“Nightcrawler”, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a sleazy video-journalist who patrols Los Angeles at night hunting for gory footage to sell to a local television network, opened with $10.9 million.

Just a fraction behind in second spot was horror movie “Ouija,” estimates from box office tracker Exhibitor Relations showed.

Third place was taken by Brad Pitt World War II tank drama “Fury,” with $9.1 million, ahead of David Fincher thriller “Gone Girl” starring Ben Affleck, which added another $8.8 million to its five-week haul.

Animated comedy “The Book of Life,” featuring the voices of Zoe Saldana and Channing Tatum, was

in fifth place at $8.3 million.“John Wick,” starring Keanu

Reeves as an ex-hitman who returns from retirement to take revenge on gangsters who attacked him, raked in just under $8.1 million in ticket sales to take sixth place.

“St. Vincent,” a comedy starring Bill Murray, Melissa McCarthy and Naomi Watts, held onto seventh place. The film, about a young boy who befriends the crusty war veteran living next door, earned $7.8 million.

Disney’s “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” -- based on a children’s book of the same name and starring Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner -- came in eighth place at just under

$6.5 million.Legal drama “The Judge,” pair-

ing Robert Duvall and Robert Downey Jr, was ninth with $3.4 million. Action-horror film “Dracu-la Untold” -- depicting the vampire as a flawed hero in a tragic love tale -- rounded out the top 10 with $2.9 million.

Elsewhere this weekend, Nicole Kidman suffered her worst ever large scale opening in the the thrill-er “Before I Go to Sleep,” which took just over $2 million after a wide release across 1,935 theaters. The movie stars the Australian Oscar-winner opposite Colin Firth as a woman suffering from chronic amnesia who wakes up every morn-ing with no recollection of her life from her early 20s onwards.

The weak opening marks another disappointing flop for Kidman after “Grace of Monaco,” which was booed at the Cannes festival earlier this year and savaged by critics.

NEW YORK — You don’t get to be the longest-running chil-dren’s show in TV history by do-ing the same thing over and over. So even though parents who grew up watching “Sesame Street” can still see old favorites like Big Bird, things on the street have changed since the show debuted 45 years ago on Nov. 10, 1969.

Cookie Monster now exercises self-control and sometimes eats fruits and vegetables. Millions of

kids watch the show on phones and computers instead of TV. And there’s less time spent on the street with human characters. They’re just not energetic enough for today’s viewers.

That “Sesame Street” still exists at all says a lot. In 1973, it was one of two TV shows for preschoolers. Now it’s competing with 84 kids’ shows on TV and countless oth-ers online. Yet “Sesame Street” still holds its own, ranking 20th among kids ages 2 to 5 with 850,000 viewers per TV episode, according to Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit organization behind the show.

But now half the viewers watch it in digital formats. Options in-clude SesameStreet.org, PBSKids.org, Netflix, Amazon, iTunes and

some 50 apps. A “Sesame Street” YouTube channel has a million subscribers and 1.5 billion views. And touchscreens have been “a magic wand for us in terms of en-gagement,” says “Sesame Street” senior vice president Scott Cham-bers. Kids can trace letters or point to colors or shapes, and the app provides positive reinforcement.

“Sesame Street” also has the highest “co-viewing” experience — meaning adults watching with kids — of any preschool show: 49 percent of “Sesame Street” view-ers are over age 18. “We’re very proud of that,” said Chambers. “We design the show to engage the parent because we know that’s more educational. If you have a parent watching with you, you’re going to learn much more.”

It happened because the irriga-tion channel irrigating the fields at Subak Aseman II located behind the Subak Aseman I was closed as the impact of the warehouse development project owned by a leading private company at the former green belt of Subak Aseman I, Jelijih Tegeh hamlet, Megati, East Selemadeg.

As has been known, at the lo-

cation will be built a warehouse owned by one of the renowned dealers. However, the green belt had been revoked by the Tabanan House of the 2009-2014 tenure at the end of their term a few months ago. It was based on the reason for developing the subdistrict town. Even, the discussion on the revo-cation of the green belt had gone through a tug since the revocation

plan was alleged to have been influ-enced by investors. Surely, before long released, the former green belt was suddenly leveled. Lately, it was known if the land of approxi-mately 2 hectares was owned by a renowned dealer.

Related to the warehouse con-struction, the chief of Subak Ase-man II, Nengah Sukanama, ac-companied by subgroup head of Munduk Lantang, Made Widarma, was disappointed because there was no coordination at all when closing to the irrigation channel of Subak Aseman II. gAlthough the project location is at Subak Aseman I, but the closed irrigation channel also flows to the area of Subak Aseman

II. Even, we have not been included in the covenant between the Subak Aseman I and the investor,h he said.

One of the points in the agree-ment mentions that the second party (investor) is prohibited from closing or destroying the irriga-tion channel owned by the subak at downstream area. Meanwhile, another point mentions if the first party (Subak Aseman) approved to the water diversion and the second party is obliged to build a new irrigation channel on the land owned by the second party. Besides, the second party is not allowed to close the old irrigation channel before the new one can

function properly.But the fact in the field indicates

if the irrigation channel to Subak Aseman II has now been closed and cannot operate any longer. gOther than not being involved, we are also disappointed because the irrigation channel was closed arbitrarily. Obviously, we are very much harmed,h he said.

He hoped the relevant parties could immediately intervene to resolve the problems. gWe have predicted that the revocation of green belt initially meant to de-velop the subdistrict town, but it is then controlled by investor,h he explained.

Bangli (Bali Post)—On Saturday night (Nov 1), the

Traffic Unit of Bangli Police raided the reckless speeding committed by a number of youths in the LC Uma Aya. From the results of raid, police could secure four motorcycles used in the illegal racing. The four motor-cycles in incomplete condition were immediately seized and secured to the Bangli Police station.

The Chief of Bangli Police Traf-fic Unit, Nyoman Sukadana, when met he said the activity was carried out with a number of public service personnel based on the public report around the location. They said if the

area was often used as the arena of speeding so it was quite disturbing the people’s comfort. After getting the report, his party directly came down to location that night. “Initially, there was a public report about the speeding. Incidentally we were in the field, so that we immediately came down and secured them,” he explained.

A number of young men get-ting involved in the speeding were directly ticketed. Meanwhile, the motorcycles used for speeding were immediately seized and taken to the Bangli Police station. “Condition of the motorcycles varied such as

having no license plate, no rearview mirrors and motor racing muffler,” he said. He also added that other than summoning the parents of speeding offenders, police would also summon an owner of the repair shops near the speeding location. It was known to be the place for dismantling the motorcycle.

Other than raiding the speeding activities at LC Uma Aya at that night, his party was also organizing inspection in front of the Captain Mudita Square, Bangli. As a result, dozens of motorcyclists caught rid-ing without helmet were ticketed by police. (ina)

The fire in the protected forest occurred sporadically at almost at 20 points, Kedampal hamlet, Datah village, Abang subdistrict, Sunday (Nov 2). The most severe fire occurred at the milepost num-ber 640, 642, 635, 636, 637, 638, 639, 640, 641 and 642, Forestry Land Register (RTK) VIII within the complex of Mount Abang Agung (AGA).

The Chief of Abang Rang-ers (KRPH), I Nyoman Dadi, revealed that the protected forest fire incident occurred on Satur-day (Nov 1) around 09:00 a.m. in the Forestry Land Register VIII at Kedampal hamlet. At that time, a number of residents had noticed two hotspots around the milepost 635 and 636 located in the upper protected forest. “At that time, we got a report from people of Kedampal that there were two hotspots above. Since Kedampal resident were conduct-ing a religious ceremony at the time, only two people climbed up to extinguish the fire,” he said.

The fire quickly spread due

Fire on Mount Agung scorches 15 hectaresAmlapura (Bali Post)—

The upper slopes of Mount Agung were on fire and scorched 15 hectares of protected forest. Conditions of dry trees and strong wind made the fire spread quickly engulf-ing the protected forest land. As the location was difficult to reach, the regional Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD) wishing to put out the fire could only watch and monitor the fire being able to do anything,.

to strong winds and dried trees in the area. As a result, residents were not capable of extinguish-ing the increasingly large fire. The fire even surrounded two residents. Fortunately, they could save themselves and came down from the location of the fire. On the same day, Nyoman Dadi along with a number of forestry officers assisted by a number of volunteers decided to climb to the hotspots.

This was done to prevent the fire from spreading. “Based on our data collection, the area of the fire was about 15 hectares and it happened in a matter of hours,” he said. Until Sunday, the flames were continuing to grow larger towards the top and at the bottom as well as approaching the loca-tion of the geo membrane dam.

All residents could do was to be on guard, so that the fire would not spread to the dam. Although it was currently vacant the dam worth billions of rupiahs was still expected to be filled with water during rainy season. “What

people can do is try to prevent the flames from getting to close to the dam because this dam is vital for the residents,” he concluded.

Similar conditions were also re-vealed by I Ketut Winti, one of the

Kedampal residents. According to him, similar fires had occurred sever-al times in the, but added that this was the biggest fire of the year, rapidly devouring dozens of hectares of the protected forest land in just 30 hours.

“The fire immediately enlarged and was hard to put down,” he said while pointing out to the first hotspot. He worried that the smoke would disturb and endanger climbers at the peak of Mount Agung. (dwa)

The fourth and final volume of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s giant climate assessment offered no surprises, nor was it expected to since it combined the findings of three reports released in the past 13 months.

But it underlined the scope of the climate challenge in stark terms. Emissions, mainly from the burning of fossil fuels, may need to drop to zero by the end of this century for the world to have a decent chance of keeping the temperature rise below a level that many consider dangerous.

The IPCC did not say exactly what such a world would look like but it would likely require a massive shift to renewable sources to power homes, cars and industries combined with new technologies to suck greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

The report warned that failure to reduce emissions could lock the world on a trajectory with “irreversible” impacts on people and the environment . Some impacts already being observed

Associated Press Writer

NEW DELHI — Indian au-thorities set fire Sunday to a stockpile of tiger skins, elephant tusks, rhino horns and other il-legal animal parts in an effort to discourage wildlife smuggling in South Asia.

Animal poaching and smuggling have flourished in India, driven by black market demand from China, Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries where many believe ex-otic animal parts have medicinal or aphrodisiacal properties. In most cases, there is no scientific evidence that they do.

Indian Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar loaded more than 42,000 illegal animal parts into a large, blazing oven at the Delhi Zoo. The parts included tiger and leopard pelts, reptile skins, rhino horns and shawls made from endangered Tibetan antelope called shahtoosh. Wild-life officials and members of the media crammed into the small

room at the zoo to witness the inferno.

“The exercise is an attempt to deplore the unethical, indiscrimi-nate and most unlawful activities of harvest and trade of wildlife products,” the Environment Min-istry said in a statement, linking India’s future development with the health of its biodiversity.

Indian wildlife — already struggling with habitat loss due to the expansion of human settle-ments — has been hit hard by poachers and the illegal trade in animal parts. India holds half of the world’s estimated 3,200 wild tigers, but those numbers have de-clined drastically from the 5,000-7,000 tigers India was estimated to have had in the 1990s.

The once-obscure pangolin trade has soared, with at least 320 of the scaly mammals now seized from smugglers each year. Star tor-toise seizures by customs officials have also shot up, from less than 800 a year before 1999 to more than 3,000 a year since 2002.

UN climate report offers stark warnings, hope


COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Climate change is happening, it’s almost entirely man’s fault and limiting its impacts may require reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero this century, the U.N.’s panel on climate science said Sunday.

included rising sea levels, a warmer and more acidic ocean, melting glaciers and Arctic sea ice and more frequent and intense heat waves.

“Science has spoken. There is no ambiguity in their message. Leaders must act. Time is not on our side,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said at the report’s launch in Copenhagen.

Amid its grim projections, the report said the tools are there to set the world on a low-emissions path and break the addiction to burning oil, coal and gas which pollute the atmosphere with heat-trapping CO2, the chief greenhouse gas.

“All we need is the will to change, which we trust will be motivated by knowledge and an understanding of the science of climate change,” IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri said.

The IPCC was set up in 1988 to assess global warming and its impacts. The report released Sunday caps its latest assessment, a mega-review of 30,000 climate change studies that establishes

with 95-percent certainty that most of the warming seen since the 1950s is man-made. The IPCC’s best estimate is that just about all of it is man-made, but it can’t say that with the same

degree of certainty.Today only a small minor-

ity of scientists challenge the mainstream conclusion that cli-mate change is linked to human activity.

Global Climate Change, a NASA website, says 97 percent of climate scientists agree that warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities.

Bali PostGIANYAR - Prolonged drought

occurred this year has made farm-ers in Gianyar inflamed. Hectares of their paddy fields and other agricultural lands got troubles in getting water. Even, some chili plants died due to the drought. In addition, a variety of plant pest also increasingly fret farmers.

As monitoring at Subak Cawu Duur, Sukawati, on Sunday (Nov 2), some hectares of paddy field planted with chili looked dry as they did not get any water. Even, a local farmer, Wayan Kerta, 40, told that due to a long drought each subak area just got the ir-

rigation water once in five days. “Today is the turn of our subak that has been waiting for the wa-ter from 04:00 a.m. and just get the turn (8:00 a.m.—Ed). Even, some other farmers are waiting for water from 11:00 p.m.,” said a farmer cultivating chili on 2,000 square meters of land.

He also complained that due to prolonged drought the irrigation water flowing from the upstream to downstream was not smooth, so that many farmers in the down-stream area did not get water. As a result, it often triggered a conflict among the farmers as they often stole water. “Well,

the quarrel related to water is commonplace. We do not know what to do because this drought has made the water flowing from the upstream to downstream not smooth,” he said.

Wayan Kerta worried that prolonged drought often kindled some pests such as fruit flies, bacteria to fungus. The most severe was that some chili plants died because they did not get water at all. To that end, he truly expected the rain so that the pest could vanish. “Hopefully, if it rains once all pests will immedi-ately disappear,” he said.

