187 new lupus cases occur during JanuaryOctober 2016

LOS ANGELES - Canadian rapper Drake won his first ever American Music Awards on Sunday, Ariana Grande was named artist of the year, and punk band Green Day took aim at newly-elected U.S. President Donald Trump. “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA,” sang Green Day, performing their controversial anti-gun violence single “Bang Bang” on the live show and re-writing some of the lyrics. It was the most overt reference to the Nov.8 U.S. presidential elections at the three-hour awards show where the focus was otherwise mostly on music. Pop singer Selena Gomez, 24, who surprised fans by making her first major public appearance since cutting short her world tour in August to deal with panic attacks and depression, won the best pop/ rock female artist award. In an emotional speech, Gomez thanked her fans for their loyalty and explained why she felt the need to take a break. “Most of you know a lot of my life whether I like it or not. I had to stop. I had everything, but I was absolutely broken,” said Gomez, who is also known for her on and off again romance with Justin Bieber

Ariana Grande accepts the award for artist of the year at the 2016 American Music Awards in Los Angeles, California, U.S., November 20, 2016. for the past five years. The American Music Awards are chosen by fans voting online. Drake, 30, who got a leading 13 nominations, won best rap/hiphop artist, song and album for his best-selling “Views”, which earlier this year became the first album to earn one billion streams on Apple Music. “For our genre, I like to keep things exciting and keep making music... more like this is coming soon,” Drake said, accepting the

award. But pop singer Grande, 23, was chosen artist of the year, beating Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Gomez. “I can’t believe this. I am shaking with nerves,” she said. “I hope that I can bring joy to you and make you feel unified and happy.” Former One Direction member Zayn Malik, who quit British boy band One Direction last year to launch a solo career, bested Canadian Shawn Mendes to take the best new artist trophy.

In this image provided by Morton County Sheriff’s Department, law enforcement and protesters clash near the site of the Dakota Access pipeline on Sunday, Nov. 20, 2016, in Cannon Ball, N.D. The clash came as protesters sought to push past a bridge on a state highway that had been blockaded since late October, according to the Morton County Sheriff’s Office.

DENPASAR - Autoimmune (excessive body immunity) cases were formerly difficult to be diagnosed due to limited laboratory facilities. Thus, when experiencing complications, people just know if they suffer from an autoimmune disease. However, people suffering from autoimmune can be seen from the initial symptoms. Autoimmune disease includes lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus of type 1, lupus erythematosus et cetera. “So, it gives impression that this time there is a high explosion of lupus disease. Thus, the patients can be diagnosed and treated more quickly before complications occur and remission rate of the disease is greater,” said Gede Kambayana, a specialist in internal medicine, rheumatology division of the Sanglah Hospital, recently. The new cases he handles have reached 100 patients in 2016. In the meantime, he had conducted a research at Sanglah Hospital that new cases from January to October 2016 already reached 187 cases.

Police, protesters face off at Dakota Access pipeline

CANNON BALL, N.D. — Tension flared anew on the Dakota Access pipeline as protesters tried to push past a long-blocked bridge on a state highway, only to be turned back by a line of law enforcement using water cannon and what appeared to be tear gas. Sunday’s skirmishes began around 6 p.m. after protesters removed a burned-out truck on what’s known as the Backwater Bridge, not far from the encampment where they’ve been for weeks as they demonstrate against the pipeline. The Morton County Sheriff’s Department estimated 400 protesters sought to cross the bridge on state Highway 1806. A live stream early Monday showed a continued standoff, with large lights illuminating smoke wafting across the scene. The sheriff’s department said in a statement

around 1 a.m. Monday that approximately 100 to 200 protesters were on the bridge or in the vicinity. It said law enforcement officers “had rocks thrown at them, burning logs and rocks shot from slingshots,” and that one officer had been hit on the head by a thrown rock. At least one person was arrested. Protesters said a gym in Cannon Ball was opened to aid demonstrators who were soaked on a night the temperature dipped into the low 20s or were hit with tear gas. Rema Loeb told The Associated Press he was forced to retreat from

the bridge because he feared being doused with water on the freezing night. Others, he said, needed medical treatment after being hit with tear gas. “It’s been just horrible,” said the 83-year-old Loeb, who traveled from Massachusetts about two weeks ago to join the protests. The 1,200-mile, four-state pipeline is being built to carry oil from western North Dakota to a shipping point in Illinois. But construction of the $3.8 billion pipeline has been protested for months by the Standing Rock Sioux, whose reservation lies near the pipeline route, and the tribe’s allies, who fear a leak could contaminate their drinking water. They also worry that construction could threaten sacred sites.

Energy Transfer Partners has said no sites have been disturbed and that the pipeline will have safeguards against leaks, and is a safer method of transport for oil than rail or truck. The company has said the pipeline is largely complete except for the section under Lake Oahe. The bridge lies near where protesters had set up camp on private property owned by the pipeline developer, Energy Transfer Partners, before they were forcibly removed by law enforcement Oct. 27. It’s also about a mile from an uncompleted section under Lake Oahe, a Missouri River reservoir, where work has been on hold by order of federal agencies. Tara Houska, an organizer with Honor the Earth, told the Bismarck

Tribune that the Cannon Ball gym was opened to aid people who had been doused with water or tear gas. Phone calls to the sheriff’s department late Sunday went to an answering machine. On Friday, Kelcy Warren, the chief executive of Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, said the company is unwilling to reroute the pipeline.(ap) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

COVER STORY

Lupus... From page 1

IBP/net

So far, the cause of autoimmune disease is not known because it automatically comes, not caused by external factors, but internally comes from the body. However, the autoimmune disease can be triggered by external factors such as fatigue, stress, et cetera. Lupus mostly attacks younger women, in second to third decade from teens to twenties. Other arising symptoms in need of being suspected as lupus include fatigue, not too high heat, hair fall, frequent joint pain or muscular aches and frequent canker sore. When encountering these symptoms, he advised to immediately consult to a specialist in

There is no term of recovery in autoimmune disease such as lupus, but it is termed as complete remission meaning the condition where patients no longer experiences a complaint and no longer need to take medication. “When identified early, it can prevent organ damage. It will enable the treatment for 4-10 months to reach complete remission or total loss but the autoimmune remains to exist, while the symptoms disappear. It resembles a re-born but the lupus label remains to exist,” he explained. To prevent recurrence, he advised to live a healthy lifestyle, adequate rest, consume healthy food and avoid infection. “Though getting complete remission, it has great potential to relapse,” he added.

