Cassava and boy Million Trust

• Book title: Si Chairul Tanjung Child Cassava • Author: Tjahja Gunawan Diredja • Publisher: Publisher • Print: Compass Book VI, August 2012 • thickness: xvi + 384 pages • ISBN: 978-979-709-650-2

In the 2000s, shortly after the conglomerate long been patient Indonesian bank restructuring agency, appeared a number of names new entrepreneurs. Chairul Tanjung is one of them.

Her inimitable blend of business conglomerates that public interest was reinforced in the financial sector, industry, property or a portion of the estate, and of course the mass media. The new conglomerate that wants to get a foothold in the world of entertainment or media, accompanied the emergence of a new middle-class domestic.

Scramble or place established themselves as media people are very thankful for, especially if it gets a nickname as the press, even some crossing into the world of politics with different motivations.

It is not surprising if there are allegations, the new conglomerate post-war new order was spearheaded by longtime players who need a "confidant" to roll back its assets that cannot be bought back from the Indonesian bank restructuring agency. However, reading the biography of Chairul Tanjung (CT), we will not find an answer that even though gunjingan will always be heard.

CT take Mega Bank (1995) "top offer" senior official of Bank Indonesia and Bapindo through the process of due diligence, long before the conglomerate roll mat (1997). However, it is true, as said in the introduction, Jakob Oetama CT capital is trustworthiness. And, it is in fact a big capital, a leader of a major entrepreneurial capital.

Good luck, unseen treasures

CT is believed to interest entrepreneur, market, and favored the President. Throughout this book we presented the small steps that make CT magnet. Once again is not the money, but rather the capital trust. For those who see the money as a constraint in berwirausaha will not believe how a "child cassava" who lived in the alley, and the usual desultory-walled "hanging out" in the latrines, zinc-roofed attended UI had no money, could become scholars and bankers are taken into account. Surely, they thought, there is another hand that borrow it.

A wise man said it's not because of luck, but because of the fengsuinya preparation of strong self met with opportunity. CT reading opportunity since becoming popular in Salemba campus kid 's. While other students are busy in college and photocopying diktat, he thus saw the gap between the cost of photocopying and print them in the form of stensilan at printing time JUNIOR HIGH school friend of his in the Senen area. Big difference. He was ready to come, take risks, and offer cheaper rates. Believed to have been on campus makes it believed the business world bit by bit.

From photocopying to medical tools, then buying and selling used cars, a petty contractor, and learned to deal with adversity. When bankrupt, instead of like eggs that broke out, he was quite the membal back like a tennis ball. Isn't God gives us trouble so we think? Like a driver who expose themselves to the risk, he doesn't want to be passengers who idly behind. He claimed to have always invited bids to go into business-new business and he wants to do it. If we're in the school of dentistry, most likely the wife would say, "Doing so skipper shoes? Kan, mas doctor? "

So he offered the people of Taiwan make shoes though would only pass the factory slippers, he continues to expose difficult to enter. From there he can trust, combining expertise in the industry and property. From dealing with banks as the debtor until it becomes the owner of the bank and into the world of television. Spiritually we can trust prayerful mother who accompanies a person's luck. Almost all the leaders and businessmen in his biography always call MOM. Strange, Yes, not Mr. kok?

However, in entrepreneurship, the luck of someone only occur if both of the above are met: being able to read the gap (opportunity) and prepare. Never mind the entrepreneurial, a presidential candidate must be able to read just the opportunity as well as scientists should be able to see what gaps have been researched and are still a problem. However, it is capable of reading alone does not make you lucky man. Human beings should move, mengeksplorasinya, which means to do preparations until he visited by opportunity-the chance is greater. However, who can be invited if there is no trust?

The accumulation of all of this is in fact an invisible treasure-treasure (intangible) makes a big businessman Warren Buffet, as well as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, and became the capital for Ir Ciputra, TP, Grace and Peter Sondakh. In my opinion, the ability to manage human treasure treasure-look here (knowledge, belief, fighting power, information, learning, and ethics) be explored in the world still less schooling us.

Ability to manage a treasure that appears to be known as the life skills and make Japan, United Kingdom, Germany, United States, and Singapore as a formidable nation. Will the case he got it from CT, the journey of life.

Child singkongnya?

The biography was made with simple language, with chapters written by short-short, away from jargon-business jargon. However, as I said in the preamble, there is still a lot to be told CT, especially in "trust" given the old players, at least how he distinguished himself with them and established as an entrepreneur in a new era of more grounded good governance. Reflection proximity with the Lord should be also described that young entrepreneurs are able to take consideration of the Cook.

