However, for the 2009 outbreak, it is recommended it be treated with oseltamivir and zanamivir.
The vaccine for the human seasonal flu does not protect against the swine flu.
Even if the virus strains are the same specific variety, the antigenicity is very different.
Veterinary swine flu vaccine
The virus has evolved in recent decades.
This has made Swine influenza a bigger problem, mainly because traditional vaccines against influenza do not always work against Swine influenza.
There are special vaccines against Swine influenza, but they only work if the virus strain is similar to some extent.
In the cases more difficult to treat, special vaccines are produced.
These are very similar, as they are made to match the specific virus strain.
Present vaccination strategies for SIV control and prevention in swine farms, typically include the use of one of several bivalent SIV vaccines commercially available in the United States.
Of the 97 recent H3N2 isolates examined, only 41 isolates had strong serologic cross-reactions with antiserum to three commercial SIV vaccines.
Since the protective ability of influenza vaccines depends primarily on the closeness of the match between the vaccine virus and the epidemic virus, the presence of non-reactive H3N2 SIV variants suggests that current commercial vaccines might not effectively protect pigs from infection with a majority of H3N2 viruses.
The current vaccine against the seasonal influenza strain H1N1 is thought unlikely to provide protection.
The director of CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases said that the United States' cases were found to be made up of genetic elements from four different flu viruses—North American swine influenza, North American avian influenza, human influenza A virus subtype H1N1, and swine influenza virus typically found in Asia and Europe.
On two cases, a complete genome sequence had been obtained.
She said that the virus is resistant to amantadine and rimantadine, but susceptible to oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza).
2009 outbreak (Swine flu)
A new strain of swine influenza A called H1N1 was responsible for the swine flu outbreak in 2009 in humans.
It came from a combination of several strains of influenza in humans and influenza in birds and swine influenza.
Tests were done.
Testers found that the hemagglutinin (HA) gene was similar to that of swine flu viruses that had already been found in pigs in the United States since 1999, but the neuraminidase (NA) and matrix protein (M) genes resembled versions in European swine.
Viruses that were built like this had not been found in humans or pigs before.
There is no program to monitor what viruses are circulating in pigs in the United States, however it began in Mexico, North America.
Legacy in WHO guidelines
In 2009, the government of Egypt ordered over 300,000 pigs killed to prevent the spread of H1N1, even though experts said the pigs were not going to spread H1N1 anyway.
Most of the pigs' owners were not paid for their dead pigs.
In 2015, the World Health Organization made itself some rules for naming viruses: No official name is allowed to refer to a place, person or animal.
This is to prevent stigma, or blame.
The WHO rules list "swine flu" as an example of what not to do when naming a virus or disease.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a set of questions based on psychology.
By answering the questions, people can learn about how they tend to make choices.
They can also learn about how they view the world.
After answering the questions in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, people are placed in one of sixteen groups.
These groups are based on theories by Carl Gustav Jung in his book Psychological Types (1921).
Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers created the first set of questions during World War II.
The set of questions was made to help women who were working for the first time.
Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Meyers thought that the set of questions would help women be happier and work better.
The set of questions has grown into the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.
The MBTI that we use today was created in 1962.
Though there are sixteen types, it is stated that there is no best type.
The types are considered all equal.
Outlooks: extraversion / introversion
The MBTI measures four things.
The first is extraversion (E) and introversion (I).
Extraverts are people who get energy from the outside world.
Extraverts like to spend their time with other people.
Introverts are people who get energy from the inside world.
Introverts tend to get energy from thinking and reflecting.
Information gathering: sensing / intuition
The second measure is sensing (S) and intuition (N).
Sensing and intuition are ways of gathering information.
People who are sensing trust facts.
Sensing people accept things if they can see, hear, touch, taste, or smell them.
People who tend to like intuition are more likely to accept outcomes based on other people and meanings that cannot be tested.
Decision making: thinking / feeling
The third measure is thinking (T) and feeling (F).
Thinking and feeling are ways that people make decisions.
Those who prefer thinking tend to make decisions alone.
They heavily weigh reason, good sense, order, and cause and effect.
Those who prefer feeling are more likely to think of the effect that a decision may have on other people.
They tend to try to gain balance and agreement with everyone that is involved.
Dealing with others: judging / perceiving
The last measure is of judging (J) and perceiving (P).
Judging and perceiving detail how people deal with the outside world.
A person who likes Judging tends to report that they use Thinking or feeling to deal with the outside world.
A person who likes perceiving tends to report that they use sensing or intuition to deal with the outside world.
The full type
A Myers Briggs type is made up of each of the preferences above.
For example an ESTJ would be a person who prefers extraversion, sensing, thinking, and judging.
An INFP would be a person who prefers introversion, intuition, feeling, and perceiving.