Similar complaint was re-

vealed by Putu Darma. The paddy planted at Subak Somi and Subak Juuk also experienced drought. Actually, on the ??6,000 square meters of land his paddy plant had been 50 days old. “Now, be-fore the paddy plants are bloom-ing they should get much water. However, the current water is very small and almost totally ran out,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Gi-anyar Agriculture Agency, I Gusti Ayu Dewi Hariani, when asked for her confirmation via phone for few times related to the farmers’ complaint about the drought was not answered. (kmb35)

ForBALI rides a bike at RenonBali Post

DENPASAR - Hundreds of youths denoting a combination of customary village youth clubs and bike communities and incorporated into the Balinese People’s Forum Rejecting Benoa Bay Reclamation (ForBALI) held a campaign to reject the Benoa Bay reclamation while cycling in the area of the car-free day, Renon, Sunday (Nov 2).

Prolonged drought, farmers getting confused

the rejection against the Benoa Bay reclamation and shouted the yells at the west corner of the Renon Square. Spokesperson of the cycling action, Kadek Bobby Susila, said the flyer distribution aimed to build public awareness so that people could understand why Benoa Bay reclamation plan should be rejected.

“13 reasons of rejecting the Benoa Bay reclamation are dis-

tributed to the public. They are the basic reasons why we reject the Benoa Bay reclamation. Amidst the massive rejection against the Benoa Bay reclama-tion, the government still seeks to pave the plan. In response to that matter, the movement of rejecting the Benoa Bay reclamation will not stop until the plan can be canceled,” said Bobby.

As seen in the action, the mu-

sicians all this time voicing about the rejection against the Benoa Bay reclamation included Jerinx, the drummer of Superman Is Dead. Jerinx asserted that rejec-tion movement against the Benoa Bay reclamation was a culture and creative movement.

“Many non-violent ways can be chosen to express the rejec-tion against the reclamation of Benoa Bay, where one of which is through cycling activity. Every-one has different ways but with the same goal to reject the Benoa Bay reclamation,” he said.

Campaign on the rejection against the Benoa Bay recla-

mation was enthusiast ical ly welcomed by the participants of car-free day. Evidently, the yell of ‘rejecting reclamation’ continued to reverberate from the visitors along the way of the ForBALI while surrounding Renon. (kmb32)


CAIRO — At least 210 peo-ple were killed in fighting in Libya’s eastern city of Benghazi since troops loyal to the country’s elected government launched an attempt to re-take the city from Islamist militias two weeks earlier, a medical official said Sunday.

The official would not identify those killed, or say whether they included government troops, in-dicating that the battle for control of Benghazi has not yet been settled.

The turmoil in Benghazi started when renegade Gen. Khalifa Hift-er — a former Gadhafi army chief who joined the opposition decades before the uprising — launched a campaign against Islamist militias which were implicated in series of assassinations and attacks on journalists, activists, and security forces in the city.

Hifter won support among large sectors of Libyans but the army units loosely allied with him were

defeated and forced to leave the city by Islamist militias.

Then, the internationally recog-nized government, led by Abdul-lah al-Thinni, joined ranks with Hifter and on Oct. 15, launched a wide offensive to retake the city. Until then, Hifter troops had largely fought from bases outside the city.

On Sunday, a security official in Benghazi said government troops have entered a new neighborhood in the city. The official said the troops are carrying out a wave of arrests against Islamist militias and have arrested one of their spokesmen. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to brief reporters.

Libya is witnessing one of the worst spasms of violence since the downfall of longtime dicta-tor Moammar Gadhafi. Powerful militias, who had fought to bring Gadhafi down, took control of the country, challenging the authority of central government.

Kaci Hickox said in an interview with the Maine Sunday Telegram that she was fighting for the rights of other U.S. medical workers who are trying to bring the deadly outbreak under control in West Africa.

After she arrived in Maine last week, state health officials went to court in an attempt to bar her from crowded public places. A judge ruled Friday she must continue daily monitoring of her health but can go wherever she pleases. Maine Gov. Paul LePage said he disagreed with the ruling but would abide by it.

“I hope in six months aid work-ers returning back can be unno-ticed,” Hickox told the newspaper. “They won’t be in the media like I was, I hope. And they can walk into a grocery store and maybe no one even knows they were working in a country with Ebola, but one day I hope everyone can know and still smile at them in the grocery store. I know that won’t happen today.”

Hickox, 33, told the newspaper that she will respect the wishes of town residents and avoid going into

town during the illness’s 21-day in-cubation period, which for her ends Nov. 10. She was criticized by some who said she wasn’t considering the public’s well-being by resisting the quarantine.

“I didn’t mean to bring this media storm onto this community, either, but I think unfortunately sometimes, especially when up against governors, you don’t always have an option,” she said. “I don’t feel like I was given an option.”

Hickox is originally from Rio Vista, Texas, and worked in Indo-nesia, Burma, the Darfur region of Sudan and Nigeria before returning to the U.S. to earn masters’ degrees in public health and nursing. She went to Sierra Leone this summer with Doctors Without Borders when the Ebola outbreak erupted.

She told the paper that she didn’t count the number of people who died, only the number of survivors: 39 during her time. But she still remembers the victims. On her last night in the country, she treated a little girl who didn’t survive.

“I don’t remember her exact age. I think she was 10, but to watch a 10-year-old die alone, in a tent and know there wasn’t anything you could do . it’s hard,” she said.

Hickox contended that the state’s

confining her to her home in what it called a voluntary quarantine violated her rights and was unsup-ported by science. She defied the restrictions twice, once to go on a bike ride and once to talk to the me-

dia and shake a reporter’s hand.In his ruling, the judge thanked

Hickox for her service in Africa and acknowledged the gravity of restrict-ing someone’s constitutional rights without solid science to back it up.

Singaraja (Bali Post)—

Mango farmers at Depeha village, Kubutambahan subdistrict, appreciated the breakthrough program encouraged by the Regent of Buleleng Putu Agus Suradnyana. It was rolled out early in 2013 in an effort to increase the pro-ductivity of mangos at the local village. At this time, the productivity of mango produced by farmers has increased by 50 percent.

One of the mango farmers, Jro Mangku Alit, said that his mango yields increased after the Regent Suradnyana rolled out a demonstra-tion plot in an area of 1 hectare. The increasing productivity of mango trees is due to the use of organic fertilizer with a dose of 50 kilograms to each of the 10-year-old mango tree. After that, they were given NPK Phonska, as much as 2 kg per tree. Besides, farmers also pruned the unproductive branches.

With special and careful mainte-nance, Mangku Alit said that each tree was capable of yielding 40-50 kg to 55-60 kg in one harvest. Estimation of the fertilization results and harvest yield obtained, had made farmers feel comfortable to persistently cultivate mangos on this land. However, before the program was launched, a lot of farmers wanted to switch profes-sions towards unskilled labor. Market demands have increased in keeping with the development of gradually im-proved mango production. “We would like to thank Mr. Regent Suradnyana for his breakthrough program. So far, the demand for mangos continues to increase, including from supermarkets. Some buyers from outside the area often come directly to our village and buy large quantities,” he said, Saturday (Nov 1).

Meanwhile, the Regent of Buleleng, Putu Agus Suradnyana, accompanied by the Head of Buleleng Agriculture and Livestock Agency Nyoman Swatantra and the Head of Forestry and Plantation Agency Ketut Nerda explained that the inspection agenda carried out could become an effective solution by taking a closer look at the problems and get-ting to know the potential progress of this and other government programs, especially in agriculture. The regent wanted to get an idea about how effec-tive the project was, when drafting the regional budget for the agricultural sec-tor so that later on he could put it into the main regional budget for 2015. “To set priorities for the agricultural sector for next year, we need to discuss with farmers in the villages,” he concluded. (kmb34)

According to information gathered at the scene, the stage set up by the committee was located on the south facing north. The 8 x 6 meters stage was originally intended for VIP guests. A number of guests including the Regent of Buleleng Putu Agus Suradnyana were present at the national championship. A few moments later, the special invitees including the regent left the race arena. The two-story stage was then thronged by spectators, both adults and children. The stage was built with a steel frame -five mil-limeters thick, and plywood. Both the lower and the upper stage was filled with spectators.

Around 1:30 p.m. just as the race was start-ing, the stage suddenly collapsed. The plywood and wooden beams gave way under the heavy load of the spectators on the upper level. Of course, the spectators from the upper level fell down and hit the spectators beneath. As a result, dozens of spectators were injured with some becoming unconscious. The incident also caused panic. The victims were rushed to the Emergency Room at Buleleng Hospital by a PMI Buleleng ambulence. The victims suffered broken bones, one leg and a hand as well as wounds to the head and abrasions. The injuries occurred due to the collision of the collapsed wooden and iron frame and the trampling by the crowds on it.

Managing Director of the Buleleng Hospital,

Gede Wiartana, who came down in person to serve the victims said that there were 11 mo-tor cross spectators, treated in the Emergency Room. Two of the victims suffered severe inju-ries and had to be hospitalized for a few days. The two victims were Bayu Yoga Sucita, 9, from Kanginan hamlet, Kanginan village, Kubutam-bahan subdistrict. Bayu suffered a broken bone on right hand and right thigh and swelling of the head caused by the falling stage. In addition, another victim was hospitalized due to severe head injuries: Eli Purnawati from Kayuputih, Banjar subdistrict.

Meanwhile, as of Sunday night the other victims were still under observation. These are: Putu Jayasa, 32 and Putu Suarsana, 23, both from Kubutambahan, Rendra Setiawan, 16, from Kanginan village, Kubutambahan subdis-trict, Ayu Yuda, 32, from Banyuning, Putu Rico, 18, from Sukasada, Komang Nama, 13, from Pakisan village, Kubutambahan subdistrict, Komang Ariasa, 29, from Kayuputih village, Banjar subdistrict, Radita, 6, from Banyuning and Hidayat, 42. Another victim of the incident was treated at the Army Hospital. “We were in-formed about the incident of the collapsed stage and patients were referred to county hospitals. They have all been treated. Two victims are seri-ously injured and were hospitalized, the others are still under observation. If results indicate that

the patients no longer need hospitalization, they can go home,” he said.

Meanwhile, Nyoman Jaya Mulya, a member of one of the committees, when ascertaining the condition of injured spectators said that the organizers promised to bear their treatment cost. This offer was made possible because the com-mittee had provided insurance coverage against the spectators of the motorcycle race from all regions across Indonesia. “We have come here to verify the number of injured and hospitalized spectators. We will cover the medical treatment costs from the admission ticket that included insurance for the spectators,” he said.

Meanwhile, Mulya said the two-story stage was actually designated for VIP guests including the entourage of Buleleng regent who witnessed the national championship. When the VIP guests left the location, his party had warned spectators not to rush the stage. However, due to the abun-dance of spectators, the committee had trouble barring them so the stage was filled . The upper stage was occupied by more than 50 people, with a capacity for much less. Allegedly due to overcapacity, the stage collapsed. “As soon as the VIP guests left the location, we warned the spectators to find out another place to watch from. Unfortunatly, the warning was ignored, and the stage collapsed,” he added.

Although colored by the collapsed stage in-cident injuring a dozen spectators, the race held by the Bali MX and Bali Jaya Racing Manage-ment still continued. The spectators remained enthusiastic about the attraction of the riders on the race track. Even, the heat of the sun did not dampen the spirit of the spectators who were hungry for entertainment such as motor cross racing. (kmb28)

To revive the cultural heritage at Pejeng village, the Gianyar government in cooperation with the Soma Negara Grand Palace at Pejeng held an art show. It was

organized at the palace by featur-ing classical art in the form of psalmody, shadow puppet, human puppet and Kecak Dance entitled ‘The Killing of Kumbhakarna.’

Headman of Pejeng, Cokorda Rai Widiarsa Pemayun, deliv-ered that utilization of the Soma Negara Grand Palace as a vehicle of staging was very important. It

was meant to maintain and pre-serve the history of culture. In ad-dition to royal palace, the Pejeng village environment also played a role in the success of the event. On that account, the arrangement began to be made from the envi-ronment surrounding the palace including the Pejeng village.

The performing art entitled ‘The Killing of Kumbhakarna’ also received positive feedback from the royal family. One of them was Cokorda Raka. His party was very glad to participate in preserving the culture. “Our palace is composed of three parts, namely the outermost, middle and innermost courtyard and it is open to the public except for the sacred area,” he explained.

Chairman of the Organizing Committee, Yoke Darmawan, explained the performance was one of the arts that would be raised by Pejeng village. Concept of the story and ideas were com-piled by Prof. Dr I Wayan Dibia along with I Made Sidia served as the Art Director and Arranger. The first performance took place successfully on October 8. As planned, this event would be held every full moon as the icon of Pejeng village.

Ramayana

Kumbhakarna is a powerful and brave giant of Lanka. He has an elder brother named king Ravana. However, the brother Ravana committed evil deeds by

abducting Sita, the wife of Sri Rama. This incident caused Sri Rama and his monkey army to at-tack Lanka in the battlefield. It is the part of the Ramayana epic.

One by one of the Lanka troops were killed. King Ravana was angry and expressed his anger to Kumbhakarna. Obviously, in the midst of the precarious situation of war Kumbakarna chose to sleep and laze. Ravana accused Kumbhakarna of a lazy, coward and stupid giant and did not care about the safety of Lanka.

The accusation of ??Ravana made Kumbhakarna angry and conversely pointed out that Ra-vana was the source of destruc-tion to Lanka. Ravana then urged Kumbhakarna to get involved in the battlefield. Although he initially refused, but to save Lanka, he finally agreed to do so. Accompanied by thousands of giants, Kumbhakarna fought against the forces of Sri Rama who was also accompanied by magical friends named Hanuman and Sugriva.

