LONDON IS PERFECT PLACE TO CREATE NEXT FACEBOOK

London has major advantage over silicon valley as a technological Centre but it has nothing to do with technology,the founder of Wikipedia said on 11/October/2011.Jimmy wales said the capital's museum and galleries are more exciting than'BORING' California.
'London is a fabulous city culturally.it's the crossroads of the world.Silicon valley is Frankly,a dull place to live'
MR Wales said.
'You move down to the valley and it's deathly boring.people don't dream of moving to San Jose. it's not like London'
MR Wales spends half the year in London and believes it is the perfect palace for the next Mark Zuckerberg-who created Facebook-to emerge.
However,MR wales claims the project could be hampered by Britain's attitude to entrepreneurs.
'One thing the UK has on the downside is an excessive willingness to complain and knock things that aren't that bad'he said.
MR Wales is preparing to act as head of the judging panel at the Tech entrepreneur week in December, where 800 delegates including 200 investors and hundreds of small companies, exchange ideas.
East London where the Government is trying to build its own 'TECH CITY' to rival Silicon Valley has attracted dozens of internet firms.
Google recently unveiled plans to set up an office helping small firm there and the old street area has already been dubbed the 'Silicon roundabout' after dozens of dotcom firms arrived there.
Mike butcher of technology website TechCrunch also runs TechHub, a shared office space for start-ups just off Old street roundabbout. 'There is substance behind this' he said.
'London's starts-ups reference the cultural surroundings,fashion,music and arts really influence what people are producing.
'Historically people haven't been able to fail in the UK, and has been problem-in silicon valley people often get funding because they've failed and proved themselves, however it is changing now.
Silicon valley,south of Fransisco Bay has spawned technology glants such as Apple,Google,Yahoo and Intel.In recent years it has become the hub of the dotcom boom.

The Cat Story : Lutung

I have the black cat who named Lutung. I found Lutung while she was little. She was thin while the first time I founded her. She was found at the time of being dumped by an old lady. Lutung seems to lack of food. Now she is not as it used to anymore because I always give nutritious food.Now she is not as it used to anymore because I always gave her a nutritious meal.I have a unique experience on the cat. She always follows wherever I go, including when I went to the shop to buy food for her. She often leaves shop owner surprised by her behavior. Once shop owner chuckled seeing her behavior while I was shopping at the shop. She is at once adorable mischievous cat. Why not, my legs always bitten over and over again until I feel pain. I can not stand by the cat's behavior but I never cried when she ran away because I was late home from work. She seems angry. She did not return for several days. I feel very sad to lose her to me at that time. I always prayed she would be home soon.My prayer was granted. My neighbor told me. She came home. When out of the house, she looked sitting on the fence wall. Her body looks thinner than ever and his voice hoarse. *** 

Manchester for the alternative

2/OCTOBER/2011.More than 35.000 People have taken  part in a march trough a central Manchester protesting again  government cuts.

Member of j4dw taken part in Manchester

Minggu dini hari cuaca di kota London sudah mulai dingin tapi tidak menyusutkan semangat para anggota j4dw(justice for domestic worker) untuk pergi ke sebuah kota Manchester kota besar kedua setelah london.Perjalanan ke kota Manchester dari kota London memerlukan waktu sekitar empat jam menggunakan kendaraan bus khusus yang telah di sediakan oleh kantor pusat Unite Union cabang london di mana organisasi j4dw salah satu member group di  Unite Union.
jam dua belas tengah hari mereka tiba di kota Manchester dan semua peserta demo telah siap-siap untuk mengadakan demo terhadap pemerintahan yang akhir-akhir ini kurang bijaksana terhadap para penduduk di karenakan pemerintah yang baru mengadakan pengurangan/pemotongan kebijakan di berbagai bidang.

fight for the right

Selama perjalanan ke tempat yang di tuju yaitu sebuah lapangan para pendemo tentunya berbagai cara mereka lakukan sebagai ungakapan-ungkapan terhadap ketidak puasan terhadap pemerintah.Bahkan ada para pendemo yang sengaja memancing amarah terhadap para petugas keamanan.Di sini para petugas di kerahkan untuk melindungi para pendemo bukan untuk mencari masalah walau kadang mereka sangat terpojok oleh ulah para pendemo di sinilah mereka benar-benar menunjukan cita diri sebagai petugas.Ada celoteh kecil dari para pendemo asal migrant worker'Di negara kita sendiri kita takut mengadakan aksi-aksi begini bahkan belum pernah tapi di sini kita bebas untuk mengungkapkan pendapat'.Itulah salah satu ke kelebihan/kebijakan di negara Inggris.Pemerintah mendengar keluhan,pendapat,keinginan dll.. dari rakyatnya sebelum keputusan itu di tetapkan.

pendemo dari kelompok cacat tak mau ketinggalan mereka tergabung dalam satu organisasi khusus

Seorang ibu  masih semangat ikut demo walau dia terjatuh dan mengalami pendarahan.Semangatnya tetap berkobar..

Darah merah dari seorang ibu aktivis yang pantang menyerah simbol dari perjuangan

SRI warga negara indonesia yg aktif di organisasi J4DW semangat terus walau usianya telah lanjut.....'BRAVE SRI'
