LOS ANGELES - “Finding Dory” domi-nated the Independence Day box office, over-coming a trio of new releases to provide the weekend’s biggest fireworks.

The Pixar release swam to the top of the charts for the third consecutive weekend, picking up $41.9 mil-lion to bring its domestic total to $372.2 million. The follow-up to “Finding Nemo” should end the four-day holiday with another $50.5 million in receipts. It is on pace to surpass “Toy Story 3” and its $415 million haul as the highest-grossing Pixar film in history on a domestic basis.

“It’s showing no signs of slowing down,” said Dave Hollis, distribution chief at Disney, Pixar’s parent com-pany. “As people are weighing what to see, it stands out

as the only option that’s going to entertain everyone.”The July 4th weekend is traditionally one of the

movie business’ biggest, but this national holiday suffered from a weak crop of new releases, as costly adventures such as “The Legend of Tarzan” and “The BFG” failed to excite audiences. The influx of new re-leases did lift industry-wide grosses, and the weekend should be among the five biggest.

“There’s a lot of product out there,” said Paul Der-garabedian, senior media analyst at comScore. “That leads to a lot of fragmentation and cannibalization, and a lot of spreading the wealth.”

With a smaller budget, “The Legend of Tarzan” might rank as a hit. But Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow spent lavishly to update Edgar Rice Bur-roughs’ jungle king stories, shelling out a reported $180 million to produce the picture and millions more to market it.

Despite the high costs, the film did better than projected, earning $38.1 million for the three-day weekend to take second place. It should make $44 million for the holiday, roughly $10 million more than analysts expected it would generate, but that may not be enough to cover the massive budget. David Yates, who directed several Harry Potter installments, was behind the camera on the film, with Alexander Skars-gard donning Tarzan’s loincloth and Margot Robbie serving as his Jane.

To make a profit, the film will have to resonate with foreign crowds. In its first weekend of international re-lease, “The Legend of Tarzan” pulled in $18.8 million from 19 markets, including South Korea and Russia.

“You have to look at the whole worldwide results,” said Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros. distribution executive vice president, noting that the film has yet to open in major territories such as China.

“At the end of the day we always looked at this as a bigger play internationally,” he added. (rtr)

Thank You

We, the International Bali Post would like to apologize in advance becuase we will not

be published on Wednesday and Thursday, 6 and 7 July becuase the Idul Fitri Day.

Relations between Moscow and Washington hit a post-Cold War low in 2014, when Russia annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula and threw its weight behind separatists in eastern Ukraine. The Kremlin, however, has recently sought rapprochement with the United States.

In the Independence Day mes-

sage released by the Kremlin, Putin recalled the history of Russia-U.S. ties, saying that at one time the two countries were able to solve “the most difficult international problems to the benefit of both our nations and all humankind.” Putin expressed hope that this experience will help the two countries get back to working together.

Elsewhere in Moscow, a youth wing of the ruling United Russia party staged an impromptu exhibit on a central square to condemn U.S. military involvement in other countries. The Young Guard activ-ists put up easels with the portraits and quotes of former world leaders that the activists claim were toppled by the United States, like Ukrai-nian President Viktor Yanukovych or Libyan President Moammar Gadhafi.

“Under its current leadership,

the United States has become a parasite state that attacks other countries under any pretext, violat-ing their sovereignty, causing revo-lutions, using military force, kill-ing civilians and their destroying statehood,” activist Denis Davydov said. “We call on the United States on the Independence Day not only to preserve their own independence but also respect the independence of other countries.”

Putin officially is not a United Russia member despite having

canvassed for the party in the past. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has been recently announced as party leader for the upcoming par-liamentary campaign. (ap)

PARTISAN-SHIP of secu-rity and relevant agencies will not

be able to steril-ize Indonesia from

terrorists. The image of terrorists will have an impact on the family, even on the children of the perpetrators.

As a result, they will be ostracized in society and will live with the group of terrorists in Indonesia, even over-

seas. Besides, revenge is inevitable and if this happens then the terrorist generation will continue to appear in Indonesia. “When media publish the perpetrator’s (terrorist’s—Ed) family, then they will be ostracized. This also

happened to the wife of a terrorist in Lombok, so that she finally joined with the Poso movement because she has been published as terrorist’s family. Finally, she comes to be a terrorist,” asserted Deputy Director

of Intelligence and Security of Bali Police, Dekananto Eko Purwono, some time ago in Sanur.

COVER STORYHe also explained if the terrorists’

children are excluded, they will come to be a terrorist. “Hopefully, the press can provide a good education for the public, chiefly in interpreting or fol-lowing the news on the terrorist act or

incidents. When publishing wrongly, it will have a great impact. We also hope the public to be more mature and intelligent in receiving informa-tion related to terrorist,” he said.

According to him, Bali remains potential to be a terrorist target and if it is not addressed together, the tourism development continues to increase. “I am afraid if this nation has forgotten the efforts to prevent terrorism because having been preoc-cupied by other issues. Sensitizing and awakening back the public will be able to continue the prevention and should be intensified,” he said.

As the latest information, added Dekananto, originally the potential targets included Jakarta and Bali. But lately it has been changed into Medan, Surabaya and Bali. Bali stays potentially to be the target. If people and security forces are not active or proactive in the prevention, terrorist networks will move. They take advantage of the situation. On that account, pacalang or customary security guard should actively tackle the inspection including against migrants, while police officers with security officers must improve raid at the entrance gates to Bali.

“They’re always wondering when police and community are careless. At that time, they go in. We realize that terrorism is an extraordinary crime. Moreover, they depart from an ideology and will be difficult to eradicate. It is unlike other crimes,” said Dekananto.

When talking about ideology, he added, it is difficult to be overcome, let alone have deeply rooted. If they are confidence to die in a ‘holy war’ and will be met by angels, it is dif-ficult to change. On that account, police and mass media as societal components can play a quite signifi-cant role in order to prevent terrorism in Bali. “Currently, the condition of Bali is relatively favorable but may not be negligent. Local government and customary village must actively cooperate to do prevention,” he said.

Prevention Director of the nation-al counterterrorism agency (BNPT), Brig. Gen. Hamidin, said that almost all the countries have experienced the issue of terrorism. Currently around ten large organizations com-mit terrorist activities. “Indonesia is the only country being capable of dealing with three generations of ter-

rorists. In the first Bali bombing, our country was able to uncover the first to third generations of the terrorists. Other countries can rarely do it. We are able to muzzle three generations,” he said.

Actually the current terrorists, said Hamidin, are not as good as that of the Bali bombers I. It is not the issue, but why young generation are so easily going radical, willing to sacrifice their life just to kill others? However, he admitted that public awareness of not becoming radical is getting better. “Do not perceive if the ISIS entirely consists of Islam. There are also atheists joining with them. Tomorrow, terrorist will not only involve the ideology,” said Hamidin.

On that account, prevention of terrorism cannot only be done by the state, but all the elements of society must be involved in it, including the mass media. On combating terror-ism, the BNPT does three things: law enforcement, prosecution mat-ters related to individuals or terrorist groups from coming into jail to treat-ment after being released from jail so that they are aware and able to return to normal society. Additionally,

the BNPT also makes an approach through cooperation between the ministries. Such cooperation cannot be avoided when preventing terror-ism from developing in Indonesia.

An academician, Prof. Dr. Rai Setiabudhi, also agreed that Bali-nese people may not get complacent against terrorist acts although so far, the condition of Bali is conducive from terrorism efforts.

“Do not become complacent and lulled by the safe condition. Increased vigilance must continue to be done. For example, it can be made through raid of migrants, checking hotels, inns and boarding houses. Security forces especially police authority must continuously conduct raids and tighten the examinations at the entrance to Bali,” he said.

Customary villages, he continued, can take part and become the avant-garde in maintaining security in each region. There must be no gap for ter-rorists to enter into the Bali region. “Let’s work together to increase alertness, especially in the backflow period after the Eid celebration. Do not let any opportunity be exploited by terrorists,” said Prof. Rai Setia-budhi. (rah)

The data at the Gilimanuk check-point indicated that from day seven before the Eid or Thursday (Jun. 30) through Sunday there have been 216,387 passengers, 47,165 motor-cycles and 22,403 cars ferried.

In the meantime, when calculated from day twelve or Saturday (Jun. 26), there have been totally 64,296 motorcycles and 41,856 cars cross-ing. Then, the number of passengers, including inside the vehicle, reached 330,000 people or almost equal to the total population of Jembrana (2015). This number will continue to grow until day one before the Eid.

As observation of Bali Post from Sunday morning, the number of mo-torcycle continued to increase and so were the family cars continuing to connect until Sunday afternoon. In contrast to previous days, thousands

of motorized homecomers thronged Gilimanuk.

The climax occurred on Sunday morning, where the queue of motor-cycles reached about two kilometers away from the harbor. Thus, they jos-tled each other and a lot of motorized homecomers broke through sidewalk. “Normally the sidewalk is empty and taken advantage to unwind for hitch-hiked passengers. Now, it is entirely taken by motorcycles,” lamented one of the residents telling reporters. A number of sidewalks like the road section along the headman office were occupied by motorcycles.

When entering midday, the situ-ation was increasingly crowded. Moreover, the queue filled up the lane of road side in front of the Gilimanuk Market usually used for two lines. On the right side was filled up by trucks

and buses, and more than half was filled up by the queue of motorcycles. Thus, the motorized homecomers were seen like an ocean of people. A motorized homecomer, Nuranini, stated to have come up at Gilimanuk at 02:00 and was just about to board the ship around 09:00. This woman going home with her toddler admitted to sleep in a doorway. “Now, I am just about to go aboard, but still waiting for my husband standing in a queue in the tent,” she said when having a break in front of pontoon pier of Gilimanuk Harbor.

In the meantime, the entire piers were operated on Sunday morning. Moreover, the LCM pier commonly used for maximally three vessels to moor was used for four to five vessels on Sunday morning. As a result, both LCT and passenger motor vessels coincided. Crowded LCM pier caused an LCT vessel having been loaded to run aground.

As is observed, the Pancar Indah LCT vessel going to sail could not move because it ran aground about 09:00. Receding seawater made the

vessel’s hull, chiefly the front side, stuck in the pier foundation. As a result, the whole truck freight having boarded onto the vessel should wait until high tide, while truck drivers took passenger vessel. From the infor-mation obtained, the vessel had been actually towed by another vessel, but the rope broke.

In the meantime, last Sunday amid the queue all the officers already made maximum efforts. The queue

could not be avoided by the number of vehicles coming almost simultane-ously. Chief of Jembrana Police, Djoni Widodo, also came down to regulate the queue in the harbor area along with his team, while outside the harbor the queue of trucks still occurred with inter-provincial city buses. Truck lane was directly separated to LCM pier located at the end of the harbor passing identity card checkpoint and harbor exit post. (kmb26)

NEGARA - Homecoming traffic out of Bali at Gilimanuk con-tinued on Sunday morning (Jul. 3). The entrance gates of Bali turned into an ocean of homecomers where vehicles occupied the entire road section at this village. Over the weekend, based on the data of the ASDP, there were hundreds of thousands of people leaving Bali with tens of thousands of motor vehicles.

The Five-hundred-metre Aperture Spherical Telescope, or FAST, is the size of 30 football fields and has been hewed out of a mountain in the poor southwestern province of Guizhou.

