On the High Lift track set the spring package is placed high above the door.
This track type allows high vehicles to cross along the door opening without obstructions of the horizontal tracks. This track type is used when the space above the door is considerable, and is needed for work and traffic, e.g.: high vehicles.
Achieve maximum daylight height with minimum head room. Same as standard lift, but with the spring package at the end of the horizontal tracks. The space between the door opening and the roof does not need to be more than 265mm.
Very high ceiling and high working space requirements.
Allows high vehicles to cross along the door opening without any obstructions. If the space between the daylight height and the roof is sufficient, with this track type, the door can be opened vertically.

Slavery Is an Evil That Continues to Confront Our Society
The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights is explicit in stating that no-one shall be held in slavery or servitude. And yet, 65 years on, it is this very evil that continues to confront our society. It is happening in our streets, in our communities, and across the world... Our primary objective is to deter and disrupt the activities of those who are involved in these despicable crimes.
Security Minister for the Home Office, Conservative MP for Old Bexley and Sidcup
10/12/2013 11:42am GMT | Updated February 9, 2014
One of the fundamental principles underlining today's UN Human Rights Day is the prohibition on slavery in all its forms. The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights is explicit in stating that no-one shall be held in slavery or servitude. And yet, 65 years on, it is this very evil that continues to confront our society.
It is happening in our streets, in our communities, and across the world. This morning I was privileged to accompany the Metropolitan Police Service on an operation tackling modern slavery in our capital. I saw first hand the dedication of police officers to protect victims and bring their abusers to justice. It was a timely reminder of the reason we are fighting this crime and the horrific reality that men, women and children across the UK still face.
Our primary objective is to deter and disrupt the activities of those who are involved in these despicable crimes. Stopping people from becoming victims in the first place is our goal, but that requires a continued and strengthened law enforcement response. That is why this Government is bringing forward a Modern Slavery Bill - to fight this evil at home and abroad. We must strengthen our law enforcement efforts to provide individuals with the level of protection they need and deserve.
We know that a large percentage of victims are foreign nationals. That is why law enforcement agencies in the UK are working with their counterparts in Europe and across the world, setting up joint investigation teams to catch the perpetrators, here and abroad. But, as we have seen recently, victims are also UK nationals - taken from their homes, kept in appalling conditions and made to work for hours on end for little or no pay. This practice is simply unacceptable and one that must be stopped. Action must be taken at a national, regional and local level so that law enforcement agencies in the UK have the tools and the knowledge they need to effectively deter, disrupt and prosecute those involved. That is why we have made it a priority for the National Crime Agency.
Domestically, we are strengthening our legal framework. We will consolidate existing criminal offences, restrict the movements of perpetrators and raise the maximum available sentence to life imprisonment. We will introduce an Anti-slavery Commissioner to oversee and coordinate law enforcement efforts. He or she will have a unique opportunity to test the law enforcement response and make recommendations on how it can be improved.
Our belief is that, through this strengthened approach, fewer people will be subjected to this abhorrent crime. But, where they are victims we want to see that they are rescued and cared for in an appropriately sensitive manner. The National Referral Mechanism plays an important role in doing just that. Its function is to support the effective identification of victims and provide them with the care and support they need to rebuild their lives and move on. We want to ensure that the National Referral Mechanism continues to meet these objectives which is why we are undertaking a review as well as looking at the £4million government-funded contract which provides bespoke care to potential victims.
The Modern Slavery Bill will mark an important further step on the road to eradicating slavery from our shores. Legislation is important but I recognise that it cannot be viewed in isolation. Next year we will publish a strategic action plan, setting out a number of important actions that will strengthen and complement the Modern Slavery Bill. A new Modern Slavery Unit has been set up in the Home Office to coordinate this work, both legislative and non-legislative.
The Bill and the practical steps we are taking underline our commitment to ridding our society of the appalling exploitation and abuse of others. Freedom from slavery is a fundamental human right - and a right that this Government will steadfastly uphold.

