Heard, 30, filed the divorce petition in a Los Angeles court on Monday, citing “irreconcilable differences” with the 52-year-old Depp, the A-list actor who starred in “Pirates of the Caribbean,” according to a copy of the court documents uploaded online by celebrity news website TMZ.

Reuters could not independently verify the report. Representatives for the two did not return calls or emails seeking comment.

The couple got married in Febru-ary of last year after meeting when they appeared together in the 2011 film “The Rum Diary.”

The pair began dating after Depp split from his longtime partner, French actress Vanessa Paradis. Depp and Paradis are the parents of two teenage children, a boy and a girl.

Depp and Heard made global headlines last year when they ran into legal trouble for bringing their Yorkshire terriers, Pistol and Boo, into Australia as Depp was filming the latest “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie, breaching the country’s tight biosecurity laws.

Heard was charged with two counts of illegally importing the pets and one count of producing a false

document last July. A magistrate judge in April filed no conviction for Heard but issued a formal order to stay out of trouble for a month or face a A$1,000 ($767) fine.

A videoed deadpan apology by Depp and Heard for the offense, glee-fully dubbed the “war on terrier” and “terriergate” by the Australian media, later went viral.

Depp gained fame in the late 1980s after appearing in the popular TV series “21 Jump Street” and later starred in “Edward Scissorhands” and “Alice in Wonderland.” Depp stars in the sequel, “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” released in theaters on Friday.

Heard most recently appeared in the film “The Danish Girl.” (rtr)

Amber Heard files for divorce from Johnny Depp -media

LOS ANGELES - Actress Amber Heard has filed for divorce from husband Johnny Depp after just 15 months of marriage, several media outlets reported on Wednesday.

REUTERS/Suzanne Plunkett/Files TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY

It was revealed in the Wonderful Indonesia Focus Group Discussion which was held by Indonesia Hotel General Manager Association (IHGMA) in Bali Coffee on Veteran Street 63, Denpasar on Thursday, May 26. In the discussion present several General Managers from hotels throughout Bali and tourism institutions with the theme “The Role of Indonesia Hotel General Manager Association (IHGMA) in strengthen-

ing Wonderful Indonesia based with culture for sustainable tourism in facing MEA”.

One of the speakers, The Corporate General Manager Puri Saron Hotel Dr.Gusti Kade Sutawa,SE.,MM.,MBA., stated that IHGMA want to assist the government in increasing the qulity of the tourism sector. As tourism practitioner, he said that if the sector is managed properly then it can increase the welfare of the people in the island.

However, he also stated that the govern-ment is not too serious in managing tourism. This condition can be seen from the lack of master plan for tourism in detail. Not only is that but the management system of tourism also not clear. This condition is completely different with the other neighboring countries.

Singapore has Singapore Tourism Board, Thailand had Tourism Authority and Malay-sia has Malaysia Tourism Board to manage their tourism sector. The countries also have many representatives abroad to promote their tourism. “Indonesia doesn’t have that kind of institutions,” Kade Sutawa said.

In terms of infrastructures, Bali is not ad-equate to accommodate too many tourists. The target to get 6 million tourists a year must be reconsidered because the infrastructures need to be improved. For example, I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport only has one runway so it only can accommodate limited number of flights. For that reason, there is a need to have the compe-tent human resources in the government.

Focus Group Discussion Wonderful Indonesia ---(1)

To create brand, must improve infrastructures

The tourism sector becomes the main income for Bali. Tourism is

also becoming the backbone of In-donesian economy. However, there

are some adjustment is needed to be done so it can have the quality

to compete with other countries in the world. Currently, the gov-ernment already tries to make a

certain branding for the tourism sector. However, before reaching

the goal, the government must first focus themselves in improving the infrastructures especially the one

connected with tourism.

GIANYAR—Thousands of job seekers

thronged the job fair area held by the Gianyar Manpower and Transmigration Agency at the office of LTSP Buruan, Wednes-day (May 25). Similarly, as in the implementation of previ-ous job fair, the vacancies in the tourism sector remain to become favorite choice of job seekers.

The two-day job fair was followed by 40 companies with 8,260 job opportunities both at home and overseas. The sec-tors on offer are ranging from tourism, finance and banking, insurance to private educational

institutions.On the first day, hundreds

of job seekers thronged the LTSP Office courtyard from the morning to get job information. Vacancies in the field of tourism such as hotel, restaurant and spa got most demand. Some job seekers said that tourism sector, especially in Bali, is still very promising. “Bali is a tourist destination, so that the most promising job opportuni-ties are in the field of tourism,” said Nyoman Setia Wibawa, a job seeker.

The Head of the Gianyar Manpower and Transmigration Agency, Gede Widarma Su-

harta, confirmed that currently the job opportunities in tourism sector are the most desirable. Nevertheless, the job fair stays to provide job opportunities in other fields so that job seek-ers can specify their options in accordance with their own potential and capability.

He explained that after orga-nizing the job fair his agency will conduct evaluations pri-marily related to other fields beyond tourism needing to be added. He expected the job op-portunities will be more diverse so that job seekers can get more options.

Job seekers can get more

advantages from a job fair. Wi-darma Suharta mentioned that the advantages include more efficient cost of recruitment, prospective candidates that can be recruited are more varied, interview session can be made directly and the implementation of the recruitment can be more effective and efficient.

This activity will be regularly implemented. Hopefully, it can absorb labor particularly those of young age on a large scale. On that account, the government program to reduce unemploy-ment can take place more ef-fectively.

In the meantime, the Direc-

tor of Labor Placement at the Ministry of Manpower Wisnu Pramono reviewing the job fair activity said that the main purpose of job fair is to reduce unemployment. Its existence is very real and the benefits can be instantly perceived by job-seekers and employers in need of workers.

His agency hoped the job fair can be extended. To that end, the communication of government, primarily local government with local and foreign companies should be intensified. “This is made to encourage the compa-nies so that they can join the job fair,” he said. (kmb25)

“So, now we establish the pre-cise definition, tour guide is every citizen of Indonesia that performs the activities of providing informa-tion and receiving compensation, while anyone who receives com-pensation but do not have a license (meaning tour guides) is illegal,” said Chairman of the Special Committee for Tour Guides, A.A. Ngurah Adhi Ardhana.

Adhi added that tour guides previously only received assign-ments from travel agencies and travelers. While today there are tour guides operating without any assignment of a particular travel agency.

“If I accompany my friends, for the sake of familial relationship is different. Obviously, the profes-sionals taking travelers both of domestic and foreign travelers should comply with the rules on tour guides,” he explained.

In the meantime, Chairman

of GIPI Bali, I.B. Agung Parta, suggested that local communi-ties must be given first priority as tour guides operating in Bali. Thus, educational background of tour guides is not emphasized in this regard. However, the govern-ment must still strive to increase the quality of human resources of tour guides.

Chairman of the HPI Bali, Sangtu Subaya, said that tour guides are professional labor hav-ing a very strategic function and role in the tourism development, especially in Bali, where tourism has become the economic locomo-tive. “Tour guides have multiple roles such as a representation of the region or country. Therefore, they have to pass a special certi-fication,” he said.

According to Sangtu, the cer-tification is needed because many things are at stake when a tour guide communicates with travel-

Special Committee clarifies definition of tour guideDENPASAR —

Definition of tour guides is discussed in depth by the Spe-cial Committee of the Bali House of Representatives on Tour Guides along with a number of components such as the Bali Manpower and Transmigration Agency, Legal Bureau of the Bali Regional Secretariat, Indonesia Tourism Industry Board (GIPI) Bali, Indonesia Association of Tour and Travel Agency (ASITA) Bali and Indonesia Tour Guides Association (HPI) Bali in the parliament building, Wednesday (May 25). The Special Committee proposed that tour guides are defined as Indonesian citizens conducting activities and receiving compensation in providing information in connection with the explanation of a tourist attraction.

The guide is explaining to the tourists.

ers, especially foreign travelers. They include the dignity, char-acter of the nation as well as the image of the nation.

“However, of the 5,000s ac-tive tour guides, only 50 percent of them can be categorized to be professional. On that account, the government needs to provide guidance for the tour guides,” he explained.

Chairman of the Board of

Ethics of the ASITA Bali, Kadek Darmayasa, said that the ASITA supervising travel agencies re-quires professional tour guides. Moreover, the Regional Bylaw (Perda) No.1/2010 on the Busi-ness of Travel Services has already obliged to employ licensed tour guides.

“Many problems have occurred in the field. There are tour guides claiming themselves to be tour

guides though having no license of tour guide and run tour and travel businesses. Certainly it is detri-mental to the HPI members having owned a license,” he said.

Darmayasa added that mutu-ally grabbing business opportu-nities also occur because some unscrupulous tour guides are also handling package tours. More-over, they even make reservations directly to hotel. (kmb32)

CANNES — Chanel has tapped Johnny Depp’s 16-year-old daughter, Lily-Rose, to represent a new perfume.

Lily-Rose Depp announced the news on Instagram alongside a picture of her kissing a bottle of Chanel No. 5 L’Eau. Chanel also made an announcement with a picture of Depp on its official Instagram. The campaign comes on the heels of Depp’s stint modeling eyewear for the French luxury line last year.

SEMARAPURA - Various methods are used by the AIDS Mitigation Commission (KPA) to mitigate the transmission of HIV/AIDS in Klungkung. As shown on Tuesday (May 24), Chairman of the KPA Klungkung, Made Kasta, with Regent Nyoman Suwirta and Chief of Klungkung Police FX Arendra Wahyudi joined the action of distributing HIV leaflets to people passing in front of the Puputan Klung-kung Monument. The action of distributing HIV leaflets began around 07:30 by involving stu-dents caring for HIV/AIDS from SMA Pariwisata PGRI Dawan

Klungkung high school.As seen in the field, one by one

the motorcycle and car passing in front of the monument was stopped by police officers assisted by the Transportation Agency officers. Af-ter stopping, a number of students caring for HIV then distributed HIV leaflets to motorists and drivers. Unmitigatedly, the Regent Nyoman Suwirta with chief of Klungkung Police and Deputy Regent Kasta directly attached sticker on the hazards of HIV to every passing car. The action of distributing HIV leaflets by KPA officers was inten-tionally carried out because of HIV cases in Klungkung has been very

alarming.“Almost every year the HIV

case occurred in Klungkung contin-ues to rise,” said Secretary of KPA Klungkung, Wayan Sumanaya.

According to Sumanaya, the HIV cases occurred in 2015 reached 261 cases. Of the 261 cases, 24 were found to have died from the deadly virus. The case severity does not stop. In fact the KPA Klungkung found 20 more residents of Klungkung to have been contracted by the HIV vi-rus. This amount was discovered from January to May 2016. They do not only happen in mainland Klungkung, but also spread to

Nusa Penida. Some of the sufferers already died.

“It is just like the iceberg where the cases of HIV in Klungkung have been already very alarming,” said Wayan Sumanaya.

Clearly, Sumanaya said that the activity of distributing HIV leaflets in the street last Wednesday was implemented in a series of the Indonesia AIDS Contemplation Night (MRAN) falling every May. This activity is intended to provide insight for the public about the nature and hazards of HIV. He also hoped the MRAN activity could provide insight for the public about the nature and principle of HIV, the

extent of the HIV / AIDS hazards and how to mitigate them.