Anal Cunt is an American grindcore band from Newton, Massachusetts.
They have been categorized as grindcore, noisecore, and hardcore.
The band were famous for refusing to follow society's expected levels of behaviour.
This non-conformity can be seen in the name of the band, and songs with titles such as "Recycling is Gay", "Kill Women" and "Eazy E got AIDS from Freddie Mercury".

Bouvet Island (, also historically known as Liverpool Island or Lindsay Island) is an island in the southern part of the Atlantic Ocean.
It is in the sub-antarctic areas, 2500 km (1500 miles) south-southwest of the Cape of Good Hope (South Africa).
It belongs to Norway and is not subject to the Antarctic Treaty (which says that land south of 60°S, including Antarctica, do not belong to any country).
It is the most remote island in the world, which means that is farther from other land than any other island on Earth.
The closest piece of land to the island is Queen Maud Land in Antarctica, which is more than 1600 km (994 miles) away.
Nobody lives there, and there are rarely any visitors.
The island is volcanic and has high cliffs on all sides (created by high waves over thousands of years).
90% of its area is covered by glaciers (ice).
Climate, plants and animal life
Bouvet Island is the setting of the 2004 movie Alien vs. Predator, where it is called by its Norwegian name "Bouvetøya".
The Crossosomatales are an order, newly recognized by the AGP II, of flowering plants, included within the Rosids, which are part of the eudicots.
Waterfowl are any type of bird that spends a lot of its life in or near water.
However, it mostly refers to the family Anatidae, which are ducks, geese and swans.
Occidental College is a small college in Los Angeles, California.
Several famous people, such as Barack Obama, have attended the college.

A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects is a book written by Mary Wollstonecraft in 1792.
Today, it is known as one of the first books about feminism.
In the 18th century, some people thought that women should not get a formal education.
Wollstonecraft wrote this work as a reply to them.
She says that women should have an education that fits their position in society.
She says women are very important to the nation, because it is women who usually educate their children.
She says that an educated woman can also be companions to their husbands, rather than just uneducated wives.
Wollstonecraft does not see women as ornaments to society, or property to be traded in marriage.
She argues that they are human beings, and therefore deserve the same basic rights men have.
In 1791, Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord wrote a report to the French National Assembly.
In this report, he argued, that women should only receive a very basic education.
Wollstonecraft used this report to write her reply.
She also led an attack on the sexual double standards the society of the day had.
She also indicted men for encouraging women to indulge in lots of emotion.
Wollstonecraft wrote the Rights of Woman quickly so that she could directly respond to ongoing events; she wanted to write a more thoughtful second volume, but died before doing so.
Wollstonecraft calls for equality between the sexes in particular areas of life, such as morality, but she does not write that men and women are equal in all things.
This has made it difficult to classify Wollstonecraft as a modern feminist as they believe men and women are equal in all things.
She could not use either the word or the concept of feminism, because they were only developed later.
Today, many people believe that her work was not received well, but this may be wrong.
People who believe this also believe that Wollstonecraft was as reviled during her lifetime as she became after the publication of William Godwin's Memoirs of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1798).
However, the Rights of Woman was actually well-received when it was first published in 1792.
One biographer has called it "perhaps the most original book of [Wollstonecraft's] century".