Scientists will now start debug-ging and trials of the telescope, Zheng Xiaonian, deputy head of the National Astronomical Obser-vation under the Chinese Acad-emy of Sciences, which built the telescope, told the official Xinhua news agency.

“The project has the potential to search for more strange objects to better understand the origin of the universe and boost the global hunt for extraterrestrial life,” the report paraphrased Zheng as saying.

The 1.2-billion yuan ($180 mil-lion) radio telescope would be a global leader for the next one to two decades, Zheng added.

The telescope, which has taken about five years to build, is ex-pected to begin operations in

September.Advancing China’s space pro-

gramme is a priority for Beijing, with President Xi Jinping calling for the country to establish itself as a space power.

China’s ambitions include put-ting a man on the moon by 2036 and building a space station, work on which has already begun.

China insists its programme is for peaceful purposes, but the U.S. Defense Department has high-lighted China’s increasing space capabilities, saying it is pursuing activities aimed to prevent ad-versaries from using space-based assets in a crisis. (rtr)

China eyes hunt for alien life with giant

telescope

LOS ANGELES — A solar-powered spacecraft is spinning toward Jupiter for the closest en-counter with the biggest planet in our solar system.

NASA’s Juno spacecraft fires its main rocket engine late Monday to slow itself down from a speed of 150,000 mph (250,000 kph) and slip into orbit around Jupiter.

With Juno on autopilot, the deli-cately choreographed move comes without any help from ground controllers.

Juno is traveling through a hos-tile radiation environment, “but it should be able to withstand it,” said Kenny Starnes, program manager for Lockheed Martin, which built the spacecraft.

Juno’s camera and other instru-ments were switched off for the arrival so there won’t be any pic-tures at the moment the spacecraft reaches its destination. Scientists have promised close-up views of Jupiter when Juno skims the cloud tops during the 20-month, $1.1 bil-lion mission.

The fifth rock from the sun and the heftiest planet in the solar sys-tem, Jupiter is what’s known as a gas giant — a ball of hydrogen and helium — unlike rocky Earth and Mars. With its billowy clouds and colorful stripes, Jupiter is an ex-treme world that likely formed first, shortly after the sun. Unlocking its history may hold clues to under-standing how Earth and the rest of the solar system developed.

Named after Jupiter’s cloud-piercing wife, Juno is only the second mission designed to spend time at Jupiter. Galileo, launched in

1989, circled Jupiter for 14 years, beaming back splendid views of the planet and its numerous moons. It uncovered signs of an ocean beneath the icy surface of Europa, considered a top target in the search for life outside Earth.

Juno’s mission: To peer through Jupiter’s cloud-socked atmosphere and map the interior from a unique vantage point above the poles. Among the lingering questions: How much water exists? Is there a solid core? Why are Jupiter’s southern and northern lights the brightest in the solar system?

There’s also the mystery of its Great Red Spot. Recent observa-tions by the Hubble Space Tele-scope revealed the centuries-old monster storm in Jupiter’s atmo-sphere is shrinking.

The trek to Jupiter, spanning nearly five years and 1.8 billion miles (2.8 billion kilometers), took Juno on a tour of the inner solar system followed by a swing past Earth that catapulted it beyond the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Along the way, Juno became the first spacecraft to cruise this far out powered by the sun, beating Europe’s comet-chasing Rosetta spacecraft. A trio of massive solar wings sticks out from Juno like blades from a windmill, generating 500 watts of power to run its nine instruments.

Plans called for Juno to swoop within 3,000 miles (5,000 kilome-ters) of Jupiter’s clouds — closer than previous missions — to map the planet’s gravity and magnetic fields. (ap)

A 1/4 scale model size of NASA’s solar-powered Juno space-craft is displayed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasa-dena, Calif. on Friday, July 1, 2016. The spacecraft is on the final leg of a five-year, 1.8 billion-mile voyage to the biggest planet in the solar system. It’s expected to reach Jupiter and go into orbit around the planet on July 4.

BEIJING - China on Sunday hoisted the final piece into posi-tion on what will be the world’s largest radio telescope, which it will use to explore space and help in the hunt for extrater-restrial life, state media said.

This was revealed by Deputy Chairman of the Bangli House of Representatives, Komang Carles, Saturday (Jul. 2). He assessed the Kintamani Festival and Lake Batur Festival ever held by the government of Bangli has not given positive impact on tourism devel-opment of Kintamani. The festival that ideally could bring in many visitors seems to have no reverbera-tion due to lack of dissemination by the organizer.

“All this time, the festival hav-ing been implemented seems to lack of promotion. Many tourism players including the residents of Bangli do not know the festival. But only a few that know,” he explained.

Besides, the organizer is also judged to fill in the festival with more ceremonial activities than cultural attractions. So, the festival activities seem boring. According to him, the Kintamani Festival should give more emphases on cultural attractions such as com-petition of baleganjur gamelan orchestra, Kang Ching Wie dance, and other cultural attractions owned by 15 villages at the Batur

lakeside. “The attraction must be propagated. If necessary, the 48 villages must be engaged in the provision of cultural attractions,” said Carles.

Aside from cultural attractions, according to him, the festival should also be propagated with a variety of culinary exhibitions and typical handicraft products of Bangli. “In short, we must feature cultural, culinary and handicraft potential. These are what we sell to travelers,” he added.

Although the Kintamani Festival implementation so far is judged to have no impact on tourism develop-ment, he remained to hope such an event can be continued this year. He in the parliament is ready to support the budget for the implementa-tion of the event as long as all the shortcomings all this time can be improved in the future.

“Hopefully, the next festival can be organized, but with careful planning. Prior to the festival, there must be dissemination of informa-tion to tourism players and the public at large so that the festival can have a positive impact on the community. Do not make promo-

tion a week before the event,” he hoped.

When met recently, the Head of the Bangli Culture and Tour-ism Agency, I Wayan Adnyana, claimed to be unable to confirm whether the Kintamani Festival will be held again this year. He said that to organize a festival featur-ing many cultural attractions need large funding. “It will depend on the availability of fund later on,” he explained.

He added that as a commitment of the Regent of Bangli, I Made Gianyar, the agency is currently focusing on the repair of support-ing tourism facilities, especially in the area of Kintamani. A number of damaged tourism facilities, especially at Penelokan will be repaired. Likewise some shortages of tourism facilities will soon be built. “In essence, we still make improvement in the facility first,” he said.

He actually very much deplored if the Kintamani Festival can no longer be held continuously. Ac-cording to him, Kintamani Festival held last November and Lake Batur Festival held a few years ago are able to be an effective means to promote tourism of Kintamani both in terms of the beauty of panorama and indigenous culture of local community.

“In our opinion, the implementa-tion of Kintamani Festival is very effective for tourism promotion of Bangli even though it cannot bring in an instant result,” said Adnyana. (kmb40)

TABANAN - To achieve a rabies-free Bali, Tabanan Livestock Agency held a mass vaccination beyond schedule. Such mass vacci-nation is conducted regularly every Sunday and the implementation began on Sunday (Jul. 3) at Dangin Carik Square, Jalan Pahlawan, in-cluding Dajan Peken hamlet, Dajan Peken, Tabanan.

The Head of the Tabanan Live-stock Agency, Wayan Kotio, ex-plained that the regular vaccination every Sunday is expected to target the dogs that have not been vac-cinated by the owner when mass vaccination was scheduled at their hamlet.

He continued the mass vacci-nation targets 817 hamlets scat-tered in 133 villages in Tabanan. However, not all dogs are vac-cinated on the mass vaccination schedule because the owners may not have time to come to local meeting hall on the day of vac-cination with a variety of reasons. On that account, the vaccination held regularly every Sunday will target pet dogs that have not been vaccinated on mass vaccination activities. “We deliberately do this on holiday so that people are not busy and do not work. It will continue to be done until Bali is declared free from rabies,” ex-plained Kotio.

For regular vaccination activi-

ties every Sunday, added Kotio, the Tabanan Livestock Agency got assistance from the Bali Livestock as many as 50,000 vaccines. Rabies dog bite cases in Tabanan have reduced in 2016 when compared to 2015.

In 2015, the positive bite case is recorded to reach an average of five people per month or approximately 60 people while until June 2016 it has been recorded to reach 19 positive bite cases. Nevertheless, the positive bite case means that there are still rabid dogs roaming around and transmitting the virus in Tabanan. Therefore, regular vac-cination in dogs is very important. “This vaccine should be repeated once a year,” said Kotio.

He asserted that the vaccines used in dogs were not charged. On that account, he expected people not to reluctantly bring along their dog to be vaccinated even though the mass vaccination schedule has passed. “The dog can be brought to the Livestock Agency if the dog has not been vaccinated in the mass vaccination. It’s free of charge,” he said.

In addition to vaccinating pet dogs, Kotio also appealed to people not to let the dog roam around. Released dogs still has the potential to get infected by the virus from wild dogs despite having been vac-cinated. (kmb24)

Kintamani Festival judged to bring in no positive

impact on tourismBANGLI - Kintamani Festival and Lake Batur Festival hav-

ing been held to promote the tourism of Bangli, Kintamani in particular, is considered not to result in too positive impact on tourism development of Kintamani. Festival activities costing hundreds of millions of rupiah are considered to feature too many ceremonial activities rather than cultural attractions. In the future, the festival is expected to be well prepared. In order to be able to bring in many visitors, dissemination of informa-tion to tourism players and wider community is expected to be carried out far in advance.

Pauline Hanson, founder of the controversial far right One Nation party, used the political limbo that has resulted from Saturday’s close vote to push her far-right agenda that first won her international notoriety in 1996, warning that Australia was being “swamped by Asians”.

“A lot of Australians feel that Asians are buying up prime agri-cultural land, housing,” Hanson said at a fiery media conference in Brisbane on Monday, where she also reiterated her anti-Islam stance.

“Do you want to see terrorism on our streets here? Do you want to see our Australians murdered?”

she said.With the two major parties, the

conservative Liberal-National co-alition and centre-left Labor, sitting on the sidelines waiting for a result that could take days, it was left to another independent, centrist Nick Xenophon, to mount a defence of multicultural Australia.

The power vacuum that allowed Hanson to re-emerge showed just how badly Turnbull’s gamble of dissolving both houses of parlia-ment, to clear out minor parties and independents he said were blocking his reformist agenda, had failed.

Saturday’s election was meant to end political turmoil that had

seen four prime ministers in three years. Instead, it left Turnbull’s own leadership in question less than a year after he ousted then prime minister Tony Abbott in a party-room coup.

“I think in the end he should be asking himself if he has done the Liberal Party a service or a disservice,” Corey Bernardi, a senator from Turnbull’s Liberal Party, said.

Labor leader Bill Shorten also called on Turnbull to quit, likening his position to that of British Prime Minister David Cameron after last month’s “Brexit” vote.

Turnbull, acting as caretaker prime minister while vote count-ing continues, appeared to have underestimated the protest vote that stole support from both major par-ties and must now negotiate with minor parties and independents to retain power. (rtr)

TOKYO - Japan’s re-embrace of nuclear power, on display last week with the recertification of two ageing reactors, is prompting some critics to warn that Tokyo is neglecting the lessons of Fuku-shima.

In the first such step since the 2011 disaster, Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) on June 20 approved Kansai Electric Power Co’s application to extend the life of two reactors beyond 40 years.

As it became clear the NRA was going to allow the extensions, a former commissioner broke a silence maintained since he left the agency in 2014 and said “a sense of crisis” over safety prompted him to go public and urge more attention to earthquake risk.