Similar opinion was also stated by Regent Suwirta. Through this activity, this regent from Ceningan village, Nusa Penida, hoped that young people could be avoided from the wrong association. Regent Suwirta even asked that the slogan of healthy living could be adopted by the entire society. “Let us carry out together how we supervise our children in daily life for a healthy life in the association. We have to educate them since the very beginning, kindergarten, elemen-tary, junior high, high school and onwards,” said Suwirta. (kmb)

A member of the Badung House of Representatives, I Nyoman Mesir, also mentioned that the existence of Trans Sarbagita does not contribute much to resolve traffic congestion. It happens because almost every family has now a private vehicle.

“Sarbagita is mostly taken advan-tage by curious people. Yes ... they just want to try riding Sarbagita,” said Nyoman Mesir when met at the Parliamentary Building of Badung, Wednesday (May 25).

Seeing such condition, he hoped the Trans Sarbagita bus intended to overcome congestion will not become

the trigger of congestion because most people do not trust this mode of transportation. “People do not take advantage of this bus. They ride it once, just for getting the experience. It is rather arrogant anyway,” said the politician from Kutuh, South Kuta.

He asked to review some points of the Trans Sarbagita, especially the feeder van. For instance, the feeder van of the GWK - Nusa Dua is often empty. “The bus has not become an ideal one. If they are empty every day it means useless, not to mention the operating costs. It needs to be assessed, but the feeders having run

properly must go on,” he said.If targeting school students, this

bus is not effective because they have chosen a special bus. Likewise, if for tourism, said Mesir, travelers are not comfortable when utilizing the Trans Sarbagita bus.

On the other hand, the new corridor of Trans Sarbagita from Tabanan to Ngurah Rai Airport is expected by the Head of the Badung Transportation and Infocom Agency Wayan Weda Darmaja to be able to activate the Mengwi Terminal because the bus will go into the terminal.

In Badung, the Trans Sarbagita bus

just stops at some points. Based on the information, the routes passed through include Pesiapan Terminal (Tabanan) – Mengwi Terminal - Kapal - Sempidi – Jalan Kargo - Mahendradatta - Jalan Soputan - Imam Bonjol - Sunset Road - Ngurah Rai Airport (VV).

He said that in principle his agency only supports the operations such as preparing bust stops where considered to be strategic. But Badung is disap-pointed because previously the bus was predicted to drop in at the Badung civic center, but in the notice received by the Transportation and Infocom Agency was not mentioned. “So far, it (Badung civic center—Ed) is not included. In the letter we received, the routes included are Tabanan – Meng-wi -Jalan Kargo – Mahendradatta – Ngurah Rai Airport,” he said.

For the opening of corridor 8, he said that Bali provincial govern-ment has prepared at least 17 buses. Although being unable to enjoy it directly, Weda Darmaja expected the opening of new corridor of the Trans Sarbagita can terminate the dualism of terminal. Thus, there will be no inter-provincial city bus (AKAP) dropping off passengers at Ubung Terminal, Denpasar. Weda also confirmed the opening of the new corridor will not disturb the public transport serving passengers from Mengwi Termi-nal to Ubung Terminal because the transportation by provincial inter-city bus (AKDP) operating at Mengwi Terminal has different segments from the Trans Sarbagita. Moreover, this bus only stops at specified bus stops. (kmb27)

BEIJING - China’s Defence Ministry said on Thursday its air-craft followed the rules after two Chinese fighter jets carried out what the United States said was an “unsafe” intercept of a U.S. military reconnaissance aircraft over the South China Sea.

The incident took place in inter-national airspace last week as the plane carried out “a routine U.S. patrol”, the Pentagon said.

A U.S. defense official said two Chinese J-11 fighter jets flew within 50 feet (15 meters) of the U.S. EP-3 aircraft. The official said the incident took place east of Hainan island.

Chinese Defence Ministry

spokesman Yang Yujun told a monthly news briefing China’s aircraft acted completely pro-fessionally and in line with an agreement reached between the countries on rules governing such encounters.

However, he said the agreement, called the Rules of Behaviour for Safety of Air and Maritime Encoun-ters, could only provide a “techni-cal standard”, and the best way of resolving the problem was for the U.S. to stop such flights.

“That’s the real source of danger for Sino-U.S. military safety at sea and in the air,” he said.

The encounter came shortly after China scrambled fighter jets

as a U.S. Navy ship sailed close to a disputed reef in the South China Sea.

Another Chinese intercept took place in 2014 when a Chinese fighter pilot flew acrobatic maneu-vers around a U.S. spy plane.

China claims most of the South China Sea, through which $5 tril-lion in ship-borne trade passes ev-ery year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei have overlapping claims.

Washington has accused Beijing of militarizing the South China Sea after creating artificial islands, while Beijing, in turn, has criticized increased U.S. naval patrols and exercises in Asia. (rtr)

GENEVA - Syria was the most dangerous place for health care workers to operate last year, ahead of other conflict zones like the Pales-tinian territories, and Yemen, the World Health Organization said Thursday

For the first time, the UN health agency provided comprehensive statistics on attacks on health care facilities and other violence directed at health workers in conflict areas, covering 19 countries over the past two years.

“One of the most concerning findings is that two thirds (of the attacks) have been deliberate,” Rick Bren-nan, the WHO’s chief of emergency risk management, told reporters.

Attacks intentionally targeting health care facilities, health workers, the sick and injured “represent gross violations of international humanitarian law,” he said, stressing that “if proven (they) can be considered war crimes.”

According to the WHO report, 256 attacks directed at medical structures, personnel and ambulances took place in total across 19 countries last year, killing 434 people, including health workers, patients and bystanders.

More than half of those attacks (135) took place in war-ravaged Syria, resulting in 173 deaths.

However, 2014 was even deadlier on a global scale, with 525 people killed in 338 attacks across the 19 countries, the report showed.

But Syria did not figure quite as heavily in those statistics, with 93 attacks registered in the country, killing 179 people.

Other areas that have proven particularly dangerous for health workers include the Palestinian territories, where there were 34 attacks in 2015 that killed three people, Pakistan, with 16 attacks resulting in 45 deaths and Libya with 14 attacks that left 39 dead.

War-torn Yemen and Iraq also figured high in the ranking.

Statistics for 2016 were not available, Brennan said, although he stressed that the worrying trend was con-tinuing, with numerous attacks so far this year, including on hospitals in Syria. (afp)

GIANYAR - Other than qual-ity, the packaging of a product also has a significant impact on consumers’ choice. Therefore, the micro, small and medium enter-prises (MSMEs), particularly in Gianyar district, should be able to pack their products as attractive as possible. This was revealed by the Secretary of the Gianyar Trade and Industry Agency Ida Bagus Agung Purnama in a meeting with dozens of local businessmen, Wednesday (May 25).

It was said that competition in the era of globalization is in-creasingly unstoppable. Market competition also enters a new phase, relying on speed, efficiency and unique products. Without the three elements, do not expect if producers will survive amid the tight economic competitiveness in the world.

“To that end, in addition to prod-uct quality, the packaging must be made as attractive and unique as possible so that consumers do not switch to another heart,” said the man nicknamed as Gus Purnama.

Gus Purnama explained that in general local entrepreneurs in Gianyar have been already run-ning mechanism with good product packaging. However, improve-ments must be carried out continu-ously to produce the best quality

product.Packaging of a product is impor-

tant to be considered. Packaging serves to reduce the damage and makes the goods become eligible to be traded. Moreover, in terms of promotion, attractive packaging can be an incentive for consumers to purchase. On that account, the shape, composition and color of the packaging should be planned carefully.

In the packaging, the business-men are also asked to provide protection to consumers by paying attention to details of a product ranging from instructions on how to use. It must also include complete information about ingre-dients used as well as the expiry date.

“Thus, it is not only profit-oriented. The other aspect that must be considered is protection of consumers,” he said.

His agency has commitment to encouraging local entrepreneurs to produce products that can compete in the world of commerce and industry. To that end, his agency make a synergy with Denpasar Agency of Drugs and Food Control (BPOM) and Training Center of Industry (BDI) in providing guid-ance for local entrepreneurs about how to produce a quality product.

According to the Art Section Head at the Buleleng Culture and Tourism Agency Wayan Sujana the reconstruction of both dances, namely the Legong Tombol, Le-gong Pengelep and Singa Ambara Raja gamelan composition will be showed at the opening of the 38th Bali Arts Festival (BAF) of Bule-leng at the open stage of the former Buleleng harbor on May 27-30, 2016.

The ranks of the Buleleng Cul-ture and Tourism Agency know that Legong Tombol virtually has gone extinct because the only re-maining dancer is of 80-year-old grandmother at Banyuatis village, Banjar, Buleleng. “Legong Tombol dance was composed at Banyuatis village. After growing, it almost goes extinct and currently the dancer generation is only a middle-aged grandmother of 80 years old. We in the government are obliged to preserve this Legong Tombol,” said Sujana when met by Bali Post, Wednesday (May 25).

According to him, the existence

of Legong Tombol was first known from the arrival of the academician of the Indonesia Institute of the Arts (ISI) Denpasar to the office of the Culture and Tourism Of-fice. Originally the agency indeed did not know and then made field investigation. Fortunately, a few Legong Tombol dancers remain to survive but some movements of the dance have been forgotten. “Other than Legong Tombol, we also re-construct the Legong Pengelep of Jagaraga village,” he added.

In the meantime, the Singa Am-bara Raja gamelan composition was jointly created by artists in Buleleng and takes part in the upcoming performance. Treasures of the dance pose an asset and should be preserved. Different from the cur-rent times, in the past there were no video recorders as documentation tool and the agency did not find any notes on the dance movement. “We are doing reconstruction to know about the background of the dance movement of Legong Tombol with the academician of ISI. It is danced

with the composition of four or six dancers in one stage,” said Sujana.

The Head of the Buleleng Cul-ture and Tourism Agency, Nyo-man Sutrisna, said that his agency more intensively discovers the arts through the BAF Buleleng. “The performance scheduled is tryout that will be displayed in the BAF of the Bali provincial level. We in the Bule-leng District involve the cooperation of various parties, including with the Malang District,” he added.

Besides, the other exhibitions prepared include cuisine, painting, penjor contest with 28 participants, including the cooperation with Undiksha, Mapindo Singaraja and PKK Buleleng. In the meantime, the theme Karang Awak is chosen so that the Buleleng communities can work and loves their homeland. “The theme Karang Awak is taken from last year’s workshop of the BAF with the establishment of the BAF theme for the next five years. Karang Awak is the first theme with the main theme of Panca Maha Bhuta or five basic elements. It departs from a rationale that each artist can express the ethics and aesthetics as the meaning of Panca Maha Bhuta amidst the situation where people are facing problems with nature and environment,” he said.

BANGLI - The existence of Senggol Market all this time taking up some parts of road body near the Captain Mudita Square, Bangli, will soon be relocated in the near future. As planned, the merchants having been occupying the area since 2012 will be relocated to the Loka Carana terminal area or south of the Kidul Market.

Relocation plan of the Senggol Market was expressed directly by the Regent of Bangli I Made Gianyar when met on Tuesday (May 24). Gianyar told the market relocation is carried out in the ef-fort to arrange the town of Bangli. Besides, it is also meant to restore the function of roads and sidewalks along the road.

As planned by Gianyar, the merchants of the Senggol Market having been selling from the morn-ing till night will be relocated to a more decent location. Two alterna-tive locations are now being stud-ied by the regent for the relocation

namely the Loka Carana terminal area formerly used to hold the fire victims of Kidul Market and the south of Market. “We are still checking first which one is more suitable for the Senggol Market,” he explained.

Checking of the location, add-ed Gianyar, will be carried out through the Transportation Agency and Municipal Police as soon as possible. His authority targeted the region should have been clean this week.

