Anak laki-laki penyandang disabalitas itu memilah-milah kain perca yang menumpuk di lantai, kain kiriman dari tukang jahit di kota itu. Lalu, ia memilinnya, sebuah praktek kerajinan yang baru beberap ahari dipraktekkan ibu gurunya di sekolah. Ia tersenyum puas, meski pekerjaanny amemilin belum kelar. Tampaknya, anak laki-laki berparas tampan itu akan membuat keset dari kain perca. Begitu petikan feature, yang menggambarkan lingkungan, kondisi dan orang-orang yang berhubungan dengan dunia mereka.
Ada celoteh sekelompok orang ketika menilai kemampuan spesial yang dimiliki guru: “Sarjana apapun bisa jadi camat, tapi tak bisa serta-merta jadi guru!”—menunjukkan bahwa guru adalah profesi, bukan pekerjaan biasa yang bisa ditiru oleh siapa saja. Guru, sebagaimana layaknya dokter: memerlukan keprofesiaan tertrentu, sebab ia mengemban SDM, dan tentu mempersiapkan generasi masa depan bangsa. Kesalahan pembelajaran, atau didaktik-metodik yang digunakan guru, dampaknya tidak serta-merta diketahui hari ini, bulan depan atau tahun depan: tapi sepuluh atau dua puluh tahun mendatang, dan jika itu salah, negara yang menjadi korban. Maka, guru di mana pun selalu menjadi manajer, dalam sebuah kegiatan fisik, atau psikhis. Buku ini membicarakan masalah tersebut.
Ketika guru tidak disibukkan bertatap muka dengan siswa, maka kesempatan berkreasi di luar kelas semakin terbuka lebar. Di luar sana, guru menulis buku; berkiprah dalam hjualan online; meramu jamu, sampai dengan mengajak perempuan sekampung untuk ikut berkreasi dalam sebuah kerajinan yang menghasilkan uang, setidaknya meringankan beban ekonomi keluarga. Dalam buku ini, banyak dikisahkan kegiatan guru di luar kelas sana. Menarik dibaca, dan inspiratif.
Antologi cerpen ini mengisahkan perjalanan hidup anak-anak kampung atawa guru-guru PK-PLK (Pendidikan Khusus-Pendidikan Layanan Khusus), yang sukses di sana, dan membangun di sini. Antologi cerpen “Di Gerbang Orchid Kubisikkan Sesuatu” menjadi bagian penting dari kebangkitan literasi, setidaknya ikut memperkaya khasanah lembaran susastra Indonesia. Ada banyak cerpen (cerita pendek) yang bertebaran di ‘sana’: di berbagai forum dan media. Bahkan, medsos menjadi ‘ajang’ penting dan berharga untuk memproklamirkan karya, bukan sekedar tempat ‘adu’ publikasi. Ini menunjukkan adanya sebuah kebangkitan lembaran susastra Indonesia. Meski kadang, karena begitu mudahnya memublis karya, kualitas karya seringkali dipertanyakan. Tapi, berbeda dengan “Di Gerbang Orchid Kubisikkan Sesuatu”, kumpulan cerpen yang layak dibaca, bukan hanya layak dipublis.
Nowadays, the concept of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) is starting to replace the concept of MDGs (Millennium Developmental Goals). It is a global goal adopted by all United Nations member states. It emphasizes the idea that the development of every country can only be achieved by balancing other factors such as social, economic, and environmental sustainability. It is already clear how sustainable development works with environmental ethics and management. However, there are still issues regarding the sustainable development and human well-being. Sustainable development should focus on finding a way for society to meet their present needs for the long term without sacrificing the abi...
Summary: "Since the rise of the Taliban and Al Qaeda, the traditional Islamic schools known as the madrasa have frequently been portrayed as hotbeds of terrorism. For much longer, the madrasa has been considered by some as a backward and petrified impediment to social progress. However, for an important segment of the poor Muslim populations of Asia, madrasas constitute the only accessible form of education. This volume presents an overview of the madrasas in countries such as China, Indonesia, Malayisia, India and Pakistan."--Publisher description.

Advanced machining processes has significant contributions to the manufacturing industries, especially since many new invented materials have advanced properties, which are difficult to machine using conventional machining processes. Therefore, advanced machining processes take a lead in dealing with these types of material. This book focuses on electrical machining and electrical dressing processes. Chapter 1 explains the electrochemical machining (ECM), includes process parameters that involved in the ECM processes. Chapter 2 deals with another advanced machining process, i.e. electro-discharge machining (EDM). Several process parameters that contribute to the EDM processes are also discussed. Electrical dressing is described in Chapter 3 as a special application of ECM and EDM. Finally, other types of non-conventional machining are explained in Chapter 4.