Originally, a bitter struggled occurred between Kumbhakarna and Hanuman and Sugriva. To stop a devastating rampage of Kumbha-karna, Sri Rama and Lakshamana took out the arrow bestowed by Lord Shiva, Lord Brahma and Lord Indra. One by one the leg and the hand of Kumbhakarna came off of his body. Kumbhakarna was ultimately killed by Sri Rama, an avatar of Lord Vishnu. (ocha)

To revive the cultural heritage at Pejeng village, the Gianyar government in cooperation with the Soma Negara Grand Palace at Pejeng held an art show.

According to Grandpa Sundari, a fisherman from local village, the deity venerated at the Mas Sepuh Temple was very generous. Any people who wanted to please safety either in trading business, work inspiration and prospective leader-ship in the company or government would also be granted. “After the feast of the Moslem, many Javanese pilgrims come to worship at this temple,” he said.

One of the conditions, added Grandpa Sundari, was sincerity. In essence, they came with good inten-tions and did not do harmful things to others. Employers coming to in-voke safety in running their business were from a variety of faiths. There were Chinese businessmen from various regions in Bali, including from outside Bali. “Sometimes they

come at night on holy days,” said the man who made a living on the coast every day.

It was justified by the Headman of Cemagi, Si Ketut Wirama. He said the officials who led the organization or government agency often invoked inspirations so that they could ac-complish their tasks properly. Ideas and programs often came to mind after worshipping at this temple. “Some officials often worshipped at this temple secretly. They just con-tacted the temple priest,” he said.

Nevertheless, the community wishing to perform prayers or just travel should never violate the rules such as placing dirty clothes or ob-jects in the temple area, especially on the fence or shrines. Women who got their period were not allowed to ap-proach the temple area even though

only a few meters away.Grandpa Sundari told that once

upon a time there were some people practicing their martial arts in this coastal area. Feeling to have owned a great strength, they acted arbitrarily and then put various belongings carelessly. Grandpa Sundari then told them because the area was very holy and sacred. However, they were challenging. Granpa Sundari did not respond to them but taking incense stick and said prayers.

A few minutes later, one of the men got pain and rolled over on the black sand. Being unacceptable to his advice, two other friends also experienced similar condition and they were rolling over as well. “Af-terward, they were told to apologize at the temple. Thankfully, they could regain their consciousness,” said

Grandpa Sundari.Based on the narrative of local

fishermen, the deity abiding at the Mas Sepuh Temple was Prince Mas Sepuh. His actual name was Raden Amangkuningrat, who was bet-ter known as the Kramat of Seseh Beach. He was the son of the first king of Mengwi (Hindu) and his Islamic mother came from Blam-bangan, East Java.

During his childhood, he had sep-arated from his father and was raised by his mother in Blambangan. When growing adult, he asked his mother about his father and asked permis-sion to search for him. Prince Mas Sepuh went to Bali accompanied by some royal retainers and equipped with heirloom kris dagger from the Kingdom of Mengwi.

After meeting with his father, a misunderstanding occurred as it was for the first time for them both to meet. Then, he went home to Blambangan to tell his mother about the incident. When arriving

on Seseh Beach, Prince Mas Sepuh was attacked by a group of uniden-tified armed men so the battle was avoided.

Seeing the battle claimed a few casualties from both sides, the kris dagger owned by Prince Mas Sepuh was taken out and stretched upward and it immediately gleamed and a miracle occurred. The armed groups attacking him suddenly paralyzed and kneed silently.

Ultimately, it was known if the attackers still had a familial relationship to him seen from their clothing and the visionary ability of Prince Mas Sepuh. Then, the kris dagger was put back into sheath and the attackers could move again and then paid homage to Prince Mas Sepuh.

Not long after the incident, Prince Mas Sepuh died and was buried on the spot. Until now, his grave is well maintained and always paid homage by Muslims from various parts of the archipelago. (BTN)

‘Killing of Kumbhakarna,’ Icon of Pejeng Village


TAYBEH, West Bank — A tiny Christian enclave in the overwhelm-ingly Muslim West Bank has for years crafted the only Palestinian beer and brought thousands of visitors flocking to its annual beer fest. Now, it is adding wine to its list of libations, hoping a boutique winery will be another tour-ist draw and contribute to keeping the small village afloat.

While Christians around the Middle East have seen their numbers dwindle due to conflict and the lure of better economic opportunities abroad, Taybeh has remained an exclusively Christian village, the last in the West Bank.

The family behind the wine and beer says they are carrying out “peaceful resistance” by investing in their home-land and staying put.

“This is how we believe the state of Palestine can be built: by people like us to invest in the country and encourage other Palestinians to come and invest in their country,” said Nadim Khoury, who founded the brewery and winery.

Taybeh, home to some 1,400 people, has put itself on the map because of its eponymous beer, which is sold around the world. Israelis, far from the check-points that divide them from the West Bank, also can be found sipping the honey-hued Palestinian draught.

Despite the West Bank’s majority Muslim population, which often shuns alcohol for religious reasons, Taybeh’s annual Oktoberfest, first held in 2005, has ballooned into one of the region’s must-see events, hosting diplomats, aid workers, journalists and local, mostly Christian Palestinians. The two-day fes-tival has drawn some 16,000 people.

The festival has morphed over re-cent years to include the sale of local products like honey, olive oil and col-orful embroidery. Organizers say that approach gave vendors a much needed boost in sales. The summertime Gaza war prompted organizers to cancel the event this year, saying the tense atmo-sphere was an inappropriate time for a jubilant beer festival.

Khoury said a winery was the natural next step in his business’ expansion, especially since the family has been making its own wine at home for decades.

The wine, named Nadim, which means “drinking buddy” in Arabic, is produced in an expansive room, with gleaming stainless steel equipment and oak barrels flown in from Europe. See-ing opportunity in the droves of tour-ists drawn to the beer festival, Khoury also built an 80-room boutique hotel on top of the winery. Beginning next year, visitors can drink the locally pro-

duced wine and then stagger up to their sleekly-decorated rooms overlooking rolling West Bank hills speckled with olive trees.

Khoury and his son, Canaan, who runs the winery, worked last year with an Italian winemaker to produce the first batch, made from merlot, syrah and cabernet varieties. The wine label will be launched at the end of November.

The economic development presents a rare bright spot for Christians, who now make up only about 2 percent of the population of the Holy Land. Some 38,000 Palestinian Christians live in the West Bank, among more than 2 million Muslims. An estimated 80 percent of Christian Palestinians live abroad, ac-cording to the local Roman Catholic church. Christian-Muslim relations in the Palestinian territories are far better than in many other parts of the Middle East, and communal violence is extremely rare. But Christians in the Holy Land say they suffer from Israeli restrictions and have expressed concern over the rise of political Islam across the region.

Taybeh has remained entirely Chris-tian, said David Khoury, Nadim’s brother and a former mayor, because residents refrain from selling their land to non-Christians if they leave. The brothers say they have not faced antagonism from Muslims over their products, and have offered up a non-alcoholic beer for teetotalers as well. Politics also has seeped into the wine business.

A West Bank winery run by monks is at risk because of Israel’s separation barrier, which may cut off farmers from their vineyards. Canaan Khoury also said he wants indigenous Palestinian grape varieties to be recognized as such internationally and not have the names appropriated by Israeli vintners. Israel already has a globally lauded wine-making industry. “We felt the need to establish a winery in Palestine,” said Canaan Khoury, a 23-year-old Harvard graduate.

The Khourys say they plan to remain in their ancestral village, despite the dif-ficulties of doing business under Israeli restrictions. Nadim Khoury said his shipments, including his wine-making equipment, have been delayed because of Israeli checkpoint inspections.

Taybeh Mayor Nadim Barakat said the winery, hotel and the beer festival are what’s needed to boost the village’s economy and perhaps keep Christians from leaving.

“The economy is the major point and nothing else,” he said. “We have to improve the economy in Taybeh so that people will not go, will not migrate. This is the only thing we can do.”

KEEPING SCORE: Germa-ny’s DAX declined 0.2 percent to 9,306.30 and France’s CAC-40 shed 0.1 percent to 4,228.18. Britain’s FTSE 100 was up 0.2 percent at 6,557.28. Wall Street looked set for declines follow-ing a record-high close Friday. Futures for both the Dow Jones industrial average and the Stan-dard & Poor’s 500 were off 0.1 percent.

ASIA’S DAY: China’s bench-mark Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.4 percent to 2,430.03 while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng declined 0.3 percent to 23,915.57. Tokyo was closed for a holiday but the dollar was trading at a seven-year high against the yen after the Bank of Japan’s an-nouncement Friday. Seoul shed 0.6 percent to 1,952.97. Taiwan and Singapore rose while India and Sydney declined.

CHINA FACTORIES: A gauge of Chinese manufacturing

released by a government-sanc-tioned industry group declined by 0.3 points to 50.8 on a 100-point scale on which numbers above 50 show an expansion. The market consensus had called for an increase to 51.2 points. The unexpected weakness fed concern growth in the world’s second-largest economy will decline further.

JAPAN STIMULUS: Japan’s central bank delighted investors with its announcement Friday it will step up bond purchases in hopes of stimulating spending in the world’s third-largest econ-omy. The Bank of Japan said it will increase its purchases by 10 trillion yen to 20 trillion yen ($91 billion to $181 billion) to about 80 trillion yen ($725 billion) a year. That boosted sentiment after the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision last week to end its stimulus through its quantitative easing strategy of massive bond

purchases.THE QUOTE: “The moves

from the BOJ were huge and the fact the central bank worked in such cohesion with the govern-ment shows why being long Jap-anese equities is the right trade for now,” said Chris Weston, chief market strategist at IG in Melbourne. “It’s not often you get such a clear sign that authori-ties want a higher equity market to generate monetary velocity, but that’s exactly what we are seeing.”

ENERGY: Benchmark U.S. crude was down 46 cents to $80.08 a barrel in electronic trad-ing on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 58 cents on Friday to $80.54. Brent crude, used to price international oils, was off 45 cents at $85.41 per barrel. CURRENCIES: The dollar rose to 112.88 yen from 112.33 yen late Friday. The euro fell to $1.2498 from $1.2524.

The killings have shocked Hong Kong, an Asian financial hub with a reputation as a safe city with a low rate of violent crime.

Rurik George Caton Jutting appeared briefly at a preliminary hearing at which he spoke only to confirm that he understood the two murder charges against him. Police earlier said Jutting, 29, had called them to his apartment in Hong Kong’s Wan Chai nightlife and red light district at 3:42 a.m. on Saturday.

Court documents listed his na-tionality as British and his oc-cupation as a “banker of Bank of America.” Jutting worked for the bank until recently, Bank of America Merrill Lynch spokesman Paul Scanlon said Sunday, without providing more details.

According to a police statement, officers rushed to the man’s apart-ment, where they found an unre-sponsive woman, aged 25-30, with cuts to her neck and buttock. She was pronounced dead at the scene. While investigating, police found a

suitcase on the balcony containing the body of a dead woman who had sustained neck injuries and had died a few days earlier, police said. Police also seized a knife from the 31st floor apartment in the upscale J Residence tower.

A charge sheet said a woman named Sumarti Ningsih was killed Oct. 27, indicating she was the woman whose body was found in the suitcase. It said the other person was an “unknown female.”

Indonesian Consulate spokes-woman Sam Aryadi said Sumarti came from the city of Cilacap in Central Java. He said the consul-ate was working with Hong Kong police to find out more about the second victim. Local media reports and Eni Lestari, an adviser with the Association of Indonesian Migrant Workers in Hong Kong, also indi-cated that the second woman was Indonesian.

“We are now trying to locate those victims’ families and we’re trying to let the families and rela-tives know about this very sad situ-

ation,” said Aryadi, who added that records showed Sumarti entered Hong Kong with a tourist visa on Oct. 4 and was given permission to stay until Nov. 3.

During the brief court appear-ance at Eastern Magistrates’ Court, the two murder charges were read to Jutting, who had thick stubble and wore black pants and a black T-shirt with “New York” and “Cham-pions” written on it. When asked if he understood each charge, he said “I do” twice in a calm voice. The judge granted his request to be remanded to prison detention rather than police custody. The reason for the request was unclear.

Martyn Richmond, a tempo-rary lawyer assigned to Jutting, complained that police refused to let him contact a lawyer of his choice or the British Consulate while in custody. He added that if Jutting’s requests were granted, he “may well co-operate” with a police reconstruction at the crime scene. The case was adjourned until Nov. 10.


MOJAVE, California — Virgin Galactic’s experimental spaceship broke apart in flight over California’s Mojave Desert after a device to slow the craft’s descent prematurely deployed, federal investigators said Sunday.

National Transportation Safety Board Acting Chairman Christopher Hart said that while no cause for Fri-day’s crash of SpaceShipTwo has been determined, investigators found the “feathering” system — which lifts and rotates the tail to create drag — was activated before the craft reached the appropriate speed.

The system requires a two-step process to deploy. The co-pilot un-locked the system but Hart said the second step occurred “without being commanded.”

Hart said the investigation is months from being completed, and pilot error and mechanical failure are among many things being looked at.

Co-pilot Michael Alsbury, 39, was killed. Peter Siebold, 43, who piloted the mission, parachuted to the ground and is receiving treatment at a hospital for serious injuries.

The feathering is a feature unique to the craft to help it slow as it re-enters the atmosphere. After being unlocked, a lever rotates booms at the rear of the plane up to 90 degrees so they act as a rudder. After decelerating, the booms return to their normal position and the

craft glides to Earth.Hart said the feathers activated

at Mach 1.0, the speed of sound, but shouldn’t have deployed until it had at least reached a speed of Mach 1.4, or more than 1,000 mph (1,600 kph).

