Bali to Temporarily Get the Chinese Red Slipper?
In Wake of Fraud
Revelations Chinese

The continuing polemic
regarding how to address
malpractice and fraud in Bali's
handling Chinese tourists is
predicted to impact negatively
on Chinese tourist arrivals for
at least the coming 3-6 months.
As reported by Balipost.com,

At the same time, Bali is working

The government is also

Tourism experts believe that as
many as 60% of the Chinese
tourists visiting Bali are
purchasing “zero tour fee”
packages – very low-priced
packages sold in China that
are subsidized by illegally
coercing Chinese tourist visitors
who are overcharged for
shopping and dining
components during the course of
their visit. In the process,
Chinese travelers are subjected
to inferior service and sometimes

The science of why human breasts are so big
Breasts come in different
shapes and sizes, but
there's one thing they all
have in common: They
are unique to humans.
More than 5,000
mammalian species
inhabit this planet. Yet
Homo sapiens are the
only life forms with
permanent breasts.
Some may call this
human anomaly sexy,
but it also raises the
question: Why
are human
breasts so big?
Were they an
evolutionary
mistake?
Every other
mammal develops
temporary breasts
during ovulation or
nursing. Basically
their purpose is to
produce milk. So
once the milk is
gone, the breasts
disappear. But this
isn't the case for female
humans, whose breasts form
during puberty, not pregnancy.
So at some point in our
evolution, something changed.
Why? For example, in 1987
biologist Tim Caro explored
seven existing theories on this
subject. One was that breasts
allowed newborns to nurse
from the hip, giving their
mothers more mobility to
multitask. But it doesn't explain
why breasts stick around after
the nursing stage is over.
Perhaps the most popular idea
was first proposed by Charles
Darwin and later explored by
zoologist Desmond Morris in
23 Nov. - 29 Nov. 2018
his 1967 book, "The Naked
Ape." In it, Morris suggests that
breasts evolved as a sex
symbol to replace the swelling
rear end of other female
primates during ovulation. In it
Morris suggests that breasts
evolved as a sex symbol to
replace the swelling rear end of
other female primates during
ovulation. Once our ancestors
started walking upright, the
sexual organs were no longer
as obvious to spot. So males
had no obvious way of knowing
when a female was sexually
mature, and breasts may have
formed as a result. This theory
would at least explain why
women's chests swell during
puberty, but it still can't explain
why they stick around after
menopause.
Let's take a closer look at the
human breast. The big
difference is that they contain
more fat than other female
mammals. The fat fills out the
breast tissue, giving it shape.
Sort of like milk, but permanent.
Human breasts can become so
large it can cause back and
chest pain. This is why many
women get breast reductions.
More than 61,000 received a
breast reduction in 2016 in the

US alone. But breasts aren't
only uncomfortable for some.
They can also be deadly. Breast
cancer is the No. 1 cause of
cancer-related deaths in
women worldwide. It affects
roughly 1.5 million women each
year and killed 570,000 of them
in 2015. Yet as far as scientists
can tell, breast cancer is not
common among other
primates. This could be
because the risk of cancer
increases with age, and other We supply High Premium Quality Beef
primates don't live long enough
to develop breast cancer. Or
perhaps it could have

something to do
with the permanent

Sharks release Holmes immediately to chase NFL
The Cronulla Sharks

release from the final
year of his NRL
contract to pursue an
NFL career.
In a statement by the club, the
Sharks said Holmes had been

The shock move was revealed
by The Daily Telegraph on

It's unclear if he has trial offers
with any NFL franchises.
“This news brings great

Holmes is essentially walking

per season in the NRL to test
himself in the US.
He is expected to spend the next
few months training alone,
gaining size and speed and
working with NFL scouts with the
hopes of being signed to

In the statement, Holmes said he
felt it was the right time to
challenge himself.
“I will be forever grateful to the
Cronulla Sharks Football Club

five years of support, it was a
special moment we all shared

“Hopefully the fans can

“while disappointed by Val's
decision I acknowledge he has
been outstanding for our club
and for the game of rugby
league.
“He is loved by our club,
corporate partners, members
and fans.
“We are incredibly saddened to
see him leave our club and exit
the game of rugby league,
however we wish him all the best
in pursuing his NFL career and
hope one day he may again wear

