Leymah Gbowe
The 2011 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded Friday to Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberian peace activist Leymah Gbowee and democratic activist Tawakkul Karman of Yemen for their work on women's rights, which the prize committee described as fundamental to the spread of peace around the world.
By citing Karman, the committee also appeared to be acknowledging the effects of the Arab Spring, which has challenged authoritarian regimes across the region.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee honored the three women "for their nonviolent struggle for the safety of women and for women's rights to full participation in peace-building work."
"We cannot achieve democracy and lasting peace in the world unless women obtain the same opportunities as men to influence developments at all levels of society," the prize committee said.
Prize committee chairman Thorbjorn Jagland said he hoped the prize would bring more attention to rape and other violence against women as well as women's role in promoting democracy in Africa and the Arab and Muslim world.
Karman is a 32-year-old mother of three who heads the human rights group Women Journalists without Chains. She has been a leading figure in organizing protests against President Ali Abdullah Saleh that kicked off in late January as part of a wave of anti-authoritarian revolts that have convulsed the Arab world.
"I am very very happy about this prize," Karman told The Associated Press. "I give the prize to the youth of revolution in Yemen and the Yemeni people."
Citing the Arab Spring alone could have been problematic for the committee. The unrest toppled authoritarian regimes in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. But Libya descended into civil war that led to NATO military intervention. Egypt and Tunisia are still in turmoil. Hardliners are holding onto power in Yemen and Syria and a Saudi-led force crushed the uprising in Bahrain, leaving an uncertain record for the Arab protest movement.
Jagland said it was difficult to find a leader of the Arab Spring revolts, especially among the many bloggers who played a role in energizing the protests, and noted that Kamran's work started before the Arab uprisings.
"Many years before the revolutions started she stood up against one of the most authoritarian and autocratic regimes in the world," he told reporters.
Johnson Sirleaf, 72, is a Harvard-trained economist who became Africa's first democratically elected female president in 2005.
Liberia was ravaged by civil wars for years until 2003 and is still struggling to maintain a fragile peace with the help of U.N. peacekeepers.
Sirleaf was seen as a reformer and peacemaker in Liberia when she took office. She is running for re-election this month and opponents in the presidential campaign have accused her of buying votes and using government funds to campaign. Her camp denies the charges.
The committee cited Johnson Sirleaf's efforts to secure peace in her country, promote economic and social development and strengthen the position of women.
Jagland said the committee didn't consider the upcoming election in Liberia when it made its decision.
"We cannot look to that domestic consideration," he said. "We have to look at Alfred Nobel's will, which says that the prize should go to the person that has done the most for peace in the world."
Gbowee, who organized a group of Christian and Muslim women to challenge Liberia's warlords, was honored for mobilizing women "across ethnic and religious dividing lines to bring an end to the long war in Liberia, and to ensure women's participation in elections."
In 2009 she won a Profile in Courage Award, an honor named for a 1957 Pulitzer Prize-winning book written by John F. Kennedy, for her work in emboldening women in Liberia.

Everybody had a special memory – a sweet one – of the first time ever in a special occasion in a whole life. Some time come flash in our mind when lay down on bed, alone, watching Television or heard a special, old songs. It is interesting to writing it down, may entertaining you and the readers as well.
All special memories set in chronological order formed the colorful milestones as my Life Journey
I wish to share mine, make me wondered and amused too that it had been happened in my Life. Some of these experiences had been written in somewhere in my Biography book, 2008 edition or in the Blog jingga-senja.blogspot.com separately. Now I want to specify each one in one special topic.
FIRST KISS
When I was in the last year of Junior Economic high school at Sibolga town, North Sumatra, I had a close friend, in the same school in the lower class, a dark skin, shorter then me. When I returned home from high school holiday outside town in 1960, I visit her one early night at her home across the river of my home.
When the time to say good bye, she saw me the way in the dark, till to the edge of the river. Suddenly, I was stunned when my lips touched by hers, just for a second. She was shorter, she had to hold me to reach my mouth. The initiative come from her, not me anyway.
I was shocked when met her again 28 years later in 1988, she was one of our guests when my family had a big traditional banquet at my home across the river. She said :”Did you knew me?”, she said. I just smile.
It was happened in 1960 when I was 17 years of age.

