Game of Pokemon Go
Prone to information spying and accidents
NEW YORK — In the opening moments of the documentary “Gleason,” the celebrated New Orleans Saints safety Steve Gleason talks to the camera with a not-yet-occupied crib behind him. He has just learned that he has ALS. Soon the symptoms will take over. Preparing for what’s coming, Gleason tells his unborn son that he wants to give him “as much of myself as I possibly can while I still can.”
What follows is a father-son tale of staggering spirit, both tragic and awe-inspiring. With overwhelming intimacy, “Gleason” follows Steve (diagnosed at age 34) and his wife, Michel, into the maelstrom of ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, as the couple adjusts to their fluctuating reality and makes way for their son, Rivers. “Ultimately, if the audience walks away from this film with anything, my hope is they understand that in the midst of our adversity, we will find our greatest opportunities,” Gleason, who now communicates through a machine he operates with his eyes, said by email. “Everyone faces tragedy and adversity, but most often, that is where we find our power and meaning.” “Gleason,” which has already soaked all the Kleenex along the festival circuit, is a mixture of video journals Gleason shot for his son while he still had the power of speech, and documentary footage. His body disintegrates heartbreakingly fast, just as he, undaunted, embarks on a new mission to raise attention for ALS. Edited together from 1,300 hours of footage by director Clay Tweel, “Gleason” is a family portrait that doesn’t shy away from the disease’s day-to-day hardships, the Gleasons’ naked emotions or even Rivers’ birth. “This is purely just raw, real emotion,” says Michel Varisco Gleason, speaking by phone. “It’s crazy that it’s out there, but it is.” The film packs such a wallop partly because the Gleasons are themselves so unsentimental. They’re free spirits and adventurers, more likely to use a new

RECENTLY the game of Pokemon Go draws public attention, including the Commander of the 163/Wira Satya Military Resort, I Nyoman Cantiasa. He reminded and appealed to the public to be more careful and cautious in playing the Pokemon Go. There have been a lot of reports from various parts of the world telling about the impact of the adventurous game ending in accidents and claiming casualties, both the gamers and the environment. Police authority in some countries like in the United States and Indonesia, according to him, has issued a warning to play the Pokemon Go carefully. The officials of the National Police and Indonesia Military have warned and checked the mobile phone of their personnel to immediately delete if they have the game. In addition, a number of hunters of Pokemon Go were reported to have gone to locations that should not be a place to play, like the incidents at some places where there are strangers getting into the military headquarters so that they cause insecurity. Pokemon Go is further development of the multi-player online game based on GPS, where the website is built based on the location including the remote point to be visited. “The most popular will become the location of the Pokestop and Gyms. It is according to Hanke, the inventor of the GPS-based online map application and forerunner of the Google Earth. Thus, it can be prone to strategic areas and agencies,” he said, Saturday (Jul. 23).

But both Steve and Michel acknowledge being nervous about releasing such an intimate film — “the inside of our life,” Michel calls it. “Honestly, I am not sure I will ever be completely comfortable with some of these intimate and raw moments being public,” says Gleason. “At the same time, I believe that our greatest strength as humans is to share our weakness and vulnerability with each other.” Gleason played for seven years in the NFL, where he was most famous for a cathartic, city-rallying punt block in the early minutes of the Saints’ first Superdome game after Hurricane Katrina. The team has supported Gleason. A statue of his play now sits outside the stadium, and Saints quarterback Drew Brees is a co-executive producer of the documentary. But there have been complications.(ap)

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan greets his supporters following the Friday prayers in Ankara, Turkey, July 22, 2016.
Turkish president gains upper hand in power struggle
ISTANBUL - At the crossroads between a divided Europe and a convulsed Middle East, Turkey is caught in a power struggle between former Islamist allies which is shaking democratic institutions and raises questions about its future path. Since a failed coup on July 15, the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) founded by President Tayyip Erdogan has gained the upper hand in its battle with clandestine networks in the military, judiciary and bureaucracy loyal to U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen. This fight to the bitter end has
alarmed the West and unsettled the country of 80 million, which borders the chaos in Iraq and Syria and is a Western ally against Islamic State. Erdogan accuses Gulen of masterminding the attempted coup by a faction within the military and has rounded up more than 60,000 people in an operation which he
hopes will cleanse Turkey of what he calls the Gulenist “virus”. The purges, carried out as Turkey faces attacks by Islamist State and a revived struggle with Kurdish militants, go beyond the more than 100 generals and 6,000 soldiers held, or the nearly 3,000 judges detained. They already encompass 21,000 teachers and much of the academic community, and new targets in a media already hit by years of firings and fines, jailings and closures. “They are traitors,” Erdogan told
Reuters in an interview on Thursday. He described Gulen’s network as “like a cancer” and said he would treat them like a “separatist terrorist organisation” and root them out, wherever they may be. Gulen, 75, denies plotting against the state and suggested the day after the abortive coup that it may have been staged to justify a crackdown on his followers. The millions of members of Gulen’s “Hizmet” (Service) movement do not outwardly identify as sup-
porters. Since the failed coup many are going even further underground, refusing to take calls or trying to leave the country.

COVER STORY Game...
From page 1
Colonel Cantiasa told that when serving as unit commander of Kopassus (Army Special Command) he once attended a seminar in Hawaii. In the seminar was revealed that mobile phone around the world can be observed from the signal emitted. Mobile phone signal of some countries is very clearly transmitted to a satellite. Indonesia is among the countries having the highest density of mobile phone. “A lot of mobile phone users show very bright signal. Nonbright signal means if the country has small amount of mobile phone users. Just pay attention, the habit of Indonesian people that may have a minimum of two or even more mobile phones. Marketing of mobile phone in Indonesia is extraordinary,” he said. On that account, the mindset of young generation should be directed to the right one and the development of technology should help accomplish people’s task rather than plunging them to injurious things. The users of Pokemon
Go have exceeded the daily use of Twitter. Results of the survey made by Monkey Intelligence indicate that nearly 21 million people in the USA play Pokemon Go every day. In Indonesia, the number of gamers continues to develop and the use of the game must be alerted because there are more vulnerabilities. He reminded and expressly prohibited the soldiers in the 163/ Wira Satya Military Resort from playing Pokemon Go during hours of duty and in the area or regional military installations and offices. Furthermore, the prohibition is not without a reason because the Pokemon Go game uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) whose form can be seen through the Android smartphone or iPhone with a technology called the Augmented Reality. This technology distinguishes the former Pokemon from the current Pokemon Go. All the players have to adventure in the real world to find out the expected Pokemon. Indirectly, the data of the area or military installations uploaded can be seen by others where they may

be abused in the short term or in the long term. “Probably the game producer does not mean like that, but I still prohibit from playing the Pokemon Go at the unit and military installations of the 163/Wira Satya Military Resort. This is as a manifestation of our anticipation against the regional defense and security in harmony with the development of technology outside. We must remain vigilant and not to be unmindful at any second against things that can endanger the regional security or country,” he said. He added that the instruction related to the prohibition from playing Pokemon Go is also based on the letter of the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform No. B/2555/ M.PANRB / 07/2016 dated July 20, 2016 on the Prohibition from Playing GPSBased Virtual Games in the Area of Government Agencies. Surely it is intended as a form of national vigilance and anticipation against potential vulnerability in the field of security and confidentiality of the government or military installations.
“Once again, I’d like to appeal to all the people, especially parents, to supervise their children who are playing Pokemon Go. Safety factor should become a major concern,” he pleaded. Bali Police along with the ranks have done the same. Its personnel are prohibited from playing the Pokemon Go especially during office hours. Moreover, the game can lead to danger, especially while driving a vehicle. Traffic accident may happen because the driver is focusing on the game. “Making a call or sending SMS are prohibited when driving and so is playing the game. We call on so that concentration must be directed to the road when driving to avoid accidents,” said Spokesman of Bali Police, Anak Agung Made Sudana. This former deputy director of Bali Police Traffic Affairs urged the public, especially road users, to comply with traffic rules. When violating, in addition to harming themselves they can also harm others. “Now, we often encounter motorists using mobile phone, whereas it is dangerous. The rules must be
complied with for the sake of our safety on the road,” he said. He hoped the personnel of Bali Police and their ranks not to chime in like that, but should be an example or role model. Similarly, he hoped the police personnel and the ranks to provide the best services for the community. In addition, they must be able to protect the people. (rah)

Use of gadget makes eyes watery to hormone disorders
DENPASAR - The use of computer, tablet or mobile phone to play online games is now expanding. Apparently people cannot be separated from this kind of device in their daily life. Electronic device has been used from children, adults to the elderly for daily regular work, lessons at schools, education, data, everyday communication or games.

Many complaints or the risks are caused by the use of the device either having been reported or not as indicated by the result of research. Some of the complaints or risks are reported happen to eyestrain such as eye irritation, sore, watery eyes, glare, dizziness, difficulty of concentration, sleeplessness, minus or cylindrical eyes. Putu Budhiastra, an ophthalmologist at the Sanglah Hospital explained that radiation of computer or laptop or gadget screen can affect in short-term and long-term. The short-term one includes watery eyes and tiredness on the eyes. “Excessive works of the eyes before computer can potentially affect the productivity of the melatonin hormone within the body,” he said, Saturday (Jul. 23). Production of melatonin hormone reduces due to the presence of external stimuli, such as light and electromag-
netic fields. Light or electromagnetic field in high intensity and for a long time can reduce production of melatonin hormone and can potentially cause a variety of complaints, including headaches, dizziness, fatigue and insomnia. Besides, the exposure to radiation by computer or gadget may also cause asthenopia, where the pupil of the eyes reacts slowly to the light because of prolonged exposure to excessive light. In the meantime, the long-term effect of the exposure to radiation, either by laptop or other gadget, is cataract namely visual impairment caused by cloudiness in the lens of the eyes, so that the vision greatly decreases. “A research in China reports that there is a permanent visual impairment due to a damage to macula or eye blind spot due to frequent use of screen or mobile phone in dark room (lighting turnedoff),” he added.