Kunihiko Shimazaki, who was a commissioner from 2012 to 2014, said a powerful quake in April that killed 69 on Kyushu island showed the risk to some of Japan’s 42 op-erable nuclear reactors was being underestimated.

“I cannot stand by without doing anything. We may have an-

other tragedy and, if that happens, it could not be something that was ‘beyond expectations’,” he said, referring to a common descrip-tion of the catastrophic chain of events after the earthquake and tsunami that led to the Fukushima meltdowns.

The NRA has said it would take into account Shimazaki’s position in some of its assessments.

Separately when asked about the operating extensions of the reac-tors, a spokesman for the regula-tor referred Reuters to remarks by agency chairman, Shunichi Tanaka, on the day of the extensions, when he said: “It does not guarantee absolute safety but it means the reactors have cleared the safety standards.”

According to the World Nuclear Association, an industry body, early reactors were designed for a life of about 30 years, while newer plants can operate up to 60 years.

A 2012 Japanese law also limits the life of all reactors to 40 years, allowing for licence extensions only in exceptional circumstances. (rtr)

Putu Ardila, a sales officer of the Hotel Melka, explained that the allegation of torture as in the video posted in the social media like Instagram and Facebook widely at issue is not true. A total of five dolphins are treated in three special pools. Dolphins are fed with fresh fish every morning and afternoon.

He even showed the five-year work plan as a conservation organi-zation, CV. Melka Satwa. “Actually there is no (torture of dolphin—Ed). We have complete permission. The account owner posting the informa-tion (on Instagram and Facebook—Ed) have never met me. I do not know where he got the video from,” he said, Saturday (Jul. 2).

He explained that each animal coming in and maintained by CV. Melka Satwa belongs to deposited animal. The accusation of getting dolphin in the coastal area of Lovina and transferred to hotel is considered to be excessive even though the posting does not directly mention the name of location.

Melka as one of the hotels hav-ing been known to general public in Buleleng indeed takes care of dolphins. Management immedi-ately clarified the allegations to the public. “CV Melka Satwa has a permit. The animals are usually commended here. The animals ac-cepted here are only belonging to the Natural Resources Conserva-tion Agency (KSDA) or ministry. We do not receive animals from individual to be kept here. All the animals here belong to the state. We are authorized to maintain,” said this man from Sukasada.

Moreover, every time caring for dolphins CV Melka Satwa as a conservation organization spends its own expense to buy fish for dolphin consumption. “Actu-ally Melka spends its own fund for maintenance of the dolphins. Melka does not buy dolphins from someone. Well, if there are animals commended here and die, we also make a dossier (BAP),” he explained.

He added that dolphins and other animals at the CV. Melka Satwa are intended for a medium of education for children. Especially for dolphins, he has a special trick when feeding them. “So, many stu-dents of kindergarten or elementary school like to see dolphins here,” he added.

He asserted that it is not true if the dolphins are abused and ex-ploited. But he personally did not dismiss if there additional cost for the dolphin food taken from visi-tors’ ticket. “If it is said a show, it is not correct as well. Every morn-ing at 09:00 we have schedule to feed dolphins. There is no charge to in-house guests, but walk-in guests are charged ticket at IDR 75,000. The ticket is charged to see the animals here, not only for dolphins,” he said.

He is even worried if the posting of dolphin in social media is taken from somewhere else and not in North Bali because the manage-ment of Melka has a permit and recommendation from the ministry. “Dolphin attraction only uses a ball, while the remaining they play while hopping in search of the food given. It is intended to activate the muscles of dolphins. Well, it is just like a sport,” he said. (kmb34)

DENPASAR - Chris Smalling has been in hospital in Bali, Indo-nesia with food poisoning which led to him fainting, his club Man-chester United said in a statement.

A source close to the club told ESPN FC earlier on Monday that United were investigating after a picture of Smalling on a hospital bed surfaced on social media, and a club statement was released giving the official reason.

The statement added that Small-ing is “now feeling fine” and that the player thanked everyone for their support. Smalling has been in Bali on holiday ahead of reporting back for preseason training later this month.

United players who have been involved in the European Champi-onship will return to the club later than those not involved. Players who were not given delayed holi-days, after international duty, begin work this week with new manager Jose Mourinho.

The 26-year-old had played the full 90 minutes in all four of England’s matches at the European Championship in France before go-

ing away to the Indonesian island.During the tournament, his fit-

ness had also been in the spotlight when he was pictured with an ice pack on a knee following a train-ing session, as England prepared to face Russia in their opening

match.Smalling’s physicality has al-

ready been tested over the past year, having been a regular starter for United during a busy campaign, playing in 55 matches for the club in all competitions. (rtr)

“According to reports I have received they have all been ready. We will only wait to see their implementation. Based on our calculations, traffic jams will only occur on the Brebes to Tegal route,” he said after distributing food aid packages at the Kebanyakan village in Banten province, West Java.

President Jokowi has instructed Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan to be ready to meet the flow of homecoming traffic during Leba-ran this year.

“In line with the Presidents directives there are two things that have to be done. First is eliminating gridlocks during homecoming and

returning journeys. This is a tough job,” Ignasius said when leading a roll call ahead of the Lebaran opera-tions at his office recently.

President Jokowi has also called for increasing the safety of travel-ers during their travel to and from home.

Ignasius also urged the authori-ties to take firm action against any violation of traffic regulations, especially the one that endangers the safety of other travelers.

“From seven days before and seven days after Lebaran last year, there were more than 700 people killed on the street. It is a tough job (assuring safety),” he said. (ant)

JAKARTA - National Coordi-nator of Voter Education Network (JPPR) Masykurudin Hafidz said the Friends of Ahok emerges as a form of criticism of the perfor-mance of political parties in the country. The group of young people have expressed their disappoint-ment with the political parties, with many corrupt representatives in the countrys parliament, Masykurudin said.

He said the success of the Friends of Ahok in gathering one million supporters for Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok to run as independent candidate to contest the next gubernatorial election in 2017, deserves high appreciation. The Friends of Ahok are only a small group of young people, but they have done a big job of gathering more than 1 million identity cards (KTP) of supporters, he said.

“The young generation has an advantage of being closer to digi-talization and access to information

that the process of gathering sup-porters is easier, he said. Friends of Ahok said so far they have gathered more than 1,024,632 supporters not far from the total votes of 1,231,843 garnered by PDIP, the ruling party that led in Jakarta in the last legisla-tive election in 2014.

“The number of KTPs of sup-porters gathered by the Friends of Ahok exceeded the total votes of 592,568 for Gerindra in the legisla-tive election and 452,224 for PPP,” Masykurudin said. The one million votes to be given by Ahok support-ers are equivalent to 25 seats at the Jakarta city council (DPRD).

Masykurudin said the support is enough for a candidate to run without coalition with political parties. Based on experience in regional elections political parties tended to pick elitist candidates and coalition is formed solely to seek victory regardless of the ideology. “Political parties have little interest in grooming cadres representing the local people,” he said.(ant)

This socialist country is suffer-ing from severe food shortages that are making it hard to get enough to eat, even though Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world. Government officials blame the shortfalls on right-wing business owners hoarding products to sow chaos, while their detractors say

it’s the result of chronic economic mismanagement. At the same time, food production and imports are down and inflation is high.

Some Venezuelans who had given up produce as an unafford-able luxury are now turning to urban farming to get vegetables back into their diets.

With the help of a government-sponsored urban farming campaign, the head of the newly created Min-istry of Urban Agriculture, Lorena Freitez, hopes home gardens will make up 20 percent of the food supply by 2019.

“Urban agriculture will cushion the effects of the shortages. Cities will not be so dependent on imports, and we will make great strides in food sovereignty,” she said.

Now, amid the narrow roads and crumbling shacks of one of South America’s largest slums, a careful look yields something unexpected:

a carefully tended tomato plant and a bush of basil leaves. The family members growing the plants hope that in a few months, they’ll be eating vegetables again.

A team of researchers from three leading local universities found that 12 percent of the people in Caracas skip meals. Researchers say that is a sharp increase from a few years ago, when the price of oil had not yet crashed, and many Venezuelans still found it consistently easy to get the food they needed.

“The thing is, Venezuelans aren’t used to this,” said Central University professor Marianella Herrera.

Francisco Salazar, head of a community council that works in Caracas slums, says he and his neighbors are growing beets, black beans, lettuce and dozens of other vegetables in a large community garden. But he worries it won’t be enough.

“We don’t have flour, we don’t have pasta, we don’t have rice,” he said. “What we have is a Band-Aid that’s not going to really solve the problem.” (ap)

KUWAIT CITY — Kuwait’s finance minister says the oil-ex-porting country has posted a bud-get deficit of $18.2 billion for the most recent fiscal year as lower crude prices slash into government revenue.

Anas al-Saleh, who is also the acting oil minister, was quoted in the state-run Kuwait News Agency on Sunday as saying the deficit was nearly $9 billion less than budgeted for. The new fiscal year in Kuwait began April 1.

Kuwait’s budget deficit reflects the impact lower oil prices have had on crude exporters, particularly Gulf Arab monarchies that rely on oil revenues to support generous subsidies, welfare benefits and public sector wages.

Al-Saleh was quoted as saying Kuwait is “facing serious challeng-es” that require trimming spending, diversifying the economy, creating more jobs for Kuwaitis and attract-ing greater foreign investment.(ap)

The attack on the shopping area of Kar-rada is the deadliest since U.S.-backed Iraqi forces last month scored a major victory when it dislodged Islamic State from their stronghold of Falluja, an hour’s drive west of the capital. It is also the deadliest so far this year.

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had ordered the offensive after a series of bomb-ings in Baghdad, saying Falluja served as a launchpad for such attacks on the capital. However, bombings have continued.

A convoy carrying Abadi who had come to tour the site of the bombings was pelted with stones and bottles by residents, angry at what they felt were false promises of bet-ter security.

A refrigerator truck packed with explo-sives blew up in the central district of Kar-rada, killing 115 people and injuring at least 200. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement circulated online by supporters of the ultra-hardline Sunni group. It said the blast was a suicide bombing.

Karrada was busy at the time as Iraqis eat out and shop late during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which ends next week with the Eid al-Fitr festival.

The White House on Sunday said the attack only strengthened the United States’

resolve to confront Islamic State. “We remain united with the Iraqi people and government in our combined efforts to destroy ISIL,” said the White House statement, referring to Islamic State.

Videos posted on social media showed people running after the SUV convoy of Abadi as he left Karrada after touring the scene, throwing pavement stones, bottles of water, empty buckets and slippers, venting their anger at the inability of the security forces to protect the area.

Abadi declared three days of mourning for the victims, according to state-run media that also cited him saying he understood the angry reaction of residents.

Another video posted on social media showed a large blaze in the main street of Karrada, a largely Shi’ite district with a small Christian community and a few Sunni mosques.

Reuters TV footage taken in the morn-ing showed at least four buildings severely damaged or partly collapsed, including a shopping mall believed to be the target, and gutted cars scattered all around.

The toll climbed during the day as rescuers pulled out more bodies from under the rubble and people succumbed to their injuries.

Comments posted on social media ac-cused security forces of continuing to use

fake bomb detectors at checkpoints filtering traffic in Baghdad, five years after the scandal broke out about a device commonly known as the ‘magic wand’.

