R O TA R Y NEWS Rotaract Club of Bali Seminyak 2019 ‘Bike-A-Fund’ On Sunday, 23 June 2019 the members of the Rotaract Club of Bali Seminyak with the generous sponsorship of the Rotary Club of Bali Seminyak, had a very pleasant cycling tour organized by SOBEK Tours – Bali Adventure Professionals – in order to raise funds for the Club’s Elementary School’s L.I.G.H.T. program (Literacy, Go-Green and Health).

The breathtaking views over Lake Batur and the mountains served as a reminder of the natural beauty that Bali has to offer visitors from around the world. While enjoying the views, the riders consumed a light breakfast and readied themselves for the challenge that lie ahead of them.

ice-cold towels and transport for the short distance to SOBEK’s new restaurant in Kedewatan, Ubud, where everyone enjoyed a delicious lunch before being taken back to Seminyak – followed by a well-deserved afternoon snooze …. back in their homes.

After receiving some important safety instructions from a professional SOBEK guide, everyone received a bottle of water and a modern mountain bike before heading off in the direction of Tegalalang. Several ‘mini’ stops were made along the way to learn about Balinese Culture and inspect the local agriculture. All the participants now know a bit more about Hindu Temples, family compounds, bamboo and rice farming.

Lastly, the Rotaract Club of Bali Seminyak would like to give a special thank you to the SOBEK management for offering their cycles and guides to the RAC Bali Seminyak at a very reduced fee, making it possible to raise over IDR 4 million. These funds with be used to continue the RAC Club’s elementary school L.I.G.H.T. (Literacy, Go-Green and Health) program in the Tabanan Regency area. Should a student or young professional between the ages of 20 – 30, like to know more about joining the RAC Bali Seminyak Club, please contact President Prima at < primatangkas@ gmail.com>.

Rotaract Advisor Rtn. Made Wardiyasa said the Rotaractors who participated had been encouraged to ask their family members, friends, colleagues and companies to sponsor them.

The bike route chosen this year was the ‘Batur Adventure Cycling Tour,’ a 25 km scenic ride starting south of Kintamani and finishing in the village of Keliki, Tegalalang, so – luckily most of it was down hill!

The day started at 08:00 in Sanur from where most of the participants traveled by bus to a restaurant at Kintamani.

Sadly, just as the riders were getting the ‘swing’ of it – the ride was over. However, the SOBEK crew was waiting with

Breath: Your Superpower Sixty years ago I discovered that my breath is a superpower. My 5 year old self ran into the house exclaiming: ‘Mommy! Today I learned how to breathe underwater.” My swim coach taught me that if I take charge of my breath, I can take charge of my life. In the ensuing years I learned the skill of deep diaphragmatic breathing as an athlete, actor, singer, meditator and yogini. I devoted myself to breath awareness every moment of my life. Breathing with awareness revitalizes us with inner strength, flexibility, emotional integrity and mental calm. Breath is life flowing through us.

3. Close your eyes. Breathe for at least a minute.

4. Now exhale with intensity, as if you are blowing out a candle. This is releasing stored up CO2.

5. Inhale through the nostrils to a count of 4. Retain the breath for a count of 6. S L O W L Y exhale for a count of 6. Retain the breath for a count of 6.

NOTE: As you work with this practice you eventually stop counting as the breathing breathes you. You will also notice that you will be able to retain the breath longer each time.

6. Continue for at least 5 minutes.

No one has escaped the teaching to fear, resist and control life. Our colons are constipated, our stomachs churn with acid, our feelings are depressed, anxiety is our heartbeat, and the mind creates victim stories. As a result the breath breathing through us is shallow. It is each of our missionsif we choose-to use life’s pressures as gurus guiding us inward to discover how to breathe with ‘What is’…no matter what’s the matter. Pressure-or stress-is how we expand out of our limitations. We grow more radiantly juicy when we consciously expand (inhale) and contract (exhale) with the pressures of living a human life on earth.

This is the natural rhythm of our breathing: INHALE SPACE EXHALE SPACE. Inhaling we receive oxygen and the life force of the Universe. We are reborn with our own vital authority.

The space after the inhale is brimming with unlimited potential. Exhaling, the cells release the waste of C02 and we dissolve into the bliss of Unity. We relax into expression of our unique fingerprint of life. Then, the inhale arises and this regenerative cycle begins again. A constricted breath results in limited life energy. The mind dictates our life, damning the flow of our intuitive-feeling self.

What if we choose to consciously partner with this natural breathing pattern?

RYTHMIC BREATHING: Control the breath carefully. Inhalation gives strength and a controlled body. Retention gives steadiness of mind and longevity. Exhalation purifies body and spirit. - Hatha Yoga Sutra 1. Sit where you feel the most comfortable-on the floor or in a chair with your spine lengthened.

2. Place your right hand into the palm of your left hand.

Place the bottom of your hands on top of the pubic bone, underneath your belly. Soften the belly into your hands.

Practice at least 2 times a day. The more you practice the more you breathe in this slow, deliberate pattern. As a result, you will eventually learn how to expand instead of contract with the pressure of the moment.

To act swiftly, we must slow down.

INTRODUCING: THE DIAPHRAGM MUSCLE The companion superpower to the breath is the diaphragm muscle. The sole purpose of this muscle is respiration. The diaphragm muscle is dome shaped, located below the rib cage, above the stomach, attaching around to the spine.

This muscle is at the top of the core body muscles-internal and external oblique’s, quadratus labarum, pelvic floor and transverse abdomens. In other words: The belly. And a strong core needs a firm top-the diaphragm. Bend your arm to reveal your bicep muscle. This is the shape of the diaphragm. Flex and de-flex the bicep. This is what the

diaphragm muscle does with the inhale (flex) and exhale (de-flex). And like the bicep, the diaphragm muscle can be trained for optimum respiration.

1. Go to a mirror and watch yourself breathe. What do you notice?

2. Now, lie on the floor face up with knees slightly bent.

3. Place your hands lightly, tips of fingers touching, on your diaphragm, just underneath the rib cage. The stomach lies underneath the diaphragm.

4. Close your eyes and become aware of your breathing.

Notice what is happening in your body. Is the chest the first action? Is it rising with the shoulders? This is shallow, habituated breathing. We are learning a new habit.

5. Now, place your awareness on the diaphragm. INHALE: Just like the bicep muscle, push up the diaphragm as you inhale. Push up against the weight of the hands.

6. EXHALE: The diaphragm rests in its dome shape, the belly softens.

7. Maintain focus on doing push-ups with the diaphragm: INHALE: Diaphragm pushes up, belly extends, THEN the chest rises as lungs fill. You are filling up the balloon of your lungs. EXHALE: S L O W L Y Diaphragm deflates, belly softens.

8. Now, apply the breathing pattern you learned above.

Continue for at least 5 minutes.

9. A muscle LOVES to be trained. Once you feel more natural with this breathing, experiment with using it in the gym, your office or other physical exercise.

Diaphragmatic breathing stimulates the longest nerve in the body the vagus nerve, that meanders from your neck into your belly. Vagus nerve stimulation activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing the ‘fight or fight’ reaction, releasing serotonin (anti-depressive molecule) and diminishing the body’s inflammation. Deep breathing also improves heart rate variability which is the interval between beats.

Success in life is self-mastery. Become a disciple of your breathing. Restore your emotional equanimity, awaken your vitality and release the mind’s control with conscious breathing. An old Budhist practice tells you to “ inhale fear and exhale Love’s embrace. “ The breath is the foundation of our existence.

Master the breath and you become the Super Hero in your own life.

Eldering With Joyful Enthusiasm Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean. David Searle You, me and everyone we know has one fundamental purpose for appearing live on earth for a limited time only: To embody the you that you truly Be. This is why I have always enjoyed the journey of aging. Then in my 63rd year I became aware that others perceived me as ‘old’. That is, if I was not invisible to them. I was an amazing woman because ‘at my age’ I could perform high intensity workouts outdistancing those 30 years my junior. In a life where my age never mattered-to me or others- suddenly it mattered.

Aging describes a natural physical process, as in the aging of grapes into wine. Yet humans have been carefully programmed to reject this organic evolution. Self-limiting thoughts, beliefs and feelings about the perils of growing older were installed before the age of 7. No matter what our chronological age, no one, no matter how ageless we feel, has escaped this programming. Other’s responses to my ‘old age’ switched on my anti-aging software.

In one week I had three dialogs with twenty- somethings who looked to their elders for guidance, then discovered that they might be old but they are not wise. The program inserts an automatic shut down demand: ‘At a certain age you will stop innovating, creating and risk-taking.’ This belief gives rise to thoughts: “I’ve lived a long time, I’ve nothing left to learn.” ‘I’m too old for ______. “I’ve given everything I have, what else is there?’ “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” Our self-assurance plummets to zero and we feel ‘out of date’. In ancient times, when we thrived in harmonic diversity with All that Is, we learned to recognize and respect the experiential wise authority of aged men

and women. We named them Elders. After those dialogs I chose to transform my one obsessive thought of: ‘I’m aging’ to ‘I’m eldering.”