Site with clues to fate of fabled Lost Colony may be saved
RALEIGH, N.C. — Clues to what became of North Carolina’s fabled Lost Colony could lie in a waterfront tract where developers once wanted to build thousands of condos — and now, one of those would-be developers is seeking millions of dollars to preserve the property. The effort to save the 1,000 acres in rural Bertie County is in an early stage. Even the environmental group that developer Michael Flannelly hopes will help hasn’t seen the property yet. But Flannelly said he’s optimistic that his vision will eventually become a reality. “I want to see the site preserved,” said Flannelly, who lives on a boat that’s usually docked in Norfolk, Virginia, or near his land in Bertie County. “I think it would make a fantastic place for people to come.” The mystery of the Lost Colony — England’s first settlement in
North America — has intrigued historians and the popular imagination for centuries. In 1587, 116 English settlers landed on Roanoke Island, led by explorer John White. He left them there when he sailed back to England that same year for more supplies. Delayed by war between England and Spain, he didn’t return until 1590 — and when he did, he discovered the entire colony had simply vanished. White knew the majority had planned to move “50 miles into the maine,” as he wrote, referring to the mainland. The only clues he found

about the fate of the other two dozen were the word “CROATOAN” carved into a post and “CRO” lettered on a tree trunk, leading historians to believe they moved south to live with American Indians on what’s now Hatteras Island. But some archaeologists now suspect that at least some of the Roanoke colonists found their way to the inland site south of the Chowan River bridge, roughly 50 miles from Roanoke. It first came to light in 2012, when researchers at the British Museum in London announced they had found a drawing of a fort that had been obscured under a patch on a map of Virginia and North Carolina drawn by White in the 1580s. The drawing placed the fort in an area of Bertie County where archaeologists had found colonialera English pottery and signs of a Native American village several years earlier during a dig that the state required before Flannelly and his partners could get permits for the subdivision that was never built. Archaeologists have since found further evidence on the tract, dubbed Site X, including bale seals used to verify cloth quality and 16th-century nails. Before the site can be preserved, Flannelly must buy out his former development partners. Flannelly estimates it will take $4 million to $5 million, along with a conservation group willing to help raise the money and preserve the land. To any cynics who suspect Flannelly is doing this only for the money, he says he would get 8 percent of any sale, plus a tax credit. And the proposed buyout is far less than the $10 million Flannelly says the developers paid for the property. A spokesman for the company, Forest City, said in an email that officials know about the archaeological finds but have no other updates about the status of the property. Forest City no longer works in land development, spokesman Jeff Linton said. Flannelly said that when archaeologists uncovered the property’s historical significance, he insisted that those areas be cordoned off as green space and not developed. Flannelly personally owns 15 acres that include the possible Lost Colony site, but said he didn’t know about the artifacts when he chose that land for his own home. “They felt the same I did,” he said of the settlers. “That’s the best piece of property on the whole tract.” He has turned to North Carolina’s Coastal Land Trust, a nonprofit that has preserved more than 65,000 undeveloped acres in 31
counties since 1992. Lee Leidy, attorney and northeast regional director for the trust, said officials there hope to view the property later this month. “It’s fascinating,” she said. “It’s one that we’re very excited to take a look at and learn more about.” But raising funds to preserve the land presents a challenge, since limited conservation dollars must cover many projects, she said. “If it’s done properly, I think it could be tremendous,” said Arwin Smallwood, who wrote “Bertie County: An Eastern North Carolina History” and chairs the history department at N.C. A&T State University in Greensboro. “Right now in Bertie County, you can have a
true sense of history and what the landscape was like.” Tourists travel by the thousands to Dare County, home of the outdoor performance of “The Lost Colony” at an outdoor amphitheater on Roanoke Island. Now Bertie County residents have adopted the settlers as their own as well. More than 300 people attended the town of Windsor’s first Lost Colony Festival in April, said Billy Smithwick, the town fire chief and tourism manager. In addition, the county is acquiring 137 acres for a nearby park. “I think it would be quite a tourist attraction,” said Smithwick. “The Lost Colony is the greatest mystery in history that there is.” (ap)

Illegal monopoles rampant, district govt still inventories GIANYAR - Illegal monopoles (towers) are now appearing in numbers around Ubud. Ironically the installation was not accompanied with dissemination to local residents. As a result, a number of residents voiced their complaints and threatened to dismantle them. In the meantime, the BPPT Gianyar asserted that the agency has never issued any single permit for the monopoles in the subdistrict of the art. So far, a number of monopoles without permissions have been installed like at the SDN 2 Lodtunduh, SDN 3 Ubud elementary school, central intersection of Pangosekan, Nyuh Kuning Bridge Park and other locations. Existence of the monopole also sparked a friction in the community. Ironically village officials and traditional authorities do not know anything about it and they have been made a scapegoat. Chief of Lodtunduh customary village, I Made Karya, revealed that the installation of the monopole in the region has triggered unrest. It is said that the investor once requested to build monopole on the village meeting hall of Kalingkung, but residents rejected it. “Previously we have rejected the request, but it was suddenly established at the SDN 2 Lodtunduh at Abiansemal hamlet, Lodtunduh,” he said. People getting surprised by the presence of the monopole had made the chief of customary village
a scapegoat because he was alleged to have provided a permit. Responding to this accusation, Karya started a search, but no village officials know about it. “Having checked to the principal of the elementary school, he finally got the answer telling that the permission was issued by his superior,” he said. Chairman of Commission B of the Gianyar House of Representatives, I Wayan Gede Sudarta, admitted to have received about the complaints. From the initial search he got information there is a recommendation for a total of 50 points for the establishment of such similar tower. So far, he could ascertain that the monopoles have no construction permit. “More strangely, none of the 50 towers have a permit. In reality, all the towers have been established,” he said while surprising. In the meantime, the acting head of the BPPT, Wayan Sudamia, confirmed that his agency has not issued any single permit for the monopole construction. Besides, his agency cannot do anything because the governance is still inventorying the number of monopole having been established throughout Gianyar. “None of the monopoles have a permit. Currently, the governance is still inventorying because it is said there has been an MOU between the government of Gianyar in this regard the governance unit with private sector,” he explained.

Semarapura Market unkempt, Owners sell their kiosk as lacking of shoppers
SEMARAPURA - Current condition of Semarapura Market is extremely alarming. Dirty, stench of urine and unkempt condition has makes many buyers reluctant to shop at the market. This condition also makes a number of kiosks choose to close and even many owners sell their kiosk. It is evident from the number of the signs installed like FOR SALE on their rolling door. Actually, the government of Klungkung is just about to revive the market known as the art market.

Virtually all of the tens of kiosks on the second floor have been sold by the previous owners. A kiosk tenant on the second floor of the art market, Ida Bagus Arsa, said that since it was built in 1992, the kiosks on the second floor have been deserted of shoppers. As a result, many visitors are reluctant to go upstairs to shop. So, the merchants on the second floor gradually close their kiosk. Due to being deserted condition, the owners then sold their kiosks. Many papers carrying
FOR SALE are attached on rolling door. “To my knowledge, this building was indeed built by the government, but it was then sold and each owner has the certificate,” said the man from Cucukan village, Klungkung. Almost the entire kiosks on the second floor have been privately owned. In the meantime, conditions of the building on the second floor of the art market at the opposite of the Kertagosa looks very alarming. When going up to the second
floor, the stench of piss will pierce the nose. Many graffiti prohibiting people from urinating have been made on the pillars of the building. Due to being abandoned, the building on the second floor is in damaged condition. The floors have cracked and some iron rolling doors are also porous. Related to the condition of the market, the chief of Klungkung Market, Komang Widiasa Putra, revealed if the problem is the responsibility of the Klungkung Cooperatives, SMEs, Trade and Industry Agency. At the head of the Klungkung Cooperatives, SMEs, Trade and Industry Agency, Kusuma Jaya, said that he did not know anything about the matter.

The swimming pool was built with the fund of state budget from the Ministry of Education in 2009 and 2011 but until now remains dormant and is covered with shrubs and becoming mosquito breeding.
Abandoned, swimming pool in Kubu overgrown by shrubs IBP/kmb40
BANGLI - The existence of swimming pool in the area of Kubu education center, Bangli, denoting the asset of the government of Bangli, remains dormant. Even though the government of Bangli through the Education Agency had planned to make a regional bylaw to manage the swimming pool, until now the plan is never realized. It was built with the fund of state budget from the Ministry of Education in 2009 and 2011 but until now remains dormant and is covered with shrubs and becoming mosquito breeding. As field observation on Friday (Jul. 22), the swimming pool directly behind the SMPN 2 Bangli junior high school consists of two units of large enough size. Other than the swimming pool, there are also two changing rooms and toilet as well as two units of gazebo located in the south and north of the swimming pool. Unfortunately, though the condition of swimming pool and gazebo is physically strong and good, the swimming pool area looks very rundown and unkempt. Grass and wild bush seem to be left to sprout around the swimming pool and they even come in and spread into the building in the southern part of the swimming pool. Besides, the entrance gate having been locked with a padlock looks damaged and broken so that people can come into the area. When confirmed to the Chief of the Bangli Education Agency on Friday (Jul. 22), Nyoman Suteja, said that the abandonment of the swimming pool has been happening for a long time. He acknowledged that his agency previously planned to make a regional bylaw to manage the swimming pool. However, the plan cannot be realized for the time being because his agency is still making data collection on the

asset. “Currently we are making overall data collection on the asset. Legal instrument will be made after accomplishing the data collection,” he explained. Suteja said if the status of the swimming pool asset has been clear, his agency will use it optimally. Utilization can be intended for general public or for training. “Asset documentation becomes the reference to create a legal instrument in the form of legislation or anything else. If the object is not clear, it can even be complicated so that we will work improperly,” he said. As reported all this time, management of the swimming pool lies in the hands of the Bangli Education Agency originally denoting a part of the infrastructure for the international kindergarten and elementary school having been renamed into SDN 4 Kubu elementary school. Prior to submission to the government of Bangli, the swimming pool was only used by the SDN 4 Kubu. However, the utilization could only last for short time. After being submitted to the Education Agency, it apparently could not manage it. It happened because managing the facilities needs high operating cost. Besides, the Education Agency has no legal instrument to manage the facilities. (kmb40)

MUNICH — The 18-year-old gunman who opened fire at a crowded Munich shopping mall and fast-food restaurant, killing nine people and wounding 16 others before killing himself, was obsessed with mass shootings, police said Saturday. Investigators searched the unnamed German-Iranian man’s home overnight and found a considerable amount of literature about mass killings, including a book titled “Rampage in Head: Why Students Kill,” but no evidence that he was linked to extremist groups such as the Islamic State. They believe he acted alone. “Documents were found about mass shootings,” Munich’s police chief Hubertus Andrae told reporters. “The perpetrator was obviously obsessed with the issue.” Robert Heimberger, the head of Bavaria’s criminal police, said it appeared the shooter had hacked a Facebook account and sent a message inviting people to come to the mall for a free giveaway. The posting, sent from a young woman’s account, urged people to come to the mall at 4 p.m. (1400 GMT), saying: “I’ll give you something if you want, but not too expensive.” “It appears it was prepared by the suspect and then sent out,” Heimberger said. The woman shortly after reported that her account had been hacked. Initial investigations suggest the Munich-born suspect had suffered from psychological problems and received treatment, but details were still being confirmed, said Munich prosecutor Thomas SteinkrausKoch. The attack in the Bavarian capi-
tal sparked a massive security operation as authorities — already on edge after the recent attacks in Wuerzburg and Nice, France — received witness reports of multiple shooters carrying rifles shortly before 6 p.m. (1600 GMT). Eight hours later police declared a “cautious all clear,” saying the suspect was among the 10 dead and that he had likely acted alone. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was due to chair a meeting of her government’s security Cabinet Saturday. At an address on Dachauer Strasse that was searched by police early Saturday, a neighbor described the suspect as “very quiet.” “He only ever said ‘hi’. His whole body language was of somebody who was very shy,” said Stephan, a coffee shop owner who would only give his first name. “He never came in to the cafe,” he added. “He was just a neighbor and took out the trash but never talked.” Some 2,300 police from across Germany and neighboring Austria were scrambled in response to the attack, which happened less than a week after a 17-year-old Afghan asylum-seeker wounded five people in an ax-and-knife rampage that started on a regional train near the Bavarian city of Wuerzburg. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the train attack, but authorities have said the teen —

