A huge lineup of music artists braved the cold and came out to perform today, (Nov. 22) at the 2018 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Now in its 92nd year, today's time-honored holiday event s officially the coldest on record, parade co-host Al Roker reported.
More than 3.5 million people gather to see the parade live in New York City each year, and more than 50 million TV viewers watch it in homes nationwide. NBC has been broadcasting the parade since 1948 and this year, Roker, Savannah Guthrie, and Hoda Kotb co-hosted the festivities.
Kids everywhere undoubtedly loved watching all the colorful balloons and floats travel along the parade's two-and-a-half mile route, which included a brand-new Goku balloon from Dragon Ball, the Sesame Street float, Diary of a Wimpy kid balloon, and of course, the guest of honor, Santa Claus!
Adding to the magic of the world-renowned entertainment extravaganza is performances from a spectacular roster of music superstars. A list of our picks for the seven best musical moments from the 2018 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is listed below.
7. Barenaked Ladies "One Week"
Barenaked Ladies celebrates their 30th anniversary this year. The Canadian rockers celebrated the milestone by performing their smash hit "One Week" while riding atop the King's Hawaiian Aloha Spirit float. The confetti-erupting volcano added a fun backdrop to their fantastic performance.
6. Pentatonix – "Where Are You, Christmas?"
Grammy-winning a cappella group Pentatonix is known for their shimmering takes on classic Christmas songs, as well as their own original holiday tunes. The group rode on the Entenmann's bakery float and their "Where Are You, Christmas?" performance could not have been sweeter! The song is featured in the "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" 2000 movie and appears as a cover on Pentatonix's 2018 holiday album, Christmas is Here! The song's message about love being the true meaning of Christmas is beautiful.
5. Martina McBride – "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"
Martina McBride has such a lovely voice and she delivered a magical rendition of the beloved Christmas classic song "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." There may not be a better song to get everyone in the holiday spirit. Plus, she rode on the Balsam Hill float, which was a gorgeous display of all things Christmas, right down to the twirling reindeer merry-go-round!
4. Kane Brown – "Good As You"
Kane Brown is one of the hottest rising country stars right now. His second studio album, Experiment, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. He sang his latest single, "Good As You," while riding the Mount Rushmore float. The song was upbeat and fun, despite the freezing temps and Brown delivered the song with his incomparable smile.
3. Sugarland – "Babe"
Sugarland fans are thrilled with the duo's reunion for their first album in eight years, Bigger. They performed the album's second single, "Babe," which was co-written by Taylor Swift and Pat Monahan from Train. Swift's vocals are featured on the record. The "Delicate" singer-songwriter wasn't at the parade performance. But, her part was piped in via the backing track. Jennifer Nettles arguably has one of the best female voices in country music and it was great to see her and Kristian Bush back together for the parade.
2. Brynn Cartelli – "Walk My Way"
Brynn Cartelli made history as the youngest champion "The Voice." She notably brought newbie coach Kelly Clarkson all the way home to a season 14 win. Cartelli sang her "Voice" coronation single, "Walk My Way" while riding on the Universal Kids jungle-gym themed float. She did a fabulous job for her first parade performance and her energy was infectious.
1. Kelly Clarkson – "Heat"
Kelly Clarkson was such a trooper, belting her powerhouse vocals in her ironically-titled track "Heat" at the parade. She was bundled in a black coat and gloves and poured everything she had into the performance. "Heat" hails from her latest album Meaning of Life. It was totally obvious she was singing it live and as usual, she just smashed it and gets our pick for the best music performance of the 2018 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Watch a clip of her performance below.

Three Qaeda suspects killed in Yemen drone attack
DUBAI - Three suspected Al-Qaeda members were killed in an apparent US drone strike in Yemen's jihadist-held southeastern port city of Mukalla, a local official said on Wednesday.
The drone "fired four missiles on three Al-Qaeda militants sitting near the port of Mukalla, killing them immediately" late on Tuesday, said the official.
The strike killed a "leading figure" within Al-Qaeda, the official said, without disclosing his name.
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has exploited months of fighting in Yemen between Iran-backed rebels and the beleaguered Saudi-backed government to consolidate its grip on Hadramawt's provincial capital Mukalla -- a city of more than 200,000.
The United States considers AQAP to be the extremist group's deadliest global franchise and regularly targets its militants with armed drone strikes on Yemeni territory.
It is the only government that operates the unmanned aircraft over the impoverished country.

You can do a lot worse than a steakhouse if you're going to eat out on the ketogenic diet. As the name implies, Outback offers a lot of meat-based dishes, which you can order with low-carb vegetables or a side salad to meet your macronutrient needs. But you'll still need to know how to order these foods correctly without sneaky ingredients to prevent accidentally sabotaging your low-carb diet.
While we always recommend eating at home using high-quality ingredients whenever possible, Outback Steakhouse is an excellent place to go if your friends or family insist on eating out and ask you for recommendations.
As a chain restaurant, you'll want to keep in mind that the quality of meats are not as good as what you could purchase at the grocery store. But overall, you'll find a low of low-carb dishes at Outback to meet your ketogenic needs at least for one meal.
Here's what and how to order at Outback if you're following a low-carb diet.
Tips for Ordering At Outback Steakhouse
Most people who go out to eat at restaurants do it for the social experience and not necessarily to get a good meal. If you're new to the ketogenic or really want to make your low-carb diet work, then stick to home cooked meals and snacks.
The best way to fuel your ketogenic diet is by picking out high-quality, organic ingredients at the grocery store and preparing them at home. This allows you to have complete control over what goes in your body.
It's best to avoid eating at chain restaurants if you can. While you can get a really fresh cut of meat and locally grown organic vegetables at some privately-owned restaurants, you'll be hard pressed to find anything even remotely close at a franchise restaurant including fast food.
Outback Steakhouse and other chain restaurants don't particularly pay attention to ingredients. This means that your steak or burger might be made from 100 percent never-frozen beef, but it won't be organic, grass-fed or pasture raised. Your eggs, cheese, chicken, and fish will also be conventionally-raised.