Although the generation of very familiar with CT child cassava, there's nothing in this book that reviews explains why he claims to be the son of cassava. In the book are also found several reviews that impressed many cut so the question arises, why should be presented if the information just a potluck? Also encountered turmoil between writing an autobiography (describes "I") and a biography written by someone else based on the results of research (p. 165).

However, if we can isolate certain parts, this book is important to instill the spirit of entrepreneurship. How to make scholars as a lucky man who not only became public at the foot of the five players over the years competed with commoners and always meributkan constraint.

DENPASAR, KOMPAS.com — painter Nyoman Erawan, Bali, rely on painting nude in berobyek painting exhibition at Ubud, Gianyar Regency, Bali, to reveal that nakedness is included in moral values.

"Body in a veil of consciousness soul craved values the merit and notability," said alumnus Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI) Yogyakarta in Denpasar, Monday.

In the solo exhibition which took place on 26 August to 25 September 2012, featuring 50 works on canvas Erawan, 50 sketches, and the seven works of installation.

Nyoman Erawan reveals that he took the decision to display the image of the face and the body itself in the abstract paintings from the last three years.

Erawan explains that the Upanishad has pointed out where, or how, in fact, the soul dwells in the body of the human self.

"He is the soul of the most perfect or Purusha, the smallest, but mastered the knowledge, who is hiding in the hearts and minds. Those who know it to be lasting, "he said.

Perfect soul is "jiwatman" who is aware of the situation as the deepest meaning of atman that moksha is release and an understanding of the law decree phunarbhawa (reincarnation) for ever.

Thus, the soul back to occupy the place of origin and the purpose of a true and lasting. In order to achieve moksha salvation, a person charged with seeking and enforcing road safety in life.

That effort can be done with purify the soul of bond deeds (karma) and a trick containing virtual properties as darkness (awidya).

He added, it was able to arouse canvas works of mankind to be able to cleanse themselves in living the life.

Bergesernya Behavior Of Ramadan

Ali Mustafa Yaqub

One of the Islamic prophet Muhammad's behavior was very prominent during the month of Ramadan is a kedermaannya attitude is very high. Companions of the Prophet, Abdullah bin Abbas, speak, "If come the month of Ramadan, the Prophet's very generous like a breeze that blew."

Prophet Muhammad the benefactor on moons in addition to Ramadhan and very generous in Ramadan. Very generous this gesture, although it was already a Muslim community of past behavior, it seems that there has been a shift to the Muslims of today. Promotion of consumerism and fierce konsumtivisme which conducted vigorous long before Ramadan coming, while and after Ramadan, has changed the behavior of Muslims during Ramadan so the consumerist. This phenomenon has attracted a sociologist from the University of Oxford, Walter, who in 2004 Armburst doing research about it.

He concludes, Ramadan has become an event that can be used for the purpose of a multipurpose. Ramadan into something which, Furthermore, can be used for a different agenda: from selling products, stimulate production, to promote political stance. The world class marketers long ago marked the arrival of Ramadan as the most important business period.

In this month's Muslims cannot eat and drink all day, but incredibly significant increases food consumption (Indonesia Consumers, 2004; Zainal A Hidayat, Compass, 3/10/2006). Places such as shopping malls and supermarkets but also very crowded visitors during Ramadan. Consumptive behavior of Muslims also triggered the promotion of products and services that are packaged with the Pack of worship. Refer to, for example, packages of Ramadan so that Muslims ' umrah jorjoran berumrah Ramadan.

Consumerist-egotistical

In 2009 it was reported that Muslims perform umrah Ramadan reached 3.6 million people. If this news is true, the number of Muslims who perform ' umrah in Ramadaan is more than the number of those who perform the Hajj. If everyone is spending money on average 2,000 US dollars (approximately USD 18 million), will be accumulated 7.2 billion US dollars issued by Muslims to act is not mandatory and never exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad. If that amount is added to the results of a Research Institute in Damascus, Syria, which States each year Muslims issued 5 billion u.s. dollar funds to make Hajj, then that amount be 12.2 billion u.s. dollars. Whereas, in the same State of Muslims in General were derailed.

Note, for example, Muslims in Palestine, Somalia, Burma/Myanmar, even in Indonesia alone. If the following indicators of the World Bank stated that poor people are the ones that his earnings a day fewer than 2 US dollars, the number of poor people in Indonesia's Muslim majority it reaches 117 million people.