Socceroos — but what's
been the greatest goodbye
in Australian sports
history?
The Socceroos' all-time leading goal
scorer will don the famous green and
gold one last time when Graham
Arnold's side take on Lebanon on
Tuesday.
It will be a memorable moment for
Cahill, but, as our list below shows,
some sports
stars have truly
signed off in
style...
Glenn Lazarus
Rarely does a
sporting icon
leave the stage
on their own
terms, savouring
glory on the last
day of their
career.
But in 1999,
Glenn Lazarus
bowed out after
clinching his fifth
N R L
Premiership
when his Melbourne Storm side came
back from 14-0 down to beat the St.
George Dragons.
The hard-hitting prop capped off a
glorious 244-game career spanning
13 years in the most stunning fashion,
by guiding his side to their first ever
Premiership.
Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and
Justin Langer
This iconic Aussie trio said goodbye to
Test cricket after the 2006/07 Ashes
series.
Having dominated the sport in the 90s
and early 2000s, the three greats
finally decided to call time on their
careers in the historic 5-0 whitewash
of England.
McGrath took a wicket with the last
ball of his Test career, while Warne's
final ever dismal was England all-
rounder Andrew Flintoff, with his old
mate Adam Gilchrist helping out with
the stumping.
Aussie legend Warne became one of
only two bowlers to have 1000+
23 Nov. - 29 Nov. 2018
wickets in international cricket when
he trapped Monty Panesar lbw for a
duck — not a bad way to sign off.
Makybe Diva
When a champion becomes a legend.
In 2005 the great mare became the
first and only horse to win the
Melbourne Cup three times.
Who could ever forget that storming
finish from near the back over the final
300 metres to clinch a historic win?
The Diva was actually in doubt to start
the race because of unsuitable track
conditions. She carried 58kg, 2kg
above the standard weight-for-age
scale, which was her personal weight
record.
John Eales
Eales is without doubt one of the
Wallabies' greatest ever captains.
In his dramatic last Test in Sydney in
2001, Australia completed a
remarkable Bledisloe Cup whitewash
with a last-minute Toutai Kefu try
winning the final game for them.
In the 55 Tests he played he won 41
times, lifting the Webb Ellis Cup
(Rugby World Cup) on two occasions.
When there's an award named after
you, you must know you're pretty
damn good.
Shane Crawford
“That's what I'm talking about!”
To win your first ever Premiership in
your final ever game can't be a bad
feeling.
Shane Crawford certainly signed off
on his 305-game Hawthorn career in
some style — capping it off with his
iconic moment on the microphone
when he let the world know what it all
meant to him.
Shane Webcke
Having three premierships already to

great Shane Webcke.
In his final game in the NRL, the
Queensland native guided the
Brisbane Broncos to victory in the
2006 grand final against the
Melbourne Storm, just 13 days after
his 32nd birthday.
Another medal around his neck and
another trophy in the cabinet — about
as good a farewell as you could ask
for.
Steve Waugh
Waugh made sure he wrote his name
into cricketing folklore before finally
bowing out on a hot day in 2004.
In his final Test match in the baggy
green, Waugh dragged Australia
kicking and screaming to salvage a
miraculous draw against India, after
the visitors had amassed a colossal
7/705 in the third morning.
When he passed 50 in the fourth
innings, several ferries on Sydney
Harbour sounded their horns in
acknowledgment for one of Australia's
greats.
Dubbed the “perfect day” of cricket, it'll
go down as one of the most
memorable farewells in sporting
history.
Jason McCartney
On 12 October 2002, North
Melbourne star Jason McCartney was
a victim of the Bali bombings, leaving
him with severe burns to over 50% of
his body.
Just nine months later, McCartney
returned to the AFL in a game against
Richmond, wearing a long-sleeved
jersey with protective gloves.
Shortly after setting up the winning
goal, the Kangaroos forward
announced his retirement from AFL