Finally, chain restaurants tend to be more focused on providing tasty food for as cheap as possible. They use shortcuts such as cooking in vegetable oil instead of coconut or olive oil when preparing your food.
Franchise restaurants also know that they can distract you by smothering a low-quality piece of meat in breading and sauce, and offering you unlimited French fries or one dollar cocktails.
If you find yourself in need of food and a chain restaurant is your only option, then obviously it's best to pick Outback over a place like Domino's Pizza, but you'll want to follow our tips to make sure you keep it low-carb.
Top Lowest Carb Dishes at Outback
Here are the top lowest carb dishes that you can order at Outback, based on the website's nutrition information:
- Grilled chicken brisbane caesar salad (0 grams of carbs)
- No Rules Salad with Grilled ahi tuna, shrimp or chicken (0 grams of carbs)
- Bone in natural cut ribeye or chargrilled ribeye (0 grams carbs)
- New York Strip steak (0 grams stead)
- Steak sirloin (0 grams carbs)
- Filet mignon (0 grams carbs)
- Pork porterhouse (0 grams carbs)
- Lobster tail entree (1 gram carbs)
Here are some other tips you can follow to keep it low-carb.
#1. Ask for dry meat
Ordering steak at a steakhouse seems like a no-brainer, but you'll want to be careful with added sauces if you're trying to keep it low-carb. A plate full of ribs sounds like a great way to fuel up until you consider the BBQ sauce that it's covered in, which is enough to kick you out of ketosis if you eat enough of it.
We recommend going with one of Outback's many steak options and asking to keep your meat dry by holding all sauces. Outback should be able to dry rub your steak with lots of flavorful herbs and spices in place of sugar-laden sauces. If you're worried that the meat will taste dry, then ask for an extra helping of butter to help keep it juicy.
#2. Watch out for starchy sides
Steak and potatoes go hand-in-hand, but not if you're on a ketogenic or low-carb diet. While it's important to focus on what goes on your steak, you'll also want to pay attention to what comes with it as a side dish.
In place of a potato or macaroni and cheese, ask for steamed vegetables or a side house salad made with oil and vinegar dressing instead (no croutons). Outback offers a fresh seasonal veggies mix that features steamed broccoli, squash, and carrots served in butter. They also have grilled asparagus that is tossed in olive oil and cooked over a wood-fire grill.
Note: if you're eating low-carb, then these veggies are just fine. But if you're on the ketogenic diet, then you'll want to stick to steamed broccoli or asparagus only and hold the squash and carrots.
#3. Don't ruin it on an appetizer
It's very easy to blow a low-carb meal on an appetizer or soup that you don't need. If you ordered a meat-based dish with steamed veggies, then we recommend asking for a side salad so that you don't get tempted to share in the bloomin' onion that your party ordered, which is famous at Outback.
Ordering a side salad first gives you something to munch on while the rest of your table indulges in something unhealthy. It also gives you a good opportunity to get more greens in your diet. This is something many people on the ketogenic diet tend to forget about!
#4. Stay away from "specials."
During your next outing at Outback, try not to become tempted by one of the many special deals they have and stick with something off the regular menu instead.
For example, if you make it there on Wednesday, then you'll be offered a deal where you can get a six-ounce center cut sirloin or grilled chicken on the barbie, French fries, and a small beer for only $9.99. This sounds like a great deal, but if you're on a low-carb diet, then you can't have the French fries or beer anyway.
They also offer a steak and unlimited shrimp dish. Just remember that shrimp contains a lot of protein and very little fat so make sure you don't overeat. Plus, no one needs to eat an unlimited amount of food anyway, even if it is low-carb.
Keep your portion sizes small and go with a meal that fits your macronutrient needs so you don't walk out of there feeling worse than you did when you came in. You can always check out the Outback Steakhouse nutrition menu on their website.
What To Order at Outback Steakhouse
Most Outback's are open from about 11 AM until 10 PM, which means that you'll probably be eating there for lunch, dinner, or maybe even a midday snack. We've studied the menu and come up with a list of the safest low-carb dishes you can eat.
We'll also tell you how to order them to make sure they are as clean as possible. You can use our lunch and dinner suggestions interchangeably or even when you just need a quick snack in between meals.
Appetizers Options
- Kookaburra wings (order these wings without any sauce)
- Wood-fired grilled shrimp on the barbie (get these without the bread)
- Seared peppered Ahi tuna (get this without the spicy slaw or ginger soy sauce)
Lunch Options
- Side salad (no croutons; ask for oil and vinegar dressing)
- Aussie Cobb salad (no croutons; ask for oil and vinegar dressing)
- Brisbane Caesar salad (no croutons; ask for oil and vinegar dressing if you're strict keto as the Caesar dressing may contain sugar)
- Steakhouse salad (no cinnamon pecans, Aussie crunch, or Danish blue cheese dressing; ask for oil and vinegar instead)
- Blue cheese wedge salad (hold the blue cheese dressing and sweet balsamic glaze; get oil and vinegar dressing instead or eat dry)
- Blue cheese chopped pecan salad (hold the cinnamon pecans, Aussie crunch and blue cheese dressing; get oil and vinegar instead)
Steaks Options
Order all steaks with a side house salad made with oil and vinegar dressing and no croutons; get a side of grilled asparagus instead of the potato:
- Victoria's Filet Mignon
- Ayers Rock NY Strip
- Outback center-cut sirloin
- Melbourne porterhouse
- Ribeye
- Bone-in natural cut ribeye
- Slow-roasted prime rib (make sure the herb-crust contains no gluten or breading)
- Roasted garlic filet medallions
- Sirloin and grilled shrimp on the barbie
- Filet mignon and lobster
Bonus tip: get these steaks topped with roasted garlic butter and sauteed mushrooms for added flavor. Stay away from the smoking bacon bourbon topping.
