PHUKET, THAILAND, June 07, 2011 (Press-News.org) The Kuningan day holiday is celebrated at the end of the Galungan festival, one of the most significant Hindu celebrations which marks the occasion of one's ancestors entering into heaven.
Seminyak Beach is a popular place for Indonesian Hindus to spend the holiday since its pretty streets and coastal roads make ideal backdrops for Kuningan's processions and parades. Foreign tourists are also welcome to join in the celebrations and with Seminyak Beach being a popular travel destination in its own right, the town can expect to be thriving around July 16th when Kuningan takes place.
Among the other celebrations and festivities involved in Kuningan, a particular highlight is the 'penjor'. The penjor is a large bamboo stick which is placed at the front of the local Hindu temple and is used to dancing around and leaving gifts and offerings.
Lek Boonlert, marketing head at DirectRooms.com, comments: "Experiencing a traditional religious festival like the Hindu day of Kuningan is a really special thing when done somewhere like Bali. Any people thinking of travelling to Bali around the middle of July would be best advised to book Seminyak Beach hotel well ahead to avoid disappointment."

Expertise provides buffer against bias in making judgments
2011-06-07
Roanoke, Va. -- Gratuities, gifts, sponsorship, product price, free samples, favors all can influence judgment and decision-making. If a person is influenced in their choice of cereal, the result is a bit of income for a manufacturer. But a lot of people can be impacted if a politician is influenced by support from a special interest; or the health of a handful of patients can be affected if a physician is influenced by gifts from drug reps.
Scientists with the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute have demonstrated through behavioral research and brain scans using ...

Hawaii's "Don't Drink Yourself Fat" Campaign
2011-06-07
It may have started this way: one passerine flying high above a plant-free, uninhabited and unnamed island - in the Pacific, north of the equator - unknowingly drops one seed from a mud-encrusted thigh.
That seed and many others brought to the islands by other birds, animals, people and the wind now feeds the island's residents and visitors. That island is presently called Hawaii.
Ancient Hawaiians were innovative farmers and skilled fisherman whose customs of sharing food amongst their communities lives on today as residents of present-day Hawaii struggle to return ...

The findings will be presented June 6 at the Endocrine Society Meeting in Boston, Mass., by Lubna Pal, associate professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Science at Yale School of Medicine.