In the meantime, when asked whether Bangli district so far has been disseminating the plan to the merchants, this regent from Bunu-tin village, Kintamani, said there should be no more dissemination. “This relocation no longer needs dissemination because they already stated to have been ready. Now, whether they are ready not ready, we will relocate. Otherwise, the officers will dismantle by force,” he said. (kmb40)

BUSINESS

Abe and his counterparts got down to business Thursday after strolling through the grounds of Ise (Ee-say) Shrine, a tranquil, densely forested landmark that is considered the holiest site in Japan’s indigenous Shinto religion, and then joining a group of children in a tree planting ceremony.

After the first few sessions of summit meet-ings, U.S. President Barack Obama backed Abe’s call.

“We’ve all got a lot of work to do and we agreed to continue to focus on making sure that each country, based on its particular needs and capacities, is taking steps to accelerate growth,” Obama said.

He said it was crucial not just to put people back to work but also raise wages and maintain the momentum of the recovery. During the talks, Abe compared the current global economic situ-ation to conditions just before the 2008 financial crisis.

A G-7 summit held in northern Japan paid little attention to the trouble that was brewing, Abe said.

Reporters were shown charts Abe had on hand to illustrate the severity of the recent slump in commodity prices and the economic slowdown in China.

“We learned a lesson that we failed to respond properly because we did not have a firm recogni-tion of the risks,” Abe told reporters. “This time, we had a thorough discussion and recognized the major risks facing the global economy.”

The G-7 gathering dovetails in many ways

with Abe’s long-term diplomatic, political and economic agenda. A dramatic statement about global economic risks and a strong show of support for public spending to help spur growth could help Abe justify extra stimulus and pos-sibly provide political cover for postponing an unpopular but badly needed increase in Japan’s sales tax next April.

The leaders were expected to turn their at-tention to trade, politics and diplomacy, and to climate change and energy during talks later Thursday.

The annual summit brings together the leaders of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States. It is taking place amid extraordinarily tight security around the remote summit venue, with uniformed police standing guard at close intervals on both sides of roads and randomly in forests, rice fields, soccer fields and other locations.

Protesters were kept far away. A group of several dozen gathered in a nearby city where they were far outnumbered by police and jour-nalists.

Many of the issues to be discussed during the two days of talks are linked to other Abe policy priorities. They include maritime security, code for concerns over China’s expanding presence in disputed areas of the South China Sea; initia-tives on global health, including funding for fighting terrorism and pandemics; and a focus on women’s empowerment, which Abe has promoted as “womenomics.”

Japanese officials have also highlighted joint

efforts on corruption, terrorism, global health and migration — which has become a huge headache especially for European nations — as other top priorities.

“Those who criticize us should rather think how to increase their assistance because what Eu-rope provides is already massive,” said Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, calling for G-7 support and leadership. “And honestly

speaking, if they (the G-7) don’t take the lead in managing this crisis, nobody else will. I will ap-peal to G-7 leaders to take up this challenge.”

Tusk said the EU is seeking more support for refugees and creation of resettlement schemes and other forms of legal migration around the world. A possible exit from the European Union by Britain, depending on a June 23 vote, is also hanging over the talks.(ap)

WELLINGTON — Smok-ers in New Zealand will pay $20 for a pack of cigarettes under the government’s budget plan released Thursday. Polluting industries will also get hit with higher taxes.

In its annual budget, the gov-ernment forecasts that rising fiscal surpluses in coming years will allow it to begin paying down its public debt. Here are some of the highlights:

HEAT TURNED UP ON SMOKERS:

The government plans to hike tobacco taxes by 46 percent over the next four years as it continues an ambitious campaign to eliminate

smoking from the South Pacific na-tion by 2025. Once the taxes are in place, a pack of 20 cigarettes will cost about 30 New Zealand dollars ($20), one of the highest prices in the world.

Indigenous Maori have relatively high smoking rates, and the tax plan was pushed by the Maori Party. Te Ururoa Flavell, the party’s co-leader, said it was the right thing to do, even if cost his constituents more money.

“What I do know is that there are so many of our young women, because research tells us that, who are dying because of cancer,” he said. “I’m happy in my heart. If I can save more than one life, I would

have done my job.”

POLLUTING BUSINESSES TO PAY:

A subsidy for polluting businesses that was introduced to help them out after the 2008 global financial crisis will be eliminated by 2019. After that, those businesses will need to pay more for releasing polluting gases. New Zealand is aiming to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per-cent from 2005 levels by 2030.

The government says the mea-sure will help grow a cleaner economy. But opponents say the measure amounts to a tax hike on businesses, and consumers will end up paying more.(ap)

Balinese jaja gambir is a sweet treat made of black sticky rice four, mung beans, ccoconut mailk, palm sugar and salt that is commonly wrapped in baboo leave and tied with a small raphia string. Gambir as they are affectely called, are soft like toffee but with more malleability and are a favorite treat amongst Balinese and foreigners alike.

Jaja Gambir are produced and sold in Singa-raja, Gianyar, Klungkung, Denpasar and Tabanan. Their attractive green wrapping intreagues those who see these bundles of this delight hanging in shop windows or by the side of the road. Although their bamboo leaf warppping makes these sweets

appear larger than they are, jaja gambir do not dissapoint. Unwrappng these delicious treats is like unwrapping a birthday present given by a dear friend or being rewarded with something special.

“Although jaja gambir are very small, they are a best-selleer. Because the process of making them is quite complicated there are very few people who do” said IGA Putu Suryani, a cake merchant of Chinese descent from Mekar Bhuana village, Abiansemal, Badung.

Anyone who tries gambir is sure to become adiicted to these chewy delights. They taste best if comsumed right after being unwrapped. (kmb)

Several villages in Bali, have shrines and temple reliefs devoted to Men Brayut, where people come to pray. Pura Dalem in Belang Samu Village, Kusamba and Goa Gajah are two examples of sites where, on specific days people come to pay honour to Men Brayut. Many people believe that by doing so they will be blessed with children.

Men Brayut was a housewife who came from a poor family and who had 18 children. To fulfill the needs of her big family, she had to work very hard and even had to do ‘men’s work’. She was able to keep peace and harmony within her big family and with others in her community, so she is considered a very good example to follow.

According to Dr. Drs. I Wayan Wastawa, MA, a lecturer at The Denpasar Hindu Dharma Institute (IHDN), Men Brayut not only had a strong work ethic but was also spiritually diligent, praying every day. She was also very generous, sharing whatever she had and was always grateful. “Men Brayut is a symbol of the strength of Balinese women in protecting the harmony of their family”, he added.

By giving equal love to all her children, they all become suc-cessful people. Many people are puzzled by this and ask: “how is it possible for a women with so many children and with so little money accomplish this?”. Many people therefore want to learn from Men Brayut. “After all, once she accomplished all her tasks, she entered the next phase of life known as Wanaprasta in which she practiced yoga semadi”, explained Wastawa.

Men Brayut is a symbol of prosperity and a symbol of the moth-erland as described by how her children always stayed closed to her and even grasped her hair or legs to survive. She was able to apply the principle of equality to her family by giving the same heritage to each of her child. “Men Brayut is a symbol of a great leader who acts with equally towards the people”, said Dr. Wastawa.

He also explained that these days, Balinese women should follow the example of Men Brayut’s work ethic. Balinese woman should not be too strict about only doing specialized woman’s work. Ac-cording to Dr. Wastawa, there are many things that women can do: “there are many jobs that can be done by woman such as farming, construction, being security officers and high ranking managers. These jobs can be done by both men and women”, he stated. Bali-nese woman have a strong spirit for studying so job opportunities are wide open to them. “Nowadays, there is saying that ‘woman should not just rely on their husbands. Women can also feed the family’ Dr. Wastawa concluded. (kmb)

Men Brayut Symbol of the strength of Balinese Women

The story of Men Brayut tells of the extraordinary strength of character of a Balinese woman by this name. This story has become part of Balinese folklore and is often told as a bedtime story. It is a symbolic tale of how strong Balinese women are in carrying out the tasks of their daily lives. Having a strong work ethic, patience, honesty, care, and a sense of camaraderie and ability to remain steadfast in facing problems are qualities that are highlighted in this ancient tale.

ISE-SHIMA - Group of Seven leaders voiced concern about emerg-ing economies at a summit in Japan on Thursday as their host, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, made a pointed comparison to the 2008 global financial crisis but not all his G7 partners appeared to agree.

The G7 leaders did agree on the need for flexible spending to spur world growth but the timing and amount depended on each country, Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiroshige Seko told reporters, adding some countries saw no need for such spending.

Britain and Germany have been resisting calls for fiscal stimulus.“G7 leaders voiced the view that emerging economies are in a severe

situation, although there were views that the current economic situation is not a crisis,” Seko said after the first day of a two-day G7 summit in Ise-Shima, central Japan.

Abe presented data showing global commodities prices fell 55 per-cent from June 2014 to January 2016, the same margin as from July 2008 to February 2009, after the Lehman collapse. Lehman had been Wall Street’s fourth-largest investment bank when it filed for Chapter 11 protection on Sept. 15, 2008, making its bankruptcy by far the big-gest in U.S. history. Its failure triggered the global financial crisis. Abe hopes, some political insiders say, to use a G7 statement on the global economy as cover for a domestic fiscal package including the possible delay of a rise in the nation’s sales tax to 10 percent from 8 percent planned for next April.

Obama told a news conference that he stressed the importance of pushing back against competitive currency devaluations, which some countries might be tempted to use to boost exports. Other summit top-ics include terrorism, cyber security and maritime security, especially China’s increasing assertiveness in the East and South China Seas, where Beijing has territorial disputes with Japan and several Southeast Asian nations.

G7 leaders agreed that it was important to send a clear signal on the South and East China Seas, Seko told reporters, adding China was mentioned in discussions on maritime matters on Thursday.

At a news conference late on Wednesday, Abe said Japan welcomed China’s peaceful rise while repeating Tokyo’s opposition to acts that try to change the status quo by force and urging respect of the rule of law - principles expected to be mentioned in a statement after the summit.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said the South China Sea issue had “nothing to do” with the G7 or any of its member states. “China is resolutely opposed to individual countries hyping up the South China Sea for personal gain,” Hua said.

Obama pointed to the threat from North Korea’s nuclear and missile programmes, saying the isolated state was “hell bent” on getting atomic weapons. But he said there had been improved responses from countries in the region like China that could reduce the risk of Pyongyang selling nuclear material. G7 leaders were rattled by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, Obama said, adding Trump’s statements displayed ignorance and were aimed at getting headlines, not what was needed to keep America safe and the world on an even keel.

Summit pageantry began when Abe escorted G7 leaders to the Shinto religion’s holiest site, the Ise Grand Shrine in central Japan, dedicated to sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami, mythical ancestress of the emperor. (rtr)

Ahead of nationwide street dem-onstrations, workers responded to the union’s call by stopping work at oil refineries, nuclear power stations and the state railways, also erecting road blocks, burning wooden pallets and tyres at key ports like Le Havre and near key distribution hubs.

The standoff, which raises the spectre of disruption during the France-hosted European soccer tournament that opens on June 10, was condemned both by Socialist Prime Minister Manuel Valls and the country’s other big trade union, the CFDT.

After months of rolling protests sparked by a reform that seeks to make hiring and firing easier, Thursday’s stoppages and street marches were being watched closely as a test of whether the CGT-led opposition is solid or at risk of fizzling out.

“There is no question of chang-ing tack, even if adjustments are always possible,” said Valls, add-

ing that he would in no case scrap the part of the law that put the CGT on the warpath in the first place.

That part of the law would allow firms to opt out of national obliga-tions on labour protection if they adopt in-house deals on pay and conditions with the consent of a majority of employees.