If our fundamental life purpose is to embody our true Self, then all of our life experiences-no matter how horrible-are divinely designed to awaken this innate sovereignty. Yet the anti-aging programming tells us to reject and mistrust our true thoughts, feelings and perceptions. What creates wisdom? How we choose to relate to our life experiences.

The body vehicle ages and we can simply ride along in this aging vehicle on automatic, expecting it to break down.

Or we can choose to awaken from our victim mind programming and reinstall the original Creator Mind hardware. Each time we embrace our pain and struggle with curiosity, compassion and ownership we act from the awareness of the transcendent Ageless Self. We become magicians, transmuting our pain (grapes) into wisdom. (wine) Eldering can begin at any chronological age. We simply need to move our mind and body into alignment with this eternal Self. A woman confessed to me in shame: ‘I’m just beginning to practice yoga. I’m 40. So old!” What if she chose to listen to her words as if she were her own best friend?

She might ask: ‘Is it true that you’re old? What does ‘old’ mean to you? What are you feeling now? What do you believe? Is that thought truly your thought? Or was it given to you when you were too young to say ‘No!’? The correct questions guide us on an inner quest, to discover deeper questions: ‘Who am I?’ ‘Who am I becoming?. Well, who do you want to become? Maybe this person: ‘Wow! ‘I’m so excited!

I’m just starting to learn yoga! I will be 41 in 6 months!”

The programming has entrained us to believe we are separate from the Ageless Self. I have had one near death experience and a few that took me to the edge. I have also served as a death midwife. When we are present for one’s final breath, we learn that indeed, the body becomes stiff because the Ageless Self, the infinite energy that fuels the bio-form, has fled the form. Look inside of an empty glass-it is space. The space takes on the shape of the glass. When the glass breaks the space merges into infinite space. This is the Ageless Self, yet this space is vibrating as Light inside of every cell of our body. When we identify with our limitations and perceive the body as limited, we separate ourselves from our boundless true identity.

Pir Vilyat Inyat Khan, a teacher of the Chisti Order of Sufis was one of my root gurus. Pir Vilyat knew how to elder. I saw him a few months before he died. I was in awe of the youthfulness of his energy and the magnitude of Light streaming from his 88 year old body. Each time we die to the victum-mind programing, we delete a death urge, revealing more of our light, which strengthens our life urges. We cultivate joyful enthusiasm as a foundation of inner peace. We allow for natural aging adjustments. We learn how to wisely shape our choices to nourish our mental, emotional, spiritual and physical well-being. We increase our self-assured capacity to trust and receive life flowing through us, becoming full of youthful vitality.

Yeas ago, I dined with the then oldest working small business owner in the United States. He started an athletic store during the depression. He was 102. Each one of us knows or has read about a person ages 80-to 100 who is expressing the joyful enthusiasm of their Ageless Self. We are living through an unprecedented era on earth. Humanity is awakening from the victim mind programming during a time scientists name ‘The 6th Great Mass Extinction.’ It is certain that the body will die. What is uncertain is when the final curtain falls. We can live in the fear of the final moment or we can create the future now with the wonder of uncertainty.

My Dad’s hospice nurse told me: We die the way we live.

How do you want to live?

What a time to be Alive! Alive Oh!

IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH PAP SMEARS (Cervical Cancer Screening) - How Often?

We used to think of the dreaded PAP smear as part of our annual duty of care to ourselves…but it looks like you may get a bit of reprieve with the new, almost globally recognized, protocols for PAP smear screening.

Why should I have a PAP smear?

Cancer of the cervix (kanker leher rahim) is the second most common cause of cancer-related disease and death among women worldwide. The best way to prevent cervical cancer is by having regular Papanicolaou (Pap) tests. A Pap test can detect viral infections (such as human papillomavirus) and other cancer-causing conditions. Early treatment of these conditions can stop cervical cancer before it fully develops.

A woman can have cervical cancer and not know it because she may not have any symptoms.

The occurrence of cervical cancer has decreased because of Pap test screening. Many women (millions) are found to have abnormal Pap tests each year. Most of them are early stage and need reasonable observation by doctor.

• Risks factors for cancer of the cervix - Multiple sexual partners (or sexual partners who have had multiple partners) - Starting sexual intercourse at an early age - Viral infection, such as human papilloma virus (HPV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or herpes simplex virus (HSV)

- Weakened immune system - Previous cancer of the lower genital tract - Smoking

When & how often should you have a PAP smear?

The best time to have a Pap test is when you are not menstruating. If you feel more comfortable with a female doctor, you can ask for one.

• For 2 days before the test, avoid the following because these might hide any abnormal cells.

- Intercourse - Douches - Vaginal medications (except as directed by your doctor) - Vaginal contraceptives such as birth control foams, creams, or jellies The Latest Cervical Cancer Screening Recommendations • Women 21 and Under: No Screening Required (I disagree with this. While the risk is low it is present.

Indeed I have seen girls as young as 17 with cervical cancer insitu. I would recommend screening commence 2 years after first sexual intercourse).

• Women 21 to 29: Pap Smear Every Three Years.

Thanks to an abundance of research, we now know that yearly Pap smears aren’t necessary for a majority of women. Why? First, disease progression - the time between the appearance of precancerous lesions and the development of invasive cervical cancer - is slow.

Second, women’s bodies resolve some abnormal cellular changes on their own in time. Screening annually can increase the likelihood of unnecessary follow-up procedures, such as biopsies.

• Women 30 to 65: Pap Smear Every Three Years; HPV Testing Optional.

• Women 65 and older who are low risk for cervical cancer (women who have had regular, normal testing in the past)

C/He/G-19 Dec. 18

don’t need Pap smears or other screenings. Annual checkups, however, should resume. Women should also notify their doctors of any unusual symptoms, such as irregular bleeding, vaginal discharge or painful intercourse.

Pap smear should be done as part of a pelvic exam and should be accompanied by a breast exam performed by your doctor. It should only take a few minutes to perform a Pap smear.

Early cervical pre-cancers or cancer often have no signs or symptoms. Therefore, it is important for women to have regular Pap tests. Symptoms usually appear when the cancer is further along.

• Report any of the following to your doctor right away: - Unusual vaginal discharge - Blood spots or light bleeding other than your normal period - Bleeding or pain during sex These symptoms do not mean that you have cancer. They can also be caused by other conditions, but a check-up with the doctor is a must to find out.

REMEMBER IF WE KNOW WHAT WE HAVE, WE CAN TREAT IT. NOT KNOWING IS THE KILLER.

Psychosomatic Diseases and Healing Yes, Virginia, it’s all in your head.

Our mind and body are inexplicably entwined. It’s very hard to separate the two. Everything in your body is linked through various pathways called cranial nerves like the vagus, the longest cranial nerve in your body. Vagus is only one of 12 cranial nerves, each with their own function. These pathways are like corridors that carry sensory information from your brain to the various organs they are connected to like the heart, the gut, lungs, eyes, etc. They allow the brain to monitor and receive information from virtually every part of your body. The vagus, besides being connected to your heart, lungs and abdomen, is also the nerve that deals with stress, anxiety and fear.

body. Plato was of the opinion that attention to the person as a whole, a mind-body complex, is the best approach a physician can adopt in treating patients. From Hippocrates onward, countless medical practitioners have postulated that strong emotions like fear, panic, shame, grief or anger influence body functions and may cause disease.

Physicians in the early medieval Islamic world developed a holistic model of illness that emphasized the interaction of the mind and the body. However, it was not until the emergence of the study of psychiatry in early 19th century Germany that the term is first mentioned in medical literature when a psychiatrist by the name of Heinroth postulated that the origins of insomnia are ‘psychosomatic’. From then on the concept of the reciprocal influence of body and mind was frequently debated by the medical establishment and written about in medical texts.

From there it readily found its way into mainstream literature, society and life. By the 1930s psychosomatic medicine was duly practiced, especially under the influence of Gestalt psychologists.

Not to be confused, there is also the term psychogenesis – now an obsolete notion - which is the psychological cause to which a mental illness or behavioural disturbance may be attributed (as distinct from a physical cause).

Some mental disorders that were considered to be of psychological origin by late 19th century German psychiatrists were labeled ‘hysteria’, which was some kind of a disease du jour at that time.

Mental factors can affect physical conditions and vice versa. The brain is an important actor in how our body functions or fails to function optimally. Mental factors such as fear, stress or internal conflict can cause physical symptoms mimicking a physical illness that does, in reality, not exist within the body. In other words, pains and symptoms are very real but no organic illness can be detected. This is called a psychosomatic condition.

Physical symptoms that are caused by mental factors are due to increased activity of nervous impulses sent from the brain to various parts of the body. Yes, that is your vagus upsetting the apple cart. The good news is the cart can also be set right again.

It is also true that stress and anxiety can aggravate an existing physical or organic disease. Mental factors may affect a broad range of physical diseases and conditions including skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, high blood pressure, heart problems and more.

Psychosomatic disorders frequently affect the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems as well as the cardiovascular system. Needless to say this can have varying effects from mild to severe on the quality of your life, from interfering with a normal ability to function to causing physical or mental disability.

