Cukup susah mencari mal-mal atau tempat perbelanjaan yang representatif dalam hal tempat ibadah muslim (Masjid atau Musholla), bahkan sepengetahuan saya
tidak ada yang punya masjid satu pun.

Ini tidak mengherankan sih, soalnya saya juga belom pernah ketemu mal di berlin ada gerejanya. Mungkin ketika dibali, suka ada bangunan2 kecil seperti pura yang analogis dengan musholla kalo dijakarta tempat saya mencari sesuap nasi.

Fenomena musholla di Mall mungkin akan terus berkembang seiring dengan menjamurnya mal di indonesia, termasuk di ibukota jakarta yang makin sumpek ini.
Mungkin kalo boleh membandingkan, hal in sama saja dengan berkembangnya musholla kantor dari zaman ke zaman, dulu tahun 80-an konon orang sholat diam-diam karena susah solat dikantor. Sekarang, sholat dengan khusyuk berjamaah di kantor adalah kemewahan yang bisa dirasakan oleh siapa saja.

Balik lagi tentang musholla di mal (dijakarta), buat saya musholla yang oke itu ada di Senayan CIty dan di Pacific Place.
Musholla di Senayan City terletak di Lower Ground, dekat dengan Cafe Betawi dan salah satu kedai Frozen Yogurt,

Membangun Komunitas Melalui Kewirausahaan Sosial Berbasis Komunitas

“We are living in a phenomenal age. If we can spend the early decades of the 21st century finding approaches that meet the needs of the poor in ways that generate profits and recognition for business, we will have found a sustainable way to reduce poverty in the world.”

Bill Gates: Worlds Economic Forum 2008

Dunia ini penuh dengan apa yang John Elkington dan Pamela Hartigan sebut sebagai unreasonable people, yakni orang-orang yang tidak mau mendengar skeptisme sekitar dan percaya bahwa pasar yang seringkali bersifat eksploitatif dapat digunakan untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan-permasalahan sosial dan lingkungan demi kepentingan bersama. Kami memanggil unreasonable people ini dengan sebutan Wirausahawan Sosial, yaitu wirausahawan yang memiliki tujuan sosial, sebagai nilai mereka yang paling utama.  

Kewirausahaan sosial berkembang di Inggris sejak tahun 1970an ketika komunitas mengambil inisiatif untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan sosial, ekonomi dan lingkungan di sekitar mereka dengan pendekatan kewirausahaan. Kegiatan sosial dan lembaga swadaya masyarakat mulai bergerak dari tradisi mengandalkan kontribusi amal (charity) ke mengupayakan pendekatan kewirausahaan untuk menjamin kesinambungan layanan sosial mereka. Mereka menjalankan usaha yang inovatif untuk meraih pendapatan. Pendapatan tersebut kemudian digunakan untuk meningkatkan atau mempertahankan kemampuan lembaga tersebut untuk melakukan aktivitas sosialnya.

Mengenai cost recovery seluruh KKKS berproduksi di Indonesia sebenarnya
relatif stabil, “hanya” sekitar 3.6% per tahun. Kenaikan biaya produksi
tidak hanya terjadi di Indonesia tetapi dari seluruh dunia. Perlu diketahui,
bahwa cost recovery di Indonesia adalah terendah dibandingkan negara-negara lain .
Namun, sejak ditandatanganinya KKKS PT Pertamina EP pada 17 September 2005,maka terjadi kenaikan cukup drastis. Berikut contoh data cost recovery KKKS (tidak termasuk PEP) untuk 2004; 2005; dan 2006 berturut-turut adalah sebagai berikut: 5.33 miliar US$; 5.62 miliar US$; dan 5.92 miliar US$.

AFS (originally the American Field Service) was established in 1915 by A. Piatt Andrew, a onetime economics professor at Harvard University and former U.S. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Begun as a service of volunteer ambulance drivers in 1914,[1] AFS has evolved into an international youth exchange organization and has been renamed the AFS Intercultural Programs.

Worldwide, AFS is a group of over 50 independent, not-for-profit organizations, each with its own network of volunteers, professionally staffed office, and volunteer board of directors. In 2007, almost 13,000 participants traveled abroad on AFS cultural exchanges between 65 countries, as supported by 36,000 active volunteers. [2] The U.S.-based affiliate, AFS-USA, sends more than 1,500 U.S. students abroad and places international students with more than 2,800 U.S. families each year.

As of 2008 there are over 55 AFS organizations worldwide, serving over 80 different countries, providing exchange opportunities for over 12,000 students and teachers annually.

