Scientists tout swine flu breakthrough
Barca 4 life!Unlucky the Blues....
This what I found about the swine flu,the vaccine could be founded.
Therefore,get the desease faster and you won't have to take the exams...:))))
Mexico relaxed strict controls aimed at containing swine flu Wednesday after a five-day lockdown, as officials heralded a scientific breakthrough towards finding a vaccine for the virus.
Offices and restaurants in Mexico -- the epicentre of the virus -- reopened despite officials conceding that the death toll had now risen from 29 to 42.
Meanwhile the number of cases in the US showed a sharp rise, Sweden became the latest country to confirm infection and China claimed the epidemic was worsening.
Canada offered hope for efforts to contain the outbreak, announcing that its scientists have carried out the first complete genetic sequencing of swine flu, referred to as the A(H1N1) virus by the UN's World Health Organisation (WHO).
Speaking after neighbouring United States confirmed a second fatality from the virus, Canadian Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq told a press conference in Ottawa that knowledge of the virus had "taken a great step forward."
In Mexico, Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova said 42 people had been killed by the outbreak and that more than half the victims were between 20 and 29 years old -- an age group not normally badly affected by other flu bugs.
Cordova also said the number of confirmed infections in Mexico from the virus had risen from 913 to 1,070. The WHO says more than 1,500 people around the world have caught swine flu including some who have never been to Mexico.
Mexican authorities still pressed ahead with the reopening of offices and restaurants. High schools and universities are set to open on Thursday, to be followed by primary schools and kindergartens next Monday.
The emergence of the virus, a new strain that has combined human, swine and bird influenza, set off fears of a worldwide pandemic, even though the death toll has been relatively low and in line with any "normal" flu bug.
Countries have imposed a range of measures to prevent a dangerous and massively deadly global outbreak, hitting the tourism and travel industries and hurting Mexico's economy which was already weakened by the financial crisis.
Some of the measures have been denounced as an over-reaction and the WHO said it was asking countries that took "significantly different" measures to combat swine flu, such as restricting international travel, to justify their actions.
Meanwhile the number of confirmed US cases of swine flu surged by 60 percent Wednesday to 642 from 403, with infections reported in three more states and the death toll now at two.
New states reporting infections were Hawaii and Washington, which confirmed three cases each, and Oklahoma, with one case, according to a daily tally compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
With 41 states now reporting confirmed cases of the disease, the CDC website also upped the US death toll to add the first death of a US citizen from swine flu. The victim was a woman in her thirties "with chronic underlying health conditions" who died in a Texas hospital on Monday.
Although the worst initial fears about the deadliness of the outbreak have not been realized, Mexican officials say the economic cost has been steep and estimate it has cost the country 2.3 billion dollars (1.7 billion euros).
While only China -- the origin of the 2003 SARS epidemic -- and a handful of Latin American countries cut travel ties with Mexico, several airlines, tour companies and cruise lines suspended trips to the country.
"Chinese medical experts believe the global epidemic situation is still worsening and China has to give continued high attention," Vice Health Minister Zhang Mao was quoted as saying by the official Xinhua news agency.
Relations between Mexico and China were badly strained when 70 Mexicans were placed under quarantine in China after one Mexican in Hong Kong was confirmed to have been infected. They were eventually flown home on Tuesday.
A group of Chinese nationals who had been stranded in Mexico returned home on Wednesday before being immediately quarantined.
All 119 passengers and crew on a government-chartered Boeing 777 were isolated after arriving at Shanghai's Pudong International Airport.

Evaluation: "firewheel" rubber band machine-gun
This toy weapon variation for children(boys?) fires rubber bands in quick succession like,unsurprisingly,a machine gun.
The new product has been developed in Australia.This product is for entertainment,and a useful way to solve disspointness.This product is just a simple gun but a little bit more creative.IT's ammo is made by rubber bands.It sounds simple but not.The design for the product is very creative.It can shoot many rubber bands at the same time or could be shooted one by one rubber band.And the company guaranteedthe safe of the rubber band,that this product didn't create a lot of damages.
But it's quite simple as other gun toys.Therefore,for this product there are too many competitors,and this is the new product.And there is no guarantee about the product's quality.
Also it's useful and fun in the nice weather.But if it's rainy,snowy or especially windy,so the rubber band won't work properly because the rubber band is too light.So that,it can be blowed and become boring.And the demand for this product is just under 16 I think,for juniors and children only.
The strength of this product is also the good design with many colour choices.So it will satisfy the consumers' taste.
This is the video of the product:

