Text Box: CALL FOR PROPOSALS (Fund by the European Commission) The ongoing outbreaks of H5N1 Avian Influenza in Indonesia have had a significant impact. Since August 2003, more than 10 million livestock have been affected and the H5N1 virus has crossed the species barrier resulting in at least 135 confirmed human cases with 110 deaths. Moreover, the potential exists for the H5N1 Avian Influenza virus to trigger a human pandemic. Research on clinical disease, virology and epidemiology of H5N1 in Indonesia is needed to understand the ecology and variability in transmission to human. To foster essential research, WHO requests for proposal that will then be evaluated through a review process. The awards will then be made to compentent researchers and institutions focused on research of local scientists and public health professionals. Areas for research include: 1. Studies of disease ecology, transmission, and epidemiology. 2. Studies of clinical spectrum and management of disease. Detailed information of call for proposal, include: application and assessment process, assessment criteria and deadline of proposal submission, is attached and available at WHO Indonesia Country Office Website.

Elements of the Announcement
Found/Not Found
Details
Opening
Found
An opening that catches the readers eye on what content it is
Contents
Found
The contents are explained very thoroughly about the virus  H5N1 Avian Influenza and its affect it also explains its needs very directly which is a good thing for an announcement
Closing
Found
The closing statement is not as good as the opening or contentas it told us to  visit a website but there is no link for the website although it is mentioned in the “adapted:www…..”
That itself is not a part of the announcement itself as it is a proof on where the maker of this exercise gets its materials.

Contents
Found
Thoroughly explained however I do not think that you can use the word “Same” for additional information as its forces the reader to actually analyze it deeply and goes away with the purpose of announcement itself which is to directly explain an information as best and as simply as possible
Closing
Found
Described with the phone number:089922376549837
And the website

which I think is good enough as its stated its information in a direct approach.

It allows the administrative aspect of our business to be conducted in regional locations.

Aspiration Day

Aspiration day is an annual event that is held for students to deliver their thoughts on school, critics,etc. Sadly, tho I didn't attend this year's aspiration day due to problems with my scheduling. First problem is that we were told only the day before that aspiration is going to be on Friday, and I already had an appointment for my Japanese tutor.  The second problem is that I was also very tired, I know that this should not be an excused. However, before the event all students had a swimming class. For the boys, it was after the Friday prayer and the event is supposed to start at 2 so of course I was very tired, not only that the morning before that I had a jogging test. All of the tests werw traightforward, you just have to run and swim with front crawl style however since we have to do it repetitively it completely drained my energy.  Thinking about Japanese class, and why I chose to have one is because for most of the part I am very insterested to study in Japan espec

Me

     Hello there! My name is Dwika. I am a student from 3 High School Bandung. You know, when I think about making a bio or an in-depth look at myself. I feel that it is a bit unsafe. To me, putting your general information or a detailed information about yourself can pose a big threat to yourself. I fear that this is one of the ways bad people get closed information about yourself.    But the more i think about it, the reason on why people are willingly open about their personal information, is because so that other people from all over the world can take the personal meaning behind your story so that, it would have a positive impact on their lives which in the end could inspire them to do better things. So without further to do lets talk about myself.    I was born in a tiny city just east out of Jakarta, Indonesia. That city is Bandung. To be specific I was born on the month of June, the date 15, and the year 2002. So as I am writing this I am still 15 years old. I don't

San Francisco Video

My Favorite Place San Francisco       San Francisco has been one of my favorite place since I was at the age of 10 years old. It's a dream for me to not only go there but to also work there with my dream job which is as a programmer. I always dream on working in huge companies such as Google, Facebook,  Twitter, Skype, etc. The fact is, it is really hard to be able to work there.         But anyways here is a video of me showcasing one of my favorite city in the world. I hope you enjoyed it. I am sorry if there are any technical mistakes in the process of making this video and in the video itself mind my English too because I was really nervous when making this video. Thank you! https://goo.gl/aKktwG Music by Joakim Karud Lullabies  Best Regards, Dwika