A supercontinent also called an enormous continent,  is a large area of land which has more than one continental core, or craton.
They are formed by continental plates coming together.
Continental plates have periodically collided and assembled in periods of orogeny (mountain-building) to form supercontinents.
The cycle of supercontinents forming, breaking up, separating, and re-forming through plate tectonics happens about every  2000 million years.
Eurasia is certainly a supercontinent, but the Americas are usually thought of as separate continents.
Even more clearly, Gondwana and Laurasia were supercontinents formed by the breakup of the global supercontinent Pangaea.
The land bridge between North and South America is geologically a rather temporary connection.
Because of this, the Americas are usually not described as one supercontinent.
Ancient supercontinents
Throughout Earth's history, there have been many supercontinents.
In order of age (oldest to newest), the ancient supercontinents were:
Vaalbara (~3.6 billion years ago)
Ur (~3.1 billion years ago)
Kenorland (~2.6 billion years ago)
Columbia, also called Nuna (~1.8 to 1.5 billion years ago)
Rodinia (~1.1 billion years to ~750 million years ago)
Pannotia, also called Vendian (~600 million years to ~540 million years ago)
Oldredia (~418–~380 million years ago)
Euramerica (~300 million years ago)
Pangaea (~300 to ~200 million years ago)
Laurasia (~510 to ~200 million years ago)
Gondwana  (~510 to ~180 million years ago)
The Åland Islands (Swedish: Åland (pronounced ), Finnish: Ahvenanmaa) form an archipelago in the Baltic Sea.
It is situated at the entrance to the Gulf of Bothnia and forms an autonomous, demilitarized, monolingually Swedish-speaking administrative province, region and historical province of Finland.
It is the smallest province of Finland, comprising 0.5% of Finland's population and 0.49% of land area.
The blade is usually somewhat flexible, and shiny.
Spatula blades are often longer on the right side than the left.
Most have long slots on the blades to allow liquids to go through, though some have simple holes or no holes at all.
Spatulas are usually made of plastic or metal, with a wooden or plastic handle to keep it away from heat.
Spatulas made for outdoor grilling have very long handles.
Spatulas can be colorful or have designs on them.
They can be used as art in the home.
Tim Walberg (born 12th April 1951) is a Republican politician.
He is a social and economic conservative.
He won his campaigns with clear support for President Bush's War in Iraq, tax cuts, and opposition to "pork barrel" spending.
He was defeated in the 2008 election by Mark Schauer.
He lives in Tipton, Michigan with his wife Sue and their children Matthew, Heido and Caleb.
Pork barrel is the appropriation of government spending for localized projects that are secured primarily to bring money to a representative's district.
The usage originated in American English.
It was a reference to the custom of slave owners giving a gift of Salt pork in a barrel to their slaves.
In election campaigns, the term is used in a negative way to attack opponents.
However, scholars use it as a technical term regarding legislative control of local appropriations.
The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) is an organization.
They fought the Sri Lankan Civil War against the Government of Sri Lanka for an independent Tamil state in Sri Lanka called Tamil Eelam.
LTTE are also known as the Tamil Tigers.
The group was started in 1972 by Velupillai Prabhakaran who was killed in battle against Sri Lanka's forces on May 18, 2009.
Prabhakaran's body was cremated because the government did not want people to gather around his grave.
There is also the Tamil Nadu Liberation Army who is currently fighting the Indian Army in South India.
This group killed the third president of Sri Lanka, Ranasinghe Premadasa.

In 1892 when Robert Peary reached the cape he said that it was the northernmost point of land.
Later it was discovered that Kaffeklubben Island was slightly north of Cape Morris Jesup.
Cape Morris Jesup was named after Morris Ketchum Jesup, an American philanthropist.
Flying fish are marine oceanic fishes of the family Exocoetidae.
They are over 50 species, and they live worldwide in warm waters.
They can glide in the air just above the water.
They are all small, with a maximum length of about 45 cm (18 inches), and have winglike, rigid fins and an unevenly forked tail.
They do not fly actively: their fins do not flap.
What they do is speed towards the surface and keep on going.
When they leave the water they glide, sometimes for a surprising distance.
It is generally thought to be an adaptation which helps them escape predators.
The glides are usually up to  in length.
Some have been observed soaring for hundreds of metres using the updraft on the leading edges of waves.
The fish can also make a series of glides, each time dipping the tail into the water to produce forward thrust.
The longest recorded series of glides, with the fish only periodically dipping its tail in the water, was for 45 seconds.
It has been suggested that the genus Exocoetus is on an evolutionary borderline between flight and gliding.
It flaps its enlarged pectoral fins when airborne, but still seems only to glide, as there is no hint of a power stroke.
Slate gray is a gray color with a little bit of azure blue in it.
It is the usual color of the material slate.
The first recorded use of slate gray as a color name in English was in 1705.