Novartis backs off from 2016 date for testing Google autofocus lens

United Launch Alliance via AP

This photo provided by United Launch Alliance shows a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket carrying GOES-R spacecraft for NASA and NOAA lifting off from Space Launch Complex41 at 6:42 p.m. EST at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., Saturday, Nov. 19, 2016. The most advanced weather satellite ever built rocketed into space Saturday night, part of an $11 billion effort to revolutionize forecasting and save lives.

U.S. weather satellite’s launch promises ‘quantum leap’ in forecasts

ZURICH - Novartis has abandoned a 2016 goal to start testing its autofocus contact lens on people, though it said the groundbreaking product it is making with internet giant Google is “progressing steadily.” “It is too early to say when exactly human clinical trials for these lenses will begin,” a spokeswoman for the Basel-based drugmaker said in an email on Friday. “This is a very technically complex process and both sides are learning as we go along. We will provide updates at the appropriate time,” she said. Novartis Chief Executive Joe Jimenez said last year his company’s Alcon eye care unit was on track to begin testing in 2016. In 2014, Jimenez said he hoped the lens would be on the market in about five years. Novartis and Google joined forces two years ago to develop two kinds of “smart” contact lenses: An autofocusing lens for people with presbyopia, or far-sightedness, and another for measuring blood glucose levels in diabetes patients. The lenses are now being developed with Alphabet Inc.’s life sciences unit Verily, which was carved out from Google in 2015. Measuring blood sugar via the eye could allow diabetics to stop having to prick their fingers, while an autofocus contact lens would help people whose ability to focus is impaired when their eyes age. It is unclear when testing for the diabetes lens will start. Since the partnership with Google was launched in 2014, Alcon’s sales have slid and its leadership team has been replaced. New division head Mike Ball has been tasked with halting the revenue decline in advance of a possible sale of the unit. But Novartis said that did not bar investment in innovative projects such as the lens effort with Google. “Advancing innovation such as the smart lens technology, is a key part of Alcon’s growth strategy,” the spokeswoman said. “The ‘smart lens’ technology has the potential to transform eye care and further enhance our pipeline ... in the contact lens and intraocular lens space.” (rtr)

CAPE CANAVERAL - A U.S. weather satellite that will “revolutionize” forecasting blasted off from Florida’s Cape Canaveral on Saturday, promising to deliver continuous high-definition views of hurricanes and other storms over the Western Hemisphere. A detailed stream of images provided by the satellite is expected to sharpen weather forecasts, provide more advanced warning of floods and better tracking of wildfires, plumes and volcanic ash clouds. Carried atop an Atlas 5 rocket, the GOES-R satellite lifted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 6:42 p.m. EST. The launch was delayed an hour to resolve a technical issue with the rocket, developed by United Launch Alliance, a partnership of Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT.N) and Boeing Co. (BA.N), said

NASA launch commentator Mike Curie. A second, unrelated issue also contributed to the delay. Once in position 22,300 miles (35,888 km) above the equator, GOES-R is designed to take a complete picture of the hemisphere every five minutes while simultaneously zooming in on specific regions to monitor fires, volcanic eruptions, heavy rainfall and storms. The satellite, the 17th in the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) series, is the first to be launched since 2010. It is a step up from

its predecessors, which take 30 minutes to image the hemisphere and are not capable of carrying out multiple tasks at the same time. “This is a quantum leap,” Sandra Cauffman, deputy director of Earth Sciences at NASA, said at a press conference on Thursday. “It will truly revolutionize weather forecasting.” The heart of the new satellite is a high-resolution camera, designed and built Exelis Inc., a subsidiary of Harris Corp (HRS.N). It can see in 16 wavelengths, compared with five available with the current system. (rtr)

Karangasem potentially becomes center for onion nursery

AMLAPURA - Balinese people have not been able to meet their own basic needs. They mostly remain to rely on supplies from Java. One of the most prominent is the need for spices such as chili, coconut, onions and other kind of spices. Chairman of the Agribusiness Association of Karangasem, Ida Wayan Oka, stated not long ago that Karangasem is actually quite appropriate to become the center for onion nursery to help meet the supply for onion needs in Bali. According to him, local government should encourage people to have a more visionary mindset to make agriculture in Bali more advanced. Balinese people cannot just rely on tourism. Supposedly the agriculture should become the main focus of development because it will touch the majority of Balinese people. He was concerned as the Balinese themselves are still unable to meet their own needs whereas the potential in Bali, especially in Karangasem, is quite large. One of the commodities to be easily developed and have a great opportunity is the nursery of onions. Onion has planting period of only 55 days. The price is also not too fluctuating at the market

level throughout the year. It happens because the onion commodity has the most stable price among the others. Karangasem can develop seed of onion to be supplied to the centers for other onion development in Bali, such as Kintamani and other regions. This agricultural leader from Budakeling village, Bebandem, said that the appropriate location for the center for onion nursery is the area around Bukit Cemara, Jungutan village. Some other hilly areas are also suitable because the temperature is not too high. He said that several farmer groups in the local area have interested in developing it. As a result, the onion seeds can grow well at that location. However, to get maximum results, it needs a more massive movement. He hoped this can be taken seriously by local government. It is meant to encourage new movement to make farming more passionate in Karangasem in meeting basic needs of Balinese people. (kmb31)

Karangasem is actually quite appropriate to become the center for onion nursery to help meet the supply for onion needs in Bali.