A bit of history. The term ‘psychosomatic’ is made up of the Greek words soma, meaning body and psyche, meaning soul, mind or spirit. Surprisingly that term was not coined by the ancient Greeks, otherwise the fountain of much wisdom, spiritual or physiological, although some physicians and philosophers in antiquity did determine that a dynamic relationship exists between mind and

It is now well understood that panic and anxiety disorders, phobias, guilt, OCD and PTSD find their origins in the mental state of the person affected and can cause high blood pressure and stress-related physical symptoms such as headaches, chest pains, ulcers, eczema.

Physicians admit that the role of the brain in psychosomatic disorders is not fully understood but they do know that the brains of people with a psychosomatic illness process information differently to most people. They don’t call these conditions imaginary illnesses. They consider them medically unexplained illnesses.

Bebunking some myths - The close interrelationship between the body and the brain has generated a few myths in the process. Some people think that fear or panic can cause a heart attack. Feelings of intense fear or panic can mimic a heart attack, as many of the symptoms like shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, sweating, a pounding heartbeat and dizziness appear the same as those of a full-fledged cardiac seizure. However, you are most probably experiencing a panic or anxiety attack, especially if you are experiencing chronic stress, suffered a recent traumatic event, or have trouble coping with life’s ups and downs. Only if you already have a serious heart condition can fear actually be the instigator of a classic heart attack. An example is a person suffering from an acute heart disease with a 50% narrowing of the arteries who encounters a harrowing situation like being held up at gunpoint or involved in an auto accident; as a result their adrenaline levels can rise sufficiently to destabilize that plaque and block their arteries completely, resulting in a real heart attack.

C/He/G-19 June 19

Another myth is that middle-aged menopausal women will experience depression, irritability, and hot flashes during that transition. Studies bear out that the vast majority of postmenopausal women do not experience depression, but can have hot flashes or night sweats that are uncomfortable and may have secondary effects on their mental well being. Holding negative expectations about menopause affects the quality of the menopausal experience because myths can function as self-fulfilling prophecy.

You probably heard that drinking too much alcohol will destroy a zillion brain cells. Researchers have proven that drinking does not actually lead to brain cell death. In fact, moderate drinking can have a number of health benefits, including improved cognitive abilities and lowered cholesterol levels. According to experts even heavy binge drinking and long-term alcohol abuse don’t actually result in killing off brain cells. However long-term alcohol abuse can cause brain damage as it can lead to a deficiency in an important B-vitamin called thiamine. This deficiency can cause a neurological disorder that does result in the loss of neurons in the brain. The syndrome is characterized by memory problems, amnesia, and lack of muscle coordination. In this case, it is important to note that the loss of neurons is caused by the thiamine deficiency, not by the actual alcohol use. Bottom line is that researchers believe that alcohol does not kill brain cells. It can, however, impair brain function and have other serious health consequences.

Treatments and healing - As far as treatments are concerned, most medical practitioners will approach healing with both medical and psychological measures.

Physical symptoms can be alleviated with medication, surgery or other organic treatments while the causes of the mental stress can be treated through various therapies like psychotherapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, hypnosis, acupuncture, exercise, yoga and meditation techniques.

It all circles back to that vagus nerve that deals with stress, anxiety and fear. It is therefore an important consideration that you can influence this nerve through interventions like medication or meditation to help you de-stress and chill out. Remember that next time you feel anxious and fearful. Learn the proper techniques to deal with stress and you will go a long way to stop your fears from triggering psychosomatic symptoms.

BOOMER CORNER The Joy Of Senior Sex

When you were a teenager or young adult did you ever consider if your parents were still having sex?

What about the elderly couple who lived down the street? Or was the thought of that just too yucky?

Well now that we’re in that age category, are you still enjoying a healthy and happy sex life?

Did you know that an active sex life may provide benefits like improved self-esteem, better sleep, and greater overall well-being? Even well into old age, sex can boost a person’s health and happiness. That’s why any idea that sex and aging don’t go together is simply an old wives tale. For a lot of seniors, making love after 60 is a joyful and necessary feature of living especially after the kids have moved out of the house.

After a long period without a partner I went on a dating website and met a 71 year old man. An attraction developed and we met a few weeks later. When we finally made love we were both amazed at how great it was. Suddenly we were behaving like teenagers with a voracious sexual appetite. He had suffered from heart failure 18 months earlier and had done lots of research to keep his heart pumping at optimum. Changing his diet and exercise program plus eating foods like ginger, guava, pumpkin seeds, cordyceps sinensis, egg yolks, celery, beetroot juice, honey, shrimp, broccoli, bananas and dark chocolate to keep his arteries clean and increase the blood flow to his heart. A delightful side effect is an increased blood flow to his private parts.

Whatever is good for your heart is good for your penis.

Many older men suffer from erectile dysfunction from time to time, which can often be effectively treated. In fact, by treating underlying physical or emotional problems, many men are able to restore some or all of their erectile function.

afternoon. Some other things to try: different rooms in the house, new positions, fantasy role-playing, dates that involve one partner giving pleasure and the other receiving.

It’s important to give your partner feedback what you liked best or didn’t like.

2. Increase your activity level Frequent exercise helps many people improve their libido and sexual performance. Regular exercise can increase your overall energy level, self-confidence and blood circulation. It’s good for your heart so it’s good for your sexual health.

3. Bring out the sex toys Toys aren’t just for “Kids”. Vibrators and other sex toys can really benefit older persons because they need more stimulation to become aroused with or without a partner.

Men can also take advantage of sex toys to maintain an erection.

Dancing Kissing Cuddling Flirting Holding hands Tickling each other Sharing a warm bubble bath Taking a steamy shower together Gazing into each other’s eyes Watching erotic movies together Sharing a couple’s massage Reading erotic literature to each other Sharing romantic meals that include aphrodisiacs Use your smart phone to send sexy text messages to each other. Don’t send long messages. Keep each of them short to encourage a lively back-and-forth exchange.

4. More orgasms – less expectations By eliminating expectations, you free yourself and your partner from the burden of goals and assumption. Focus on connecting with your partner and exploring pleasure rather than expecting to achieve a certain outcome. When people let go of their sexual expectations, they’re more likely to experience orgasms. Relax and have fun with your partner.

Remember you don’t have to engage in any kind of penetration in order to have a satisfying sex life.

Outercourse (sex without penetration) can be incredibly enjoyable. And you can still experience orgasms.

5. Communication is the key to a happy partnership Trust is vital in a good relationship, especially when it involves intimacy. This comes from open communication between the partners. It’s important to share your intimate feelings with your partner expressing things like your concerns and anxieties including sex-related problems, your desires and needs of how you want to be touched or what you’d like to try, your boundaries of what you never want to do and things you might be willing to try.

For older women, sexual health is also affected by lower hormone levels. That’s why vaginal dryness is very common. After menopause, many women naturally produce less of their own lubrication. Their vaginas also become thinner and less elastic as they get older. I discovered virgin coconut oil as a lubricant which worked wonders.

7. Getting slippery For Baby Boomers, plenty of lubrication is necessary.

Older women often suffer from vaginal dryness, making sexual penetration painful without lubrication. Using lube is an easy way to make the whole experience more comfortable and pleasurable.

8. Eat a healthy diet Nutrition is important for sexual health. Many dietitians recommend foods that are low in saturated fat, sodium, and sugar but high in fiber, essential vitamins and minerals, and healthy, unsaturated fats. So eating a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and nuts can be especially beneficial when it comes to boosting or sustaining your sexual health. In addition, it’s wise to limit your alcohol consumption to no more than about one drink per day.

Even if you’ve survived heart failure, cancer or another serious illness, never give up on enjoying the pleasure of love. It’s never too late.

What can you do to improve your sex life?

1. Alter your lovemaking routine For couples who have been together for a long time, sex can become predictable. Simple things like changing your time of day to have sex or different days. If you usually have sex in the evening, try the morning or

6. Getting in the mood Many older couples find getting aroused takes longer than when they were younger, so take the time to get in the mood by doing things with your partner before heading to the bedroom. Here’s some examples:

Wellness in Bali Over the years I’ve seen a few more wellness centers open offering a variety of services. Many ex-pats and locals have learned from experience that going to a doctor may have consequences. You may have an injury, migraine headaches or other pain or health problems and going to a doctor may not be your first choice for healing. Looking for alternative healing is a preference chosen by many people these days. Since 2005, Global Health Center is well known for its expertise in spine and joint-related problems.

Expanding from its Kuta office, Global Health Center has now opened a new, state-of-the-art clinic, in Sanur, with a unique concept of multidisciplinary health and wellness care. The idea is to bring several health and wellness professionals under one roof, for the benefit of their patients. The beauty of Global Health is that all of the practitioners are Indonesian citizens, which allows them to offer their services legally.

I visited the center, which is easy to find on the By-Pass and it’s very large with 10 treatments rooms nicely decorated with modern equipment. There’s a huge car park at the back, making it very convenient for transportation.

On the health side, they now offer Chiropractic, Osteopathy and Physiotherapy. Dentistry will open in August as well as medical and light emergency services (general practice). Further expansion plans include a blood laboratory, a pharmacy and 24h emergency services.

