Whiteout conditions in parts of the Midwest have caused at least one death and several road closures, while the Southeast braces for torrential rain and flooding.
All this spells more nightmares for holiday travelers heading into New Year's weekend.
"This storm system was always comprised of two threats — one for blizzard conditions and another for severe weather," CNN meteorologist Gene Norman said.
Here's what's happening in different parts of the country:
'Our town has come to a complete standstill' in the Midwest
About 1 million people are under blizzard warnings Thursday in parts of Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and the Dakotas, CNN meteorologist Monica Garrett said.
"Snow with high winds and low visibility will make travel in this area dangerous if not impossible at times," Garrett said.
The storm system is expected to dump 6 to 12 inches of snow in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and the Dakotas, Norman said.
In Kansas, blizzard conditions closed a 75-mile stretch on Interstate 70 from Colby to WaKeeney as well as roads from west of Garden City to the Colorado state line. Blizzard conditions over the Northern Great Plains and Upper Midwest are expected to end early Friday morning.
Kansas State Highway Patrol reported the first weather-related fatality on Interstate 70 near Oakley. The crash involved a commercial vehicle and a passenger car, Trooper Tod Hileman said.
Roads in parts of central and northern Minnesota are covered with ice and snow. The Minnesota Department of Transportation urged drivers to wait for conditions to improve if travel isn't necessary.
In South Dakota, snow and mixed precipitation will worsen as heavy snow combines with wind.
In Nebraska, whiteout conditions and crashes forced the closure of Interstate 80 between Lexington and North Platte.
Sharon Kay Oelkers captured video of snow blinding her town of Elwood, Nebraska, on Thursday morning.
"Our town has come to a complete standstill," Oelkers told CNN. "I work at the local grocery store and even we are closed and we never close."
Parts of the Southeast could get flooded
About 24 million people are under flood watches or flash flood watches through early Saturday, Norman said.
Live: Track the storms yourself
Those watches cover parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia and the Carolinas.
Atlanta, home of the world's busiest airport, could get up to 6 inches of rain by the end of this weekend — potentially snarling holiday travel.
Fierce storms hit Gulf Coast states
Coastal parts of Texas are getting walloped Thursday after severe weather caused in-flight injuries and spiked a football game a day earlier in the Dallas area.
"Severe storms including damaging winds and an isolated tornado are possible along the Gulf Coast from Louisiana to Alabama today," Garrett said Thursday.
"Winds will also be strong from the Gulf Coast northward to the Ohio Valley, with winds gusting up to 45 mph throughout the day today."

Initially this was supposed to be a motivational site, but it just turned to poop over the last few months. I figure I'd make it satirical and sarcastic. Booyah!

Lupita part Tres. I'm still scared while typing this..
I should have known. I was hoping to get everything packed up, but one of the clients called and I didn't want to sound unprofessional with me grunting and heaving over boxes while he's asking me questions.
I thought about coming by the next day, but I knew I wouldn't have any time to do it since I'd spend most of my day transitioning accounts to my old co-workers.
So here's basically how the conversation goes:
Lupita: Oh! (she begins to suck on her candy furiously.)
Me: Oh hey, Lupita.
Lupita: Dee you get my note?
Me: Yes, I did. Thank you for your compliments.
Lupita: (smiles.. and slowly dislodges whatever nasty candy from the gap of her mouth). I like you.
Me: Oh. Well.. uh (Lupita begins to inch closer to me. I take a step back).
Lupita: I like you. (She smiles and I'm reminded of a Jack O' Lantern...)
Me: Uh.. yeah. Thank you. But.. But...
Lupita: But what?! (She begins to seethe. She obviously thinks I'm playing games with her). I know you like me. I see you look at me. I know. I know.
Me: I'm not playing games Lupita. I'm really not playing games! (I'm trying to figure an exit strategy, but I'm somewhat cornered).
She literally had her arms at her hips with that butter scotch candy furiously going in and out of that gap.
There was an awkward silence and I began to accept fate. If I was going down, then so be it.
My phone went off. Lupita and I both looked at my phone.
It was my mom.
My freaking mom saved my ass. I quickly picked it up and I began to head out.
Me: Hi mom? How are you doing?
Mom: You know, you didn't go to jury duty right?
Me: Oh no way mom! Really? That's such a shame. (As I walk out of my office, I pick up a box and look at Lupita). I'm sorry, but I think you got it all wrong. I'm not interested. But, mind if you lock up after you're done cleaning? Thanks, bye!
I didn't bother turning around. I just bee-lined it to my car and took off. I wanted to make sure she didn't know what car I drove as well.
I'm kind of paranoid of what may happen tomorrow morning. Who knows, she might leave a steaming pile of poop on my desk...

