Sugar's chemical energy is turned
into electricity.
Rechargeable bio-batteries
running on sugar might be powering
our electronic gadget in as little as
three years, according to US team of
scientist. The battery, created by the
group of Percival Zhang at Virginia
Tech, can convert all the potential
chemical energy stored on a sugar
into electricity.
The prototype is similar in size
to an AA battery of 596 amp hours per
kilogram – roughly one order of
m a g n i t u d e g r e a t e r t h a n a
smartphone's battery. This means that
it could last twice as long as
conventional lithium-ion batteries on
weight-for-weight basis.
Most living cells generate their
energy by passing it
down an enzymatic chain.
However, short of combustion,
extracting this energy from a sugar
if you are not a biological
organism is tricky.
To fuel their battery the team
used maltodextrin-a polymer
made up of glucose subunits. They
then created a new synthetic
enzymatic pathway to
from the sugar. Using 13
different enzymes they were able
to strip, on average, 24 electrons
form a single glucose molecule,
which can then be harnessed to
power an electrical device.

The team's artificial pathway uses
two redox enzymes to oxidize glucose,
generating reduced nicotinamide
adenine dinucleotide (NADH) as the
sugar is broken down. Another 10
enzymes further break down the
sugars and feed them back to the
redox enzymes to produce more
NADH. NADH is a reducing
agent and team member Zhiguang
Zhu describes it as 'an electron shuttle
that carries electron in living cells from
one molecule to another.
NADH first
transfer the electrons stripped from
the glucose to a mediator with the
help of an enzyme. The mediator than
delivers these electrons to the
battery's electrode, ready to power a
device.
According to the team, the battery
already has a number of advantages
compared with lithium-ion batteries:
the bio-battery has a high-energy
storage density and can be recharged
easily and quickly by topping it up with
more sugar solution. Also, while
lithium is limited resource, sugar is
abundant and totally safe to use.
Cost could also be an appealing
factor too. The enzymes are much
cheaper than the metals used in
conventional batteries. And the bio-
battery is also biodegradable.
In the battery,
P l a m e n A t a n a s s o v , a
bioelectrochemist at the University of
New Mexico, US, says the research
provides a viable alternative to
combustion to directly generate
electricity from biofuels. 'It is the link
between biotechnology and biofuels
with fuel cells and electrochemical
energy technology,' he says.

Based on Chinese legend & traditions brought to, the Mid-Autumn Festival is
now celebrated yearly in August or September, to commemorate the selfless act of
Chang' e, the wife of a merciless ruler. Observe and capture the timeless fond
traditions surrounding the festival by heading to Chinatown, the vibrant hub of the
Chinese community, to soak in the convivial mood. The beautiful giant lantern
displays, mini-stalls selling paper lanterns in various shapes and sizes and striking
variations of the traditional mooncake delicacy will make great subjects for
photography and add colour to your travels. For the culinary adventurous and budding
gourmands, sample scrumptious (a rectangular box or circle shape thick
pastry dough filled with yummy ingredients) in traditional flavours like lotus and egg
yolk or varieties like durian, chocolate, coffee and ice-cream.

While here, you'll catch dragon-boating crews from all corners of the world
compete for honours in this competition. Dragon boat teams consist of 22
able-bodied members who furiously pit their rowing skills against one another in
search for the ultimate glory. It's a sport that has its roots in ancient China, and like
numerous Asian sports, dragon boat racing also has a rich and mystifying
heritage.
Today, dragon boat racing is a more cheerful spectacle. Dragon Boat Racing in
Singapore is a must for all sports fans, as it is a competitive, vigorous sport with lots of
action, thrills and spills; and is just as ideal for great day full of wholesome family fun
and entertainment. What's more, dragon boat racing, with its drumbeats,
mesmerising chants and intense camaraderie is also a joy to watch and savour.