The strength of this product is also the good design with many colour choices.So it will satisfy the consumers' taste.
"The design of the Firewheel was developed over quite a number of years through 3 distinct stages of prototyping (see Photo)
The Firewheel is manufactured from good quality materials which will tolerate quite a bit of misuse and abuse before failure.
The typical thickness of the mouldings is 3 mm, which you will find is quite a bit thicker than most other similar products, and due to its weight and styling, it feels like a real gun
The injection moulding tooling is made from high quality nitride-hardened steel, to maintain the accuracy of the components, and a high level of quality control is required during the assembly of the components, to achieve the result required.
The robustness and quality control, enable us to offer a genuine lifetime guarantee against faulty materials or workmanship. If it breaks, and you believe it was not your fault, then we will either repair or replace it."
*Strengths:
- Good design
- Totally safe
- Creative in type of shooting in this product
- Just for young age group
- Not guarantee the quality.
- Just can be useful in the good weather

Swine Flu Homework!
The swine flu could be *good* for the economy because everyone is going to run out and buy cold medication and hand sanitizer - do you agree?
First of all,Swine flu is a serius desease that may affect in people's life and it causes lower living health and standard as well.This is a one kind of flu and causes lower health and demotivate workers to work.Therefore,it leads to a decrease in productivity and may reduce the achievement of the consumers expenditure.Therefore,because of the swine flu, aggregate demand will shift to the left which may cause unemployment in the long run.As,swine flu is flowing over people's environment,people will go outdoors less will buy less.This may leads to a decrease in the AS.So Swine flu is the big problem to the economy of the country and causes many problems.
For example in Mexico,there is the biggest number of people that have swine flu.It may affect on Mexico's international trade.Other countries will buy less Mexico's exports,not only pork but also other kinds of meet,because they afraid of the illness will appear on their country.So this will make balance of payment deficit even worse.Therefore,at the average point,the swine flu really harms country's economy.
But it depends also on the which country.The swine flu will have less chances to be appeared in the countries that have religions against pork meet like Muslims.For example,Kazakhstan or Arabic countries will have less chances to have swine flu,therefore,other countries will expect that there's no swine flu in Muslim countries.This will make exports of meet in Muslims countries to increase a lot.And this may cure the balance of payment deficit,and boost AD and AS in the long run.
People may go out and buy a lot of anti cold medicines or hand sanitizer and this will increase demand for it,but the problem will be their spending on the medicines to increase government's revenue is much less than the cost to teh social.This deasease is infected,therefore,it's a negative externality as it also cost to the third party.Therefore,the Government will have to spend a lot on the NHS and it will be much more expensive than people's spend on cold medication and hand sanitizer.And as people will have more swine flu,it will reduce pructive capacity of a country in the luong run because of a decrease in productive capacity!
Therefore,I don't agree that swine flu will benefit the economy.

OMG!!!!!!!!
OHHHH my gooooood!!!!I just realised that in the economics mock....the last 18 marks question I did it completely opposite!!!!!!!!Oh My god,why I'm so stupiiiiiiiid!!!!!Ahhhh....
Damn meeee!!!!
I was so lucky that it was just a mock.I didn't read carefully the last question.
Therefore,thanks to EF that makes these mocks exams to improve these experients,and preparing us to the real exams.
Now,my experient was...Read Read Read and Read very carefully the questions,even it's really short.Ok,the question was:"What are the causes of the economic growth?"...Well it sounds simple isn't it.But if you read it roughly,you may make stupid mistakes and misunderstood the question like me!....I understood the question....like....What economic growth causes....???...Oh dumb me!!!!....
No comments please!!!!!Again,thanks to EF but anyway I'm thinking of moving school!:)))

Examiners reports!
- (a) (i) Identify 2 characteristics of a public good
- (ii) Explain 2 reasons why "education" is not a public good
In addition, whilst many answers gained reward for stating that education could be seen as being excludable because some parents cannot afford fees or because people live outside of a school’s catchment area, a number of candidates tried to explain excludability in terms of one candidates use of education limiting another’s. This was clearly not accepted as an explanation of excludability.
- (b) (i) Explain what is meant by externality
- (ii) Identify one possible example of a positive externality arising from education.Explain why this is a positive externality
- (iii) Using a diagram,explain how the existence of positive externalities can lead to market failure.
Better answers focused upon the issue of under consumption and explained that this would arise as a result of individuals basing their consumption decisions solely upon their private benefits and, therefore, ignoring the external benefits of their actions. This was then developed in terms of the resulting underproduction leading to allocative inefficiency and a misallocation of resources. Clearly such responses which answered the question directly using accurate economic terminology were well rewarded.
- (c) (i) explain why market dominance can lead to economic inefficiency.
- (ii) Explain how competition policy can be used to stop firms abusing their market dominance
- (d) The information provide states that the government may subsidies the supply of products which generate positive externalities.Discuss the effectiveness of subsidies as a solution to a market failure arising from positive externalities.
The only difficulty arose where candidates used this question as an opportunity to write about other forms of government intervention. Unfortunately, given that the question required specific discussion of subsidies, such answers could not be credited.
Overall, with candidates clearly well prepared for this final question, the responses were generally very pleasing indeed.
