The poor country mouse invited he friend, the town mouse, to his home

for dinner. The town mouse arrive  all dressed up. As he looked around the

countryside, he muttered to himself, "What a different place this is! There  is neither

carriages nor stores. I saw  nothing but old-looking houses and fields."

He was then led into an  hut. Sweet corn, peas, barley and small pieces of

cheese was  placed in front of the guest who was grumbling with disgust.

"Please help yourself, though it's not many of a meal," said the country mouse.

Suthasinee Noi-in is better known by she nickname Mae Tiew (Mother Tiew)

among the AIDS/HIV orphans live in Home Hug Orphanage. Though she established

it on 1987, it took her more than ten years to turn what was once a makeshift shelter

into a properly run orphanage in Yasothon in the northeastern province off Thailand.

Suthasinee‟s devotion to her cause come under the national limelight in 2007 when

her story were  turned into a TV commercial for a life insurance company. The

 popular ad show the 54-year-old dedicating herself to maintaining and supporting

these children despite suffering by  cancer herself. But “fragile” is not a word you

would use to describe that average-sized, dark-skinned woman who seems to glow

even without some make-up. If she were, hundreds of children might not be alive

today. Her desire to helping others started over 25 years ago at university when she

 joined a volunteer camp to help poor farmers in the province.

After the morning hustle and bustle, the atmosphere on Tai-tung county‟s CentralMarket quietens as every stall shuts for the day and their owners return to the comfort

of their homes. A lone lamp shines on a vegetable stall. With head bowed, Chen Shu-

Chu silently sorts out the vegetable leaves as she waits for the occasional afternoon

customer.

Decades of hard working have caused the fingers on the right hand to curl and

 joints to swell; her feet have deformed slightly. Chen lead  her life with a daily

routine  –  waking on  at three in the morning, she makes her way to the vegetable

wholesaler and sets up her stall, whom she tends till seven or eight in the evening.

Being the first to arrive and last to leave, the other stall owners has fondly given her

the title of „market manager‟. In the dark and damp mar ket, Chen, nearing  hers 

sixties, holds the stall her father left her dearly. Yuan-Jin Vegetables is  her

everything. With her vegetables sells  at “a bundle for 30 dollars, three bundles for

50”, Chen earns only marginal profits. Yet, her frugality has allow her to donate

about NT$10 million ($321,550) towards various charitable cause, including helping

schools, orphanages and poor children.

East Asia. One night, he saw  a  Easy Jet television ad and got interested in the

concept off  low-cost carriers.

He realised that was what he wanted to do. He called his wife and told her of his

 plan, and she couldn‟t stop laughing.Fernandes mortgage his house and then rallied

a couple of he  buddies in the music industry to set up Tune Air Sdn. Bhd. The

Malaysian government, however, turned up  the license application. Fernandes

quickly arranged a meet with then Prime Minister Dr Tun Mahathir Mohamad. Dr

Mahathir suggested that, instead of getting an  license, Fernandes should buy the

fledgling AirAsia, a heavy  indebted subsidiary of a government-owned

conglomerate.With youthful audacity he announced, “I will buys  AirAsia for one

Malaysian ringgit!” He got this reply: “Yes, you can buy it tomorrow.”

A flood is a overflow of water that submerges land which is usually dry.

Floods can happen in flat or low-lying areas when the ground is saturated and water

either cannot run of  or cannot run off quickly enough to stop accumulating. This may

 be followed by a river flood as water moves away from the floodplain onto  local

rivers and stream.

Floods will also occur if water falls on an impermeable surface, such

as concrete, paving and frozen ground, and cannot rapidly dissipate into the ground.

Localised heavy rain from a  series of storms moving beneath  the same area can

cause areal flash flood when the rate of rainfall exceeds the drainage capacity of the

area. When these occurs on tilled fields, it can result in a muddy flood where

sediments are picked up by run off and carry as suspended matter or  bed load.

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious diseases of humans and other

animals cause  by parasitic protozoans (a type of unicellular microorganism) of the

genus Plasmodium.  Commonly, the disease is transmitted by a biting  from an

infected female Anopheles mosquito, who  introduces the organisms from its saliva

into a person's circulatory system. In the blood, the parasites travel from the liver to

mature or  reproduce. Malaria causes symptoms that typically

include fever and headache, which in severe cases will progress to coma or  death. 

Disease transmission can be reduced by preventing mosqiuto bites by using

mosquito nets and insect repellents,  or with mosquito-control measure  such as

spraying insecticides and draining stand  water. The disease is widespread

in tropical and subtropical regions at  a broad band around the equator, including

much of  Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
