Blogger has improved and so does me!

Its been awhile since I shared a story on this blog. I had a lot of things going on lately. Got websites to develop, audio-visuals to supervise, a new group in Baguio to launch, a new set of ORM prospects, Region 1  expansion, speaking engagements in Baguio, in Vigan and in Eastern Pangasinan plus of course a major client to monitor.

Yeah. I'm not busy after all. :)


I did this photo supposedly to join a contest but unfortunately, I can't connect to the internet in our house in Baguio City, so i wasn't able to upload it.  I find it relative to Blogger's new interface. Its improvement is better for bloggers like me. It is better today than it was yesterday and so I am, too.


We have a lot of things coming up this September. We are going to launch Baguio DigiPreneur Society and we are so excited about it. Baguio is a highly urbanized city and people are very active and highly intelligent there. I believe Baguio ranks  "Top 9 in the Cities of the Future." Wow, it makes it more exciting to be part of a group that innovates the social media landscape in the City of Pines.

Our presence was introduced by an article at the Baguio Midland Courier written by Ms. Liza Agoot.

BMC article published on August 28, 2011




 (L-R) Benguet Farmers Coop Pres. and officers, Vanj, Tony Topacio, Vlad Cayabas 
 After this, we had series of meetings with prospective clients by the cafe, together with our partner NIIT Baguio led by Vlad Cayabas-- its School administrator who is a very active social persona.

We wanted for this very young group to train upcoming bloggers, social media marketers and online community managers for the clientele in Baguio which is ripe for the picking.

The official launch is initially scheduled on September 17, 2011 at NIIT Baguio. Invited are the members of Baguio media community, BDS clients and ICT movers in CAR.

As the Special Projects Group, BDS will handle IT solutions, IT ventures, IT trainings and Digital Projects in the city of Baguio catering to the public and private sector.

For those who wanted to join this very young group -- you may contact NIIT Baguio for details.

And totally off the subject, but will get you "talking in circles", is this stuff.  For any of you coffee lovers out there, you have got to try Trader Joes "ready to drink" Cafe Mocha or Cafe Latte.  I never thought coffee in a can would be any good but this stuff surprised me.  Low fat to boot.  These are awesome especially over ice and they give me the jolt of energy I need come 4:00.  Go getcha some.


*Y'all, I hate this, but cannot remember where I found a few of these images.  If you know, please let me know so  I can give credit.  Thanks

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

TRANSFORMATION
Original naration by B.Josie Susilo Hardianto, executive summary by Darmansjah Godjali

Dew had just shed when Egenus Tigi changing jerseys and pants with orange-colored clothing field. Today, he and his colleagues wanted to clear the weeds that grow in plots at the riverside. In the plot, the Egenus will plant the seeds of coffee which he had prepared.
 
From the side log cabin where he lived, Egenus Tigi shouted for his friends, Martinus Kegiye, Julian Iyai, and Dogomo Agus, who was joking while changing their clothes to dress the field.
 
In the middle of the joke he suddenly Mama Wakay, residents Bomomani, come. He asked one of them to help pick coffee in the garden.
 
Noon he no longer has enough time for the garden because it was about to roast coffee beans that have been dried. "Su, try coffee Bomomani-kah?" He asked.
 
Questions inviting taste. One hundred percent organic, picked ripe, with a distinctive aroma and taste of arabica, the coffee from the region Mapia, Dogiyai regency, Papua, it has been named. In the era of the 1970s until the late 1990's coffee products from Mapia had become a byword throughout Papua. Unfortunately, the glory was fading now.
 
In villages, the remnants of coffee trees can still be found as high as 4 meters. Fortunately in Bomomani to you left and fairly well maintained, and that is currently in development back by Egenus Tigi.
 
"The direction is not mass production, but to cover everyday needs while building the ethos of the farmers," said Wahyu, a companion who shared Egenus Tigi resume agricultural development in Bomomani.
"Initially there was a shame because usually men do not work in the garden," said Egenus Tigi.

internal space

Lecturer Graduate School of Philosophy Driyarkara, Jakarta, Herry Priyono, say, what is related to real community empowerment can not be done through the project approach, a quick look at the results. "Empowerment can only be done in the evolutionary process because time can not be skipped and human development can only be reached through time," said Herry.
Unfortunately, that is precisely what is currently happening in Papua. Observer human rights issues in Papua, Father John Jonga, said many of the parameters of success demonstrated by the development of physical projects. Markets are built on the border with Papua New Guinea in the Pay Tents, Keerom, for example, currently just overgrown weeds and wild plants.