The Oyster card is a form of electronic ticketing used on public transport services within London.
It is promoted by Transport for London and is valid on a number of different travel systems across London including London Underground, buses, the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), London Overground, trams, some river boat services and most National Rail services within the London Fare Zones.
More importantly, it is very similar to Travelcard, a branch from the original London's e-payment cards.
A standard Oyster card is a blue credit card-sized stored value card which can hold a variety of single tickets, period tickets and travel permits which must be added to the card prior to travel.
It is also a contactless smart card which passengers must touch onto an electronic reader when entering and leaving the transport system in order to validate it or deduct funds.
The cards may be "recharged" in person from numerous sales points, by recurring payment authority or by online purchase.
The card is designed to reduce the number of transactions at ticket offices and the number of single paper tickets sold on the London transport network.
Use is encouraged by offering substantially cheaper fares on Oyster than payment with cash.
The card was first issued to the public in July 2003 with a limited range of features and there continues to be a phased introduction of further functions.
By June 2010, over 34 million Oyster cards had been issued and more than 80% of all journeys on services run by Transport for London used the Oyster card.
John William Heisman (October 23, 1869 – October 3, 1936) was a player and coach of American football, baseball, and basketball, as well as a sportswriter and actor.
The Heisman Trophy is named after him.
Residency is a level of medical training.
A resident physician or resident (called senior house officer or registrar in the United Kingdom, depending on the level of training) is a person who has gotten a medical degree and who practices medicine under supervision of other physicians, usually in a hospital.
In the United States, doctors must complete residency before they can practice medicine without supervision.
Residency programs train doctors to work in a specific specialty, or field within medicine.
For example, there are different residency programs for medicine, surgery, and psychiatry.
In the US, the length of a residency program is different based on specialty.
Residency in specialties like family medicine and psychiatry is usually three years long, but a residency program in neurosurgery (brain surgery) may be 7 years long.

Cymbals (pronounced like the word “symbol”) are percussion instruments.
They are discs made of copper, bronze or a special alloy.
They look rather like saucepan lids, but in the middle they jut out a little and they have straps there that pass through a hole.
There are two ways of playing cymbals.
One way is to use a pair of cymbals that are the same.
The player holds one cymbal in each hand, holding them by the strap.
He then bangs the cymbals together.
There are many ways of doing this depending on the sort of sound that is wanted.
For example, a very quiet sound can be made by rubbing the edges of the cymbals together.
A very loud sound can be made by hitting them together as the arms form a circle, and letting the cymbals vibrate for a long time by holding them in the air.
Another way of playing the cymbal is to use just one cymbal, and to hang it on a stand.
It can then be played with a beater, stick or wire brush.
It can be hit at the edge, in the middle, or half way between, depending on the sound that is wanted.
Cymbals are made in different sizes.
Some may be just 25 cm across, large ones may be up to 60 cm across.
Cymbals do not normally give any particular pitch.
There are, however, small ones based on an old form of cymbal which are called “crotales”.
There are also Chinese cymbals which have a turned-up edge.
Cymbals are used in many different musical groups.
They are heard in an orchestra, in jazz groups, percussion groups and bands, including marching bands.
A drum kit always has at least one cymbal.
This may be a “crash cymbal” (on the top of a stand) or a pair of hi-hats (a pair of small cymbals operated by pressing a pedal with the foot.
The word cymbals comes from the Latin cymbalum, which itself comes from the Greek word kumbalom, meaning a small bowl.
It was used in many ancient cultures including Egyptian civilisations.
Orchestral cymbals
Cymbals are often used in orchestras.
The first composer to use them was probably Joseph Haydn in his “Military Symphony” (1794).
They are often used when there is a big climax (for example in the “Academic Festival Overture” by Johannes Brahms, but they can also sometimes be played very quietly.
Sometimes players should let the cymbal vibrate for a long time after a big crash, but at other times he may have to hold the cymbals against his body quickly to stop the noise.
This is called “damping” the sound.
Cymbals have traditionally often been played together with the bass drum.
This makes a "crash-bang-wallop" noise.