(covers information from several alternate timelines)
The Caitians were a warp-capable species that resembled humanoid felines.
While the skin of some Caitians was covered with fur that varied in color from orange to black, other Caitians were without fur or trimmed down completely. (Star Trek: The Animated Series; Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; Star Trek Into Darkness) The voices of at least some of the females had a soft, cat-like purring quality. Some Caitians did not use footwear. (Star Trek: The Animated Series)
The Caitian homeworld was a Federation member. Caitians served in Starfleet and on the Federation Council, and were present as members in 2286. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
In the alternate reality, Caitians were present on Earth by 2259. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
People Edit
Background informationEdit
The name of the species comes from a biography of Lt. M'Ress, published by Lincoln Enterprises in 1974, which claims that the Caitians are related to the Kzinti, and were from Cait. This is corroborated by extensive commentary by Larry Niven, author of most of the Known Space books and virtually the entire Known Space sub-series The Man-Kzin Wars, primarily found in his short story books "N-Space," "Playgrounds of the Mind," and "The Patchwork Man."
From StarTrek.com, "The felinoid Caitians and the warlike Kzinti share common roots in the deep past — as do Vulcans and Romulans. As with the Vulcans and the Romulans, the two groups went their separate ways to develop as two entirely different civilizations. The Caitians are fierce warriors when so called upon, but pride themselves on their accomplishments in arts and philosophy rather than on the martial arts. Natives of Cait tend to be small and sinewy; the females are as delicately dainty as the Siamese or Abyssinian cats of old Earth. Their family units are extremely close."
The Lincoln Enterprises biography of M'Ress similarly expanded on the Caitians, stating that they tended to be small and sinewy, with their females delicately dainty. [1]
Damon Lindelof has confirmed that the alien twins Kirk slept with in Star Trek Into Darkness were Caitians. [2]
According to Akiva Goldsman, Bjayzl from PIC: "Stardust City Rag" was originally intended to be a Caitian. [3]
The Caitians are expanded upon in FASA's Star Trek IV Sourcebook Update, which indicates that the feline humanoids seen in The Voyage Home were intended to be the same species.
The Last Unicorn and Decipher RPG books had to use the name "Regulans" because of copyright issues.
M'Ress is also referred to as a Caitian in the audio story "Passage to Moauv".
Set in 2409, the computer game Star Trek Online features the Caitians as a playable species of the Federation faction, which also employs ships of unique Caitian design, e.g., the Atrox Carrier, Shikaris Escort, and Stalker Stealth Fighter. According to their description, Caitians are "known throughout their quadrant for their intelligence, curiosity, loyalty and love of beauty". The game includes several Caitian NPCs, including Enterprise-F Tactical Officer and Security Chief Lieutenant Kyona. It also depicts a species closely related to the Caitians called Ferasans.

I really like concept of using journal cards – like those for Project Life – but I don't (yet) own a setup with the album etc. That hasn't stopped me from being fascinated with the hundreds of journal cards available online. So I figured out a way of using them with my personal-sized Filofax Saffiano. Here's how!
It took me a while to figure out where I could get all these crafty tools, but thanks to a couple of local and online hobby and craft shops I found some nifty tools. For this mini-project, I used a Kangaro brand single hole punch, a corner munch punch , a pair of small craft scissors, printed cardstock for the backing and these lovely free printables by Miss Tiina.
For sticking the printed journal cards onto the cardstock, I printed them on A4 size paper labels (like these from Oddy). If you don't have these, you can still print them on regular paper and stick them with a glue stick.
Step 1: Print out the journal cards – if you have the adhesive paper labels, use those and trim the journal cards around the border.
Step 2: If you printed the cards on the adhesive paper labels, peel off the paper on one card and stick it on the non-printed side of the card stock. If you printed the cards on regular paper, use a glue stick. Trim off the excess card stock on the side of each card, if any.
Repeat for all the cards.
Step 3: Take one card (now mounted on the card stock) and use the corner munch punch to make each edge round. Repeat for all the cards.
Step 4: Take one card and use the single hole punch to cut out three holes. Tip: Use a pre-punched insert as a stencil to get the spacing right. Repeat for all the cards.
They should now look like this:
Step 5: Unlock the ring-binder of your Filofax/organizer and slide the punched journal card into place. Voila! Start writing!
Here are some pictures of what mine look like:
If you try it, let me know how it works out! And if you like the journal cards, don't forget to let Miss Tiina know!

Wednesday, October 04, 2017
Most years since 2000, the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern has been filled with a whopping art project, with varying degrees of success. This year's is one of the better ones - which, given the underwhelm of the last few years, isn't difficult.
One Two Three Swing! is the brainchild of Danish art collective SUPERFLEX. They've erected a chain of swings across one end of the Turbine Hall, with three-seaters dangling throughout, and hung a giant pendulum above the other. Specifically they've created a work of art you can interact with, and share, although calling it "playfully subversive" is probably going too far.
An orange bar winds in a highly angular manner across a specially padded cork floor. At no point does it touch the ground, except at the very beginning, supported elsewhere on less vibrant grey prongs. The swings vary in height along its length, but what hangs down always has three seats, to make a point about joint action being better than going it alone.
I was expecting the installation to be rammed on the first morning of the six month run, but not so. Instead I managed to locate an empty swing almost immediately, and got to rock alone, rather than having two companions foisted upon me. I'd expect a queuing system of sorts to be in operation at more popular times like weekends.
Swinging, like riding a bike, is something you never forget how to do. It's been a while, but my legs instinctively pushed out to maximise whatever bit of physics makes this work, and tucked back on the return. It's quite liberating, swinging, which is why you enjoyed it so much when you were six.
Top tip 1 - balance yourself. If there's only you don't sit at the end, and if there's two of you leave a gap in the middle, otherwise the ride's not so smooth. Top tip 2 - it's even faster on the swings with the greatest drop, where three people can get up quite a speed if they put their minds to it. Wheee!
The orange bar winds underneath the central platform, where there's a special parent-and-baby swing complete with seat belts, if that's what you need. It breaks out into the other end of the Turbine Hall, and then nips up onto the central platform itself... where there aren't yet any swings, but expect some soon.
The sloping end of the Turbine Hall has a more relaxed vibe, with a large striped carpet covering the floor and a giant pendulum swinging above. The carpet uses the colours of British banknotes, so is striking, and is designed to be sprawled upon so you can look up at the pendulum swinging overhead. A bit of a nod there to the giant sun of 2003's Weather Project, perhaps, but fewer thrills.
And there's more. The orange pole plunges into the wall and heads outside, or at least it will once complete. At present the swirly courtyard round the back of the extension is a minor building site, with sets of poles awaiting construction, but a small annexe opposite Starbucks is already complete, with two very public swings poised over a sea of wood chippings.
It's nothing high concept, this Turbine Hall commission, more a genuine crowd pleaser. A bit like Carsten Höller's twirly slides in 2006, all SUPERFLEX have really done is bring the playground to the gallery. What'll be next here after swings, I wonder, roundabouts? Whatever, it's fun enough, so bring some friends or family before April and enjoy oscillating together.