Members of the public run away from the Olympia Einkaufszentrum mall, after a shooting, in Munich, Germany, Friday, July 22, 2016. A manhunt was underway Friday for a shooter or shooters who opened fire at a shopping mall in Munich, killing and wounding several people, a Munich police spokeswoman said. The city transit system shut down and police asked people to avoid public places. who was shot and killed by police — likely acted alone. The suspect’s body was found about 2 1/2 hours after the attack, which started shortly before 6 p.m. (1600 GMT) at a McDonald’s restaurant across the street from the mall. He was found with 9mm Glock pistol and at least 300 rounds of ammunition, police said. A cell-phone video posted online showed the person filming from a balcony engaging verbally with the suspect dressed in black standing on the rooftop of the mall parking structure. The shooter at one point yells, “I’m German,” to which the filmer responds, “You are a jerk,” and demands to know what he is up to. The shooter yells at him to stop filming, and shortly after begins shooting. Andrae said police believe the video is genuine. Police have asked anyone with video and photos to upload them directly to their website to aid the investigation. David Akhavan, a 37-year-old who from Tehran, Iran, who works
at the Shandiz Persian restaurant, described his anguish as he learned of the shooting. “I started to get texts from friends asking if I was safe,” he said. “Then, my thoughts were: please, don’t be a Muslim. Please don’t be Middle Eastern. Please don’t be Afghan. I don’t accept any of this violence.” Witnesses had reported seeing three men with firearms near the Olympia Einkaufszentrum mall, but Andrae said two other people who fled the area were investigated but had “nothing to do with the incident.” Local residents described the scene as the shooting unfolded. “I was standing on the balcony smoking a cigarette. Suddenly I heard shots,” said Ferdinand Bozorgzad, who lives in a high-rise building next to Olympic Shopping Center. “First I thought someone had thrown some firecrackers. I looked down at the McDonald*s and saw someone shooting into the crowd. Then I saw two people lying there. “ Franco Augustini, another local resident, said his daughter
hid in the shopping center during the attack. “Next to our flat was a woman who was full of blood,” Augustini said. “My wife had a bottle of water. Then we helped to wash her. It was horrible and made me speechless.” Andrae, the police chief, said seven of the victims were teenagers; a 20-year-old man and a 45year-old woman were also killed. All were residents of Munich, he said. Twenty-seven people were hospitalized, including four with gunshot wounds, said Andrae. He said the city was safe to visit and that the attack wasn’t linked in any way to the recent influx of asylum-seekers that has stirred a debate about immigration in Germany, Munich’s mayor, Dieter Reiter, declared a day of mourning for the victims of “this terrible act.” “These are difficult hours for Munich,” he said, adding that the city’s citizens had shown great solidarity toward each other. “Our city stands united,” he said.(ap)

BUSINESS G20 nations pledge to bolster defences against Brexit headwinds
CHENGDU - The world’s leading economies will do more to lift global growth and share the benefits more broadly, top policymakers said on Saturday as they sought to deal with fallout from Britain’s Brexit vote and counter dissatisfaction with globalisation. Finance ministers and central bankers from the Group of 20 nation are huddling in China’s southwestern city of Chengdu this weekend to discuss how to confront global challenges exacerbated by Britain’s decision to leave the European Union. The spectre of protectionism, highlighted by U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s “America First” rhetoric and talk of pulling out of trade agreements, also hangs over the meeting. “The recovery continues but remains weaker than desirable. Meanwhile, the benefits of growth need to be shared more broadly within countries to promote inclusiveness,” the G20 ministers said in a draft communique seen by Reuters on Saturday. The draft, which is subject to change before it is expected to be issued at the end of the meeting on Sunday afternoon, said Brexit added to uncertainty in the global economy but G20 members were “well positioned to proactively address the potential economic and financial consequences”. U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said it was important for G20 countries to boost shared growth using all policy tools, including monetary and fiscal policies as well as structural reforms, to boost efficiency. “This is a time when it is important for all of us to redouble our efforts to use all of the policy tools that we have to boost shared growth,” Lew told reporters. Chinese Finance Minister Lou Jiwei called for more coordination to promote sustainable growth, as fiscal and monetary tools were becoming less effective. “G20 countries should increase policy communication and coordination, form policy consensus

Indonesian govt sets investment target of Rp15 trillion in fisheries sector
JAKARTA - The Indonesian government has set a target of Rp15 trillion worth of investments in the fisheries and maritime sector this year. “We have a special investment plan for private investment. We hope the realized investment will reach Rp15 trillion,” the director of investment development of the directorate general of fisheries and maritime product competitiveness at the Fisheries and Maritime Affairs Ministry, Anang Noegroho, said in a press statement released on Saturday. He noted that the fisheries marketing and processing sector has attracted most investors. According to data from the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), the realized investment in the fisheries and maritime affairs has this year reached Rp10.3 trillion so far, he informed. As reported earlier, World Bank Managing Director Sri Mulyani will discuss investment in the fisheries sector with Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti at a Southeast Asian and Pacific regional fisheries meeting in Jakarta next week. The meeting which will also be attended by director general of the Thai fisheries department, Adisorn Promthep, and Malaysian minister of Agriculture and Agricultural-based Industry, Ahmad Shabery Cheek, will discuss fisheries reforms in Southeast Asia and the Pacific.

BREXIT The G20 meeting was the first of its kind since the Brexit vote and a debut for Britain’s new finance minister, Philip Hammond, who faced questions about how quickly the UK planned to move ahead with formal negotiations to leave the EU. Many countries are worried that a long delay could add to uncertainties that are dragging on the world economy. The International Monetary Fund this week cut its global growth forecasts because of the
Brexit vote. Data on Friday seemed to bear out fears, with a British business activity index posting its biggest drop in its 20-year history. “I hope that there is going to be clarification about the timing and process of the divorce. The sooner the better so this generates a new equilibrium,” Italian Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan told Reuters. French Finance Minister Michel Sapin said even though Britain was not prepared for Brexit, its response time should not be indefinite. And German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said it should not fall to other countries to spend more to try to cushion the blow of Britain’s exit.
“I believe that is a matter that the Britons need to deal with themselves,” he said following talks with Hammond. CURRENCIES Lew, in a meeting with Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso, reiterated the need for G20 members to refrain from competitive devaluations, as had been agreed at a G20 meeting in February. Regarded as a safe haven at times of market turmoil, the yen strengthened to around 100 to the dollar after the Brexit vote in late June, much to the chagrin of Japanese officials, although it has since eased back to around 106 per dollar. Markets are speculating about a
further expansion of the Bank of Japan’s massive stimulus programme at a July 28-29 policy review, with the yen’s strength this year hitting exports and undermining efforts to escape deflation. Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said he would ease policy further if necessary to achieve its 2 percent inflation goal, but again shrugged off talk of the BOJ taking the radical policy step of “helicopter money”. “If it means that central banks are directly underwriting government bonds, or managing monetary and fiscal policies as one, that would be prohibited in Japan as well as other advanced economies, as lessons from history tell us,” he said.(rtr)

ANTARA/Tinombala Operations Task Force
The wife of terrorist Santoso, Jamiatun alias Umi Delima, surrender in Poso, Central Sulawesi, on Saturday (July 23, 2016). The Tinombala Operations Task Force shot dead Santoso in a gunfight on Monday (July 18, 2016).
examination. After a few minutes, a woman wearing a veil was taken in a wheel chair to a care unit. There has been no official statement regarding the condition of the members of the Santoso-led group, but it is believed that Jamiatun will be treated for physical and psychological recovery before being interrogated. It was reported that she was weak because she had not eaten for days. Jamiatun (22) was caught by the Tinombala Operation task force while conducting a sweep around Tambarana river in the Poso Pesisir Utara sub-district at around 8.30 am on Saturday. Santoso, one of the most wanted terrorist leaders in Indonesia, was eliminated in a gun battle by law enforcement officials on July 18, after he remained a fugitive-in-hiding for almost a decade in the remote forested mountainous area of Poso District, Central Sulawesi Province. Personnel from the Tinombala military operations task force were involved in a shootout with the Santoso-led Eastern Indonesian Mujahidin members, and managed to kill two men, while three others, including two women, escaped, to the Mt Tambarana area in Poso. “The three people, who escaped are suspected to be Basri, his wife, and Santosos
wife,” he added. Only 19 members of the Santoso-led armed Eastern Indonesian Mujahidin group now remain outside the reach of law. They include Jumiatun Muslim alias Atun alias Bunga alias Umi Delima, the wife of Santoso, Tini Susanti Kaduku alias Umi Fadel (Ali Kaloras wife) and Nurmi Usman alias Oma (Basris wife). With the seizure of Jamiatun their number has now dropped to 18. The chief of the Central Sulawesi Police Command, Brigadier General Rudy Sufahriadi has issued an order for the rest of the Santoso group members to surrender. “To surrender would be better,” he said in an order letter dated July 22, 2016. Brigadier General Rudy, who is in charge of the Tinombala Operation policy, called on them to surrender at the nearest police station or military post to account for what they had done. He also assured them that they would be treated humanely and with respect for their human rights, adding that they had better surrender rather than face arrest that could lead to harsh actions, adding that law enforcement authorities would pay attention to their families. Brigadier General Rudy also reiterated that the security agencies dont have a problem with them, but their actions. (ant)

Water levels are starting to recede in central and eastern China Thursday following a week of heavy downpours that have broken levees, flooded cities and villages, halted public transportation, and left at least hundreds people dead or missing.
Floods kill at least 154 across China, leave scores missing
BEIJING — Torrential rains that have swept through China have killed at least 154 people and left 124 missing, officials said Saturday, with most of the casualties reported from a northern province where villagers complained about lack of warning before a deadly flash flood. The rains, which began on Monday, have flooded streams, triggered landslides and destroyed homes across the country. Most of the fatalities were reported in the northern province of Hebei, where the provincial Department of Civil Affairs said 114 people were killed and 111 others were missing. More than 300,000 people were evacuated in Hebei, and the province made another round of appropriations of tents, blankets, rain boots and generators, the department said. In the Hebei city of Xingtai alone, 25 people were killed and another 13 were missing. The Xingtai village of Daxian was swamped by a flash flood early Wednesday as residents were asleep. Eight people, including three children, were killed and another was missing in the flood, according to the Xingtai government.
But the tragedy did not surface until Friday, when accounts, purportedly by local residents, began surfacing on Chinese social media of angry villagers blocking roads, accusing the local authorities of failing to notify them in time for evacuation when an upstream reservoir discharged the floodwaters. The online posts — accompanied by photos of drowned victims — also accused local officials of covering up the tragedy by lying about having no deaths in the area. State media later confirmed that a local official had said Wednesday afternoon that the flash flood caused no fatalities. Some of the accompanying photos showed images of apparently drowned children lying in mud, their bodies swollen and their skin pale. In another photo, local villagers and an official knelt before each other, with state media
reporting that the official was trying to console the grieving family members. Although removed from social media by Saturday morning — apparently by censors — the postings had already caused a national uproar, with members of the public demanding accountability from local authorities. Chinese journalists rushed to the village Friday night and reported on the disaster. In response, local authorities started to release casualty figures and offered explanations late Friday. Authorities blamed extraordinary rainfall and a failure of a river levee near the village for the sudden water surge. Local media reported that the river channel is particularly narrow near the village of Daxian and has been blocked by pipes from a heating utility, as well as mud. Qiu Wenshuang, a vice mayor of Xingtai, said Saturday that the flood was sudden and that the village was already flooded when officials arrived there to evacuate residents on Wednesday morning, according to state media reports.