Burgers Options
Order all burgers without the bun or sauce; ask for a side house salad made with oil and vinegar dressing instead of fries:
- The bloomin' burger (hold the bloomin' onion petals and spicy signature bloom sauce)
- The outback burger
- Grass-fed burger with aged-cheddar (hold the garlic aioli)
- Steakhouse Philly (hold the steakhouse cheese sauce and stick with melted cheddar instead)
- Sweet chook o' mine sandwich (no honey mustard sauce)
- Boomerang cheeseburger
Dinner Options
Order all entrees with fresh seasonal veggies, steamed broccoli, or grilled asparagus; hold the potato:
- Parmesan herb crusted chicken (do NOT order if this dish is breaded)
- Grilled chicken on the barbie (hold the BBQ sauce)
- Alice springs chicken (hold the honey mustard sauce)
- Baby back ribs or Junior ribs (ask for these dry and do not eat the BBQ sauce if it comes as a side)
- Joey sirloin
- Port porterhouse
- Drover's ribs and chicken platter (ask for no sauce on the ribs)
- Bacon bourbon salmon (this is OK to order if you hold the bourbon glaze)
- Perfectly grilled salmon
- Lobster tails
Foods To Avoid at Outback Steakhouse
Although you can custom order just about any dish at Outback to make it low-carb, the following meals are either breaded, loaded with sugar, or come with too many unhealthy options to work with. We recommend avoiding the following dishes and sticking with something on the safe list.
- Bloomin' onion and bloom petals
- Aussie cheese fries
- Volcano shrimp
- Alice springs chicken quesadilla
- Steakhouse quesadilla
- Crab cakes
- Steakhouse mac and cheese bites
- Gold coast coconut shrimp
- Sydney shrooms
- Aussie signature sampler
- All soups (baked potato, French onion, and chicken tortilla)
- Sirloin and gold coast coconut shrimp
- Chicken tender platter and chicken fingers
- Queensland chicken and shrimp pasta
- Hand breaded shrimp
- Tilapia with pure lump crab meat (we're not sure what's in the "crab stuffing," so we're going to sit this dish out and suggest you order something else instead)
- Crispy chicken sandwich
- All desserts
- Grilled cheese-a-roo
- Mac-a-roo and cheese
- All juice, milk, and soda drinks
- Fresh fruit (avoid this if you're on the keto diet)
If you're forced to eat out while on a low-carb or ketogenic diet, then a steakhouse is probably one of your best options. However, we recommend eating at home using high-quality ingredients whenever possible, especially if you're new to the ketogenic diet.
If you find yourself in need of food and Outback is your only option, then we recommend going with one of their many steak options and pairing it with a side of steamed broccoli or grilled asparagus. For a tasty treat, ask to have your steak topped with roasted garlic butter to enhance the flavor.
No matter what meat-based dish you order at Outback, be sure to ask for it dry to avoid sugar-laden sauces that could accidentally sabotage your low-carb diet. You'll also want to stay away from crispy chicken dishes (there are only a few) and starchy sides, such as macaroni and cheese and potatoes.
You can also get a bunless and sauceless burger and pair it with a side house salad minus the croutons. Ask for oil and vinegar dressing instead of house dressing.
Finally, if you're new to keto, don't forget to check out our meal plans and food list.

Severe Weather Snags Southeastern Travel
Impacting Travel Donald Wood April 05, 2017
UPDATE: 3:45 p.m. ET 4/5/2017
The official Twitter account of Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport provided an updated on the ground stop and subsequent flight delays:
Ground stop has been lifted, but there are still delays due to weather. Please check with your airlines directly on flight times.— Atlanta Airport (@ATLairport) April 5, 2017
Original Text
After storms ravaged the Southeast to start the week, a tornado watch is now in effect from the northern Gulf Coast to western Georgia, especially causing travel headaches for those at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
According to the official website of the Federal Aviation Administration, a ground stop has been issued at the Atlanta Airport for all inbound and outbound flights due to the severe weather in the area.
Weather.com is reporting hail has been seen falling throughout the region while strong winds have uprooted trees and knocked down power lines. The FAA has said the ground stop is expected to expire early Wednesday afternoon, but could be extended if the weather does not improve.
The storm system is forecasted to begin heading northeast Wednesday night into Thursday, with states in the mid-Atlantic dealing with heavy rain, thunderstorms and even tornado warnings as well.
The official Twitter account of Hartsfield–Jackson Airport is providing updates and asking travelers to check with their airlines before heading to the facility:
Good morning. Inclement weather through the day may impact operations at ATL. Please check your flight status with your airline.— Atlanta Airport (@ATLairport) April 5, 2017
Due to severe weather, the FAA has issued a ground stop. Please check back here for further updates. @FAANews— Atlanta Airport (@ATLairport) April 5, 2017
There are currently delayed arrivals and departures here at ATL. Storms are passing. Please check back for updates.— Atlanta Airport (@ATLairport) April 5, 2017
The flight delays in Atlanta, which is the headquarters of Delta Air Lines, are having a ripple effect on other regional airports as well. Tallahassee International Airport in Florida is also reporting several delays on journeys to Atlanta's main airport, according to WCTV.com.
The FAA is also reporting sporadic delays at Charlotte Douglas International Airport due to the adverse weather conditions and issues at other airports in the Southeast. As the storm continues moving up the East Coast, other facilities such as Raleigh-Durham International Airport could be impacted as well.
In a separate weather-related situation, a low ceiling in New York is causing slight delays at LaGuardia Airport, according to the FAA.

Introduction: Conventional Current Vs Electron Flow
To see more from me, subscribe to Simply Electronics on YouTube.
Leave your comments or video suggestions here or on YouTube. and they may be considered for a video.
An explanation of conventional current vs Electron Flow. Two ways of representing current flow in a circuit.
Electron Flow (Electrons flowing from negative to positive) is the True correct way from a physics stand-point. However, Since the early days of discovery, people thought current flowed in the opposite direction (From Positive to Negative). Because of this, Symbols, and Circuit Diagrams have always been drawn to suit Conventional current flow.
This is why all my future videos will use conventional current flow, because the symbols for components where polarity matters can become confusing if conventional current flow is not used.
All videos I have done up to this point are still 100% correct. The only change is the direction of current to ensure symbols properly match the representation.

"Electron Flow (Electrons flowing from negative to positive) is the True correct way from a physics stand-point." Not quite, physics equations almost always assume conventional current, for example most statements of Maxwell's Equations. Saying electron flow is the correct way is similar to saying they got the charge on the electron wrong, it should be positive. Think about it.