DENPASAR - Street masseurs in tourist areas are encouraged to participate in the training and certification because it can be taken advantage as capital in anticipation of the free labor market in Southeast Asia as well as to increase professionalism and revenue. Promotion and Cooperation Manager of Tirta Nirwana Indonesia Professional Certification Institute (LSP), Yulia Himawati, emphasized that the government through the Ministry of Tourism has a free certification program that can be utilized. “In the tourist areas in Indonesia such as on the beach there are many masseurs. Unfortunately, some of them do not attend training. Thus, they are working on their own without complying with procedures. It is different from, for example, they attend training first or have work experience in a spa company,” she said in a press release, Friday (Nov. 18). She revealed that although there are no accurate data on the number of street masseurs or those affiliated

to official spa company, the facts in the field indicate that most of them have not been trained. According to her, many of the masseurs have good talent to be a therapist, but do not want to attend training and certification due to ignorance of information. Yulia conveyed there is a viewpoint among the masseurs that taking certification will cost too much. Actually, she continued, to attend training and certification will not have to spend much money because there has been special certification program for free from the ministry of tourism. According to her, if the street masseurs participate in the training and certification, they will get enormous benefits, like a certificate that can be used as a working capital. In addition, they will be well directed in the practice because they are taught about anatomy, aroma therapy as well as the stages before performing massage. “A masseur should know the function of massage from head to toe. It has particular guidance

and may not do the massage arbitrarily. For example, there is a sick visitor on the beach and the illness is not known but the masseur massages him or her carelessly. It can cause him or her collapse. In the training, a therapist is taught about anatomy and aroma therapy,” she said. By learning properly, the program is believed to become one of the ways to restore the image of spa to health. So far, there is still an image attached to a specific community that spa is identical to negative things. She would team up with a training institute to provide training for people getting involved like the street masseurs. She stated that as professional certification institution it is not allowed to provide training, but certification only. In the meantime, related to certification, the Tirta Nirwana targeted to certify 400 therapists across Bali. On Friday (Nov. 18), the institution based in Jakarta organized competency test certification to about 100 therapists from Ayung Resort, Pandan Wan-

IBP/kmb31

Street masseurs need training and certification gi, The Royal Santrian, Taman Air Spa, Pan Pacific Nirwana, Jimbaran Wellness, Prana Spa, Gaya Spa, Zen Family Spa and Holiday Inn Benoa. Materials of the certification include four clusters namely body care, facial care as well as hair and feet treatment. Besides, there is water treatment with five assessors. According to Yulia, the certification program is free because it is supported by ministry of tourism. Materials of the competency test are adapted to national standards of the Indonesia work competencies (SKKNI). “This certification has become the government’s decision that all workers in Indonesia must be certified. Spa sector, pursuant to presidential decree, must also be certified. We certify spa therapists so that they will not lose in the competition against foreign labor,” she explained. She described that in the era of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) it will become borderless for workers to get

job opportunities in the tens members of the Southeast Asian countries, so that it is important for therapist to get certification so as not to lose in the competition. The AEC provides an open opportunity for anyone to compete transparently. Gusti Ayu Putu Yuliastrini, a therapist from Taman Air Spa, recognized that such certification is needed by workers like her. According to her, in addition to reminding the basic of the spa, she also potentially increases the salaries and gets higher employment opportunities. She supported free certification program for spa therapists because it can reduce the burden of therapist as labor. However, on the other hand she desperately needs a professional certificate that can support her involvement in the spa industry. “We are very happy to get the certificate of competency required for work experience. Who knows there is a plan to become a therapist overseas that also needs this certification,” she said after attending the competency test. (may)

Nusa Dua Fiesta successfully draws tens of thousands of visitors

MANGUPURA - The twentieth Nusa Dua Fiesta (NDF) took place for five days (Nov. 16-20) on the Peninsula Island. The event closed with a firework party on Sunday (Nov. 20) successfully drew the interest of tens of thousands of visitors. In the upcoming 2017, the NDF will metamorphose into Pesona Nusa Dua Fiesta. As the record, the daily visitor reached the average of 14,000 people. On the fourth day of the NDF, the visitors reached approximately 26,700 people. During four days of the event, a total of 59,494 people visited the venue on the Peninsula Island. “The number of visitors has exceeded 50,000 people and we hope to approach the figure of 100,000 visitors,” said Chairman of the NDF 2016 Committee, A.A. Ngurah Wirawan, when giving a speech on the closing of the NDF 2016. Ngurah Wirawan stated that the event is expected to contribute to the increase in tourist visits and hotel occupancy, while providing entertainment for the people of South Kuta and Bali. Final goal of the NDF 2016 is to show off to the world that Nusa Dua area is more than just a center for accommodation and venue of conferences. Nusa Dua is also capable of becoming a venue for various forms of large-scale outdoor activities. Next year, he said, the Nusa Dua Fiesta will be renamed into Pesona Nusa Dua Fiesta. “In accordance with the direction of the ministry of tourism, Nusa Dua is ready to spearhead the international competition in terms of implementation of various world-class MICE events. Of course, it is equipped with the best services in all areas,” said Ngurah Wirawan. On that occasion, it was also presented the mascot of Nusa Dua in the form of squirrel doll. The twentieth NDF was officially opened by Minister of Tourism Arief Yahya on Wednesday (Nov. 16) featuring the theme ‘Bring the World to Bali’ that summarized the activities consisting of culture, art, sport, fun and exhibition.

If all this time the Denfes is indeed held in the area of Catur Muka Denpasar, it is now proposed to be moved. Road closures in the heart of Denpasar city are ascertained to trigger a long traffic jam on some road sections. “I recommend the Denfes to be no longer held in Catur Muka area. Appropriately, it must try to hold at Lumintang,” said Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the Denpasar House of Representatives, I.B. Mayun Komala Putra, accompanied by a member of Commission III, Wayan Suwirya, at his office, Friday (Nov. 18).

Both cadres of the Golkar Party assessed that municipal government should look the reality all this time. Currently congestion is increasing. When held again by closing the main road sections, surely the congestion will be getting more severe. “All this time, it has never been tried to hold anywhere else and now it is time to try. Visitors will be definitely crowded as well,” said Suwirya. He said if it does not want to be moved at least it will no longer use the Jalan Gajah Mada as the center for the Denfes activities. The activi-

ties can be carried out at Puputan Badung Square and the road section in front of Jagatnatha Temple. “Should there be any damages to the field, it can be repaired again,” said both people’s representatives. Earlier, the Division Head of the Economic Affairs of Denpasar Municipality, Made Saryawan, ensured that Denfes will still be organized and becomes the priority of annual event. Moreover, this time the Denpasar Municipality requests the support of the Ministry of Tourism to promote it nationally and internationally. “It is true that for this year there will be a launching of the festival to national level, requesting for promotional budget to the ministry, where the tourism ministry has indeed a budgetary support for the promotion,” he said.