LoJack SCI and TransVoyant Partner to Deliver Supply Chain Risk Alerting
Jan 05, 2016, 08:00 ET
RICHARDSON, Texas, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Will the potential for a port workers' strike in Shanghai affect my shipments? How risky is this shipping route through northwestern Mexico for cargo theft? Will severe weather in the Pacific cause my ocean cargo to arrive late into the Port of Long Beach? Converging logistical risk subject matter expertise with live data analytics, LoJack SCI and TransVoyant today announced a partnership that will answer these questions and more – providing enterprises with the ability to identify, prioritize, and mitigate supply chain risks by increasing real-time alerting on factors that affect global supply chains. As part of the next generation Supply Chain Information Sharing and Analysis Center (SC-ISAC), customers will be able to log in to the online portal and take advantage of real-time global intelligence, fueled by streaming data and analytics that enable the collection, analyzation, and dissemination of actionable intelligence to help secure global supply chains and protect critical infrastructure.
"Using the global TransVoyant CDI™ Platform will be transformative as the SC-ISAC evolves. The depth and global breadth of the data feeding the portal will be fully utilized in the new portal. This holistic data driven approach to supply chain is consistent with the direction LoJack SCI is driving across the product line – centered around the core SC iOn Command portal," said Ted Wlazlowski, CEO of LoJack SCI.
Information presented via SC-ISAC is powered by TransVoyant's CDI™ Platform. This live and predictive analytics platform filters through news sources (including Lloyd's Maritime, CNN, and more), blogs, social media (ex. Twitter), and natural disaster alerting sources to find and disseminate content relevant to global supply chains. Real-time listening algorithms conduct searches around port strikes, cargo theft, driver safety, traffic, cargo ship locations, port congestion, airport closures, severe weather alerts, earthquakes, and more in order to provide a holistic view of current and forecasted global threats to supply chains. Customers will be able to better take advantage of information external to their organization and realize decision lead times that could save money on rush orders and shave days off of inventory cycle times.
"The combination of TransVoyant's powerful CDI™ data engine and the next generation SC-ISAC portal creates a real-time information fusion hub for the supply chain industry. This partnership will increase situational awareness and enable supply chain executives to manage and mitigate risk over the entire globe. This is the first of many strategic initiatives for the TransVoyant-LoJack SCI team," said Luke Balsley, TransVoyant Managing Director.

Tag: Frog Abnormalities
The content below has been tagged with the term "Frog Abnormalities."
A reason for at least some of the amphibian deformities
October 2, 2009 | 2 minute read
Transcript Greetings, and welcome to the Southern Appalachian Creature Feature. For several years biologists were noticing fairly widespread malformations among amphibians - frogs missing legs or having extra legs. There was much speculation about the cause of this disfigurement, including heightened suspicion of pesticides and other chemicals. Researchers have recently uncovered what may be at least part of the explanation for legless frogs – dragonflies. Frogs and dragonflies have something in common – they both spend the early part of their life in water. Learn more...

About Jessie Y.
I hold a Masters of Music in Violin Pedagogy from Boise State University. I have been playing the violin for eighteen years. I have performed in a variety of ensembles from 180-person full orchestra and chorus in Eisenstadt, Austria, to a string quartet in a Beatles tribute band. I have been teaching private lessons for about eight years, mostly to beginning and intermediate level students.
*** Lesson Details ***
I teach primarily from the Suzuki violin method with some additional resources to create a well-rounded knowledge of the violin. In addition to learning to play certain pieces on the violin students will develop various basic music skills and techniques, such as a theory and history of music. The main goal of my teaching, however, is to instill a love of music and the arts in each and every student I teach.
*** Studio Equipment ***
My home studio is equipped with a piano, music stand, music theory and ear training games, as well as a vast library of method books and supplemental materials.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I provide lesson plans and some technology. I expect students to have their own instruments and cleaning materials, as well as the appropriate music. Occasionally we will need access to a piano. If there is no piano at the student's home we will need to meet at a location to practice with one.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in the Suzuki violin method.
ReviewsWrite a Review
Very knowledgeable and patient. I am learning violin for the first time, and she takes the time to help with proper posture and positioning and technique.
Very patient and professional
Jessie is very patient, professional, flexible. I'm a college student and busy with school work, but I still learned a lot from her, not only in violin skills, but also music theory and so on. She also teaches me how to practice instead of just showing me the pieces.
Gives you confidence in your own abilities
Jessie taught my daughter from June 2011-Dec 2012. She has been an excellent teacher for my 4 year old. It is really a challenge to keep kids focused at this age and Jessie was always up for the challenge. She simplified things down to really basic tasks that the kids can do and more importantly enjoy the learning experience.
During the period our little girl developed the confidence to play in front of a large audience. She could compose her own variations and play it with authority.
Jessie was always on time and professional with her approach. She always brought prints for parents to follow through on the lessons. It made practices at home really simple for us. We could see progress in our daughter's abilities every week.
We felt sorry that we could not continue on with her because of us relocating to a different city and her move as well. I would greatly recommend her for your violin lessons.
Jessie was my daughter's violin teacher
My daughter had Jessie as her second violin teacher and we loved her. With her first teacher, she had lost her love to play just for fun, being concerned too much about skill and perfection, but Jessie understood her needs, therefore was able to help her, and my daughter regained her confidence and started enjoying playing again.