Virgin Galactic — owned by bil-lion Richard Branson’s Virgin Group and Aabar Investments PJS of Abu Dhabi — plans to fly passengers to altitudes more than 62 miles (99 ki-lometers) above Earth. The company sells seats on each prospective journey for $250,000.

Branson had hoped to begin flights next year but said Saturday that the project won’t resume until the cause of the accident is determined and the problems fixed.

SpaceShipTwo tore apart Friday after the craft detached from the underside of its jet-powered mother ship and fired its rocket engine for a test flight. Initial speculation was that an explosion occurred but Hart said the fuel and oxidizer tanks and rocket engine were found and showed no sign of being burned through or breached. Virgin Galactic CEO George White-sides issued a statement Sunday.

“Now is not the time for specula-tion,” he said. “Now is the time to fo-cus on all those affected by this tragic accident and to work with the experts at the NTSB, to get to the bottom of what happened on that tragic day, and to learn from it so that we can move forward safely with this important mission.”

British banker charged in Hong Kong double killingAssociated Press Writer

HONG KONG — Hong Kong police charged a British banker on Monday with killing two women, including an Indonesian whose body was found in a suitcase on the balcony of the man’s upscale apartment, authorities said.

“This is just the first step towards improving their welfare,” President Jokowi stated while launching the Healthy Indonesia Card and Smart Indonesia Card at the Central Post Office here on Monday.

On the occasion, the president was accompanied by Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Puan Maharani, Social Minister Khofifah Indar Parawansa, and Minister of Basic and Interme-diate Education and Culture Anies Baswedan, among others.

Here, Jokowi pointed out that improving public health services at hospitals and public health clin-ics were among other measures to be taken in this regard. He further added that the distribution of these cards was expected to reach 19 districts/municipalities and nine provinces by the end of 2014.

Moreover, the head of state also explained that funding for non-cash assistance programs in the future will be increased and is expected to reach all provinces in the country. In keep-ing with this goal, he urged the public to make proper use of these cards.

According to the president, the government will gradually launch the programs of Prosperous Family Saving, Smart Indonesia, and Healthy Indonesia for the benefit of the 15.5 million disadvantaged people.

Meanwhile, Secretary of the National Team for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction (TNP2K),

Bambang Widianto, noted that the government had distributed Prosperous Family Cards (KKS), SIM Cards, Smart Indonesia Cards (KIP) and Healthy Indonesia Cards (KIS) to 1 million disadvantaged families in the preliminary stages of the programs.

“All these programs are part of a new era in the improvement of the

welfare of disadvantaged people through savings accounts, furtherance of education and provision of health services,” Widianto remarked.

He affirmed that the government had distributed KIPs to 157,943 of 1 million school-age children and KISs to 4,451,508 individuals in the preliminary stages of the programs.

Kediri -- The condition of 45-year-old GN, a patient suspected to be suffering from Ebola, showed improvements after he was quarantined in the regional hospital of RSUD Palem, Pare, East Java, a doctor said.

“The results of todays examination showed that the condition of the suspected Ebola patient was stable in terms of his vital signs, in-cluding blood tension and body temperature of 36.9 degree Celsius,” a doctor treating the patient, Harnowo, stated here on Monday.

The patient neither experienced any hemorrhage or diarrhea, nor does he feel sore due to body aches now, Harnowo added. The doctor further noted that the 45-year-old was still being treated in the isola-tion room as a precaution as he returned to Indonesia from Liberia only recently and is feared to have contracted the Ebola virus.

Authorities of RSUD Pelem in Pare of Kediri District are still awaiting the laboratory test results. Also, the patients family is still prohibited from visiting him in the isolation room of the hospital.

GN was one of the 28 Indonesian migrant workers who returned to Indonesia from Liberia on Sunday (October 26). He was admitted to the hospital after he ran a high fever and experienced pain while swallowing and sore muscles, which are all similar to symptoms of Ebola.

Earlier, another Indonesian migrant worker, who was feared to have contracted the Ebola virus, was treated in Madiun, East Java.

On Saturday (November 1), the laboratory test results of the 39-year-old patient, known by his initials as Muk, showed that his thrombosis count was low. He was also suffering from a kidney ailment.

According to his last diagnosis, the patient was confirmed to have malaria, Dr Sjaiful Anwar SpJP, who is the head of the medi-cal service department at Dr Soedono Regional Hospital where the patient is being treated, said.

However, as he had returned from an Ebola-afflicted region in Africa only recently, he was feared to have contracted the virus and was being treated in accordance with the WHO standards. These included the use of special protective gear by the medical personnel treating him.

In addition, the doctor stated that the hospital was coordinating with Dr Soetomo Hospital in Surabaya, the provincial capital of East Java, to monitor the patients condition. Before returning to Indonesia, Muk was quarantined in Liberia when he ran a high temperature.

Upon arrival at Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Jakarta, he was quar-antined for a day before being allowed to leave for his home village in Madiun. Five days later, he had high fever again and was referred to Dr Soenono Hospital where he got admitted.

AUSTIN, Texas - Money has always talked in Formula One but now, with Caterham and Marussia in administration and only nine teams in Sunday’s U.S. Grand Prix, the talk is increasingly about money itself. The cost of competing in Formula One

has become the hot topic and, with no sign of agreement on how to bring it down and share revenues more equally as smaller teams are demanding, will only become hotter.

The sport, with 19 races this year and 20 scheduled for 2015, has annual turnover in excess of $1.5 billion with more than half of that sum leaving the

sport as money due to the commercial rights holders. Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone told reporters on Saturday that the teams’ share for this year amounted to more than $900 million.

However the prize pot is not split equally among the teams, with cash paid out according to a formula based on past and present performance. “The problem is there is too much money probably being distributed badly - probably my fault,” said Ecclestone, who turned 84 last week. The latest edition of Britain’s Autosport maga-zine, in estimates corroborated by sources as accurate but not confirmed by the teams, gives a breakdown of the 2013 payouts from Formula One Management.

The sport’s oldest and most suc-cessful team Ferrari, who were paid a $32 million bonus and $62 million special share of the profits, were top with an estimated $166 million.

After them came Red Bull ($162 million), McLaren ($95 million), Mercedes ($92 million), Lotus ($65 million), Force India ($59 million), Williams ($56 million), Sauber ($52 million) and Toro Rosso ($50 million). Caterham, according to the estimate,

received $31 million and Marussia $10 million -- half the cost of an engine supply. Marussia, who were ninth in the championship before going into administration, would receive sig-nificantly more next season -- possibly around $45 million -- had they man-aged to maintain their position.

DIMINISHING RETURNSApart from the prize money, spon-

sorship and shareholder contributions represent the other main sources of revenue for teams whose budgets vary hugely. “If you look at the budgets of Marussia and then you compare the highest spender, whoever it is, Ferrari or Red Bull, you are talking about a gap from US$70 million to US$250 million,” said Mercedes motorsport head Toto Wolff in Austin.

Bringing new partners into the sport has proved increasingly difficult, with some big brands preferring to spon-sor the sport as a whole rather than individual outfits. The team outgoings have also increased considerably this season due to a change in engine, with the old V8s disappearing and replaced by a more complex V6 turbo hybrid power unit.

“The fact is that with the new

engine, which from a technology perspective is a great thing, the costs were passed on to all the teams,” said Lotus principal Gerard Lopez. “In our case this year between the engine and development we probably spent something like $50-60 million.”

There are three engine manufactur-ers in Formula One, with Honda com-ing in next year as McLaren’s partners to make it four. Mercedes and Ferrari run works teams while Red Bull are Renault’s main focus. The remaining teams have to pay for their engines and Mercedes F1’s non-executive chairman Niki Lauda said Mercedes ‘customer teams’ paid 18 million euros ($22.54 million) a year.

The teams also face other unavoid-able costs in order to compete and Lopez questioned whether it all made sense. “A GP2 team for the whole season is going to cost four million euros. Are we really that much better? I mean are we really better to the point that a team needs to spend 300 million euros to be six seconds faster?,” he asked. “If I took a financial view of this sport, comparing GP2 to F1, and the so-called law of diminishing returns, we are most probably the worst man-agers there are.”

The defending champions main-tained their recent supremacy over their fiercest rivals by winning 1-0 at Etihad Stadium, with Aguero finishing off a sweeping move in the 63rd. City now has four straight league victories against United for the first time since the 1969-70 season.

United couldn’t hold out after defender Chris Smalling was sent off in the 39th minute for two quick yellow cards and now has just 13 points from 10 matches — its lowest haul since 1986, when Ron

Atkinson was fired and replaced by Alex Ferguson.

United manager Louis van Gaal spent $250 million over the sum-mer to rebuild the team after last season’s dismal season under David Moyes but is finding results just as hard to come by. Chelsea has twice as many points as ninth-placed United after more than a quarter of the campaign.

Tottenham also benefited from a red card in Sunday’s other game, scoring two goals in the final six minutes of normal time through

Nacer Chadli and Harry Kane to beat 10-man Aston Villa 2-1.

Christian Benteke was sent off for pushing in the 65th, checking Villa’s momentum after Andreas Weimann’s first-half opener. Villa has now lost six straight games, a run that is piling the pressure on manager Paul Lambert.

After spending so long in the shadow of United in Ferguson’s trophy-filled tenure, the blue half of Manchester is basking in a period of dominance not seen in 44 years. This latest win kept City six points behind

Chelsea but it was hardly convinc-ing, despite playing against 10 men for more than half the game.

Booked needlessly in the 31st for impeding an out-of-hand clearance by goalkeeper Joe Hart, Smalling dived into a challenge on James Milner eight minutes later and was shown a second yellow card that Van Gaal labeled “stupid.”

It got worse for United when Smalling’s center-back partner, Marcos Rojo, was carried off on a stretcher in the 55th minute with a dislocated left shoulder. The visi-tors’ makeshift defense now con-sisted of two midfielders in Antonio Valencia and substitute Michael Carrick and two 19-year-olds.

When Aguero turned home a cross from Gael Clichy to score his

league-high 10th goal of the season, it looked like City would go on to win easily, but United finished the game stronger and had chances to equalize through Angel Di Maria and Marouane Fellaini.

“I have seen willpower of this team that I said to the players is fantastic,” Van Gaal said, “but we have still only 13 points out of 10 games and that is not so much.”

Van Gaal played down sugges-tions that Fellaini spat at Aguero as he stood over the striker following a first-half challenge. “I heard that it is a question on social media but that it has showed he is shouting,” Van Gaal said. “Sometimes when you shout, there is a little bit of saliva so I don’t think he is a spit-ting figure.”

Real Madrid keeper Iker Casillas believes the Euro-pean champions have a side with the potential to be one of the all-time greats and it will be with likely trepida-tion that an off-colour Liverpool visit the Bernabeu on Tuesday.

Led by Cristiano Ronaldo, Real have been in majestic form with 46 goals in their last 11 games as they have torn apart opposition in both Spain and Europe, with another win on Tuesday guaranteeing progression to the Champions League last 16.

The Group B match comes two weeks after Liverpool were easily beaten 3-0 at home by Real in the reverse fixture and that was with Carlo Ancelotti’s side easing off in the second half with El Clasico on the horizon.

They then swept aside Barcelona and hit four without reply away to Granada in another exhibition of exhilarat-ing attacking football on Saturday. “This team can make his-tory, there are good ingredients,” Casil-las told reporters.

“We are hoping to win the top trophies. We have a good mix of youngsters and older players that can show them what it is to be Madrid and how they need to play.”

Real lead the group with nine points from three games while Lu-dogorets, Liverpool and Basel all have three points.

Real, who won the King’s Cup as well as their 10th E u r o p e a n C u p last season, have hit form after los-ing two of their first three La Liga games. “The team is building on the two trophies that we won and we are looking to continue this. The results back this up and the players that have come in have a lot of quality, as did those who left ,” added Casillas.

MAIN WORRY

X a b i Alonso and Angel Di Maria departed ahead of the season but new faces Toni Kroos

and James Rodriguez have done well with the latter getting a brace against Granada.

Liverpool’s return to the Champions League for the first time in five seasons has been far from smooth sailing and though defensively they have looked shaky, their main worry is in attack for the trip with the imperious Luis Suarez long gone.

England striker Daniel Sturridge is nursing a calf injury while the unpredictable Mario Balotelli has looked laboured and Rickie Lambert lacks Champi-ons League experience.

“We’ve worked very hard over a couple of years to get to this level,” Rodgers told the club’s website (www.liverpoolfc.com).

“To play Real Madrid at the Bernabeu tells us that we’ve been doing OK. But of course, we’re in a transition phase. We want to be better and we need to be better. “We’re still very much in the group to

qualify, which is the objective. It’s a big ask playing against a rguab ly the best team in the world at the mo-ment.”

MILAN — AC Milan lost 2-0 at home to Palermo and failed to move back level with third-place Sampdoria, which beat Fiorentina 3-1 earlier Sun-day in Serie A. Cristian Zapata scored an own goal and was at fault for Paulo Dybala’s second as two goals in as many minutes consigned Milan to its second loss of the season.

Milan goalkeeper Diego Lopez also had to pull off a string of fine saves in his first appearance since mid-September. “This is football,” Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi said. “You grow also through games like this. The team gave everything it had. ... We started really well. But everything will help us grow.”

Sampdoria goalkeeper Sergio Romero saved a penalty to help his side move three points ahead of Milan and Udinese, which lost 4-2 to Genoa. Lazio can move level with a win at home to Cagliari on Monday night. Sassuolo was held to a scoreless draw at bottom club Chievo Verona and Atalanta also drew 0-0 at Torino.

Diego Lopez returned from a hamstring injury and was called into action right from the start at San Siro, making a tough one-handed save to deny Franco Vazquez. Milan also welcomed back young mid-fielder Riccardo Saponara, but Alex was injured in the third minute and had to be replaced by Zapata, who headed a corner into his own net in the 24th minute.