Park’s close friend Choi Soon-sil and former presidential aide An Chong-bum have been charged with abuse of power by pressuring companies to contribute funds to foundations at the centre of the scandal. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of Seoul on Saturday in the fourth straight weekend of protests against Park, in the biggest public demonstrations the country has seen since the 1980s. Park, who’s five-year term ends in February 2018, has resisted calls to resign but has apologised twice, saying she only sought to benefit the economy not herself, but acknowledges carelessness in her ties with Choi. The People’s Party, with 38 seats in the single-chamber 300-member parliament, has started efforts to remove Park from office and will talk with other parties to get signatures for an impeachment motion, said a party spokesman Lee Yong-ho. An impeachment motion requires at least half of the parliament to start and needs a two-thirds majority to pass. If an impeachment motion passes parliament, it is reviewed by the Constitutional Court, which has to confirm it with at least six of its nine judges. Political analysts say an impeachment motion against Park has a good chance of passing. The Democratic Party, which has 121 seats, said on Monday it would start reviewing the conditions for impeachment proceedings but did not commit to starting the motion. (rtr)

India rail crash raises concerns of underinvestment as toll hits 142

Rescuers work at the site after 14 coaches of an overnight passenger train rolled off the track near Pukhrayan village in Kanpur Dehat district of the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, India, Monday, Nov. 21, 2016. Dozens died and dozens more were injured in the accident.

PUKHRAYAN - Indian rescuers on Monday called off a search of the mangled carriages of a derailed train after pulling more bodies from the wreckage, taking to at least 142 the number of passengers killed in the disaster. Sunday’s derailment in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh was India’s deadliest train tragedy since 2010 and has renewed concern about poor safety on the state-run network, a lifeline for millions that has suffered from chronic underinvestment. Rescue teams worked through the night with cranes and cutters to disentangle the train before police halted the search of the 14 carriages that derailed in the early hours, while most passengers slept. “The rescue operations are

over. We don’t expect to find any more bodies,” said Zaki Ahmed, the police inspector general in the city of Kanpur, about 65 km (40 miles) from Pukhrayan, the crash site. The crash came during India’s busy wedding season and media said blood-stained bags of saris and wedding cards carried by at least one wedding party on board were scattered beside the wreckage. The derailment injured more than 200 people, at least 58 of them seriously, officials said, as relatives thronged hospitals in a search for survivors. A railways spokesman said the train carried 1,000 people travelling on reservations, but 700 more were estimated to have squeezed into the unreserved carriages. (rtr)

LIMA - Pacific Rim leaders vowed on Sunday to fight protectionism and Chinese officials said more countries are looking to join a China-led trading bloc after Donald Trump’s election victory raised fears the United States would scrap free trade deals. Trump campaigned for U.S. president on a promise to pull out of the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal, and also threatened to impose steep tariffs against China and Mexico. Regional leaders responded on Sunday, saying they would push ahead with the TPP. “We reaffirm our commitment to keep our markets open and to fight against all forms of protectionism,” they said at a summit meeting of the 21-country Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) group in Peru. On his last foreign trip before he leaves the White House in January, President Barack Obama said abandoning TPP would be a mistake for the United States. “I think not moving forward would undermine our position across the region and our ability to shape the rules of global trade in a way that reflects our values and our interests,” Obama told a news conference at the end of the summit. Obama negotiated the TPP but has stopped seeking its congressional approval and says its ratification is now up to the incoming Trump administration.

APEC leaders vow to fight protectionism, look to China on trade

China is not part of the TPP and has been pushing an alternative vision of free trade in Asia under the so-called Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which does not currently include countries in the Americas. Tan Jian, a senior member of China’s delegation at the summit, said more countries are now seeking to join its 16-member bloc, including Peru and Chile, and that current members want to reach a deal as soon as possible to counter rising protectionism. In a final declaration, APEC leaders said the TPP and RCEP were both valid paths to a broader Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific, which has long been a goal of the APEC bloc that accounts for 57 percent of the world economy. “We encourage that all regional undertakings, including TPP and RCEP, remain open, transparent and inclusive and draw on each other,” they said. Some APEC leaders in Lima have suggested the TPP could continue without the United States, but others said that would require a complete renegotiation. Another way forward might be to make some cosmetic changes that would allow Trump to change his mind on the TPP without losing face, New Zealand Prime Minister John Key suggested. Obama said he was already hearing calls for a “less ambitious” free trade agreement with fewer protections for workers and environmental standards, a likely reference to the China-led RCEP. “That kind of agreement would obviously exclude U.S. workers and businesses and access to those markets,” he said. China’s delegation warned against the “politicization” of trade agreements and said they should not just be for rich economies. “If you have such high standards, then developing economies will have difficulty with trade,” Jian told Reuters. A “low threshold for developing economies ... that is also important.” Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, who hosted the summit, said it was too early to write off the TPP and that Trump’s support was due more to “difficult economic conditions” than to fierce protectionist sentiment. Canada, a member of TPP but not RCEP, is keeping its options open on future trade deals, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said. Australia, similarly, said it was pursuing various opportunities, including RCEP.(rtr)