We need to talk about political stagnation in Wales.
by Gareth Axenderrie
The global political landscape is constantly changing, and it's doing so faster than ever.
In Wales however, things feel very much the same. In the most recent Welsh Political Barometer Poll for the Wales Governance Centre, Labour remain well ahead in voting intention for both Welsh Assembly (43%) and Westminster elections (47%). When converted into seats, things remain pretty much the same as they are now.
As the rest of the world experiences political uncertainty, Wales just stumbles onwards, meandering from election to election, rarely delivering anything more than minor uncertainty.
Political apathy in Wales is consistently high, even when compared to a general trend on a UK level. Turnout in Welsh Assembly elections has never reached 50%, that means half of all people eligible never feel compelled to vote. This could be excused if the political power residing in the Senedd remained at the levels of its formation, but it doesn't. The Assembly now has authority over many areas of government, including health, education and transport. From next year, it will also have tax raising powers. If engagement doesn't increase along with further transfers of power, then the democratic deficit in Wales will only grow.
In stable political systems where the status quo usually prevails, engagement rarely spikes. The problem in Wales is that we need further engagement and debate, because our increasing political power needs public scrutiny. Our news media is notoriously weak with over 90% of Welsh people reading newspapers that contain little or no Welsh news. We are saturated by English news on politics and current affairs. Our television screens and social media feeds are filled with debate that is occurring the other side of Offa's Dyke.
Brexit is the barometer of this deficit. The debate was based upon an increased realisation of English nationalism and identity. The debate that we engaged in here in Wales was usually Blue on Blue; Tories arguing with Tories about issues that were salient in England, with little in the way of a Welsh perspective. What the Brexit referendum did offer the disengaged Welsh electorate, many of whom feel complete apathy and dissatisfaction with politics, is genuine political empowerment. An opportunity to have their voice listened to, and make a genuine change.
Brexit mobilised a section of the Welsh population, and regardless of whether you agree with how they voted, they were involved for a moment. Almost eighteen months on, there's little in the way of an engaged debate in Wales around what a Welsh future outside of the European Union looks like. 'Let's just get out', 'We'll be alright' and 'I'm not sure it'll even happen' simply aren't good enough. It appears the reengaged masses have disappeared again.
This latest polling once again suggests that Wales remains stagnant in the way the population shapes Welsh politics. There appears to be no genuine alternative to Welsh Labour, no further opportunity for political change. No alternative means no motivation to engage. That means the population is threatening to sleep walk through a period of rapid change for Wales, and that stagnation provides a huge threat to any sense of independent Welsh political direction.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the 2000 film Cast Away, Tom Hanks plays an American FedEx executive who is stranded alone on a remote Pacific island after he survives a plane crash. A few items from the plane wash up on shore, including a volleyball. He draws a face on it and names it "Wilson," creating a companion who becomes his confidant for the next four years. I'd love to see you enlist an ally like Wilson in the coming week, Aries. There are some deep, messy, beautiful mysteries you need to talk about. At least for now, the only listener capable of drawing them out of you in the proper spirit might be a compassionate inanimate object that won't judge you or interrupt you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As far as I know, there has been only one battleship in history that was named after a poet. A hundred years ago, the Italian navy manufactured a dreadnought with triple-gun turrets and called it Dante Alighieri, after the medieval genius who wrote the Divine Comedy. Other than that, most warships have been more likely to receive names like Invincible, Vengeance, Hercules, or Colossus. But it would be fine if you drew some inspiration from the battleship Dante Alighieri in the coming weeks. I think you will benefit from bringing a lyrical spirit and soulful passion to your expression of the warrior archetype.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you go to a 7-Eleven convenience store and order a Double Big Gulp drink, you must be prepared to absorb 40 teaspoons of sugar. But what will be an even greater challenge to your body is the sheer amount of fluid you will have to digest: 50 ounces. The fact is, your stomach can't easily accommodate more than 32 ounces at a time. It's true that if you sip the Double Big Gulp very slowly — like for a period of three and a half hours — the strain on your system will be less. But after the first half hour, as the beverage warms up, its taste will decline steeply. Everything I've just said should serve as a useful metaphor for you in the coming week. Even if you are very sure that the stuff you want to introduce into your life is healthier for you than a Double Big Gulp, don't get more of it than you can comfortably hold.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you surrender to the passive part of your personality, you will be whipped around by mood swings in the coming days. You will hem and haw, snivel and procrastinate, communicate ineptly, and be confused about what you really feel. If, on the other hand, you animate the proactive side of your personality, you are likely to correct sloppy arrangements that have kept you off-balance. You will heal rifts and come up with bright ideas about how to get the help you need. It's also quite possible you will strike a blow for justice and equality, and finally get the fair share you were cheated out of in the past.