Q: LEFT JOIN unrelated entity to root table in JPA Criteria builder I have got 2 tables TABLE_A & TABLE_B. I have got 2 entity classes for these 2 tables named TableA & TableB.
TableA has got an attribute which is actually a foreign key, is ID of TableB. But this relation is not there at table level as well as entity class level.
Which means that these two tables are unrelated with respect to entity manager.
Now I want to generate a jpa query like below
select
   tablea.name, tableb.name
   from TableA tablea left join TableB tableb on
   tablea.tablebId=tableb.pkId

Basically Table_A is my main table.
Here is what I have trie, this is doing cross join
       String rootClassNameWithPackage = "TableA";
        String fkClassNameWithPackage = "TableB";

        CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
        CriteriaQuery<?> criteriaQuery = null;
        Root<?> rootTable = null;
        Root<?> fkTable = null;

        try {
            criteriaQuery = criteriaBuilder.createQuery(String.class);
            rootTable = criteriaQuery != null ? criteriaQuery.from(Class.forName(rootClassNameWithPackage)) : null;

            fkTable = criteriaQuery != null ? criteriaQuery.from(Class.forName(fkClassNameWithPackage)) : null;

            List<Predicate> criteriaList = new ArrayList<>();

            Predicate predicateSearchFk = criteriaBuilder.equal(rootTable.get("tablebId"), fkTable.get("pkid"));

            criteriaList.add(predicateSearchFk);
            criteriaQuery.where(criteriaBuilder.and(criteriaList.toArray(new Predicate[0])));
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            logger.error(e.getMessage());
        }

        final TypedQuery<?> query = entityManager.createQuery(criteriaQuery);

        query.setMaxResults(pageSize);

        return query.getResultList();

As mentioned earlier, this is doing cross join. We want to left join. Unfortunately we cant change the entity classes to add the FK relationships.

10/29/2018- A 12-year-old girl has died following a weekend go-kart accident in Marinette County. The incident occurred just before 3:00 Saturday afternoon in the Town of Grover. Marinette County Sheriff Jerry Sauve reports a go-kart operating on private property on Town Line Road struck a parked truck and the driver, a 12-year-old Madison Pluger of Spencer, Wisconsin suffered shoulder and internal injuries. Pluger was transported to the Oconto Hospital where she passed away several hours later from complications of the internal injuries sustained. Pluger was visiting family where the accident occurred in Grover. The incident remains under investigation.


We've recently launched the User Engagement Top 100 Subscription Retailers report as the latest addition to our growing collection of industry reports. We give you an insider's look at the omni-channel marketing tactics of the 100 biggest players in the subscription box game, showing you what works and what doesn't when it comes to captivating your customers' attention.
In the coming weeks, we'll be sharing our insights on how subscription retailers communicate with users across email and mobile channels. Each week we focus on one unique part of the customer experience (below) and share some of our most meaningful findings.
This week, we look at the onboarding of new users by evaluating the welcome emails that companies send to create a good first impression. Our featured findings are found in the infographic below.
We were surprised to see that only 68 percent of these companies sent welcome emails to their newest members.
Even more eye-opening was the observation that only 19 percent of those emails were installments of a longer running welcome series.
Looking deeper into the data, 72 percent of companies sent a single email, and 21 percent sent out a second follow-up email. Only 7 percent delivered a welcome series of three or more emails to their new subscribers.
When it comes to industry, the Lifestyle brands were the most frequent adopters of welcome emails at an 88 percent sent rate.
Food & Drink companies followed closely behind at 76 percent, trailed by Fashion brands at 68 percent. Beauty & Grooming subscription retailers were the least frequent at 40 percent adoption.
Dive into the full report if you're interested in more subscription retail trends.
From our findings, we've identified five great tips that you can implement today to begin elevating your customer experience!
Create a multi-touch welcome series — Even if you don't get past this tip, you will have made an impact!
Personalize the outreach — And that means going beyond, "Hi [First Name]" Use real-time behavioral data to customize campaigns.
A/B test early and often — Experiment with subject lines, CTAs and creative.
Get sophisticated with segmentation — Target by age, gender, location and more.
Respond to engagement in real-time — Then iterate on your results. Don't waste hours or days waiting for legacy technology to update.
Remember, you've just sealed the deal and are communicating with your newest brand advocate — think past the point of sale and leverage this opportunity to start the relationship off on the right foot. Early engagement will quickly help build brand advocacy and increase retention rates down the line.
Tune in next week: we'll dive into how subscription box retailers are using blast emails to keep their customers coming back for more.