However, in a further sign of disagreements within the ruling Socialist party over how to find a way out of the crisis, Finance Minister Michel Sapin told LCP television that “maybe” that article of the bill should be tweaked.

The SNCF state train company said that upwards of two-thirds of national, regional and local rail connections were operating, sug-gesting stoppages by railworkers were hurting less than last week when a similar strike halved the number of trains running.

After police intervention in recent days to lift blockades at refineries and fuel distribution depots, Valls said 20-30 percent of

fuel stations were dry or short of certain fuel.

“The situation is less worriesome as of today,” Transport Minister Alain Vidalies said. Deliveries of fuel from depots to the petrol pump were now improving, he said.

French nuclear power capacity was cut by as much as five gigawatts due to stoppages. That is equivalent to just over six percent of the coun-try’s total production capacity.

Power industry experts have said the nuclear plant strike is unlikely to provoke blackouts due to legal limits on strike action in the nuclear industry and power imports from abroad.

France has also mobilised its strategic fuel reserves to keep filling stations running.

A protest over pension fund-ing reform in 2010 fizzled out once the government of the time started breaking up fuel supply depots and railworkers became strained by stoppages that hit their paycheck. (rtr)

French union leads new anti-reform protests, seeks to maintain momentum

PARIS - France’s hardline CGT union sought to choke off power and fuel supplies and hamper the country’s public transport network on Thursday in a showdown with a government that flatly refused to withdraw a contested labour law reform.

The government has made every effort to improve the in-vestment climate and expedite business licensing by issuing a series of economic policy packages since September 2015, among others, he said. Although the policy packages have not shown significant results, in the long run, they will give certainty about the growth of the invest-ment sector, he said.

The government has im-proved national economic fun-damentals for quite a long time, he said. Moreover, rating agencies like Moody’s and Fitch Ratings have reinstated Indo-nesia’s investment grade rating since 2011.

“We have striven for it for a quite long time. When I worked for Bank Indonesia Moody’s and Fitch have assigned the investment grade rating to us only S&P has not,” he said. Fitch Ratings has affirmed In-donesia’s investment grade rat-ing with BBB-sovereign credit rating of stable outlook as of May 2016.

Indonesia deserves the in-vestment grade owing to the government’s low debt ratio, reaching 26.8 percent of the national gross domestic product, the country’s economic growth forecast of 5.1 percent and the banking sector’s limited risk, the rating agency said.

Yet, the country is still facing the high influence of market sentiment towards external factors and needs to improve its investment climate, Fitch noted.

Responding to the investment grade rating assigned by Fitch, Bank Indonesia Governor Agus Martowardojo said it suggested that Indonesia has a high de-gree of adaptation capability in facing domestic and global economic challenges.

“It shows that Indonesia has the right policies to maintain stability and achieve sustain-able economic growth with healthier structure,” Martowar-dojo said.(ant)

JAKARTA - House Speaker Ade Komarudin has said he supports the governments recent decision to issue a Perppu (a government regu-lation made in lieu of law) on child protection. “It is worth supporting,” he said at the Parlia-ment Building here Wednesday.

The House of Representatives (DPR) would only have two options which are to accept or reject it, he said with regard to it. After study-ing it he considered it was worth supporting although the final decision will depend upon the political factions in the House, he said.

“With regard to Perppu, DPR may only support or reject it. We cannot give an opinion about it,” he said. The politician from the Gol-kar Party, one of the countrys biggest political parties, said, whether or not it is accepted would depend upon the political party factions.

The discussion of the Perppu could not be integrated in the discussion on the draft law on prevention of sexual violence, which has now been included in the 2016 priorities of the National Legislation Program, he said.

“Perppu on rape will be discussed separately. Each Perppu is discussed separately and cannot be mixed up,” he said. President Joko Widodo on Wednesday signed Perppu Number 1 of 2016 on the second amendment of Law Number 23 of 2002 on Child Protection.

“This Perppu is aimed at dealing with an emergency situation caused by the increasing number of cases of sexual violence against children,” he said at a press conference at the State Palace.

Perppu Number 1/2016 will regulate the increased sentence or additional sentence and other measures for perpetrators of sexual violence against children and in cases of child molestation, based upon certain conditions, he explained.

The increased sentence refers to an additional one-third of a sentence for criminal charges that attracts a death sentence, life imprisonment or a jail sentence, with the minimum punishment of 10 years and the maximum of 20 years.

“The additional sentence will include the announcement of the identities of the perpetra-tors, the imposition of castration by chemical method and installation of an electronic track-ing device,” the president observed.

President Joko Widodo hoped the additional regulations would leave judges with enough room to impose the heaviest penalty possible for the perpetrators as a deterrent.

“We hope this Perppu will have a deterrent ef-fect on the perpetrators and will help reduce the cases of sexual crimes against children as these are extraordinary crimes,” he underlined.(ant)

Indonesia’s economy remains stable

JAKARTA - The Indonesia’s economy remains stable following the Fitch Ratings’ decision to assign the investment grade status to the country, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Darmin Nasution said here in Jakarta. “This means that under the worsening global economic condition, we are still considered stable,” he said here Wednesday.

House speaker supports Perppu issuance to protect children

Meanwhile, the head of Central Office (DPP) of IHGMA Reza Sunardi stated that the action done by the government is not enough. This is quite surprising because Indonesia has great potential in tourism. This make the country cannot compete with others. “The concept of 4P in developing tourism must be consid-ered which are product, promotion, price and palace,” explained the General Manager of Padma Resort Ubud.

Ramia Adnyana,SE.,MM., the General Manager of Sovereign Bali Hotel said that anyone can say their opinion but to improve tourism in Indonesia, action is needed. It needed hard work. The competence of the human resources in the industry also must be increased.

“We in the IHGMA want to strengthen the Wonderful Indonesia tagline. We want to promote cultural tourism so it will not be diminished by tourism culture. We have premium product, the best detination, the best island,” Ramia said. (ara)

INDIANAPOLIS - The hundreds of thousands of spectators planning to attend Sunday’s 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 should arrive early and expect to go through added layers of security, officials warned on Wednesday.

With the race sold out for the first time and nearly 400,000 fans expected at the In-dianapolis Motor Speedway, law enforcement agencies conceded that securing what claims to be the world’s biggest single day sporting event will be a massive challenge.

The 2.5-mile oval, which could hold Churchill Downs, Yankee Stadium, the Rose Bowl, Roman Colosseum and Vatican City, presents unique challenges with spectators allowed to bring in coolers and bags.

“It’s important fans understand that secu-rity this year has really been ramped up,” said Mike Bates, the senior director of safety and security for Indianapolis Motor Speedway. “Security has always been good out here but with the increase in people we thought it was our due diligence to bump those up.

“You will see a lot of uniformed person-nel out there but there will also be a lot of plainclothes officers walking around moni-toring.”

The race will be one of 11 events this year to receive a Homeland Security SEAR 2 (Special Event Assessment Rating) designa-tion that allows federal assets to be brought in to enhance security plans.

More than 50 local, state and federal agen-cies will contribute to security efforts that will include a no-fly zone over the speedway during the race.

Run on the U.S. Memorial Day holiday weekend, the Indy 500 is a uniquely Ameri-can event and with this year’s race expected to attract a record crowd it presents a potential target for attacks.

So far there have been no credible threats made, according to Paul Dvorak, special agent in charge of U.S. Secret Service at the Indianapolis office.

“It’s part of the reason it gets that desig-nation SEAR 2, it’s the 100th running, it’s an iconic event, it is the largest single day (sporting) event in the world so for all those reasons could potentially make it a target,” said Dvorak.

“Many different agencies involved and they are gathering any kind of intelligence and they have been doing it for months. We will continue to monitor that.

“There are no credible threats at this point but that does not make us sit back and relax.”

Officials would not put a number to secu-rity personnel that will be in place on Sunday saying only that it would be a 20 percent increase over last year.

A large number of additional canine units will search all vehicles entering the facility and will patrol the speedway on race day. Li-cense plate reader vehicles will also scan ve-hicles moving inside and outside the track.

Additional helicopters will help monitor the Indy 500 parade on Saturday and activi-ties in the swarming camping grounds around the speedway.

Homeland security will provide intel-ligence gathering that will include cameras

placed outside of the facility.“You need to be here early, it is going to be

a little more challenging to get to the world’s largest single day sporting event,” said Doug Boles, president of IMS.

“Come early, plan how you are going to get here and be very patient throughout that process. If you keep those three things in mind your day is going to be a pretty good day.” (rtr)

While defending champion Stanislas Wawrinka, fifth seed Kei Nishikori, Agnieszka Radwanska, Simona Halep and Garbine Mu-guruza, eased into the third round on Wednesday, world number two Murray took the long and winding road again. The Scot spent Monday and Tuesday figuring a way past an unorthodox Czech, 37-year-old Radek Stepanek, extricating him-self from two sets down to scrape through in five.

This time it was little-known 22-year-old French wildcard Mathias Borgue, playing only his second grand slam match, who led the former U.S. Open and Wimbledon champion astray.

Initially overwhelmed, Borgue recovered from a 6-2 2-0 deficit to take control in astonishing fashion, reeling off eight games in a row and forging into a two-sets-to-one lead.

When he pummelled a backhand winner down the line to take the third set Murray looked stunned and the partisan Court Philippe Chatrier crowd were in full cry.

Murray was rocking, but saved three break points at the start of the fourth set, one with a sublime half-volley, and gradually seized control again to prevail 6-2 2-6 4-6 6-2 6-3 in three hours 34 minutes.

“I lost my way on the court to-day, you know, for quite a while,” Murray, who joined the crowd in applauding Borgue, France’s 16th ranked player, told reporters.

“I was struggling to win points at one stage. I couldn’t see where his shots were going.”

“You can’t play too many match-es like this if you want to go far in this tournament,” added Murray, who has already spent seven hours and 15 minutes on the clay. (rtr)

The former Atletico midfielder inherited a team that had just suffered early elimina-tion from the King’s Cup when he succeeded Gregorio Manzano in December 2011.

Five months later, Simeone led them to a fifth-place finish in La Liga and lifted the Europa League, the first of five trophies the team would win. Only the Champions League remains.

In 2014, a header by Real Madrid’s Sergio Ramos during injury time snatched that prize from Atletico. It is testament to Simeone’s management that he has led them to another final two years later.

“Diego Simeone is the perfect coach for Atletico Madrid,” said the club’s president, Enrique Cerezo, who had overseen 52 mana-gerial changes before appointing the Argen-tine. “Football is his life and passion.”

Cerezo once said he wished Simeone could have the same impact on his club as Alex Ferguson had with Manchester United. Simeone may still be a long way off Fer-guson’s 27 seasons at Old Trafford, but he has already carved out his own legacy with Atletico.

With 173 league games under his belt, Simeone is the club’s second-longest-serving coach behind the late Luis Aragones. Halt-ing Real Madrid and Barcelona’s decade of dominance in La Liga by leading Atletico to the title in 2014 is his greatest achieve-ment so far.

Masterminding the club’s first-ever suc-cess in European football’s premier competi-tion would surmount that. Victory in Milan would give Simeone a sixth trophy and equal Aragones’ record as the club’s most success-ful manager.

Simeone is the longest-serving of all current coaches in La Liga and looks set to continue his stay. He has signed a contract until 2020 and, barring any surprises, will lead the club into La Peineta stadium at the

start of the 2017-18 season.

But perhaps Sim-eone’s most impres-sive achievement has been converting the team to his brand o f h i g h - i n t e n s i t y footbal l . Now his players vigorously defend their hard-nosed style. “We’re a group of players who’ll fight to the death for our coach,” defender Diego Godin said. “We believe in what we do and we train hard to compete with the biggest teams.”

