Jakarta, Beritabulukumba.com – The Pi Network digital currency went viral with users owning 18 million Pi Network coins.

This news was conveyed by many Pioneers through posts on social media such as Facebook and Twitter (platform X).

According to circulating claims, Teltlk managed to gain up to 18 million Pi Network coins in their wallet.

This fantastic number is also known as the owner of the wallet with the largest balance so far.

“Teltlk has announced holdings of over 18 million PiCoins, leading all PiNetwork Mainnet wallets,” wrote the @cryptoleakvn account on the X platform.

Still from the post, it is stated that the Teltlk wallet currently holds more than 18 million Pi Coins.

This announcement is said to be unprecedented in that Pi’s wallet contains this amount of coins.

“This arouses curiosity in the community,” he concluded.

Pi Network is a new and first cryptocurrency with a tap-to-mine mining system via smartphone.

In its vision and mission, Pi Network wants to reach all groups so they can have digital currency.

The presence of the Pi Network also breaks the notion that mining digital currency requires expensive costs and computer equipment with high specifications.

This also differentiates the way of Bitcoin digital currency mining and Pi Network mining. ***

Distributing Core Functions in 5G networks

The evolution of communications technology has brought us to the era of 5G networks, promising faster speeds, lower latency, and the ability to connect billions of devices simultaneously. However, to achieve these ambitious goals, the architecture of 5G networks needs to be more flexible, scalable, and efficient than ever before. With the advent of CUPS, or Control and User Plane Separation, in later LTE releases, the telecommunications industry had high expectations for a prototypical distributed control-user plane architecture. This development was seen as a stepping stone towards the more advanced 5G networks that were on the horizon. CUPS aims to separate the control plane and user plane functionalities where the Control Plane (specifically the Session Management Function or SMF) is typically centralized while the User Plane Function (UPF) can be located alongside the Control Plane or distributed to other locations in the network as required by specific use cases.

Understanding the need for Distributed UPF

The UPF is a key component in 5G networks, responsible for handling user data traffic. Distributed User Plane Function (D-UPF) is an advanced network architecture that distributes the UPF functionality across multiple nodes closer to the user and enables local breakout (LBO) to manage use cases that require lower latency or more privacy, enabling a more scalable and flexible networking environment. With D-UPF, operators can handle increasing data volumes, reduce latency, and improve overall network performance. By distributing the UPF, operators can effectively manage the increasing data demands across different consumer and enterprise use cases in a cost-effective manner.

D-UPF also plays a crucial role in enabling edge computing in 5G networks. By distributing the user plane traffic closer to the network edge, D-UPF reduces the latency associated with data transmission to and from centralized data centers. This opens opportunities for real-time applications, such as autonomous vehicles, augmented reality, and industrial automation, where low latency is critical for their proper functioning.

Surakarta or Solo City, Central Java is famous as the center of Javanese culture which is still well preserved today. Parekraf friends can find many interesting things related to culture when traveling to Solo City. Starting from batik cloth with its flagship motifs: Parang Kusumo and Truntum, to cultural centers that still preserve traditions passed down from generation to generation.

This attraction is what finally succeeded in bringing Solo into one of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network lists. ​Quoting from the page en.unesco.orgthe UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) was formed in 2004 to promote cooperation between cities that places creativity as a strategic factor in sustainable urban development.

Overall, currently the UNESCO Creative Cities Network covers 350 cities from 100 countries representing seven creative fields, including Crafts and Folk Arts, Design, Film, Gastronomy, Literature, Media Arts, and Music.

The success of Solo City in being included in the ranks of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network was not achieved easily. Bearing in mind, this is Solo City’s third attempt to enter the UCCN list, after previously failing twice in the selection since 2017. This success makes Solo City one of 55 cities that have also successfully become new members of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the field of crafts. and folk art (folk arts and crafts).

The inclusion of Solo City on the UNESCO Creative Cities Network list is a very good step for the tourism sector and creative economy. Because, recognition from UNESCO can open up business opportunities and employment opportunities, as well as improve the economy and welfare of the people of Solo City, especially creative industry players.