80 nationally representative participants read a digitised copy of The Metro while their eye movements were recorded to reveal which ad gained the most attention.
Virgin's ad achieved 14% higher standout and 0.3" longer engagement on avg. when compared to our normative database of over 3000 ads.
Virgin Not As Well Known For Their Mobile Network Deals?
Despite gaining the most attention compared to expected norms, Virgin did not perform as well on recall. Just 13% remembered spontaneously and 24% after being prompted.
However, Virgin currently only have a small market share as a mobile network provider compared to some competitors, which could weaken recall for them offering a mobile SIM deal.
Eye-catching ads like this, however, may help to improve the brand being better recognised as a mobile network provider in the future.
Although smaller ads may have lower standout when compared to a full page ad, if done correctly you can still grab the majority of readers attention and save yourself a few quid!

From the phylogeny of the satyrinae butterflies to the systematics of euptychiina (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae): History, progress and prospects
M. A. Marín, C. Peña, A. V.L. Freitas, N. Wahlberg, S. I. Uribe
Research output: Contribution to journal › Scientific review › peer-review
We review the various proposals of evolutionary and classification schemes for Satyrinae and particularly Euptychiina butterflies, assessing progress and prospects of research for the group. Among the highlights is the proposal to include Morphini, Brassolini and Amathusiini as part of Satyrinae. Although it is clear that this hypothesis requires further investigation, phylogenetic studies recently conducted recover this clade as part of Satyrinae with high support. The phylogenetic analyses for Euptychiina carried out to date recover the monophyly of the group and have identified a variety of genera as non-monophyletic. Further work is necessary to resolve the position of the subtribe and the evolutionary relationships of several genera.

Queens Borough President Melinda Katz (D), U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-Jamaica, Laurelton, Rosedale, Cambria Heights, Saint Albans, Springfield Gardens, Far Rockaway, JFK Airport) and City Councilmember Adrienne Adams (D-Jamaica, Richmond Hill, Rochdale Village, South Ozone Park) recently joined the city's Department of Housing Preservation and others recently joined in the groundbreaking for the Northeastern Towers Annex on Guy Brewer Boulevard in South Jamaica.
This 10-story building will have 159 affordable apartments for very low-income seniors and will include apartments set aside for formerly homeless seniors and those with mobility, vision and hearing impairments.
Katz contributed $2 million in capital allocations from her office towards the project.
State Sen. James Sanders Jr. (D-Rochdale Village, Far Rockaway) supported Breast Cancer Awareness Month by attending and co-sponsoring events in Southeast Queens.
About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12.4%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime, according to statistics by breastcancer.org.
Among the events the lawmaker attended included joining Flowers of Hope for a Breast Cancer Awareness Walk this past Sunday at Brookville Park, where he presented certificates of recognition to survivors (male and female) at a ceremony during the event. He commended the honorees for their bravery and expressed his support for those still battling the disease. In a symbolic gesture, pink balloons were released into the air. Pink is the color associated with breast cancer awareness.
State Sen. Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. (D-Howard Beach, Ozone Park, Woodhaven, Glendale, Middle Village, Maspeth, parts of South Ozone Park, Ridgewood, Woodside, The Rockaways) and Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato (D-Broad Channel, Hamilton Beach, Howard Beach, Lindenwood, Ozone Park, Rockaway. ) on Friday will present the Hamilton Beach Volunteer Fire Department with a donation that will benefit the entire Hamilton Beach community.
The donation will help the Hamilton Beach community in their goal to address the flooding issues that have plagued the community for years. Other expected attendees include members of the Hamilton Beach Civic Association, the Hamilton Beach Volunteer Fire Department, members of Community Board 10 and local residents.
The announcement is slated for 2 p.m., Friday, Oct. 19 outside of the Hamilton Beach Volunteer Fire Department, 102-33 Davenport Court, Howard Beach.