By physics stand-point I don't mean the study and notation of physics and equations, I simply mean from a physics stand-point itself, the way electrons actually operate in the physical world, Not how they are noted in physics equations. As you stated, equations "assume" conventional current. My only point being that physically, electrons move in the opposite direction.
That is correct in situations where the current is carried by electrons, which is usually the case in metallic and semiconductors ( except there is also the concept of the positive "hole" ). In solutions and plasma the particle carrying charge may have a positive charge. If you believe in displacement current there is no charge at all.

Bigg Boss 11 house has witnessed fights and controversies right from its first episode. Puneesh Sharma and Bandgi Kalra managed to give a love angle to the show with their romantic talks and sweet gestures for each other. But, it seems that the couple has a new competition in the house. Yes, internet sensation Dhinchak Pooja and Luv Tyagi seems to like each other. In the yesterday's episode housemates were seen having discussion on this.
Hina Khan revealed that Luv likes Pooja and the latter also stated to Arshi Khan that she has also developed fondness for the padosi. This is known to all that Arshi is a gossipmonger. So, the lady told Priyank Sharma and Bandgi what Pooja said.
Priyank then told lovebirds Bandgi and Puneesh that they have new competition in the house. Is this just a joke or viewers will finally get to see Pooja singing some songs for Luv? Well, people will get to know this in the coming time.
One thing that is sure is that if this happens then the show will reach to some other level of entertainment.
Recently, Puneesh's picture with Bandgi's beau Denis Nagpal started doing the rounds on social media. Thus, it is being said that their romance was pre-planned.

|Case definitions revision
Infectious Agent
- Rubella virus is a togavirus of the genus Rubivirus.
Notification Criteria - Rubella
Both confirmed cases and probable cases should be notified.
Confirmed case
A confirmed case requires laboratory definitive evidence only.
Laboratory definitive evidence
Isolation of rubella virus
Detection of rubella virus by nucleic acid testing
IgG seroconversion or a significant increase in antibody level or a fourfold or greater rise in titre to rubella virus in the absence of recent rubella vaccination. The results must be established by the testing of paired sera in parallel.
Detection of rubella-specific IgM, in the absence of recent rubella vaccination*. (Note that in pregnant women, the result needs to be confirmed in a reference laboratory**).
Probable case
A probable case requires:
Clinical evidence
Laboratory suggestive evidence OR epidemiological evidence.
Clinical Evidence
A generalised maculopapular rash
arthralgia/arthritis OR lymphadenopathy OR conjunctivitis.
Epidemiological evidence
An epidemiological link is established when there is:
contact between two people involving a plausible mode of transmission at a time when:
a) one of them is likely to be infectious (about 1 week before to at least 4 days after appearance of rash)
b) the other has an illness that starts within 14 to 23 (usually 14 to 17) days after this contact
at least one case in the chain of epidemiologically linked cases (which may involve many cases) is laboratory confirmed.
Laboratory suggestive evidence
In a pregnant patient, detection of rubella-specific IgM that has not been confirmed in a reference laboratory, in the absence of recent rubella vaccination.**
*see also Laboratory Aspects section.
**The need for confirmation in a reference laboratory is part of the national case definition. In Queensland, Pathology Queensland, QML and S&N all use EIA for rubella IgM. Each of these is considered a valid IgM result without need for testing in another lab. However, consideration should be given to the likelihood of false positive IgM, particularly in a pregnant woman. Please refer to the Laboratory Aspects section for more details.
Notification Criteria - Congenital Rubella Infection
Congenital rubella infection is reported based on relevant evidence from a live or stillborn infant, miscarriage or pregnancy termination. Congenital rubella syndrome is reported as a subset of congenital rubella infection.
Both confirmed cases and probable cases should be notified.
Confirmed case
A confirmed case requires laboratory definitive evidence (fetal).
Laboratory definitive evidence (infant) AND epidemiological evidence.
Laboratory definitive evidence
Isolation or detection of rubella virus from an appropriate clinical sample (i.e. fetal blood or tissue, amniotic fluid, chorionic villus sample) by culture or nucleic acid testing.
Isolation or detection of rubella virus from an appropriate clinical sample in an infant, by culture or nucleic acid testing.
Detection of rubella-specific IgM antibody in the serum of the infant.
Epidemiological evidence
The mother has confirmed rubella infection during pregnancy (see definition for Rubella – non-congenital).
Probable case
A probable case requires:
Epidemiological evidence (1st trimester infection).
Epidemiological evidence (2nd and 3rd trimester infection) AND laboratory suggestive evidence (infant).
Laboratory suggestive evidence
High / rising rubella-specific IgG level in first year of life.
Notification Criteria - Congenital Rubella Syndrome
Both confirmed cases and probable cases should be reported.
Confirmed case
A confirmed case requires laboratory definitive vidence (fetal or infant), as described above AND clinical evidence.
Clinical evidence
A live or still born infant with ANY of the following compatible defects:
- Cataracts
- Congenital glaucoma
- Congenital heart disease
- Hearing defects
- Microcephaly
- Pigmentary retinopathy
- Development delay
- Purpura
- Hepatosplenomegaly
- Meninigoencephalitis
- Radioluscent bone disease
- Other defect not better explained by an alternative diagnosis.
Probable case
A probable case requires laboratory suggestive evidence (infant) OR epidemiological evidence, as described above.
AND clinical evidence
Clinical evidence
(as for confirmed CRS case).
Notification Procedure
Pathology laboratories
To notify on microbiological or serological confirmation of rubella or congenital rubella syndrome, by usual means.
Laboratory aspects
IgM is produced early after vaccination, reaching a peak at 1 month and lasting approximately 1 month more, but may persist for longer at low levels. In acute infection, IgM usually becomes detectable shortly after the rash onset, peaks approximately 7 days after rash onset and remains detectable for 4–12 weeks.
Because rubella incidence in Australia is low, a high proportion of IgM-positive tests will likely be false positive. False-positive serum rubella IgM tests may occur due to the presence of rheumatoid factors (indicating rheumatologic disease) or cross-reacting IgM, or infection with other viruses.
