		<content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[Last night was the so called “Supermoon”, where the moon was at perigee, which is closest orbital point to the Earth while the moon was in full phase. This makes the moon appear larger by up to about 14% and brighter by up to around 30%. <br /><a href="javascript:openpopup('http://www.siki-bali.com/en/blog/images/supermoon.jpg',550,412,false);"><img src="http://www.siki-bali.com/en/blog/images/supermoon.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="" id="img_float_right" /></a><br />A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the moon’s disk as seen from Earth. The technical name is the perigee-syzygy of the Earth Moon Sun system. The term “supermoon” is not an astronomical one, but one that originated in modern astrology. The association of the Moon with both oceanic and crustal tides has led to claims that the supermoon phenomenon may be associated with increased risk of events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. However, the evidence of such a link is widely held to be unconvincing. <br /><br />The Moon’s distance varies each month between approximately 357.000 kilometers (222,000 mi) and 406,000 km (252,000 mi) due to its elliptical orbit around the Earth (distances given are center to center).<br />]]></content>

		<content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[Tari Pendet or Pendet dance is a traditional dance from Bali Indonesia that was originally a dance of religious worship. Tari Pendet is used to play in a Hindu’s Temple in Bali. This dance symbolizes the reception on the descent of gods into the earth. Lately, over the development period, the Bali artists change this dance to be a welcome dance although it still contains of sacred religious symbols. <br /><a href="javascript:openpopup('http://www.siki-bali.com/en/blog/images/tari_pendet.jpg',259,194,false);"><img src="http://www.siki-bali.com/en/blog/images/tari_pendet.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="" id="img_float_right" /></a><br />Tari Pendet is performed in groups or pairs.

		<title>Tumpek Kandang</title>
		<link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.siki-bali.com/en/blog/index.php?entry=entry120424-074132" />
		<content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[The word tumpek is originally derived from the ancient Javanese dialect and is similar to tempak or Saturday. The term kandang is Balinese and means cage or pen. From a Hindu perspective tumpek is an important day on the Balinese calendar and is believed to have great mystical value. The underlying message of Tumpek Kandang is one of respect. Love and devotion is not just restricted to mankind, but also the environment, animals and all living things.<br /><br />On the morning of Tumpek Kandang in rural areas of Bali, cows are bathed and lengths of white and yellow cloth are draped over their backs, similar to a man dressed in a traditional sarong. Pigs are a bit more difficult to handle, but both animals are decorated with flower garlands, and given specially prepared food to eat. Prayer takes place and the family livestock, as well as domestic pets, are sprinkled with holy water and rice. <br /><a href="javascript:openpopup('http://www.siki-bali.com/en/blog/images/tumpek_kandang.jpg',500,375,false);"><img src="http://www.siki-bali.com/en/blog/images/tumpek_kandang.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="" id="img_float_left" /></a><br />Balinese Hindu’s believe that God created animals as a component of human life. According to ancient Balinese scriptures that refer to the cosmological perspective of the world’s creation, it is mentioned that following a period of emptiness God first created plants, then animals and finally human beings. It is the plant kingdom that sustains the animal kingdom and together they provide life for mankind. For this simple reason, man is obliged to preserve his natural surroundings and the wellbeing of flora and fauna.<br /><br />Tumpek Kandang has more meaning on the showing of evidence that Balinese is a community that is aware of animal welfare. This means, there is an awareness of owing “merits” to the animals, since such creatures are the preserver of the equilibrium of the ecosystem. Without animals on earth, the life cycle does not work. <br />]]></content>