What's the difference between "good" bots and "bad" bots? And why doesn't Snapchat have a fake news problem? Here's a quick guide to some of the discussions that might come up during the hearings this week.
More than half of internet traffic is bots. Bots have always played a major role in our internet ecosystem, although not all bots are bad. (Some, for example, are used to make our search experiences more accurate.) But the bots used to spread fake news are usually bad, and bad bots make up roughly 29% of internet traffic.
Accessibility attracts bots and fake accounts: Google, Facebook and Twitter want to make it easy for users all over the world to get on their platforms, because they believe in free speech and open access. But this level of openness means the barrier to entry on these platforms isn't just low for users, but for bots and bad actors as well.
You'll notice that there aren't many fake accounts or bots on Snapchat, because tight networks of friends interact ephemerally, rather than a broadcast network built on friend discoverability and links that last longer than 24 hours. According to a Snap spokesman, this means the economic payoff is low for spamming, phishing, or circulating images or links via bots compared to the effort required.
Bots are programmed to perform simple internet tasks repeatedly: You can program a bot to like, share, or comment on something. Fake news perpetrators create fake stories that are often amplified by a network of bots that automatically like, share or comment on the content. Algorithms elevate content that is popular, further amplifying the effect.
The Internet Research Agency is the source of many Russian bots: It employs a large staff to spread fake news and disinformation and has been using bots to spread Russian propaganda for years.
Bots don't just spread fake news — they can create it. Distil Networks, a cybersecurity company that focuses on bot detection and mitigation, says it's continually warning its digital publishing clients about ways bad bots are used to skew online polls.
"Online polls have almost no verification to an individual," says Chief Product and Strategy Officer Rami Essaid. "If you go in an online survey, there's not an individualized SSN, or license. They look at people based on cookie's or IP addresses that can easily be mimicked through bots by bad actors."

About "Fianchetto"
We really thought we were done putting out CDs for a while. So then a friend comes up to us right after we'd played "River's" during a gig and says "So when are ya'll gonna record that?"
After answering that same question after just about every instrumental, we caved, big time, and began the journey toward putting out an "instrumental CD".
These are tunes that we've been doing for some time, mostly, and as we play at several venues where Waltzes are dearly loved, it's waltz-heavy. The dance tune "Korobushka" made the cut, and a couple of tunes from the 1651 Playford Dance Master are also in here. For the aficionados, we've got some up-tempo reels, jigs, and hornpipes as well.
A couple of tunes are really special to us; "River's" is an amalgamation of Greg Edmonson's "River's Dance" from the Firefly episode "Lost" (which was based on the traditional tune "The Sailor's Wife), and Cedric the Fiddler's two verses of "River's Jig", which he wrote as a tribute to Greg's tune and recorded on the Bedlam Bards' CD "On the Drift". We wrote the final verse which is based on the Playford tune "Black Nag".
Chris Arterburn of the group "Spriggan" wrote the music to "Highland Farewell", which was originally put to the words of the poem by the same name by Robert Burns. We liked the music, and have yet to hear the words….
Since this CD was released at our live shows in the Summer of 2007, our two new members, Becky and Nikki, are quickly coming into their own as our new fiddler and whistler. And now we've added a second fiddler, DJ!
We hope you enjoy!

