Book : Integrated Management of Cocoa Diseases

Working with lectures from other study program has been really a new experience for me. I mean, it's great to learn something new and what most important is I can put all my experiences, especially in my field, to this project.

This project is entitled "Integrated Management of Cocoa Pod Borer (Conopomorpha cramerella) and Black Pod (Phytophthora palmivora) for Cocoa Plants in the District of Sarmi". As reports to the District of Sarmi, we've written a book, booklet, brochure, posters, and video. This reports then will be delivered to the people of Sarmi.

My job was as editor and designer. I created design and layout for the printed material and create the documentation video during field observation.

UNIPA's Graduation Day

The State University of Papua or what usually called UNIPA just had a graduation day. On that day, there are 213 students graduated. 8 of them are cumlaude.

Unfortunately, this time I can't go in because my father wasn't there. He went out of town for a meeting with several staff. Besides, I know it's gonna be boring. But there is one thing different which is now we put a huge screen in front of the podium, so when the students came up to receive their diploma all of the audiences could see their pictures online. For me, that's really interesting and very exciting coz we never made it before.

What made it special was my sister also graduated (well, she's my cousin actually). She really push herself very hard so she could get to this day and I'm very proud of her. I hope she can be a lecturer after this, based on the fact that she has already been assistant in her study program. I know she can make it.

Marketiva : One Type of Foreign Exchange


Let me introduce you to one of the best forex (foreign exchange) broker in the world (as far as I know).

Marketiva is a financial services corporation specialized in providing traders with high quality online trading services. With this system you can place trade, close trade, and monitor each trading point for every major currency (EUR, USD, AUS, GBP, JPY, CHF, NZD, and CAD). Therefore, you can see in a real time the movement of each currency and see whether you make profits or not.

From my experiences,
I started with $5 US and after 2 months I got $37 US and now it keeps raising and raising. Hopefully, at the end of the year, I could get $500 US. Well, I'm still trying.

If you're afraid to do this, because there's a huge risk (no doubt about it), you can start with a virtual money which will be given when you open an account. It's about $10000 U
S. By using this money, you can practice and learn more about forex. I'm sure if you're new about this, this is gonna take a lot of time.

To join, you must create an account and you will be given $5 US for live trading and $10000 US for virtual trading. T
here's no submission fee. You can then start using this money to place trade or if it's not enough you can also deposit money to your account. For 24/7, you can also withdraw you money and transfer it to eGold, Wire Transfer, etc..