Behavior of Ramadan Muslims Indonesia seems to have shifted from benefactors and berinfak behavior, such as those exemplified the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and consumer behavior becomes the egotistical precisely prohibited by Islam and contrary to the teachings of Ramadhan itself. In the past year, the first night of Ramadan, Istiqlal mosque obtain funds from infak (charity box) tromol Tarawih Rp 23 million, while this year the first night of Ramadan Istiqlal mosque obtain funds infak Tarawih Rp 4 million. While in the great mosque of Sunda Kelapa, if last year the first night of Ramadan Tarawih tromol accumulated USD $ 19 million this year, $ 16 million.

Although the two mosques in the capital of this has yet to be made barometer decreased infak behavior of Muslims, those symptoms should Indonesia become an afterthought. So, our behavior turns out to be more and more away from the guidance that exemplified the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Indonesia Muslims seems to require an actual example from the leaders in all layers so that it is able to play back tapes infak Prophet Muhammad's behavior, not the leader that only clever tongue bersilat.

Taring Padi is Stubborn

Aryo Wisanggeni G

Aris Prabawa and Budi Santoso, two artists who menapasi and tasted Taring Padi community of creative work, deploying joint exhibition at Taman Ismail Marzuki, Jakarta 2-11 August. Their creamy Aroma Taring Padi was featured on the work of those who continue to bear the various political problems and social issues. They are stubborn.

"Stubborn is an intimate phrase linking Aris ' Prabawa and Manyul ' Budi Santoso," wrote Alexander Supartono in the preface to the curator of the exhibition catalog Aris and Budi entitled Look there.

There are harsher than their kekeras-kepalaan, i.e. the works of those who bring bitterness of reality of our social and political life. Two recent work "Monument Budi Santoso, Indonesia is now 1" and "2" Now Indonesia Monuments for example, spicy.

Who ever pays attention to West Irian Liberation statue in the grounds of a bull remember surely Jakarta artists Edhi Sunarso symbolises the "non-free Irian Barat" with a man standing stretch, so strong the hands and feet of the man that was, until putuslah Binder chains her arms and legs.

Making a play on "Bob" statue with a bronze statue of Edhi 32 x 10 x 50 cm. sculpture Forms the males, as well as two pillars supporting a bronze statue titled "monument to Indonesia Now 2", that was exactly the original statue. The difference is, the chains binding the hands and feet of the man in the "monument of Indonesia is now 2" intact, not breaking up and stay membelenggu.

His other works, "monument to Indonesia Now 1", a play on the Aerospace in Pancoran statue monument, Jakarta, also by Edhi Sunarso. Make a "clone" of payback in the form of a bronze statue of 8 x 17 x 49 centimeters. If hand sculpted Monument Aerospace works reaching the sky, gallant Edhi sculpture "monument to Indonesia Now 1" by Bob sat hugging his knees buckled on the curved pillars. Of course, it's not two works of Budi was making fun of Edhi Sunarso.

The stroke of a ballpoint pen drawings gave rise to various side Aris militarism, something which has since responded with some of his old Aris. Pictures such as "safe" Pack (2011), "Baktiku you" (2011), or "Bi function" explore the issues that became a classic because it was never resolved.

Aris even suing inferior mentality that civil society had mendewa-dewakan through his military and militarism "Dependence" (2011). Thick and thin stripes-Ksenia that is so smooth to form figure dog burly uniformed which crumple up relax. The distinctive black dog ngelesot comfortable, letting him suckle four humans. In fact, civil society we are indeed still easily fascinated with everything what smells "a musketeer", "uniform", "Star", and "keperwiraan".

"Militarism has always been interesting to me because it touches on various aspects of the life of civil society. Wherever, always raises the question of military for democracy, with various shapes and landscape issues, "said Aris about various things about the konsistensinya respond to militarism.

Two of the few

Alexander Supartono in the Catalog View There called Aris and Budi as "two of the little" art workers who faithfully renders political and social realism as the theme of their work. According to Supartono, "Not many individuals ever and still active in the Taring Padi, which was originally based on fine art, who managed to establish themselves in the formal art scene. From the little that, fewer else continues to develop traditions of visual and thematic Taring Padi, "wrote Supartono.

Cultural institutions Populist Taring Padi, community art link Aris Manyul and Budi, was founded on December 21, 1998 at the legal aid Institute Office page. Arts community that democratic populist prosperous mencita-citakan a socially and ecologically, as well as independent in berkebudayaan.