The Key to the Success of the City of Solo in Entering UCCN

As mentioned at the beginning, the success of Solo City in being included in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network list requires quite a long effort. In 2023, apart from the city of Solo, there will actually be four County town others in Indonesia who also applied to be included in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network list.

The list of cities/regencies that have applied to be included in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network 2023 nomination includes: Bantul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta (sector folk arts and crafts); Salatiga City, Central Java (gastronomic sector); Belitung City, Bangka Belitung Islands (gastronomic sector); and finally the city of Solo, Central Java.

The selection of the city of Solo as a UNESCO Creative Cities Network category for crafts and folk arts is actually quite reasonable. Remember, the city of Solo is famous for various performing arts and culture which are widely known among tourists. Just mention one of the annual events Solo International Performing Arts (SIPA) which has succeeded in gaining attention at the international level.

Apart from that, there are several cultural events in the city of Solo that are interesting to watch directly, such as Solo Dancing, Solo Batik Carnival, Grebeg Sudiro, and Solo Keroncong Festival. On the other hand, the selection of the City of Solo as a UNESCO Creative Cities Network cannot be separated from the many places to watch performing arts that really reflect the culture of the City of Solo. Starting from the Central Java Cultural Park, Mangkunegaran Temple, Balekambang Park, to most recently Lokananta.

Until now, these places still regularly hold performing arts to preserve local culture. Like a puppet show, kethoprakRamayana ballet, wayang kulit performances, and contemporary performing arts.

For these various reasons, it is not surprising that the city of Solo has succeeded in being included in the ranks of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network, right?

Jakarta, Beritabulukumba.com – Dr Nicolas Kokkalis, founder of the Pi Network project, recently provided a statement regarding the Mainnet launch.

Although the original source is not yet known, Kokkalis’ statement is said to have been present during a question and answer session with the Pioneers on the project chat platform.

In the discussion, Kokkalis answered several questions that were relevant to the Pi Network community, including the open mainnet schedule.

The first question asked was regarding the exact date of the Pi Mainnet launch.

Kokkalis provided this highly anticipated answer by revealing that the official launch date will be announced via the company’s official website about one month in advance.

He stated that this announcement is scheduled to occur at the end of the third or fourth quarter of 2024.

This gives a strong signal that the open mainnet will actually be released at the end of 2024.

Kokkalis also answered questions about recent tests and Pioneer status.

He explained that the activity test, or what is better known as the vitality test, is actually additional data for Pioneers whose #KYC (Know Your Customer) status is tentative.

This status is indicated by an orange KYC ecosystem progress bar.

If the progress turns green, it indicates that the KYC process has been completed.

Kokkalis explained that there were misunderstandings that often occurred among the Pioneers.

Even though it is only an additional step for Pioneers with certain statuses such as tentative KYC.

Finally, Kokkalis answered questions regarding the KYC process and when it can be carried out by the public.

He explained that implementing KYC takes a relatively long time and cannot be completed in one process.

This process was gradual, with some Pioneers arriving earlier and others arriving later.

Kokkalis emphasized the importance of patience in this process and said that the project team is working to speed up this process to ensure that the plan is in line with the Pi Mainnet opening date. ***

POS-KUPANG.COM Reporter Report, Michaella Uzurasi

POS-KUPANG.COM, KUPANG – The figure of Fransiscus Go, who has been around the business world for approximately 20 years, shares his experiences in the Pos Kupang Podcast, Wednesday, 08/05/2024.

For him, apart from self-confidence, another important thing that an entrepreneur must prepare is a network.

It looks like Fransiscus Go’s journey to becoming a successful entrepreneur today, here is a clip from an exclusive interview with the host of Online Pos Kupang Manager, Alfons Nedabang.

Mr. Frans, what special mission did you arrive at in Kupang today?

The main and only aim was to attend the ordination of the Archbishop of Kupang, Mgr. Hironimus Pakaenoni. I left early this morning, arrived at 6 am.

I’m curious, how did you start your career as an entrepreneur?