The Sicilian side almost doubled its lead immediately but Diego Lo-pez pulled off a fantastic stop to deny Dybala from point-blank range. However, Palermo and Dybala did

have their goal moments later when the Argentine striker shook off Za-pata and fired across Lopez and into the far side of the net.

“Paulo is a player who trains with humility and plays with great character,” Palermo Coach Giuseppe Iachini said. “He has all the creden-tials to aim for a future in a top club.” Sampdoria was keen to get back on track after a dip in form had seen it fail to win any of its past three matches.

It took the lead in the 27th min-ute when Angelo Palombo drove a penalty into the right side of goal after Alberto Aquilani had clumsily pushed over Roberto Soriano.

Palombo gave away a penalty five minutes after converting one when he brought down Khouma Babacar but Gonzalo Rodriguez’s spot-kick was weak and Romero managed to smother it. Luca Rizzo doubled Sampdoria’s lead two min-utes from the break, dribbling past two defenders at the byline before sending in a low drive to set club president Massimo Ferrero dancing in the stands.

There was still time before the break for Stefan Savic to get Fioren-tina back in the match with a tower-ing header from a corner. Fiorentina was further boosted when Mario Gomez made his comeback from injury, coming on in the 69th min-ute for his first appearance since September.

But Eder made sure of the points 12 minutes from time with a stunning solo effort, starting his run in his own half and beating three Fiorentina players. Sampdoria moved a point above Napoli and three behind second-placed Roma.


PARIS — Marseille maintained its four-point lead atop the French league by defeating struggling Lens 2-1 on Sunday. Marseille winger Florian Thauvin scored the winning goal with a shot into the top corner in the 60th minute.

Cameroon defender Nicolas Nk-oulou powered home a header to give the hosts the lead in the 10th,

but Lens forward Baptiste Guillaume equalized with a low strike in the 31st. Marseille was down to 10 men in the 76th when midfielder Alaixys Romao picked up a second yellow card.

“We gave them some hope in the first half,” Marseille defender Rod Fanni said. “We made quite a few mistakes and helped them a little bit get back into the match.”

Elsewhere, Bordeaux climbed to fourth place by edging Toulouse 2-1 while Nantes slipped to sixth by

drawing 1-1 with Rennes.Marseille was looking to bounce

back from two straight losses in all competitions and took the lead when Nkoulou headed home a cor-ner from Thauvin.

However, Lens troubled the hosts by aggressively pressing high up the pitch. Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda punched away a 30-yard drive from Jerome Le Moi-gne in the 18th. Romao was lucky to only receive a yellow card in

the 23rd for holding Lens forward Pablo Chavarria, who was clean through on goal. Lens capitalized on a counterattack to level when Guillaume cut inside Rod Fanni to shoot past Mandanda.

Struggling to build up attacks, Marseille relied on set pieces to threaten. Thauvin met a corner from Dimitri Payet in the 38th but his volley was cleared off the line by Lens midfielder Wylan Cyprien.

Marseille tightened its control

over the game in the second half. Andre-Pierre Gignac beat the off-side trap to square the ball back to Thauvin, who scored with a side-footed finish from 12 yards.

Lens put Marseille under pres-sure in the closing minutes fol-lowing Romao’s sending off for a cynical foul on Cyprien. However, Mandanda preserved the win in stoppage time by denying Lens substitute Yoann Touzghar with a leg save.

Lazio can move level with a win at home to Cagliari on Monday night. Sassuolo was held to a scoreless draw at bottom club Chievo Verona and Atalanta also drew 0-0 at Torino.

Diego Lopez returned from a hamstring injury and was called into action right from the start at San Siro, making a tough one-handed save to deny Franco Vazquez. Milan also welcomed back young mid-fielder Riccardo Saponara, but Alex was injured in the third minute and had to be replaced by Zapata, who headed a corner into his own net in the 24th minute.

The Sicilian side almost doubled its lead immediately but Diego Lo-pez pulled off a fantastic stop to deny Dybala from point-blank range. However, Palermo and Dybala did

have their goal moments later when the Argentine striker shook off Za-pata and fired across Lopez and into the far side of the net.

“Paulo is a player who trains with humility and plays with great character,” Palermo Coach Giuseppe Iachini said. “He has all the creden-tials to aim for a future in a top club.” Sampdoria was keen to get back on track after a dip in form had seen it fail to win any of its past three matches.

It took the lead in the 27th min-ute when Angelo Palombo drove a penalty into the right side of goal after Alberto Aquilani had clumsily pushed over Roberto Soriano.

Palombo gave away a penalty five minutes after converting one when he brought down Khouma Babacar but Gonzalo Rodriguez’s spot-kick was weak and Romero managed to smother it. Luca Rizzo doubled Sampdoria’s lead two min-utes from the break, dribbling past two defenders at the byline before sending in a low drive to set club president Massimo Ferrero dancing in the stands.

There was still time before the break for Stefan Savic to get Fioren-tina back in the match with a tower-ing header from a corner. Fiorentina was further boosted when Mario Gomez made his comeback from injury, coming on in the 69th min-ute for his first appearance since September.

But Eder made sure of the points 12 minutes from time with a stunning solo effort, starting his run in his own half and beating three Fiorentina players. Sampdoria moved a point above Napoli and three behind second-placed Roma.


PARIS — Marseille maintained its four-point lead atop the French league by defeating struggling Lens 2-1 on Sunday. Marseille winger Florian Thauvin scored the winning goal with a shot into the top corner in the 60th minute.

Cameroon defender Nicolas Nk-oulou powered home a header to give the hosts the lead in the 10th,

but Lens forward Baptiste Guillaume equalized with a low strike in the 31st. Marseille was down to 10 men in the 76th when midfielder Alaixys Romao picked up a second yellow card.

“We gave them some hope in the first half,” Marseille defender Rod Fanni said. “We made quite a few mistakes and helped them a little bit get back into the match.”

Elsewhere, Bordeaux climbed to fourth place by edging Toulouse 2-1 while Nantes slipped to sixth by

drawing 1-1 with Rennes.Marseille was looking to bounce

back from two straight losses in all competitions and took the lead when Nkoulou headed home a cor-ner from Thauvin.

However, Lens troubled the hosts by aggressively pressing high up the pitch. Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda punched away a 30-yard drive from Jerome Le Moi-gne in the 18th. Romao was lucky to only receive a yellow card in

the 23rd for holding Lens forward Pablo Chavarria, who was clean through on goal. Lens capitalized on a counterattack to level when Guillaume cut inside Rod Fanni to shoot past Mandanda.

Struggling to build up attacks, Marseille relied on set pieces to threaten. Thauvin met a corner from Dimitri Payet in the 38th but his volley was cleared off the line by Lens midfielder Wylan Cyprien.

Marseille tightened its control

over the game in the second half. Andre-Pierre Gignac beat the off-side trap to square the ball back to Thauvin, who scored with a side-footed finish from 12 yards.

Lens put Marseille under pres-sure in the closing minutes fol-lowing Romao’s sending off for a cynical foul on Cyprien. However, Mandanda preserved the win in stoppage time by denying Lens substitute Yoann Touzghar with a leg save.

AUSTIN, Texas - Money has always talked in Formula One but now, with Caterham and Marussia in administration and only nine teams in Sunday’s U.S. Grand Prix, the talk is increasingly about money itself. The cost of competing in Formula One

has become the hot topic and, with no sign of agreement on how to bring it down and share revenues more equally as smaller teams are demanding, will only become hotter.

The sport, with 19 races this year and 20 scheduled for 2015, has annual turnover in excess of $1.5 billion with more than half of that sum leaving the

sport as money due to the commercial rights holders. Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone told reporters on Saturday that the teams’ share for this year amounted to more than $900 million.

However the prize pot is not split equally among the teams, with cash paid out according to a formula based on past and present performance. “The problem is there is too much money probably being distributed badly - probably my fault,” said Ecclestone, who turned 84 last week. The latest edition of Britain’s Autosport maga-zine, in estimates corroborated by sources as accurate but not confirmed by the teams, gives a breakdown of the 2013 payouts from Formula One Management.

The sport’s oldest and most suc-cessful team Ferrari, who were paid a $32 million bonus and $62 million special share of the profits, were top with an estimated $166 million.

After them came Red Bull ($162 million), McLaren ($95 million), Mercedes ($92 million), Lotus ($65 million), Force India ($59 million), Williams ($56 million), Sauber ($52 million) and Toro Rosso ($50 million). Caterham, according to the estimate,

received $31 million and Marussia $10 million -- half the cost of an engine supply. Marussia, who were ninth in the championship before going into administration, would receive sig-nificantly more next season -- possibly around $45 million -- had they man-aged to maintain their position.

DIMINISHING RETURNSApart from the prize money, spon-

sorship and shareholder contributions represent the other main sources of revenue for teams whose budgets vary hugely. “If you look at the budgets of Marussia and then you compare the highest spender, whoever it is, Ferrari or Red Bull, you are talking about a gap from US$70 million to US$250 million,” said Mercedes motorsport head Toto Wolff in Austin.

Bringing new partners into the sport has proved increasingly difficult, with some big brands preferring to spon-sor the sport as a whole rather than individual outfits. The team outgoings have also increased considerably this season due to a change in engine, with the old V8s disappearing and replaced by a more complex V6 turbo hybrid power unit.

“The fact is that with the new

engine, which from a technology perspective is a great thing, the costs were passed on to all the teams,” said Lotus principal Gerard Lopez. “In our case this year between the engine and development we probably spent something like $50-60 million.”

There are three engine manufactur-ers in Formula One, with Honda com-ing in next year as McLaren’s partners to make it four. Mercedes and Ferrari run works teams while Red Bull are Renault’s main focus. The remaining teams have to pay for their engines and Mercedes F1’s non-executive chairman Niki Lauda said Mercedes ‘customer teams’ paid 18 million euros ($22.54 million) a year.

The teams also face other unavoid-able costs in order to compete and Lopez questioned whether it all made sense. “A GP2 team for the whole season is going to cost four million euros. Are we really that much better? I mean are we really better to the point that a team needs to spend 300 million euros to be six seconds faster?,” he asked. “If I took a financial view of this sport, comparing GP2 to F1, and the so-called law of diminishing returns, we are most probably the worst man-agers there are.”

From page 1On the other hand, the subdistrict head of East Selemadeg, I Gusti Putu

Ngurah Darma Utama, confirmed that the area was originally green belt but had recently been revoked and kindled a polemic. gWe cannot do much. It was a green belt area, but has now been revoked,h he explained.

Previously, the Tabanan House proposed to immediately set up a special committee in order the muffle the polemic. Even, Chairman of the Tabanan House, I Ketut eBopingf Suryadi when asked for his confirmation said that his party would conduct a study related to the change in the designation. gThis will become one of the priorities in the discussion in the Tabanan House other than the main regional budget 2015.

The killings have shocked Hong Kong, an Asian financial hub with a reputation as a safe city with a low rate of violent crime.

Rurik George Caton Jutting appeared briefly at a preliminary hearing at which he spoke only to confirm that he understood the two murder charges against him. Police earlier said Jutting, 29, had called them to his apartment in Hong Kong’s Wan Chai nightlife and red light district at 3:42 a.m. on Saturday.

Court documents listed his na-tionality as British and his oc-cupation as a “banker of Bank of America.” Jutting worked for the bank until recently, Bank of America Merrill Lynch spokesman Paul Scanlon said Sunday, without providing more details.

According to a police statement, officers rushed to the man’s apart-ment, where they found an unre-sponsive woman, aged 25-30, with cuts to her neck and buttock. She was pronounced dead at the scene. While investigating, police found a

suitcase on the balcony containing the body of a dead woman who had sustained neck injuries and had died a few days earlier, police said. Police also seized a knife from the 31st floor apartment in the upscale J Residence tower.

A charge sheet said a woman named Sumarti Ningsih was killed Oct. 27, indicating she was the woman whose body was found in the suitcase. It said the other person was an “unknown female.”

Indonesian Consulate spokes-woman Sam Aryadi said Sumarti came from the city of Cilacap in Central Java. He said the consul-ate was working with Hong Kong police to find out more about the second victim. Local media reports and Eni Lestari, an adviser with the Association of Indonesian Migrant Workers in Hong Kong, also indi-cated that the second woman was Indonesian.

“We are now trying to locate those victims’ families and we’re trying to let the families and rela-tives know about this very sad situ-

ation,” said Aryadi, who added that records showed Sumarti entered Hong Kong with a tourist visa on Oct. 4 and was given permission to stay until Nov. 3.

During the brief court appear-ance at Eastern Magistrates’ Court, the two murder charges were read to Jutting, who had thick stubble and wore black pants and a black T-shirt with “New York” and “Cham-pions” written on it. When asked if he understood each charge, he said “I do” twice in a calm voice. The judge granted his request to be remanded to prison detention rather than police custody. The reason for the request was unclear.

Martyn Richmond, a tempo-rary lawyer assigned to Jutting, complained that police refused to let him contact a lawyer of his choice or the British Consulate while in custody. He added that if Jutting’s requests were granted, he “may well co-operate” with a police reconstruction at the crime scene. The case was adjourned until Nov. 10.


MOJAVE, California — Virgin Galactic’s experimental spaceship broke apart in flight over California’s Mojave Desert after a device to slow the craft’s descent prematurely deployed, federal investigators said Sunday.

National Transportation Safety Board Acting Chairman Christopher Hart said that while no cause for Fri-day’s crash of SpaceShipTwo has been determined, investigators found the “feathering” system — which lifts and rotates the tail to create drag — was activated before the craft reached the appropriate speed.

The system requires a two-step process to deploy. The co-pilot un-locked the system but Hart said the second step occurred “without being commanded.”

Hart said the investigation is months from being completed, and pilot error and mechanical failure are among many things being looked at.

Co-pilot Michael Alsbury, 39, was killed. Peter Siebold, 43, who piloted the mission, parachuted to the ground and is receiving treatment at a hospital for serious injuries.