Of course, it is not only enough to feature bed and bed covers. Even though, the bed is a cushion and puffy material, we cannot able to sleep as it is in the bed – right? If so, we do, we definitely address back pain or some other pain either sooner or later. In order to overcome those things, the pillow is something which we need to have for sure. Without having pillows, we cannot able to sleep comfortably and conveniently even though we used to sleep in either luxury beds or compact beds. But while comparing to having normal or plain texture pillows, it would be healthier and better to have embroidered pillows.
Unique One
We can find an infinite number of pillows for our home, but we cannot assure that all those pillows will improve our sleeping space. But, if you really want to enhance your bedding time and space, you should have something very rare in your bed. The only way to have such things is that, you should feature embroidered pillows without fail. Since, it is the kind of pillow which can give you a bunch of benefits. That is, it can soothe your neck and head while sleeping. And it can able to afford you a comfortable sleep. Finally, it can please your eyes and tempt you to sleep on those pillows if you have superb and unique embroideries in your pillows.
Whatever Embroideries
There are different types of embroideries are addressable in these embroidered pillows. That is, you could address bird's embroidery, flower embroidery, animals, insects and alphabet embroidery on the pillow. In case of decorating your children's room with these embroidery pillows, you could use alphabets, vowels and numbers embroidered on the pillow. This will make your children learn something very useful and also make them feel proud to have these kinds of pillows.

This project is a Sierra Leonean led opportunity for young people all over the world to inspire each other to action.
While we are young, we want to learn what it means to be active democratic citizens, taking up our responsibility and our right to make our voices heard for the good of our communities and the world.
We want to learn to say and to live the ideas behind this saying:
'How can I be happy when those around me are sad?'
Each week, we will work together in our various countries and schools and locations across the world and we will share our ideas by whatever means we are able and contribute to this site so that while we learn, we inspire others!
What will the outcome be?
- A video and gallery sharing the projects of all the contributing students from across the world. We will upload all contributions to this site as they come in but we will also do some compilations so that we can share on as many education and social media platforms as possible.
- We will endeavour to incorporate your contributions as soon as you make them available to us. It is great if we are working at the same time but we prefer you to participate later than not at all.
- Any age students who are interested. We have primary, secondary and some tertiary level students.
- The questions and stimuli materials are all in English and this is largely an English based platform, however, if you are able to mediate and your students can participate and you can send us an English summary / explanation of what they did, this can still be used to inspire other learners across the world.
- We hope that our students will continue to follow up with what they have started and be in a position to report back in creative ways once more after a term or six months.

Registered Charity No: 1146459 (England) Updated: 25th March 2020
British Music of the First World War, talk to Shipston Music Society
We tend to associate British Music of the First World War with songs such as Pack up your Troubles .., Its a long way to Tipperary etc. But as those who attended the talk given by local historian Tim Porter learned recently, classical music was also being composed throughout that terrible conflict, music that brought solace, inspiration and hope to an already musically literate nation.
This fascinating talk covered the music of Gustav Holst, Ivor Gurney, Edward Elgar, Ralph Vaughan Williams and John Foulds. The practicalities of composition made it hard for composers who were actively on duty. So ideas were stored up for future composition, for example Vaughan Williams whose Pastoral Symphony so subtly and atmospherically caught the desolation and horror of the Western Front. Then there was Ivor Gurney, already in 1914 a gifted musician and later on a poet, who incredibly was able to write in quiet moments between fighting battles.
here were others who didn't participate in the war but still reacted to it such as Gustav Holst whose Planets Suite was written partly before and partly during WW1 (paradoxically Mars, the bringer of War was written before the war – a premonition of things to come). Also reacting to the war – and this time contradicting it, Elgar wrote the music for The Starlight Express, a fantasy play which ran very successfully for weeks. Finally we learned of John Foulds' World Requiem, "A Cenotaph of Sound" and a call for pacifism for all nations, that was first performed on Armistice Day in 1923 and was performed with support of the Royal British Legion until 1926. (Interestingly it was only first heard in Germany in 2014.)
The talk, which was liberally supported by extracts from the composers, was much appreciated by members and guests of the Society.