Actually there is nothing special. Becoming an entrepreneur or entrepreneur is just one choice in our lives, there are those who choose to be professional and great too, there are those who choose to work in a laboratory and great too and so on. Everyone’s choices are different.

Well, by chance I chose to become an independent entrepreneur. Of course the journey is not always smooth, then there is time to start, there is time to learn, there is time to do business and there is time to look back to see what we have done yesterday to see what we have to improve on because the challenges of ten years ago and the challenges of today are different.

How many years old did you become an independent entrepreneur for the first time?

That was 20 years ago. That’s on my personal note, I want to be an independent entrepreneur at the age of 35. I emphasize that it is not just one goal but it requires preparation.

So to achieve being an entrepreneur I need an internship. I interned at two large companies, meaning I worked for five years (at each company) before I dared to try my own business.

So don’t you just start building a business straight away?

Yes Like recently our younger brothers won football, it’s impossible to practice in the afternoon, or at night they won. Surely they go through a training center. Likewise, to become an entrepreneur you have to enter a training center, namely working with the right companies for us to learn from.

Banyuwangi KLIKMU CO- Monitoring and Gathering Eco Bhinneka Muhammadiyah regional Banyuwangi was held for the first time Wednesday, May 8 2024. As the opening of the event, the Tapak Suci Putera Muhammadiyah attraction, the garuda dance and the gandrung dance were performed. The Garuda dance was created to show unity and oneness between various ethnic groups in Indonesia. Meanwhile, gandrung is an icon of Banyuwangi arts and culture which teaches about togetherness, mutual cooperation and unity in life.

The activity, which took place in the ballroom of the SMK Muhammadiyah 8 Siliragung Hotel, was attended by the Faith to Action Network team in Kenya, namely Farida Abdulbasit, Irene Bwari, and Erick Oloo, whose aim was to learn how to process waste with interfaith youth and students in Banyuwangi. “SMK Muhammadiyah 8 Siliragung is very grateful and happy to have been chosen to be part of Eco Bhinneka. “It really helped me to implement environmental conservation programs and harmony between students across religions.” Said Muhlas Efendi, Head of SMK Muhammadiyah 8 Siliragung.

This activity was attended by interfaith students, groups of environmental activist students, teachers and interfaith youth with a total of 50 participants. However, the visit of the Faith to Action Network from Kenya was of particular interest to the participants. Various snacks and fruit, as well as drinks with an environmentally friendly concept were part of the menu at this event.

With this gathering, Eco Bhinneka in Banyuwangi on the initiative of JISRA (Joint Initiative for Religious Action) and Muhammadiyah will become an example and inspiration for harmony and environmental programs at the Faith to Action Network in Kenya. Mukhlis Lahuddin, Chairman of the Muhammadiyah Banyuwangi Regional Leadership, explained that realizing Eco Bhinneka will take a long time. We must unite in our differences in beliefs, character, education, even economic class. It took Indonesia 78 years to reach today and still needs an explanation of “Bhineka” itself. Because time, generations and circumstances change continuously. Eco Bhinneka invites people to care about the environment and society.

Windarti, regional manager of Eco Bhinneka introduced Among (Youth of Eco Bhinneka Blambangan) which is an interfaith youth community initiated by Eco Bhinneka and was inaugurated on Saturday, December 29 2023. He also explained that Muhammadiyah 8 Siliragung Vocational School is a school supported by Eco Bhinneka. “Young people who are involved in Among need to be appreciated because apart from having personal activities, they can spend time on humanitarian, togetherness and caring activities,” said Mukhlis Lahuddin. He is ready to follow, see and report on this activity. He also hopes that Eco Bhinneka cannot be separated from historical writings that in 2022-2025 there will be a community activity called Eco Bhinneka and it will be successful in Blambangan.

Farida Abdulbasit, program manager of Faith to Action Network, in her speech appreciated friends who had displayed Banyuwangi arts and programs that had been implemented by Eco Bhinneka Banyuwangi. “The Eco Bhinneka team led by Windarti has good confidence. I was very amazed by the natural charm of Banyuwangi. “Banyuwangi is a pilot project for Eco Bhinneka in other areas,” he said. (Maydini/Winda)