The feathering is a feature unique to the craft to help it slow as it re-enters the atmosphere. After being unlocked, a lever rotates booms at the rear of the plane up to 90 degrees so they act as a rudder. After decelerating, the booms return to their normal position and the

craft glides to Earth.Hart said the feathers activated

at Mach 1.0, the speed of sound, but shouldn’t have deployed until it had at least reached a speed of Mach 1.4, or more than 1,000 mph (1,600 kph).

Virgin Galactic — owned by bil-lion Richard Branson’s Virgin Group and Aabar Investments PJS of Abu Dhabi — plans to fly passengers to altitudes more than 62 miles (99 ki-lometers) above Earth. The company sells seats on each prospective journey for $250,000.

Branson had hoped to begin flights next year but said Saturday that the project won’t resume until the cause of the accident is determined and the problems fixed.

SpaceShipTwo tore apart Friday after the craft detached from the underside of its jet-powered mother ship and fired its rocket engine for a test flight. Initial speculation was that an explosion occurred but Hart said the fuel and oxidizer tanks and rocket engine were found and showed no sign of being burned through or breached. Virgin Galactic CEO George White-sides issued a statement Sunday.

“Now is not the time for specula-tion,” he said. “Now is the time to fo-cus on all those affected by this tragic accident and to work with the experts at the NTSB, to get to the bottom of what happened on that tragic day, and to learn from it so that we can move forward safely with this important mission.”

British banker charged in Hong Kong double killingAssociated Press Writer

HONG KONG — Hong Kong police charged a British banker on Monday with killing two women, including an Indonesian whose body was found in a suitcase on the balcony of the man’s upscale apartment, authorities said.

“This is just the first step towards improving their welfare,” President Jokowi stated while launching the Healthy Indonesia Card and Smart Indonesia Card at the Central Post Office here on Monday.

On the occasion, the president was accompanied by Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Puan Maharani, Social Minister Khofifah Indar Parawansa, and Minister of Basic and Interme-diate Education and Culture Anies Baswedan, among others.

Here, Jokowi pointed out that improving public health services at hospitals and public health clin-ics were among other measures to be taken in this regard. He further added that the distribution of these cards was expected to reach 19 districts/municipalities and nine provinces by the end of 2014.

Moreover, the head of state also explained that funding for non-cash assistance programs in the future will be increased and is expected to reach all provinces in the country. In keep-ing with this goal, he urged the public to make proper use of these cards.

According to the president, the government will gradually launch the programs of Prosperous Family Saving, Smart Indonesia, and Healthy Indonesia for the benefit of the 15.5 million disadvantaged people.

Meanwhile, Secretary of the National Team for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction (TNP2K),

Bambang Widianto, noted that the government had distributed Prosperous Family Cards (KKS), SIM Cards, Smart Indonesia Cards (KIP) and Healthy Indonesia Cards (KIS) to 1 million disadvantaged families in the preliminary stages of the programs.

“All these programs are part of a new era in the improvement of the

welfare of disadvantaged people through savings accounts, furtherance of education and provision of health services,” Widianto remarked.

He affirmed that the government had distributed KIPs to 157,943 of 1 million school-age children and KISs to 4,451,508 individuals in the preliminary stages of the programs.

Kediri -- The condition of 45-year-old GN, a patient suspected to be suffering from Ebola, showed improvements after he was quarantined in the regional hospital of RSUD Palem, Pare, East Java, a doctor said.

“The results of todays examination showed that the condition of the suspected Ebola patient was stable in terms of his vital signs, in-cluding blood tension and body temperature of 36.9 degree Celsius,” a doctor treating the patient, Harnowo, stated here on Monday.

The patient neither experienced any hemorrhage or diarrhea, nor does he feel sore due to body aches now, Harnowo added. The doctor further noted that the 45-year-old was still being treated in the isola-tion room as a precaution as he returned to Indonesia from Liberia only recently and is feared to have contracted the Ebola virus.

Authorities of RSUD Pelem in Pare of Kediri District are still awaiting the laboratory test results. Also, the patients family is still prohibited from visiting him in the isolation room of the hospital.

GN was one of the 28 Indonesian migrant workers who returned to Indonesia from Liberia on Sunday (October 26). He was admitted to the hospital after he ran a high fever and experienced pain while swallowing and sore muscles, which are all similar to symptoms of Ebola.

Earlier, another Indonesian migrant worker, who was feared to have contracted the Ebola virus, was treated in Madiun, East Java.

On Saturday (November 1), the laboratory test results of the 39-year-old patient, known by his initials as Muk, showed that his thrombosis count was low. He was also suffering from a kidney ailment.

According to his last diagnosis, the patient was confirmed to have malaria, Dr Sjaiful Anwar SpJP, who is the head of the medi-cal service department at Dr Soedono Regional Hospital where the patient is being treated, said.

However, as he had returned from an Ebola-afflicted region in Africa only recently, he was feared to have contracted the virus and was being treated in accordance with the WHO standards. These included the use of special protective gear by the medical personnel treating him.

In addition, the doctor stated that the hospital was coordinating with Dr Soetomo Hospital in Surabaya, the provincial capital of East Java, to monitor the patients condition. Before returning to Indonesia, Muk was quarantined in Liberia when he ran a high temperature.

Upon arrival at Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Jakarta, he was quar-antined for a day before being allowed to leave for his home village in Madiun. Five days later, he had high fever again and was referred to Dr Soenono Hospital where he got admitted.

To revive the cultural heritage at Pejeng village, the Gianyar government in cooperation with the Soma Negara Grand Palace at Pejeng held an art show. It was

organized at the palace by featur-ing classical art in the form of psalmody, shadow puppet, human puppet and Kecak Dance entitled ‘The Killing of Kumbhakarna.’

Headman of Pejeng, Cokorda Rai Widiarsa Pemayun, deliv-ered that utilization of the Soma Negara Grand Palace as a vehicle of staging was very important. It

was meant to maintain and pre-serve the history of culture. In ad-dition to royal palace, the Pejeng village environment also played a role in the success of the event. On that account, the arrangement began to be made from the envi-ronment surrounding the palace including the Pejeng village.

The performing art entitled ‘The Killing of Kumbhakarna’ also received positive feedback from the royal family. One of them was Cokorda Raka. His party was very glad to participate in preserving the culture. “Our palace is composed of three parts, namely the outermost, middle and innermost courtyard and it is open to the public except for the sacred area,” he explained.

Chairman of the Organizing Committee, Yoke Darmawan, explained the performance was one of the arts that would be raised by Pejeng village. Concept of the story and ideas were com-piled by Prof. Dr I Wayan Dibia along with I Made Sidia served as the Art Director and Arranger. The first performance took place successfully on October 8. As planned, this event would be held every full moon as the icon of Pejeng village.

Ramayana

Kumbhakarna is a powerful and brave giant of Lanka. He has an elder brother named king Ravana. However, the brother Ravana committed evil deeds by

abducting Sita, the wife of Sri Rama. This incident caused Sri Rama and his monkey army to at-tack Lanka in the battlefield. It is the part of the Ramayana epic.

One by one of the Lanka troops were killed. King Ravana was angry and expressed his anger to Kumbhakarna. Obviously, in the midst of the precarious situation of war Kumbakarna chose to sleep and laze. Ravana accused Kumbhakarna of a lazy, coward and stupid giant and did not care about the safety of Lanka.

The accusation of ??Ravana made Kumbhakarna angry and conversely pointed out that Ra-vana was the source of destruc-tion to Lanka. Ravana then urged Kumbhakarna to get involved in the battlefield. Although he initially refused, but to save Lanka, he finally agreed to do so. Accompanied by thousands of giants, Kumbhakarna fought against the forces of Sri Rama who was also accompanied by magical friends named Hanuman and Sugriva.

Originally, a bitter struggled occurred between Kumbhakarna and Hanuman and Sugriva. To stop a devastating rampage of Kumbha-karna, Sri Rama and Lakshamana took out the arrow bestowed by Lord Shiva, Lord Brahma and Lord Indra. One by one the leg and the hand of Kumbhakarna came off of his body. Kumbhakarna was ultimately killed by Sri Rama, an avatar of Lord Vishnu. (ocha)

To revive the cultural heritage at Pejeng village, the Gianyar government in cooperation with the Soma Negara Grand Palace at Pejeng held an art show.

According to Grandpa Sundari, a fisherman from local village, the deity venerated at the Mas Sepuh Temple was very generous. Any people who wanted to please safety either in trading business, work inspiration and prospective leader-ship in the company or government would also be granted. “After the feast of the Moslem, many Javanese pilgrims come to worship at this temple,” he said.

One of the conditions, added Grandpa Sundari, was sincerity. In essence, they came with good inten-tions and did not do harmful things to others. Employers coming to in-voke safety in running their business were from a variety of faiths. There were Chinese businessmen from various regions in Bali, including from outside Bali. “Sometimes they

come at night on holy days,” said the man who made a living on the coast every day.

It was justified by the Headman of Cemagi, Si Ketut Wirama. He said the officials who led the organization or government agency often invoked inspirations so that they could ac-complish their tasks properly. Ideas and programs often came to mind after worshipping at this temple. “Some officials often worshipped at this temple secretly. They just con-tacted the temple priest,” he said.

Nevertheless, the community wishing to perform prayers or just travel should never violate the rules such as placing dirty clothes or ob-jects in the temple area, especially on the fence or shrines. Women who got their period were not allowed to ap-proach the temple area even though

only a few meters away.Grandpa Sundari told that once

upon a time there were some people practicing their martial arts in this coastal area. Feeling to have owned a great strength, they acted arbitrarily and then put various belongings carelessly. Grandpa Sundari then told them because the area was very holy and sacred. However, they were challenging. Granpa Sundari did not respond to them but taking incense stick and said prayers.

A few minutes later, one of the men got pain and rolled over on the black sand. Being unacceptable to his advice, two other friends also experienced similar condition and they were rolling over as well. “Af-terward, they were told to apologize at the temple. Thankfully, they could regain their consciousness,” said

Grandpa Sundari.Based on the narrative of local

fishermen, the deity abiding at the Mas Sepuh Temple was Prince Mas Sepuh. His actual name was Raden Amangkuningrat, who was bet-ter known as the Kramat of Seseh Beach. He was the son of the first king of Mengwi (Hindu) and his Islamic mother came from Blam-bangan, East Java.

During his childhood, he had sep-arated from his father and was raised by his mother in Blambangan. When growing adult, he asked his mother about his father and asked permis-sion to search for him. Prince Mas Sepuh went to Bali accompanied by some royal retainers and equipped with heirloom kris dagger from the Kingdom of Mengwi.

After meeting with his father, a misunderstanding occurred as it was for the first time for them both to meet. Then, he went home to Blambangan to tell his mother about the incident. When arriving

on Seseh Beach, Prince Mas Sepuh was attacked by a group of uniden-tified armed men so the battle was avoided.

Seeing the battle claimed a few casualties from both sides, the kris dagger owned by Prince Mas Sepuh was taken out and stretched upward and it immediately gleamed and a miracle occurred. The armed groups attacking him suddenly paralyzed and kneed silently.

Ultimately, it was known if the attackers still had a familial relationship to him seen from their clothing and the visionary ability of Prince Mas Sepuh. Then, the kris dagger was put back into sheath and the attackers could move again and then paid homage to Prince Mas Sepuh.

Not long after the incident, Prince Mas Sepuh died and was buried on the spot. Until now, his grave is well maintained and always paid homage by Muslims from various parts of the archipelago. (BTN)

‘Killing of Kumbhakarna,’ Icon of Pejeng Village


TAYBEH, West Bank — A tiny Christian enclave in the overwhelm-ingly Muslim West Bank has for years crafted the only Palestinian beer and brought thousands of visitors flocking to its annual beer fest. Now, it is adding wine to its list of libations, hoping a boutique winery will be another tour-ist draw and contribute to keeping the small village afloat.

While Christians around the Middle East have seen their numbers dwindle due to conflict and the lure of better economic opportunities abroad, Taybeh has remained an exclusively Christian village, the last in the West Bank.

The family behind the wine and beer says they are carrying out “peaceful resistance” by investing in their home-land and staying put.

“This is how we believe the state of Palestine can be built: by people like us to invest in the country and encourage other Palestinians to come and invest in their country,” said Nadim Khoury, who founded the brewery and winery.

Taybeh, home to some 1,400 people, has put itself on the map because of its eponymous beer, which is sold around the world. Israelis, far from the check-points that divide them from the West Bank, also can be found sipping the honey-hued Palestinian draught.

Despite the West Bank’s majority Muslim population, which often shuns alcohol for religious reasons, Taybeh’s annual Oktoberfest, first held in 2005, has ballooned into one of the region’s must-see events, hosting diplomats, aid workers, journalists and local, mostly Christian Palestinians. The two-day fes-tival has drawn some 16,000 people.

The festival has morphed over re-cent years to include the sale of local products like honey, olive oil and col-orful embroidery. Organizers say that approach gave vendors a much needed boost in sales. The summertime Gaza war prompted organizers to cancel the event this year, saying the tense atmo-sphere was an inappropriate time for a jubilant beer festival.

Khoury said a winery was the natural next step in his business’ expansion, especially since the family has been making its own wine at home for decades.

The wine, named Nadim, which means “drinking buddy” in Arabic, is produced in an expansive room, with gleaming stainless steel equipment and oak barrels flown in from Europe. See-ing opportunity in the droves of tour-ists drawn to the beer festival, Khoury also built an 80-room boutique hotel on top of the winery. Beginning next year, visitors can drink the locally pro-

duced wine and then stagger up to their sleekly-decorated rooms overlooking rolling West Bank hills speckled with olive trees.

Khoury and his son, Canaan, who runs the winery, worked last year with an Italian winemaker to produce the first batch, made from merlot, syrah and cabernet varieties. The wine label will be launched at the end of November.