Elderly women risk lives crushing rock for money in Cameroon
MAROUA — In a northern Cameroon town menaced by food insecurity and suicide bombers, women as old as 85 are spending long, grueling days crushing rocks into gravel to earn a living. The dangerous, sometimes fatal work often pays no more than $2 per day, but it has increasingly become the best option for women like Marie Nangatai, 73, who began laboring three years ago at one of dozens of rock-crushing sites in the mountains near Maroua, the capital of Cameroon’s Far North region. “My whole body hurts, we are working like animals. But there’s nothing we can do,” Nangatai said recently during a short break in her 12-hour workday, sitting under the hot sun. “You see all this gravel around me, when I call those who buy it they’ll give me 1,000 CFA francs (less than $2).” When she began reporting to gravel sites in 2013, northern Cameroon was reeling from four straight years of alternating droughts and floods that doomed crops and left families with little or no food reserves, according to the World Food Program. More recently, the region has been targeted by the Nigeria-based extremist group Boko Haram, which stepped up attacks in Cameroon last year in retaliation for the country’s contribution to a regional military force tasked with wiping out the group. Suicide bombers
have repeatedly targeted marketplaces and other high-traffic areas, adding insecurity to economic woes. One consequence of the dual crises has been an influx of women turning to rock-crushing to feed their families. Marthe Doumadate said that when she began the work in 2010, there were often no more than 10 people working alongside her. “When I first came there was no one here, I was alone with my mom and my little brothers,” she said. “Now I can say there are between 150 and 200 people here.” Though there are a few men, the majority of the workers are women who have either lost their husbands or receive no support from them. They have not been deterred by horror stories of women being maimed and killed by falling rubble. “Sometimes the earth falls down on us. There are already four women who have been killed here,” said Suzanne Djidja. Most women work without goggles, helmets or other protective gear to produce the gravel that is used in local home and road construction. Though they’d like the government to provide equipment, they have no plans to stop even if none arrives. “The women are poor. Our husbands don’t give us anything, so we are working hard like this,” Djidja said. “Even our husbands don’t see how hard we are working.” (ap)

Some followers are dumping books in the woods and publishers are getting rid of their stocks, said Nedim Sener, an investigative journalist at Posta newspaper who wrote a book on the Gulen movement’s efforts to infiltrate the state and was jailed in 2011 for more than a year. A senior journalist at a Gulenaffiliated newspaper, speaking on condition of anonymity because he feared reprisals, said he and other editors were afraid to go to the paper’s office in the days fol-
lowing the failed coup and that their printers refused to continue publishing. “I advised my colleagues not to go to the office for their own safety,” he said. “The newspaper has become a liability, it has just disappeared ... I’m afraid for my family and for my life. It’s dangerous to go outside.” Asked if he was a follower of Gulen’s teachings, he said: “Answering this question could now be used as evidence against me. Now I could be prosecuted for a book I keep at home ... Everyone is too afraid to call their friends, worried this will cause their detention. It’s a climate of fear everywhere.” (rtr)

LONDON - Former world BMX champion Liam Phillips sums up the brutal nature of his adrenaline-fuelled sport succinctly.
Action Images via Reuters / Carl Recine
Great Britain’s Liam Phillips poses during the media session.
“There are not really any rules on physicality,” the 27-year-old Briton, preparing for a third Olympic Games, says. “You can’t take your feet off the pedals and kick somebody but after that pretty much anything can happen.” For sheer intensity, thrills and spills, the BMX races on the rollercoaster-like Deodoro course at next month’s Rio Olympics will have no equal. When the starting gate goes down, riders will plunge eight metres down, pumping their pedals for rapid acceleration, then hanging on over the lumps and bumps. Medal hopes can vanish in the blink of an eye -- as Phillips knows all to well after crashing in the final in London four years ago having recovered from a broken collarbone just in time to take his place on the team. While BMX racing can look
chaotic, it is an extremely technical sport and the power produced by the world’s top riders is similar to that put down by track sprinters like Chris Hoy, Britain’s most successful Olympian. Phillips said the start is crucial. “You are basically eight metres up, lined up with seven other guys and then you go,” Phillips told Reuters. “It’s a bit like a 100m sprint but there are no lanes. It’s a fight to get to the first corner, then after that you can move to the best line and dictate a little bit. “After that it’s about staying as smooth as possible. “If you make a bad start, and I’m talking fractions of seconds out, you’re in trouble. Usain Bolt wouldn’t last long in BMX racing because he’s not the best starter -he would be cut off straight away.” (rtr)

NORTH CAROLINA - Rio-bound U.S. Olympian Sandi Morris soared to the highest outdoor pole vault in the world this year when she cleared 4.93 metres at Houston on Saturday. The mark, during an American Track League meeting, superseded Russian Yelena Isinbayeva’s clearance of 4.90 metres as the best outdoor mark for 2016. Only world outdoor record holder Isinbayeva and American Olympic champion Jenn Suhr have ever jumped higher, giving the U.S. a strong 1-2 punch for next month’s Olympics. Isinbayeva will miss the Games because of the Russian ban. “I’m crying you guys!! I just broke the American Record!” the 24-year-old Morris said on Twitter. USA Track & Field officials, however, said Morris, the world indoor silver medallist, would receive credit only for the best outdoor pole vault ever by an American since records in the event can be established both indoors or out. Suhr holds the American record of 5.02 metres set indoors in 2013 with a pending record of 5.03 metres from earlier this year indoors, the officials said. Morris’s indoor best is 4.95 metres, a mark she set in defeating Suhr for the 2016 U.S. indoor title. The previous outdoor best by an American was Suhr’s 4.92 metres from 2008. Isinbayeva’s world record, set in 2009, is 5.06 metres. (rtr)

New Sunderland manager David Moyes poses for selfie with a Sunderland fan
Sunderland appoint Moyes as Allardyce replacement
Sunderland appointed David Moyes as manager on Saturday, replacing Sam Allardyce who has taken charge of the England team. The 53-year-old Moyes, without a club since being sacked by Spain’s Real Sociedad in November, has signed a four-year contract at the Stadium of Light. “I am delighted to have joined Sunderland. I am relishing the challenge and excited by the opportunity,” Moyes said in a statement on Saturday. “I have taken over a big British club with great support and I’m looking forward to working in the Premier League again. I look forward to continuing the good work done by Sam.” The Scot’s last managerial job in England was his ill-fated spell in charge of Manchester United in 2013-14, following Alex Ferguson’s retirement. Moyes has also managed Preston North End, winning the third-tier crown with them, and Everton where
he spent more than 11 years. He is Sunderland’s fourth fulltime managerial appointment since Italian Paolo Di Canio was sacked in September 2013. The club have flirted with relegation in each of the last four seasons. Uruguayan Gus Poyet took over from caretaker manager Kevin Ball in October 2013 and guided the club to 14th place in the league. Poyet was dismissed in March 2015 with Sunderland one point above the relegation zone. The club appointed Dutchman Dick Advocaat who guided them to the safety of a 16th-placed finish with one game remaining. Advocaat
resigned in October 2015 with Sunderland second from bottom. Allardyce was appointed the same month and performed wonders to avoid the drop by ending up fourth from bottom. “We are absolutely delighted to welcome David Moyes who was by far and away our first choice,” Sunderland chairman Ellis Short said. “He is a man whose football pedigree speaks for itself and is someone I have long admired. “He was my number one managerial target for the last five appointments but his desire to honour existing contracts meant we were not able to bring him to Sunderland previously. “To be able to finally welcome him as our manager is fantastic news for the club,” added Short. Sunderland launch their new league campaign at Manchester City on Aug. 13. (rtr)
BUENOS AIRES - Diego Maradona’s Hand of God goal in 1986 is the stand-out incident in soccer clashes between Argentina and England but the one that sparked an intense rivalry was Antonio Rattin’s sending-off at Wembley 20 years earlier. Rattin, the Argentina captain, was infamously dismissed by German referee Rudolf Kreitlein after half an hour of an ill-tempered 1966 World Cup quarter-final for protesting. “I saw that all his decisions favoured England... corners, fouls, he even invented handballs,” said the 79-year-old, recalling the incident on its 50th anniversary on Saturday. “In view of that, I showed his my captain’s armband and for several minutes asked for an interpreter to ask for explanations,” Rattin told the Argentine daily La Nacion (www.canchallena.com). “I couldn’t believe it (when he sent me off),” Rattin added. “The dismissal was so unfair that in anger I sat on the red carpet of the Queen’s royal box. She wasn’t in the stadium.” Rattin eventually took the long walk round the touchline to the tunnel behind one of the goals and recalled he ate bits of chocolate
bars thrown at him by fans before throwing them back, wringing a British corner flag with his hand in anger and dodging beer cans. He watched the rest of the match which England won 1-0 on the way to the title through a small window in the changing rooms “with (a feeling of) total impotence”. England manager Alf Ramsey infamously called the Argentine players animals but Rattin, sent off that one time in his career, said: “I’d like to be taken back there. “I’d get off the plane, go and see the new Wembley, chat again with Bobby Charlton, go and see the Queen, who is still alive, and come back home.” The incident led to the introduction of red and yellow cards and started a fierce, sometimes violent, rivalry between two of the world’s leading football nations. The teams avoided each other at the next four World Cups, with one or the other failing to qualify and the luck of the draw in 1982 when the countries were at war over the Falkland (Malvinas) islands. Maradona punched in the opening goal with his fist to help Argentina beat England 2-1 in the 1986 Mexico City quarter-finals on the way to their second title. (rtr)

