When we talking about Election, should it talk about Candidates, Vote and winners or loser. In Indonesian Election especially their local election like Major election, or Governor Election, there is an unique fact. Most Their winner wasn’t from their candidates itself, but the winner was from an group with didn’t choose one of them. In  Indonesia a person who didn’t give their vote to one of candidates called “Golput” or “Golongan putih”. There are 2 opinion why Golput always win, first one Indonesian now not believe anyone to be their leader or the second opinion was Indonesian people don’t care about who will their leader because for them, all of candidates was same bad. So ironic for Indonesian, because when their government do a things or take a decision which Indonesian feel don’t have any benefit for them, Indonesian always do demonstration. But when they must choose their leader, they don’t want to choose.

France, one of beautiful Countries in Europe. A country which is located in western Europe. Talking about France, we couldn’t talk about wine. France is the best wine’s producer in the world. Most of best wine is produced in France especially in Bordeaux. In France there is special thing which we couldn’t miss it when we travel to, Their Architecture. There is, technically speaking, no architecture named French Architecture, although that has not always been true. Gothic Architecture’s old name was French Architecture (or Opus Francigenum). The term “Gothic” appeared later as a stylistic insult and was widely adopted. Northern France is the home of some of the most important Gothic cathedrals and basilicas, the first of these being the Saint Denis Basilica (used as the royal necropolis); other important French Gothic cathedrals are Notre-Dame de Chartres and Notre-Dame d’Amiens. The kings were crowned in another important Gothic church: Notre-Dame de Reims. Aside from churches, Gothic Architecture had been used for many religious palaces, the most important one being the Palais des Papes in Avignon. Paris as France’s capital city also have gothic architecture. for example their hotel. So when we visit Paris, most of Hotel Paris has Gothic architecture. In Paris, there is also Eiffel Tower, one of seven wonders in the world. Eiffel Tower is one of France photos. So will be interesting to visit France when spending our holiday.

Solar cell energy, one of alternative energy. Their source is solar which mean will be unlimited energy resource. This kind of energy using Photovoltaic or generally called Solar Cell’s panel. This equipment changes solar become electric power with Positive and negative electron flow inside of the panel with their differentiation of electron,   results of electron flow is DC electric which fullfil battery. Problem using this kind of energy is their price. Their equipment not so easy to produce and their size too large. But i think it still good enough to starts save our environment. And the main reason is solar cell is free and unlimited energy resource.

China again and again build a new innovation building in their country. It was located in Beijing, Capital city of China.

A structural, geotechnical, security, mechanical, electrical and public health engineering services to architect Rem Koolhaas’ and Ole Scheeren’s design for the 234m high, 450 000m CCTV headquarters.

The total development is 5 813 000ft² (540 000m²) consisting of two main buildings: the CCTV building and the Television Cultural Centre (TVCC).

This first building is not a traditional tower, but a continuous loop of horizontal and vertical sections that establish an urban site rather than point to the sky. The irregular grid on the building’s facades is an expression of the forces travelling throughout its structure.

It would be a significant structural challenge anywhere in the world, but is especially so as Beijing is in a highly seismic zone. Arup carried out a huge amount of work to demonstrate structural stability in order to satisfy local planning needs.

The second building, the TVCC, includes a hotel, a visitor’s centre, a large public theatre, and exhibition spaces. It is visible from the main intersection of the Central Business District through the window of the CCTV headquarters.

Construction of the CCTV Headquarters is now well under way. The site has been excavated, raft foundations laid and the steel work is being installed on site.

A lot of work was done for prescribing criteria for construction, and for monitoring the construction process, with emphasis on measurement of movement. The contractors working methods have to fit within the parameters of the design.

The entire structure and the façade will be completed before the start of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. We could called it China government’s ambition to make more tourist come to China. Their main value is their shape which was has so unique design.

China as a host of olympic 2008 really try to be good host. Last week China Government published a new Chinese yuan (RMB) money which using Bird Nest ( 2008 Olympic’s Venue) as a picture. For the first time a modern Chinese banknote does not have the portrait of Chairman Mao Zedong. Exactly one month before the start of the Beijing Olympic Games the People’s Bank of China issues a commemorative 10 RMB bill. It features the newly built already iconic image of the National Stadium known as the Bird’s Nest on the front and the ancient Greek statue of a discus thrower “Discobolus” on the back.

Because it’s limited edition (only have 6 millions pieces in a whole of China) so it would be great collection or money collector. In the China’s market this money’s value increase untill 400 yuan per pieces.

as we know 2008 summer olympic would be held in Beijing, China. This olimpic would be special, why?? because after 1988 Seoul olympic, this olympic would be the first time olympic which held in Asian. China as the most population’s country has prepared this olympic since 5 years ago, so would be very interesting to see their work. China as the most highest economic growing country would be very good market for olympic comitee to promote this event.

Beijing 2008 will start at August 8th 2008. “8″ for chinese people has a good meaning. 8 in chinese is “ba”, many of chinese like 8 because if you speak 8  in chinese vocal was like you speak “fa” which means prosperity.

so … let’s see the olympic effect for business in the center of recession issue.

Once you read or give it a deeper study to Danis way of life, dont be surprise that you may find your eye lifting or forehead wrinkling. Why? Because the Dani is uniquely amazing.

The Dani men and women sleep separately in different honai (Danis traditional house). The men sleep grouped in one honai, while the women and children slumber in another honai. As descended from their ancestor, sex is taboo for the women after giving birth, for 2 or 5 years, as the result the Dani generated healthier kids since the women focus on babysitting the kids during the most important phase of growth. This situation makes the men vulnerable to polygamy, its a true fact of life that the Dani men are allowed to have more than 1 wife or as many as he can afford. A man should give 4-5 pigs to the girls parent he wants to marry. For Dani men, his social status are initiated by the number of wives and pigs he has.

Another remarkable custom of Dani is that women will amputate their finger when their relatives die, hence doesnt be surprise when you see women with missing finger.