SINGAPORE — This island city-state,
thanks to its small size and a big public
investment, could soon be the first
country blanketed with a fiber optic
infrastructure so fast that it would
enable the contents of a DVD to be
downloaded in only a few seconds.
The new network is expected
to give a strong boost to the growth of
services like online video and Internet
telephony. Pyramid Research, which
analyzes the telecommunications
business, expects the revenue of
Singapore telecommu-nication
operators to rise to $5.1 billion by
2014 from $3.8 billion in 2009.
The new network, stimulated
by an investment of 1 billion
Singapore dollars, or about $700
million, from the government, will
help the country leap ahead in an
international race to roll out faster
broadband speeds, a competition in
which several Asian countries are in
leading positions.
While policy makers in many
places are still debating their high-
speed bro-adband strategies,
considering, for example, whether
development should be led by the
public or private sector, broadband
users in some parts of Asia already
have access to the next generation of
high-speed networks.
Japan and Hong Kong have
been leading the way, with private
companies already offering speeds as
high as one gigabit per second, or
1,000 megabits per second — many
times as fast as the 35 megabits per

do not cover every home.
South Korea, one of the
world's most wired places, has also
announced plans to complete a new
broadband network offering one
gigabit per second in all major cities
by 2013.
For the development of its
network, Singapore is relying on a
mixture of public subsidies and
private-sector participation and
separating three main functions: the
building of the infrastructure, the
operation of the network and the
provision of retail services.
OpenNet, the infrastructure
builder is owned by a consortium
formed by Axia of Canada and three
Singaporean companies — SingTel,
Singapore Press Holdings and SP
Telecommunications — using existing
parts of SingTel's network. As part of
the agreement, SingTel has agreed to
transfer certain infrastructure assets to
a separate entity, owned by SingTel, by
2011. It has agreed to reduce its stake
in that entity to less than 25 percent by
April 2014.
The infrastructure operator,
which received a grant of 750 million
S ingapore do l la r s f rom the
government, is required to have the
new network operating in Singapore
by the end of 2012. So far, it has laid
fiber optic connections to about 30
percent of all the buildings; it is aiming
for 60 percent coverage by the end of
this year.

Khoong Hock Yun, an official
in the Infocomm Development
Authority of Singapore, said the
government had seen an opportunity
to introduce a next-generation fixed-
line network, as well as to restructure
its telecommunications sector.
“If you look at history across
many developed countries, after years
of liberalizing their telecom sector, the
essential part of their fixed-line
network is still owned substantially by
the incumbent,” he said, referring to
former monopoly providers like
SingTel. “Those who have the physical
i n f ra s t ru c tu re have a huge
competitive advantage, and every
service company remains dependent
on the incumbent for their fixed line
network needs.
“As a result, much of the pace
of development, in terms of pricing
and services offered, really depends
on the investment decision of that
incumbent and whether they want to
partner with other people to create
solutions they may not be prepared to
offer at that point in time themselves.”
B y s e p a r a t i n g t h e
infrastructure building from the
running of the network, the authority
believes it can create a more
competitive environment with more
effective open access to downstream
operators, Mr. Khoong said.
The Singaporean model
draws its inspiration from several
community broadband networks that
can be found at the local level in
countries like Britain, France, the
Netherlands and Sweden.

S i n g a p o r e i s a conglomeration of Chinese (76%), Malay (15%) and Indian (6%) cultures. In the past, this racial mixture has lead to some conflict. However, today most Singaporeans enjoy racial harmony and national unity. Each group works hard to maintain its cultural traditions while building a modern, cohesive society. Singaporeans of the younger generation think of themselves as Singaporean first, and as Chinese, Malay or Indian second.
· Shake hands with everyone present at a business meeting or social occasion. Shake hands again when leaving. Your handshake should be firm.
· Singaporeans may bow slightly as they shake your hand. Many Westerners are g e n e r a l l y t a l l e r t h a n Singaporeans, so it would be polite to give a small bow. A slight bow for Chinese or older people is polite.
· Never touch a person's or child's head. The head is considered sacred.
·
is The foot is considered the
lowest part of the body, and
is thought to be unclean. The foot should never be used to point at someone, and you should never show the bottom of your feet. Tapping your foot or fidgeting your legs denotes feebleness and lack of interest. When crossing your legs, do so only by placing one knee over the other.
· Raise your hand to get someone's attention. Never signal or point at a person with the forefinger. Do not pound your first on an open palm; this is obscene. The forearm jerk is a rude gesture.
· Westerners are expected to be punctual for social occasions and business meetings. Call if you are delayed. Tardiness is viewed as a sign of disrespect.
· Business cards are exchanged upon being introduced. Exchange business cards with both hands after you are introduced.
· The government finances m a n y o f t h e l a r g e corporations in Singapore. This bureaucratic system is known for its high efficiency and corruption-free business s t y l e . W e s t e r n - s t y l e management is evident in