Arsenal to maintain transfer discipline - Gazidis
Arsenal will continue their focus on youth development and maintain a disciplined approach in the transfer market in order to compete with their bigger-spending rivals, chief executive Ivan Gazidis has said. Arsenal finished a distant second to champions Leicester City last season and some fans have grown frustrated with a lack of big-money signings. Over the past two years, Arsenal have signed marquee names such as Germany midfielder Mesut Ozil and Chile winger Alexis Sanchez, but they have still spent less than many of their rivals. In the current close-season, they have added Switzerland

We’re on the right track.” Arsenal begin their new campaign on Aug. 14 against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium. (rtr)

New Sunderland manager David Moyes poses for selfie with a Sunderland fan
Sunderland appoint Moyes as Allardyce replacement
Sunderland appointed David Moyes as manager on Saturday, replacing Sam Allardyce who has taken charge of the England team. The 53-year-old Moyes, without a club since being sacked by Spain’s Real Sociedad in November, has signed a four-year contract at the Stadium of Light. “I am delighted to have joined Sunderland. I am relishing the challenge and excited by the opportunity,” Moyes said in a statement on Saturday. “I have taken over a big British club with great support and I’m looking forward to working in the Premier League again. I look forward to continuing the good work done by Sam.” The Scot’s last managerial job in England was his ill-fated spell in charge of Manchester United in 2013-14, following Alex Ferguson’s retirement. Moyes has also managed Preston North End, winning the third-tier crown with them, and Everton where
he spent more than 11 years. He is Sunderland’s fourth fulltime managerial appointment since Italian Paolo Di Canio was sacked in September 2013. The club have flirted with relegation in each of the last four seasons. Uruguayan Gus Poyet took over from caretaker manager Kevin Ball in October 2013 and guided the club to 14th place in the league. Poyet was dismissed in March 2015 with Sunderland one point above the relegation zone. The club appointed Dutchman Dick Advocaat who guided them to the safety of a 16th-placed finish with one game remaining. Advocaat
resigned in October 2015 with Sunderland second from bottom. Allardyce was appointed the same month and performed wonders to avoid the drop by ending up fourth from bottom. “We are absolutely delighted to welcome David Moyes who was by far and away our first choice,” Sunderland chairman Ellis Short said. “He is a man whose football pedigree speaks for itself and is someone I have long admired. “He was my number one managerial target for the last five appointments but his desire to honour existing contracts meant we were not able to bring him to Sunderland previously. “To be able to finally welcome him as our manager is fantastic news for the club,” added Short. Sunderland launch their new league campaign at Manchester City on Aug. 13. (rtr)
BUENOS AIRES - Diego Maradona’s Hand of God goal in 1986 is the stand-out incident in soccer clashes between Argentina and England but the one that sparked an intense rivalry was Antonio Rattin’s sending-off at Wembley 20 years earlier. Rattin, the Argentina captain, was infamously dismissed by German referee Rudolf Kreitlein after half an hour of an ill-tempered 1966 World Cup quarter-final for protesting. “I saw that all his decisions favoured England... corners, fouls, he even invented handballs,” said the 79-year-old, recalling the incident on its 50th anniversary on Saturday. “In view of that, I showed his my captain’s armband and for several minutes asked for an interpreter to ask for explanations,” Rattin told the Argentine daily La Nacion (www.canchallena.com). “I couldn’t believe it (when he sent me off),” Rattin added. “The dismissal was so unfair that in anger I sat on the red carpet of the Queen’s royal box. She wasn’t in the stadium.” Rattin eventually took the long walk round the touchline to the tunnel behind one of the goals and recalled he ate bits of chocolate
bars thrown at him by fans before throwing them back, wringing a British corner flag with his hand in anger and dodging beer cans. He watched the rest of the match which England won 1-0 on the way to the title through a small window in the changing rooms “with (a feeling of) total impotence”. England manager Alf Ramsey infamously called the Argentine players animals but Rattin, sent off that one time in his career, said: “I’d like to be taken back there. “I’d get off the plane, go and see the new Wembley, chat again with Bobby Charlton, go and see the Queen, who is still alive, and come back home.” The incident led to the introduction of red and yellow cards and started a fierce, sometimes violent, rivalry between two of the world’s leading football nations. The teams avoided each other at the next four World Cups, with one or the other failing to qualify and the luck of the draw in 1982 when the countries were at war over the Falkland (Malvinas) islands. Maradona punched in the opening goal with his fist to help Argentina beat England 2-1 in the 1986 Mexico City quarter-finals on the way to their second title. (rtr)

Arsenal to maintain transfer discipline - Gazidis
Arsenal will continue their focus on youth development and maintain a disciplined approach in the transfer market in order to compete with their bigger-spending rivals, chief executive Ivan Gazidis has said.

LONDON - Former world BMX champion Liam Phillips sums up the brutal nature of his adrenaline-fuelled sport succinctly.
Action Images via Reuters / Carl Recine
Great Britain’s Liam Phillips poses during the media session.
“There are not really any rules on physicality,” the 27-year-old Briton, preparing for a third Olympic Games, says. “You can’t take your feet off the pedals and kick somebody but after that pretty much anything can happen.” For sheer intensity, thrills and spills, the BMX races on the rollercoaster-like Deodoro course at next month’s Rio Olympics will have no equal. When the starting gate goes down, riders will plunge eight metres down, pumping their pedals for rapid acceleration, then hanging on over the lumps and bumps. Medal hopes can vanish in the blink of an eye -- as Phillips knows all to well after crashing in the final in London four years ago having recovered from a broken collarbone just in time to take his place on the team. While BMX racing can look
chaotic, it is an extremely technical sport and the power produced by the world’s top riders is similar to that put down by track sprinters like Chris Hoy, Britain’s most successful Olympian. Phillips said the start is crucial. “You are basically eight metres up, lined up with seven other guys and then you go,” Phillips told Reuters. “It’s a bit like a 100m sprint but there are no lanes. It’s a fight to get to the first corner, then after that you can move to the best line and dictate a little bit. “After that it’s about staying as smooth as possible. “If you make a bad start, and I’m talking fractions of seconds out, you’re in trouble. Usain Bolt wouldn’t last long in BMX racing because he’s not the best starter -he would be cut off straight away.” (rtr)

NORTH CAROLINA - Rio-bound U.S. Olympian Sandi Morris soared to the highest outdoor pole vault in the world this year when she cleared 4.93 metres at Houston on Saturday. The mark, during an American Track League meeting, superseded Russian Yelena Isinbayeva’s clearance of 4.90 metres as the best outdoor mark for 2016. Only world outdoor record holder Isinbayeva and American Olympic champion Jenn Suhr have ever jumped higher, giving the U.S. a strong 1-2 punch for next month’s Olympics. Isinbayeva will miss the Games because of the Russian ban. “I’m crying you guys!! I just broke the American Record!” the 24-year-old Morris said on Twitter. USA Track & Field officials, however, said Morris, the world indoor silver medallist, would receive credit only for the best outdoor pole vault ever by an American since records in the event can be established both indoors or out. Suhr holds the American record of 5.02 metres set indoors in 2013 with a pending record of 5.03 metres from earlier this year indoors, the officials said. Morris’s indoor best is 4.95 metres, a mark she set in defeating Suhr for the 2016 U.S. indoor title. The previous outdoor best by an American was Suhr’s 4.92 metres from 2008. Isinbayeva’s world record, set in 2009, is 5.06 metres. (rtr)

In this Wednesday, July 6, 2016 photo, a couple holding an umbrella in a rain wade through a flooded road in Wuhan in central China’s Hubei province. Water levels are starting to recede in central and eastern China Thursday following a week of heavy downpours that have broken levees, flooded cities and villages, halted public transportation, and left at least hundreds people dead or missing.
Floods kill at least 154 across China, leave scores missing
BEIJING — Torrential rains that have swept through China have killed at least 154 people and left 124 missing, officials said Saturday, with most of the casualties reported from a northern province where villagers complained about lack of warning before a deadly flash flood. The rains, which began on Monday, have flooded streams, triggered landslides and destroyed homes across the country. Most of the fatalities were reported in the northern province of Hebei, where the provincial Department of Civil Affairs said 114 people were killed and 111 others were missing. More than 300,000 people were evacuated in Hebei, and the province made another round of appropriations of tents, blankets, rain boots and generators, the department said. In the Hebei city of Xingtai alone, 25 people were killed and another 13 were missing. The Xingtai village of Daxian was swamped by a flash flood early Wednesday as residents were asleep. Eight people, including three children, were killed and another was missing in the flood, according to the Xingtai government.
But the tragedy did not surface until Friday, when accounts, purportedly by local residents, began surfacing on Chinese social media of angry villagers blocking roads, accusing the local authorities of failing to notify them in time for evacuation when an upstream reservoir discharged the floodwaters. The online posts — accompanied by photos of drowned victims — also accused local officials of covering up the tragedy by lying about having no deaths in the area. State media later confirmed that a local official had said Wednesday afternoon that the flash flood caused no fatalities. Some of the accompanying photos showed images of apparently drowned children lying in mud, their bodies swollen and their skin pale. In another photo, local villagers and an official knelt before each other, with state media
reporting that the official was trying to console the grieving family members. Although removed from social media by Saturday morning — apparently by censors — the postings had already caused a national uproar, with members of the public demanding accountability from local authorities. Chinese journalists rushed to the village Friday night and reported on the disaster. In response, local authorities started to release casualty figures and offered explanations late Friday. Authorities blamed extraordinary rainfall and a failure of a river levee near the village for the sudden water surge. Local media reported that the river channel is particularly narrow near the village of Daxian and has been blocked by pipes from a heating utility, as well as mud. Qiu Wenshuang, a vice mayor of Xingtai, said Saturday that the flood was sudden and that the village was already flooded when officials arrived there to evacuate residents on Wednesday morning, according to state media reports.