Choice brings realism to make social and political themes of the aktivisnya presents works that are almost always setema though flavour of aesthetic could be not same. That choice also ushers in the perupanya, including Aris and Budi, always responding to the situation of social communities around them.

Bob lives in Yogyakarta in contact with the community of Kulon Progo struggling defending their land rights would be iron sand mining. "Of them, I gave birth to various works about them. Citizens even asked, ' city of Yogyakarta artists, where other artists? ' "said Budi.

Budi and Aris laugh anyway as "stubborn" from Supartono. "This is a selection of our work, the choice of road alignments. I was never allergic berpameran in the Gallery of luxury, but do hope the Gallery could set how I work. We never create works of sweet, and will never, "said Budi.

Bedaya Build Charisma King

Thomas Pudjo Widijanto

Illustration exhibition material and Christopher Vecchio Bedaya at Bentara Budaya Yogyakarta indeed impressed. Hardly uniform. About twenty works, all women in the position of dancing in a variety of forms of motion.

However, the women were playing a variety of attitudes and classic Javanese dance motion named Bedaya and Christopher Vecchio. On exhibit 6-12 August 2012, 20 illustrations representing 20 dance works Bedaya and Christopher Vecchio created Tyra de Kleen, painter-born women who worked in Sweden, the Netherlands East Indies around the 1920s prompting.

There is no dance Christopher Vecchio Menjangan Ronggah, Christopher Vecchio Sekar Suwun, Christopher Vecchio Bedaya, Ngancap, Manah, Ukel Bedaya Tanjak Bedaya, and so on. The whole dance it to complete the illustration of books about the Bedaya and Christopher Vecchio ditiulis Beata Anna van Helsdingen 1925 entitled Het Boek Christopher Vecchio.

This exhibition indirectly does like to talk about the history of dance and Christopher Vecchio Bedaya, dance works which originally came from within the Palace of Surakarta and Yogyakarta and then spread to all walks of society at large. The possibility of 20 works of dance in the illustration were partly extinct, there is no current generation who recognize it again.

Therefore, this exhibition became an important activity, especially associated with the current culture activities whether it's an exhibition or show always berimpitan with what commercial name. This exhibition presents a step, concern that eventually became a form of cultural activities which had an important meaning in the realm of Javanese culture.

"Search for author or illustration of dance-dance and not issue Christopher Vecchio Bedaya easy. Searches that we do just find three people and all of them Westerners, "said Hermanu from Bentara Budaya Yogyakarta, initiator of this exhibition.

Here's the irony that accompanies this actor, had no Western writers who are researching about Christopher Vecchio and behold we have Bedaya, lost track of. In fact, the dance and the all Christopher Vecchio Bedaya culprit women by Beata Anna van Helsdingen, author of the book Christopher Vecchio Boeken, Het was a struggle for women's rights Indonesia.

"I will give you an insight into a woman's rights in the land of Netherlands Indies (Indonesia). You may be immediately recognized and respects women emancipation through writings of mine and You will probably agree with me, "said Danilo Ana in quote exhibition catalog.

The Story Of

Dance classics, especially dance, dance is the Bedaya considered sacred created the King tempo Java first. Bedaya is the meaning of gratitude. Therefore, almost all dance talks about symbolic message Bedaya that boils down to build your manners. As expressed great teachers majoring in Dance Indonesia Art Institute (ISI) Yogyakarta, Y Sumandiyo Hadi, dance is arguably a symbolic work Bedaya describing the process or even ride a King's reign, especially in the Kingdom of Mataram Islam.

Hailed as a symbolic work, according to Sumandiyo, in the Yogyakarta Palace, for example, since Hamengku Buwono I until Sultan Hamengku Buwono X has always invented dance, which tend to Bedaya relating to institutional Palace, message content, and influence for the dance community. Arguably, what is expressed Sumandiyo, is the efforts of King bedaya build his image.

Dance is the most recent work of Bedaya Sultan Hamengku Buwono X entitled "The Amurwobumi", which was coined around 1990. With this work, Sumandiyo was shocked, because "The Amurwobumi" is another name of Ken Arok, controversial figure with premanismenya properties. However, the departure of Ken Arok, "Bedaya Amurwobumi" wanted to give teachings about humanity.

Dance till now the Bedaya Ketawang sacred dances for Keraton Surakarta and Yogyakarta Kingdom. This is a magical dance until now believed to invented Sultan Agung (1591-1645) and Nyi Roro Kidul, imaginary figures as Queen Of the South Sea.