On the wellness side, they have a Naturopath, a Nutritionist, and a Nurse Midwife delivering services for women and baby care. Their Aesthetics department provides wrinkle and cellulite treatments. They also have physical rehabilitation services, Yoga and Pilates. It’s sort of a one stop shop for your health needs.

Who’s on the team of healers?

Hypnotherapy with Kartika Alexandra can help. Her intention is to resolve the issue as fast as possible by focusing on the root cause by accessing and working directly with the subconscious part of the mind.

Hypnosis is a natural state that you enter into on your very own at the very least two times to over a hundred times a day. In hypnotherapy, the state of hypnosis is experienced as feeling very relaxed and comfortable. Contrary to general expectation, you are awake and aware but just simply very relaxed - characteristic of your brainwaves being in alpha and/or theta. In this state, you can more easily access and work with your subconscious, the part of yourself where all the necessary information has been stored to overcome the issue at hand. Kartika is merely the facilitator to this process, using a variety of methods and techniques customized specifically for you to help you overcome your issue. Often this can be accomplished in one session for one specific issue.

Treatable issues: • • • • • • • • • • •

Smoking, drinking, nail biting, gambling In childhood experience, in a past relationship Loss of a child, friend or family member, heartbreak Pushing people away, anger/rage outbursts Repeating negative relationship patterns Negative money-relationship, victimization pattern Headaches, neck pain, back pain, knee pain Insomnia Sexual dysfunction Panic attacks Constant worry, OCD behavior

Local News Bali upgrading to handle 32 flights every hour

by October 2019 Balipost.com reports that Bali’s Airport Authority - Angkasa Pura is adding additional flight slots to facilitate a hopedfor increase in tourist arrivals starting from October 2019. Elfi Amir, head of the District IV Flight Authority that includes operations from the Ngurah Rai International Airport, confirmed on Monday, July 1, 2019 that Bali’s Airport will go from handling 30 flight movements per hour to 32. The additional flight slots will be available only for international flights.

Amir said that his office has long been under pressure to create more flights slots to meet demand from new international destinations. He confirmed that there are currently four airlines on the waiting list to commence new flights to Bali that he hoped would be possible starting in October 2019.

There are no plans to add domestic flight slots at this time.

The managers of Bali’s Airport, Angkasa Pura I, are targeting to have a new rapid exit taxiway (RET) ready by October.

[Bali Update July 9, 2019] Bali cracks down on ‘problematic’ Australian tourists who beg Bali is targeting tourists from first-world countries who have been begging people on the street for money to fund their travels. The Indonesian island’s immigration department said the travellers - dubbed ‘begpackers’ - are primarily Australian, British or Russian. Numerous tourists with western appearance have been spotted holding signs begging for money to ‘travel around the world’, while some sell items on the streets. However, immigration officials say they are unlikely to be deported unless they have committed a criminal offence.

Setyo Budiwardoyo, an official from the department, said the relevant embassies should be responsible for the reported tourists. We tend to report these cases to the relevant embassies so that they can oversee their citizens who are on holiday,’ he said in a statement, Detik reported. Mr Budiwardoyo said the respective embassies of ‘begpackers’ must now address their financial difficulties. Other ‘begpackers’ have also been spotted busking on the streets with guitars and percussion instruments. Mr. Budiwardoyo said Indonesia had in the past provided food and accommodation to foreigners who have run out of money. But he said the immigration department has since become wary of fraudulent beggars. ‘I’d rather not give food for people who are pretending,’ he said. ‘Foreign citizens who run out of money or are pretending to be beggars, we will send them to their respective embassies.’ [Daily Mail July 8, 2019] Bali legislators claim Benoa Bay reclamation project ‘will not be implemented,’ activists demand proof Bali’s Regional Legislative Council (DPRD) said yesterday that the Benoa Bay reclamation project will not be implemented, adding that they support Bali Governor Wayan Koster’s position of rejecting commercial development in the area.

“In regards to the Benoa Bay reclamation project, we announced where we stand when the Bali Governor was elected on August 24, 2018. We were there, and we supported the elected governor in a statement, which is to say that the Benoa Bay reclamation project cannot be implemented,” DPRD speaker, Adi Wiryatama, said yesterday, as quoted by Radar Bali. Adi also responded to a criticism raised by the Balinese People’s Forum to Reject Reclamation (ForBALI), which claimed that the council have never received them to have a dialogue. “There are members of civil society who we have yet to receive, whether during working days or holidays, and we would like to apologize,” Adi said.

ForBALI promptly responded to Adi’s recent statement, which they labelled as “misleading.” “To ensure that the Benoa Bay reclamation project is not implemented, there must be a checklist,” the organization said in a statement.

That list includes a revocation of the location permit, putting a stop to the developer’s environmental impact assessment, known locally as an amdal, and finally, a revocation of the 2014 Presidential Regulation that permitted the reclamation.

“Without those, the speaker of the DPRD should never say that the Benoa Bay reclamation project will not be implemented,” ForBALI said. [Coconuts Bali June 27, 2019]

18 Bali’s Governor abandons national family planning model telling the Balinese to have at least four children In a bold departure from national population policy, Bali Governor Wayan Koster has issued instructions to Bali’s Regents and Mayors to immediately cease support and socialization of the National Family Planning Campaign of limiting Indonesian family size to just two children. A spokesman for the Province, A.A. Ngurah Oka Sutha Diana, said on Thursday, June 27, 2019, the Governor’s instruction to abandon national family planning directives was contained in Instruction Number 1545 of 2019 on Instructions on Family Planning for the Balinese People.

As reported by Kompas.com, the Governor of Bali’s instructions are claimed by Provincial Officials to protect the “reproductive rights” of the Balinese people and are based on time-honored familial traditions and intended to sustain the cultural dominance in Bali of a quality endemic population. “The advancement of Balinese reproductive rights is based on the view that the Balinese have the right to have more than children has produced a worrying tend in the Island’s two offspring, or even four children, that (in the Balinese demographics. tradition) can be named Wayan, Made, Nyoman and Ketut,” said Sutha.

Seputra said the Governor’s instructions were not simply to Meanwhile the head of the Population, Civil Registry and have four children, but to also pay attention to planning births, Family Planning office in Bali, I Gusto Agung Ketut Kartika distancing in time the birth of each child, understanding the Jaya Seputra, commented separately that the population of ideal age for childbirth, and other aspects of family planning native Balinese-Hindus has been on the decline for the past “Bali style.” At the same time, there has been little or no several years. Adding: “We all know that the population of comment from the Governor’s office on supporting his desire “Nyoman’s” and “Ketut’s” (third and fourth born) have for larger families through free-education programs starting become more rare. Because of this and in accordance with from grade school through high school or even tertiary the Governor’s instructions, we are going back to recommend levels, child care programs, social welfare programs, and that the Balinese have four children.” He explained that public housing on a traditional village level. [Bali Update the past program of encouraging people to only have two July 9, 2019] Ngurah Rai Immigration Office chief seeking to root out foreigners operating businesses or working illegally in his jurisdiction Amran Aris, the head of Bali’s Ngurah Rai Immigration Office has announced that his office will take strong enforcement measures against foreign nationals found to be operating businesses or working illegally in Bali. As reported by Radar Bali, Aris reminded that foreigners investing money in Indonesia must follow the rules established under the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) and aliens must hold a formal work permit if they are involved in any employment, paid or unpaid. Amran’s comments were made on Tuesday, June 25, 2019, before a multi-agency meeting responsible for monitoring the activities of foreigners in Indonesia (Timpora). He warned that strict enforcement measures were in place to prevent foreigners from usurping employment opportunities reserved for Indonesian citizens. Adding, “We need to protect job opportunities for Indonesians.”

The immigration chief said his office frequently encountered foreigners working illegally in Bali. He specifically cited illegal instances in which foreigners open motor cycle rental agencies, operate bars or restaurants, or rent out villas without possessing a work permit (IMTA) or a temporary stay permit (KITAS). Continuing, Amran said: “For example, in the Canggu area there were persons renting cycles, opening a bar, or running other businesses that came to the attention of the police. We need to take action against such occurrences.”

Amran said that in order to bring illegal workers under control, the immigration office must synergize its enforcement

measures with all related government agencies in Bali. In the area of responsibility for his office, he is seeking cooperation starting from the level of district chiefs (camat) in Kuta, South Kuta, and North Kuta. He is also approaching village leaders, pacalang, and the head of police precincts to help enforce the law and track down illegal aliens.

“In this context, we are all sharing information. From district chiefs (camat) to those working under the camat. If a foreigner is found (operating a business or working illegally) report them immediately. We will come. Our eyes are limited, but with help from the public who know better what’s happening in their surroundings, we will be more effective,” Amran said. Amran clarified that expatriates with work permits are not a problem. But their employment must conform with that which is written in their stay permit (KITAS). [Bali Update July 9, 2019]

Bali’s current “cold spell” to last through August A spokesman for Bali’s Meteorology, Climate and Geophysics Agency (BKMG-Bali), Imam Faturahman, told NusaBali that Bali’s current “cool spell,” felt especially in the evening hours, is the result of cold monsoonal weather over Australia sending currents of cold winds towards equatorial Indonesia.