A police officer in Baghdad confirmed

these hand-held ADE 651 detectors were still in use. They were sold to Iraq and other nations by a British businessman who was jailed for 10 years in 2013 in Britain for endangering lives for profit. (rtr)

Nearly 120 killed in overnight Baghdad bombings claimed by IS

RIYADH - A suicide bomber was killed and two people were wounded in a blast near the U.S. consulate in Saudi Arabia’s second city of Jeddah early on Monday, state TV said, the first bomb-ing in years to attempt to target foreigners in the kingdom.

The attacker parked his car outside a hospital opposite the consulate at about 2.15 a.m. and deto-nated his device after being approached by two security men, killing him and lightly wounding

them, it said, quoting a security spokesman.Three further blasts rocked the location of the

bombing hours later, a witness told Reuters, as police carried out what appeared to be controlled explosions near the site.

A video sent by the witness showed police tak-ing cover behind vehicles and covering their ears before a blast.

In a statement, the U.S. consulate said there were no casualties or injuries among its staff, adding that it and the U.S. embassy were in contact with Saudi authorities investigating the incident.

Reuters could not immediately reach officials for further details. A photograph on the Sabq news website showed what appeared to be the remains of a man lying beside a taxi.

State television avoided direct reference to the presence of the diplomatic mission, mentioning only the street address, an apparent effort to down-play the likely target of the attack.

A State Department message to U.S. citizens in Saudi Arabia reiterated advice to keep aware of their surroundings and take extra precautions when travelling.

The witness said the area had been closed off by security forces, with helicopters hovering over-head. The explosion appeared to have taken place about 20 m (65 feet) from an outer checkpoint of the consulate, he added. Concrete barriers protect the street outside the consulate.

Islamic State has carried out a series of bomb-ing and shooting attacks in Saudi Arabia since mid-2014 that have killed scores of people, mostly members of the Shi’ite Muslim minority and secu-rity services. (rtr)

“The contract is a long-term decision and isn’t influenced by a race incident,” team boss Toto Wolff told reporters at the Red Bull Ring.

An exasperated Wolff, who has a 30 percent stake in the team as well as being Mercedes motorsport director, had earlier slammed the latest clash between the two title rivals as ‘brainless’.

Stewards blamed Rosberg for causing the last lap incident, impos-ing a meaningless time penalty and reprimand.

The German, who has been at Mercedes since 2010 and turned 31 last week, finished fourth while triple world champion Hamilton won to cut Rosberg’s overall lead to 11 points with 12 races remain-

ing.While Hamilton has a contract

to 2018, Rosberg’s future is in dis-cussion. Austria’s former McLaren and Ferrari driver Gerhard Berger is negotiating with Mercedes on his behalf.

He told Reuters no deal had been reached yet and whether Rosberg stayed was up to Mercedes.

“It would be very short-term thinking of everybody,” he added when asked about a possible negative impact of a collision that denied the team a one-two finish.

“We are seeing here a race where somebody did an outstanding job, and then a couple of circumstances happened in the last lap.”

Rosberg has won five of nine

races so far this season and, despite some speculation about a possible Ferrari move, has said he expects to remain at Mercedes for years to come.

“It feels great to be here, and the team’s also very happy with me,” he said. “I feel really very much at home. This is my racing family here and this is where I want to be for the foreseeable future.”

Asked on Sunday whether any-thing had changed, he replied that he was just disappointed to have lost another victory.

“I had it in the bag and would have loved to win here. To lose it in such a way in the last lap is un-believably hard,” said the German, who had been chasing a hat-trick of Austria wins.

“I don’t think of a big picture like that,” he added when asked about working with Hamilton. “I’m just thinking of today and I’m gut-ted and that’s it. (rtr)

LONDON - Czech 10th seed Tomas Berdych appreciated the history of the rare middle Sunday play at Wimbledon as much as he savoured his 6-4 6-4 4-6 6-1 victory over talented teenager Alexander Zverev.

Berdych and the German followed Serena Williams on to court in front of a packed crowd of lucky punters who bought tickets the day before for a hastily arranged extra day of matches to clear the backlog after rain scrambled the schedule.

It is just the fourth time since the tournament started in 1877 that the weather has forced organisers to throw open the doors on what is traditionally a rest day for the players. The last time was in 2004, the first in 1991.

“To play on Sunday, on this Centre Court, I think it is very special,” Berdych, 30, said in a court-side interview.

“I am one of the guys that really love traditions ... it is just the fourth time in such a long history of the championship that we are playing on the middle Sunday.

“I get a chance to play, I get a chance to play on Centre Court, so it can’t be better than that.”

As a permanent fixture of the top 10 since 2010 and a run-ner-up at Wimbledon, losing to Rafa Nadal in the same year, Berdych knows class when he sees it and heralded his 19-year-old opponent, seeded 24, as a future grand slam winner.

“He is definitely the guy are we going to hear about a lot,” he said of Zverev, who has equalled his best slam result after also reaching round three of the French Open.

Zverev dismissed any pressure from being talked up as a possible future number one.

“There’s been a million future number ones that never got to number one. There’s other guys right now who want to become number one after Novak,” he told reporters.

Berdych will face Jiri Vesely in an all-Czech fourth-round clash on Monday after Vesely beat 31st seed Joao Sousa of Portugal 6-2 6-2 7-5. (rtr)

The 25-year-old forward scored with an excellent finish and set up two more goals as France swatted aside Iceland 5-2 on Sunday to set up a semifinal against Germany.

“It will be great if he carries on being the top scorer in the com-petition,” France coach Didier Deschamps said. “He’s a very efficient player and is excellent technically. We’ll need more of the same from him on Thursday.” He may be the toast of French football today, but it hasn’t al-ways been that way.

There was no comfortable route through the well-reputed French football academies for Griezmann, who was so exasperated at being rejected by several French clubs for his small stature that he went to Spain as a teenager, joining Real Sociedad in 2008.

How Lyon and other French clubs must cringe with embarrass-ment now. Even his current club — Champions League runner-up Atletico Madrid — may struggle to keep him. His affable and calm de-meanor belies a tough interior. His difficult route to the top has made for a refreshingly blunt speaker.

After France’s labored win against Ireland in the last 16, Griezmann revealed what was said at halftime — giving a r a r e insight

into changing room politics.“We said things to each other,

basically that we needed to ‘move our butt,’” Griezmann said. “(Oth-erwise) we would have all looked like idiots.”

For a player of his size, he is remarkably good in the air, un-coiling his slight frame to unleash considerable power. Two of his four goals at this tournament have been headers - which he recently said he has been practicing since the age of eight. But that’s only part of what defines his game.

Griezmann’s awareness, touch and skill — allied to pace, a low center of gravity and great move-ment — make him extremely difficult to mark and he has the uncanny gift that top players have of finding space. “When I’m close to the penalty area, that’s where I feel more comfortable,” he said on Sunday.

When he’s not scoring, he’s also dropping deep and spraying cush-ioned passes around with unwav-ering accuracy. He is also a lethal one-on-one finisher, as he showed against Ireland last weekend with his second goal in a 2-1 win.

His goal on Sunday night, on the stroke of halftime against Iceland, was even better. Collecting Olivier Giroud’s delicate flick, he drew goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson

off his line and then floated the ball over his shoulder for his 11th international goal.

It was a finish that Barcelona great Lionel Messi would have been proud of for its mixture of

technique and composure. Against Iceland, Griezmann also created goals for midfielder Paul Pogba and Dimitri Payet, who has begun a habit of kissing Griezmann’s trusty left boot in thanks for a goal.

It’s a scene that Deschamps clearly wants to be repeated on Thursday, though it is likely to be a very tight match. “We’ll have to give everything against Germany,” Griezmann said.(ap)

EVIAN - Holding midfield-er Sami Khedira will miss

Germany’s Euro 2016 semi-final against hosts France after he sustained

an adductor muscle in-jury in the quarter-final vic-

tory over Italy, coach Joachim Loew said on Monday.

Khedira, who had played in all of Germa-ny’s matches at the tournament, was withdrawn early in Saturday’s game after over-stretching during a challenge for the ball.

“Sami Khedira won’t play for us on Thursday. We will do everything for him to be available for a po-tential final,” Loew told reporters of the 29-year-old Juventus player. “I will have to bring in new names.

There will be personnel changes in the lineup.”Germany are already without suspended

central defender Mats Hummels and injured striker Mario Gomez, who will miss the rest of the tournament after also picking up an injury in the shootout victory over Italy. Gomez, who will remain with the team, is the only specialist striker in the German squad.

Loew said he had enough options in midfield, naming Emre Can as one of Khedira’s possible replacements due to his versatility.

“He is a player who can be used in a lot of different positions. In training, he has been very convincing. Physically he is very strong and skilled. I think that a player like Can would do our game a lot of good.”

Captain Bastian Schweinsteiger was also a

doubt with a knee ligament injury and if he did not fully recover by Thursday, he would not play, Loew said.

“We will not put our head in the sand. We will try everything with the players that are doubtful,” the coach added.

“One thing is clear: I will definitely not let play anyone who is not 100 percent fit. I hope and wish that Bastian can make it.

“I made the mistake many years ago (of field-ing a player who was unfit) and I won’t make it again,” he said, refusing to name the match he was referring to.

“The thoughts we have should not go back to the past but go forward. I fully trust all my players. They are training at a high level, they are physically in very good shape.” (rtr)

BORDEAUX — Sweat and tears is what Italy coach Antonio Conte demanded from his players, and sweat and tears is what he got during a two-year reign that ended in the quarterfinals of the European Championship.

Conte, who is leaving the Az-zurri to join Chelsea in the English Premier League, transmits passion and the desire to succeed to his players. And both those qualities were on show during Italy’s defeat on penalties to world champion Germany on Saturday.

Captain Gianluigi Buffon was crying as he left the pitch, while another experienced player Andrea Barzagli also broke down while giving an interview.

“It’s a huge disappointment, be-cause we really gave everything,” Barzagli sobbed. “Unfortunately we lost and nothing will remain of everything good we have done because when you go out .... sorry .... only disappointment is left and that’s it.

“And in a few years’ time no one will remember anything about this Italy side which gave everything.” That depends very much on how Italy does under incoming coach Giampiero Ventura.

title during a 35-year managerial career. But he has earned plenty of plaudits for the work he did with Torino, where he forged a team which was worth more than the sum of its parts — much like Conte did with Italy.

And Ventura will have more to work with than Conte, who took over after the disappoint-ment of the 2014 World Cup. The Azzurri were eliminated at the group stage in Brazil — prompt-ing the immediate resignation of coach Cesare Prandelli and the president of the Italian football federation.

“Let’s remember from where we came from,” current federation President Carlo Tavecchio said. “We returned ... with a beaten team and no federation. Then we gave the national team to a leader, and now we will start again from this Italy side.

“There are good foundations. It’s unthinkable the group could break up. We gave the job to Ventura, who has the same way of thinking.” Conte has indeed laid good foundations, having molded Italy into the image of himself.

“I am proud of the legacy we are leaving,” Conte said. “We wanted to transmit to the fans our passion,

enthusiasm and a love for this shirt and this team.”

The Azzurri may lack star qual-ity, but they more than make up for in their strength as a group.

So strong is their team spirit that defender Leonardo Bonucci said after the Germany defeat: “Even though we have only been together about a month and a half, it feels like they have been my teammates for years and years in the dressing room.”

