The role of Indonesia’s reformist finance minister, Sri Mulyani Indrawati, in the bailout of a small bank will be debated by parliament on Wednesday following months of hearings by a committee.

A committee probing the 2008 bailout of Bank Century on Tuesday handed two conflicting recommendations to parliament. One found the bailout was justified, the other called for a criminal investigation into Indrawati and Vice President Boediono.
Here are five facts about Indrawati:
* Indrawati, 47, ranks among the most powerful women in the region and is one of the few Indonesian policymakers with an international profile.
* As finance minister, she has cleaned up the corrupt tax and customs departments by introducing more transparent practices, firing those caught taking bribes, and even springing surprise raids on staff to keep them honest.
Her policy of increasing tax collection to boost state revenues has earned her many enemies among the business elite who are now under pressure to pay up — particularly after the tax office published a list of the 100 top tax dodgers which included a coal firm controlled by tycoon and politician Aburizal Bakrie.
* During her time as finance minister, Southeast Asa’s largest economy has become a member of the Group of 20 leading economies and is one of the fastest growing ones in the region, partly thanks to the combination of sound economic policies and a more stable political situation.
Fitch upgraded Indonesia’s sovereign credit rating to one notch below investment grade in January. It is expected to achieve the coveted investment grade within a couple of years and join Brazil, Russia, India and China — the BRICs — as a member of the emerging market elite.
* On the downside, she has been less successful in going after some of the Suharto-era figures facing accusations of corruption, and has met resistance from less reform-minded cabinet colleagues and coalition politicians, particularly Bakrie, the tycoon who heads the Golkar Party.
Her decision to rescue Bank Century in 2008 in order to avert a wider financial crisis was the subject of a highly politicised parliamentary inquiry that has now handed its recommendations to the house of parliament.
* She got her doctorate in economics from the University of Illinois, lectured at Georgia University on Indonesia’s economy, and was an executive director of the International Monetary Fund representing 12 economies in Southeast Asia from 2002-2004.

Duisburg. Many students are happy when they formulas and variables after school to get rid of are. Ibrahim Handoko contrast, has developed its own terms. His ideas presented to the 15-year-old on Thursday at the “Young Scientist” regional competition in Duisburg.

Taking care of the younger sister and her math homework, not just one of the favorite pastimes of a 15-year-olds. But Ibrahim Handoko owe this unpleasant task, the idea with which he now participates in the “Young Scientists”. His sister, eight-year number needed to solve the walls. Normally, this works like this: If you add up the numbers of neighboring stones, they give the number of the stone, which lies above them. The aim is to find the right number of the last stone on the number pyramid. To come now to the number at the top of the wall – and more free time – have replaced the high school student, the values in the wall with letters and developed a formula. “For me it’s now easier to control,” said Ibrahim, finally, he must not consider any intermediate result.
As in mathematics teaching Pascal’s triangle was on the curriculum, recognized the parallels and regularities and Duisburg further generalized his formula. Not only that, the expected 15-year-old who likes not only coefficients, but also karate further: In addition to the formula for the sum he set up the other for the three basic operations and was also sets rules for special cases such as square and concerted following figures. After class, put the 15-year-old every now and then in front of his arithmetic book, and gradually he developed the terms. “I was relieved when I finally solved the problem,” says the reticent boy, the ninth class of the Gymnasium Landfermann visited his success. With his formula can not only solve simple numerical walls of his sister, Ibrahim’s rule is applicable to all tasks of this type with any number of stones. This saves computational steps and time.
Elementary formulas developed
“It is exceptional that a student in his spare time with fancy deals with mathematics, but it happens”, says Michael Wallau, Ibrahim mathematics teacher and project supervisor. The 55-year-olds are particularly pleased that it has succeeded in high school, completely independent to set up a basic formula. Because even though pages and pages of computation paths impressive work: “The shortest formulas are the best.” And in fact, Ibrahim’s term is so short that it fits on one line on the blackboard. That his students have found the formulas that owe to his previous knowledge, his Entdeckerdrang, but also a little to chance. That the equation can be applied only on the number of walls does not reduce, the discovery Wallau said: “Science is dedicated to many things to understand them, do not necessarily apply to them.”
Even Ibrahim, with baseball cap and baggy pants does not fit into common stereotypes mathematician, does not care. “One must not always think of the economy, about the money.” So it is that he did not even know that beckon even with “Young Scientist” prize money. That mathematics for many of the unpopular subjects, may Ibrahim, who can imagine studying medicine does not understand: “You can be in almost any situation Mathematics.” Even the baker would eventually be able to calculate how much flour, water and sugar he needs. When his classmates, his discoveries are good. When he introduced his class some of his formulas, he won praise.
35 projects in science and technical subjects
A total of 70 participants will be on Thursday at the regional competition in Duisburg 35 projects in the areas of work, biology, chemistry, geosciences and imagine space sciences, mathematics / computer science, physics and engineering. The younger ones participate in the competition experiment students have participated. The 15 – to 21-year-olds, many of them student who hope to participate in the “Young Scientist” – state competition. They present including LED Safety helmets, trying to predict the growth of plants, or find a Chillischärfemessmaschine just how sharply food. How many participants make progress, judged by a panel of teachers, university professors and experts from companies.
Mathematikass Ibrahim is a bit nervous before the competition. “That, what I did is fairly easy to understand, there are more exciting experiments, such as in chemistry,” he muses. Even if he only needs a pen and paper to present his idea, he wants to present to the jury in the ThyssenKrupp Education as attractive as possible. “I hope that I win, but it need not be necessarily,” says Ibrahim modest. But once a researcher at the “Youth” to be there, means the 15-year-olds with Indonesian passport deal. “I want to show that there are foreigners who are interested in the society.” And he was conducting research on “youth” are still stuck, Ibrahim has yet another iron in the fire. On Saturday, he took part as the best freshmen in the state competition in Duisburg in mathematics Olympiad in Neuss.

The word “batik” is Indonesian in origin, even if the concept was known by Egyptians and Indians. It is known to be more than a millenium old, and there are evidences that cloth decorated through some form of resist technique was in use in the early centuries AD in several West African, Middle-Eastern and Asian communities.

The word Batik is originally an Idonesian-Malay word and means to dot .This art of textile is spread in the hindu and malay world, but Indonesia is certainly the heart of the Batik.This way of painting and coloring textile has reached its higher degree of excellence in the Island of Java , in cities like Solo, Yogyakarta, Pekalongan or Cirebon. From Java this ‘batik’ cloth was exported to other islands of the archipelago and to the Malay peninsula.
On the 17th century, the Javanese sultanate of Mataram accorded important ceremonial functions to the Batik clothes. Sultan Agung of Mataram is known to have dressed in white cotton decorated with Indigo blue, and his court dancers wore kain kembangan colored with a red organic dye.

Although the process of decorating cloth through the process of batik is found in several regions in Africa or India and even in some South East Asian countries, the batik of Indonesia is unique and unequaled. Indonesian Batik is made in several regions, but the center of the art is Central Java, in cities like Yogyakarta, Solo, Cirebon, Pekalongan and Indramayu.

The pride of Indonesians to wear batik till the present day has preserve this art of textile.
The beauty of Batik is a tribute to the patience, creativity of the woman of Java, the main island of Indonesia. Credit should be also given to men who prepare the cloth and handle the dyeing and finishing process.

Batik is generally thought of as the most quintessentially Indonesian textile. Motifs of flowers, twinning plants, leaves buds, flowers, birds, butterflies, fish, insects and geometric forms are rich in symbolic association and variety; there are about three thousand recorded batik patterns.