Elderly women risk lives crushing rock for money in Cameroon
MAROUA — In a northern Cameroon town menaced by food insecurity and suicide bombers, women as old as 85 are spending long, grueling days crushing rocks into gravel to earn a living. The dangerous, sometimes fatal work often pays no more than $2 per day, but it has increasingly become the best option for women like Marie Nangatai, 73, who began laboring three years ago at one of dozens of rock-crushing sites in the mountains near Maroua, the capital of Cameroon’s Far North region. “My whole body hurts, we are working like animals. But there’s nothing we can do,” Nangatai said recently during a short break in her 12-hour workday, sitting under the hot sun. “You see all this gravel around me, when I call those who buy it they’ll give me 1,000 CFA francs (less than $2).” When she began reporting to gravel sites in 2013, northern Cameroon was reeling from four straight years of alternating droughts and floods that doomed crops and left families with little or no food reserves, according to the World Food Program. More recently, the region has been targeted by the Nigeria-based extremist group Boko Haram, which stepped up attacks in Cameroon last year in retaliation for the country’s contribution to a regional military force tasked with wiping out the group. Suicide bombers
have repeatedly targeted marketplaces and other high-traffic areas, adding insecurity to economic woes. One consequence of the dual crises has been an influx of women turning to rock-crushing to feed their families. Marthe Doumadate said that when she began the work in 2010, there were often no more than 10 people working alongside her. “When I first came there was no one here, I was alone with my mom and my little brothers,” she said. “Now I can say there are between 150 and 200 people here.” Though there are a few men, the majority of the workers are women who have either lost their husbands or receive no support from them. They have not been deterred by horror stories of women being maimed and killed by falling rubble. “Sometimes the earth falls down on us. There are already four women who have been killed here,” said Suzanne Djidja. Most women work without goggles, helmets or other protective gear to produce the gravel that is used in local home and road construction. Though they’d like the government to provide equipment, they have no plans to stop even if none arrives. “The women are poor. Our husbands don’t give us anything, so we are working hard like this,” Djidja said. “Even our husbands don’t see how hard we are working.” (ap)

Some followers are dumping books in the woods and publishers are getting rid of their stocks, said Nedim Sener, an investigative journalist at Posta newspaper who wrote a book on the Gulen movement’s efforts to infiltrate the state and was jailed in 2011 for more than a year. A senior journalist at a Gulenaffiliated newspaper, speaking on condition of anonymity because he feared reprisals, said he and other editors were afraid to go to the paper’s office in the days fol-
lowing the failed coup and that their printers refused to continue publishing. “I advised my colleagues not to go to the office for their own safety,” he said. “The newspaper has become a liability, it has just disappeared ... I’m afraid for my family and for my life. It’s dangerous to go outside.” Asked if he was a follower of Gulen’s teachings, he said: “Answering this question could now be used as evidence against me. Now I could be prosecuted for a book I keep at home ... Everyone is too afraid to call their friends, worried this will cause their detention. It’s a climate of fear everywhere.” (rtr)

BUSINESS G20 nations pledge to bolster defences against Brexit headwinds
CHENGDU - The world’s leading economies will do more to lift global growth and share the benefits more broadly, top policymakers said on Saturday as they sought to deal with fallout from Britain’s Brexit vote and counter dissatisfaction with globalisation. Finance ministers and central bankers from the Group of 20 nation are huddling in China’s southwestern city of Chengdu this weekend to discuss how to confront global challenges exacerbated by Britain’s decision to leave the European Union. The spectre of protectionism, highlighted by U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s “America First” rhetoric and talk of pulling out of trade agreements, also hangs over the meeting. “The recovery continues but remains weaker than desirable. Meanwhile, the benefits of growth need to be shared more broadly within countries to promote inclusiveness,” the G20 ministers said in a draft communique seen by Reuters on Saturday. The draft, which is subject to change before it is expected to be issued at the end of the meeting on Sunday afternoon, said Brexit added to uncertainty in the global economy but G20 members were “well positioned to proactively address the potential economic and financial consequences”. U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said it was important for G20 countries to boost shared growth using all policy tools, including monetary and fiscal policies as well as structural reforms, to boost efficiency. “This is a time when it is important for all of us to redouble our efforts to use all of the policy tools that we have to boost shared growth,” Lew told reporters. Chinese Finance Minister Lou Jiwei called for more coordination to promote sustainable growth, as fiscal and monetary tools were becoming less effective. “G20 countries should increase policy communication and coordination, form policy consensus

Indonesian govt sets investment target of Rp15 trillion in fisheries sector
JAKARTA - The Indonesian government has set a target of Rp15 trillion worth of investments in the fisheries and maritime sector this year. “We have a special investment plan for private investment. We hope the realized investment will reach Rp15 trillion,” the director of investment development of the directorate general of fisheries and maritime product competitiveness at the Fisheries and Maritime Affairs Ministry, Anang Noegroho, said in a press statement released on Saturday. He noted that the fisheries marketing and processing sector has attracted most investors. According to data from the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), the realized investment in the fisheries and maritime affairs has this year reached Rp10.3 trillion so far, he informed. As reported earlier, World Bank Managing Director Sri Mulyani will discuss investment in the fisheries sector with Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti at a Southeast Asian and Pacific regional fisheries meeting in Jakarta next week. The meeting which will also be attended by director general of the Thai fisheries department, Adisorn Promthep, and Malaysian minister of Agriculture and Agricultural-based Industry, Ahmad Shabery Cheek, will discuss fisheries reforms in Southeast Asia and the Pacific.

BREXIT The G20 meeting was the first of its kind since the Brexit vote and a debut for Britain’s new finance minister, Philip Hammond, who faced questions about how quickly the UK planned to move ahead with formal negotiations to leave the EU. Many countries are worried that a long delay could add to uncertainties that are dragging on the world economy. The International Monetary Fund this week cut its global growth forecasts because of the
Brexit vote. Data on Friday seemed to bear out fears, with a British business activity index posting its biggest drop in its 20-year history. “I hope that there is going to be clarification about the timing and process of the divorce. The sooner the better so this generates a new equilibrium,” Italian Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan told Reuters. French Finance Minister Michel Sapin said even though Britain was not prepared for Brexit, its response time should not be indefinite. And German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said it should not fall to other countries to spend more to try to cushion the blow of Britain’s exit.
“I believe that is a matter that the Britons need to deal with themselves,” he said following talks with Hammond. CURRENCIES Lew, in a meeting with Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso, reiterated the need for G20 members to refrain from competitive devaluations, as had been agreed at a G20 meeting in February. Regarded as a safe haven at times of market turmoil, the yen strengthened to around 100 to the dollar after the Brexit vote in late June, much to the chagrin of Japanese officials, although it has since eased back to around 106 per dollar. Markets are speculating about a
further expansion of the Bank of Japan’s massive stimulus programme at a July 28-29 policy review, with the yen’s strength this year hitting exports and undermining efforts to escape deflation. Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said he would ease policy further if necessary to achieve its 2 percent inflation goal, but again shrugged off talk of the BOJ taking the radical policy step of “helicopter money”. “If it means that central banks are directly underwriting government bonds, or managing monetary and fiscal policies as one, that would be prohibited in Japan as well as other advanced economies, as lessons from history tell us,” he said.(rtr)

examination. After a few minutes, a woman wearing a veil was taken in a wheel chair to a care unit. There has been no official statement regarding the condition of the members of the Santoso-led group, but it is believed that Jamiatun will be treated for physical and psychological recovery before being interrogated. It was reported that she was weak because she had not eaten for days. Jamiatun (22) was caught by the Tinombala Operation task force while conducting a sweep around Tambarana river in the Poso Pesisir Utara sub-district at around 8.30 am on Saturday. Santoso, one of the most wanted terrorist leaders in Indonesia, was eliminated in a gun battle by law enforcement officials on July 18, after he remained a fugitive-in-hiding for almost a decade in the remote forested mountainous area of Poso District, Central Sulawesi Province. Personnel from the Tinombala military operations task force were involved in a shootout with the Santoso-led Eastern Indonesian Mujahidin members, and managed to kill two men, while three others, including two women, escaped, to the Mt Tambarana area in Poso. “The three people, who escaped are suspected to be Basri, his wife, and Santosos
wife,” he added. Only 19 members of the Santoso-led armed Eastern Indonesian Mujahidin group now remain outside the reach of law. They include Jumiatun Muslim alias Atun alias Bunga alias Umi Delima, the wife of Santoso, Tini Susanti Kaduku alias Umi Fadel (Ali Kaloras wife) and Nurmi Usman alias Oma (Basris wife). With the seizure of Jamiatun their number has now dropped to 18. The chief of the Central Sulawesi Police Command, Brigadier General Rudy Sufahriadi has issued an order for the rest of the Santoso group members to surrender. “To surrender would be better,” he said in an order letter dated July 22, 2016. Brigadier General Rudy, who is in charge of the Tinombala Operation policy, called on them to surrender at the nearest police station or military post to account for what they had done. He also assured them that they would be treated humanely and with respect for their human rights, adding that they had better surrender rather than face arrest that could lead to harsh actions, adding that law enforcement authorities would pay attention to their families. Brigadier General Rudy also reiterated that the security agencies dont have a problem with them, but their actions. (ant)

Abandoned, swimming pool in Kubu overgrown by shrubs IBP/kmb40
BANGLI - The existence of swimming pool in the area of Kubu education center, Bangli, denoting the asset of the government of Bangli, remains dormant. Even though the government of Bangli through the Education Agency had planned to make a regional bylaw to manage the swimming pool, until now the plan is never realized. It was built with the fund of state budget from the Ministry of Education in 2009 and 2011 but until now remains dormant and is covered with shrubs and becoming mosquito breeding. As field observation on Friday (Jul. 22), the swimming pool directly behind the SMPN 2 Bangli junior high school consists of two units of large enough size. Other than the swimming pool, there are also two changing rooms and toilet as well as two units of gazebo located in the south and north of the swimming pool. Unfortunately, though the condition of swimming pool and gazebo is physically strong and good, the swimming pool area looks very rundown and unkempt. Grass and wild bush seem to be left to sprout around the swimming pool and they even come in and spread into the building in the southern part of the swimming pool. Besides, the entrance gate having been locked with a padlock looks damaged and broken so that people can come into the area. When confirmed to the Chief of the Bangli Education Agency on Friday (Jul. 22), Nyoman Suteja, said that the abandonment of the swimming pool has been happening for a long time. He acknowledged that his agency previously planned to make a regional bylaw to manage the swimming pool. However, the plan cannot be realized for the time being because his agency is still making data collection on the

asset. “Currently we are making overall data collection on the asset. Legal instrument will be made after accomplishing the data collection,” he explained. Suteja said if the status of the swimming pool asset has been clear, his agency will use it optimally. Utilization can be intended for general public or for training. “Asset documentation becomes the reference to create a legal instrument in the form of legislation or anything else. If the object is not clear, it can even be complicated so that we will work improperly,” he said. As reported all this time, management of the swimming pool lies in the hands of the Bangli Education Agency originally denoting a part of the infrastructure for the international kindergarten and elementary school having been renamed into SDN 4 Kubu elementary school. Prior to submission to the government of Bangli, the swimming pool was only used by the SDN 4 Kubu. However, the utilization could only last for short time. After being submitted to the Education Agency, it apparently could not manage it. It happened because managing the facilities needs high operating cost. Besides, the Education Agency has no legal instrument to manage the facilities. (kmb40)