Italy arrived at Euro 2016 with an aging team that was much criticized by the media back home. But it advanced as the winner of Group E with a match to spare and beat two-time defending champion Spain 2-0 in the round of 16.

“We have to be intelligent in continuing on this path,” Bonucci said. “We’ll leave Ventura in peace to create his group, the one that was here at the European Championship and to take Italy forward, because we deserved this. We grew game after game and now we have to continue.”

Ventura’s work will start in earnest when the players meet up again for Italy’s first World Cup qualifier, against Israel on Sept. 5. Italy also faces Spain, Albania, Macedonia and Liechtenstein in Group G. (ap)

Once rejected, Griezmann now toast of France at Euro 2016

SAINT-DENIS — Too small. Too frail. No future in French football. Antoine Griezmann defied plenty of skeptics by be-coming the highest scorer at the European Championship. France’s hopes of a first title since Euro 2000 rest largely on the slim shoulders of Griezmann, who is on the small side for an attacking player at 1.76 meters (5-foot-9).

The 25-year-old forward scored with an excellent finish and set up two more goals as France swatted aside Iceland 5-2 on Sunday to set up a semifinal against Germany.

“It will be great if he carries on being the top scorer in the com-petition,” France coach Didier Deschamps said. “He’s a very efficient player and is excellent technically. We’ll need more of the same from him on Thursday.” He may be the toast of French football today, but it hasn’t al-ways been that way.

There was no comfortable route through the well-reputed French football academies for Griezmann, who was so exasperated at being rejected by several French clubs for his small stature that he went to Spain as a teenager, joining Real Sociedad in 2008.

How Lyon and other French clubs must cringe with embarrass-ment now. Even his current club — Champions League runner-up Atletico Madrid — may struggle to keep him. His affable and calm de-meanor belies a tough interior. His difficult route to the top has made for a refreshingly blunt speaker.

After France’s labored win against Ireland in the last 16, Griezmann revealed what was said at halftime — giving a r a r e insight

into changing room politics.“We said things to each other,

basically that we needed to ‘move our butt,’” Griezmann said. “(Oth-erwise) we would have all looked like idiots.”

For a player of his size, he is remarkably good in the air, un-coiling his slight frame to unleash considerable power. Two of his four goals at this tournament have been headers - which he recently said he has been practicing since the age of eight. But that’s only part of what defines his game.

Griezmann’s awareness, touch and skill — allied to pace, a low center of gravity and great move-ment — make him extremely difficult to mark and he has the uncanny gift that top players have of finding space. “When I’m close to the penalty area, that’s where I feel more comfortable,” he said on Sunday.

When he’s not scoring, he’s also dropping deep and spraying cush-ioned passes around with unwav-ering accuracy. He is also a lethal one-on-one finisher, as he showed against Ireland last weekend with his second goal in a 2-1 win.

His goal on Sunday night, on the stroke of halftime against Iceland, was even better. Collecting Olivier Giroud’s delicate flick, he drew goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson

off his line and then floated the ball over his shoulder for his 11th international goal.

It was a finish that Barcelona great Lionel Messi would have been proud of for its mixture of

technique and composure. Against Iceland, Griezmann also created goals for midfielder Paul Pogba and Dimitri Payet, who has begun a habit of kissing Griezmann’s trusty left boot in thanks for a goal.

It’s a scene that Deschamps clearly wants to be repeated on Thursday, though it is likely to be a very tight match. “We’ll have to give everything against Germany,” Griezmann said.(ap)

EVIAN - Holding midfield-er Sami Khedira will miss

Germany’s Euro 2016 semi-final against hosts France after he sustained

an adductor muscle in-jury in the quarter-final vic-

tory over Italy, coach Joachim Loew said on Monday.

Khedira, who had played in all of Germa-ny’s matches at the tournament, was withdrawn early in Saturday’s game after over-stretching during a challenge for the ball.

“Sami Khedira won’t play for us on Thursday. We will do everything for him to be available for a po-tential final,” Loew told reporters of the 29-year-old Juventus player. “I will have to bring in new names.

There will be personnel changes in the lineup.”Germany are already without suspended

central defender Mats Hummels and injured striker Mario Gomez, who will miss the rest of the tournament after also picking up an injury in the shootout victory over Italy. Gomez, who will remain with the team, is the only specialist striker in the German squad.

Loew said he had enough options in midfield, naming Emre Can as one of Khedira’s possible replacements due to his versatility.

“He is a player who can be used in a lot of different positions. In training, he has been very convincing. Physically he is very strong and skilled. I think that a player like Can would do our game a lot of good.”

Captain Bastian Schweinsteiger was also a

doubt with a knee ligament injury and if he did not fully recover by Thursday, he would not play, Loew said.

“We will not put our head in the sand. We will try everything with the players that are doubtful,” the coach added.

“One thing is clear: I will definitely not let play anyone who is not 100 percent fit. I hope and wish that Bastian can make it.

“I made the mistake many years ago (of field-ing a player who was unfit) and I won’t make it again,” he said, refusing to name the match he was referring to.

“The thoughts we have should not go back to the past but go forward. I fully trust all my players. They are training at a high level, they are physically in very good shape.” (rtr)

BORDEAUX — Sweat and tears is what Italy coach Antonio Conte demanded from his players, and sweat and tears is what he got during a two-year reign that ended in the quarterfinals of the European Championship.

Conte, who is leaving the Az-zurri to join Chelsea in the English Premier League, transmits passion and the desire to succeed to his players. And both those qualities were on show during Italy’s defeat on penalties to world champion Germany on Saturday.

Captain Gianluigi Buffon was crying as he left the pitch, while another experienced player Andrea Barzagli also broke down while giving an interview.

“It’s a huge disappointment, be-cause we really gave everything,” Barzagli sobbed. “Unfortunately we lost and nothing will remain of everything good we have done because when you go out .... sorry .... only disappointment is left and that’s it.

“And in a few years’ time no one will remember anything about this Italy side which gave everything.” That depends very much on how Italy does under incoming coach Giampiero Ventura.

The 68-year-old has won noth-ing, apart from a third division

title during a 35-year managerial career. But he has earned plenty of plaudits for the work he did with Torino, where he forged a team which was worth more than the sum of its parts — much like Conte did with Italy.

And Ventura will have more to work with than Conte, who took over after the disappoint-ment of the 2014 World Cup. The Azzurri were eliminated at the group stage in Brazil — prompt-ing the immediate resignation of coach Cesare Prandelli and the president of the Italian football federation.

“Let’s remember from where we came from,” current federation President Carlo Tavecchio said. “We returned ... with a beaten team and no federation. Then we gave the national team to a leader, and now we will start again from this Italy side.

“There are good foundations. It’s unthinkable the group could break up. We gave the job to Ventura, who has the same way of thinking.” Conte has indeed laid good foundations, having molded Italy into the image of himself.

“The contract is a long-term decision and isn’t influenced by a race incident,” team boss Toto Wolff told reporters at the Red Bull Ring.

An exasperated Wolff, who has a 30 percent stake in the team as well as being Mercedes motorsport director, had earlier slammed the latest clash between the two title rivals as ‘brainless’.

Stewards blamed Rosberg for causing the last lap incident, impos-ing a meaningless time penalty and reprimand.

The German, who has been at Mercedes since 2010 and turned 31 last week, finished fourth while triple world champion Hamilton won to cut Rosberg’s overall lead to 11 points with 12 races remain-

ing.While Hamilton has a contract

to 2018, Rosberg’s future is in dis-cussion. Austria’s former McLaren and Ferrari driver Gerhard Berger is negotiating with Mercedes on his behalf.

He told Reuters no deal had been reached yet and whether Rosberg stayed was up to Mercedes.

“It would be very short-term thinking of everybody,” he added when asked about a possible negative impact of a collision that denied the team a one-two finish.

“We are seeing here a race where somebody did an outstanding job, and then a couple of circumstances happened in the last lap.”

Rosberg has won five of nine

races so far this season and, despite some speculation about a possible Ferrari move, has said he expects to remain at Mercedes for years to come.

“It feels great to be here, and the team’s also very happy with me,” he said. “I feel really very much at home. This is my racing family here and this is where I want to be for the foreseeable future.”

Asked on Sunday whether any-thing had changed, he replied that he was just disappointed to have lost another victory.

“I had it in the bag and would have loved to win here. To lose it in such a way in the last lap is un-believably hard,” said the German, who had been chasing a hat-trick of Austria wins.

“I don’t think of a big picture like that,” he added when asked about working with Hamilton. “I’m just thinking of today and I’m gut-ted and that’s it. (rtr)

LONDON - Czech 10th seed Tomas Berdych appreciated the history of the rare middle Sunday play at Wimbledon as much as he savoured his 6-4 6-4 4-6 6-1 victory over talented teenager Alexander Zverev.

Berdych and the German followed Serena Williams on to court in front of a packed crowd of lucky punters who bought tickets the day before for a hastily arranged extra day of matches to clear the backlog after rain scrambled the schedule.

It is just the fourth time since the tournament started in 1877 that the weather has forced organisers to throw open the doors on what is traditionally a rest day for the players. The last time was in 2004, the first in 1991.

“To play on Sunday, on this Centre Court, I think it is very special,” Berdych, 30, said in a court-side interview.

“I am one of the guys that really love traditions ... it is just the fourth time in such a long history of the championship that we are playing on the middle Sunday.

“I get a chance to play, I get a chance to play on Centre Court, so it can’t be better than that.”

As a permanent fixture of the top 10 since 2010 and a run-ner-up at Wimbledon, losing to Rafa Nadal in the same year, Berdych knows class when he sees it and heralded his 19-year-old opponent, seeded 24, as a future grand slam winner.

“He is definitely the guy are we going to hear about a lot,” he said of Zverev, who has equalled his best slam result after also reaching round three of the French Open.

Zverev dismissed any pressure from being talked up as a possible future number one.

“There’s been a million future number ones that never got to number one. There’s other guys right now who want to become number one after Novak,” he told reporters.

Berdych will face Jiri Vesely in an all-Czech fourth-round clash on Monday after Vesely beat 31st seed Joao Sousa of Portugal 6-2 6-2 7-5. (rtr)

The attack on the shopping area of Kar-rada is the deadliest since U.S.-backed Iraqi forces last month scored a major victory when it dislodged Islamic State from their stronghold of Falluja, an hour’s drive west of the capital. It is also the deadliest so far this year.

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had ordered the offensive after a series of bomb-ings in Baghdad, saying Falluja served as a launchpad for such attacks on the capital. However, bombings have continued.

A convoy carrying Abadi who had come to tour the site of the bombings was pelted with stones and bottles by residents, angry at what they felt were false promises of bet-ter security.

A refrigerator truck packed with explo-sives blew up in the central district of Kar-rada, killing 115 people and injuring at least 200. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement circulated online by supporters of the ultra-hardline Sunni group. It said the blast was a suicide bombing.

Karrada was busy at the time as Iraqis eat out and shop late during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which ends next week with the Eid al-Fitr festival.

The White House on Sunday said the attack only strengthened the United States’

resolve to confront Islamic State. “We remain united with the Iraqi people and government in our combined efforts to destroy ISIL,” said the White House statement, referring to Islamic State.

Videos posted on social media showed people running after the SUV convoy of Abadi as he left Karrada after touring the scene, throwing pavement stones, bottles of water, empty buckets and slippers, venting their anger at the inability of the security forces to protect the area.