The economic development presents a rare bright spot for Christians, who now make up only about 2 percent of the population of the Holy Land. Some 38,000 Palestinian Christians live in the West Bank, among more than 2 million Muslims. An estimated 80 percent of Christian Palestinians live abroad, ac-cording to the local Roman Catholic church. Christian-Muslim relations in the Palestinian territories are far better than in many other parts of the Middle East, and communal violence is extremely rare. But Christians in the Holy Land say they suffer from Israeli restrictions and have expressed concern over the rise of political Islam across the region.

Taybeh has remained entirely Chris-tian, said David Khoury, Nadim’s brother and a former mayor, because residents refrain from selling their land to non-Christians if they leave. The brothers say they have not faced antagonism from Muslims over their products, and have offered up a non-alcoholic beer for teetotalers as well. Politics also has seeped into the wine business.

A West Bank winery run by monks is at risk because of Israel’s separation barrier, which may cut off farmers from their vineyards. Canaan Khoury also said he wants indigenous Palestinian grape varieties to be recognized as such internationally and not have the names appropriated by Israeli vintners. Israel already has a globally lauded wine-making industry. “We felt the need to establish a winery in Palestine,” said Canaan Khoury, a 23-year-old Harvard graduate.

The Khourys say they plan to remain in their ancestral village, despite the dif-ficulties of doing business under Israeli restrictions. Nadim Khoury said his shipments, including his wine-making equipment, have been delayed because of Israeli checkpoint inspections.

Taybeh Mayor Nadim Barakat said the winery, hotel and the beer festival are what’s needed to boost the village’s economy and perhaps keep Christians from leaving.

“The economy is the major point and nothing else,” he said. “We have to improve the economy in Taybeh so that people will not go, will not migrate. This is the only thing we can do.”

JAPAN STIMULUS: Japan’s central bank delighted investors with its announcement Friday it will step up bond purchases in hopes of stimulating spending in the world’s third-largest econ-omy. The Bank of Japan said it will increase its purchases by 10 trillion yen to 20 trillion yen ($91 billion to $181 billion) to about 80 trillion yen ($725 billion) a year. That boosted sentiment after the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision last week to end its stimulus through its quantitative easing strategy of massive bond

purchases.THE QUOTE: “The moves

from the BOJ were huge and the fact the central bank worked in such cohesion with the govern-ment shows why being long Jap-anese equities is the right trade for now,” said Chris Weston, chief market strategist at IG in Melbourne. “It’s not often you get such a clear sign that authori-ties want a higher equity market to generate monetary velocity, but that’s exactly what we are seeing.”

CAIRO — At least 210 peo-ple were killed in fighting in Libya’s eastern city of Benghazi since troops loyal to the country’s elected government launched an attempt to re-take the city from Islamist militias two weeks earlier, a medical official said Sunday.

The official would not identify those killed, or say whether they included government troops, in-dicating that the battle for control of Benghazi has not yet been settled.

The turmoil in Benghazi started when renegade Gen. Khalifa Hift-er — a former Gadhafi army chief who joined the opposition decades before the uprising — launched a campaign against Islamist militias which were implicated in series of assassinations and attacks on journalists, activists, and security forces in the city.

Hifter won support among large sectors of Libyans but the army units loosely allied with him were

defeated and forced to leave the city by Islamist militias.

Then, the internationally recog-nized government, led by Abdul-lah al-Thinni, joined ranks with Hifter and on Oct. 15, launched a wide offensive to retake the city. Until then, Hifter troops had largely fought from bases outside the city.

On Sunday, a security official in Benghazi said government troops have entered a new neighborhood in the city. The official said the troops are carrying out a wave of arrests against Islamist militias and have arrested one of their spokesmen. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to brief reporters.

Libya is witnessing one of the worst spasms of violence since the downfall of longtime dicta-tor Moammar Gadhafi. Powerful militias, who had fought to bring Gadhafi down, took control of the country, challenging the authority of central government.

Kaci Hickox said in an interview with the Maine Sunday Telegram that she was fighting for the rights of other U.S. medical workers who are trying to bring the deadly outbreak under control in West Africa.

After she arrived in Maine last week, state health officials went to court in an attempt to bar her from crowded public places. A judge ruled Friday she must continue daily monitoring of her health but can go wherever she pleases. Maine Gov. Paul LePage said he disagreed with the ruling but would abide by it.

“I hope in six months aid work-ers returning back can be unno-ticed,” Hickox told the newspaper. “They won’t be in the media like I was, I hope. And they can walk into a grocery store and maybe no one even knows they were working in a country with Ebola, but one day I hope everyone can know and still smile at them in the grocery store. I know that won’t happen today.”

Hickox, 33, told the newspaper that she will respect the wishes of town residents and avoid going into

town during the illness’s 21-day in-cubation period, which for her ends Nov. 10. She was criticized by some who said she wasn’t considering the public’s well-being by resisting the quarantine.

“I didn’t mean to bring this media storm onto this community, either, but I think unfortunately sometimes, especially when up against governors, you don’t always have an option,” she said. “I don’t feel like I was given an option.”

Hickox is originally from Rio Vista, Texas, and worked in Indo-nesia, Burma, the Darfur region of Sudan and Nigeria before returning to the U.S. to earn masters’ degrees in public health and nursing. She went to Sierra Leone this summer with Doctors Without Borders when the Ebola outbreak erupted.

She told the paper that she didn’t count the number of people who died, only the number of survivors: 39 during her time. But she still remembers the victims. On her last night in the country, she treated a little girl who didn’t survive.

“I don’t remember her exact age. I think she was 10, but to watch a 10-year-old die alone, in a tent and know there wasn’t anything you could do . it’s hard,” she said.

Hickox contended that the state’s

confining her to her home in what it called a voluntary quarantine violated her rights and was unsup-ported by science. She defied the restrictions twice, once to go on a bike ride and once to talk to the me-

dia and shake a reporter’s hand.In his ruling, the judge thanked

Hickox for her service in Africa and acknowledged the gravity of restrict-ing someone’s constitutional rights without solid science to back it up.

Singaraja (Bali Post)—

Mango farmers at Depeha village, Kubutambahan subdistrict, appreciated the breakthrough program encouraged by the Regent of Buleleng Putu Agus Suradnyana. It was rolled out early in 2013 in an effort to increase the pro-ductivity of mangos at the local village. At this time, the productivity of mango produced by farmers has increased by 50 percent.

One of the mango farmers, Jro Mangku Alit, said that his mango yields increased after the Regent Suradnyana rolled out a demonstra-tion plot in an area of 1 hectare. The increasing productivity of mango trees is due to the use of organic fertilizer with a dose of 50 kilograms to each of the 10-year-old mango tree. After that, they were given NPK Phonska, as much as 2 kg per tree. Besides, farmers also pruned the unproductive branches.

With special and careful mainte-nance, Mangku Alit said that each tree was capable of yielding 40-50 kg to 55-60 kg in one harvest. Estimation of the fertilization results and harvest yield obtained, had made farmers feel comfortable to persistently cultivate mangos on this land. However, before the program was launched, a lot of farmers wanted to switch profes-sions towards unskilled labor. Market demands have increased in keeping with the development of gradually im-proved mango production. “We would like to thank Mr. Regent Suradnyana for his breakthrough program. So far, the demand for mangos continues to increase, including from supermarkets. Some buyers from outside the area often come directly to our village and buy large quantities,” he said, Saturday (Nov 1).

Meanwhile, the Regent of Buleleng, Putu Agus Suradnyana, accompanied by the Head of Buleleng Agriculture and Livestock Agency Nyoman Swatantra and the Head of Forestry and Plantation Agency Ketut Nerda explained that the inspection agenda carried out could become an effective solution by taking a closer look at the problems and get-ting to know the potential progress of this and other government programs, especially in agriculture. The regent wanted to get an idea about how effec-tive the project was, when drafting the regional budget for the agricultural sec-tor so that later on he could put it into the main regional budget for 2015. “To set priorities for the agricultural sector for next year, we need to discuss with farmers in the villages,” he concluded. (kmb34)

According to information gathered at the scene, the stage set up by the committee was located on the south facing north. The 8 x 6 meters stage was originally intended for VIP guests. A number of guests including the Regent of Buleleng Putu Agus Suradnyana were present at the national championship. A few moments later, the special invitees including the regent left the race arena. The two-story stage was then thronged by spectators, both adults and children. The stage was built with a steel frame -five mil-limeters thick, and plywood. Both the lower and the upper stage was filled with spectators.

Around 1:30 p.m. just as the race was start-ing, the stage suddenly collapsed. The plywood and wooden beams gave way under the heavy load of the spectators on the upper level. Of course, the spectators from the upper level fell down and hit the spectators beneath. As a result, dozens of spectators were injured with some becoming unconscious. The incident also caused panic. The victims were rushed to the Emergency Room at Buleleng Hospital by a PMI Buleleng ambulence. The victims suffered broken bones, one leg and a hand as well as wounds to the head and abrasions. The injuries occurred due to the collision of the collapsed wooden and iron frame and the trampling by the crowds on it.

Managing Director of the Buleleng Hospital,

Gede Wiartana, who came down in person to serve the victims said that there were 11 mo-tor cross spectators, treated in the Emergency Room. Two of the victims suffered severe inju-ries and had to be hospitalized for a few days. The two victims were Bayu Yoga Sucita, 9, from Kanginan hamlet, Kanginan village, Kubutam-bahan subdistrict. Bayu suffered a broken bone on right hand and right thigh and swelling of the head caused by the falling stage. In addition, another victim was hospitalized due to severe head injuries: Eli Purnawati from Kayuputih, Banjar subdistrict.

Meanwhile, as of Sunday night the other victims were still under observation. These are: Putu Jayasa, 32 and Putu Suarsana, 23, both from Kubutambahan, Rendra Setiawan, 16, from Kanginan village, Kubutambahan subdis-trict, Ayu Yuda, 32, from Banyuning, Putu Rico, 18, from Sukasada, Komang Nama, 13, from Pakisan village, Kubutambahan subdistrict, Komang Ariasa, 29, from Kayuputih village, Banjar subdistrict, Radita, 6, from Banyuning and Hidayat, 42. Another victim of the incident was treated at the Army Hospital. “We were in-formed about the incident of the collapsed stage and patients were referred to county hospitals. They have all been treated. Two victims are seri-ously injured and were hospitalized, the others are still under observation. If results indicate that

the patients no longer need hospitalization, they can go home,” he said.

Meanwhile, Nyoman Jaya Mulya, a member of one of the committees, when ascertaining the condition of injured spectators said that the organizers promised to bear their treatment cost. This offer was made possible because the com-mittee had provided insurance coverage against the spectators of the motorcycle race from all regions across Indonesia. “We have come here to verify the number of injured and hospitalized spectators. We will cover the medical treatment costs from the admission ticket that included insurance for the spectators,” he said.

Meanwhile, Mulya said the two-story stage was actually designated for VIP guests including the entourage of Buleleng regent who witnessed the national championship. When the VIP guests left the location, his party had warned spectators not to rush the stage. However, due to the abun-dance of spectators, the committee had trouble barring them so the stage was filled . The upper stage was occupied by more than 50 people, with a capacity for much less. Allegedly due to overcapacity, the stage collapsed. “As soon as the VIP guests left the location, we warned the spectators to find out another place to watch from. Unfortunatly, the warning was ignored, and the stage collapsed,” he added.

Although colored by the collapsed stage in-cident injuring a dozen spectators, the race held by the Bali MX and Bali Jaya Racing Manage-ment still continued. The spectators remained enthusiastic about the attraction of the riders on the race track. Even, the heat of the sun did not dampen the spirit of the spectators who were hungry for entertainment such as motor cross racing. (kmb28)

The fourth and final volume of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s giant climate assessment offered no surprises, nor was it expected to since it combined the findings of three reports released in the past 13 months.

But it underlined the scope of the climate challenge in stark terms. Emissions, mainly from the burning of fossil fuels, may need to drop to zero by the end of this century for the world to have a decent chance of keeping the temperature rise below a level that many consider dangerous.

The IPCC did not say exactly what such a world would look like but it would likely require a massive shift to renewable sources to power homes, cars and industries combined with new technologies to suck greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

The report warned that failure to reduce emissions could lock the world on a trajectory with “irreversible” impacts on people and the environment . Some impacts already being observed


NEW DELHI — Indian au-thorities set fire Sunday to a stockpile of tiger skins, elephant tusks, rhino horns and other il-legal animal parts in an effort to discourage wildlife smuggling in South Asia.

Animal poaching and smuggling have flourished in India, driven by black market demand from China, Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries where many believe ex-otic animal parts have medicinal or aphrodisiacal properties. In most cases, there is no scientific evidence that they do.

Indian Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar loaded more than 42,000 illegal animal parts into a large, blazing oven at the Delhi Zoo. The parts included tiger and leopard pelts, reptile skins, rhino horns and shawls made from endangered Tibetan antelope called shahtoosh. Wild-life officials and members of the media crammed into the small

room at the zoo to witness the inferno.

“The exercise is an attempt to deplore the unethical, indiscrimi-nate and most unlawful activities of harvest and trade of wildlife products,” the Environment Min-istry said in a statement, linking India’s future development with the health of its biodiversity.

Indian wildlife — already struggling with habitat loss due to the expansion of human settle-ments — has been hit hard by poachers and the illegal trade in animal parts. India holds half of the world’s estimated 3,200 wild tigers, but those numbers have de-clined drastically from the 5,000-7,000 tigers India was estimated to have had in the 1990s.

The once-obscure pangolin trade has soared, with at least 320 of the scaly mammals now seized from smugglers each year. Star tor-toise seizures by customs officials have also shot up, from less than 800 a year before 1999 to more than 3,000 a year since 2002.