· Allow a Chinese host to invite you to start your meal and begin eating before you start to eat.
· When finished with your meal, place chopsticks on the chopstick rest (setting them on your plate means you are not finished).
· Be on time for dinner in a Malay home. The dinner is usually served immediately with no drinks or appetizers beforehand.
· Indians always wash their hands before and after a meal. In a Malay home, you will be given a small bowl of water and a towel. Use the water to wash your hands.

· Malays and Indians use a spoon along with their hands to eat, but never use your left hand to eat (unclean). If given a spoon and fork, hold the spoon in your right hand and use your fork (left hand) to push food onto the spoon.
· Never let the serving spoon touch your plate and never share your leftovers. Indians believe that anything that touches someone's plate is tainted.
· It is impolite to refuse initial offers of food or drink. To refuse seconds, place your hand above your plate and say, "No, thank you." When finished, place your spoon and fork together on your plate. If they are not placed together, you will be offered more food.
· After a meal with Indians, e x p e c t t o s t a y f o r approximately one hour of conversation.

· Women should wear blouses with sleeves and skirts or pantsuits.
· Each ethnic group shares different gift giving traditions.
· Business gifts are generally not exchanged.
· Use both hands to give someone a gift. A gift given to a guest or the host is not opened in the presence of the giver.
· Be careful of the gift being misinterpreted as a bribe, even a small gift. Never give a government official a gift, which might be considered a bribe.
· Always bring the hosts a gift when invited to someone's home.

Greetings between Men & Women-
There are three major ethnicities in Singapore; Chinese, Malay, and Indian. Greetings tend to differ between the three.
The Chinese are comfortable with a light handshake, sometimes accompanied with a touch on the arm. Malay men will use the handshake and also the salaam accompanied with a slight bow. Indian men will use the handshake and also the namaste. Handshakes are the most common form of greeting. They are usually gentle and not to prolonged. Many people use a two handed handshake when greeting and departing.
C h i n e s e w o m e n a r e comfortable with a light handshake or just a slight nod of acknowledgment. Malay women will use the handshake but many times a simple salaam or bowing of the head will suffice. Indian women will use the handshake a n d a l s o t h e n a m a s t e .
While handshakes are a common form of greeting, many times a simple nod or slight bow will do. Wait for the women to initiate with all three ethnicities. The majority of Muslim women and men do not touch

RENUNGAN AEC
Dalam rangka menjaga
stabilitas politik dan keamanan
regional ASEAN, meningkatkan daya
saing kawasan secara keseluruhan di
pasar dunia, dan mendorong
pertumbuhan ekonomi, mengurangi
kemiskinan serta meningkatkan
standar hidup penduduk Negara
Anggita ASEAN, seluruh Negara
Anggota ASEAN sepakat untuk
segera mewujudkan integrasi
ekonomi yang lebih nyata dan
meaningful yaitu ASEAN Economic
Community (AEC). AEC adalah
bentuk integrasi Ekonomi ASEAN
yang direncanakan akan tercapai
p a d a t a h u n 2 0 1 5 . U n t u k
mewujudkan AEC tersebut, para
Pemimpin Negara ASEAN pada KTT
ASEAN ke-13 pada bulan Nopember
2007, di singapura, menyepakati AEC
blueprint, sebagai acuan seluruh
N e g a r a A n g g o t a d a l a m
mengimplementasikan komitmen
AEC.
Pada tahun 2015, apabila
AEC tercapai, maka ASEAN akan
menjadi pasar tunggal dan berbasis
produksi tunggal dimana terjadi arus
barang, jasa, investar i , dan
tenaga terampil yang bebas, serta
arus modal yang lebih bebas diantara
N e g a r a A S E A N . D e n g a n
terbentuknya pasar tunggal yang
bebas tersebut maka akan terbuka
peluang bagi Indonesia untuk
meningkatkan pangsa pasarnya di
kawasan ASEAN.
Dua paragraf inilah yang
tercantum dalam kata pengantar
pada buku yang berjudul 'Menuju
ASEAN Economic Community 2015'
yang dibuat oleh Departemen
Perdagangan Republik Indonesia.
Dari paragraf tersebut ada yang
menarik perhatian saya yaitu, '…akan
terbuka peluang bagi Indonesia untuk
meningkatkan pangsa pasarnya di
kawasan ASEAN', artinya peluang kita
(Indonesia) untuk meningkatkan
perekonomian semakin terbuka
lebar. Keren kan?. Selain itu apa lagi
sih peluang kita di AEC nanti? Kalo kalo buku 'Menuju ASEAN Economic Community 2015' sih begini :
a. Manfaat integrasi ekonomi, dorongan peningkatan efisiensi dan daya saing akan semakin tinggi.