A wood block is a small percussion instrument.
It is made of wood and hit like a drum.
The woodblock is hollow inside so that it makes a big, resonating sound.
It can come in different forms, but many modern woodblocks are shaped like a brick.
The sticks used to hit the woodblock can be snare drum sticks or xylophone beaters.
It makes a hard, high sound.
It can often be heard in large orchestras, e.g. in Bernstein's West Side Story.
Berwickshire is a British county in Scotland.
It is also the name of a committee area of the Scottish Borders Council.
Berwickshire is on the boundary of Scotland with England.
It is named after Berwick-upon-Tweed, but Scotland lost Berwick to England in 1482.
Berwickshire's first county town was the Royal Burgh of Berwick-upon-Tweed.
In 1482 England seized Berwick.
After that the shire's business was done at Duns or Lauder until Greenlaw became the county town in 1596.
Berwickshire County Council, like all the County Councils in Scotland, was made in 1890.
The Council met in Duns.
Berwickshire County Council was ended in 1975.
In 1975 a new Borders Region was made.
A Berwickshire District Council was made within it too, with an area like the county’s but not the same.
Berwickshire District Council was ended in 1996.
In 1890, when Berwickshire County Council was made, the Council asked the Lord Lyon King of Arms to give them a shield and arms.
He gave a shield and arms to the County Council on 10 October 1890.
The shield shows a bear chained to a wych-elm tree.
The bear and wych-elm are part of Berwick upon Tweed’s shield because they sound like the town’s name.
On 12 November 1975 the Lord Lyon gave the arms again to Berwickshire District Council.
When the district council ended in 1996, the right to the arms went back to the Queen.
Berwickshire’s name today
Berwickshire’s name is still used locally.
The Berwickshire News is a newspaper in the county and many groups keep "Berwickshire" in their titles.
The Berwickshire Civic Society is (2009) asking the Council to put road signs up to tell drivers who are coming into the county that they are coming into Berwickshire.
The Berwickshire Civic Society has a Keep Berwickshire Tidy competition each April.

This article is about the percussion instrument.
For the rhythm used in music of Cuban origin see clave
Claves (Spanish word: second e is sounded) are percussion instruments.
They are small wooden sticks made of tropical hardwood.
They are traditionally heard in Cuban music, e.g. salsa.
In Cuban music they often repeat a special rhythm called clave (pronounce: "CLAH-ve").
The usual way of playing claves is to hold one clave lightly between the thumb and the fingertips with the palm of the hand facing upwards, or to cradle the clave in the hand.
The other, held with the other hand, hits it.
The Pacific Electric Railroad Bridge or Southern Pacific Railroad Bridge is a historic railroad bridge in Torrance, California USA.
It spans across Torrance Boulevard at Bow Street, a short distance west of Western Avenue.
It was once part of the north/south Torrance to San Pedro spur line of the Pacific Electric Railway.
The line was the railroad's first interurban line to San Pedro.
After splitting off to the east from the Union Tool Company plant which was once a short distance south of the bridge, the line ended at a Columbia Steel steel mill (later United States Steel) by running up and over the east/west Torrance local line.
It is the only part of the PE which crossed itself this way.
This was due to the area's geography.
If the railroad simply built a spur off of the main line, it would have meant that trains trying to get to the steel mill would have faced too steep a climb.
The steel mill has since been torn down to make way for the national headquarters of American Honda Motor Company, but the remaining part of the Torrance line - which once had two separate tracks - was rebuilt in 2003 and is still in use for local train runs by the Union Pacific Railroad.
Gone too are the Pacific Electric's Torrance shops at the western branch of the split, now the site of an industrial park and which still receives trains on the local line.
The bridge was designed by Irving Gill and was built in 1913 as part of the original layout of the city as drawn up by Jared Sidney Torrance and Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr..  It became the city's second entry in the National Register of Historic Places on July 13, 1989 after Torrance High School.
It is also listed with the California Office of Historic Preservation.
Though tracks and track parts remain on the bridge, it is no longer in use nor has it been for quite some time.
There is no chance of the bridge ever being used to carry trains again, since the right-of-way at either end has been changed and the tracks removed.
Even so, the Pacific Electric Railroad Bridge has become a symbol of the city as part of the Torrance Police Department's logo as of January 1, 2000, only the third such change in the department's history.
