Throughout the English-speaking world, Auld Lang Syne is traditionally sung on New Years Eve (known as Hogmanay in Scotland). [1]

The traditional song for ringing in the New Year in almost every English speaking country in the world is Auld Lang Syne. [2]

The poet, author of works such as “Tam o’ Shanter” and “To a Mouse,” denied that “Auld Lang Syne” was his. [3]

The song, “Auld Lang Syne,” playing in the background, is sung at the stroke of midnight in almost every English-speaking country in the world to bring in the new year. [4]

If you were to take a soundtrack of the globe across the time zones as December 31st turns to January 1st, you’d hear the strains of “Auld Lang Syne” from New Zealand to South Africa to Ireland to Newfoundland to Alaska. [5]

“It has traveled and embedded itself in cultures across the globe,” said Burns biographer Robert Crawford. [3]

Printed from Cantaria, a folk song archive. [1]

The song is sung throughout the English-speaking world and has been translated into more than 40 languages. [3]

Everything you wanted to know about Robert Burns, Scotland’s national bard (and lots more besides). [6]

Robert Burns sent a copy of the original song to the Scots Musical Museum with the remark, ‘The following song, an old song, of the olden times, and which has never been in print, nor even in manuscript until I took it down from an old man”. [7]

Though it was played as the band’s theme song for years, and it had even occasionally been sung on New Year’s Eve, this was the first time that Lombardo’s group played it at the Hotel Roosevelt Grill in New York City to usher in the new year. [8]

Countries that have reported deaths of poultry or wild birds linked to highly pathogenic H5N1 infection. [1]

Ongoing circulation of H5N1 viruses in poultry, especially when endemic, continues to pose threats to public health, as these viruses have both the potential to cause serious disease in people and may have the potential to change into a form that is more transmissible among humans. [2]

Bird, or avian, flu in humans has occurred sporadically since the late 1990s. [3]

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1, also known as “bird flu”, A(H5N1) or simply H5N1, is a subtype of the influenza A virus which can cause illness in humans and many other animal species. [4]

AI viruses are divided into two groups based on their ability to cause disease in poultry: high pathogenicity or low pathogenicity. [2]

Concern is growing about a mutant strain of the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus that is spreading in Asia and beyond. [5]

The information on CDC’s avian influenza website is no longer being updated. [6]

H5N1 is common among birds in Asia, who shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions and faeces. [3]

A dead cat infected with the H5N1 bird flu virus was found in Germany. [1]

On September 27, 2007 researchers reported that the H5N1 bird flu virus can also pass through a pregnant woman’s placenta to infect the fetus. [4]

So here’s the PlayStation Vita, attempting to breath new life into the portable gaming market. [1]

While the numbers are not backed by official Sony figures, and the company has declined to comment on the research firm’s numbers, the message is nevertheless clear: the PlayStation Vita may be offering mobile gamers too little too late, and for too high a price. [...] The new numbers come via Japanese research site Media Create Co., which claims Sony only sold 72,479 units during the week ending Dec. 25, a steep drop off from the device’s debut sales of approximately 324,859 units. [2]

The device is fully backwards-compatible with PlayStation Portable games digitally released on the PlayStation Network via the PlayStation Store. [3]

Even Sony has been attempting to get in on the mobile action, with underwhelming results so far. [...] Mobile gaming is snapping at its heels, with game developers continuing to boost the scale and polish on smartphone offerings. [1]

Discover the handheld gaming revolution from PlayStation. [4]

But in recent years that trend has shifted as more and more Japanese gamers have switched over to the iPhone, as well as Android smartphones, for both gaming and messaging. [2]

Games also sparkle, with an occasional frame-rate wobble that we’re (optimistically) hoping disappears when developers get to grips with the new hardware. [1]

Handheld consoles are struggling to compete in the new world of smartphone gaming as Nintendo recently cut its full-year revenue outlook by 12 percent due in part to the lukewarm reception to its Nintendo 3DS handheld game system introduced earlier this year. [2]