Dovizioso stays calm in the chaos of Valencia

Dovizioso wins in
torrential conditions
It was a day of 'lasts' in Valencia,
and so nearly an 'at last', on a
sodden Circuit Ricardo Tormo,
but it was the calmness in the
chaos of Andrea Dovizioso which
triumphed in the toughest of races.
On the last day of the 2018 season, it was the last race in
the series for the likes of Scott Redding and Alvaro Bautista
who will leave MotoGP. It was the last race where Valentino
Rossi will be able to say he is still in his 30s, as he turns 40
before the new season begins. It was the last race for Dani
Pedrosa, arguably the best to never win a championship,
before he retires from the sport.
And the way the race started, it seemed like it would be the
last man standing would be the winner as MotoGP turned
into demolition derby in the torrential Valencian rain.
The weather had held up for the Moto3 and Moto2 races in
Valencia but it gave the MotoGP Grand Prix everything it
had. As the track became wetter, the weather claimed
more and more casualties. In the first 10 laps alone, six
riders had crashed out – fairly violently as well.

Marc Marquez was the biggest
name to suffer at his
homecoming after winning the
world title, flipping off his bike just
six laps in and seemingly
damaging the same shoulder
which hampered his qualifying
campaign.
Australian Jack Miller was
another who suffered – his fifth
crash of the weekend claiming
his race far earlier than he would
have liked – as did pole-sitter Maverick Vinales as he
struggled in the wet.
Someone who didn't struggle in the rain was Vinales'
teammate Rossi, who began the race in 16th after
qualifying but tore his way through the field, taking
advantage of crash after crash to make his way
through to the podium places.
Alex Rins was another of Rossi's victims despite
leading for the majority of the race before the red flag
was eventually brought out. Only 15 riders made it
out after that red flag, when the rain finally let up and
the track quickly dried and the race finally restarted.
Rins again started on pole at the restart and it was a
carbon copy of the start about an hour before as he
sailed out into the lead, only to be challenged and
eventually passed by both Andrea Dovizioso and
Rossi.
As Rossi looked to put the pressure on Dovizioso,
disaster struck again, just two weeks after it did in
Malaysia when he was leading. The Italian span out
on turn 12 when running in second this time.
That left Dovizioso with a clear run to top the podium
with Rins and Pol Espargaro finishing behind him in
second and third respectively.
Continued from page 16
“I hadn't had that experience before. It was a great
feeling of respect and so I thought I could really use
these guys, I can really work with them, learn from them,
and also teach them some things.”
Hamilton, who celebrated at the team's factory back in
Brackley last week, added: “Collectively we can climb
mountains. They've been delivering time and time
again.”
Mercedes have admitted Hamilton faces a possible grid
penalty in the final grand prix of the year in Abu Dhabi.
Speaking in the team's Pure Pitwall debrief, chief
strategist James Vowles said: “After the first pit-stop
with Lewis we noticed quite a significant problem. It
required a huge amount of input from within the team to
get the car towards the end of the race.'
“The net result of that is the engine has sustained some
level of damage, but we do not understand what, and it
has to be inspected and understood before we can
make any decision going forward to Abu Dhabi.”
But even if the engine is deemed unfit for service, one
option still available to Mercedes would be re-
introducing an engine that Hamilton has previously
used without any sort of penalty.