BKMG says the colder than normal weather in Bali will persist until August. In nearby Java, the current cold spell sent nighttime temperatures on the elevated Dieng Plateau in Central Java to minus 8 Celsius and shocked residents living near the Bromo Volcano in East Java who awoke to find snow on the ground last week. On 15 June 2019, the airport at Ruteng, West Manggarai Flores recorded a low nighttime temperature of 9 degrees Celsius.

Faturahman said the cool winds and dry winter winds are affecting wide areas of Indonesia south of the equator - primarily in Bali, Java and Nusa Tenggara. “Indeed, significant temperature effects are being experienced in Bali. During night time hours, the trend is for colder than normal temperatures. This is because of an effect often referred to as Australian monsoonal air currents,” Faturahman commented. He said the current colder than normal temperatures would continue throughout July and August, coinciding with Indonesia’s dry season. The coldest

temperatures in Bali, he said, would be felt in higher elevations.

Faturahman said the current weather condition is leaving temperatures in South Bali between 20-30 degrees Celsius with humidity measured between 55-95 percent. Wind speeds, adding to the wind chill effect, are between 8 and 42 kilometers per hours. Current temperatures are 3-4 degrees Celsius below the normal range for this time of year.

Edward went out of his way to contact me about the IPhone and then returned it without even wanting a fare for the trip back to Balivilla4u at Taman Mumbul. So many times our beautiful island has to wear unfair criticism especially taxis and hotels and its about time for the exact opposite to be noted. We will make sure this letter of appreciation is ccd to the Bali Advertiser requesting this gets a mention in their next issue.

GARDEN DOCTOR How Can I Compost?

‘Dear Garden Doc, I want to begin composting but I have never done it before, do I really just throw all my food scraps in the compost bin and it’s that simple? I don’t really understand how composting works. I’ve read it’s the best way to make fertilizer to go on the garden. But my biggest curiosity is how can I do it if I don’t have the worms that people say are needed. I don’t have worms where can I buy them? What do you think?

Thanks for the help. Terry.’

Locate your compost - away from the house - in full sun to speed up the decomposition process - in contact with the soil

The soil is the basis for everything that grows in our gardens.

By making and applying compost you can produce a soil rich in nutrients and keep otherwise ‘good’ water out of landfill.

We can all improve plants with fertilizers, but they will never grow as well as ones grown in a balanced healthy natural soil. Chemical fertilizers should be used sparingly, rather than your go to garden hit. Fruits and vegetables grown in compost will also be naturally better for you.

Nitrogen (the greens) - green and fresh.

For example; fruit and vegetable scraps and peels, manures, coffee grounds, tea bags, fresh grass clippings, fresh garden clippings. Make sure no meat or dairy makes its way into the compost or you could easily attract vermin.

Compostable materials and elements: Carbon (the browns) - brown, dead, old and dry. For example; dry leaves, twigs, sticks, sawdust, leaf mulch, dried grass clippings, newspaper, shredded paper, wood chips, wastepaper, tissues, paper towels.

Composting is one of the most simple, yet misunderstood aspects of gardening. It’s something most of us want to do, but many people find it too confusing in the beginning and unfortunately give up before they’ve even tried.

In my opinion it’s like most things - you will learn more by actually doing it instead of simply reading about it, and there is no one way to do it that’s right or wrong! Most gardeners end up adapting their own methods over time that are suitable to the soil and plants in their garden as well as taking into account the readily available materials on hand. Having said that, there are a few general guidelines to follow to get you on your way. Here’s a quick explanation of compost, the main ingredients and a few tips for creating quality compost mix.

What is Compost?

Compost is the product of the decay of organic matter such as leaves, vegetable scraps, garden waste or any other organic material. Compost is literally the end-product of the decomposition process…in Indonesian simply and appropriately known as compos!

How to Start?

Get a compost bin from a hardware/garden centre. Otherwise using a regular plastic garbage/trash bin can be just as effective. Cut out the base so that the contents inside can physically contact the soil below, you could also drill a few air holes in the side for airflow. To empty out or access the compost, just lift-up the bin and spread the compost over the soil and around the garden and on pot plants. Return any excess or partially decomposed materials back into the compost bin.

Moisture Compost should be damp, but not drenched. If your compost is dry, then water it. Every-time it rains open the lid so that the natural rainfall can soak in, replacing the lid afterwards to stop evaporation, lock in the heat and to discourage animals and pests. Most compost bins should operate off natural rainfall and the natural levels of moisture contained within the materials that are added.

Aeration Oxygen and air will be naturally present in the ingredients and the building process of adding materials of different sizes.

Lightweight materials with large surface areas such as twigs and leaves will assist in the natural aeration as will turning the pile occasionally with a garden fork or by using a compost corkscrew. Without adequate aeration or a with a build-up of one type of heavy material, such as food scraps only, a compost bin will become a stinking compacted mess with little aeration. Air and moisture balance are just as crucial to the decomposition process as is the selection and variety of materials used.

Building the compost The simplest and easiest mix to start with is kitchen vegetable scraps, green off-cuts, grass clippings, tea leaves, coffee grounds, dry leaves swept from the garden and shredded newspaper all added in a layered effect. Never put too much of any one material and build layers of a similar density, almost like building a sandwich - in other words balance the greens and the browns whilst alternating layers at the same time. Smaller particles decompose much more rapidly, so twigs and sticks will decompose faster if broken up and crushed. A bag of sawdust will really get a compost pile going.

Materials that generate heat such as chicken manure will also activate and speed up decomposition! You can also add wood-ash sparingly in between layers.

Don’t add whole fruits or vegetables. If the pumpkin or potatoes have gone bad, cut them into smaller pieces before adding them. If you have unpleasant odours coming from the compost it is an indication that procedures need to be altered, usually either less moisture or more browns - quite possibly both.

The right combination of organic matter brown (carbon) to green (nitrogen) will make a huge difference. Heat from the sun, occasional watering and turning to provide some oxygen will speed up decomposition.

The compost bins that roll/spin are designed that way as it is both an easy and convenient way to turn the compost and get air circulating through the pile, ultimately leading to a faster process of decomposition. Faster decomposition leads to the generation of more heat within the compost, and the cycle accelerates into a positive feedback loop, whereby more heat will then lead to even faster decomposition and so on - that’s why as gardeners we love to see a steaming compost heap!

Compost should be kept moist, but not soaking wet. Flooded compost will drive the worms out. The biggest drawback associated with overwatering the compost will be a ‘stinky’ pile that takes longer to break down, as oxygen is displaced from the saturated pore spaces. Overwatering the compost is akin to over-egging the pudding!

As for the worms…well they should naturally find their own way into your compost along with a host of sorts of other bugs that arrive and leave at different stages, but the worms will always be the mainstay of a healthy compost bin - worms are the intestines of the soil!

At Home in Bali

Design ideas and inspiration for tropical living

Wellbeing in Your Home The focus on health and wellbeing in this issue of Bali Advertiser got me thinking. Our homes are a reflection of everything going on in our lives. We take care of the practicalities (place to sleep, tick; space to wash, yes), as well as the aesthetics (cool colour scheme, fab furniture). But what about environmental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing? Our home environment plays a huge role in influencing the way we feel. So this At Home in Bali column spotlights a few simple ways to create a healthy, harmonious home that promotes positive vibes and a sense of peace and harmony. Want a wellness makeover?

Read on!

Declutter “Clutter is the biggest offender of blocked energy”, claims a 2011 article in the Bali Advertiser. Research shows that the more “stuff” we have, the more our brains have to take in each time we come home, significantly decreasing our ability to focus. And messy environments contribute to a range of physical and mental health issues, from asthma and allergies to stress and anxiety. So if you are already suffering from ‘clutter ‘creep’ since that New Year clear-out, I suggest you clear out those congested cupboards and Marie Kondo every inch of your home. You’ll feel lighter and clearer-headed!

reduced stress, dissipated anger improvement in positive feelings.

Clean out your cleaning products The supermarket aisles are groaning under the weight of chemical-laden commercial household cleaning products, and washing detergent that gives freshly laundered bedding an eye-watering scent strong enough to keep sleep at bay. Dump the lot! Instead, replace with ecofriendly natural cleaning products such as those produced with (fair trade principles) by Bali Asli. Their 100% natural household cleaners and laundry detergents are made with essential oils that have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and natural cleaning properties. Scented with the likes of ylang-ylang, orange, vetiver and peppermint, they are made in concentrated form, so are economical to use as you only need to a small amount to clean your clothes and home completely naturally. Another go-to is Wayan’s Eco-Clean, a wonderful home delivery service of vinegar, baking soda and sodium percarbonate at very reasonable prices.

Blue Stone Botanicals have a fabulous 100% natural aromatherapy rain mist which contains essential oils from healing plants and pure rainwater collected from volcanic mountains. I also love the Toko Paras reed diffusers, and always pack the Cempaka scented one to live with, and gift, the fragrance of Bali on my travels.