Testing repeat samples in parallel and detection of wild-type rubella virus by PCR can be used to resolve uncertainties in the serologic evaluation of suspected cases. The best specimens for PCR detection are throat or nasopharyngeal swab or urine. Blood can be used, but has not been validated.
Particular care should be taken when rubella IgM is detected in a pregnant woman with no history of illness or contact with a rubella-like illness. Although this is not recommended, many pregnant women with no known exposure to rubella are tested for rubella IgM as part of their antenatal care. If rubella test results are IgM-positive for persons who have no or low risk of exposure to rubella, additional laboratory evaluation should be conducted. Laboratory evaluation is similar to that described in the IgM-positive section of Appendix 1 - Serologic evaluation of pregnant women exposed to rubella.
Reporting to NOCS
Both confirmed and probable cases should be notified.
Confirmed case
A confirmed case requires laboratory definitive evidence only.
Probable case
A probable case requires clinical evidence AND either laboratory suggestive evidence OR epidemiological evidence.
Congenital rubella syndrome
Both confirmed and probable cases should be notified.
Confirmed case
A confirmed case requires laboratory definitive evidence AND clinical evidence.
Probable case
A probable case requires laboratory suggestive evidence (either maternal or infant) AND clinical evidence.
Objectives of Surveillance
- To monitor the epidemiology of rubella and congenital rubella syndrome in Queensland to inform public health initiatives.
- To identify cases and outbreaks of rubella to enable appropriate public health responses.
Public Health Significance and Occurrence
Because Rubella is usually a mild disease with non-specific symptoms it is often difficult to diagnose clinically. However, Rubella is of public health significance because infection during pregnancy can cause miscarriage (up to 20% of cases in the first 8 weeks of gestation), foetal death and congenital anomalies.
Congenital rubella syndrome occurs in up to 90% of infants born to women who acquire rubella during the first trimester of pregnancy. The risk of a single congenital defect falls to approximately 10–20% by the 16th week and defects are rare when the maternal infection occurs after the 20th week of gestation. The most common congenital defects are cataracts, heart defects and hearing impairment.
The incidence of congenital rubella infection has decreased markedly since the schoolgirl vaccination program was initiated in Australia in the early 1970s. Australia has the opportunity to eliminate endemic rubella with rates of reported disease less than one case per 100,000 population since 2002.
Clinical Features
Rubella is a mild febrile viral disease with a diffuse, punctate and maculopapular rash. Clinically, this is usually indistinguishable from febrile rash illness due to measles, dengue, parvovirus B19, human herpesvirus 6, coxsackie virus, echovirus, adenovirus or scarlet fever. The rash occurs in 50%–80% of rubella infected persons.
Children usually present few or no constitutional symptoms, but adults may experience a 1–5 day prodrome of low grade fever, headache, malaise, mild coryza, and conjunctivitis. Post-auricular, occipital and posterior cervical lymphadenopathy is the most characteristic clinical feature, and precedes the rash by 5–10 days. Many cases (up to 50%) are subclinical.
Complications of rubella are not common, but they generally occur more often in adults than in children.
Arthralgia or arthritis may occur in up to 70% of adult women who contract rubella, but is rare in children and adult males. Fingers, wrists, and knees are often affected. Joint symptoms tend to occur about the same time or shortly after appearance of the rash and may last for up to 1 month; chronic arthritis is rare.
Encephalitis occurs in one in 6,000 cases, more frequently in adults (especially in females) than in children. Mortality estimates vary from 0 to 50%.
Hemorrhagic manifestations occur in approximately one per 3,000 cases, occurring more often in children than in adults. These manifestations may be secondary to low platelets and vascular damage, with thrombocytopenic purpura being the most common manifestation. Gastrointestinal, cerebral, or intracranial haemorrhage may occur. Effects may last from days to months, and most patients recover.
Additional complications include orchitis, neuritis, and a rare late syndrome of progressive panencephalitis.
Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS)
Rubella is important because it can produce a constellation of anomalies in the developing foetus. Congenital rubella syndrome is an illness resulting from embryonic / foetal rubella virus infection.
CRS occurs in up to 90% of infants born to women who are infected with rubella in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. Infection early in pregnancy conveys the greatest risk of intrauterine death, spontaneous abortion and congenital malformations of major organ systems. The risk of defects declines when maternal infection occurs after the 12th week of pregnancy and defects are rare when maternal infection occurs after the 20th week.
The specific signs and symptoms of congenital rubella syndrome may be classified as temporal e.g. low birth weight; permanent e.g. deafness; and developmental e.g. myopia. Common manifestations include: cataracts, microphthalmia, congenital glaucoma, microcephaly, meningoencephalitis, developmental delay, patent ductus arteriosus, atrial or ventricular septal defects, purpura, hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice, and radiolucent bone disease. Moderate and severe CRS is usually recognisable at birth. Mild CRS with only slight cardiac involvement or hearing impairment may not be detected for months or even years after birth. Diabetes mellitus in late childhood has been observed 50 times more frequently in children with CRS than without it.
Humans are the only known reservoir.
Mode of Transmission
Droplet spread and direct contact with nasopharyngeal secretions of people infected with rubella virus.
Rubella vaccine virus is not generally transmitted from vaccinated persons to susceptible contacts. The vaccine virus is secreted in breast milk, and rare cases of transmission of vaccine virus through breast milk have been reported. However, symptoms in the newborn have been mild or absent and post-partum vaccination of women need not be delayed because of breastfeeding.
Incubation Period
From 14–17 days with a range of 14–21 days.
Period of Communicability
Rubella is highly communicable. The period of communicability is approximately one week before and at least 4 days after the onset of rash. People with rubella are most infectious when the rash is erupting.
Infants with congenital rubella syndrome shed virus in their pharyngeal secretions and urine for up to 1 year after birth and can therefore transmit the virus to susceptible people caring for them.
Susceptibility and Resistance
Immunity is usually permanent after natural infection and thought to be lifelong after immunisation. Ninety-five percent of people seroconvert after 1 dose of rubella-containing vaccine. However, rubella reinfection can occur in individuals who have both natural and vaccine-induced immunity.
