What is swine flu???
Swine Influenza (flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses that causes regular outbreaks in pigs.The death rate among pigs is low, with most infections occurring in the late fall and winter. In the past there have been a few cases of swine flu transferred from person to person, but it was limited and not sustained beyond three people. Recently, however, the disease has been passed on from one person to another, even if they haven't had direct contact with pigs.

Interesting facts
76% of the world have electricity.
24% do not.
Of the 76% who have electricity most use it only for light at night.
I find this fact important because I realize that I am lucky, not only because I have electricity but I am in the small percentage who use electricity during the day. When I think about this...I feel a bit selfish. We are the people who are using the worlds resources. However our school could help save electricity by having solar panels ( There is plenty of sun in Malaysia). Also, in the future, if our school ever builds a new school, they can build bigger windows, to let more sunlight in.
