Art of War
Five edicts from Sun Tzu's Art of War
- He who can modify his tactics in relation to his opponents and thereby succeed in winning may be called a heaven-borne captain
- There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare
- Know thyself - know thy enemy
- A clever fighter is one who not only wins, but one that excels in winning with ease
- In battle, there are not more than 2 methods of attack - direct and indirect; yet these two in combination give rise to endless series of manoeuvres.

Bird flu vs. swine flu
Almost all human diseases originate from other animals and then adapt to human hosts, says University of Guelph agriculture professor David Waltner-Toews, author of The Chickens Fight Back: Pandemic Panics and Deadly Diseases that Jump from Animals to People.
With influenza, different strains of the virus affect people, birds and pigs. Naturally, human influenza is the easiest for humans to get and to transmit to other humans. Humans can also get bird influenza and pig influenza, but it typically requires very close contact with the animals, Waltner-Toews said .
Bird or avian influenza is particularly hard to get, but humans who do get it experience very severe symptoms. That is why people were worried about a deadly pandemic if avian influenza were to mutate in such a way as to become easily transmissible between humans. Swine influenza is somewhat easier to transmit to humans but its symptoms tend to be milder than bird influenza.
Most flus contracted by humans are made up of predominately human influenza, but contain small pieces of avian or swine influenza. Swine flu is unusual because it is made up mostly of swine influenza but contains small amounts of avian and human influenza.