Police say Munich suspect was obsessed with mass shootings
MUNICH — The 18-year-old gunman who opened fire at a crowded Munich shopping mall and fast-food restaurant, killing nine people and wounding 16 others before killing himself, was obsessed with mass shootings, police said Saturday. Investigators searched the unnamed German-Iranian man’s home overnight and found a considerable amount of literature about mass killings, including a book titled “Rampage in Head: Why Students Kill,” but no evidence that he was linked to extremist groups such as the Islamic State. They believe he acted alone. “Documents were found about mass shootings,” Munich’s police chief Hubertus Andrae told reporters. “The perpetrator was obviously obsessed with the issue.” Robert Heimberger, the head of Bavaria’s criminal police, said it appeared the shooter had hacked a Facebook account and sent a message inviting people to come to the mall for a free giveaway. The posting, sent from a young woman’s account, urged people to come to the mall at 4 p.m. (1400 GMT), saying: “I’ll give you something if you want, but not too expensive.” “It appears it was prepared by the suspect and then sent out,” Heimberger said. The woman shortly after reported that her account had been hacked. Initial investigations suggest the Munich-born suspect had suffered from psychological problems and received treatment, but details were still being confirmed, said Munich prosecutor Thomas SteinkrausKoch. The attack in the Bavarian capi-
tal sparked a massive security operation as authorities — already on edge after the recent attacks in Wuerzburg and Nice, France — received witness reports of multiple shooters carrying rifles shortly before 6 p.m. (1600 GMT). Eight hours later police declared a “cautious all clear,” saying the suspect was among the 10 dead and that he had likely acted alone. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was due to chair a meeting of her government’s security Cabinet Saturday. At an address on Dachauer Strasse that was searched by police early Saturday, a neighbor described the suspect as “very quiet.” “He only ever said ‘hi’. His whole body language was of somebody who was very shy,” said Stephan, a coffee shop owner who would only give his first name. “He never came in to the cafe,” he added. “He was just a neighbor and took out the trash but never talked.” Some 2,300 police from across Germany and neighboring Austria were scrambled in response to the attack, which happened less than a week after a 17-year-old Afghan asylum-seeker wounded five people in an ax-and-knife rampage that started on a regional train near the Bavarian city of Wuerzburg. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the train attack, but authorities have said the teen —

Members of the public run away from the Olympia Einkaufszentrum mall, after a shooting, in Munich, Germany, Friday, July 22, 2016. A manhunt was underway Friday for a shooter or shooters who opened fire at a shopping mall in Munich, killing and wounding several people, a Munich police spokeswoman said. The city transit system shut down and police asked people to avoid public places. who was shot and killed by police — likely acted alone. The suspect’s body was found about 2 1/2 hours after the attack, which started shortly before 6 p.m. (1600 GMT) at a McDonald’s restaurant across the street from the mall. He was found with 9mm Glock pistol and at least 300 rounds of ammunition, police said. A cell-phone video posted online showed the person filming from a balcony engaging verbally with the suspect dressed in black standing on the rooftop of the mall parking structure. The shooter at one point yells, “I’m German,” to which the filmer responds, “You are a jerk,” and demands to know what he is up to. The shooter yells at him to stop filming, and shortly after begins shooting. Andrae said police believe the video is genuine. Police have asked anyone with video and photos to upload them directly to their website to aid the investigation. David Akhavan, a 37-year-old who from Tehran, Iran, who works
at the Shandiz Persian restaurant, described his anguish as he learned of the shooting. “I started to get texts from friends asking if I was safe,” he said. “Then, my thoughts were: please, don’t be a Muslim. Please don’t be Middle Eastern. Please don’t be Afghan. I don’t accept any of this violence.” Witnesses had reported seeing three men with firearms near the Olympia Einkaufszentrum mall, but Andrae said two other people who fled the area were investigated but had “nothing to do with the incident.” Local residents described the scene as the shooting unfolded. “I was standing on the balcony smoking a cigarette. Suddenly I heard shots,” said Ferdinand Bozorgzad, who lives in a high-rise building next to Olympic Shopping Center. “First I thought someone had thrown some firecrackers. I looked down at the McDonald*s and saw someone shooting into the crowd. Then I saw two people lying there. “ Franco Augustini, another local resident, said his daughter
hid in the shopping center during the attack. “Next to our flat was a woman who was full of blood,” Augustini said. “My wife had a bottle of water. Then we helped to wash her. It was horrible and made me speechless.” Andrae, the police chief, said seven of the victims were teenagers; a 20-year-old man and a 45year-old woman were also killed. All were residents of Munich, he said. Twenty-seven people were hospitalized, including four with gunshot wounds, said Andrae. He said the city was safe to visit and that the attack wasn’t linked in any way to the recent influx of asylum-seekers that has stirred a debate about immigration in Germany, Munich’s mayor, Dieter Reiter, declared a day of mourning for the victims of “this terrible act.” “These are difficult hours for Munich,” he said, adding that the city’s citizens had shown great solidarity toward each other. “Our city stands united,” he said.(ap)

Site with clues to fate of fabled Lost Colony may be saved
RALEIGH, N.C. — Clues to what became of North Carolina’s fabled Lost Colony could lie in a waterfront tract where developers once wanted to build thousands of condos — and now, one of those would-be developers is seeking millions of dollars to preserve the property. The effort to save the 1,000 acres in rural Bertie County is in an early stage. Even the environmental group that developer Michael Flannelly hopes will help hasn’t seen the property yet. But Flannelly said he’s optimistic that his vision will eventually become a reality. “I want to see the site preserved,” said Flannelly, who lives on a boat that’s usually docked in Norfolk, Virginia, or near his land in Bertie County. “I think it would make a fantastic place for people to come.” The mystery of the Lost Colony — England’s first settlement in
North America — has intrigued historians and the popular imagination for centuries. In 1587, 116 English settlers landed on Roanoke Island, led by explorer John White. He left them there when he sailed back to England that same year for more supplies. Delayed by war between England and Spain, he didn’t return until 1590 — and when he did, he discovered the entire colony had simply vanished. White knew the majority had planned to move “50 miles into the maine,” as he wrote, referring to the mainland. The only clues he found

about the fate of the other two dozen were the word “CROATOAN” carved into a post and “CRO” lettered on a tree trunk, leading historians to believe they moved south to live with American Indians on what’s now Hatteras Island. But some archaeologists now suspect that at least some of the Roanoke colonists found their way to the inland site south of the Chowan River bridge, roughly 50 miles from Roanoke. It first came to light in 2012, when researchers at the British Museum in London announced they had found a drawing of a fort that had been obscured under a patch on a map of Virginia and North Carolina drawn by White in the 1580s. The drawing placed the fort in an area of Bertie County where archaeologists had found colonialera English pottery and signs of a Native American village several years earlier during a dig that the state required before Flannelly and his partners could get permits for the subdivision that was never built. Archaeologists have since found further evidence on the tract, dubbed Site X, including bale seals used to verify cloth quality and 16th-century nails. Before the site can be preserved, Flannelly must buy out his former development partners. Flannelly estimates it will take $4 million to $5 million, along with a conservation group willing to help raise the money and preserve the land. To any cynics who suspect Flannelly is doing this only for the money, he says he would get 8 percent of any sale, plus a tax credit. And the proposed buyout is far less than the $10 million Flannelly says the developers paid for the property. A spokesman for the company, Forest City, said in an email that officials know about the archaeological finds but have no other updates about the status of the property. Forest City no longer works in land development, spokesman Jeff Linton said. Flannelly said that when archaeologists uncovered the property’s historical significance, he insisted that those areas be cordoned off as green space and not developed. Flannelly personally owns 15 acres that include the possible Lost Colony site, but said he didn’t know about the artifacts when he chose that land for his own home. “They felt the same I did,” he said of the settlers. “That’s the best piece of property on the whole tract.” He has turned to North Carolina’s Coastal Land Trust, a nonprofit that has preserved more than 65,000 undeveloped acres in 31
counties since 1992. Lee Leidy, attorney and northeast regional director for the trust, said officials there hope to view the property later this month. “It’s fascinating,” she said. “It’s one that we’re very excited to take a look at and learn more about.” But raising funds to preserve the land presents a challenge, since limited conservation dollars must cover many projects, she said. “If it’s done properly, I think it could be tremendous,” said Arwin Smallwood, who wrote “Bertie County: An Eastern North Carolina History” and chairs the history department at N.C. A&T State University in Greensboro. “Right now in Bertie County, you can have a
true sense of history and what the landscape was like.” Tourists travel by the thousands to Dare County, home of the outdoor performance of “The Lost Colony” at an outdoor amphitheater on Roanoke Island. Now Bertie County residents have adopted the settlers as their own as well. More than 300 people attended the town of Windsor’s first Lost Colony Festival in April, said Billy Smithwick, the town fire chief and tourism manager. In addition, the county is acquiring 137 acres for a nearby park. “I think it would be quite a tourist attraction,” said Smithwick. “The Lost Colony is the greatest mystery in history that there is.” (ap)

Illegal monopoles rampant, district govt still inventories GIANYAR - Illegal monopoles (towers) are now appearing in numbers around Ubud. Ironically the installation was not accompanied with dissemination to local residents. As a result, a number of residents voiced their complaints and threatened to dismantle them. In the meantime, the BPPT Gianyar asserted that the agency has never issued any single permit for the monopoles in the subdistrict of the art. So far, a number of monopoles without permissions have been installed like at the SDN 2 Lodtunduh, SDN 3 Ubud elementary school, central intersection of Pangosekan, Nyuh Kuning Bridge Park and other locations. Existence of the monopole also sparked a friction in the community. Ironically village officials and traditional authorities do not know anything about it and they have been made a scapegoat. Chief of Lodtunduh customary village, I Made Karya, revealed that the installation of the monopole in the region has triggered unrest. It is said that the investor once requested to build monopole on the village meeting hall of Kalingkung, but residents rejected it. “Previously we have rejected the request, but it was suddenly established at the SDN 2 Lodtunduh at Abiansemal hamlet, Lodtunduh,” he said. People getting surprised by the presence of the monopole had made the chief of customary village
a scapegoat because he was alleged to have provided a permit. Responding to this accusation, Karya started a search, but no village officials know about it. “Having checked to the principal of the elementary school, he finally got the answer telling that the permission was issued by his superior,” he said. Chairman of Commission B of the Gianyar House of Representatives, I Wayan Gede Sudarta, admitted to have received about the complaints. From the initial search he got information there is a recommendation for a total of 50 points for the establishment of such similar tower. So far, he could ascertain that the monopoles have no construction permit. “More strangely, none of the 50 towers have a permit. In reality, all the towers have been established,” he said while surprising. In the meantime, the acting head of the BPPT, Wayan Sudamia, confirmed that his agency has not issued any single permit for the monopole construction. Besides, his agency cannot do anything because the governance is still inventorying the number of monopole having been established throughout Gianyar. “None of the monopoles have a permit. Currently, the governance is still inventorying because it is said there has been an MOU between the government of Gianyar in this regard the governance unit with private sector,” he explained.