b. Pasar potensial dunia, pada tahun
2008 penduduk ASEAN sudah
mencapai
Jumlah penduduk Indonesia yang
terbesar di kawasan
tentu
saja merupakan potensi yang
sangat besar bagi indonesia
menjadi negara ekonomi yang
produktif dan dinamis yang dapat
memimpin pasar ASEAN di masa
depan.
c. Negara pengekspor, nilai ekspor
Indonesia ke intra-ASEAN hanya
18-19% sedangkan ke luar
ASEAN berkisar 80-82% dari total
ekspornya. Indonesia sudah
mencatat 10 komoditi unggulan
ekspornya baik ke dunia maupun
ke intra-ASEAN selama 5 tahun
terakhir ini (2004-2008).
d. Negara tujuan investor, sebagai
Negara dengan jumlah penduduk
terbesar (40%) diantara Negara
Anggota ASEAN, Indonesia
diharapkan akan mampu menarik
investor ke dalam negeri dan
mendapat peluang ekonomi yang
lebih besar dari Negara Anggota
ASEAN lainnya.
584 juta orang.

e. Daya saing, kondisi pasar yang
sudah bebas di kawasan dengan
sendirinya akan mendorong pihak
produsen dan pelaku usaha
lainnya untuk memproduksi dan mend i s t r ibus ikan ba rang
yang berkualitas secara efisien
sehingga mampu bersaing
dengan produk-produk negara
lain
f. Sektor jasa yang terbuka, sektor-
sektor jasa prioritas yang telah
ditetapkan yaitu, pariwisata,

disusul dengan logistik. Tetapi
hanya beberapa negara ASEAN
yang mempunyai perkembangan
jasa yang sudah berkembang
seperti Singapura, Malaysia dan
Thailand. Kemajuan ketiga

The name “wonton” literally
means "swallowing of cloud" in
Cantonese. Indeed, the dumplings

Singaporeans prefer the dry version of
the noodles. Wonton noodles look
simple but the perfect one is elusive.
The thin egg noodles need to be of the
right texture, the sauce has to be well-
balanced, and the pork or shrimp
dumplings ought to be

sliced char siew (Chinese BBQ pork) is
often papery dry and red with artificial
dye but that hardly deters fans of the

up into little pieces and fried with
preserved turnip, soy sauce, fish
sauce, eggs, garlic and spring

Yet another dish favored by
hardworking laborers of the past.
Thick yellow egg noodles mixed with
rice vermicelli are cooked in a rich
seafood stock, and tossed with

Sugar's chemical energy is turned
into electricity.
Rechargeable bio-batteries
running on sugar might be powering
our electronic gadget in as little as
three years, according to US team of
scientist. The battery, created by the
group of Percival Zhang at Virginia
Tech, can convert all the potential
chemical energy stored on a sugar
into electricity.
The prototype is similar in size
to an AA battery of 596 amp hours per
kilogram – roughly one order of
m a g n i t u d e g r e a t e r t h a n a
smartphone's battery. This means that
it could last twice as long as
conventional lithium-ion batteries on
weight-for-weight basis.
Most living cells generate their
energy by passing it
down an enzymatic chain.
However, short of combustion,
extracting this energy from a sugar
if you are not a biological
organism is tricky.
To fuel their battery the team
used maltodextrin-a polymer
made up of glucose subunits. They
then created a new synthetic
enzymatic pathway to
from the sugar. Using 13
different enzymes they were able
to strip, on average, 24 electrons
form a single glucose molecule,
which can then be harnessed to
power an electrical device.