“Every ball is a war we have to win, and I don’t see that as a bad thing,” midfielder Saul Niguez said. “We’re a strong team and we fight for every ball like it’s our last. That’s how we manage the toughest games and that’s how we’ve got to where we are.”(rtr)

Champions League trophy would complete Simeone revolution

BARCELONA - Diego Simeone has turned Atletico Madrid from a team teetering on the brink of relegation into European heavy-weights. Avenging their 2014 Champions League defeat by Real Madrid on Saturday would complete the transformation.

MADRID - It took more than two seasons but Gareth Bale finally feels settled at Real Madrid and is dreaming of big things to come. The Wales in-ternational will play his second Champions League final with Real in three seasons in Milan on Saturday.

Bale, who moved to Real from Tottenham in September 2013, lifted the European Cup in his first year with the Spanish giants. “I feel much more com-fortable this year, it’s true,” Bale said to Marca newspaper.

“You can notice that on the pitch. “I feel more integrated, I have more personal relation-ships with my team-mates and that always gives you more happiness and that reflects on my game. “I’m enjoying myself a lot in Madrid and I hope this

continues for many years.”After scoring an equaliser

in the Champions League final in 2014 in Lisbon, which saw Real beat Atletico Madrid 4-1 in extra-time, Bale found his second season abroad more challenging. Injuries and a drop in form saw the winger end the 2014-15 campaign with 17 goals in 48 games for Real.

Some critics believed the club had paid too much money in his 91 million euro transfer. “It’s true that I went through a difficult spell here but every-thing has changed,” the 26-year-old Bale said.

“Now I feel that the fans are with me and that they know that I’m giving my all. “I think I’ve proved this season what I’m capa-ble of and the fans are happy with me.” Bale has struggled with in-

juries again but his numbers have improved. Despite being limited to 30 appearances in all competitions for Real, he has scored 19 goals and provided 10 assists.

“I think my performances have been very good this season but I can still improve a lot,” he said. “My plan is clear: improve each season and raise the level of my performances. “I want to be better each season and win many titles along the way.

“I hope on Saturday I can wrap up a great season in the best pos-sible way but knowing that I can still improve.”

As for his long-term future, Bale said, “I’m very happy in Madrid and I have three years left on my contract. We will see what happens in the future but my idea is to continue here because I’m very happy.”(rtr)

Manchester United were right to sack Louis van Gaal after the club failed to qualify for next season’s Champions League, ac-cording to his fellow Dutchman Ruud Gullit.

Van Gaal, who guided his side to a fifth-place finish in the Premier League this season, lost his job two days after United ended a three-year trophy drought by beating Crystal Palace 2-1 in the FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday.

“A lot of things were his own fault,” former Chelsea and New-castle United manager Gullit told

British media. “Man United have a certain status ... no Champions League and that’s very important for them.

“Football is hard and football is not fair. So you know the rules if you go to big clubs and you don’t produce, you’re out,” added Gullit.

Former Chelsea and Inter Mi-lan manager Jose Mourinho has agreed personal terms to replace Van Gaal at United, according to Sky TV reports, and the Old Traf-ford club are expected to rubber-stamp his appointment soon.(rtr)

Incoming manager Pep Guardiola will give Manchester City a new identity,

replicating the possession-based football that was the hallmark of his trophy-laden stint with Barcelona, according to his Bay-

ern Munich successor Carlo Ancelotti.Guardiola, who will replace Manuel Pel-

legrini at City in July, made a stunning start to his managerial career as his immensely

successful four-year spell at Barcelona yielded 14 trophies, including two Champions League titles.

The 45-year-old’s three-year tenure at German side Bayern was slightly less successful as he guided them to seven trophies but missed out on the elusive Champions League title. Ancelotti was certain Guardiola would inject new life at the Etihad Stadium.

“When Guardiola left Barcelona, people said, ‘Ah he is not able to repeat the same style of play at Bayern Munich because he doesn’t have (Lionel) Messi’,” British media quoted him as saying.

“But by the end Bayern were playing with the same style as Barcelona. Different play-ers, but the style is there. It will be the same at Manchester City.

“Guardiola for this reason is a fantastic manager because he is able to build a re-ally strong identity of his team. I think Manchester City signed Guardiola for this reason, to establish a new identity, a new style, a new culture.”(rtr)

BERLIN - Germany central defender Jerome Boateng has questioned whether England have enough quality to excel at next month’s European Champion-ship. Despite having the world’s richest league, England go into the competition in France having not won a major tournament since landing the 1966 World Cup on home soil.

“England beat us 3-2 in Berlin (in March) but I do not know if

in matters of quality and con-sistency they have enough for an entire tournament,” Boateng told German Railway DB Mobil magazine.

Roy Hodgson’s men came from two goals down to defeat the world champions in their friendly earlier this year.

“Spain, France and Bel-gium are in my opinion candi-dates for the semi-finals,” said Boateng. “Along with our team

of course.”The Germans, who won the

World Cup for a fourth time in 2014, have reached at least the semi-finals of every major tournament since 2006 and face Ukraine, Poland and Northern Ireland in the Euro 2016 group stages.

England take on Russia, Slova-kia and Wales in Group B of the 24-team tournament that starts on June 10.(rtr)

INDIANAPOLIS - The hundreds of thousands of spectators planning to attend Sunday’s 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 should arrive early and expect to go through added layers of security, officials warned on Wednesday.

With the race sold out for the first time and nearly 400,000 fans expected at the In-dianapolis Motor Speedway, law enforcement agencies conceded that securing what claims to be the world’s biggest single day sporting event will be a massive challenge.

The 2.5-mile oval, which could hold Churchill Downs, Yankee Stadium, the Rose Bowl, Roman Colosseum and Vatican City, presents unique challenges with spectators allowed to bring in coolers and bags.

“It’s important fans understand that secu-rity this year has really been ramped up,” said Mike Bates, the senior director of safety and security for Indianapolis Motor Speedway. “Security has always been good out here but with the increase in people we thought it was our due diligence to bump those up.

“You will see a lot of uniformed person-nel out there but there will also be a lot of plainclothes officers walking around moni-toring.”

The race will be one of 11 events this year to receive a Homeland Security SEAR 2 (Special Event Assessment Rating) designa-tion that allows federal assets to be brought in to enhance security plans.

More than 50 local, state and federal agen-cies will contribute to security efforts that will include a no-fly zone over the speedway during the race.

Run on the U.S. Memorial Day holiday weekend, the Indy 500 is a uniquely Ameri-can event and with this year’s race expected to attract a record crowd it presents a potential target for attacks.

So far there have been no credible threats made, according to Paul Dvorak, special agent in charge of U.S. Secret Service at the Indianapolis office.

“It’s part of the reason it gets that desig-nation SEAR 2, it’s the 100th running, it’s an iconic event, it is the largest single day (sporting) event in the world so for all those reasons could potentially make it a target,” said Dvorak.

“Many different agencies involved and they are gathering any kind of intelligence and they have been doing it for months. We will continue to monitor that.

“There are no credible threats at this point but that does not make us sit back and relax.”

Officials would not put a number to secu-rity personnel that will be in place on Sunday saying only that it would be a 20 percent increase over last year.

A large number of additional canine units will search all vehicles entering the facility and will patrol the speedway on race day. Li-cense plate reader vehicles will also scan ve-hicles moving inside and outside the track.

Additional helicopters will help monitor the Indy 500 parade on Saturday and activi-ties in the swarming camping grounds around the speedway.

Homeland security will provide intel-ligence gathering that will include cameras

placed outside of the facility.“You need to be here early, it is going to be

a little more challenging to get to the world’s largest single day sporting event,” said Doug Boles, president of IMS.

“Come early, plan how you are going to get here and be very patient throughout that process. If you keep those three things in mind your day is going to be a pretty good day.” (rtr)

While defending champion Stanislas Wawrinka, fifth seed Kei Nishikori, Agnieszka Radwanska, Simona Halep and Garbine Mu-guruza, eased into the third round on Wednesday, world number two Murray took the long and winding road again. The Scot spent Monday and Tuesday figuring a way past an unorthodox Czech, 37-year-old Radek Stepanek, extricating him-self from two sets down to scrape through in five.

This time it was little-known 22-year-old French wildcard Mathias Borgue, playing only his second grand slam match, who led the former U.S. Open and Wimbledon champion astray.

Initially overwhelmed, Borgue recovered from a 6-2 2-0 deficit to take control in astonishing fashion, reeling off eight games in a row and forging into a two-sets-to-one lead.

When he pummelled a backhand winner down the line to take the third set Murray looked stunned and the partisan Court Philippe Chatrier crowd were in full cry.

Murray was rocking, but saved three break points at the start of the fourth set, one with a sublime half-volley, and gradually seized control again to prevail 6-2 2-6 4-6 6-2 6-3 in three hours 34 minutes.

“I lost my way on the court to-day, you know, for quite a while,” Murray, who joined the crowd in applauding Borgue, France’s 16th ranked player, told reporters.

“I was struggling to win points at one stage. I couldn’t see where his shots were going.”

“You can’t play too many match-es like this if you want to go far in this tournament,” added Murray, who has already spent seven hours and 15 minutes on the clay. (rtr)

ISE-SHIMA - Group of Seven leaders voiced concern about emerg-ing economies at a summit in Japan on Thursday as their host, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, made a pointed comparison to the 2008 global financial crisis but not all his G7 partners appeared to agree.

The G7 leaders did agree on the need for flexible spending to spur world growth but the timing and amount depended on each country, Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiroshige Seko told reporters, adding some countries saw no need for such spending.

Britain and Germany have been resisting calls for fiscal stimulus.“G7 leaders voiced the view that emerging economies are in a severe

situation, although there were views that the current economic situation is not a crisis,” Seko said after the first day of a two-day G7 summit in Ise-Shima, central Japan.

Abe presented data showing global commodities prices fell 55 per-cent from June 2014 to January 2016, the same margin as from July 2008 to February 2009, after the Lehman collapse. Lehman had been Wall Street’s fourth-largest investment bank when it filed for Chapter 11 protection on Sept. 15, 2008, making its bankruptcy by far the big-gest in U.S. history. Its failure triggered the global financial crisis. Abe hopes, some political insiders say, to use a G7 statement on the global economy as cover for a domestic fiscal package including the possible delay of a rise in the nation’s sales tax to 10 percent from 8 percent planned for next April.

Obama told a news conference that he stressed the importance of pushing back against competitive currency devaluations, which some countries might be tempted to use to boost exports. Other summit top-ics include terrorism, cyber security and maritime security, especially China’s increasing assertiveness in the East and South China Seas, where Beijing has territorial disputes with Japan and several Southeast Asian nations.

G7 leaders agreed that it was important to send a clear signal on the South and East China Seas, Seko told reporters, adding China was mentioned in discussions on maritime matters on Thursday.

At a news conference late on Wednesday, Abe said Japan welcomed China’s peaceful rise while repeating Tokyo’s opposition to acts that try to change the status quo by force and urging respect of the rule of law - principles expected to be mentioned in a statement after the summit.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said the South China Sea issue had “nothing to do” with the G7 or any of its member states. “China is resolutely opposed to individual countries hyping up the South China Sea for personal gain,” Hua said.

Obama pointed to the threat from North Korea’s nuclear and missile programmes, saying the isolated state was “hell bent” on getting atomic weapons. But he said there had been improved responses from countries in the region like China that could reduce the risk of Pyongyang selling nuclear material. G7 leaders were rattled by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, Obama said, adding Trump’s statements displayed ignorance and were aimed at getting headlines, not what was needed to keep America safe and the world on an even keel.