Abadi declared three days of mourning for the victims, according to state-run media that also cited him saying he understood the angry reaction of residents.

Another video posted on social media showed a large blaze in the main street of Karrada, a largely Shi’ite district with a small Christian community and a few Sunni mosques.

Reuters TV footage taken in the morn-ing showed at least four buildings severely damaged or partly collapsed, including a shopping mall believed to be the target, and gutted cars scattered all around.

The toll climbed during the day as rescuers pulled out more bodies from under the rubble and people succumbed to their injuries.

Comments posted on social media ac-cused security forces of continuing to use

fake bomb detectors at checkpoints filtering traffic in Baghdad, five years after the scandal broke out about a device commonly known as the ‘magic wand’.

A police officer in Baghdad confirmed

these hand-held ADE 651 detectors were still in use. They were sold to Iraq and other nations by a British businessman who was jailed for 10 years in 2013 in Britain for endangering lives for profit. (rtr)

Nearly 120 killed in overnight Baghdad bombings claimed by IS

RIYADH - A suicide bomber was killed and two people were wounded in a blast near the U.S. consulate in Saudi Arabia’s second city of Jeddah early on Monday, state TV said, the first bomb-ing in years to attempt to target foreigners in the kingdom.

The attacker parked his car outside a hospital opposite the consulate at about 2.15 a.m. and deto-nated his device after being approached by two security men, killing him and lightly wounding

them, it said, quoting a security spokesman.Three further blasts rocked the location of the

bombing hours later, a witness told Reuters, as police carried out what appeared to be controlled explosions near the site.

A video sent by the witness showed police tak-ing cover behind vehicles and covering their ears before a blast.

In a statement, the U.S. consulate said there were no casualties or injuries among its staff, adding that it and the U.S. embassy were in contact with Saudi authorities investigating the incident.

Reuters could not immediately reach officials for further details. A photograph on the Sabq news website showed what appeared to be the remains of a man lying beside a taxi.

State television avoided direct reference to the presence of the diplomatic mission, mentioning only the street address, an apparent effort to down-play the likely target of the attack.

A State Department message to U.S. citizens in Saudi Arabia reiterated advice to keep aware of their surroundings and take extra precautions when travelling.

The witness said the area had been closed off by security forces, with helicopters hovering over-head. The explosion appeared to have taken place about 20 m (65 feet) from an outer checkpoint of the consulate, he added. Concrete barriers protect the street outside the consulate.

Islamic State has carried out a series of bomb-ing and shooting attacks in Saudi Arabia since mid-2014 that have killed scores of people, mostly members of the Shi’ite Muslim minority and secu-rity services. (rtr)

President Jokowi has instructed Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan to be ready to meet the flow of homecoming traffic during Leba-ran this year.

“In line with the Presidents directives there are two things that have to be done. First is eliminating gridlocks during homecoming and

returning journeys. This is a tough job,” Ignasius said when leading a roll call ahead of the Lebaran opera-tions at his office recently.

President Jokowi has also called for increasing the safety of travel-ers during their travel to and from home.

Ignasius also urged the authori-ties to take firm action against any violation of traffic regulations, especially the one that endangers the safety of other travelers.

“From seven days before and seven days after Lebaran last year, there were more than 700 people killed on the street. It is a tough job (assuring safety),” he said. (ant)

JAKARTA - National Coordi-nator of Voter Education Network (JPPR) Masykurudin Hafidz said the Friends of Ahok emerges as a form of criticism of the perfor-mance of political parties in the country. The group of young people have expressed their disappoint-ment with the political parties, with many corrupt representatives in the countrys parliament, Masykurudin said.

He said the success of the Friends of Ahok in gathering one million supporters for Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok to run as independent candidate to contest the next gubernatorial election in 2017, deserves high appreciation. The Friends of Ahok are only a small group of young people, but they have done a big job of gathering more than 1 million identity cards (KTP) of supporters, he said.

“The young generation has an advantage of being closer to digi-talization and access to information

that the process of gathering sup-porters is easier, he said. Friends of Ahok said so far they have gathered more than 1,024,632 supporters not far from the total votes of 1,231,843 garnered by PDIP, the ruling party that led in Jakarta in the last legisla-tive election in 2014.

“The number of KTPs of sup-porters gathered by the Friends of Ahok exceeded the total votes of 592,568 for Gerindra in the legisla-tive election and 452,224 for PPP,” Masykurudin said. The one million votes to be given by Ahok support-ers are equivalent to 25 seats at the Jakarta city council (DPRD).

Masykurudin said the support is enough for a candidate to run without coalition with political parties. Based on experience in regional elections political parties tended to pick elitist candidates and coalition is formed solely to seek victory regardless of the ideology. “Political parties have little interest in grooming cadres representing the local people,” he said.(ant)

This socialist country is suffer-ing from severe food shortages that are making it hard to get enough to eat, even though Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world. Government officials blame the shortfalls on right-wing business owners hoarding products to sow chaos, while their detractors say

it’s the result of chronic economic mismanagement. At the same time, food production and imports are down and inflation is high.

Some Venezuelans who had given up produce as an unafford-able luxury are now turning to urban farming to get vegetables back into their diets.

With the help of a government-sponsored urban farming campaign, the head of the newly created Min-istry of Urban Agriculture, Lorena Freitez, hopes home gardens will make up 20 percent of the food supply by 2019.

“Urban agriculture will cushion the effects of the shortages. Cities will not be so dependent on imports, and we will make great strides in food sovereignty,” she said.

Now, amid the narrow roads and crumbling shacks of one of South America’s largest slums, a careful look yields something unexpected:

a carefully tended tomato plant and a bush of basil leaves. The family members growing the plants hope that in a few months, they’ll be eating vegetables again.

A team of researchers from three leading local universities found that 12 percent of the people in Caracas skip meals. Researchers say that is a sharp increase from a few years ago, when the price of oil had not yet crashed, and many Venezuelans still found it consistently easy to get the food they needed.

“The thing is, Venezuelans aren’t used to this,” said Central University professor Marianella Herrera.

Francisco Salazar, head of a community council that works in Caracas slums, says he and his neighbors are growing beets, black beans, lettuce and dozens of other vegetables in a large community garden. But he worries it won’t be enough.

“We don’t have flour, we don’t have pasta, we don’t have rice,” he said. “What we have is a Band-Aid that’s not going to really solve the problem.” (ap)

KUWAIT CITY — Kuwait’s finance minister says the oil-ex-porting country has posted a bud-get deficit of $18.2 billion for the most recent fiscal year as lower crude prices slash into government revenue.

Anas al-Saleh, who is also the acting oil minister, was quoted in the state-run Kuwait News Agency on Sunday as saying the deficit was nearly $9 billion less than budgeted for. The new fiscal year in Kuwait began April 1.

Kuwait’s budget deficit reflects the impact lower oil prices have had on crude exporters, particularly Gulf Arab monarchies that rely on oil revenues to support generous subsidies, welfare benefits and public sector wages.

Al-Saleh was quoted as saying Kuwait is “facing serious challeng-es” that require trimming spending, diversifying the economy, creating more jobs for Kuwaitis and attract-ing greater foreign investment.(ap)

Pauline Hanson, founder of the controversial far right One Nation party, used the political limbo that has resulted from Saturday’s close vote to push her far-right agenda that first won her international notoriety in 1996, warning that Australia was being “swamped by Asians”.

“A lot of Australians feel that Asians are buying up prime agri-cultural land, housing,” Hanson said at a fiery media conference in Brisbane on Monday, where she also reiterated her anti-Islam stance.

“Do you want to see terrorism on our streets here? Do you want to see our Australians murdered?”

she said.With the two major parties, the

conservative Liberal-National co-alition and centre-left Labor, sitting on the sidelines waiting for a result that could take days, it was left to another independent, centrist Nick Xenophon, to mount a defence of multicultural Australia.

The power vacuum that allowed Hanson to re-emerge showed just how badly Turnbull’s gamble of dissolving both houses of parlia-ment, to clear out minor parties and independents he said were blocking his reformist agenda, had failed.

Saturday’s election was meant to end political turmoil that had

seen four prime ministers in three years. Instead, it left Turnbull’s own leadership in question less than a year after he ousted then prime minister Tony Abbott in a party-room coup.

“I think in the end he should be asking himself if he has done the Liberal Party a service or a disservice,” Corey Bernardi, a senator from Turnbull’s Liberal Party, said.

Labor leader Bill Shorten also called on Turnbull to quit, likening his position to that of British Prime Minister David Cameron after last month’s “Brexit” vote.

Turnbull, acting as caretaker prime minister while vote count-ing continues, appeared to have underestimated the protest vote that stole support from both major par-ties and must now negotiate with minor parties and independents to retain power. (rtr)

TOKYO - Japan’s re-embrace of nuclear power, on display last week with the recertification of two ageing reactors, is prompting some critics to warn that Tokyo is neglecting the lessons of Fuku-shima.

In the first such step since the 2011 disaster, Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) on June 20 approved Kansai Electric Power Co’s application to extend the life of two reactors beyond 40 years.

As it became clear the NRA was going to allow the extensions, a former commissioner broke a silence maintained since he left the agency in 2014 and said “a sense of crisis” over safety prompted him to go public and urge more attention to earthquake risk.

Kunihiko Shimazaki, who was a commissioner from 2012 to 2014, said a powerful quake in April that killed 69 on Kyushu island showed the risk to some of Japan’s 42 op-erable nuclear reactors was being underestimated.

“I cannot stand by without doing anything. We may have an-

other tragedy and, if that happens, it could not be something that was ‘beyond expectations’,” he said, referring to a common descrip-tion of the catastrophic chain of events after the earthquake and tsunami that led to the Fukushima meltdowns.

The NRA has said it would take into account Shimazaki’s position in some of its assessments.

Separately when asked about the operating extensions of the reac-tors, a spokesman for the regula-tor referred Reuters to remarks by agency chairman, Shunichi Tanaka, on the day of the extensions, when he said: “It does not guarantee absolute safety but it means the reactors have cleared the safety standards.”

According to the World Nuclear Association, an industry body, early reactors were designed for a life of about 30 years, while newer plants can operate up to 60 years.

A 2012 Japanese law also limits the life of all reactors to 40 years, allowing for licence extensions only in exceptional circumstances. (rtr)

Putu Ardila, a sales officer of the Hotel Melka, explained that the allegation of torture as in the video posted in the social media like Instagram and Facebook widely at issue is not true. A total of five dolphins are treated in three special pools. Dolphins are fed with fresh fish every morning and afternoon.

He even showed the five-year work plan as a conservation organi-zation, CV. Melka Satwa. “Actually there is no (torture of dolphin—Ed). We have complete permission. The account owner posting the informa-tion (on Instagram and Facebook—Ed) have never met me. I do not know where he got the video from,” he said, Saturday (Jul. 2).

He explained that each animal coming in and maintained by CV. Melka Satwa belongs to deposited animal. The accusation of getting dolphin in the coastal area of Lovina and transferred to hotel is considered to be excessive even though the posting does not directly mention the name of location.

Melka as one of the hotels hav-ing been known to general public in Buleleng indeed takes care of dolphins. Management immedi-ately clarified the allegations to the public. “CV Melka Satwa has a permit. The animals are usually commended here. The animals ac-cepted here are only belonging to the Natural Resources Conserva-tion Agency (KSDA) or ministry. We do not receive animals from individual to be kept here. All the animals here belong to the state. We are authorized to maintain,” said this man from Sukasada.

