreneurs, community leaders at fishermen village and relevant agencies to conduct coastal sanitation in

a sustainable manner. Moreover, if it requires operating costs, it can be agreed upon by tourism players by becoming donors through the corporate social responsibility program.

“If charged to the government, I am sure it cannot. We have an idea to handle the waste problem through mutual assistance with the government, employers and the communities. I have confidence if the waste is handled sustainably, the coastal environment will be comfortable and can dismiss the protest of travelers assessing the beach in Buleleng is dirty,” he said.

SEMARAPURA - The endeavors of Klungkung district to develop tourism and all the potentials of Nusa Penida are well received by central government. A total of 11 ministries will surely soon make a visit to Nusa Penida to develop the potential owned by the islands.

With this visit, central government is expected to disburse assistance to boost Nusa Penida.

Regent of Klungkung, I Nyoman Suwirta, conveyed that his government already received confirmation on the arrival of 11 ministries to Nusa Penida. Their presence has something to do with the potential owned by Nusa Penida such as the Ministry of Tourism and Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries.

“Eleven ministries will inspect the area of Nusa Penida,” he said.

Their presence in Klungkung district has replied the expectation that central government can encourage the development of Nusa Penida. Until now, Nusa Penida is still encountering a variety of problems such as the less optimal infrastructure in the field of marine tourism, supply of clean water and electricity. Nusa Penida is also a sub-district contributing to the largest poverty rate.

Regent Suwirta also requested the support of Nusa Penida community so that the presence of the ministries will be able to help resolve many problems in Nusa Penida. “I invite the entire community to unite the mind

NEW YORK - Taylor Swift may be just 26 years old, but with a 10-year career behind her, multiple Grammy Awards and higher earnings than any other celebrity, she now has her own exhibition.

The Taylor Swift Experience arrived in New York this week for a three-month stay after opening at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles in 2014.

Displays include the country-

turned-pop singer’s handwritten lyrics, her piano, some of her 10 Grammy statuettes, her baby clothes and show costumes.

“It’s basically the story of Taylor Swift and the making of a modern

superstar. It’s funny, she’s 26 years old and she’s already a legend, but it’s actually the truth,” said Grammy Museum curator Nwaka Onwusa.

Swift started her career in Nashville as a guitar-strumming 16 year-old and was named by Forbes as the world’s top earning celebrity of 2016 with earnings of $170 million. (rtr)

People gather to listen to former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohammad speak during a 1MDB protest organized by pro-democracy group Bersih, calling for Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to resign, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia November 19, 2016.

Malaysian protesters march against Prime Minister Najib KUALA LUMPUR - Tens of thousands of protesters, undeterred by the arrests of opposition leaders, marched in Malaysia’s capital on Saturday demanding that Prime Minister Najib Razak step down.

Protesters clad in yellow shirts marched through the heart of Kuala Lumpur bringing traffic to a standstill in several tourist spots, wrapping up peacefully in front of the iconic Petronas Twin Towers after an initial plan to assemble at Independence Square was thwarted by police.

Najib has faced criticism since the Wall Street Journal reported last year that around $700 million from state fund 1Malaysia Development

Berhad (1MDB) was diverted into the personal bank account of the prime minister.

Najib ran into further trouble when lawsuits filed by the U.S. Justice Department in July said over $3.5 billion was stolen from 1MDB, which was founded by Najib, and that some of those funds flowed into the accounts of “Malaysian Official 1”, whom U.S. and Malaysian officials have identified as Najib.

The demonstration is unlikely to shake the prime minister, who has denied wrongdoing and weathered the crisis, consolidating power by cracking down on dissenters. Eleven activists and opposition leaders were arrested on Friday and at least two more were detained at the rally. The

deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said there could be more arrests in the coming days.

Maria Chin Abdullah, the chair of pro-democracy group Bersih that organised the rally, was detained under Malaysia’s Security Offences (Special Measures) Act, or Sosma, her lawyers said. The law was introduced in 2012 to protect the country from security and extremist threats.
