"Selama beberapa tahun belakangan, kita telah menyaksikan besarnya gerakan startup di negara-negara seperti Singapura, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Filipina, Taiwan, Thailand, dan Myanmar. Saya segera menyadari betapa berbedanya ekosistem startup di wilayah ini. Banyak di antara elemen yang kami, sebagai venture capitalist, remehkan di Silicon Valley, tanpa diduga ada di Asia Tenggara. Jelas bagi saya sejak semula bahwa dalam hal ini, Asia Tenggara memiliki semua hal yang dibutuhkan untuk menciptakan wilayah startup yang sukses, hanya saja belum berkembang."

"The industry provocateur behind such companies as Twitter and a nascent Facebook presents an irreverent exposé of life inside the tech bubble that traces his hedonist lifestyle against a backdrop of early social media and online marketing, sharing critical insights into how they are shaping today's world."

"Faced with ever-shrinking reserves of fossil-based energy, in addition to the damaging impacts of the use of fossil-based energy sources, such as the greenhouse effect and global warming, efforts are needed to find energy alternatives. Currently under development as an alternative source of renewable energy, utilizing solar energy as its source, is a device incorporating the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), which works using the simple photosynthetic-electrochemical principle at the molecular level. In this type of device, inorganic oxide semiconductors such as titanium dioxide (TiO2) offer great potential for the absorption of photon energy from the solar energy source, especially in the form of a TiO2 nanoparticle structure. In this study, a commercial TiO2 nanoparticle was used. The as-received TiO2 nanoparticle was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). For sensitizer, a natural dye extracted from mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) pericarps was used. The extracted natural dye was characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) for the functional groups, whereas ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) was used to examine the absorption activity of the extracted natural dye. Performance of the DSSC was analyzed through a precision current versus potential difference (I-V) curve analyzer. The maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the mangosteen natural dye was obtained using ethanol containing 20% distilled water as compared to commercial organic dye with a PCE of 4.02%. This result is convincing and promising for the next development."

"Synopsis: Eric Weiner spent a decade as a foreign correspondent for National Public Radio in the US. He has been based in New Dehli, Jerusalem and Tokyo and has reported from more than thirty countries. He's also served as a correspondent for NPR in New York, Miami and, currently, Washington D.C. Weiner is a former reporter for the New York Times and a Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford University. After travelling the world, he has settled quasi-happily, in the Washington area, where he divides his time between his living room and his kitchen. What makes a nation happy? Is one country's sense of happiness the same as another's? In the last two decades, psychologists and economists have learned a lot about who's happy and who isn't. The Dutch are, the Romanians aren't, and Americans are somewhere in between...After years of going to the world's least happy countries, Eric Weiner, a veteran foreign correspondent, decided to travel and evaluate each country's different sense of happiness and discover the nation that seemed happiest of all. ·He discovers the relationship between money and happiness in tiny and extremely wealthy Qatar (and it's not a good one)·He goes to Thailand, and finds that not thinking is a contented way of life. ·He goes to the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, and discovers they have an official policy of Gross National Happiness!·He asks himself why the British don't do happiness?In Weiner's quest to find the world's happiest places, he eats rotten Icelandic shark, meditates in Bangalore, visits strip clubs in Bangkok and drinks himself into a stupor in Reykjavik. Full of inspired moments, The Geography of Bliss accomplishes a feat few travel books dare and even fewer achieve: to make you happier. The grumpiest man on the planet goes in search of the happiest place in the world "Part travelogue, part personal-discovery memoir and all sustained delight, this wise, witty ramble reads like Paul Theroux channeling David Sedaris on a particularly good day...Fresh and beguiling."" * Kirkus Reviews * Eric Weiner spent a decade as a foreign correspondent for National Public Radio in the US.

"Kota adalah bagian dari kehidupan manusia, dimana manusia hidup didalamnya, bergerak, beraktifitas dan melakukan banyak hal lainnya. Ada begitu banyak kota di dunia ini dan masing-masing memiliki karakternya tersendiri. Sebuah kota seharusnya dapat dibedakan dari kota yang lainnya. Agar bisa dibedakan sebuah kota harus memiliki suatu identitas, suatu karakter.Dengan memiliki identitas maka sebuah kota dapat diidentifikasi dan dikenal. Dengan dikenalnya sebuah kota, maka kota tersebut akan mendapatkan banyak keuntungan dengan sendirinya, seperti banyaknya turis yang akan datang dan pada akhirnya perekonomian kota tersebut juga akan meningkat.Salah satu elemen pada kota yang mudah untuk di'baca' dan diidentifikasi adalah jalanannya. Setiap manusia pastinya mengalami pergerakan di jalan-jalan pada kota, baik dengan menggunakan kaki ataupun kendaraan bermotor. Karena itu dengan sendirinya manusia akan memahami sebuah kota paling cepat dari jalanan yang ada pada kota tersebut. Tentunya elemen pada jalan sangat bervariasi, dan inilah yang akan membentuk karakter pada jalanan tersebut, dan akhirnya akan membantu terbentuknya identitas pada kota.Jika pengolahan pada elemen-elemen jalanan tersebut dilakukan dengan baik dan terencana, maka akan terdefinisi sebuah karakter yang baik pula dari jalan tersebut dan tentunya identitas suatu kotapun akan ternilai secara baik pula."