Moreover, every time caring for dolphins CV Melka Satwa as a conservation organization spends its own expense to buy fish for dolphin consumption. “Actu-ally Melka spends its own fund for maintenance of the dolphins. Melka does not buy dolphins from someone. Well, if there are animals commended here and die, we also make a dossier (BAP),” he explained.

He added that dolphins and other animals at the CV. Melka Satwa are intended for a medium of education for children. Especially for dolphins, he has a special trick when feeding them. “So, many stu-dents of kindergarten or elementary school like to see dolphins here,” he added.

He asserted that it is not true if the dolphins are abused and ex-ploited. But he personally did not dismiss if there additional cost for the dolphin food taken from visi-tors’ ticket. “If it is said a show, it is not correct as well. Every morn-ing at 09:00 we have schedule to feed dolphins. There is no charge to in-house guests, but walk-in guests are charged ticket at IDR 75,000. The ticket is charged to see the animals here, not only for dolphins,” he said.

He is even worried if the posting of dolphin in social media is taken from somewhere else and not in North Bali because the manage-ment of Melka has a permit and recommendation from the ministry. “Dolphin attraction only uses a ball, while the remaining they play while hopping in search of the food given. It is intended to activate the muscles of dolphins. Well, it is just like a sport,” he said. (kmb34)

DENPASAR - Chris Smalling has been in hospital in Bali, Indo-nesia with food poisoning which led to him fainting, his club Man-chester United said in a statement.

A source close to the club told ESPN FC earlier on Monday that United were investigating after a picture of Smalling on a hospital bed surfaced on social media, and a club statement was released giving the official reason.

The statement added that Small-ing is “now feeling fine” and that the player thanked everyone for their support. Smalling has been in Bali on holiday ahead of reporting back for preseason training later this month.

United players who have been involved in the European Champi-onship will return to the club later than those not involved. Players who were not given delayed holi-days, after international duty, begin work this week with new manager Jose Mourinho.

The 26-year-old had played the full 90 minutes in all four of England’s matches at the European Championship in France before go-

ing away to the Indonesian island.During the tournament, his fit-

ness had also been in the spotlight when he was pictured with an ice pack on a knee following a train-ing session, as England prepared to face Russia in their opening

match.Smalling’s physicality has al-

ready been tested over the past year, having been a regular starter for United during a busy campaign, playing in 55 matches for the club in all competitions. (rtr)

The Five-hundred-metre Aperture Spherical Telescope, or FAST, is the size of 30 football fields and has been hewed out of a mountain in the poor southwestern province of Guizhou.

Scientists will now start debug-ging and trials of the telescope, Zheng Xiaonian, deputy head of the National Astronomical Obser-vation under the Chinese Acad-emy of Sciences, which built the telescope, told the official Xinhua news agency.

“The project has the potential to search for more strange objects to better understand the origin of the universe and boost the global hunt for extraterrestrial life,” the report paraphrased Zheng as saying.

The 1.2-billion yuan ($180 mil-lion) radio telescope would be a global leader for the next one to two decades, Zheng added.

The telescope, which has taken about five years to build, is ex-pected to begin operations in

September.Advancing China’s space pro-

gramme is a priority for Beijing, with President Xi Jinping calling for the country to establish itself as a space power.

China’s ambitions include put-ting a man on the moon by 2036 and building a space station, work on which has already begun.

China insists its programme is for peaceful purposes, but the U.S. Defense Department has high-lighted China’s increasing space capabilities, saying it is pursuing activities aimed to prevent ad-versaries from using space-based assets in a crisis. (rtr)

China eyes hunt for alien life with giant

telescope

LOS ANGELES — A solar-powered spacecraft is spinning toward Jupiter for the closest en-counter with the biggest planet in our solar system.

NASA’s Juno spacecraft fires its main rocket engine late Monday to slow itself down from a speed of 150,000 mph (250,000 kph) and slip into orbit around Jupiter.

With Juno on autopilot, the deli-cately choreographed move comes without any help from ground controllers.

Juno is traveling through a hos-tile radiation environment, “but it should be able to withstand it,” said Kenny Starnes, program manager for Lockheed Martin, which built the spacecraft.

Juno’s camera and other instru-ments were switched off for the arrival so there won’t be any pic-tures at the moment the spacecraft reaches its destination. Scientists have promised close-up views of Jupiter when Juno skims the cloud tops during the 20-month, $1.1 bil-lion mission.

The fifth rock from the sun and the heftiest planet in the solar sys-tem, Jupiter is what’s known as a gas giant — a ball of hydrogen and helium — unlike rocky Earth and Mars. With its billowy clouds and colorful stripes, Jupiter is an ex-treme world that likely formed first, shortly after the sun. Unlocking its history may hold clues to under-standing how Earth and the rest of the solar system developed.

Named after Jupiter’s cloud-piercing wife, Juno is only the second mission designed to spend time at Jupiter. Galileo, launched in

1989, circled Jupiter for 14 years, beaming back splendid views of the planet and its numerous moons. It uncovered signs of an ocean beneath the icy surface of Europa, considered a top target in the search for life outside Earth.

Juno’s mission: To peer through Jupiter’s cloud-socked atmosphere and map the interior from a unique vantage point above the poles. Among the lingering questions: How much water exists? Is there a solid core? Why are Jupiter’s southern and northern lights the brightest in the solar system?

There’s also the mystery of its Great Red Spot. Recent observa-tions by the Hubble Space Tele-scope revealed the centuries-old monster storm in Jupiter’s atmo-sphere is shrinking.

The trek to Jupiter, spanning nearly five years and 1.8 billion miles (2.8 billion kilometers), took Juno on a tour of the inner solar system followed by a swing past Earth that catapulted it beyond the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Along the way, Juno became the first spacecraft to cruise this far out powered by the sun, beating Europe’s comet-chasing Rosetta spacecraft. A trio of massive solar wings sticks out from Juno like blades from a windmill, generating 500 watts of power to run its nine instruments.

Plans called for Juno to swoop within 3,000 miles (5,000 kilome-ters) of Jupiter’s clouds — closer than previous missions — to map the planet’s gravity and magnetic fields. (ap)

A 1/4 scale model size of NASA’s solar-powered Juno space-craft is displayed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasa-dena, Calif. on Friday, July 1, 2016. The spacecraft is on the final leg of a five-year, 1.8 billion-mile voyage to the biggest planet in the solar system. It’s expected to reach Jupiter and go into orbit around the planet on July 4.

BEIJING - China on Sunday hoisted the final piece into posi-tion on what will be the world’s largest radio telescope, which it will use to explore space and help in the hunt for extrater-restrial life, state media said.

This was revealed by Deputy Chairman of the Bangli House of Representatives, Komang Carles, Saturday (Jul. 2). He assessed the Kintamani Festival and Lake Batur Festival ever held by the government of Bangli has not given positive impact on tourism devel-opment of Kintamani. The festival that ideally could bring in many visitors seems to have no reverbera-tion due to lack of dissemination by the organizer.

“All this time, the festival hav-ing been implemented seems to lack of promotion. Many tourism players including the residents of Bangli do not know the festival. But only a few that know,” he explained.

Besides, the organizer is also judged to fill in the festival with more ceremonial activities than cultural attractions. So, the festival activities seem boring. According to him, the Kintamani Festival should give more emphases on cultural attractions such as com-petition of baleganjur gamelan orchestra, Kang Ching Wie dance, and other cultural attractions owned by 15 villages at the Batur

lakeside. “The attraction must be propagated. If necessary, the 48 villages must be engaged in the provision of cultural attractions,” said Carles.

Aside from cultural attractions, according to him, the festival should also be propagated with a variety of culinary exhibitions and typical handicraft products of Bangli. “In short, we must feature cultural, culinary and handicraft potential. These are what we sell to travelers,” he added.

Although the Kintamani Festival implementation so far is judged to have no impact on tourism develop-ment, he remained to hope such an event can be continued this year. He in the parliament is ready to support the budget for the implementa-tion of the event as long as all the shortcomings all this time can be improved in the future.

“Hopefully, the next festival can be organized, but with careful planning. Prior to the festival, there must be dissemination of informa-tion to tourism players and the public at large so that the festival can have a positive impact on the community. Do not make promo-

tion a week before the event,” he hoped.

When met recently, the Head of the Bangli Culture and Tour-ism Agency, I Wayan Adnyana, claimed to be unable to confirm whether the Kintamani Festival will be held again this year. He said that to organize a festival featur-ing many cultural attractions need large funding. “It will depend on the availability of fund later on,” he explained.

He added that as a commitment of the Regent of Bangli, I Made Gianyar, the agency is currently focusing on the repair of support-ing tourism facilities, especially in the area of Kintamani. A number of damaged tourism facilities, especially at Penelokan will be repaired. Likewise some shortages of tourism facilities will soon be built. “In essence, we still make improvement in the facility first,” he said.

He actually very much deplored if the Kintamani Festival can no longer be held continuously. Ac-cording to him, Kintamani Festival held last November and Lake Batur Festival held a few years ago are able to be an effective means to promote tourism of Kintamani both in terms of the beauty of panorama and indigenous culture of local community.

“In our opinion, the implementa-tion of Kintamani Festival is very effective for tourism promotion of Bangli even though it cannot bring in an instant result,” said Adnyana. (kmb40)

TABANAN - To achieve a rabies-free Bali, Tabanan Livestock Agency held a mass vaccination beyond schedule. Such mass vacci-nation is conducted regularly every Sunday and the implementation began on Sunday (Jul. 3) at Dangin Carik Square, Jalan Pahlawan, in-cluding Dajan Peken hamlet, Dajan Peken, Tabanan.

The Head of the Tabanan Live-stock Agency, Wayan Kotio, ex-plained that the regular vaccination every Sunday is expected to target the dogs that have not been vac-cinated by the owner when mass vaccination was scheduled at their hamlet.

He continued the mass vacci-nation targets 817 hamlets scat-tered in 133 villages in Tabanan. However, not all dogs are vac-cinated on the mass vaccination schedule because the owners may not have time to come to local meeting hall on the day of vac-cination with a variety of reasons. On that account, the vaccination held regularly every Sunday will target pet dogs that have not been vaccinated on mass vaccination activities. “We deliberately do this on holiday so that people are not busy and do not work. It will continue to be done until Bali is declared free from rabies,” ex-plained Kotio.

For regular vaccination activi-

ties every Sunday, added Kotio, the Tabanan Livestock Agency got assistance from the Bali Livestock as many as 50,000 vaccines. Rabies dog bite cases in Tabanan have reduced in 2016 when compared to 2015.

In 2015, the positive bite case is recorded to reach an average of five people per month or approximately 60 people while until June 2016 it has been recorded to reach 19 positive bite cases. Nevertheless, the positive bite case means that there are still rabid dogs roaming around and transmitting the virus in Tabanan. Therefore, regular vac-cination in dogs is very important. “This vaccine should be repeated once a year,” said Kotio.

He asserted that the vaccines used in dogs were not charged. On that account, he expected people not to reluctantly bring along their dog to be vaccinated even though the mass vaccination schedule has passed. “The dog can be brought to the Livestock Agency if the dog has not been vaccinated in the mass vaccination. It’s free of charge,” he said.