Sparked by the desire advanced, self-supporting community are looking back a wealth of tradition to develop themselves. Internal spaces, such as emawaa or traditional homes and gardens known owadaa or Tribe Mee, turn on again at Mapia, Kamuu, Tigi, and Enarotali.

In emawaa, people discuss everyday issues and decide together what should be done for their communities. And again owadaa developed to cultivate local plants that have advantages.

In addition to meet daily needs, the result is also directed to break the dependence on commodities from outside Papua. Likewise in education.

"Growing and help develop internal awareness is important so that people become confident," said Neles Tebay.

What do Egenus Tigi and his colleagues may realize what the Neles Tebay called internal

When LED Market Will Grow again?

LED MOCVD Installation

Korea and Taiwan dominated in number of MOCVD installation in 2009.

China came up as leading installation region and became major site for installation since Q4’10. China is expected to continue to be the dominant MOCVD market until Q3’ 12

But China will shrink from three third down to 60% in Q4’12 when Taiwan and Korea rebounds.

Largest MOCVD Installation Base

Epistar is expected to be #1 MOCVD customer in 2012, followed by San’an, GCL Opto, SemiLEDs and Genesis Photonics onpur.

Such Rapid expansion in 2010-2011lead to an overcapacity that we think it will be fully utilized only by mid 2012.

LED lighting Status

Total LED lighting demand in Q2 & Q3 2011keeps increasing. The Demand

is 3.2 billion units for Q2’11. And the demand is predicted to be 3.4 billion units for Q3’11. The Growth is not seen as significant as we expected beginning of the year.

LED lighting Players

Due to Government encouragement for going greener energy, limited resources of these islands, as well the March 11 Quake issue that rocked the Nuclear Power plant, alerted Japanese Citizen and Government on using more efficient Source of Light. Japan, as biggest market for LED bulbs in 2011, with market share of 63 %, Japan will remain the biggest lighting market until 2014. Price of LED replacement Bulb keeps on dropping.

The downtrend of LED caused the LED light bulb price to drop from USD83 /Klm in 2010 to USD 52 / Klm at this stage. However, the initial cost of the LED light bulbs is still much higher than that of general light bulbs, so it is still too soon to say whether LED light can fully replace the latter. ASP of Japan LED light bulb was Yen 3000 for 5W in Q1 2010, and dropped to Yen 2,000 in Q1 2011, the speed of ASP drops slow down. That indicates that the adoption is slow down in Q2 2011.

LED bulb growth in China, North America and Europe will be higher than other areas from 2011 to 2014

China - biggest market for LED street lights in 2011, but due to China government policies. With market share of 55 %, but China will slightly decline to 50 % in 2013.

Economic Situation

We are now experiencing dual Core Economy (USA and Europe) slow down though the scale and intensity was not as worse of September 2008. We will not having the same good old day as the maket would bounce back as early as 2009 Q2 3 after Leman Brothers melt down 15 Sep 2008. Government Policy will not focus on Green Energy harvest rater than on job creation, economic reform, and stimulus plan for economy. Less incentive programmes for LED lighting penetration will be generated.

LED lighting Type

Highest penetration in spot lights Due to halogen replacements

Government policies are expected to accelerate LED penetration in street lights after 2011.

Package LED market Forecast

In 2010-2011, rapid expansion of MOCVD in China

Initiated in Korea and Taiwan since 2009.

Cause capacity utilization rate of <50% for certain tools by mid 2012.

It will take 12-18 months to absorb this overcapacity, and that causes a short down cycle

The down cycle will extend through mid 2013!

Some consolidations will bring the industry back to more usual utilization rates of at least 80%, before any capex initiation for next new investment including Manufacturing Equipment such as MOCVD, Die Sorter, Die bonder, wire bonder, tester, package sorter and Taping Machines.

Equipment Forecast for LED lighting

If adoption of LED for SSL happens faster than initially envisioned, it would lead to higher equipment investment levels. Excess capacity installed in 2010-2011 is absorbed much more quickly than expected. The Equipment market will bounce back significantly in Q1 2013 to respond to accelerated demand for general lighting applications.