National Rota Virus Update
24 October 2017
An Investigation into the effect of Rota virus on this year's racing
Many federations around the country have experienced very poor returns this year. Suggestions have been made that this could at least be partially due to the fact that most birds racing this year have recovered from an earlier Rota virus infection. Could the Rota virus be compromising these birds ability to race competitively and return ? A successful fancier contacted the clinic. In one of the federations early club races he had had the fastest velocity in the federation. This had been a short race of 150 miles and had been an easy, high velocity race with a tail wind . But now that the race distances were getting longer and had been head wind flys, he, like the majority of members was experiencing very poor returns. He presented birds to the clinic to have this investigated. As his experiences were typical of many members this was seen as a good opportunity to investigate if Rota was involved or not. Because of this , the Greater Melbourne Pigeon Federation partially funded the investigation.
CLICK HERE FOR DIRECT LINK TO MELBOURNE BIRD VET CLINIC DR COLIN WALKER Pigeon Virus Update
Excellent interview, definitely well worth listening too, skip the first 15 minutes. Runs for 2 hours.
here's the radio interview with Colin Walker click on linkbelow
How are we going to make the birds immune ?
Now that we appear to have a diagnosis we need to figure out a way of developing an immunity to Reo in Australian pigeons so that racing and showing can occur this year. When a new disease gets into a naïve population the effect of that disease can be fairly dramatic . As time goes by the population will start to build up an immunity and the signs associated with the disease will become more vague and less severe. It is likely therefore that the impact of Reo will be greatest in the next 2 – 3 years. It will always be with us but it is likely that its effect will be less in the future
I have today spoken to Dr Chris Morrow of Bioproperties and Dr Peter Scott of Scolexia and the CCEAD ( Consultative Committee of Emergency Animal Disease ).
A number of points have been raised
1/ There are no Reo vaccines available in Australia. A disease called Infectious Bursal Disease in chickens is caused by a different virus but one that does share some similar surface proteins. Despite this, it is thought that no cross immunity would develop if this vaccine was used in pigeons
2/Reo vaccines are available overseas. These could be imported under permit. It is thought unlikely however that these would confer protective immunity in Australian pigeons
3/ A Reo vaccine could be made in Australia. This is possible and has the advantage that it would be made from the strain of Reo virus that is here. This is currently our best option. I have 2 companies in mind and will speak to each of them the first day that they reopen after the Xmas break
4/ Interferon development - interferon is a substance produced by the body either in response to viral infection or vaccination. Once produced interferon can help to protect the body against other viruses for a short time, usually about 2 weeks. It may be that vaccinating with a live vaccine, for example PMV ND4 in the face of an outbreak will reduce the severity of the disease and deaths caused by Reo virus. This may also occur after Salmonella vaccination, but it is thought that immune mediators such as interferon produced after vaccination for a bacterial disease may not be as effective as that produced after vaccination against a viral disease in this situation. Two WA fanciers who had recently vaccinated against Salmonella did however have much lower death rates in their birds than other fanciers
5/ As mentioned in yesterday's post, the ability of some viruses to penetrate the bowel, enter the body and cause disease is affected by the population of bowel bacteria. There is anecdotal evidence that treating birds at the start of an outbreak with antibiotics may reduce the number of deaths
What to do if you think the virus has entered your loft
In the longer term the answer will be to make sure that your birds are vaccinated against Reo and don't get sick in the first place but in the mean time
1/Start a course of Sulpha AVS (or another brand of trimethoprim/ sulphadiazine ) 3 grams to 4 L of water or enrofloxacin (eg "Baytril " or "Enrotril " 5 – 10 ml per L for 5 days ( at least )
2 /Consider vaccination with NDV 4 or Bioproperties Salmonella Vaccine
3/ Practice general good care ( as most of us do all the time anyway ) ie good hygiene, nutritious diet, no overcrowding particularly of babies, good parasite control, treat any diagnosed ( ie identified through accurate testing ) concurrent health problems in the loft. The aim here is simply to get the birds as healthy as we can so that they are best able to resist the virus. There is no need for dietary and other supplements if the above criteria are met.
I spoke to Agri Bio yesterday and the Electron Microscopy done at AAHL revealed large numbers of viral particles. Their appearance under the microscope is very suggestive of a Reo virus. The viral cultures are continuing and molecular techniques such as next generation gene sequencing are being organised to complete the viral ID process. It is probably not until the middle of the first week in January ( which is not that long ) until more information will be available. It is now only 10 days since our first cases in Victoria. Dr David Phalen of Sydney University, Dr Amir Noorohammadi of Melbourne University, the staff at AgriBio and AAHL and the office of Victoria's Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr Charles Milne, are all to be congratulated on the amazingly rapid progression of events
What is Reo Virus?
Reo viruses are widespread and are commonly found in many types of birds including chickens. In many cases it is hard to determine their importance . Sometimes they are there but appear not to be causing disease. Some Reo viruses however have been implicated in disease outbreaks. Reo viruses have been associated with disease in pigeons in Europe , China , South Africa and other countries. AgriBio are fairly confident that the virus they are seeing on the EM images is a Reo but have suggested that at the moment the diagnosis is only provisional. A definitive diagnosis will be made once the viral cultures and gene sequencing are complete. There are no Reo vaccines in Australia. There are however vaccines for similar viruses that may confer some cross immunity. We are seeking the advice of some vaccine specialists
Is the use of PMV vaccine in some way linked to the current problem?
The short answer is absolutely not. One of the principle aims of the 18 month PMV vaccine trial that was conducted in 2013 was to ensure that the suggested vaccine protocol did the pigeons no harm. None could be demonstrated. The test results passed the rigorous standards of the APVMA enabling Pfizer to register the vaccine for use in pigeons. The trial was also published in the prestigious peer reviewed Australian Veterinary Journal. These ultimate authorities were happy with the conclusions that the suggested protocol was not harmful to pigeons and conferred strong immunity. The killed La Sota based vaccine used in Australia is used in many counties around the world including the UK and USA.
Well congratulations to Dr Walker for bringing some clarity to what is happening to our pigeons around the country. For those that are confused I will try and make it as clear as possible in a summary of his radio interview.
1. 7 months were wasted with WA choosing to send birds to Sydney for diagnosis. Misdiagnosis occurred and an opportunity to have a vaccine ready to protect other states was lost.
2. Dr Walker requested birds be sent to him to do his own valuation, but by then the virus had passed through in the recognised 7 days and there were no birds available for intensive study.
3. Adeno is one of many viruses in Australian pigeons previously diagnosed, and was not here for the first time.
4. WA officials have moved too slowly in the preparation of information, and after 7 months the final report has not been prepared.
5. The classification this is a reovirus is not yet confirmed, but considered incredibly likely to be reovirus by all parties investigating.
6. Development of a vaccine is anticipated to be a relatively easy process, and it may be completed in time for birds to commence racing safely in 2017.
7. The vaccine will be cheap, and may be simply given to the birds via water.
8. The use of a live Newcastle Disease virus vaccine if you believe your birds may be infected with reovirus, may trigger an ability to fight off the reovirus, lasting around 2 weeks.
9. The early use of antibiotics on the birds appears to have the ability to help the number of birds process the virus without dying.
10. Nothing given to the pigeons, including "bath water", has any effect on stopping the birds dying. That is happening automatically at around 7 days anyway.
11. No pigeon has died from bacterial infection. All have died from the virus. So treatment with a host of products is not impacting the deaths stopping in the slightest.
12. Because flyers have not undertaken correct diagnostics, despite what their vet has told them, there is a high likelihood some lofts did not have the virus as the cause of deaths in their loft.
13. Dr Walker is very confident this virus did not come to Australia via imported birds.
14. Most virus spread occurs because of wild birds.
15. Funds will need to be raised to complete testing over the next 18 months, but it is likely the same situation will occur with the vaccine manufacturer using the associated diagnostic reports to support the registration of their product, and will purchase the report as occurred with PMV.
16. Many veterinarians, and avian scientists have donated their time to researching the nature of this virus, and we should be appreciative of their generosity.
17. Birds will remain infectious for up to 10 months. However nobody asked Dr Walker why the introduced imports and new stock to WA lofts have not recorded one death. That remains an unanswered mystery.
18. This virus is highly infectious, but highly unlikely to be airborne. More likely spread through water or the movement of fine dropping dust from infected birds on clothes or shoes.
19. Flyers are caught in a quandry. Lock their birds up and they won't be able to race. Release their birds for exercise and there is a chance it may come to the loft. Be diligent about trapping, and isolate strays and late arriving birds. Let your birds out if the virus is not in a loft near you, but be wary if you are close to an infected loft. Remember water and dust spread is the cause, not just having a bird join yours.
20. If a vaccine is not ready for the Victorian race season, chances are racing may not proceed.