O The Novel OBAMA 2012
Publisher Simon & Schuster does not want any hints pointing to who the author of "O" might or might not be. The only thing that they do reveal is that Anonymous has in fact stood in the same room as President Obama. Which narrows it down to -- oh gee, that's gonna be a big number.
"O" is a novel of the 2012 election. Which, of course, hasn't happened yet. That is a major feature distinguishing it from "Primary Colors," the 1996 book about a presidential campaign written by Anonymous.
"Primary Colors" was a roman-a-clef about Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign, so it promised highlights like media scandals, a tense and ambitious wife, a drunken sibling, and ladies who need to be handled. It reflected one of the most lively campaigns in recollection. It also had something going for it -- Joe Klein, a longtime journalist whose writing came alive in the book.
Can "O" pull off the same excitement? Is a fictional account of a campaign that has not yet happened going to be as amusing as a fictional account of one people remember -- one that will, indeed, begin all too soon?
What's more, can fiction hope to compete with the real thing? Theodore H. White created the gold standard of nonfiction campaign chronicles with "The Making of the President, 1960" in which he looked at candidates, up close, from the campaign's beginning to end. His book about the 1960 campaign was so successful -- it won the Pulitzer Prize and was a bestseller -- that White went on to write "The Making of the President, 1964," "The Making of the President, 1968," "The Making of the President, 1972." These books prove that truth is stranger than fiction: Who would think a man running for president would cry during a press conference -- then, after denying that he had shed tears, quit the Democratic primary race over the incident? Edmund Muskie did -- but can you sell such a crazy story in a novel?
As for Anonymous, it took about six months before Klein admitted he was the one who'd written "Primary Colors." That was in 1996, when the Internet speed was counted in bauds -- now, how long will it take for Anonymous to be revealed?

Developing countries including Indonesia in 2010 got flooding of Foreign Capital inflow not to Direct Investment but buy SBI and SUN. SBI is Sertifikat Bank Indonesia and SUN is Surat Utang Negara (Goverment Bond). SBI issued by Central Bank, Bank Indonesia and SUN issued by the Goverment.
Total foreign funds invest in SBI reach Rp.72,58 trilions or 32,25 % of total SBI value. Similar happened in SUN, reach Rp. 190,2 trilions or 30,12% of total SUN value. If foreign investor withdraw in the same time, we may imagine what would happend...econpmic crisis.
Both instruments are very secure, since back up by the Goverment that will never be bankcrupt with a relatively high rate of interest comparing to USA, Europe and Japan. In USA the rate almost drop down to ZERO. Europe face downturn in economic growth and run austerity program. That is why the funds flowing to the developing countries, including Asia.
Yuan bill
Some countries set a policy to anticipated the negative impact of the Capital inflow. Thailand taxed interest of Foreign who buy Goverment Bond. Latin America country took a similar plicy as well. China who set Yuan rate in steady rate but the inflation rise in Properties and commodities prices. Malaysia Rinngit appreciated 10 % in 2010.
High official of Central Bank and Goverment set a common policy as in a normal cicumtance using 3 old policies, everybody knew. In order to prevent the sudden Outflow below the policies in place:
1. Accumulate Foreidn exghance reserve
2. Set a minimum one month tenor of SBI
3. Switch SBI to Cerificate of Deposit
RecentlyCentral Bank felt confidence with a huge sun of reserve amount US$ 98,7 as a high increasing of industrial products export. The grafic value of export kept constant due to selected kinds of export commodities and selected destination countries as well. Up until October total export reach a very high US$.98,7 million, almost touch 100 million. In August 2010 itself reach US$ 13, 31 million, more than 38% higher than the sama month last yeaar.
Do you believe it.....A lot of technocrat in Central Bank, in Goverment office never think out of Boxes...If something bad happened, they will keep quite and hand off the responsibility. It was happened when economic crisis hit Asia and Indonesia as well.
Hopefully, the economic crisis 2007 never happend again and again as a cosequences of flooding Capital inflow and suddenly withdraw and out of the country.