Re-infection is not associated with a lack of neutralising antibodies, and viraemia is rare. In some studies, reinfection leads only to an IgG booster response, without IgM, whereas in others the appearance of IgM suggests significant viral replication. Clinical rubella has been documented during reinfection of vaccinated and naturally immune individuals. Occasional cases of congenital rubella syndrome after reinfection in pregnancy have been reported. The risk of foetal transmission is probably less than 5% in the first trimester (compared to at least 80% in primary infection).
Infants born to immune mothers are ordinarily protected for 6–9 months, depending on the quantity of maternal antibodies acquired transplacentally.
In consultation with the attending medical practitioner, ensure laboratory confirmation and all relevant clinical and demographic information are obtained. Ascertain vaccination status with respect to rubella.
Laboratory confirmation is recommended for all sporadic cases of rubella and all suspected cases of congenital rubella syndrome.
As per the current NHMRC recommendations, exclude rubella cases from school/institution/work until 4 days after onset of rash or until fully recovered, whichever is longer. Avoid contact with women of child bearing age and pregnant women.
In hospitals, as per current Queensland Health infection control guidelines, patients with suspected or proven rubella should be managed with contact and droplet precautions until 7 days after onset of rash or until fully recovered, whichever is longer. Contact isolation precautions should be applied to infants less than 12 months of age with CRS unless urine and pharyngeal cultures are negative for rubella virus.
Infants with congenital rubella syndrome should be excluded from childcare and avoid contact with pregnant women for the first 12 months of life unless urine and pharyngeal specimens are negative for rubella virus either by culture or by NAT after three months of age.
The case should be advised of the nature of the infection and its mode of transmission. If other vaccinations are incomplete, recommend catch up once recovered.
Pregnant cases
If the patient is pregnant, obtain information regarding number of weeks of gestation at onset of illness. Refer the case promptly to their obstetrician/clinician for counselling regarding the risks of intrauterine rubella infection and appropriate follow-up. If possible, follow up with the referring clinician for pregnancy outcome.
Contact tracing
Anyone who is likely to have been exposed to the nose or throat secretions of a person with rubella during their infectious period. Although rubella transmission is usually associated with repeated exposure, transmission has been documented after a single exposure.
Prioritise investigation based on the probability of transmission. First priority should be people who share a household with the case, people who attend the same class at school or childcare as the case and people who are work or social contacts of the case. Particular effort should be made to identify all pregnant women who might have been exposed and ensure they are reviewed by their clinician and serologically tested for rubella.
Except for pregnant women and women who are planning a pregnancy, adequate proof of immunity to rubella includes:
a) written documentation of receipt of two doses of a rubella-containing vaccine administered on or after the first birthday
b) laboratory evidence of immunity
c) birth before 1966.
Pregnant women and women who are planning a pregnancy should be serologically tested.
Any contact who does not have adequate proof of immunity is a susceptible contact.
Non-pregnant contacts
All susceptible non-pregnant contacts aged 12 months and older should be offered a single dose of MMR vaccine, provided there are no contraindications to the vaccine. This will not prevent disease if the contact is already infected. Women who are planning a pregnancy should be advised not to become pregnant for 28 days after receiving the vaccine.
Recommend that all susceptible people avoid contact with the case for at least 4 days after the onset of rash.
Pregnant contacts
Refer pregnant contacts to their clinicians for serologic evaluation of rubella-specific IgM and IgG antibodies (see Appendix) and counselling regarding the risks for intrauterine rubella infection. If the woman has an IgG antibody titre below the protective level, or is IgG negative, and remains asymptomatic, a second blood specimen should be collected 28 days after the exposure and tested in parallel with the first to detect subclinical infection. If the woman develops symptoms, specimens for rubella PCR and blood for rubella and other viral serology should be collected and tested as soon as possible to confirm diagnosis of rubella and exclude other relevant viral illnesses.
Susceptible pregnant contacts should avoid further contact with the case and with close contacts of the case for 6 weeks (two incubation periods) after the onset of symptoms of rubella in the last case.
Surveillance for CRS should be implemented when confirmed or probable rubella cases are documented in a setting where pregnant women might have been exposed.
Post-exposure prophylaxis for susceptible pregnant contacts with immunoglobulin
Post-exposure prophylaxis with NHIG (20 mls by deep IM injection in divided doses) within 72 hours of rubella exposure might reduce – but will not eliminate – the risk for rubella. Experimental studies in the 1960s confirmed the efficacy of passive antibody in preventing both viremia and clinical rubella, but there were numerous failures of gamma-globulin to prevent congenital foetal abnormality in actual practice. In one study of CRS patients, up to 6% of mothers gave histories of receipt of gamma-globulin after exposure to rubella. The newer intravenous gamma-globulins do not have high concentrations of rubella antibodies, presumably because the antibodies are now the result of immunisation rather than disease, so a higher failure rate may be expected.
Susceptible pregnant contacts of confirmed rubella cases should discuss PEP with their obstetrician/clinician, including a frank discussion of risks and possible benefits. Serological follow up of recipients is essential. IgM should be done once every 2 weeks for 2 months after last contact with the case to establish whether delayed or subclinical infection occurs.
Administration of NHIG
NHIG is available from the Red Cross Blood Bank. The PHU is responsible for notifying the obstetrician/treating clinician on the process for accessing NHIG for their patient if required. (See the following webpage for order form and contact details for CSL: http://www.blood.gov.au/NHIg (current as at 13 April 2015).
NHIG should be given by deep IM injection, using an appropriately sized needle. The NHIG should be introduced slowly into the muscle, to reduce pain. This product must not be administered intravenously because of possible severe adverse events, and hence an attempt to draw back on the syringe after IM insertion of the needle should be made in order to ensure that the needle is not in a small vessel. A special product for IV use (NHIG [intravenous]) has been developed for patients requiring large doses of immunoglobulin.
Contacts in health care settings
Any exposed health care worker who does not have adequate evidence of immunity should be excluded from duty beginning 7 days after exposure to rubella and continuing until either
a) 21 days after last exposure
b) 7 days after the onset of rash if illness develops or until fully recovered, whichever is longer.
