Kutipan di koin 2 pound Inggris
Di salah satu sisi koin ada tulisan: elizabeth 2 dei gra reg fid def. Diambil dari bahasa latin: Elizabeth II Dei (tuhan) gratia (berkat) regina (ratu) fidelis (iman/fidelity) defensor (pembela/defender). Yang kalau disatukan: atas berkat rahmat tuhan, elizabeth 2, ratu dan pembela iman. Ckckck, Inggris itu negara religius.
Tulisan kedua: Standing on the shoulder of giants. Pasti tahu dong, ini dari siapa? Ya betul, dari Sir Isaac Newton.

Two Indonesians Prosecuted for Selling Ipad with English Manual
Detikcom reported that two Indonesians selling Ipad through the popular www.kaskus.us forum had been prossecuted. Indonesian consumer law Article 8(1) does prohibit business actors to sell computerware without equipping it with Indonesian language manual. Failure to comply entails a 5 year imprisonment. The law was, of course, meant to protect consumer. Sadly, it does not differentiate retail selling with direct selling. As a result, anyone wishing to sell their computer products through direct selling, will be liable for imprisonment, up to 5 years.
Kasus ini bermula ketika Dian dan Rendy menawarkan 2 buah Ipad 3G Wi Fi 64 GB di forum jual beli situs www.kaskus.us. Entah karena apa, tawaran ini membuat anggota polisi Polda Metro Jaya melakukan penyelidikan. Lantas, seorang anggota polisi, Eben Patar Opsunggu, menyamar sebagai pembeli. Transaksi pun dilakukan pada 24 November 2010 di City Walk, Tanah Abang, Jakarta Pusat.
Lantas, keduanya ditangkap polisi. Jaksa Penuntut Umum (JPU) Endang, mendakwa keduanya melanggar Pasal 62 Ayat (1) juncto Pasal 8 Ayat (1) Huruf j UU/ UU 8 Tahun 1999 tentang Perlindungan Konsumen karena tidak memiliki manual book berbahasa Indonesia. Lalu, Pasal 52 juncto Pasal 32 Ayat (1) UU Nomor 36/ 1999 tentang Telekomunikasi, karena I Pad belum terkategori alat elektronik komunikasi resmi. Ancaman pidana penjara paling lama 5 tahun penjara. Kasus ini masih berlangsung di PN Jakarta Pusat.
This is of course, an absolute stupidity, a barrier to trade, and probably a violation of human rights. Judges are expected to be wise when adjudicating this case, but as far as Indonesian judges are concerned, one cannot expect too much, even for something as trivial as this.

Water Companies not Covered by the UK Environmental Information Regulation
WATER COMPANIES: NOT PUBLIC AUTHORITIES UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REGULATIONS
The Upper Tribunal (Administrative Appeals Chamber), inSmartsource Drainage & Water Reports Limited ("Smartsource") v The Information Commissioner, has upheld the decision of the Information Commissioner ("IC") and found that privatised water and sewerage companies do not fall within the definition of public authorities for the purposes of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 ("the Regulations").
The scope of determining what is a public authority under the Regulations has always been wider than under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 ("FOIA"). This case will therefore also be of interest to privatised utility companies and other regulated bodies, as it looks at the issues of control and providing functions of public administration in relation to determing what is a public authority.
Under the Regulations, the public has a right to request environmental information from any public authority. The definition of "public authority" includes: a government department; all organisations covered under the FOIA; or any other body or person that carries out functions of public administration or is under the control of a public body and exercises environmental duties.
Smartsource made a request for information from 16 different privatised water and sewerage companies under the Regulations. All of the water companies refused to provide the information on the grounds that they were not public authorities for the purposes of the Regulations.

Is there an ideology in transparency?
I suppose nothing is value free. Transparency itself is a norm for some people, although oftentime it is difficult to prove that its benefits outweighs its cost. This discussion must be very interesting. Unfortunately I am unable to find its archive. Well, some other time maybe. It’s a bit late for now. Time to hit the bed. Test done.
