The Lungs
Our lungs fuel us with oxygen, the body's life-sustaining gas. They breathe in air,
then extract the oxygen and pass it into the bloodstream, where it's rushed off to
the tissues and organs
that require it to function. Your left and right lungs aren’t exactly the same. The
lung on the left side of your
body is divided into two lobes while the lung on your right side is divided into three. The
left lung is also
slightly smaller, allowing room for your heart.
The Presidential Election
The people of Ireland voted for the ninth President of Ireland on the 29th of October. There were 7
candidates, Martin McGuinness, Gay Mitchell, Sean Gallagher, Michael D. Higgins, Dana, Mary
Davis and David Norris. The President before the election was Mary McAleese. All people that
wished to vote had to put their name on the register of electors, then on the day of the voting, people
got a voting card called the ballot paper. Each person voted and put it in the ballot box. After the
counts many candidates were eliminated. The winner was Michael D. Higgins and he now lives in
Aras an Uachtaráin.
