Angeline atau Engeline?

Angeline

Anak muda...Bila diperhatikan belakangan ini ada satu hal yang cukup menarik tentang pemberitaan kasus Angeline di media-media tanah air.

Media seperti Kompas, Viva, dan Republika memilih menggunakan kata Engeline, sedangkan Tempo, Merdeka, dan Liputan6 tetap bertahan dengan Angeline.

Penggunaan kata Engeline oleh media tersebut tentu karena mengikuti BAP yang dikeluarkan oleh Polda Bali pada 17 Juni 2015.

Tapi apa kira-kira alasan media yang tetap menggunakan Angeline?

Faktor kebangsaan Douglas Scarborough, ayah angkat Angeline, yang berkewarganegaraan Amerika sepertinya berperan penting di sini.

Menurut situs Nameberry nama Engeline sendiri tidak memiliki makna atau arti tertentu. Tidak heran jika nama tersebut tak tercatat dalam database sebagai nama populer. Hal ini berbeda dengan Angeline yang popularitasnya sudah tercatat sejak tahun 1880.

Dinas Jaminan Sosial Amerika (Social Security Administration) menunjukkan bahwa cukup banyak orang tua yang menamai anaknya dengan Angeline. Dalam periode tahun 2000 – 2014 nama Angeline meraih peringkat tertingginya pada 2007. Tahun yang sama saat Angeline dilahirkan pada 19 Mei di Canggu, Bali.

Kasus Angeline mencuat sejak penemuan jenazahnya pada 10 Juni 2015 di halaman belakang rumahnya di Jl. Sedap Malam. Bocah yang dilaporkan hilang sejak 16 Mei 2015 itu diduga dibunuh pada hari yang sama oleh MM dan AT. Polisi masih mengusut kasus ini dan jumlah tersangka masih dapat bertambah.

Nintendo's Satoru Iwata dies at 55

Bbc.com - Japanese video game maker Nintendo has said its chief executive Satoru Iwata has died of cancer at the age of 55.

Mr Iwata underwent surgery last year and had resumed his duties after a brief period of recovery.

A highly revered figure in the Japanese gaming scene, he was considered the leading figure behind some of Nintendo's most popular devices since he joined the company in 2000.

Most recently, he led Nintendo into the rapidly growing mobile gaming sector.

Growing up in Japan in the 1980s, Super Mario was a gaming character that you couldn't avoid. But as the gaming population started to decline in the late 90s, Mr Iwata knew that he needed to make products that were more appealing to non-gamers.

And he succeeded. Nintendo DS quickly became the world's best-selling handheld game console when it was released in 2004.

Two years later, there came another successful launch of Wii which was dubbed the computer game that even your grandma can play. Together, they switched on millions of new converts to computer games.

But the rise of mobile phone games has posed a serious threat to Nintendo and some investors questioned his decision not to enter the market sooner.

As he put it himself, Mr Iwata was a chief executive who had the brain of a games developer and the heart of a gamer.

The iconic game maker has been losing market share to top competitors like Sony's PlayStation and Microsoft's XBox, with its latest Wii U console third in line.

Nintendo made its first annual operating profit in four years to the year that ended in March.
 

'A titan'

Mr Iwata started out as a programmer in a Nintendo subsidiary in the 1980s and became president of Nintendo in 2002.

Under his leadership, the company launched its hugely successful Wii and Nintendo DS consoles and he was considered the crucial driver behind the focus on easy-to-use consoles, a move that allowed the company to tap into a much wider audience beyond the traditional gaming community.

"Mr Iwata was a titan - he certainly will be missed," Marc Einstein, head of digital media at Frost & Sullivan in Tokyo, told the BBC.

"He was very much known for being a gamer first and a [chief executive] second - a game changing figure."

Tributes have been coming in on social media with the team at PlayStation tweeting: "Thank you for everything, Mr. Iwata."

‏One user @BrandonNobbs tweeted: "Nintendo might not be the most profitable company, but it's always made games with a heart. #ThankYouIwata #Nintendo."

His death comes as Nintendo expects to double its annual operating profit based on the long-awaited entry in the rapidly growing smartphone gaming sector to counter weakening sales of its traditional consoles.

"Nintendo is really at a cross roads," Mr Einstein told the BBC. "They were the last company that for a very long time were clinging to the hardware business model of their consoles."

In March this year, Nintendo announced a deal with mobile gaming company DeNA to start their foray into mobile gaming.

"The successor will most likely be someone internal and it will be crucial whether it will be someone who is serious about that step into mobile gaming."

Seberapa Jauh Angeline Berjalan Kaki ke Sekolah?

Anak muda...Angeline semasa hidupnya berjalan kaki untuk mencapai sekolahnya di SD 12 Sanur Bali. Menurut kepala sekolahnya gadis delapan tahun itu sering terlambat masuk sekolah akibat harus berjalan 1 Km bila memotong sawah atau 2 Km bila menyusuri jalan raya. Dengan bantuan Google Maps kita akan mencari tahu rute perjalanan Angeline.

Kediaman Angeline di Jl. Sedap Malap No. 18 Denpasar bisa dengan mudah di temukan dengan menggunakan Gmaps. Akan tetapi sekolahnya yang berlamatkan di Gang Nuri I tersebut tidak terlacak di Gmaps.

Beruntung sebuah akun Facebook menyertakan peta lokasi sekolah meskipun tidak terlalu detail tapi berguna untuk penetapan lokasi di Gmaps.

Dengan memasukkan kedua data lokasi tersebut ke Gmaps maka dapat kita ketahui bahwa Angeline berjalan kaki 3,7 Km bila melewati jalan raya.

Sedangkan bila memotong lewat sawah maka diperkirakan jarak yang harus ditempuh oleh Angeline adalah 2,9 Km!