Create a sacred space Bring a sense of mindfulness, calm and order to your daily life. Find a space in your home that can be your sanctuary - an entire room or quiet corner that you can retreat to undisturbed. Create an altar space by spreading out a beautiful cloth on the floor or on a low table and then placing items there that increases your sense of spiritual connection - mine includes a Buddha, Ganesha, Quan Yin, Archangel Gabriel and Tibetan prayer flags. Lay out a yoga mat and comfortable cushion to encourage meditation - and exercise when you don’t have time for the gym or a class - and you’re all set with an intentional space for meditation, relaxation and inspiration.

Energetic cleansing BaliPura has a lovely range of auric sprays, among them Space Clearing, which claims to create calm and peace in the home and work environment, removing denser energies in sprayed areas and allowing lighter & more vibrant ones to enter. Each auric spray is made with the finest crystal infused, hand-made and blessed by a Balinese priest under the full moon. I found these sprays at Pyramids of Chi, which also stocks Energy Protocols’ handy House Cleansing Kits - Palo Santo, frankincense, salt, Balinese incense, and a protocol designed to “help you create a vibrant, peaceful environment full of positive energy, enabling you to attract happiness, good health and abundance into your life.”

Let in the light Talking of light, dark spaces are a mood dampener and can be pretty depressive. Also, neurologists, biologists and opthalmologists unite in warning about the dangers of blue light in LED screens and bulbs, which they believe are more disruptive to our health and wellbeing than halogen, incandescent and fluorescent lights. Time to embrace sunlight! Let natural light stream in wherever possible …and watch your mood lift in an instant.

Sleep well

For more information:

Make your bedroom an oasis of calm. Keep distractions to a minimum, choose a light colour scheme and crisp white cotton bedding. Sprinkle a few drops of Utama Spice lavender essential oil onto your pillow for a soothing night’s sleep. And remember, the bedroom is no place for a laptop or phone; set strong boundaries by switching off a few hours before bedtime.

Bring nature inside Houseplants are known to improve your mental health and wellbeing. Some release happy chemicals, some purify the air, and some are said to decrease pain levels and reduce stress. Of course, in Bali you’re never far from a riotous profusion of plants that seem to grow before your very eyes. But still, consider bringing them indoors, plant show-off blooms of ginger and Heliconia into oversized vases, and have a few well-placed rocks close by. And at every opportunity, stride out into your tropical garden or through the rice fields to the nearest jungle; as little as 5 minutes spent in nature has been linked to

Go natural with pest control Sharing space with mosquitos seems to be inevitable here in Bali. Sadly, a lot of the commercial insect repellents are laden with chemicals, delivering an unhealthy dose of toxic fumes into your home with every spray, burning coil or plug-in zapper. Bali Asli has a range of natural insect repellents, including candles and incense. For personal use, Begone Bug by Utama Spice is a 100% natural insect repellent, available as a lotion, spray.

Scent your space For those of us living in open-sided homes with a constant supply of natural (if often humid) fresh air, the idea of using an air-freshener may seem bonkers. But it’s a wonderful way of infusing your space with mood-enhancing fragrance.

Building & Maintenance

The Frugal Balinist * Car insurance on Bali Since the vast majority of Bali’s population don’t have auto insurance (asuransi kendaraan bermotor), it’s essential that your car be fully covered. When you buy a new car it usually comes with a year ’s extended insurance policy.

After the policy expires, a new policy costs US$300$500/year that provides comprehensive cover in the event of an accident but only about US$1000 to cover damage to the other car. Since this third-party liability is very low, it’s a good idea to increase it to Rp100 juta, which will cost Rp500,000-Rp1 juta per year. If you do have an accident where the other party claims it’s your fault (probably 100% of locals will do this even though in most cases they will actually be at fault), let your insurance company sort it out.

To buttress your case, send them video footage or still photos.

Choosing to not include coverage for earthquake damage saves you a bit. Sometimes it’s the most expedient to pay for any damage on the spot. For example, if you or your driver side-swipes a motor scooter coming out a side road, just pay the motorcycle driver Rp2 juta on the spot and let your insurance absorb the cost of repairs to your car. Most drivers on Bali use ADIRA, ACA, Sinar Mas, Jasindo and Zurich which all sell full comp insurance. How much you pay depends on the year, make, model and plate number. Tip: When claiming/repairing your car, you’ll be required to take it to an “insurance” repair shop who are less than speedy.

Call the shop often, lest they take three weeks or more.

* Kuta Beach bargains *Get a new hairstyle done professionally by a braider for Rp150,000. The number of braids depends on your type of hair and how long it is, but the usual number is 15 braids which takes her about one minute per braid and less than 30 minutes to do all 15. *A 45-minute massage costs only

Rp75,000 for your shoulders and back. These masseuses can even do reflexology which helps maintain the health of your organs. *Lounge chairs are first offered for Rp100,000Rp150,000 for 1-2 hours, but the real price (if demand is low) is Rp50,000 for at least one hour. Bules always pay more. *For snacks, go to the dozens of warung (foodstalls) under the shade of trees along the wall and eat with the locals at local prices. *To polish your fingernails and toenails, the ladies first ask Rp100,000-Rp250,000 for each but you can actually have them both done for Rp25,000 to Rp50,000. They’ll laugh and ridicule you, but they often have nothing to do, no customers, and they sometimes come back.

* No oil cooking coffeeclothes.com

The Balinese have for generations been roasting (sangrai) their own home grown peanuts (shelled or unshelled), corn kernels, red rice (for bubur and rice milk for old people), sunflower and pumpkin seeds (kuwaci), jackfruit stones, beef jerky (dendeng), coffee beans, etc. In industrial-scale coffee roasting, tumbler-like roasting barrels (mesin sangrai) are employed, but for small households there’s a special handmade traditional wok-like dry roaster available for this sole purpose. They can be purchased in Bringkit farmer’s market, in Kapal and at traditional markets for Rp30,000 (Rp50,000 for Westerners). Called a penyahnyahan, this pot is made of stone or more commonly terracotta. The sangrai roasting method saves money because it requires no oil, just fire underneath a wood-burning stove (tungku) while stirring

with a wooden spatula. Add a little seasalt when roasting peanuts (kacang sangrai); at a certain point just rub the warm nuts vigorously with your hands and the skins slough off. The final product – whatever you’re roasting - has a more authentic taste if you use firewood. When roasting green coffee beans, stir until the beans color to the desired degree.

Different flavors are achieved depending on temperature and duration. The beans will eventually start to crack, so it takes skill to know when to stop. Roast too much and they will be too burnt and acrid. You’ll know by the aroma that your freshly roasted coffee beans are done to your liking.

* Airport heads-up!

It’s legal for online taxis and metered taxis to drop off passengers at Ngurah Rai Airport’s departure halls and they are also entitled to pick up arriving passengers. They cost substantially less than those sought by the airport taxi cooperative but they face harassment and even physical assault. If you use the cheaper transport options, make a quick entry or exit! *In order to save time at Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport, use the new “autogates” that have been installed in both the international arrival and international departure terminals to speed up the inspection of travel documents for both Indonesians and ASEAN nationals. Since all ASEAN nationals entering Indonesia are fingerprinted and photographed upon arrival, the already stored data completes the immigration clearance process out of the country in a mere 25 to 35 seconds. *Flying adds a significant amount of planet-warming gases to the atmosphere. For example, one round-trip flight between Bali and Perth in Western Australia generates about 20% of the greenhouse gases that your car emits over an entire year.

Education & Family

Zero Waste to Oceans Conference Looks for Solutions to Reduce the Island’s Plastic Footprint Earlier this year, Bali became the first Indonesian province to ban single-use plastics, such as bags, straws and polystyrene. While the ban is a great first step, it is unlikely to be enough to keep in check the island’s ocean pollution crisis. This year’s Zero Waste to Oceans Conference, which has been an annual part of R.O.L.E. Foundation’s awareness campaign since 2017, addressed the issue of whether corporations should be held responsible for the collection and recycling of their single-use plastic packaging. Held on the 14th of June in Sawangan, the free event attracted over 200 participants—including scholars, government officials and students—eager to participate in discussions and listen to talks by environmental experts.

percent of the island’s waste management. Rama says that one of the reasons why waste management programs in most villages fail is because they do not have the money to pay the local community to bring their plastic to waste banks.

“There’s no solid currency offered in exchange for plastic.

This could change if the government provided funding to cover the cost of operations, manpower and land,” Rama says. “If the government created a solid system at the banjar level, we could start educating the local community on how to separate their waste between organic and non organic, and which one they can use for compost and which one they can sell per kilogram.”

Handoko Ramawidjaya Bumi, better known as Rama, who is a Media Manager at the R.O.L.E. Foundation, was the MC at this year’s event. He believes that addressing the subject of corporate responsibility is an important step to finding a win/ win solution to the problem of plastic pollution. “We have seen lots of campaigns from giant corporate businesses who produce, use, and sell plastic with a hidden message of ‘it’s the consumer’s fault.’ Are we the cause of the problem or is it their unsustainable packaging that is destroying our planet?”