Thai Q3 GDP momentum cools, but exports show signs of recovery

BANGKOK - Thailand’s economy grew less than expected in the third quarter on slower consumption and government spending but early signs of an export recovery may help put growth on a firmer footing next year. The central bank is expected to keep monetary policy accommodative through 2017 as Southeast Asia’s second-largest economy confronts outflow pressures from higher U.S. interest rates, global trade policies and China’s slowdown. Exports posted their first annual growth in seven quarters in JulySeptember, but analysts said reduced consumer spending in the wake of mourning for King Bhumibol Adulyadej who died on Oct. 13, was likely to hurt fourth quarter GDP. “We think growth in Thailand will slow further in Q4. The passing of Thailand’s King will probably cause some disruption to economic activity in the short term,” Krystal Tan, Asia Economist at Capital Economics, said in a report. The economy grew a seasonally adjusted 0.6 percent in the third quarter from the second, the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) said on Monday. The pace slightly lagged the revised 0.7 percent in the second quarter, and

the 0.7 percent forecast in a Reuters poll. The army took power in May 2014 to end months of political unrest but the export-dependent economy has struggled to get on a strong growth path due to weak global demand, sluggish consumption and high household debt. From a year earlier, growth was 3.2 percent, down from 3.5 percent in the second quarter and against the poll’s median of 3.4 percent growth for July-September. Annual growth in household consumption slowed to 3.5 percent in July-September from 3.8 percent in the prior quarter, while public investment expanded at a slower rate of 6.3 percent and private investment contracted 0.5 percent. NESDB chief Porametee Vimolsiri told a news conference the fourth

quarter could slightly soften due to slower tourism and last year’s high base effect. The agency expects 3.2 percent GDP growth this year compared with 3.0-3.5 percent forecast previously, and said exports would be flat compared with a 1.9 percent decline earlier. On Monday, the agency cut its forecast for 2016 visitors again by half a million to 33 million. Last year, nearly 30 million came, a record. The NESDB predicted 2017 GDP would grow 3.0-4.0 percent and exports expand 2.4 percent. Last year’s growth was 2.8 percent. Thailand may also be hit by rising capital outflows as investors shift to dollar assets. Foreign investors have sold around a net 99.4 billion baht ($2.79 billion) of Thai bonds and stocks since Nov. 9. Tim Leelahaphan, economist at Maybank Kim Eng Securities, downplayed the effects of possibly more protectionist U.S. trade policies on the Thai economy. “Thailand’s balanced structure that’s domestic-oriented, will add buffers against anti-globalisation if things turn bad.”(rtr)

SURABAYA - National Police Chief Gen. Tito Karnavian has assured that the security situation in the country was fine and urged people not to react on the basis of rumors about a money rush in the capital Jakarta. Such rumors were being spread via the social media. “The money rush is a hoax. Those spreading such rumors want to destabilize the countrys economy to create chaos,” he told reporters after the National Dialogue at the Office of the Provincial Legislative Assembly (DPRD) of Surabaya, East Java, on Saturday (Nov 19). Asking people not to be influenced by the hoax, he disclosed that he had ordered the Cyber Crime Squad to track down and catch those who disseminated a rumor about a money rush. He assured that he can guarantee the security of the country in his capacity as the police chief. “I held a

meeting with the Indonesian Defense Forces (TNIs) commander on Friday to assure myself that the security situation in the country was quite good. Any demonstration is something normal,” he noted. Most importantly, the police chief urged the people not to be affected, especially by the money rush hoax. “We are not disclosing the identity of the culprits as they can then run away. Once they are arrested, we will definitely reveal it,” the police chief commented when reporters asked him who was behind the hoax. The national police chief also attended a health related social service event for residents in the Jenggolo square, Sidoarjo, East Java. At the national dialogue, the Chief of the National Police revealed his plan to form a special team to reduce any conflict potential. The team involved military, police, government agencies, and community leaders.(ant)

JAKARTA — A collision between a Vietnamese freighter and an Indonesian sailboat off Indonesia’s East Java province left three people dead and 12 others missing, Indonesia’s search and rescue agency said Sunday. The cargo ship MV Thaison 4 and the KM Mulya Sejati, which was carrying 27 people, collided before dawn Saturday off Tuban district, said the head of the local Disaster Mitigation Agency, Joko Loediyono. Media reports cited witnesses as saying the Indonesian boat capsized after being hit from behind by the freighter, which is now being moored in Lamongan town for investigation. The freighter, loaded with tapioca flour, was reportedly heading to Tanjung Perak seaport in East Java’s

capital, Surabaya. All of the victims were from the Indonesian boat, and 12 were rescued and rushed to a hospital for examination. On Sunday afternoon, rescuers discovered three bodies by the stern of the ship, said the National Search and Rescue Agency, known as BASARNAS. A search for the missing was underway with the help of the navy, which deployed two warships to join a helicopter from BASARNAS, Loediyono said. Sea accidents are common in Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelago nation, where boats are a popular and relatively cheap form of transportation.(ap)

Indonesia proposes 3 dead, 12 missing Vietnamese ship ASEAN Pacific Alliance as hits Indonesian boat alternative to TPP

LIMA - Indonesia has proposed a new cooperation forum of ASEAN-Pacific Alliance as an alternative to Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) the continuation of which is doubted with U.S. president elect Donald Trumps pledging protectionism. “If TPP failed to come to reality why not ASEAN and Pacific Alliance establish relations. It would be better than TPP,” Indonesian Vice President M Jusuf Kalla said on the sidelines of the summit meeting of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum here on Saturday. Pacific Alliance groups Mexico, Peru, Chile, and Colombia. Among the four countries Colombia is not APEC member. TPP was established by a number of Asia Pacific country, but not including Indonesia, although the country has expressed interest in joining it. TPP is a trade agreement among twelve of the Pacific Rim countries notably not including China. The finalized proposal was signed on 4 February 2016 in Auckland, New Zealand, concluding seven years of negotiations. It is currently awaiting ratification to enter into force. The 30 chapters of the agreement aim to “promote economic growth; support the creation and retention of jobs; enhance innovation, productivity and competitiveness; raise

living standards; reduce poverty in the signatories countries; and promote transparency, good governance, and enhanced labor and environmental protections.” The TPP contains measures to lower both non-tariff and tariff barriers to trade, and establish an investor-state dispute settlement mechanism. The TPP began as an expansion of the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (TPSEP or P4) signed by Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, and Singapore in 2005. Beginning in 2008, additional countries joined the discussion for a broader agreement: Australia, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, the United States, and Vietnam, bringing the total number of countries participating in the negotiations to twelve. Current trade agreements between participating countries, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, will be reduced to those provisions that do not conflict with the TPP or provide greater trade liberalization than the TPP.

The United States government considers the TPP a companion agreement to the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), a broadly similar agreement between the U.S. and the European Union. Now, however, doubt is growing about the continuation of TPP with the United States elected Trump as their leader. Trump has hinted disapproval for a number of international organizations including TPP. “All countries braced for the change in the U.S. leadership, but most countries still believed the United States would not change,” Kalla said. In the APEC summit, Kalla took part in the plenary session of APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC). Before the plenary session Indonesia, China, New Zealand and Brunei was given the responsibility for formulate program for strengthening small, micro and medium enterprises. In the APEC forum, Indonesia also proposed equal treatment of products like palm oil, rattan, coffee, and rubber with other trade commodities exempted from import duty. “The prices of farm products should not be too low to prevent wider spread of poverty,” Kalla said.(ant)

French politician Francois Fillon (L), member of the conservative Les Republicains political party, arrives at his campaign headquarters after partial results in the first round of the French centerright presidential primary election in Paris, France, November 20, 2016.

Fillon, surprise frontrunner in France’s presidential race

PARIS - France’s Francois Fillon, surprise frontrunner after Sunday’s conservative primary ballot on a contender for next year’s presidential election, could be the closest thing his country has to a true economic and social conservative. Behind his still-boyish looks and a mild, refined demeanour, the 62-year-old who has spent almost half of his life in politics wants to slash the cost of government - to a large extent by cutting public service jobs. An admirer of late British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher - not at all a popular figure in France - Fillon stood down big street protests in 2003 when he championed reforms extending the age at which people are entitled to retirement pension payments. Last week, when opinion polls ranked him as an outsider, his proposal of market-oriented reforms went beyond what his rivals preferred in a country where the dirigiste state remains, even on the centre-right, a staple - unlike conservative and liberal positions

in the United States or Britain. Having won over 44 percent of the first-round vote according to preliminary results, Fillon now enters a run-off next Sunday against Alain Juppe, who garnered less than 30 percent. A Sunday night opinion poll after the first round vote said Fillon would win that contest. Fillon, who loves driving racing cars at the famous Le Mans circuit near his political fiefdom in the west of France, was prime minister under president Nicolas Sarkozy from 2007 to 2012. His former boss, who lost the 2012 election to Socialist Francois Hollande and on Sunday saw his political comeback dissolve before his eyes as he came third - meaning eliminated - in the vote, once famously described Fillon as effec-

tively no more than a senior member of staff, calling him in French his “collaborateur”. That relationship was a two-way street though. With his hallmark hard line against government overspending, Fillon sought to distance himself from Sarkozy when an international debt crisis erupted in 2008, calling his own country “bankrupt”. That view has returned as the backbone of Fillon’s manifesto, which demands cost-cutting on a scale to which his rivals do not dare commit in a country with one of Europe’s highest public expenditure levels. Fillon says he will get rid of 500,000 public sector jobs in five years, a proposal dismissed as implausible by Sarkozy and Juppe. (rtr)

In weekend of deliberation, Mattis favored for Trump Pentagon chief BEDMINSTER - President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday assessed several more contenders for top U.S. posts including Chris Christie and Rudy Giuliani, as blunt-spoken retired Marine Corps General James Mattis emerged as a leading candidate for defense secretary. Trump held meetings at his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, with candidates for senior administration jobs after he takes office on Jan. 20. On Saturday, he conferred with Mattis and Mitt Romney, formerly a fierce Trump critic now under consideration for secretary of state. Summing up two days of talks as he said goodbye to retired U.S. Marines Corps General John Kelly on Sunday evening, Trump said he had made decisions on a couple of appointments. “We really had some great meetings, and you’ll be hearing about them soon.” Trump transition spokesman Sean Spicer said no decisions would be announced on Sunday night. Trump discussed the treasury secretary job with Jon Gray, a board member of the Blackstone Group, two sources familiar with their meeting said. A Trump transition team statement said their discussion included the U.S. economy, global capital markets and the world financial situation, as well as tax reform and long-term debt. The last person Trump escorted out of the clubhouse was Giuliani, the former New York mayor. Trump said earlier that Giuliani was a candidate for secretary of state “and other things.” The Trump team statement said Trump and Giuliani discussed “administration priorities” as well as “restoring America’s prominence in the world, ongoing national security issues and threats at various hotspots on a global basis.” Christie, the Republican governor of New Jersey, advised Trump during the presidential campaign but was dismissed as the head of his transition team. Asked by reporters before the meeting whether there was a place for Christie in his administration, Trump sidestepped the question but called him “a very talented man, great guy.” Trump met with billionaire investor Wilbur Ross, who he said was under consideration for commerce secretary. Asked whether he wanted the job, Ross told reporters: “Well, time will tell.” Trump also received Jonathan Gray, the global head of real estate at the Blackstone Group, who is being considered for Treasury secretary, according to a person briefed on the matter. The president-elect has already tapped three senior leaders of his national security and law enforcement teams, choosing U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions for attorney general, U.S. Representative Mike Pompeo as CIA director, and retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn as national security adviser.

Murray rules the world after humbling of Djokovic

Against a man who has so often been his nemesis, Britain’s golden boy Murray produced a relentless display to claim a ninth title of a year which included a second Wimbledon crown and Olympic gold in Rio. Murray’s play in the winnertakes-all season climax was all the more remarkable as a day earlier he looked on the point of mental and physical exhaustion after taking almost four hours to subdue Milos Raonic in the semi-final. It would have been blow to Murray’s solar plexus if, two weeks after dislodging Djokovic from the top ranking, the Serb had ripped it back with a fifth consecutive Tour Finals title. But his powers of recovery appear limitless as he handed an error-prone Djokovic a bitter defeat that will leave a sour taste in the 12-times major champion’s mouth as a new season swings into action in a few weeks. On this evidence the Scot may enjoy his new status for some time. Murray double-faulted twice

in the first game and there was a wobble near the end as Djokovic mounted some late resistance, but with the majority of the 17,000 fans in the O2 Arena willing him on, Murray completed the job. “It’s very special playing against Novak in a match like this, we’ve played grand slam finals and at the Olympics before, but I am very happy to win and to be world number one is very special. It is something I never expected,” Murray said. Murray’s win came two days after older brother Jamie was crowned number one doubles pair with Brazil’s Bruno Soares and a year since Dunblane’s finest led Britain to the Davis Cup title. Djokovic had won 22 of his past 23 matches at the Thames-side venue, but the cracks that have appeared in his game since completing a career slam by beating Murray in the French Open final returned after a trouble-free route to the final. He made 30 unforced errors and some of his mistakes would have embellished a video nasty.

Despite his year tailing off, however, and losing a 9,000-point ranking lead over Murray, Djokovic still won seven titles and finally ruled at Roland Garros. He was gracious in defeat. “Definitely he is the number one in the world. He is the best player and deserved to win. He played the better tennis in the decisive moments. Credit to Andy for being mentally tough.” Sunday’s clash hardly needed hyping. The world’s two dominant forces colliding on a spectacular indoor court to contest the last match of the ATP season with the number one ranking to be decided. It had never happened before in the tournament’s history. The fear was that the 10 hours Murray had spent on court this week, compared to Djokovic’s six and a half, would catch up with him and snap a career-best winning run of 23 matches. Despite some early nerves Murray quickly put those fears to bed, dictating the rallies with unerring length and precision. Djokovic looked inhibited and hesitant. It took him 10 minutes to hold serve at 2-3 -- a game in which he blazed one smash wildly wide from virtually over the net. Murray was at Djokovic’s throat again at 3-4 and Djokovic buck-

The final threatened to become a humiliation for Djokovic as Murray steamed into a 4-1 lead in the second set. He gave himself a flicker of hope with a break and a hold though, and the crowd quietened a little as Djokovic began swinging dangerously, winning one hypnotic

33-stroke rally before Murray dug his heels in to lead 5-3. Two match point came and went at 5-4 but Murray’s coronation as the world’s best player could begin when Djokovic floated a return wide on the third. The doubles title was won by Australian John Peers and Finland’s Henri Kontinen who beat Raven Klaasen and Rajeev Ram. (rtr)

SINGAPORE - Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has cast doubt over the future of the sport in Southeast Asia by telling a German magazine that Singapore no longer wants to host a grand prix after its current deal expires next year. With neighbouring Malaysia also considering pulling out of the championship after 2018 because of declining ticket sales and TV viewership, the region could be left without a race for the first time since 1998. The Singapore race costs some S$150 million ($105.04 million) to put on every year, 60 percent of which is funded by the government. It was first staged in 2008 and the city-state renewed its contract for another five years in 2012. Ecclestone’s blunt comments in Auto Motor und Sport, however, suggested negotiations over a further extension have not gone well. “Look at what we have done for Singapore,” Ecclestone said. “Yes, the grand prix has cost Singapore a lot of money, but we’ve also given them a lot REUTERS/Edgar Su/File Photo of money. Part of the illuminated circuit is seen during the third practice session of the Singapore “Singapore was suddenly more than F1 Grand Prix at the Marina Bay circuit September 25, 2010. just an airport to fly to or from some-

where. Now they believe they have reached their goal and they do not want a grand prix anymore.” The event is organised in the city-state by Singapore GP, a private company owned by Ong Beng Seng, one of Singapore’s richest men. A spokeswoman for the company said in an e-mail on Monday: “We don’t comment on ongoing commercial negotiations.” Ecclestone, 86, is famous for outspoken media interviews during negotiations. The Briton attended this year’s Singapore race amid negotiations on F1’s takeover by U.S. cable TV mogul John Malone’s Liberty Media. Formula One announced a recordequalling 21-race provisional calendar for 2017 in September. The Singapore race is one of the glamour rounds of the championship, taking place at night on a street circuit with spectators entertained by internationally renowned music acts such as Beyonce and Justin Bieber. Crowds, which topped 100,000 on all three days in the first year, have declined, however, with this year’s race averaging 73,000 spectators for each day, down from 87,000 in 2015. (rtr)

Sp rt Chelsea predator Costa punishes lapse in concentration Chelsea manager Antonio Conte found himself earlier this season - his first in charge - being asked most weeks about controlling Spain international Diego Costa’s volatile temperament. Now the forward’s scoring and all-round contribution is a more regular topic of conversation after 10 goals and three assists have helped fired them to the top of the Premier League. “Diego is playing good football, with the ball and without it,” Conte said after Sunday’s 1-0 away win over a lightweight Middlesbrough. “He’s a fantastic striker and is showing this.” The margin was closer than most of ‘Boro’s vain attempts at avoiding defeat against Chelsea over the past 10 years but, as their manager Aitor Karanka ruefully acknowledged, leaving the livewire Costa free for a second can be fatal. That was what happened shortly before halftime when four defenders looked like figures in a spot-the-ball competition as the league’s top scorer nipped in amongst them and volleyed the decisive goal. “We knew it was going to be hard but we are in the Premier League and one mistake gets you punished,” Karanka told Sky Sports after the home team’s seventh straight loss to Chelsea in all competitions without scoring a single goal. “Diego Costa is one of the top scorers in the world. Before the game I said to my players you can’t lose him for one second and they lost him,” said Karanka. CLOSELY GUARDED

Costa was more closely guarded

early in the second half but still managed to head down David Luiz’s long cross for Pedro to drive the ball against the crossbar. Had that gone in, Chelsea’s manic touchline martinet Conte could have relaxed a little. Instead, he was concerned that his team might concede their first goal in six league games and throw away two points. “When you create many chances, it’s important to score and then you can arrive at the end without (being) afraid,” he said. “But this is the sixth game in a row we don’t concede, which is good news.” With no more international breaks to interrupt their rhythm for several months, both clubs can concentrate fully on their respective ends of the table. “We have five days after a day off to prepare for a tough game against a strong team like Tottenham,” Conte said of Saturday’s London derby. Middlesbrough, joint lowest scorers with 10 goals - the same as Costa - in 12 league games, visit champions Leicester City next knowing they must add firepower to the resolute defensive work which recently earned draws at Arsenal and Manchester City.(rtr)