UN climate report offers stark warnings, hope


COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Climate change is happening, it’s almost entirely man’s fault and limiting its impacts may require reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero this century, the U.N.’s panel on climate science said Sunday.

included rising sea levels, a warmer and more acidic ocean, melting glaciers and Arctic sea ice and more frequent and intense heat waves.

“Science has spoken. There is no ambiguity in their message. Leaders must act. Time is not on our side,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said at the report’s launch in Copenhagen.

Amid its grim projections, the report said the tools are there to set the world on a low-emissions path and break the addiction to burning oil, coal and gas which pollute the atmosphere with heat-trapping CO2, the chief greenhouse gas.

“All we need is the will to change, which we trust will be motivated by knowledge and an understanding of the science of climate change,” IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri said.

The IPCC was set up in 1988 to assess global warming and its impacts. The report released Sunday caps its latest assessment, a mega-review of 30,000 climate change studies that establishes

with 95-percent certainty that most of the warming seen since the 1950s is man-made. The IPCC’s best estimate is that just about all of it is man-made, but it can’t say that with the same

degree of certainty.Today only a small minor-

ity of scientists challenge the mainstream conclusion that cli-mate change is linked to human activity.

Global Climate Change, a NASA website, says 97 percent of climate scientists agree that warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities.

Bali PostGIANYAR - Prolonged drought

occurred this year has made farm-ers in Gianyar inflamed. Hectares of their paddy fields and other agricultural lands got troubles in getting water. Even, some chili plants died due to the drought. In addition, a variety of plant pest also increasingly fret farmers.

As monitoring at Subak Cawu Duur, Sukawati, on Sunday (Nov 2), some hectares of paddy field planted with chili looked dry as they did not get any water. Even, a local farmer, Wayan Kerta, 40, told that due to a long drought each subak area just got the ir-

rigation water once in five days. “Today is the turn of our subak that has been waiting for the wa-ter from 04:00 a.m. and just get the turn (8:00 a.m.—Ed). Even, some other farmers are waiting for water from 11:00 p.m.,” said a farmer cultivating chili on 2,000 square meters of land.

He also complained that due to prolonged drought the irrigation water flowing from the upstream to downstream was not smooth, so that many farmers in the down-stream area did not get water. As a result, it often triggered a conflict among the farmers as they often stole water. “Well,

the quarrel related to water is commonplace. We do not know what to do because this drought has made the water flowing from the upstream to downstream not smooth,” he said.

Wayan Kerta worried that prolonged drought often kindled some pests such as fruit flies, bacteria to fungus. The most severe was that some chili plants died because they did not get water at all. To that end, he truly expected the rain so that the pest could vanish. “Hopefully, if it rains once all pests will immedi-ately disappear,” he said.

Similar complaint was re-

vealed by Putu Darma. The paddy planted at Subak Somi and Subak Juuk also experienced drought. Actually, on the ??6,000 square meters of land his paddy plant had been 50 days old. “Now, be-fore the paddy plants are bloom-ing they should get much water. However, the current water is very small and almost totally ran out,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Gi-anyar Agriculture Agency, I Gusti Ayu Dewi Hariani, when asked for her confirmation via phone for few times related to the farmers’ complaint about the drought was not answered. (kmb35)

Reject Benoa Bay reclamation

ForBALI rides a bike at RenonBali Post

DENPASAR - Hundreds of youths denoting a combination of customary village youth clubs and bike communities and incorporated into the Balinese People’s Forum Rejecting Benoa Bay Reclamation (ForBALI) held a campaign to reject the Benoa Bay reclamation while cycling in the area of the car-free day, Renon, Sunday (Nov 2).

Prolonged drought, farmers getting confused

the rejection against the Benoa Bay reclamation and shouted the yells at the west corner of the Renon Square. Spokesperson of the cycling action, Kadek Bobby Susila, said the flyer distribution aimed to build public awareness so that people could understand why Benoa Bay reclamation plan should be rejected.

“13 reasons of rejecting the Benoa Bay reclamation are dis-

tributed to the public. They are the basic reasons why we reject the Benoa Bay reclamation. Amidst the massive rejection against the Benoa Bay reclama-tion, the government still seeks to pave the plan. In response to that matter, the movement of rejecting the Benoa Bay reclamation will not stop until the plan can be canceled,” said Bobby.

As seen in the action, the mu-

sicians all this time voicing about the rejection against the Benoa Bay reclamation included Jerinx, the drummer of Superman Is Dead. Jerinx asserted that rejec-tion movement against the Benoa Bay reclamation was a culture and creative movement.

“Many non-violent ways can be chosen to express the rejec-tion against the reclamation of Benoa Bay, where one of which is through cycling activity. Every-one has different ways but with the same goal to reject the Benoa Bay reclamation,” he said.

Campaign on the rejection against the Benoa Bay recla-

mation was enthusiast ical ly welcomed by the participants of car-free day. Evidently, the yell of ‘rejecting reclamation’ continued to reverberate from the visitors along the way of the ForBALI while surrounding Renon. (kmb32)

Bangli (Bali Post)—On Saturday night (Nov 1), the

Traffic Unit of Bangli Police raided the reckless speeding committed by a number of youths in the LC Uma Aya. From the results of raid, police could secure four motorcycles used in the illegal racing. The four motor-cycles in incomplete condition were immediately seized and secured to the Bangli Police station.

The Chief of Bangli Police Traf-fic Unit, Nyoman Sukadana, when met he said the activity was carried out with a number of public service personnel based on the public report around the location. They said if the

area was often used as the arena of speeding so it was quite disturbing the people’s comfort. After getting the report, his party directly came down to location that night. “Initially, there was a public report about the speeding. Incidentally we were in the field, so that we immediately came down and secured them,” he explained.

A number of young men get-ting involved in the speeding were directly ticketed. Meanwhile, the motorcycles used for speeding were immediately seized and taken to the Bangli Police station. “Condition of the motorcycles varied such as

having no license plate, no rearview mirrors and motor racing muffler,” he said. He also added that other than summoning the parents of speeding offenders, police would also summon an owner of the repair shops near the speeding location. It was known to be the place for dismantling the motorcycle.

The fire in the protected forest occurred sporadically at almost at 20 points, Kedampal hamlet, Datah village, Abang subdistrict, Sunday (Nov 2). The most severe fire occurred at the milepost num-ber 640, 642, 635, 636, 637, 638, 639, 640, 641 and 642, Forestry Land Register (RTK) VIII within the complex of Mount Abang Agung (AGA).

The Chief of Abang Rang-ers (KRPH), I Nyoman Dadi, revealed that the protected forest fire incident occurred on Satur-day (Nov 1) around 09:00 a.m. in the Forestry Land Register VIII at Kedampal hamlet. At that time, a number of residents had noticed two hotspots around the milepost 635 and 636 located in the upper protected forest. “At that time, we got a report from people of Kedampal that there were two hotspots above. Since Kedampal resident were conduct-ing a religious ceremony at the time, only two people climbed up to extinguish the fire,” he said.

The fire quickly spread due

Fire on Mount Agung scorches 15 hectaresAmlapura (Bali Post)—

The upper slopes of Mount Agung were on fire and scorched 15 hectares of protected forest. Conditions of dry trees and strong wind made the fire spread quickly engulf-ing the protected forest land. As the location was difficult to reach, the regional Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD) wishing to put out the fire could only watch and monitor the fire being able to do anything,.

to strong winds and dried trees in the area. As a result, residents were not capable of extinguish-ing the increasingly large fire. The fire even surrounded two residents. Fortunately, they could save themselves and came down from the location of the fire. On the same day, Nyoman Dadi along with a number of forestry officers assisted by a number of volunteers decided to climb to the hotspots.

This was done to prevent the fire from spreading. “Based on our data collection, the area of the fire was about 15 hectares and it happened in a matter of hours,” he said. Until Sunday, the flames were continuing to grow larger towards the top and at the bottom as well as approaching the loca-tion of the geo membrane dam.

All residents could do was to be on guard, so that the fire would not spread to the dam. Although it was currently vacant the dam worth billions of rupiahs was still expected to be filled with water during rainy season. “What

people can do is try to prevent the flames from getting to close to the dam because this dam is vital for the residents,” he concluded.

Similar conditions were also re-vealed by I Ketut Winti, one of the

Kedampal residents. According to him, similar fires had occurred sever-al times in the, but added that this was the biggest fire of the year, rapidly devouring dozens of hectares of the protected forest land in just 30 hours.

“The fire immediately enlarged and was hard to put down,” he said while pointing out to the first hotspot. He worried that the smoke would disturb and endanger climbers at the peak of Mount Agung. (dwa)

“Nightcrawler”, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a sleazy video-journalist who patrols Los Angeles at night hunting for gory footage to sell to a local television network, opened with $10.9 million.

Just a fraction behind in second spot was horror movie “Ouija,” estimates from box office tracker Exhibitor Relations showed.

Third place was taken by Brad Pitt World War II tank drama “Fury,” with $9.1 million, ahead of David Fincher thriller “Gone Girl” starring Ben Affleck, which added another $8.8 million to its five-week haul.

Animated comedy “The Book of Life,” featuring the voices of Zoe Saldana and Channing Tatum, was

in fifth place at $8.3 million.“John Wick,” starring Keanu

Reeves as an ex-hitman who returns from retirement to take revenge on gangsters who attacked him, raked in just under $8.1 million in ticket sales to take sixth place.

“St. Vincent,” a comedy starring Bill Murray, Melissa McCarthy and Naomi Watts, held onto seventh place. The film, about a young boy who befriends the crusty war veteran living next door, earned $7.8 million.

Disney’s “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” -- based on a children’s book of the same name and starring Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner -- came in eighth place at just under

$6.5 million.Legal drama “The Judge,” pair-

ing Robert Duvall and Robert Downey Jr, was ninth with $3.4 million. Action-horror film “Dracu-la Untold” -- depicting the vampire as a flawed hero in a tragic love tale -- rounded out the top 10 with $2.9 million.

Elsewhere this weekend, Nicole Kidman suffered her worst ever large scale opening in the the thrill-er “Before I Go to Sleep,” which took just over $2 million after a wide release across 1,935 theaters. The movie stars the Australian Oscar-winner opposite Colin Firth as a woman suffering from chronic amnesia who wakes up every morn-ing with no recollection of her life from her early 20s onwards.

The weak opening marks another disappointing flop for Kidman after “Grace of Monaco,” which was booed at the Cannes festival earlier this year and savaged by critics.

NEW YORK — You don’t get to be the longest-running chil-dren’s show in TV history by do-ing the same thing over and over. So even though parents who grew up watching “Sesame Street” can still see old favorites like Big Bird, things on the street have changed since the show debuted 45 years ago on Nov. 10, 1969.

Cookie Monster now exercises self-control and sometimes eats fruits and vegetables. Millions of

kids watch the show on phones and computers instead of TV. And there’s less time spent on the street with human characters. They’re just not energetic enough for today’s viewers.

That “Sesame Street” still exists at all says a lot. In 1973, it was one of two TV shows for preschoolers. Now it’s competing with 84 kids’ shows on TV and countless oth-ers online. Yet “Sesame Street” still holds its own, ranking 20th among kids ages 2 to 5 with 850,000 viewers per TV episode, according to Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit organization behind the show.

But now half the viewers watch it in digital formats. Options in-clude SesameStreet.org, PBSKids.org, Netflix, Amazon, iTunes and

some 50 apps. A “Sesame Street” YouTube channel has a million subscribers and 1.5 billion views. And touchscreens have been “a magic wand for us in terms of en-gagement,” says “Sesame Street” senior vice president Scott Cham-bers. Kids can trace letters or point to colors or shapes, and the app provides positive reinforcement.

“Sesame Street” also has the highest “co-viewing” experience — meaning adults watching with kids — of any preschool show: 49 percent of “Sesame Street” view-ers are over age 18. “We’re very proud of that,” said Chambers. “We design the show to engage the parent because we know that’s more educational. If you have a parent watching with you, you’re going to learn much more.”

It happened because the irriga-tion channel irrigating the fields at Subak Aseman II located behind the Subak Aseman I was closed as the impact of the warehouse development project owned by a leading private company at the former green belt of Subak Aseman I, Jelijih Tegeh hamlet, Megati, East Selemadeg.

As has been known, at the lo-

cation will be built a warehouse owned by one of the renowned dealers. However, the green belt had been revoked by the Tabanan House of the 2009-2014 tenure at the end of their term a few months ago. It was based on the reason for developing the subdistrict town. Even, the discussion on the revo-cation of the green belt had gone through a tug since the revocation

plan was alleged to have been influ-enced by investors. Surely, before long released, the former green belt was suddenly leveled. Lately, it was known if the land of approxi-mately 2 hectares was owned by a renowned dealer.

Related to the warehouse con-struction, the chief of Subak Ase-man II, Nengah Sukanama, ac-companied by subgroup head of Munduk Lantang, Made Widarma, was disappointed because there was no coordination at all when closing to the irrigation channel of Subak Aseman II. gAlthough the project location is at Subak Aseman I, but the closed irrigation channel also flows to the area of Subak Aseman

II. Even, we have not been included in the covenant between the Subak Aseman I and the investor,h he said.

One of the points in the agree-ment mentions that the second party (investor) is prohibited from closing or destroying the irriga-tion channel owned by the subak at downstream area. Meanwhile, another point mentions if the first party (Subak Aseman) approved to the water diversion and the second party is obliged to build a new irrigation channel on the land owned by the second party. Besides, the second party is not allowed to close the old irrigation channel before the new one can

function properly.But the fact in the field indicates

if the irrigation channel to Subak Aseman II has now been closed and cannot operate any longer. gOther than not being involved, we are also disappointed because the irrigation channel was closed arbitrarily. Obviously, we are very much harmed,h he said.

He hoped the relevant parties could immediately intervene to resolve the problems. gWe have predicted that the revocation of green belt initially meant to de-velop the subdistrict town, but it is then controlled by investor,h he explained.