From:Colin Walker
To:'Stephen and Rhonda Kearsey
Hi Stephen
For the websites
"A readily transmissible viral disease has been identified in racing pigeons in Victoria this week. Affected lofts experience mortality rates of approximately 30 %.
Initial testing has ruled out Adeno, PMV and Herpes virus infections. The virus is likely, however, to be the same virus that affected WA racing lofts earlier this year.
Testing has identified a number of virus' as possible causes with one in particular being most likely. It may be that some poultry vaccines will be able to protect pigeons. Diagnostic work continues.
In the meantime every effort should be made to avoid the movement of birs between lofts. Some fanciers may wish to keep their birds locked down. Similarly flyers should avoid visiting other lofts. Further information will be posted as soon as it is available.
Affected birds develop green diarrhoea, start to vomit , become hunched and usually die within 24 hours. Fanciers who think their birds may have the disease should contact the Melbourne Bird Veterinary Clinic on 03 9764 9000"
For distribution to those present at the meeting
PLAN and AIMS
1,Short term
Control of spread of virus—strict biosecurity, no inter-loft movement of bird or fanciers
2,Medium term
ID virus
Develop tentative vaccine protocol
3,Long term
Vaccine trial?
I thought it was a very good meeting.

Google has been on a mission to make the web more secure. This is not the first announcement of this kind. Google is also including the use of https as a search ranking factor. Forcing website owners to use a secure connection makes the entire web more secure, and makes people more comfortable with interacting online.
This first change will be relatively subtle and it is likely some users may not notice the change. This non-https warning will become red in future releases, similar to how a broken SSL displays today. When this occurs it will be very difficult not to notice.
If your website does not have an SSL, it is time to get one. There are a number of benefits to having an SSL and the cost for standard SSLs has dropped substantially in the past few years. Don't wait for this change to be fully implemented. There are already search and security benefits to having an SSL. Contact your web developer and get one installed today.
Load your website in a browser. Look to see if you have a green lock icon in the address bar. Depending on the web browser you use, you might see a different image, but it should be something along the lines of a green lock, a green https, or the word 'secure.' If you don't see this on your site, make sure to check pages that previously have required an SSL such as a payment form or checkout page. If you do not notice an SSL indicator, it is likely you do not have one. If you are unsure, feel free to reach out and we can help validate this.
If you know you pay for an SSL but you're still seeing the warning, it is likely the SSL is not being used on all pages of your website. A website can have an SSL installed, but optionally not use it. In the past, it was common for developers to only use the https / SSL connection at the point it was required, such as making a payment or logging in. If this is the case for your website, you can reach out to your web developer and ask them to load all pages through a secure connection. If you need assistance we're happy to help.
If your website is not using a secure connection, we can help. Our team has 15 years of experience in web security. We can work with you to transition your website to a secure connection that will comply with all modern browsers and standards.Get Help Today

It looks like Dougie's is planning on opening up a location in Great Neck where the short-lived 2012 Cafe once had their shop. Good luck to them! We will let you know more details as they come to us.

Does anyone know anything about this 2012 Cafe in Great Neck? This awning has been up for a while but I can't seem to find any more information about it other than the rumor that it is going to be a "bootlegged Carlos and Gabby's". If you know anything please drop us a line in the comments!
PS. The awning has a picture of a burger, fries, and a pita so we will assume it is a burger joint.