Susceptible non-pregnant health care workers should be offered MMR vaccine, although post-exposure vaccination will not prevent rubella infection following exposure.
Management of Outbreaks
- Identify potentially susceptible groups and high risk settings to promote awareness and vaccination.
- Alert GPs, Emergency Departments and childcare facilities to enhance surveillance and case ascertainment.
- Exclude non-immune pregnant women from workplaces with identified transmission.
- Alert hospital infection control practitioners so they can implement the recommendations in health care settings e.g. antenatal clinics.
Preventive Measures
MMR vaccination is recommended for all infants at 12 months of age, and MMRV (as the second dose of rubella containing vaccine) is recommended for all infants at 18 months of age. Women of child bearing age should be tested prior to pregnancy, if possible. All seronegative women, if not pregnant or intending to become pregnant within 28 days, should be offered free MMR vaccine. Opportunities for screening include general practice, antenatal care, and at family planning, infertility and occupational health clinics. All seronegative pregnant women should be offered free MMR vaccine post-partum. Opportunities include the post-natal ward and the 6 week postnatal visit (women should be advised not to become pregnant for 28 days after vaccination).
If born during or after 1966, and there is an absence of vaccination records or there is seronegativity on screening, all adults, and particularly male and female child care workers and staff and students in health care facilities who have contact with patients, should receive MMR vaccination.
Use epidemiologic and published data to identify groups with low vaccination coverage (e.g. some migrant groups) and enhance opportunities for vaccination.

The ideal home interior will have a specific theme or concept. This doesn't mean that everything will necessarily match. In fact striving for such a home often stifles the natural evolution of your personal style. But a central theme is important because it will give some sense of order to the disparate elements that make up a real, living home interior.
So often we fall in love with a specific sofa or single element, but don't really think about how it will fit within a larger theme. Perhaps you have a gorgeous antique Asian screen that could be emphasised by being placed beside another antique. Perhaps you love the bright, energetic look of a highly coloured interior, but need to consider what furniture will work well with the colours. If so, here at homify we have a lot of lovely interiors with themes that will get you thinking about how to theme your interior. Come with us to explore a few.
Rustic interiors offer a warm and earth feel that have a real cosiness. But this look can sometimes be a little out of place in a contemporary apartment. Look at creating a contemporary rustic look. Here we can see how the sheer, white, unfussy curtains and minimalist floor lamp have been combined with more earthy elements. The key effect unifying these elements is the prevalence of varied, natural textures. Note how the furniture is low lying and the hanging seat injects a lovely natural organic shape to the room.
All white walls combined with bright pops of colour have been in for a while now. Primary colours are really important in a youthful and energetic themed room like this. The look is minimalist, but also coloured by contemporary attitudes to raw surfaces and materials. So this look really works with the raw concrete wall as seen here and the addition on wooden surfaces. Note the skateboard as a decorative item!
Organic, eco-friendly and green interiors are huge at the moment. It's a very flexible theme. Think of combining bright, white walls and minimalist furniture with lush plants and greenery. A big part of this look is the undulating lines and variations of nature. See here how the circular chair, wall decoration and egg shaped lights add circular shapes to the room. Recycled furniture and anything made from natural materials is a must as well. This is a look that also shares a lot of elements with Scandinavian design.
An ethnic inspired theme is a really great way to combine some of the other rustic and organic elements in your home. Choose a specific culture and sprinkle elements in the form of tiles, textiles or beautiful artefacts into your interior. It may look a little silly trying to create a perfectly matching interior from another culture. It's often a good idea to start with white, white walls and add a few decorative pieces. Then use minimalist furniture in a bright, ethnically inspired colour to lay the decorative base.
Modern Asian interiors just look so classy that we had to include them here. Gorgeous old lacquered wooden antiques are a must here. Lotus flowers or bamboo pieces are your go-to houseplants. For the minimalist base, look at combining these elements with elegant, pearl coloured furniture, minimalist glass surfaces and framed artwork like this. Water features, Zen features and rock gardens are also a bonus.
An ornate gold bed it's just so over the top, that it will only really work if you embrace it in all its decadent glory. Look at adding decadent features to your home like a bathtub in the bedroom like this. This is a look that can be toned up or down, as long as you get the colours right. Think high gloss paint, dramatic blacks, gold, leather upholstered furniture and lots of mirrored surfaces.

Annual Giving
The Annual Fund is Sacred Heart Cathedral School's most important fundraising campaign. A gift to the Annual Fund enriches programs and projects necessary to maintain our high level of excellence.
Providing outstanding educational, spiritual, art, and athletic experiences at SHCS requires funding beyond tuition. The financial resources necessary to support the wide range of academics and activities are substantial. In recognizing these financial demands, we rise to the occasion to meet or exceed them.
Help us reach our goal of 100% Parent Participation! Your contribution in any amount plays a significant role in maintaining our high level of excellence. Thank you for supporting Catholic education at SHCS. Give Today!
Your Gifts At Work
When you make an unrestricted gift to the Sacred Heart Annual Fund, you support the area of greatest need at the current time. The Pastor and Principal determined the school's priorities and set the Annual Fund goal through the budgeting process and stakeholder input. Annual Fund gifts help to meet these priorities and allow us to entertain other opportunities that may arise during the year.
Every Gift Matters
Every gift makes a difference. Giving is a personal decision. Some donors consider their gift an additional investment in their children's education. For others, giving expresses their gratitude for the role Sacred Heart has played in their own lives. We always encourage and appreciate the gift of prayer. So the only donation that is "too small" is none at all!
How To Make A Gift/Donation
There are several options! You can make a one-time gift or pledge now for later payment (by June 30). You may pay by cash or check. You may also make recurring payments throughout the school year. Donations are accepted via Sacred Heart's WeShare website.
2019-2020 Annual Fund Parent Chairs
A huge thank you to Ryan and Kelli Anderson for serving as the Parent Chairs for the 2019-2020 Annual Fund Campaign!