In front of my office 2010
Before the opening start, I went to the rest room and by accident met a senior instructor, patted my shoulder and said :" You are the best participants and will step forward to accept a special certificates "h he said without any explanation in details. I don't believed in what he just said and don't understand what kind of certificate it was.
After a short speech, MC called my name stepped forward with another one participants to get the certificates handed by Mr.Syahrir Sabirin, Bank Indonesia Governor. He was my class mate in economic, Gajah Mada University, Yogjakarta 1968.
After a short speech, MC called my name stepped forward with another one participants to get the certificates handed by Mr.Syahrir Sabirin, Bank Indonesia Governor. He was my class mate in economic, Gajah Mada University, Yogjakarta 1968.
No one noticed since the beginning, from day one that every instructor or someone assigned to keep notes, scores and evaluation of every lectures, discussions, visits we had made. So the result of the courses represented the real quality of every participants. Few years later, I was the one assigned specicially as an evaluator of the SESPIBANK courses.
Still fresh in my mind that some of the participants approached me said :" Please don't raise a difficult question",they said in unison. They worrisome, if they couln't responsed well and embarashing. But no one aware that the instructors will took a negative records or low points. In no special reasons, in every opportunities I was the one who always raised the questions, either in Indonesia or in Manila as well.
My certificate
Nevertheless, I never though of honor of such certificates, but by that moment I felt a little bit dissappoint. How come I became the 2nd rank. Supposedly I was the best, the champion among 25 Bankers. I said this because Mr.Sutopo, Bank Mandiri main branch manager, should be unqualified, from championship criteria point of view. He didn't joined the class to Manila and didn't get any points either in the Philippines, since his wife fall sicked and hospitalized.
My certificate
Participants @Manila
When the lunch time come, the Governor extended his hand to my managing Director, he pointed to me and said loudly :"He is my friend from Gajah Mada University" with smile. Then I saw his special mark, his right hand had 6 (six)fingers, the tumb had a small finger.
After the course, some of the participants got a promotion became a Board members in their Bank or in a sister companies.Some of the participants graduated in this course got a promotion or posted in strategic positions in State own Bank, private or local development Bank in Indonesia.

Most of the friends, 15 friends, coming from my community in my church, Gereja Kristen Indonesia, central Jakarta remind me where I belong, the place I had been a members for 33 years, since 1987, including 7 years as an elder. a volunteer dedication time and talents.I knew all of them and they knew me well as well. I had a special memory every year, that my anniversary celebrated at the same time with my church, at this time is a 81th.
Interesting comments coming from a friend in Jakarta Church organization, Mr.Nugroho Imam Panuju where I was an Auditor for 4 years, said :"Keep your young soul and never stop serve Him"he said. His images mean that for 4 years in a row he saw me always keep young in spirit in church service, in my senior age.

Among the friends, I had at least 2 who love write the poems regularly almost everyday in Face Book and we exchanged funny comments, support, console, advice each other. We made a collaboration in drafting a poem and also I wrote a short story about each one of them, even never met physically. We had made a close relationship in the net, once by a sad poem who had made a crying a lot and the silly picture just to comfort or make friend laugh out louder, LOL every saw the pic.

In the last chapter of Sulemain's proverbs, the sub title of Nobel Character of a Wife, he set with a very high standard over average of a woman. She should be categorized as a super woman. I noted some criterias such as : She is worth far more than rubies, work with eager hands. She gets up while it is dark, She provides foods for her family, She open her arm to the poor.
In the last verses Suleman concluded that woman charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but woman who fear God to be praised.
It was not easy to find such high standard criteria as Sulaeman - who had 1.000 wifes - . But what he really mean was not the beauty of a woman to be taken to account, but woman who fear God, respect, appreciate, please God. Everybody who fear God will always done the right things and avoid doing the bad thing in life.
In other version we accustom to hear that Fear God is a source of Knowledge and Wisdom. These two rewards - Knowledge to know the good and bad and Wisdom - will be given to whom fear of God. At the end, the people who fear God will result in positive future life.
In the beginning, I confused to understand what is the meaning of the theme "Beautiful wife" in conjunction to Thanks giving services in Mr.Gunawan Situmorang, in their home at Bekasi, west Java, bordered East Jakarta at May 13, 2010. These young couple with 2 small children inaugurated his wife birthday, God's company when he was unemployed for 5 months and new house funding from pension fund of previous job.
The preacher Pdt.Guruh Jatmiko lead the sermon and our choir Sangkakala singing "Ucap syukur" fluently without rehearsal by Elly. They invited around 50 friends and families as well.
We are glad to see these new couple surrender their live, their future to God.
I wasn't realized then, previously, 3 days before this event,I had written a poem concerning the black beautiful of my own grandchild, Antonia Jones, referred to the same verses, Soleman's king wisdom at the last chapter 31, especially a sentence You are more beautiful then rubies as follows:
BLACK BEAUTIFUL
As awesome as your name, Antonia
You are more beauty than rubies
As dark as you are as black as your curly hair
You are unique created
A woman who fears God
A truly beauty inside
You extend your hand to the needy
You speak wisdom and no curse
Yet faithfulness with patience
Smile, joke with you around
Just as the dark of your beauty
From the very beginning
Love you as undonditional