…And then sometimes you're like, totally hooking up with a guy, and you're feeling pretty hopeful about the evening because he's pretty cute and he's got a totally "rockin' bod,"* and things are getting a little hotter and a little less clothed…
…and then you discover that under his jeans, he's wearing a pair of Batman pyjama pants.
And you get that it's winter in Canada and everything, but still.
And you don't let it stop you, but let's just say it becomes the only memorable thing about the evening.
Sometimes people just aren't what you're expecting.
P.S. This didn't happen tonight, but a few years ago. Don't get all excited. Don't call me for "the dish."** I assure you I still have no life.
P.P.S. If you try to steal this story, I will find you and kill you, because I lived through it, so I'm going to try to find a way to work it into every movie or TV show or novel or whatever I ever write. So copyright me and all that jazz.
P.P.P.S. Sorry, Mom.
*I would never actually use this phrase to describe anybody.
**Another phrase I would never actually use. Like, omg.
EDITED TO ADD: Guys, guys – context is everything. Don't get me wrong: I am a self-proclaimed geek, and I love comic book superheroes like crazy. On the right guy in the right context, this story would have impacted me very differently. A sexy nerdy dude like Nathan Fillion or Danny Pudi wearing them? Awesome. This guy? Hilarious.

Classes IGNITE offers
Little Sparks
Little Sparks represents classes for 2.5 to 4.5 year olds that are brand new to dance. Classes will be offered in both ballet and hip hop at this age.
Ballet is the foundation of technical dance training. It involves slow controlled movements and allows the dancer to develop strength and grace.
We use an R.A.D. syllabus to guide our dancers through learning ballet vocabulary. Students may also participate in graded exams upon instructor recommendation.
Ballet Variations is an extension of the ballet program. In this class the students will have the opportunity to explore ballet from a much broader context. Students will learn variations from professional ballets, or expand into contemporary and modern variations from a ballet platform.
Jazz is an upbeat dance genre that calls for sharp and energetic movements. Jazz classes will also have a focus on developing strong dance technique and is a great compliment to ballet training.
Lyrical is a great compliment to ballet training much like jazz. It is a dance genre that interprets the lyrics of a song through movement. It is a style of dance filled with emotion and expression.
Hip Hop
Hip Hop is an exciting and energetic dance style. This dance genre helps develop isolations and style. This class will involve old school hip hop, video style choreography, and touch on other techniques such as popping and locking, house, and break dancing.
Pointe is an extension of ballet dance which requires exceptional strength and flexibility. This class will be offered by teacher recommendation only.
Acro is a style of dance where you learn tumbling tricks such as cartwheels, round offs, front walkovers, back walkovers and aerials.
Musical Theatre
Musical Theatre combines skills of dancing, singing, acting, lip syncing and characterization. Students will learn essential performance skills and learn routines from a variety of classic musicals.

By Yasser Latif Hamdani
What I am about to write may hurt my Indian friends and I am sorry. There are crooks, cranks and madmen in every country including India and there is no exaggeration in what I write. I am merely writing from the heart as I always do.
Much has been said about the Indian Premier League's decision to leave out Pakistani cricketers in the year that Pakistan is the defending World Twenty20 Cricket Champion. Indians have come up with the stupidest excuses – excuses that cannot and should not make sense to any reasonable person. But then we are not dealing with reasonable people.
Forgive me for being harsh, but the truth is that Indians today are drunk with power and acting like the world's newly rich. All of a sudden a hitherto mal-nourished and largely backward people through no fault of their own, mired in religious superstition and other such meandering parochialisms, find themselves sitting on a lot of wealth (or so they think) primarily – though not completely- because they have perfected the fine art and exact science of geometric population multiplication. In the process they have learnt to use terms that they have not arrived at organically – secularism, democracy, economy- etc but as events repeatedly show are clever ploys to claim a stake in the world. A few hours after the world trade center bombing, I ran into a few Indians in New Jersey and shared my feelings of profound sorrow with them. They responded with one line "America is finished now- India is the next world super power"- Again and Again I ran into Indians who repeated the same line to me . To me this response sums up the Indian uber-nationalist psyche for better or for worse. Ofcourse this is not to suggest that there aren't any fine Indians- many manyIndians are genuine humanists and liberal secularists. They are not driving Indian policy however.
When Mumbai happened (and Pakistan mind you has had its fairshare of Mumbais too- many of which can be traced to India as well according to Pakistan's government), India's intelligentsia on a power-trip began to strategise how to hurt Pakistan and destroy it. These are not random Zaid Hamid like offbase characters or Kashifiat type Jamaat-e-Islami crazies who are laughable at best. Take a look at this brilliant professor at the IIM who wrote this ridiculous piece . India's crook, cranks and madmen are ordinary respectable members of society. It is this thinking that is behind IPL franchises opting out of choosing Pakistani players. (One must take heart from the fact that Indian captain said in 2009 WT20 that India would win the tournament because all its cricketers play in the IPL. Pakistan ended up winning the tournament without even a single player playing in the IPL that year).
The irony is that many Pakistanis don't understand just how far we have squandered our natural advantage over India. If there was ever a country in the subcontinent that had the potential of being a first world country, it was Pakistan. Pakistan is a naturally resource-rich country which is also at the crossroads of world's energy and commercial transport hubs. Despite our many failures, we have a growing middle class, a free media and a growing consciousness which will transform Pakistan into a modern democracy. We do however need to throw out this unnatural obsession with religion. We should also sue for peace with India but as the IPL has proved abundantly, we need to look in all directions.
If we can put our house in order , Pakistan has the potential and ability to outdo India in every field and stand. Everyone other than Pakistanis themselves knows it. Indians know it and this is why you find so many Indian trolls baiting and abusing Pakistanis on Pakistani websites. In the information age – catching up will never be the problem but first we have to make up our minds. Do we want to live respectably with our heads held high? That would mean hard choices – one of which is to do away with our own crooks, cranks and madmen who have kept us mired in pipedreams and shadows.
The question is who is going to bell the cat? No instead we shall continue to persecute our minorities, let the mullahs lead us astray and watch ridiculous Indian fillums like 3 Idiots as a national past-time.