During the conference, the participants discussed how corporations, the government and the community can work together to minimize the use of plastic packaging, as well as other solid and liquid waste. The conference was opened with a speech by the founder of the R.O.L.E. Foundation, Mike O’Leary, who emphasizes the importance of waste management on the island. Some of the other guest speakers on board included Dwi Jayanthi from Plastik Detox Bali, I Gede Hendrawan from Udayana University, Reza Helmi from No Plastic Indonesia and Brenda Ritchmond from Bali Buda.

According to the R.O.L.E. Foundation, each day 100,000 cubic meters of waste produced by Indonesia makes its way into the ocean. A great deal of Bali’s contribution to this problem is due to poor waste management by the councils (desa) and sub-councils (banjar) who are responsible for 95

The conference also highlighted that regulations and education go hand in hand when it comes to minimizing waste pollution. One of the solutions proposed during the conference centered around the implementation of taxes as a way of controlling the amount of plastic packaging used by companies. “We would also love to see manufacturers being forced to put labels on their packaging outlining the dangers of plastic. A bit like cigarette package banners with horrendous images that say ‘smoking causes cancer.’ Maybe this would make people reconsider buying certain products,” Rama says. “This, along with education, could make a huge difference. By including waste management in school curriculums, we could turn students into zero-waste believers and do-ers.”

To do its bit, each week, the R.O.L.E Foundation’s Public

C/E/G-22 May 19

School Waste Management Program invites at least 20 children from three schools to the Zero Waste to Oceans Community Environment & Skill Center. “R.O.L.E. Foundation used to focus on massive clean ups on beaches.

After several years of endless clean-ups, we realized that this was not enough and we needed to also focus on the root of the problem,” Rama says. “We believe that education is the key to solving the plastic waste problem. Children are much easier to teach about the dangers of plastic waste and how to prevent it.”

Each school that wished to participate in the program is assessed by an environmental educator sent by the R.O.L.E Foundation who determines how it can be best assisted. The students from each participating school are then invited to take part in workshops on topics such as waste separation, organic weaving, natural dyes, soap upcycling, sustainable business, marine life, composting, and sustainable agriculture. “After the workshops, we assess whether any changes have taken place at the schools. If the improvement is below our standard, we will invite the school for further workshops. All of this is free for Bali’s public school students, and includes school assessment, bus pickup, an eco passport and an upcycled bandana, as well as refreshments.”

Plastic pollution and poor waste management has a negative affect on public health, tourism and anybody who relies on the natural resources of the sea. While marine pollution is not an easy problem to solve, events such as the Zero Waste to Oceans Conference give hope that things can change for the better. Rama agrees. “I used to think that Bali’s oceans were beyond help, but after seeing that there are more and more people becoming aware of the waste management problem, I have gained more confidence that something can be done about it,” he says. “If everybody does their bit, no matter how small, a ripple can be turned into a wave. We want Bali to show the world that it is possible to make the world’s oceans clean.”

Ubud News HERE BE DRAGONS!

Sign up now on Eventbrite – this event goes from first notice to sold out very quickly, every year. October 12, 3-10pm. Setia Darma House, on Jalan Tegal Bingin, Mas, is worth a visit itself for the extraordinary collection of old Javanese houses, and masks from all over Indonesia.

Follow the signposts from Jalan Raya Mas or Jalan Raya Singakerta.

The trip includes four nights homestay with a Dayak Kenyah family, and 2 nights at the jungle camp in the forest. Visit www.davidmetcalfphotography.com to see the wealth of tours planned for the next 12 months. You don’t have to be a photographer, though you may be inspired to learn!

KURA-KURA BUS

Grrrr! I’m trying to get more organised with composting in my garden but I’ve come across a caution from Ubud Garden Society about supposedly home-compostable takeaway clamshell boxes. It seems, although they are made from bagasse (sugarcane pulp) - and ‘certified compostable’ - they test positive for high fluorine content that appears to be from the PFAS coating that makes them greaseproof.

Over the decades, Bali public transport hasn’t been the best travel choice having, you might say, a character all of its own. However, I have to say that I’m consistently pleased with Kura-Kura Buses.

It was a young German university student’s decision to focus his academic thesis on images of the Komodo dragon that led this extraordinary photographer to base his life in Indonesia.

Clean and efficient with friendly drivers, they’re great for getting cheaply to Kuta Galeria bus depot or Sanur from Check out the Garden Society’s FB page for more info.

Ubud (80,000rp one way; 120,000rp return).

There’s such a lot of great advice shared here.

And btw, congrats to those restaurants attempting to get away from plastic containers. We’re getting better at this, but there’s a long way to go.

Those interactions with the dragons and his subsequent pursuit of other wildlife across Indonesia have significantly shaped a successful career in environmental management for Ubud ex-pat, Volker Kess.

Originally intended as a “coffee table” book with vivid photography and accompanying comments, the Komodo; in Pursuit of the Living Legends book is much more, capturing the realm of the dragons in an impressive and lively compilation of eye-catching photos, travel anecdotes, victim stories and personal reflections.

For more info and to have your copy posted anywhere around the world, visit www.komodo.de. At $US49 (700,000rp) it’s worth every penny.

“MOVEMENT” AT TEDx2019 Of all the themes for TEDxUbud over the years, I think this one suits us best; Movement for most Ubud ex-pats is about life-change and joyous choice!

GARDENERS, ALERT!

TITI BATU Oh my goodness, so much fun and fitness in one place!

As a change of pace from the Balinese culture (for our tourist guests) or to get away from the inevitable hours on the computer (for those of us who live and work here), amble down to Titi Batu, just opposite Pelangi School.

Titi Batu is a sprawling “family sport and wellness community” complex with a focus on active fun for both Also, although mainly aimed at getting travellers between children and adults. There’s an excellent 25-meter pool, towns, they’re a great option for visitors who want to spend a gym and squash courts for starters, and a skate park a day wandering round Ubud without paying a driver to nearly finished. “stand by”, with stops at Ubud Central Parking, Puri Lukisan Museum, Alaya Ubud Resort. There’s a great one- Carnival Saturdays started this month, with Afro Cuban day / 24 hour pass for only 90,000rp on their website, or dance from 6pm and enough professional dancers 100,000rp from the driver, and there are stops at Bali Zoo around so you’re never short of a partner. Honestly, there’s something interesting on every night, from and Bali Bird Park, going south.

BORNEO’S RAINFOREST There’s something to be said for finding one’s own path on an Indonesian adventure. I still love wandering away in a new direction, with family and friends left thinking I’m lacking caution, and perhaps quite mad.

This will be the 8th time that the TEDxUbud team brings us together to reconnect with old friends, make new connections and re-think the world around us.

Held on Saturday evening, October 12, at Setia Darma House of Masks and Puppets, TEDxUbud 2019 will take us on an adventure of discovery and innovation.

We’ll learn new things and watch inspiring talks and performances about movements across the borders, lines, and boundaries that structure our lives.

The other way (and I support both) is to reap the benefit from another’s years of experience. I can never speak too highly of tour guide and photographer David Metcalf, whose rare intuition for “getting it right” for fellow travellers, together with longstanding relationships with first nation tribes all over the archipelago, ensures a warm welcome wherever he travels. It’s a privilege to explore with him.

Next month, David is offering a week’s jungle camp experience in Setulang Village, in the ancient forests North Kalimantan, co-hosted by Borneo’s number one Dayak tour guide, Yun Pratiwi. Leaving from Bali or Java on August 13, the plane and safe speedboat journey is over in a day.

Alternative Voice For Long Life... Eat Well, Eat Slow & Do it with Friends We know that... So why is all going the wrong way?

As goes America, so goes the world – or so it would seem when it comes to health trends. Current statistics in the US, alas now paralleled elsewhere in the developed and developing world, show that: • • •

60 percent of Americans have a chronic disease 40 percent have multiple chronic diseases Chronic disease is responsible for seven of 10 deaths

Put simply, chronic disease is destroying our quality of life, bankrupting governments, and threatening the health of future generations.

Unfortunately, there’s every indication that it’s going to get worse before it gets better. You have only to visit a neighbourhood shopping mall practically anywhere in the world and you quickly see why that is.

The findings of the recent Blue Cross Blue Shield report on the health of millennials confirm an especially worrying trend.

It found that: • After age 27, all major measures of health for Millennials begin to decline sharply • Millennials have higher rates of common health conditions than their Gen-X predecessors did at the same ages • As their health continues to decline, Millennials are

going to be a huge financial burden on the already overwhelmed healthcare system It appears that Millennials are the canaries in the coal mine when it comes to the future of our overall health if we don’t reverse the alarming and early rise in chronic disease.

And yet how can this be when so many of us seem to be so concerned about our food, our health and wellness?

Consider: half of American adults-including 70 percent of those aged 65 and older-take multivitamins. That’s a lot of people and a lot of money spent.

But is taking a multivitamin really a good idea? Does it really increase your lifespan, or reduce the risk of disease?

The answer is “no”..... not according to the bulk of the scientific studies that have examined the topic.