Listening KL Monorail In Lhe Land Neighbor

Executive summary by Darmansjah

If one function is to showcase the capital of a State, Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia, managed to run that function. Case there are still plenty of places outside the KL city that appeared to be not organized, that's another matter.

Clearly, anyone who set foot in Malaysia through KL will agree that the city is neat, orderly traffic, safe, and clean.

No urban transportation (public transportation) is reckless scramble passenger or driver to stop at will. Nor was there a black smoke out of the vehicle exhaust. Public transportation in KL is a bus equipped with air conditioning and very clean note. To stop was only at bus stops have been provided.

To explore the TOS, there are three choices of transportation, ie air-conditioned city buses, taxis, and the KL Monorail (single-rail train). Editors suggest, you should choose a bus or KL Monorail to be richer traveling experience. No need to worry about getting lost, because the route followed by the two modes of transport were clearly displayed and we could ask the officers.

KL Monorail which began operating in 2003, connects 11 stations in key locations in KL with a route length of about 8.6 kilometers.

The journey starts from KL Monorail KL Sentral station at Jalan Tun Sambanthan, then stop at Station Tun Sambanthan, Maharajalela Station, Station Hang Tuah, Imbi Station, Station Bukit Bintan, Station Raja Chulan, Bukit Nanas Station, Station Medan Tuanku, Stsiun Chow Kit, and ends at Titiwangsa Station in Jalan Tun Razak. Hanay Each station is about 500 meters to 1 kilometer.

KL Monorail passes be some office buildings and shopping centers. For instance, Maharajalela Station near Petaling Street (China Town), Station Imbi Plaza and Berjaya Times Square Berjaya, Bukit Bintang Station located in the plaza Sunge Wang and Bukit Nanas station close to the Petronas twin Manara.

KL Monorail driving with an average speed of 30 kilometers per hour and operates from 6 am until 12 pm tonight. For each way, just pay a ticket for RM 2.1, or about Rp. 5800.

Well, again via the KL Monorail, the KL show its teeth. Starting from a clean stsiun condition without any scratch and streak free, street vendors or hawkers, to the regularity of waiting and queuing into the KL Monorail is worth a thumbs up.

We never tired of love Indonesia, although the government has never existed, would that we as a society of small and unpretentious, and start from ourselves, to behave disciplines, such as not littering, or the sweetness of school children or college students keep the public walls remain clean with no vandalism, and well-organized sidewalk vendors though for reasons of survival, are not we capable of? Because the City or Village has sunk so deep in their affairs provision dividing the State money, into the coffers of their own group.

We do not hate or patriotic moment when the news gives another the islands and territorial unity of Indonesia in the areas taken over by Malaysia, Singapore, China, Taiwan, Thailand or Vietnam though; to fight them, because the war will cost very much, from where Countries that have more money minus, for example: there is no development to remote areas in the State frontier, the absence of an adequate fleet to keep the islands and waters of Indonesia, all the aircraft was already obsolete because many are afflicted with the loss of experts or intellectual youth of the nation with useless because the only technological problems of old planes dropped until the aircraft or the sinking of the waters, and welfare of the soldiers were far from prosperous, want proof can be seen in places of military institutions are spread across all areas of the archipelago.

Again, do not be ignorant of this nation, Malaysia imitate, they can afford, the same black hair, brown skin the same color, not much different Malay language, was the same religious majority, what else is wrong, intellectuals are not spelled out a lot but still there. Why can not we? Disciplined not to enrich themselves by not corruption, is not clean it is part of faith, life is very short, why not begin with ourselves for not entangled in a consumerist society, to fill the brevity of this life with things that are not allowed by Religion, is the stage of justice in our country are so dilapidated, that do wrong and loot people's property and the State in quantities very much (it was a matter trillion) was released, it's not justice for the poor or small  can  not pay for services of attorneys who have tariff paid work is very expensive, the results of the trial judge's decision or the hurt of a sense of justice for public, indeed corrupt officials could be free and walked gracefully in this mortal world, could be released from the snare of the law, but remember those sins no will never be separated from the the Court of the Most Just, sooner or later they will die and accountable for the sins they do, surely will not escape from the all-powerful law in the Hereafter.

We, the Indonesian nation, Able, starting from our personal past, until berterbaran with family members, cultural groups, to society. Malaysia Can, proper Already we can say CAN. By action rather than slogans or big ads in the media sweet either audio or visual, and banners are fluttering along the way protocol.