Penetrate The Limits With Keith Jarret

Dwiki Dharmawan

The composition of "Stella by Starlight" initiated the appearance of Keith Jarret with Gary Peacock and Jack De Johnette on Wiener Konzerthaus, Austria, 8 July. This concert is part of the Jazz Fest Wien 2012. Lulled audiences, even to a song by Victor Young had ended.

Keith Jarret not only play music, but it also brings us drift. Together the trio had played together about 25 years it continued to siphon off energy, Jarret indefinitely through composition "G Blues", "I Thought About You", and "Autumn Leaves".

Banned cough

Flying with jet specially provided by the Committee on the same day of his holiday home in Nice, France, Keith Jarret is one of the very few jazz star who always enjoy facilities thanks to the struggles of VVIP class and trip length of MPB. Pianist and composer born in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in 1945, who began his career with Art Blakey, Charles Lloyd and Miles Davis in the 1990s had should rest length due to diseases of the bone behind it prolonged.

After his condition improved, Jarret back performing solo piano and then go back on tour and playing with Peacock and again the trio De Johnette. Earlier, in the 1970s, Jarret lead formation "European Quartet" and recorded several albums under the label ECM. Jan Garbarek Quartet is supported (saxophonist), Palle Danielsson (bass player), and Jon Christensen (drums).

The 2003 Vienna International Jazz Festival (Jazz Fest Wien) in 2012 to coincide with the time the host Football European Championship 2012. However, it is not shattered our interest fans of jazz in Vienna and throughout Europe to rush every concert held last witnessed in several places in the city of Vienna, Austria, June 25-July 9, 2012. Keith Jarret Trio concert is the eagerly awaited jazz fans. I am very fortunate to have the honor to be invited by the organizers of Jazz Fest Wien since afternoon recently participated along with several musicians appeared from Austria in Ratthaus (The Town Hall) in the 2003 jazz Viena.

Before the concert started, the host announced that the audience is not recording, photographing, and go for a walk during a show in progress. Amusingly enough, viewers are prohibited from also announced a cough. I so thought the story of Fritz Thom, Director of the Jazz Fest Wien, which tells, in 2007 had occurred on his personal concert Keith Jarret Trio at the Umbria Jazz Festival, Italy. The story, in the middle of the show, Keith Jarret was furious when there's a photographer take a picture and sound very disturbed him his camera so he took out the words that are not in place to the public. As a result, since that time, the organizers of Umbria Jazz Festival pledge would never invite Keith Jarret again.

Trumpeted and dancing

One hallmark of Keith Jarret while playing the piano is a loud vocalization, humming and trumpeted in rhythm games hard enough with its fingers on the piano, but with a tone that is not so obvious, irregular such as scat singing. This style is actually always done some of his predecessors, such as Thelonious Monk, Errol Garner, Willie Smith, and Cecil Taylor. However, not only that, also sometimes stand Jarret and play while dancing around the piano and it animates the game when his rendition of "I'm a Fool to Love You", "I've got a Crush on You", and "The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea". Before a pause without words, Jarret, Peacock, and De Johnette salute that greeted Pat long onlookers.

The pause time 30 minutes the audience an opportunity to simply drink, to the toilet, and berbatuk ria, knowing almost 1 hour should all hold sneezes and coughs. Album-album CD Keith Jarret bestselling diborong ranging from solo piano Concert album, Jarret Galten/Peacock/De Johnette Setting Standards New York Sessions, The Melody at Night, with You and Up for It during the halftime show. to begin, sit in a Chair long Jarret piano and yet want to play its fingers on the piano until the audience is completely silent.

Then mengalunlah "I'm Gonna Laugh You Right Out of My Life", followed by "It is Really the Same", and "Once upon a Time". Once tasted, improvisation, harmony, and rhythm are built with Gary Peacock and Jack De Johnette which so penetrates boundaries. Indeed, the legendary jazz musicians they've really reached the predicate "great teacher". In fact, the audience is not so noticed that the bass player, Gary Peacock, actually appeared on stage with the use of hearing aids (hearing aid).

The concert concludes with a number of "God Bless The Child" that makes the audience giving standing ovation for so long. It is fortunate, Keith Jarret is also located in a very good mood that he gave up encore twice. I came home and out of the Wiener Konzerthaus with the feeling of hovering while searching the streets in downtown Vienna on a warm summer.