Summit pageantry began when Abe escorted G7 leaders to the Shinto religion’s holiest site, the Ise Grand Shrine in central Japan, dedicated to sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami, mythical ancestress of the emperor. (rtr)

Ahead of nationwide street dem-onstrations, workers responded to the union’s call by stopping work at oil refineries, nuclear power stations and the state railways, also erecting road blocks, burning wooden pallets and tyres at key ports like Le Havre and near key distribution hubs.

The standoff, which raises the spectre of disruption during the France-hosted European soccer tournament that opens on June 10, was condemned both by Socialist Prime Minister Manuel Valls and the country’s other big trade union, the CFDT.

After months of rolling protests sparked by a reform that seeks to make hiring and firing easier, Thursday’s stoppages and street marches were being watched closely as a test of whether the CGT-led opposition is solid or at risk of fizzling out.

“There is no question of chang-ing tack, even if adjustments are always possible,” said Valls, add-

ing that he would in no case scrap the part of the law that put the CGT on the warpath in the first place.

That part of the law would allow firms to opt out of national obliga-tions on labour protection if they adopt in-house deals on pay and conditions with the consent of a majority of employees.

However, in a further sign of disagreements within the ruling Socialist party over how to find a way out of the crisis, Finance Minister Michel Sapin told LCP television that “maybe” that article of the bill should be tweaked.

The SNCF state train company said that upwards of two-thirds of national, regional and local rail connections were operating, sug-gesting stoppages by railworkers were hurting less than last week when a similar strike halved the number of trains running.

After police intervention in recent days to lift blockades at refineries and fuel distribution depots, Valls said 20-30 percent of

fuel stations were dry or short of certain fuel.

“The situation is less worriesome as of today,” Transport Minister Alain Vidalies said. Deliveries of fuel from depots to the petrol pump were now improving, he said.

French nuclear power capacity was cut by as much as five gigawatts due to stoppages. That is equivalent to just over six percent of the coun-try’s total production capacity.

Power industry experts have said the nuclear plant strike is unlikely to provoke blackouts due to legal limits on strike action in the nuclear industry and power imports from abroad.

France has also mobilised its strategic fuel reserves to keep filling stations running.

A protest over pension fund-ing reform in 2010 fizzled out once the government of the time started breaking up fuel supply depots and railworkers became strained by stoppages that hit their paycheck. (rtr)

The government has made every effort to improve the in-vestment climate and expedite business licensing by issuing a series of economic policy packages since September 2015, among others, he said. Although the policy packages have not shown significant results, in the long run, they will give certainty about the growth of the invest-ment sector, he said.

The government has im-proved national economic fun-damentals for quite a long time, he said. Moreover, rating agencies like Moody’s and Fitch Ratings have reinstated Indo-nesia’s investment grade rating since 2011.

“We have striven for it for a quite long time. When I worked for Bank Indonesia Moody’s and Fitch have assigned the investment grade rating to us only S&P has not,” he said. Fitch Ratings has affirmed In-donesia’s investment grade rat-ing with BBB-sovereign credit rating of stable outlook as of May 2016.

Indonesia deserves the in-vestment grade owing to the government’s low debt ratio, reaching 26.8 percent of the national gross domestic product, the country’s economic growth forecast of 5.1 percent and the banking sector’s limited risk, the rating agency said.

Yet, the country is still facing the high influence of market sentiment towards external factors and needs to improve its investment climate, Fitch noted.

Responding to the investment grade rating assigned by Fitch, Bank Indonesia Governor Agus Martowardojo said it suggested that Indonesia has a high de-gree of adaptation capability in facing domestic and global economic challenges.

“It shows that Indonesia has the right policies to maintain stability and achieve sustain-able economic growth with healthier structure,” Martowar-dojo said.(ant)

JAKARTA - House Speaker Ade Komarudin has said he supports the governments recent decision to issue a Perppu (a government regu-lation made in lieu of law) on child protection. “It is worth supporting,” he said at the Parlia-ment Building here Wednesday.

The House of Representatives (DPR) would only have two options which are to accept or reject it, he said with regard to it. After study-ing it he considered it was worth supporting although the final decision will depend upon the political factions in the House, he said.

“With regard to Perppu, DPR may only support or reject it. We cannot give an opinion about it,” he said. The politician from the Gol-kar Party, one of the countrys biggest political parties, said, whether or not it is accepted would depend upon the political party factions.

The discussion of the Perppu could not be integrated in the discussion on the draft law on prevention of sexual violence, which has now been included in the 2016 priorities of the National Legislation Program, he said.

“Perppu on rape will be discussed separately. Each Perppu is discussed separately and cannot be mixed up,” he said. President Joko Widodo on Wednesday signed Perppu Number 1 of 2016 on the second amendment of Law Number 23 of 2002 on Child Protection.

“This Perppu is aimed at dealing with an emergency situation caused by the increasing number of cases of sexual violence against children,” he said at a press conference at the State Palace.

Perppu Number 1/2016 will regulate the increased sentence or additional sentence and other measures for perpetrators of sexual violence against children and in cases of child molestation, based upon certain conditions, he explained.

The increased sentence refers to an additional one-third of a sentence for criminal charges that attracts a death sentence, life imprisonment or a jail sentence, with the minimum punishment of 10 years and the maximum of 20 years.

“The additional sentence will include the announcement of the identities of the perpetra-tors, the imposition of castration by chemical method and installation of an electronic track-ing device,” the president observed.

President Joko Widodo hoped the additional regulations would leave judges with enough room to impose the heaviest penalty possible for the perpetrators as a deterrent.

“We hope this Perppu will have a deterrent ef-fect on the perpetrators and will help reduce the cases of sexual crimes against children as these are extraordinary crimes,” he underlined.(ant)

Indonesia’s economy remains stable

JAKARTA - The Indonesia’s economy remains stable following the Fitch Ratings’ decision to assign the investment grade status to the country, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Darmin Nasution said here in Jakarta. “This means that under the worsening global economic condition, we are still considered stable,” he said here Wednesday.

House speaker supports Perppu issuance to protect children

Meanwhile, the head of Central Office (DPP) of IHGMA Reza Sunardi stated that the action done by the government is not enough. This is quite surprising because Indonesia has great potential in tourism. This make the country cannot compete with others. “The concept of 4P in developing tourism must be consid-ered which are product, promotion, price and palace,” explained the General Manager of Padma Resort Ubud.

Ramia Adnyana,SE.,MM., the General Manager of Sovereign Bali Hotel said that anyone can say their opinion but to improve tourism in Indonesia, action is needed. It needed hard work. The competence of the human resources in the industry also must be increased.

“We in the IHGMA want to strengthen the Wonderful Indonesia tagline. We want to promote cultural tourism so it will not be diminished by tourism culture. We have premium product, the best detination, the best island,” Ramia said. (ara)

BUSINESS

Abe and his counterparts got down to business Thursday after strolling through the grounds of Ise (Ee-say) Shrine, a tranquil, densely forested landmark that is considered the holiest site in Japan’s indigenous Shinto religion, and then joining a group of children in a tree planting ceremony.

After the first few sessions of summit meet-ings, U.S. President Barack Obama backed Abe’s call.

“We’ve all got a lot of work to do and we agreed to continue to focus on making sure that each country, based on its particular needs and capacities, is taking steps to accelerate growth,” Obama said.

He said it was crucial not just to put people back to work but also raise wages and maintain the momentum of the recovery. During the talks, Abe compared the current global economic situ-ation to conditions just before the 2008 financial crisis.

A G-7 summit held in northern Japan paid little attention to the trouble that was brewing, Abe said.

Reporters were shown charts Abe had on hand to illustrate the severity of the recent slump in commodity prices and the economic slowdown in China.

“We learned a lesson that we failed to respond properly because we did not have a firm recogni-tion of the risks,” Abe told reporters. “This time, we had a thorough discussion and recognized the major risks facing the global economy.”

The G-7 gathering dovetails in many ways

with Abe’s long-term diplomatic, political and economic agenda. A dramatic statement about global economic risks and a strong show of support for public spending to help spur growth could help Abe justify extra stimulus and pos-sibly provide political cover for postponing an unpopular but badly needed increase in Japan’s sales tax next April.

The leaders were expected to turn their at-tention to trade, politics and diplomacy, and to climate change and energy during talks later Thursday.

The annual summit brings together the leaders of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States. It is taking place amid extraordinarily tight security around the remote summit venue, with uniformed police standing guard at close intervals on both sides of roads and randomly in forests, rice fields, soccer fields and other locations.

Protesters were kept far away. A group of several dozen gathered in a nearby city where they were far outnumbered by police and jour-nalists.

Many of the issues to be discussed during the two days of talks are linked to other Abe policy priorities. They include maritime security, code for concerns over China’s expanding presence in disputed areas of the South China Sea; initia-tives on global health, including funding for fighting terrorism and pandemics; and a focus on women’s empowerment, which Abe has promoted as “womenomics.”

Japanese officials have also highlighted joint

efforts on corruption, terrorism, global health and migration — which has become a huge headache especially for European nations — as other top priorities.

“Those who criticize us should rather think how to increase their assistance because what Eu-rope provides is already massive,” said Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, calling for G-7 support and leadership. “And honestly

speaking, if they (the G-7) don’t take the lead in managing this crisis, nobody else will. I will ap-peal to G-7 leaders to take up this challenge.”

Tusk said the EU is seeking more support for refugees and creation of resettlement schemes and other forms of legal migration around the world. A possible exit from the European Union by Britain, depending on a June 23 vote, is also hanging over the talks.(ap)

WELLINGTON — Smok-ers in New Zealand will pay $20 for a pack of cigarettes under the government’s budget plan released Thursday. Polluting industries will also get hit with higher taxes.

In its annual budget, the gov-ernment forecasts that rising fiscal surpluses in coming years will allow it to begin paying down its public debt. Here are some of the highlights:

HEAT TURNED UP ON SMOKERS:

The government plans to hike tobacco taxes by 46 percent over the next four years as it continues an ambitious campaign to eliminate

smoking from the South Pacific na-tion by 2025. Once the taxes are in place, a pack of 20 cigarettes will cost about 30 New Zealand dollars ($20), one of the highest prices in the world.

Indigenous Maori have relatively high smoking rates, and the tax plan was pushed by the Maori Party. Te Ururoa Flavell, the party’s co-leader, said it was the right thing to do, even if cost his constituents more money.

“What I do know is that there are so many of our young women, because research tells us that, who are dying because of cancer,” he said. “I’m happy in my heart. If I can save more than one life, I would

have done my job.”

POLLUTING BUSINESSES TO PAY:

A subsidy for polluting businesses that was introduced to help them out after the 2008 global financial crisis will be eliminated by 2019. After that, those businesses will need to pay more for releasing polluting gases. New Zealand is aiming to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per-cent from 2005 levels by 2030.

The government says the mea-sure will help grow a cleaner economy. But opponents say the measure amounts to a tax hike on businesses, and consumers will end up paying more.(ap)

Several villages in Bali, have shrines and temple reliefs devoted to Men Brayut, where people come to pray. Pura Dalem in Belang Samu Village, Kusamba and Goa Gajah are two examples of sites where, on specific days people come to pay honour to Men Brayut. Many people believe that by doing so they will be blessed with children.

Men Brayut was a housewife who came from a poor family and who had 18 children. To fulfill the needs of her big family, she had to work very hard and even had to do ‘men’s work’. She was able to keep peace and harmony within her big family and with others in her community, so she is considered a very good example to follow.