Dear Parents and Friends of Sacred Heart Cathedral School,
Our family is honored to chair the 2019-2020 Annual Fund Campaign for Sacred Heart Cathedral School. One of the reasons we chose Sacred Heart for our children, was in part due to their mission to educate the whole child in a Catholic, Christ-centered environment with the ultimate goal of developing students to their fullest potential and to a life of service. We accept this endeavor with sincere pleasure and commitment.
Sacred Heart Cathedral School partners with families to teach our faith through daily religious studies, regular Mass attendance, sacramental preparation, and other religious education programs. All children at Sacred Heart are loved and nurtured as students and disciples of Christ. When you walk on campus, you will see our faculty, students, clergy, and volunteers working together to become stronger in both character and knowledge. You will see first-hand the difference that a Sacred Heart Education makes in the life of a child.
If we want the best learning, we must meet our mission! Sacred Heart relies on the generous support of individuals and businesses. Without the assistance of faithful supporters like you, the school cannot fulfill its mission. Sacred Heart, like all non-public schools, is responsible for its own funding. The school tuition set by the Diocese covers only 85% of a student's educational costs at Sacred Heart. The Annual Fund Campaign assists in bridging this funding gap and helps cover the remainder of the student costs. This adds tremendous value and enhancements to the education of all students.
We ask you to join us in generously supporting our school's Annual Fund Campaign. All funds raised during this campaign will go directly to school educational costs. Every single donation, regardless of its size, makes a difference in helping us educate and prepare our students for success and a lifetime love of learning.
Please save the date for our Annual Fund grade level get-togethers! These are always fun evenings to meet fellow parents and support our school. Look for your invitation in the mail coming soon!
Preschool-2nd Grade: Wednesday, November 6th
3rd-5th Grade: Sunday, November 10th
Middle School: Sunday, November 24th
Thank you for your past gifts and for your participation in this year's campaign. May God bless you and your family for your continued generosity and commitment to Sacred Heart Cathedral School.
In Christ,
Ryan and Kelli Anderson
Will (7th grade), Miles (5th grade) and Evelyn (Kindergarten)
Together we give, Together we grow. Follow this link to start your support today!

Modern top-level prototype racecars have notoriously bad, gunslit visibility. The Nissan LMP1 GT-R LM adds a level of complexity with flames. Flames to the face.
Nismo's LMP1 car is front-engined, with exhausts mounted up front as well, exiting right in the driver's line of sight.
I might be perhaps a touch distracted by this deep into the night at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Nissan's Harry Tincknell doesn't seem too bothered, however, by this test session with the car at Palm Beach International Raceway.
I can't wait to see this thing make its race debut.

By ERIN MATHEWS Salina Journal
�Quiet, please. We cannot start unless you�re quiet.� (timid voice) �SILENCE!� (loud command) �O-K, long story short, people. We are currently living in a dystopian future. Your memories have been erased, and from now on you�ll only be known by the color bands on your arms.� (timid voice continues) With that start, 17-yearold Duncan Anglin, a junior at Ell-Saline High School, will be off and running with his 9-minute 45-second dramatic performance in the preliminary rounds Saturday at the National Catholic Forensics League competition in Sacramento, Calif. Anglin, who has qualified to compete at the state level for three years, may be the first Ell-Saline student to qualify for the national forensic tournament, forensics coach Amanda Little said. She said it�s impressive that his humorous performance ranked well enough to compete against more serious works presented by other students. �It�s really hard to qualify a humorous piece,� Little said. �A lot of times, they�re looked down upon when compared to the serious pieces, so I�m really proud of him.�
East Coast competition
But forensics isn�t the only event that Anglin got to compete in at the national level this month. On May 5, he was among 14 Ell-Saline students who flew to Boston to compete at the Business Professionals of America National Leadership Conference. The team sought grant funding and participated in a variety of fundraisers, including hosting a chicken dinner and bagging mementos to be distributed at a convention, Anglin said. �At the beginning of the month I go to the East Coast, and at the end of the month I go to the West Coast,� Anglin said. �I don�t think I get to rest.� Anglin, son of Madonna and Robbyn Anglin, qualified to compete nationally at the BPA conference by placing fifth on a written test about computer security at a state conference in Wichita in February. Anglin said he spent hours studying information about types of computer viruses, how they enter a computer system and how they are extracted in preparation for the contest. At nationals, he placed in the top two-thirds on the computer security test. He placed 30th out of 477 on a merit scholar test about the business organization and leadership. The team got to do some sightseeing, visiting the New England Aquarium and Cambridge University, among other sites. �Being in Boston was amazing,� he said. �It was great to see all the history.�
Make �em laugh
For forensics competition, Anglin said he and his father chose a one-act play written in 2015 by Don Zolidis called �Dystopia! The Hungry Maze Game of Divergent Death,� which Anglin edited down to competition length. The play is a spoof on stereotypical characters in dystopian novels and movies, which depict future societies that are frightening or undesirable in other ways. �It�s supposed to really make people laugh,� Anglin said. �With my voice range, I can do different voices. I can change characters and mess with how I look.� Since qualifying for nationals, Anglin has continued to work on the piece. He�s been perfecting his movements, repeating his lines and making sure the piece is timed correctly. He also knows the importance of good eye contact with the judges.
Cinnamon rolls, bierocks
The $3,500 cost of the trip was a little daunting, but thanks to a grandmother who has a secret recipe for cinnamon rolls and bierocks and a grant from the Greater Salina Community Foundation, Anglin had secured the funds a couple of weeks before his plane took off Thursday from Kansas City. �She�s been working hard and putting me to work,� Anglin said of his grandma Betty Atkinson. �One weekend, we needed to make 15 dozen cinnamon rolls and 16 dozen bierocks.� Anglin memorized and performed the parts of six different characters in six different voices at the regional competition in Wamego on March 12. �I had a very good day, except for one round,� Anglin said. �I don�t know what I did that round. I screwed up somewhere. I was at least in the top three in every room except that one room. I got sixth there.� Still, Anglin�s overall score at the regional contest got him close to qualifying for nationals. When another competitor dropped out, Anglin was invited to be among the 240 students who compete in California. �That was quite a day,� Anglin said. �I remember getting up at 5:30 in the morning and all I could think about was going back to bed, but as soon as competition started to roll around, it was go time.�
