Alec Baldwin passionate about green energy Associated Press
NEW YORK — Alec Baldwin says he is passionate about green energy and is hoping next week’s U.N. climate summit brings home to Americans that the United States has fallen behind other countries in promoting wind and solar power. The Emmy award-winning actor who has appeared on film, stage and television spoke at a reception Thursday night to celebrate the launch of a book entitled “Addressing Climate Change” featuring the work of award-winning English photographer Henry Dallal, who has often photographed Queen Elizabeth II. Its contributors include U.N.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and U.N. climate chief Christiana Figueres, who attended the launch. “We’ve been talking about this for 25 years,” Baldwin told The Associated Press. “We need to learn the lessons that other people are learning — no nukes, less coal ... reduce, reduce, not eliminate.” He singled out Germany’s increasing use of solar and wind power. The reception was hosted by Peter Brown, the onetime manager of the Beatles who is now chairman and CEO of BLJ Worldwide, a global public relations firm. Baldwin made clear his opposition to fracking, which involves injecting water, sand

LOS ANGELES - Science-fiction action film “The Maze Runner” weaved its way to the top of the North American box office this weekend, earning $32.5 million on its debut, industry estimates showed Sunday. The Fox production, based on James Dashner’s best-selling 2007 young adult novel of the same name, is the latest studio offering depicting teenagers struggling for survival in a dystopian future society. Like the blockbuster “Hunger Games” films, “The Maze Runner”, which stars Dylan O’Brien as a teenager trying to escape from a complex labyrinth, is part of a trilogy. The Hollywood Reporter reported on Sunday that a 2015 date for a second film in the series had already been set following the movie’s successful open-
ing weekend. In second place was another new release, the Liam Neeson crime drama “A Walk Among the Tombstones,” which took in $13.1 million according to box office tracker Exhibitor Relations. The movie, based on US crime writer Lawrence Block’s book of the same name, features “Taken” star Neeson as a former New York detective who is hired by a drug dealer to track down his wife’s murderer. Another debut movie adapted from a book was in third, the comedy-drama
“This Is Where I Leave You,” with $11.9 million. The film, based on Jonathan Tropper’s 2009 book and starring an ensemble cast including Jason Bateman and Tina Fey, tells the story of four siblings who reunite at their childhood home after the death of their father. In fourth place was “No Good Deed,” the thriller starring Idris Elba about a devoted wife and mother of two who innocently helps out a charming but dangerous escaped convict with devastating consequences. The film, which has been hit with a slew of negative reviews, earned $10.2 million in its second week on release. Falling to fifth was “Dolphin Tale 2,” a family-friendly sequel starring Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd, with $9 million.

Baldwin said he can’t attend the climate summit Ban is hosting next day because he will be flying to London that day to start filming “Mission Impossible Part 5” with Tom Cruise, where he will be playing the director of the CIA. “Me the director of the CIA?,” he asked. “I think it’s perfect!”

Civet coffee agrotourism favored by travelers Bali Post
BANGLI - Landih village denoting the result of fission of Pengotan village has now become one of the villages visited by many travelers. Farmers at this village can produce high quality coffee and it is developed into an agrotourism area. This agrotourism concept emerged after many travelers came to witness the civets eating coffee at the village. Agrotourism at Landih village was established in an area of two hectares at the village. According to the former headman of Landih, Wayan Jamin, the civet coffee agrotourism had been developed since the year 2000. “Actually, the area was not drafted for the agrotourism concept. However, it was developed to convince the buyers that the civet coffee produced is really genuine. Along the passage of time, it was developed into an agrotourism,” said Jamin. Management of the Landih agrotourism was handled by the Bale Dana Mesari Cooperative. Civet coffee of the Landih village was highly demanded by many consumers because it was a genuine product. Dozens of civets consuming the coffee beans belonged to wild civet. Those civets were not impounded. According to Jamin, the processing of civet coffee by impounded civet and wild civet was different. With the impounded civet, after being given coffee beans, farmers would take the coffee on the following day and cleaned up the coffee bean. The Landih civet coffee eaten by wild civets also had many advantages. From the recognition of some coffee lovers, the Landih civet coffee was considered to have efficacy to cure diabetes, breast cancer as well as to return the stamina. Sugar level for diabetes could reduce within a period of six months. The result was obtained when users constantly consumed the Landih civet coffee. “Toddlers experiencing seizures will also recover when they are given the Landih civet coffee,” said Jamin who is now becoming a legislator in the Bangli House. So far, the Landih agrotourism had at least 50 wild civets. Due to its distinctive flavor, not a few coffee lovers made the Landih civet coffee a souvenir. In addition to growing coffee, in the area of the agrotourism visitors could also see tangerine and a variety of rare plants used for ritual needs. With the superiority of civet coffee production, it is appropriate to make the Landih agrotourism an alternative tourist destination for those loving the farm. With admission fee at only IDR 50,000, visitors can have the opportunity to taste a variety of fresh fruits in place. One of the visitors, Roslin, admitted that she was very interested in the arrangement of the Landih civet coffee agrotourism. Other than being offered at reasonable price, the view presented was not less beautiful than the one offered by other places. After getting tired of walking, visitors could taste fresh fruits and typical civet coffee naturally processed in the stomach of wild civets. (ina/kmb)