Uncontrollable sexual urges are a problem for many
Distress from uncontrollable
sexual urges affects nearly
10 percent of Americans, a
new study in the journal
JAMA Network Open says.
The gender gap between men
and women was smaller than
researchers expected.
Wikimedia Commons
The amount of Americans
struggling to control their sexual
urges might be higher than you
expect, a new study says.
Researchers estimated in the past
that up to 6 percent of Americans
struggle with unwanted sexual
desires, although it could be as low
as just 2 percent. But Janna
Dickenson, a human sexuality
researcher at the University of
Minnesota, says a newly-
published study she authored
found “a much higher prevalence”
of distress from sexual urges than
once thought.
Just over 10 percent of men in the
U.S. struggle to control sexual
impulses, while 7 percent of
women deal with the same issue,
according to the new study.
The study calls it a “significant
clinical problem that warrants
attention from health care
professionals.”
To r e a c h t h e i r f i n d i n g s ,
researchers sampled 2,325 U.S.
adults who took place in the
National Survey of Sexual Health
and Behaviour, the study says.
Along with a proportionate split of
men and women, the study took
from all 50 states and those ages
18 to 50.
The subjects' answers were
analysed using the Compulsive
Sexual Behaviour Inventory 13,
which gives a person a score after
they answer questions such as
“how often have you made
pledges or promises to change or
alter your sexual behaviour,”.
Those who scored 35 or higher on
the questionnaire which had a
scale of 0 to 65 experience
“clinically relevant levels” of stress
and impairment, according to the
23 Nov. - 29 Nov. 2018
study. That is also known as
compulsive sexual behaviour
disorder.
The disorder is described as “a
persistent pattern of failure to
control intense, repetitive sexual
urges, which results in repetitive
sexual behaviour that causes
marked distress or social
impairment,” according to the
study.
“Such distress and impairment
includes neglecting social
activities or personal health,
repeatedly attempting to control
sexual behaviour unsuccessfully,”
the study says, “and continuing to
engage in sexual behaviour
despite adverse consequences or
even when the individual derives
minimal pleasure from his or her
sexual activities.”
Along with the high amount of
people who struggle with sexual
22
News Corner
disorders, the researchers say
they are also surprised with the
number of women who have the
problem. Of those estimated
Americans struggling with sexual
impulses, 40 percent of them are
women. “These results prompt us
to thoughtfully consider our
assumptions and biases about
gender and sexuality and how they
can contribute to sexual health
concerns,” Dickenson said,
according to Newsweek. “More
research needs to be done to
determine whether women's
distress about their sexual urges
and behaviours is comparable to
the distress that men feel about
their sexual urges and
behaviours.”

What Time
At 4 am a desk clerk at a hotel gets a call from a
drunk guy asking what time the bar opens. "It
opens at noon," answers the clerk. About an
hour, later he gets a call from the same guy,
sounding even drunker. "What time does the bar
open?" he asks. "Same time as before - noon,"
replies the clerk. Another hour passes and he
calls again, plastered. "Whatjoo shay the bar
opins at?" The clerk then answers, "It opens at
noon, but if you can't wait, I can have room

You Must Be Single
A woman was shopping at her local supermarket
where she selected: A half-gallon of 2% milk, A
carton of eggs, A quart of orange juice, A head of
romaine lettuce, A 2 lb. can of coffee, And a 1 lb.
package of bacon. As she was unloading her
items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk
standing behind her watched as she placed the
items in front of the cashier. While the cashier
was ringing up her purchases, the drunk calmly
stated, "You must be single." The woman was a
bit startled by this proclamation, but she was
Intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since she was
indeed single. She looked at her six items on the
belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about
her selections that could have tipped off the
drunk to her marital status. Curiosity getting the
better of her, she said "Well, you know what,
you're absolutely correct, but how on earth did
you know that?" The drunk replied, "Cause
you're ugly."

Smuggling
Jose arrives at the Mexican border on his bike
with 2 huge bags over his shoulders.
The guard stops him and asks: "What's in the
bags?" "Senior, It's only sand." replies Jose.
"Sand??? Well, we'll just see about that - get
off the bike!" The guard takes the bags, rips
them open, empties them out and finds nothing
in them...except sand.
Detaining Jose overnight, the sand is
analysed, but only to discover it is in fact
simply sand. Jose is released, the sand is put
into new bags and placed on Jose's shoulders,
and he is let across the border.
Next day, same thing happens. The guard
asks: "What you got there?" "Sand," says Jose.
A thorough examination of the bags again
shows there to be nothing but sand, and
subsequently Jose is allowed to ride across the
border. For a whole year this continues until
one day Jose doesn't show up, and the guard
discovers him in a Cantina in Mexico.
"Hey, Bud," says the guard, "I know you're
smuggling something. For a year it's driven me
crazy. It's all I can think about... I can't get
sleep, the kids are getting neglected...heck,
even the dog senses I'm beginning to lose it!
Between you and me, just what are you
smuggling?"
Jose sips his beer, smiles and replies:
"Bicycles..."

Badung Regency Environment and

On Thursday, November 8, 2018,
officials returned to the Hotel to
ensure the new, tighter procedures

were at an end. The head of the

“So naturally, I turned around at

Despite her pun, Miss Durham said
she was surprised when what she
really thought had been a bird, turned
out to be an empty box, with the
description of a 7'' Uncut Cock on it.
“I thought it was really weird, so I
picked up the box but there was