Inter rescues 2-2 draw at AC Milan with last-gasp equalizer

MILAN — Ivan Perisic scored an equalizer in stoppage time to rescue a point for Inter Milan in an entertaining 2-2 derby draw against city rival AC Milan on Sunday. Suso had scored twice for Milan, which looked set to move to second place in Serie A before Perisic’s last-gasp strike. Antonio Candreva netted Inter’s other goal. Milan remained third, behind Roma on goal difference, and seven points behind league leader Juventus, which beat Pescara 3-0 on Saturday. Inter moved ninth. “It’s disappointing to concede in the last second, but the lads should be happy for what they did tonight,” Milan coach Vincenzo Montella said. “They might have a little trouble sleeping but they shouldn’t. Seeing our opponents, a team which is built to win the title, leaving the pitch as if they’d won the game gives us a little bit of satisfaction.” This was likely to be Silvio Berlusconi’s final derby as Milan’s owner and the Rossoneri fans paid tribute in their pre-match choreography, unveiling a giant ban-

ner with a picture of him and all the trophies won during his tenure. Berlusconi, who purchased the club 30 years ago, is expected to close a deal next month that will see his majority stake go to a group of Chinese investors that includes a Chinese state investment fund. It was also a first derby for Inter’s new Chinese owners, as well as Stefano Pioli’s debut as the team’s coach after replacing the sacked Frank de Boer just before the international break. “I saw a lot of positive things, definitely the attitude, the desire, the determination, the character,” Pioli said. “There are good foundations on which to build something important. “We played more, we created more, we shot more. But we need to be more clinical. If we’d put away our chances, it could have finished differently.” Inter had lost six of its past 10 matches in all competitions but started the brighter and had several chances to take the lead. Milan broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute after a breakaway. A

long throw from teenage goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma found Giacomo Bonaventura, who sprinted forward and picked out Suso, with the Spaniard curling his shot into the bottom left corner. Candreva leveled in controversial circumstances in the 53rd with a stunning strike into the top right corner. Milan players surrounded the referee in protest, saying they should have been awarded a free kick when Inter was given the throw-in that led to the goal. However, the smoke from flares lit by celebrating Inter fans hadn’t cleared when Suso restored Milan’s lead. The forward collected Carlos Bacca’s pass and befuddled Inter defender Miranda before firing across into the bottom left corner. Inter could have leveled sooner, but Perisic volleyed narrowly wide while Mauro Icardi scuffed an effort from a great position, with only Donnarumma to beat. It found the equalizer in the final seconds as Jeison Murillo headed on a corner and Perisic tapped it in at the far post.(ap)

Sevilla’s wild-eyed, excitable Jorge Sampaoli faces Juventus’ phlegmatic Massimiliano Allegri in a fascinating clash of coaching styles in the Champions League on Tuesday. Both sides are unbeaten in Group H and seem set to qualify though Sevilla, on 10 points from four games, need a draw and visitors Juve, on eight, a win to guarantee a last-16 place. Should Sevilla go through to the knockout stage, it will mean they won’t be able to defend the Europa League title which they have won for the last three seasons. Sampaoli has already brought a breath of fresh air to La Liga, where his side have climbed into third place and beaten Atletico Madrid along the way. Saturday’s 3-2 win at Deportivo La Coruna, where they scored twice in the last five minutes, was fairly typical of their style which is not for the faint-hearted The shaven-headed Argentine, noted for his exuberant celebrations,

turned Chile into one of the most entertaining teams at the World Cup two years ago and made history last year when he led them to their first Copa America title. Sampaoli likes his team to play with a fast and furious style, sweeping forward in relentless waves with seven or eight players joining the attack. Defending has sometimes been an afterthought, although he has given Sevilla some added steel at the back and they have yet to concede a goal in the group.

the drain,” he said. Unlike Sampaoli, Allegri is established in European football having won a Serie A title with AC Milan and two at Juventus, who he led to the Champions League final two seasons ago. Sampaoli could claim to be the moral victor after a 0-0 draw in Turin in the teams’ opening group meeting in September. This time, the onus will be on Spaniards, as Allegri has pointed out. Juve meet Dinamo Zagreb, who are without a point, in their final group game and can bank on getting the win they will still need if they lose on Tuesday. Sevilla, on the other hand, face a much tougher final game at Lyon. “I believe that the match (on Tuesday) is more important for Sevilla than for ourselves,” said Allegri. “If we don’t beat Dinamo Zagreb at home in our final group game, then we don’t deserve to be in the Champions League.”(rtr)

Sevilla v Juve offers intriguing clash of coaching styles

Chelsea’s Diego Costa celebrates scoring their first goal

BUENOS AIRES - Rosario Central forward Teo Gutierrez sparked a brawl which led to himself and an opponent being sent off during his side’s match at Boca Juniors in the Argentine league. The Colombia forward scored in the 20th minute of Sunday’s match and went to celebrate in front of Boca supporters by drawing an imaginary diagonal stripe across his shirt. Gutierrez used to play for Boca’s arch-rivals River Plate and the gesture was a clear reference his former club’s white

shirts with red diagonal stripe. Furious Boca players surrounded Gutierrez, pushed and shoved him and knocked him to the ground. Rosario players then leapt to his defence, causing a brawl which lasted several minutes before Gutierrez and Boca’s Ricardo Centurion were both sent off. There was another scuffle as the pair left the pitch before Gutierrez made another provocative gesture by holding his nose. It was a reminder of the late River playmaker and coach

Angel Labruna who would walk onto the pitch at La Bombonera holding his nose during the days when the surrounding area used to be prone to flooding which caused the sewers to overflow. Boca coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto said his players should have got on with the game, which ended 1-1. “Everyone knew that he was going to be sent off, so if we hadn’t reacted like that, it would have been 11 against 10,” he said. “We have to be above that sort of thing. We can’t make those mistakes.”(rtr)

NO RISKS

Juve’s Allegri also likes his team to dominate possession but he is averse to risk-taking and often talks of the importance of “administering the match”. He admonished his side after this month’s 1-1 draw at home to Olympique Lyonnais for chasing the game in the last few minutes and leaving themselves dangerously exposed. “We could have thrown our qualification down
