Happy Duanwu Festival
The Duanwu Festival occurs on the 5th day of the 5th month of the Lunar Calendar, giving rise to the alternative name of Double Fifth. This year, the festival falls on May 28. The festival is celebrated with eating dumplings (ZongZi or Chimaki ちまき in Japanese), which are large rice wraps, drinking wine and racing dragon boats.
The traditional story behind the festival is that it is to commemorates the death of poet Qu Yuan (340 BC - 278 BC) of the ancient state of Chu, in the Warring States Period of the Zhou Dynasty. A descendant of the Chu royal house, Qu served in high offices.
However, when the king decided to ally with the increasingly powerful state of Qin, Qu was banished for opposing the alliance. Qu Yuan was accused of treason. During his exile, Qu Yuan wrote a great deal of poetry, for which he is now remembered. Twenty-eight years later, Qin conquered the Chu capital.
In despair, Qu Yuan committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month.
Why do Chinese celebrates it?
Traditionally people went to the beach to throw dumpling into the sea to feed the fishes so that they do not eat Qu Yuan's body! Now some still does it traditionally and treat this day as a rememberance day for Qu Yuan, but today the celebration festival is still on minus the throwing of food into the sea.

Swine Flu Info(H1N1 flu)
What is Swine Flu ? 
Swine influenza, or swine flu, is a respiratory disease in pigs causes by certin strain of type A influenza virus (H1N1). Outbreaks of swine flu are not common among humans. Most people who get swine flu are infected through contact with pigs.The severity of swine flu in humans can vary from mild to severe.
Facts About Swine Flu(CNN)
The United States government declared a public health emergency Sunday as the number of identified cases of swine flu in the nation rose to 20.The declaration is part of a "standard operating procedure" that will make available additional government resources to combat the virus, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said at the White House.Additional cases of swine flu are expected to be reported in the coming days, added Dr. Richard Besser, acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.No one has died in the U.S. from swine flu, officials said Sunday.The World Health Organization advised all countries to be on the lookout for "unusual" outbreaks of flu, after an emergency meeting Saturday as the seriousness of the outbreak became clear.By Sunday, 81 deaths in Mexico had been deemed "likely linked" to swine flu. Viral testing has confirmed 20 cases, said Dr. Jose A. Cordova Villalobos, Mexico's health secretary.
The current WHO phase of pandemic alert is 3 https://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/statements/2009/h1n1_20090425/en/
How it spreads?
How it spreads?
Although people typically get swine flu from contact with pigs, there have been cases of person-to-person transmission. Expert think coughing, sneezing and contaminated surfaces can spread the infection among people, but it's unknown how easily that happens.The virus cannot be obtained through eating properly cooked pork or any pork product.
What are the symptoms ?
The symptoms are similar to those of the common flu: fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Also , like the common flu, swine flu may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions.Symptoms of diarrhea vomitting have also been reported. Infection from virus can lead to sevre illness, including pneumonia and respiratory failure, and can be fatal.
How should I protect myself ?
Do what you'd do in other flu outbreaks. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is advising people to "take the ordinary steps they would take to protect themselves:
(1) Frequent hand washing !
(2) Making sure you cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing.
(3) Because so much is still unknown at this point, the main risk factor is people traveling to areas where cases have already been identified. "However this virus may already be in other places in the United States," CDCspokesman Tom Skinner told CNN. "With enhanced surveillance, we will see more cases and that is why it makes good sense to be proactive, by doing things we know are effective in reducing exposure."
(4) Sick people should not go into work, nor should sick children be sent to school.
(5) If you're sick, stay home, get treatment, go see a doctor ! Details pls refer to below links: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/04/26/swine.flu/index.html?iref=nextin

Understand Your Customer
A good one from our alumni.
Know Your Customers:
A disappointed salesman of Coca Cola returns from his Middle East assignment.
A friend asked, "Why weren't you successful with the Arabs?"
The salesman explained "When I got posted in the Middle East , I was very confident that I would make a good sales pitch as Cola is virtually unknown there.
But, I had a problem I didn't know to speak Arabic.
So, I planned to convey the message through three posters....
First poster: A man lying in the hot desert sand...totally exhausted and fainting.
Second poster: The man is drinking our Cola.
Third poster: Our man is now totally refreshed.
And then these posters were pasted all over the place.

Economy Crisis In Zimbabwe
What's a crisis!
If you think that the current economic crisis is gloomy.
Digest this!
After the collapse of the agriculture sector in Zimbabwe in 2000, the inflation in that country skyrocketed to 231 million % annually. Just think about it, 231 000 000%! Unemployment went up to 80% and a third of country's population had left the country. Zimbabwe is still under President Robert Mugabe, who had rule the country since the 1980s but recently there is tremendous pressure for him to hand over power to his long-time rival Morgan Tsvangirai whose Movement for Democratic Change Party had won the March 2008 elections. Source -http://www.themalaysianinsider.com.my/index.php/world/18147-mugabe-swears-in-rival-as-zimbabwe-prime-minister
Let`s look at the photos that you may not see elsewhere.
Here is a boy getting change in 200 000 dollar notes!
One 200 000 dollar note has less value than US 0.10!
December 22nd, 2006, a new note of 500 000 dollars was introduced to the market!
Next - 750 000 dollars note, a few days later.
January, 2007 - new 10 million dollars note!
The US $10 dollars note is worth 10 times more than the Zimbabwe 10 million dollars note.
A case of 65 billion Zimbabwe dollars which equals to US $2000.
This guy is going to a supermarket.
The exchange rate is 25 million Zimbabwe dollars for 1 US dollar.
This mountain of cash is worth US $100.
February, 2007, the 50 Million dollars note is introduced!
Next is 250 million dollars note!
Excuse, how much is this T-Shirt? It's cheap, the discount price is only 3 billion dollars.
May, 2007 - a note of 500 million dollars was introduced!
June, 2007 - notes worth 25 & 50 billion dollars were printed.
September, 2007 - And finally 100 billion dollars note.
What can you buy with it? You can buy 3 eggs.
That's how the people went to restaurants!
And the bills:
In August 2007, the government devalued the Zimbabwe dollars by removing 10 zeros from the notes.
But, inflation kept increasing and in September 2007, for this amount of cash, you can only buy 4 tomatoes or some bread.
And then the currency value slide began again and by September 2008, the 20 000 dollars note was reintroduced.
Followed by the 50 000 dollars note a few weeks later.
In no time, the Zimbabwean economy would see the billion dollars notes again if no concrete solution is found.
And if you think that you are facing a tough financial crisis, think Zimbabwean and you'll feel much better! Source - http://www.nidokidos.org/funny-financial-crisis-t27710.html
According to Gilbert Muponda, a Zimbabwean entrepreneur living in exile, Zimbabwe’s hyper-Inflation is a result of the monetary authority irresponsibly borrowing money to pay all its expenses and funding quasi-fiscal activities (which are normally left to Central Government). In Neoliberalism, hyperinflation is considered to be the result of a crisis of confidence. The monetary base of the country flees, producing widespread fear that individuals will not be able to convert local currency to some more transportable form, such as gold or an internationally recognised hard currency.

An important message from our alumni:
Stroke remains the third leading cause of death, behind heart disease and cancer.
In US alone, over 1.1 million people is suffering from the effects of stroke in 2002.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
It only takes a minute to read this...
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke rec og nized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR .
Read and Learn!
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)(i.e. It is sunny out today.)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke---Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail, sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