One such study, the latest published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, examined data from about 31,000 participants. It found that adequate intake of nutrients from foods reduced the risk of death, but supplemental nutrients did not have the same effect.

In fact, excess intake of certain supplemental nutrients, like calcium, actually increase the risk of death.

The essential conclusion has to be that we should get as

many of our nutrients from real food as possible. The inescapable fact is that you simply cannot supplement yourself out of a bad diet from a bottle.

But does that mean there’s no place at all for supplementation?

No, it does not.

In a recent review of multivitamins, the website Examine. com maintains that certain people may benefit from a multivitamin, including those who are at risk of nutritional deficiencies and are not able to change their diet (e.g., pregnant women, the elderly, and people following calorierestricted diets).

are harmful. Reports in the media on latest research findings are more likely to confuse and misinform than provide reliable information on which to base a decision.

As ever, the devil is in the details.

The essential truth is supplements can work but most won’t. The main reason for that is that the majority of nutritional supplements are incorrectly formulated or simply do not have enough of the necessary active ingredient to have a therapeutic effect.

More to the point very few of us are in a position to judge correctly what if any supplemsnts would do us any good.

The first step anyone considering a supplemental regimen is to find out what nutritional deficiencies or excesses they have. Self prescribing is as likely to damage you as do you any good. It’s certainly a quick way to waste money.

The smart thing to do is to consult an integrative MD or a clinical nutritionist to establish where and in what dosage any supplementation might benefit you. When you hit 50 is a great time to establish nutritional and hormonal benchmarks for this.

Yes, if you are smart and can find the guidance you need from a qualified quarter you can tweak things your way as you age.

It has to be said too, that the quality of the multivitamins that people take varies wildly. Few studies do anything to assess the possible difference in effect that people taking highquality multivitamins with high enough doses to do any good.

Looking beyond multivitamins, there is also a place for what can be termed “selective supplementation.” This involves taking particular nutrients for a targeted purpose, which may include: - correcting a deficiency that is identified via lab testing - treating a condition (e.g., taking vitamin A and zinc when you have a cold, taking magnesium for constipation, etc.)

- achieving a certain effect (e.g., taking NADH for energy, taking a nootropic for mental clarity) - taking supplements selectively is not the same thing as taking a multivitamin to try to escape the effects of a bad diet or simply as an insurance for any nutrients that may or may not be missing in your diet.

That’s why it is plain silly to claim that “supplements are useless” as to assert that they do work. Both claims citing research to back conclusions for which we can have no good idea as to their validity.

You cannot make an intelligent statement about “supplements” as a category. It’s too broad and diverse.

Some supplements are helpful, some are neutral, and some

But more important by far, at any age, is to eat real food in a widely varied diet that is fresh and to do so in moderation.

No supplemental program will be able to provide the breadth of nutrition and health benefits such a diet brings you. There is no need to obsess or restrict yourself. Almost any natural food can have its place (and I do mean natural, go easy on the prosciutto).Probably the only substance to avoid or at least restrict is sugar, particularly refined sugar.

That does not mean “sweet” is out, merely that the sweetness comes only in its natural, unpressed or nonprocessed form.

If that last sounds easy, it is not. It is hard to eat out anywhere and find real food that is fresh, not over-seasoned nor sweetened to hell and back. To eat this way at home is quite a committment also. Nonetheless the benefits of doing so are huge. Eating slow, eating real and doing it with friends is going to do a lot more for you than any supplement.

Alas, the science may be clear on this but culturally we are headed the wrong way and that I fear is not going to change any time soon.

Restaurant & Food

Restaurant Review Italian, by an Italian!

Il Tempio is an Italian restaurant. There are many in Bali, in fact it is most probably Bali’s most popular foreign cuisine. Although surprisingly, not that many of them have an Italian in the kitchen, but this one does, Chef Dante Pagliani, who faithfully reproduces dishes from his homeland, some with a modern twist.

surrounded by a full ring of clams sitting on their half shells…. very good.

The Fresh Hand-made Pasta can be Ravioli, Cannelloni or Gnocchi with a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.

I particularly liked the Pumpkin Ravioli, with its classic spicy arrabbiatta sauce of tomato and chilli.

Scalopeni is an Italian specialty but sadly quality veal is too prohibitive a price to be served in most Bali restaurants outside of the fine dining variety. Il Tempio offers you versions using pork instead [local and imported in two different sections of the menu]. Other ‘Italian’ restaurants in Bali do the same but do not bother to tell you. The most simple and most popular is the al Limone, just with lemon. Others can be with mushrooms or cooked in white wine.

The restaurant is based in a garden setting at the front corner of the Bali Garden Hotel, surrounding their Balinese Hindu temple. At the front is a series of relaxing lounge style tables just above street level, behind are the more traditional ones in front of the open kitchen.

The quite large menu is nicely divided into well-defined sections. Start with the Salads, the traditional Caprese [Mozzarella di Buffalla with tomatoes, basil and virgin olive oil] and Insalata Nizzarda [a tuna salad with boiled potatoes, French beans, tomato, lettuce, black olives and capers].

Also on offer are international favourites Caesar and a simple Green. The Soup section is pure Italian; headed by the very traditional vegetable [MInestone] and seafood [Zuppa de Pesce], then there is the Chef’s special Vongele alla Sorrentina, sautéed clams in a special broth of the chef’s creation.

The Risotto menu combines standard offerings, seafood, mushroom and vegetable with the more exotic Parmigiana Radicchio [parmesan, radicchio and red peppers], an unusual one with bolognese sauce and a chef creation Blue Ocean Risotto, the Arborio rice coloured by the addition of blueberries and beetroot, cooked in white wine and lemon zest, studded with prawn meat, a large prawn sitting in top. It tastes as good as it looks.

The essential pasta menu is on three sections; gluten free, normal and home-made. The Gluten-free can be with either spaghetti or penne, all done four different ways with the offer by the chef to consider your own creation if you wish.

Normal pasta offerings can be Spaghetti, Penne, or Fettuccine. Most of the traditional styles are available plus a few specials that are a bit different such as a ‘breakfast’ pasta with scrambled egg, bacon and parmesan. Top of the range is the Marinara, full of seafood, wrapped in a parcel and finished off in the oven. The Vongole arrives at the table with a generous serving of spaghetti on centre stage

Imported Pork gets its own section and the ever popular Pork Belly can be cooked with either skin-on or skin-off.

Either way it is baked in the oven with potato wedges, and served with a variety of capsicum [red, green, yellow], carrot, eggplant and zucchini. You select the sauce; cheese, mushroom, black pepper or BBQ. Pork Loin, Neck or Ribs are also all baked in the oven. The Pork Neck is served with spaghetti aglio e olio, nice and spicy.

Main meat courses include Lamb [grilled chops], Pork [steak, with roasted potatoes], Beef [Angus tenderloin or the famous Polpette, meat balls] or Salsicce, Italian sausage. For a meat feast try the Grigliata di Carne a meat platter for two persons of grilled, beef, chicken, sausage and lamb.

Chicken dishes get their own menu section and can be Milanese [crumbed], Valdostana [with bacon and mozzarella], Parmiggiano [oven baked with a parmesan crust and tomato sauce], Picatta [green capers, parsley, white wine and lemon juice], or the more international Kiev [crumbed and stuffed with parsley butter].

To keep the small ones happy there is their own special menu; fish fingers, chicken nuggets, meat balls, small pasta serves and many ice cream flavours, even a mini baby pizza.

It is surprisingly great value from a hotel restaurant that competes, successfully, with the street around it. Chef Dante has been in Bali for many years and has developed his own loyal following with his very affordable comfort food that stays true to Italian tradition, if a bit cheeky at times.

Definitely worth a visit!

Seafood can be tuna, prawns or white fish. The Grilled King Prawns are prepared in white wine, garlic and olive oil.

Pesce al Cartoccio are seafood wrapped in foil and baked in the oven.

Even the Sandwich and Burger section is Italian. The sandwich is a piece of crumbed chicken Milanese, the burger is Angus steak between Ciabatta. All the breads are baked on the premises.

As it is Italian so there is Pizza, They are all sized at 33cm except for the gluten-free versions which are 28cm. All the standards are included, even that Aussie inspired non-Italian original, Hawaiian, with ham and pineapple.

Desserts are more international than just Italian, although there is the essential Tiramisu. Pineapple replaces apple in the Crumble, with raisins, toasted oats, palm sugar, coconut flakes and a strawberry puree.

traditional Balinese music and dancing as it consists of performances filmed in Peliatan.

Legong: Dance of the Virgins is a 1935 feature film by young film maker Henri de la Falaise and stars all local Balinese talent: Poetoe Aloes Goesti, Bagus Mara Goesti, Saplak Njoman. This movie was filmed entirely in Bali in 1933. The story follows a temple dancer who chooses her future husband only to have him fall for her sister, bringing heartbreak and disgrace. Local Balinese dancing and rituals are featured. As much a travelogue as a love story, this movie is memorable in that it was filmed in Bali with authentic native people in all the major roles and shows native dancing, customs and folk life, made even more vivid by being filmed in two-strip Technicolor. It is also said to be one of the last official “silent” films.