According to Dr. Drs. I Wayan Wastawa, MA, a lecturer at The Denpasar Hindu Dharma Institute (IHDN), Men Brayut not only had a strong work ethic but was also spiritually diligent, praying every day. She was also very generous, sharing whatever she had and was always grateful. “Men Brayut is a symbol of the strength of Balinese women in protecting the harmony of their family”, he added.

By giving equal love to all her children, they all become suc-cessful people. Many people are puzzled by this and ask: “how is it possible for a women with so many children and with so little money accomplish this?”. Many people therefore want to learn from Men Brayut. “After all, once she accomplished all her tasks, she entered the next phase of life known as Wanaprasta in which she practiced yoga semadi”, explained Wastawa.

Men Brayut is a symbol of prosperity and a symbol of the moth-erland as described by how her children always stayed closed to her and even grasped her hair or legs to survive. She was able to apply the principle of equality to her family by giving the same heritage to each of her child. “Men Brayut is a symbol of a great leader who acts with equally towards the people”, said Dr. Wastawa.

He also explained that these days, Balinese women should follow the example of Men Brayut’s work ethic. Balinese woman should not be too strict about only doing specialized woman’s work. Ac-cording to Dr. Wastawa, there are many things that women can do: “there are many jobs that can be done by woman such as farming, construction, being security officers and high ranking managers. These jobs can be done by both men and women”, he stated. Bali-nese woman have a strong spirit for studying so job opportunities are wide open to them. “Nowadays, there is saying that ‘woman should not just rely on their husbands. Women can also feed the family’ Dr. Wastawa concluded. (kmb)

Men Brayut Symbol of the strength of Balinese Women

The story of Men Brayut tells of the extraordinary strength of character of a Balinese woman by this name. This story has become part of Balinese folklore and is often told as a bedtime story. It is a symbolic tale of how strong Balinese women are in carrying out the tasks of their daily lives. Having a strong work ethic, patience, honesty, care, and a sense of camaraderie and ability to remain steadfast in facing problems are qualities that are highlighted in this ancient tale.

BEIJING - China’s Defence Ministry said on Thursday its air-craft followed the rules after two Chinese fighter jets carried out what the United States said was an “unsafe” intercept of a U.S. military reconnaissance aircraft over the South China Sea.

The incident took place in inter-national airspace last week as the plane carried out “a routine U.S. patrol”, the Pentagon said.

A U.S. defense official said two Chinese J-11 fighter jets flew within 50 feet (15 meters) of the U.S. EP-3 aircraft. The official said the incident took place east of Hainan island.

Chinese Defence Ministry

spokesman Yang Yujun told a monthly news briefing China’s aircraft acted completely pro-fessionally and in line with an agreement reached between the countries on rules governing such encounters.

However, he said the agreement, called the Rules of Behaviour for Safety of Air and Maritime Encoun-ters, could only provide a “techni-cal standard”, and the best way of resolving the problem was for the U.S. to stop such flights.

“That’s the real source of danger for Sino-U.S. military safety at sea and in the air,” he said.

The encounter came shortly after China scrambled fighter jets

as a U.S. Navy ship sailed close to a disputed reef in the South China Sea.

Another Chinese intercept took place in 2014 when a Chinese fighter pilot flew acrobatic maneu-vers around a U.S. spy plane.

China claims most of the South China Sea, through which $5 tril-lion in ship-borne trade passes ev-ery year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei have overlapping claims.

Washington has accused Beijing of militarizing the South China Sea after creating artificial islands, while Beijing, in turn, has criticized increased U.S. naval patrols and exercises in Asia. (rtr)

GENEVA - Syria was the most dangerous place for health care workers to operate last year, ahead of other conflict zones like the Pales-tinian territories, and Yemen, the World Health Organization said Thursday

For the first time, the UN health agency provided comprehensive statistics on attacks on health care facilities and other violence directed at health workers in conflict areas, covering 19 countries over the past two years.

“One of the most concerning findings is that two thirds (of the attacks) have been deliberate,” Rick Bren-nan, the WHO’s chief of emergency risk management, told reporters.

Attacks intentionally targeting health care facilities, health workers, the sick and injured “represent gross violations of international humanitarian law,” he said, stressing that “if proven (they) can be considered war crimes.”

According to the WHO report, 256 attacks directed at medical structures, personnel and ambulances took place in total across 19 countries last year, killing 434 people, including health workers, patients and bystanders.

More than half of those attacks (135) took place in war-ravaged Syria, resulting in 173 deaths.

However, 2014 was even deadlier on a global scale, with 525 people killed in 338 attacks across the 19 countries, the report showed.

But Syria did not figure quite as heavily in those statistics, with 93 attacks registered in the country, killing 179 people.

Other areas that have proven particularly dangerous for health workers include the Palestinian territories, where there were 34 attacks in 2015 that killed three people, Pakistan, with 16 attacks resulting in 45 deaths and Libya with 14 attacks that left 39 dead.

War-torn Yemen and Iraq also figured high in the ranking.

Statistics for 2016 were not available, Brennan said, although he stressed that the worrying trend was con-tinuing, with numerous attacks so far this year, including on hospitals in Syria. (afp)

GIANYAR - Other than qual-ity, the packaging of a product also has a significant impact on consumers’ choice. Therefore, the micro, small and medium enter-prises (MSMEs), particularly in Gianyar district, should be able to pack their products as attractive as possible. This was revealed by the Secretary of the Gianyar Trade and Industry Agency Ida Bagus Agung Purnama in a meeting with dozens of local businessmen, Wednesday (May 25).

It was said that competition in the era of globalization is in-creasingly unstoppable. Market competition also enters a new phase, relying on speed, efficiency and unique products. Without the three elements, do not expect if producers will survive amid the tight economic competitiveness in the world.

“To that end, in addition to prod-uct quality, the packaging must be made as attractive and unique as possible so that consumers do not switch to another heart,” said the man nicknamed as Gus Purnama.

Gus Purnama explained that in general local entrepreneurs in Gianyar have been already run-ning mechanism with good product packaging. However, improve-ments must be carried out continu-ously to produce the best quality

product.Packaging of a product is impor-

tant to be considered. Packaging serves to reduce the damage and makes the goods become eligible to be traded. Moreover, in terms of promotion, attractive packaging can be an incentive for consumers to purchase. On that account, the shape, composition and color of the packaging should be planned carefully.

In the packaging, the business-men are also asked to provide protection to consumers by paying attention to details of a product ranging from instructions on how to use. It must also include complete information about ingre-dients used as well as the expiry date.

“Thus, it is not only profit-oriented. The other aspect that must be considered is protection of consumers,” he said.

His agency has commitment to encouraging local entrepreneurs to produce products that can compete in the world of commerce and industry. To that end, his agency make a synergy with Denpasar Agency of Drugs and Food Control (BPOM) and Training Center of Industry (BDI) in providing guid-ance for local entrepreneurs about how to produce a quality product.

According to the Art Section Head at the Buleleng Culture and Tourism Agency Wayan Sujana the reconstruction of both dances, namely the Legong Tombol, Le-gong Pengelep and Singa Ambara Raja gamelan composition will be showed at the opening of the 38th Bali Arts Festival (BAF) of Bule-leng at the open stage of the former Buleleng harbor on May 27-30, 2016.

The ranks of the Buleleng Cul-ture and Tourism Agency know that Legong Tombol virtually has gone extinct because the only re-maining dancer is of 80-year-old grandmother at Banyuatis village, Banjar, Buleleng. “Legong Tombol dance was composed at Banyuatis village. After growing, it almost goes extinct and currently the dancer generation is only a middle-aged grandmother of 80 years old. We in the government are obliged to preserve this Legong Tombol,” said Sujana when met by Bali Post, Wednesday (May 25).

According to him, the existence

of Legong Tombol was first known from the arrival of the academician of the Indonesia Institute of the Arts (ISI) Denpasar to the office of the Culture and Tourism Of-fice. Originally the agency indeed did not know and then made field investigation. Fortunately, a few Legong Tombol dancers remain to survive but some movements of the dance have been forgotten. “Other than Legong Tombol, we also re-construct the Legong Pengelep of Jagaraga village,” he added.

In the meantime, the Singa Am-bara Raja gamelan composition was jointly created by artists in Buleleng and takes part in the upcoming performance. Treasures of the dance pose an asset and should be preserved. Different from the cur-rent times, in the past there were no video recorders as documentation tool and the agency did not find any notes on the dance movement. “We are doing reconstruction to know about the background of the dance movement of Legong Tombol with the academician of ISI. It is danced

with the composition of four or six dancers in one stage,” said Sujana.

The Head of the Buleleng Cul-ture and Tourism Agency, Nyo-man Sutrisna, said that his agency more intensively discovers the arts through the BAF Buleleng. “The performance scheduled is tryout that will be displayed in the BAF of the Bali provincial level. We in the Bule-leng District involve the cooperation of various parties, including with the Malang District,” he added.

Besides, the other exhibitions prepared include cuisine, painting, penjor contest with 28 participants, including the cooperation with Undiksha, Mapindo Singaraja and PKK Buleleng. In the meantime, the theme Karang Awak is chosen so that the Buleleng communities can work and loves their homeland. “The theme Karang Awak is taken from last year’s workshop of the BAF with the establishment of the BAF theme for the next five years. Karang Awak is the first theme with the main theme of Panca Maha Bhuta or five basic elements. It departs from a rationale that each artist can express the ethics and aesthetics as the meaning of Panca Maha Bhuta amidst the situation where people are facing problems with nature and environment,” he said.

In the meantime, when asked whether Bangli district so far has been disseminating the plan to the merchants, this regent from Bunu-tin village, Kintamani, said there should be no more dissemination. “This relocation no longer needs dissemination because they already stated to have been ready. Now, whether they are ready not ready, we will relocate. Otherwise, the officers will dismantle by force,” he said. (kmb40)

alarming.“Almost every year the HIV

case occurred in Klungkung contin-ues to rise,” said Secretary of KPA Klungkung, Wayan Sumanaya.

According to Sumanaya, the HIV cases occurred in 2015 reached 261 cases. Of the 261 cases, 24 were found to have died from the deadly virus. The case severity does not stop. In fact the KPA Klungkung found 20 more residents of Klungkung to have been contracted by the HIV vi-rus. This amount was discovered from January to May 2016. They do not only happen in mainland Klungkung, but also spread to

Nusa Penida. Some of the sufferers already died.

“It is just like the iceberg where the cases of HIV in Klungkung have been already very alarming,” said Wayan Sumanaya.

Clearly, Sumanaya said that the activity of distributing HIV leaflets in the street last Wednesday was implemented in a series of the Indonesia AIDS Contemplation Night (MRAN) falling every May. This activity is intended to provide insight for the public about the nature and hazards of HIV. He also hoped the MRAN activity could provide insight for the public about the nature and principle of HIV, the

extent of the HIV / AIDS hazards and how to mitigate them.

Similar opinion was also stated by Regent Suwirta. Through this activity, this regent from Ceningan village, Nusa Penida, hoped that young people could be avoided from the wrong association. Regent Suwirta even asked that the slogan of healthy living could be adopted by the entire society. “Let us carry out together how we supervise our children in daily life for a healthy life in the association. We have to educate them since the very beginning, kindergarten, elemen-tary, junior high, high school and onwards,” said Suwirta. (kmb)

A member of the Badung House of Representatives, I Nyoman Mesir, also mentioned that the existence of Trans Sarbagita does not contribute much to resolve traffic congestion. It happens because almost every family has now a private vehicle.

“Sarbagita is mostly taken advan-tage by curious people. Yes ... they just want to try riding Sarbagita,” said Nyoman Mesir when met at the Parliamentary Building of Badung, Wednesday (May 25).