Modern Day

AFS is one of the largest volunteer-based organizations of its kind in the world with more than 30,000 volunteers worldwide and more than 8,000 in the U.S. Tens of thousands of volunteers and a small staff make the AFS program happen worldwide. AFS volunteers are both young and old, busy.. Continue Reading »

Tax Haven : Luxembourg

A tax haven is a place where certain taxes are levied at a low rate or not at all. Individuals and/or firms can find it attractive to move themselves to areas with lower tax rates. This creates a situation of tax competition among governments. Different jurisdictions tend to be havens for different types of taxes, and for different categories of people and/or companies.Examples of tax haven country :  Gibraltar , Hong Kong , Ireland ,Isle of Man , Labuan,   Liechtenstein, Luxembourg,Macau 

and in summer 2007, i had this rare chance to go to one of the tax haven country :

622px-symptoms_of_swine_flusvgSwine influenza (also swine flu) refers to influenza caused by any virus of the family Orthomyxoviridae, that isendemic to pig (swine) populations. Strains endemic in swine are called swine influenza virus (SIV), and all known strains of SIV are classified as Influenzavirus A (common) or Influenzavirus C (rare). Influenzavirus B has not been reported in swine. All three clades, Influenzavirus A, B, and C, are endemic in humans.

People who work with poultry and swine, especially people with intense exposures, are at risk of infection from these animals if the animals carry a strain that is also able to infect humans. SIV can mutate into a form that allows it to pass from human to human. The strain responsible for the 2009 swine flu outbreak is believed to have undergone this mutation.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in humans the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A few more patients than usual have also reported diarrhea and vomiting.

Because these symptoms are not specific to swine flu, a differential diagnosis of probableswine flu requires not only symptoms but also a high likelihood of swine flu due to the person’s recent history. For example, during the 2009 swine flu outbreak in the United States, CDC advised physicians to “consider swine influenza infection in the differential diagnosis of patients with acute febrile respiratory illness who have either been in contact with persons with confirmed swine flu, or who were in one of the five U.S. states that have reported swine flu cases or in Mexico during the 7 days preceding their illness onset.” A diagnosis ofconfirmed swine flu requires laboratory testing of a respiratory sample (a simple nose and throat swab).

Prevention

Recommendations to prevent infection by the virus consist of the standard personal precautions against influenza. Continue Reading »

Dilbert’s “Salary Theorm” states that “Engineers and scientists can never earn as much as business executives and sales people” This theorm can now be supported by a mathematical equation based on the following two postulates:

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.

Postulate 2: Time is Money.

As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time Since: Knowledge = Power and Time = Money Then: Knowledge = Work / Money Solving for Money, we get: Money = Work / Knowledge.

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of work done.

Conclusion: The less you know, the more you make.

Tips Wawancara Kerja

Folks, kalo kamu lagi nyari kerja (hampir) pasti dalam tahapannya kamu bakal ketemu tahap wawancara. Biasanya bahkan lebih dari sekali wawancara untuk satu posisi perkerjaan. (pengalaman pribadi hehe). Buat kamu yang (merasa) uda jago karena emang dasarnya uda sering ikut wawancara dan pas sekolah/kuliah ikut organisasi, tapi buat kamu yang merasa kurang PeDe boleh mencoba tips dari gw dibawah ini, mudah-mudahan berguna.

  1. Berpakaianlah yang Pas. Kenapa harus Pas? yang pasti rapih itu harus ya..kalo kamu ngelamar jadi sales asuransi berpakainlah berdasi , kalau kamu ngelamar jadi field engineer lapangan bolehlah pake kemeja jeans, jangan sebaliknya hehe..
  2. Istirahat yang cukup sehari sebelumnya.Jangan sampe gagal hanya karna telihat lemas dan sering menguap saat wawancara.
  3. Jangan grogi.Salah satu cara menghilangkannya adalah dengan cara berpikir bahwa semua kandidat pun mengalami hal yang sama. Grogi gak bakal ngebantu proses wawancara kamu.
  4. Datang 30 menit sebelum dimulai.Biar kamu tau toilet dan kantiin dimana,kalo kamu beruntung bisa ngobrol santai bareng si pewawancaranya, jadi nilai tambah lo! juga mungkin bisa ngobrol ama  kandidat lain, ga semuanya kompetitor koq, bisa jadi tambah-tambah jaringan atau mungkin ‘ehm’ kalo dia oke bisa digebet (apalagi yang waktu kuliah dan skolah ga sempet pacaran)hehe..
  5. Santai tapi serius. Seimbang aja.
  6. Cari tau tentang perusahaannya.Ibaratnya mau jadi pacar koq ga tau apa-apa tentang  si doinya.

Mungkin ada tips tambahan dari rekan-rekan yang lain? Ditunggu ya…

cup-of-coffee1 Semua dari kita mencari kebahagiaan, no matter kita    kaya atau miskin, beragama atau tidak, pendek atau  tinggi , pintar atau kurang… banyak yang berhasil ,  banyak pula yang engga.. karena kebahagiaan bukan  berada disatu titik , dia ada dibanyak tempat..sehingga  kita selalu mengejarnya dalam Pursuit of Happiness..  Selamat membaca kemudian Perhatikan Apa Yang  Terjadi ! (Mario Teguh mode on, hehe)
                                                                                                                                                             A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups – porcelain, plastic,glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite – telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:

“If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most casesit is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups… And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live.

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us.”
