Recently there's a outbreak of a new disease call Swine Flu, H1N1. So what is Swine Flu?
Definition:
Swine influenza (also called swine flu, hog flu, and pig flu) refers to influenza caused by those strains of influenza virus that usually infect pigs and are called swine influenza virus (SIV).Swine influenza is common in pigs in the midwestern United States (and occasionally in other states), Mexico, Canada, South America, Europe (including the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Italy), Kenya, Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and other parts of eastern Asia.
Transmission of SIV from pigs to humans is not common. When it results in human influenza, it is called zoonotic swine flu. People who work with pigs, especially people with intense exposures, are at risk of catching swine flu. However, only about fifty such transmissions have been recorded since the mid-20th Century, when identification of influenza subtypes became possible. (Importantly, eating pork does not pose a risk of infection.) Rarely, these strains of swine flu can pass from human to human. In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort.
The 2009 flu outbreak in humans that is widely known as "swine flu" is due to a new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 that was produced by reassortment from one strain of human influenza virus, one strain of avian influenza virus, and two separate strains of SIV. The origin of this new strain is unknown, and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) reports that this strain has not been isolated in pigs. It passes with apparent ease from human to human, an ability attributed to an as-yet unidentified mutation. This 2009 H1N1 strain causes the normal symptoms of influenza, such as fever, coughing and headache.

I know that many people are concern about this disease, so I have come out with a RSS reader using popfly to take out news regarding Swine Flu. It's on the right hand column, please do take a look. If you want it at your blog or website, you can also embed it by clicking on the "duck icon" on the top right hand corner of the RSS reader and then click on the link "mashout", a popup box will appear and select the embedded link and copy the code and place it to your website.

The Apprentice
During these past 2-3 weeks, I have been watching the apprentice again from season 1 to 7. "You are fired!", is the best thing in the apprentice where every week there will be at least 1 people will get fired. Off course there are some exception where sometimes, 4 people are fired, or even no people are fired because they are united and work well together which is in season 7, the celebrity apprentice.
The best thing of this show is that there are sure to have at least one pretty lady in each season, that's cool isn't it! You can watch and learn some business tips and also see pretty girls. I think the best season out of all these 7 season should be season 6. That's because the treatment is quite different from other season, where the losing team will need to stay outside the mansion and live inside the tent, whereas the winning team, will live inside the big, beautiful and gorgeous mansion.
I like Frankie and James a lot in that season, because Frankie is quite funny but has the potential to make people motivate to work harder and it's nice to be in the same team as him. On the other hand, James is also hardworking, get all the things done properly, and also he is very energetic. But the very sad thing is that, non of them become Donald Trump apprentice.
Season 7 is quite interesting also, because 14 celebrity have gather for the interview process. Omarosa, is one of the very very troublesome people that I do not really like since season 1. In my mind, "Why did she come back for?". Although i support Tracy as the winner but in the end, Pierce Morgan won. But never mind, this season all the money will donated to the charity. So whoever win is also good.
Waiting for season 8 of the celebrity apprentice!