Seeing such condition, he hoped the Trans Sarbagita bus intended to overcome congestion will not become

the trigger of congestion because most people do not trust this mode of transportation. “People do not take advantage of this bus. They ride it once, just for getting the experience. It is rather arrogant anyway,” said the politician from Kutuh, South Kuta.

He asked to review some points of the Trans Sarbagita, especially the feeder van. For instance, the feeder van of the GWK - Nusa Dua is often empty. “The bus has not become an ideal one. If they are empty every day it means useless, not to mention the operating costs. It needs to be assessed, but the feeders having run

properly must go on,” he said.If targeting school students, this

bus is not effective because they have chosen a special bus. Likewise, if for tourism, said Mesir, travelers are not comfortable when utilizing the Trans Sarbagita bus.

On the other hand, the new corridor of Trans Sarbagita from Tabanan to Ngurah Rai Airport is expected by the Head of the Badung Transportation and Infocom Agency Wayan Weda Darmaja to be able to activate the Mengwi Terminal because the bus will go into the terminal.

In Badung, the Trans Sarbagita bus

just stops at some points. Based on the information, the routes passed through include Pesiapan Terminal (Tabanan) – Mengwi Terminal - Kapal - Sempidi – Jalan Kargo - Mahendradatta - Jalan Soputan - Imam Bonjol - Sunset Road - Ngurah Rai Airport (VV).

He said that in principle his agency only supports the operations such as preparing bust stops where considered to be strategic. But Badung is disap-pointed because previously the bus was predicted to drop in at the Badung civic center, but in the notice received by the Transportation and Infocom Agency was not mentioned. “So far, it (Badung civic center—Ed) is not included. In the letter we received, the routes included are Tabanan – Meng-wi -Jalan Kargo – Mahendradatta – Ngurah Rai Airport,” he said.

For the opening of corridor 8, he said that Bali provincial govern-ment has prepared at least 17 buses. Although being unable to enjoy it directly, Weda Darmaja expected the opening of new corridor of the Trans Sarbagita can terminate the dualism of terminal. Thus, there will be no inter-provincial city bus (AKAP) dropping off passengers at Ubung Terminal, Denpasar. Weda also confirmed the opening of the new corridor will not disturb the public transport serving passengers from Mengwi Termi-nal to Ubung Terminal because the transportation by provincial inter-city bus (AKDP) operating at Mengwi Terminal has different segments from the Trans Sarbagita. Moreover, this bus only stops at specified bus stops. (kmb27)

Legislator names passengers of Sarbagita just curiousMANGUPURA - The presence of mass transport mode like the Trans Sarbagita passing in

the area of Badung district has not become a preferred transportation. The Badung House of Representatives assessed that passengers filling in the mass transportation all this time are just curious, not due to be really in need.

Productive Business Meeting during Ramadan at HARRIS Hotel & Residences Sunset Road Bali

GIANYAR—Thousands of job seekers

thronged the job fair area held by the Gianyar Manpower and Transmigration Agency at the office of LTSP Buruan, Wednes-day (May 25). Similarly, as in the implementation of previ-ous job fair, the vacancies in the tourism sector remain to become favorite choice of job seekers.

The two-day job fair was followed by 40 companies with 8,260 job opportunities both at home and overseas. The sec-tors on offer are ranging from tourism, finance and banking, insurance to private educational

institutions.On the first day, hundreds

of job seekers thronged the LTSP Office courtyard from the morning to get job information. Vacancies in the field of tourism such as hotel, restaurant and spa got most demand. Some job seekers said that tourism sector, especially in Bali, is still very promising. “Bali is a tourist destination, so that the most promising job opportuni-ties are in the field of tourism,” said Nyoman Setia Wibawa, a job seeker.

The Head of the Gianyar Manpower and Transmigration Agency, Gede Widarma Su-

harta, confirmed that currently the job opportunities in tourism sector are the most desirable. Nevertheless, the job fair stays to provide job opportunities in other fields so that job seek-ers can specify their options in accordance with their own potential and capability.

He explained that after orga-nizing the job fair his agency will conduct evaluations pri-marily related to other fields beyond tourism needing to be added. He expected the job op-portunities will be more diverse so that job seekers can get more options.

Job seekers can get more

advantages from a job fair. Wi-darma Suharta mentioned that the advantages include more efficient cost of recruitment, prospective candidates that can be recruited are more varied, interview session can be made directly and the implementation of the recruitment can be more effective and efficient.

This activity will be regularly implemented. Hopefully, it can absorb labor particularly those of young age on a large scale. On that account, the government program to reduce unemploy-ment can take place more ef-fectively.

In the meantime, the Direc-

tor of Labor Placement at the Ministry of Manpower Wisnu Pramono reviewing the job fair activity said that the main purpose of job fair is to reduce unemployment. Its existence is very real and the benefits can be instantly perceived by job-seekers and employers in need of workers.

His agency hoped the job fair can be extended. To that end, the communication of government, primarily local government with local and foreign companies should be intensified. “This is made to encourage the compa-nies so that they can join the job fair,” he said. (kmb25)

“So, now we establish the pre-cise definition, tour guide is every citizen of Indonesia that performs the activities of providing informa-tion and receiving compensation, while anyone who receives com-pensation but do not have a license (meaning tour guides) is illegal,” said Chairman of the Special Committee for Tour Guides, A.A. Ngurah Adhi Ardhana.

Adhi added that tour guides previously only received assign-ments from travel agencies and travelers. While today there are tour guides operating without any assignment of a particular travel agency.

“If I accompany my friends, for the sake of familial relationship is different. Obviously, the profes-sionals taking travelers both of domestic and foreign travelers should comply with the rules on tour guides,” he explained.

In the meantime, Chairman

of GIPI Bali, I.B. Agung Parta, suggested that local communi-ties must be given first priority as tour guides operating in Bali. Thus, educational background of tour guides is not emphasized in this regard. However, the govern-ment must still strive to increase the quality of human resources of tour guides.

Chairman of the HPI Bali, Sangtu Subaya, said that tour guides are professional labor hav-ing a very strategic function and role in the tourism development, especially in Bali, where tourism has become the economic locomo-tive. “Tour guides have multiple roles such as a representation of the region or country. Therefore, they have to pass a special certi-fication,” he said.

According to Sangtu, the cer-tification is needed because many things are at stake when a tour guide communicates with travel-

Special Committee clarifies definition of tour guideDENPASAR —

Definition of tour guides is discussed in depth by the Spe-cial Committee of the Bali House of Representatives on Tour Guides along with a number of components such as the Bali Manpower and Transmigration Agency, Legal Bureau of the Bali Regional Secretariat, Indonesia Tourism Industry Board (GIPI) Bali, Indonesia Association of Tour and Travel Agency (ASITA) Bali and Indonesia Tour Guides Association (HPI) Bali in the parliament building, Wednesday (May 25). The Special Committee proposed that tour guides are defined as Indonesian citizens conducting activities and receiving compensation in providing information in connection with the explanation of a tourist attraction.

The guide is explaining to the tourists.

ers, especially foreign travelers. They include the dignity, char-acter of the nation as well as the image of the nation.

“However, of the 5,000s ac-tive tour guides, only 50 percent of them can be categorized to be professional. On that account, the government needs to provide guidance for the tour guides,” he explained.

Chairman of the Board of

Ethics of the ASITA Bali, Kadek Darmayasa, said that the ASITA supervising travel agencies re-quires professional tour guides. Moreover, the Regional Bylaw (Perda) No.1/2010 on the Busi-ness of Travel Services has already obliged to employ licensed tour guides.

“Many problems have occurred in the field. There are tour guides claiming themselves to be tour

guides though having no license of tour guide and run tour and travel businesses. Certainly it is detri-mental to the HPI members having owned a license,” he said.

Darmayasa added that mutu-ally grabbing business opportu-nities also occur because some unscrupulous tour guides are also handling package tours. More-over, they even make reservations directly to hotel. (kmb32)

Heard, 30, filed the divorce petition in a Los Angeles court on Monday, citing “irreconcilable differences” with the 52-year-old Depp, the A-list actor who starred in “Pirates of the Caribbean,” according to a copy of the court documents uploaded online by celebrity news website TMZ.

Reuters could not independently verify the report. Representatives for the two did not return calls or emails seeking comment.

The couple got married in Febru-ary of last year after meeting when they appeared together in the 2011 film “The Rum Diary.”

The pair began dating after Depp split from his longtime partner, French actress Vanessa Paradis. Depp and Paradis are the parents of two teenage children, a boy and a girl.

Depp and Heard made global headlines last year when they ran into legal trouble for bringing their Yorkshire terriers, Pistol and Boo, into Australia as Depp was filming the latest “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie, breaching the country’s tight biosecurity laws.

Heard was charged with two counts of illegally importing the pets and one count of producing a false

document last July. A magistrate judge in April filed no conviction for Heard but issued a formal order to stay out of trouble for a month or face a A$1,000 ($767) fine.

A videoed deadpan apology by Depp and Heard for the offense, glee-fully dubbed the “war on terrier” and “terriergate” by the Australian media, later went viral.

Depp gained fame in the late 1980s after appearing in the popular TV series “21 Jump Street” and later starred in “Edward Scissorhands” and “Alice in Wonderland.” Depp stars in the sequel, “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” released in theaters on Friday.

Heard most recently appeared in the film “The Danish Girl.” (rtr)

Amber Heard files for divorce from Johnny Depp -media

LOS ANGELES - Actress Amber Heard has filed for divorce from husband Johnny Depp after just 15 months of marriage, several media outlets reported on Wednesday.

REUTERS/Suzanne Plunkett/Files TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY

It was revealed in the Wonderful Indonesia Focus Group Discussion which was held by Indonesia Hotel General Manager Association (IHGMA) in Bali Coffee on Veteran Street 63, Denpasar on Thursday, May 26. In the discussion present several General Managers from hotels throughout Bali and tourism institutions with the theme “The Role of Indonesia Hotel General Manager Association (IHGMA) in strengthen-

ing Wonderful Indonesia based with culture for sustainable tourism in facing MEA”.

One of the speakers, The Corporate General Manager Puri Saron Hotel Dr.Gusti Kade Sutawa,SE.,MM.,MBA., stated that IHGMA want to assist the government in increasing the qulity of the tourism sector. As tourism practitioner, he said that if the sector is managed properly then it can increase the welfare of the people in the island.

However, he also stated that the govern-ment is not too serious in managing tourism. This condition can be seen from the lack of master plan for tourism in detail. Not only is that but the management system of tourism also not clear. This condition is completely different with the other neighboring countries.

Singapore has Singapore Tourism Board, Thailand had Tourism Authority and Malay-sia has Malaysia Tourism Board to manage their tourism sector. The countries also have many representatives abroad to promote their tourism. “Indonesia doesn’t have that kind of institutions,” Kade Sutawa said.

In terms of infrastructures, Bali is not ad-equate to accommodate too many tourists. The target to get 6 million tourists a year must be reconsidered because the infrastructures need to be improved. For example, I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport only has one runway so it only can accommodate limited number of flights. For that reason, there is a need to have the compe-tent human resources in the government.

Focus Group Discussion Wonderful Indonesia ---(1)

To create brand, must improve infrastructures

The tourism sector becomes the main income for Bali. Tourism is

also becoming the backbone of In-donesian economy. However, there

are some adjustment is needed to be done so it can have the quality

to compete with other countries in the world. Currently, the gov-ernment already tries to make a

certain branding for the tourism sector. However, before reaching

the goal, the government must first focus themselves in improving the infrastructures especially the one

connected with tourism.