In addition to vaccinating pet dogs, Kotio also appealed to people not to let the dog roam around. Released dogs still has the potential to get infected by the virus from wild dogs despite having been vac-cinated. (kmb24)

ing been held to promote the tourism of Bangli, Kintamani in particular, is considered not to result in too positive impact on tourism development of Kintamani. Festival activities costing hundreds of millions of rupiah are considered to feature too many ceremonial activities rather than cultural attractions. In the future, the festival is expected to be well prepared. In order to be able to bring in many visitors, dissemination of informa-tion to tourism players and wider community is expected to be carried out far in advance.

COVER STORYHe also explained if the terrorists’

children are excluded, they will come to be a terrorist. “Hopefully, the press can provide a good education for the public, chiefly in interpreting or fol-lowing the news on the terrorist act or

incidents. When publishing wrongly, it will have a great impact. We also hope the public to be more mature and intelligent in receiving informa-tion related to terrorist,” he said.

According to him, Bali remains potential to be a terrorist target and if it is not addressed together, the tourism development continues to increase. “I am afraid if this nation has forgotten the efforts to prevent terrorism because having been preoc-cupied by other issues. Sensitizing and awakening back the public will be able to continue the prevention and should be intensified,” he said.

As the latest information, added Dekananto, originally the potential targets included Jakarta and Bali. But lately it has been changed into Medan, Surabaya and Bali. Bali stays potentially to be the target. If people and security forces are not active or proactive in the prevention, terrorist networks will move. They take advantage of the situation. On that account, pacalang or customary security guard should actively tackle the inspection including against migrants, while police officers with security officers must improve raid at the entrance gates to Bali.

“They’re always wondering when police and community are careless. At that time, they go in. We realize that terrorism is an extraordinary crime. Moreover, they depart from an ideology and will be difficult to eradicate. It is unlike other crimes,” said Dekananto.

When talking about ideology, he added, it is difficult to be overcome, let alone have deeply rooted. If they are confidence to die in a ‘holy war’ and will be met by angels, it is dif-ficult to change. On that account, police and mass media as societal components can play a quite signifi-cant role in order to prevent terrorism in Bali. “Currently, the condition of Bali is relatively favorable but may not be negligent. Local government and customary village must actively cooperate to do prevention,” he said.

Prevention Director of the nation-al counterterrorism agency (BNPT), Brig. Gen. Hamidin, said that almost all the countries have experienced the issue of terrorism. Currently around ten large organizations com-mit terrorist activities. “Indonesia is the only country being capable of dealing with three generations of ter-

rorists. In the first Bali bombing, our country was able to uncover the first to third generations of the terrorists. Other countries can rarely do it. We are able to muzzle three generations,” he said.

Actually the current terrorists, said Hamidin, are not as good as that of the Bali bombers I. It is not the issue, but why young generation are so easily going radical, willing to sacrifice their life just to kill others? However, he admitted that public awareness of not becoming radical is getting better. “Do not perceive if the ISIS entirely consists of Islam. There are also atheists joining with them. Tomorrow, terrorist will not only involve the ideology,” said Hamidin.

On that account, prevention of terrorism cannot only be done by the state, but all the elements of society must be involved in it, including the mass media. On combating terror-ism, the BNPT does three things: law enforcement, prosecution mat-ters related to individuals or terrorist groups from coming into jail to treat-ment after being released from jail so that they are aware and able to return to normal society. Additionally,

the BNPT also makes an approach through cooperation between the ministries. Such cooperation cannot be avoided when preventing terror-ism from developing in Indonesia.

An academician, Prof. Dr. Rai Setiabudhi, also agreed that Bali-nese people may not get complacent against terrorist acts although so far, the condition of Bali is conducive from terrorism efforts.

“Do not become complacent and lulled by the safe condition. Increased vigilance must continue to be done. For example, it can be made through raid of migrants, checking hotels, inns and boarding houses. Security forces especially police authority must continuously conduct raids and tighten the examinations at the entrance to Bali,” he said.

Customary villages, he continued, can take part and become the avant-garde in maintaining security in each region. There must be no gap for ter-rorists to enter into the Bali region. “Let’s work together to increase alertness, especially in the backflow period after the Eid celebration. Do not let any opportunity be exploited by terrorists,” said Prof. Rai Setia-budhi. (rah)

The data at the Gilimanuk check-point indicated that from day seven before the Eid or Thursday (Jun. 30) through Sunday there have been 216,387 passengers, 47,165 motor-cycles and 22,403 cars ferried.

In the meantime, when calculated from day twelve or Saturday (Jun. 26), there have been totally 64,296 motorcycles and 41,856 cars cross-ing. Then, the number of passengers, including inside the vehicle, reached 330,000 people or almost equal to the total population of Jembrana (2015). This number will continue to grow until day one before the Eid.

As observation of Bali Post from Sunday morning, the number of mo-torcycle continued to increase and so were the family cars continuing to connect until Sunday afternoon. In contrast to previous days, thousands

of motorized homecomers thronged Gilimanuk.

The climax occurred on Sunday morning, where the queue of motor-cycles reached about two kilometers away from the harbor. Thus, they jos-tled each other and a lot of motorized homecomers broke through sidewalk. “Normally the sidewalk is empty and taken advantage to unwind for hitch-hiked passengers. Now, it is entirely taken by motorcycles,” lamented one of the residents telling reporters. A number of sidewalks like the road section along the headman office were occupied by motorcycles.

When entering midday, the situ-ation was increasingly crowded. Moreover, the queue filled up the lane of road side in front of the Gilimanuk Market usually used for two lines. On the right side was filled up by trucks

and buses, and more than half was filled up by the queue of motorcycles. Thus, the motorized homecomers were seen like an ocean of people. A motorized homecomer, Nuranini, stated to have come up at Gilimanuk at 02:00 and was just about to board the ship around 09:00. This woman going home with her toddler admitted to sleep in a doorway. “Now, I am just about to go aboard, but still waiting for my husband standing in a queue in the tent,” she said when having a break in front of pontoon pier of Gilimanuk Harbor.

In the meantime, the entire piers were operated on Sunday morning. Moreover, the LCM pier commonly used for maximally three vessels to moor was used for four to five vessels on Sunday morning. As a result, both LCT and passenger motor vessels coincided. Crowded LCM pier caused an LCT vessel having been loaded to run aground.

As is observed, the Pancar Indah LCT vessel going to sail could not move because it ran aground about 09:00. Receding seawater made the

vessel’s hull, chiefly the front side, stuck in the pier foundation. As a result, the whole truck freight having boarded onto the vessel should wait until high tide, while truck drivers took passenger vessel. From the infor-mation obtained, the vessel had been actually towed by another vessel, but the rope broke.

In the meantime, last Sunday amid the queue all the officers already made maximum efforts. The queue

could not be avoided by the number of vehicles coming almost simultane-ously. Chief of Jembrana Police, Djoni Widodo, also came down to regulate the queue in the harbor area along with his team, while outside the harbor the queue of trucks still occurred with inter-provincial city buses. Truck lane was directly separated to LCM pier located at the end of the harbor passing identity card checkpoint and harbor exit post. (kmb26)

The entrance gates of Bali turned into an ocean of homecomers where vehicles occupied the entire road section at this village. Over the weekend, based on the data of the ASDP, there were hundreds of thousands of people leaving Bali with tens of thousands of motor vehicles.

LOS ANGELES - “Finding Dory” domi-nated the Independence Day box office, over-coming a trio of new releases to provide the weekend’s biggest fireworks.

The Pixar release swam to the top of the charts for the third consecutive weekend, picking up $41.9 mil-lion to bring its domestic total to $372.2 million. The follow-up to “Finding Nemo” should end the four-day holiday with another $50.5 million in receipts. It is on pace to surpass “Toy Story 3” and its $415 million haul as the highest-grossing Pixar film in history on a domestic basis.

“It’s showing no signs of slowing down,” said Dave Hollis, distribution chief at Disney, Pixar’s parent com-pany. “As people are weighing what to see, it stands out

as the only option that’s going to entertain everyone.”The July 4th weekend is traditionally one of the

movie business’ biggest, but this national holiday suffered from a weak crop of new releases, as costly adventures such as “The Legend of Tarzan” and “The BFG” failed to excite audiences. The influx of new re-leases did lift industry-wide grosses, and the weekend should be among the five biggest.

“There’s a lot of product out there,” said Paul Der-garabedian, senior media analyst at comScore. “That leads to a lot of fragmentation and cannibalization, and a lot of spreading the wealth.”

With a smaller budget, “The Legend of Tarzan” might rank as a hit. But Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow spent lavishly to update Edgar Rice Bur-roughs’ jungle king stories, shelling out a reported $180 million to produce the picture and millions more to market it.

Despite the high costs, the film did better than projected, earning $38.1 million for the three-day weekend to take second place. It should make $44 million for the holiday, roughly $10 million more than analysts expected it would generate, but that may not be enough to cover the massive budget. David Yates, who directed several Harry Potter installments, was behind the camera on the film, with Alexander Skars-gard donning Tarzan’s loincloth and Margot Robbie serving as his Jane.

To make a profit, the film will have to resonate with foreign crowds. In its first weekend of international re-lease, “The Legend of Tarzan” pulled in $18.8 million from 19 markets, including South Korea and Russia.

“You have to look at the whole worldwide results,” said Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros. distribution executive vice president, noting that the film has yet to open in major territories such as China.

“At the end of the day we always looked at this as a bigger play internationally,” he added. (rtr)

We, the International Bali Post would like to apologize in advance becuase we will not

Relations between Moscow and Washington hit a post-Cold War low in 2014, when Russia annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula and threw its weight behind separatists in eastern Ukraine. The Kremlin, however, has recently sought rapprochement with the United States.

In the Independence Day mes-

sage released by the Kremlin, Putin recalled the history of Russia-U.S. ties, saying that at one time the two countries were able to solve “the most difficult international problems to the benefit of both our nations and all humankind.” Putin expressed hope that this experience will help the two countries get back to working together.

Elsewhere in Moscow, a youth wing of the ruling United Russia party staged an impromptu exhibit on a central square to condemn U.S. military involvement in other countries. The Young Guard activ-ists put up easels with the portraits and quotes of former world leaders that the activists claim were toppled by the United States, like Ukrai-nian President Viktor Yanukovych or Libyan President Moammar Gadhafi.

“Under its current leadership,

the United States has become a parasite state that attacks other countries under any pretext, violat-ing their sovereignty, causing revo-lutions, using military force, kill-ing civilians and their destroying statehood,” activist Denis Davydov said. “We call on the United States on the Independence Day not only to preserve their own independence but also respect the independence of other countries.”

Putin officially is not a United Russia member despite having

canvassed for the party in the past. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has been recently announced as party leader for the upcoming par-liamentary campaign. (ap)

PARTISAN-SHIP of secu-rity and relevant agencies will not

be able to steril-ize Indonesia from

terrorists. The image of terrorists will have an impact on the family, even on the children of the perpetrators.

As a result, they will be ostracized in society and will live with the group of terrorists in Indonesia, even over-

seas. Besides, revenge is inevitable and if this happens then the terrorist generation will continue to appear in Indonesia. “When media publish the perpetrator’s (terrorist’s—Ed) family, then they will be ostracized. This also

happened to the wife of a terrorist in Lombok, so that she finally joined with the Poso movement because she has been published as terrorist’s family. Finally, she comes to be a terrorist,” asserted Deputy Director

of Intelligence and Security of Bali Police, Dekananto Eko Purwono, some time ago in Sanur.