Virtually all of the tens of kiosks on the second floor have been sold by the previous owners. A kiosk tenant on the second floor of the art market, Ida Bagus Arsa, said that since it was built in 1992, the kiosks on the second floor have been deserted of shoppers. As a result, many visitors are reluctant to go upstairs to shop. So, the merchants on the second floor gradually close their kiosk. Due to being deserted condition, the owners then sold their kiosks. Many papers carrying
FOR SALE are attached on rolling door. “To my knowledge, this building was indeed built by the government, but it was then sold and each owner has the certificate,” said the man from Cucukan village, Klungkung. Almost the entire kiosks on the second floor have been privately owned. In the meantime, conditions of the building on the second floor of the art market at the opposite of the Kertagosa looks very alarming. When going up to the second
floor, the stench of piss will pierce the nose. Many graffiti prohibiting people from urinating have been made on the pillars of the building. Due to being abandoned, the building on the second floor is in damaged condition. The floors have cracked and some iron rolling doors are also porous. Related to the condition of the market, the chief of Klungkung Market, Komang Widiasa Putra, revealed if the problem is the responsibility of the Klungkung Cooperatives, SMEs, Trade and Industry Agency. At the head of the Klungkung Cooperatives, SMEs, Trade and Industry Agency, Kusuma Jaya, said that he did not know anything about the matter. Instead, he even stated that the matter is the responsibility of the Klungkung Market. (dwa)

COVER STORY Game...
From page 1
Colonel Cantiasa told that when serving as unit commander of Kopassus (Army Special Command) he once attended a seminar in Hawaii. In the seminar was revealed that mobile phone around the world can be observed from the signal emitted. Mobile phone signal of some countries is very clearly transmitted to a satellite. Indonesia is among the countries having the highest density of mobile phone. “A lot of mobile phone users show very bright signal. Nonbright signal means if the country has small amount of mobile phone users. Just pay attention, the habit of Indonesian people that may have a minimum of two or even more mobile phones. Marketing of mobile phone in Indonesia is extraordinary,” he said. On that account, the mindset of young generation should be directed to the right one and the development of technology should help accomplish people’s task rather than plunging them to injurious things. The users of Pokemon
Go have exceeded the daily use of Twitter. Results of the survey made by Monkey Intelligence indicate that nearly 21 million people in the USA play Pokemon Go every day. In Indonesia, the number of gamers continues to develop and the use of the game must be alerted because there are more vulnerabilities. He reminded and expressly prohibited the soldiers in the 163/ Wira Satya Military Resort from playing Pokemon Go during hours of duty and in the area or regional military installations and offices. Furthermore, the prohibition is not without a reason because the Pokemon Go game uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) whose form can be seen through the Android smartphone or iPhone with a technology called the Augmented Reality. This technology distinguishes the former Pokemon from the current Pokemon Go. All the players have to adventure in the real world to find out the expected Pokemon. Indirectly, the data of the area or military installations uploaded can be seen by others where they may

be abused in the short term or in the long term. “Probably the game producer does not mean like that, but I still prohibit from playing the Pokemon Go at the unit and military installations of the 163/Wira Satya Military Resort. This is as a manifestation of our anticipation against the regional defense and security in harmony with the development of technology outside. We must remain vigilant and not to be unmindful at any second against things that can endanger the regional security or country,” he said. He added that the instruction related to the prohibition from playing Pokemon Go is also based on the letter of the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform No. B/2555/ M.PANRB / 07/2016 dated July 20, 2016 on the Prohibition from Playing GPSBased Virtual Games in the Area of Government Agencies. Surely it is intended as a form of national vigilance and anticipation against potential vulnerability in the field of security and confidentiality of the government or military installations.
“Once again, I’d like to appeal to all the people, especially parents, to supervise their children who are playing Pokemon Go. Safety factor should become a major concern,” he pleaded. Bali Police along with the ranks have done the same. Its personnel are prohibited from playing the Pokemon Go especially during office hours. Moreover, the game can lead to danger, especially while driving a vehicle. Traffic accident may happen because the driver is focusing on the game. “Making a call or sending SMS are prohibited when driving and so is playing the game. We call on so that concentration must be directed to the road when driving to avoid accidents,” said Spokesman of Bali Police, Anak Agung Made Sudana. This former deputy director of Bali Police Traffic Affairs urged the public, especially road users, to comply with traffic rules. When violating, in addition to harming themselves they can also harm others. “Now, we often encounter motorists using mobile phone, whereas it is dangerous. The rules must be
complied with for the sake of our safety on the road,” he said. He hoped the personnel of Bali Police and their ranks not to chime in like that, but should be an example or role model. Similarly, he hoped the police personnel and the ranks to provide the best services for the community. In addition, they must be able to protect the people. (rah)

Use of gadget makes eyes watery to hormone disorders
DENPASAR - The use of computer, tablet or mobile phone to play online games is now expanding. Apparently people cannot be separated from this kind of device in their daily life. Electronic device has been used from children, adults to the elderly for daily regular work, lessons at schools, education, data, everyday communication or games.

Many complaints or the risks are caused by the use of the device either having been reported or not as indicated by the result of research. Some of the complaints or risks are reported happen to eyestrain such as eye irritation, sore, watery eyes, glare, dizziness, difficulty of concentration, sleeplessness, minus or cylindrical eyes. Putu Budhiastra, an ophthalmologist at the Sanglah Hospital explained that radiation of computer or laptop or gadget screen can affect in short-term and long-term. The short-term one includes watery eyes and tiredness on the eyes. “Excessive works of the eyes before computer can potentially affect the productivity of the melatonin hormone within the body,” he said, Saturday (Jul. 23). Production of melatonin hormone reduces due to the presence of external stimuli, such as light and electromag-
netic fields. Light or electromagnetic field in high intensity and for a long time can reduce production of melatonin hormone and can potentially cause a variety of complaints, including headaches, dizziness, fatigue and insomnia. Besides, the exposure to radiation by computer or gadget may also cause asthenopia, where the pupil of the eyes reacts slowly to the light because of prolonged exposure to excessive light. In the meantime, the long-term effect of the exposure to radiation, either by laptop or other gadget, is cataract namely visual impairment caused by cloudiness in the lens of the eyes, so that the vision greatly decreases. “A research in China reports that there is a permanent visual impairment due to a damage to macula or eye blind spot due to frequent use of screen or mobile phone in dark room (lighting turnedoff),” he added.

Prone to information spying and accidents
NEW YORK — In the opening moments of the documentary “Gleason,” the celebrated New Orleans Saints safety Steve Gleason talks to the camera with a not-yet-occupied crib behind him. He has just learned that he has ALS. Soon the symptoms will take over. Preparing for what’s coming, Gleason tells his unborn son that he wants to give him “as much of myself as I possibly can while I still can.”
What follows is a father-son tale of staggering spirit, both tragic and awe-inspiring. With overwhelming intimacy, “Gleason” follows Steve (diagnosed at age 34) and his wife, Michel, into the maelstrom of ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, as the couple adjusts to their fluctuating reality and makes way for their son, Rivers. “Ultimately, if the audience walks away from this film with anything, my hope is they understand that in the midst of our adversity, we will find our greatest opportunities,” Gleason, who now communicates through a machine he operates with his eyes, said by email. “Everyone faces tragedy and adversity, but most often, that is where we find our power and meaning.” “Gleason,” which has already soaked all the Kleenex along the festival circuit, is a mixture of video journals Gleason shot for his son while he still had the power of speech, and documentary footage. His body disintegrates heartbreakingly fast, just as he, undaunted, embarks on a new mission to raise attention for ALS. Edited together from 1,300 hours of footage by director Clay Tweel, “Gleason” is a family portrait that doesn’t shy away from the disease’s day-to-day hardships, the Gleasons’ naked emotions or even Rivers’ birth. “This is purely just raw, real emotion,” says Michel Varisco Gleason, speaking by phone. “It’s crazy that it’s out there, but it is.” The film packs such a wallop partly because the Gleasons are themselves so unsentimental. They’re free spirits and adventurers, more likely to use a new

RECENTLY the game of Pokemon Go draws public attention, including the Commander of the 163/Wira Satya Military Resort, I Nyoman Cantiasa. He reminded and appealed to the public to be more careful and cautious in playing the Pokemon Go. There have been a lot of reports from various parts of the world telling about the impact of the adventurous game ending in accidents and claiming casualties, both the gamers and the environment. Police authority in some countries like in the United States and Indonesia, according to him, has issued a warning to play the Pokemon Go carefully. The officials of the National Police and Indonesia Military have warned and checked the mobile phone of their personnel to immediately delete if they have the game. In addition, a number of hunters of Pokemon Go were reported to have gone to locations that should not be a place to play, like the incidents at some places where there are strangers getting into the military headquarters so that they cause insecurity. Pokemon Go is further development of the multi-player online game based on GPS, where the website is built based on the location including the remote point to be visited. “The most popular will become the location of the Pokestop and Gyms. It is according to Hanke, the inventor of the GPS-based online map application and forerunner of the Google Earth. Thus, it can be prone to strategic areas and agencies,” he said, Saturday (Jul. 23).

But both Steve and Michel acknowledge being nervous about releasing such an intimate film — “the inside of our life,” Michel calls it. “Honestly, I am not sure I will ever be completely comfortable with some of these intimate and raw moments being public,” says Gleason. “At the same time, I believe that our greatest strength as humans is to share our weakness and vulnerability with each other.” Gleason played for seven years in the NFL, where he was most famous for a cathartic, city-rallying punt block in the early minutes of the Saints’ first Superdome game after Hurricane Katrina.

Turkish president gains upper hand in power struggle
ISTANBUL - At the crossroads between a divided Europe and a convulsed Middle East, Turkey is caught in a power struggle between former Islamist allies which is shaking democratic institutions and raises questions about its future path. Since a failed coup on July 15, the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) founded by President Tayyip Erdogan has gained the upper hand in its battle with clandestine networks in the military, judiciary and bureaucracy loyal to U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen. This fight to the bitter end has
alarmed the West and unsettled the country of 80 million, which borders the chaos in Iraq and Syria and is a Western ally against Islamic State. Erdogan accuses Gulen of masterminding the attempted coup by a faction within the military and has rounded up more than 60,000 people in an operation which he
hopes will cleanse Turkey of what he calls the Gulenist “virus”. The purges, carried out as Turkey faces attacks by Islamist State and a revived struggle with Kurdish militants, go beyond the more than 100 generals and 6,000 soldiers held, or the nearly 3,000 judges detained. They already encompass 21,000 teachers and much of the academic community, and new targets in a media already hit by years of firings and fines, jailings and closures. “They are traitors,” Erdogan told
Reuters in an interview on Thursday. He described Gulen’s network as “like a cancer” and said he would treat them like a “separatist terrorist organisation” and root them out, wherever they may be. Gulen, 75, denies plotting against the state and suggested the day after the abortive coup that it may have been staged to justify a crackdown on his followers. The millions of members of Gulen’s “Hizmet” (Service) movement do not outwardly identify as sup-
porters. Since the failed coup many are going even further underground, refusing to take calls or trying to leave the country.