Rutherford County settles $225K wrongful termination case
Convicted ex-sheriff Robert Arnold cost Rutherford County $225,000 to settle another wrongful termination lawsuit.
Rutherford County settles $225K wrongful termination case Convicted ex-sheriff Robert Arnold cost Rutherford County $225,000 to settle another wrongful termination lawsuit. Check out this story on dnj.com: http://on.dnj.com/2mbGNza
Scott Broden, USA TODAY NETWORK - Tennessee Published 3:28 p.m. CT March 17, 2017 | Updated 5:49 p.m. CT March 17, 2017
Major Tommy Thompson(Photo: submitted)
Convicted ex-sheriff Robert Arnold cost Rutherford County almost $225,000 to settle a recent wrongful termination lawsuit from former Maj. Tommy Thompson.
The government cut a $224,999.60 check to settle the case Tuesday, County Finance Director Lisa Nolen said.
Thompson joins other former sheriff's deputies to accept settlements in wrongful termination lawsuits, including a $340,000 award about a year ago to fired Deputy Chief Virgil Gammon.
Thompson and Gammon both said they provided information to a federal grand jury that indicted Arnold on 14 counts accusing the ex-sheriff of illegally profiting off inmates through the sale electronic cigarettes from a JailCigs business, according to their lawsuits. Thompson also spoke to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, his lawsuit states.
"Sheriff Arnold's termination of Plaintiff's employment was motivated by a desire to retaliate against Plaintiff for speaking up, to an outside county official, about a matter of public concern," states the lawsuit filed Feb. 15 by Thompson's attorney Jerry Martin.
Thompson's lawsuit came about a month after he was one of 12 applicants who interviewed before the County Commission to replace Arnold on Jan. 10. The commission appointed Mike Fitzhugh to be the new sheriff on Jan. 12 about a week before Arnold pleaded guilty in federal court to wire fraud, honest services fraud and extortion.
Arnold awaits sentencing that's scheduled May 8. Arnold is booked at a jail in Mason in West Tennessee while he awaits sentencing, according to court records. Arnold initially had been located at a jail in Grayson County, Ky. He lost his pre-trial and then pre-sentencing release conditions in the case Sept. 28 after the federal court found he had committed domestic assault, witness tampering and intimidation of his wife pertaining to a Labor Day altercation at the couple's Murfreesboro home.
Prior to Arnold firing Thompson, the former major had been in charge of the jail, transport of prisoners to court and Judicial Building security.
County Mayor Ernest Burgess made the decision to settle the case.
"Under the circumstances that occurred that led us believe that we had some culpability, we felt that this would be the best solution to the problem short of taking it to the court," Burgess said during a Friday phone interview.
The lawsuit also accused the former sheriff of firing Thompson for warning Arnold not to fire anyone for providing information to authorities investigating the JailCigs case.
Thompson had sent an email to Arnold April 15, 2015, after hearing that the former sheriff had a "hit list" of those suspected of tipping off the media and authorities about JailCigs.
"There are very serious laws which provide strict penalties for taking adverse actions against anyone classified as 'Whistleblowers,'" states the email, according to the lawsuit. "As you can see you would be exposing us taxpayers to serious civil liabilities if you fire someone for the sole reason they revealed what they perceived as government waste, fraud, abuse, or criminal actions."
The lawsuit also noted how a copy of the email went to Evan Cope, a lawyer with the county attorney's office, and Cope responded within 30 minutes.
"Tommy is absolutely right, and I agree with him 100 percent," Cope replied, according to the lawsuit.
When Arnold fired Thompson, the former sheriff had said he was holding Thompson accountable for two inmate suicides in early 2016, the lawsuit notes.
"Plaintiff had submitted detailed reports to his supervisors regarding these suicides and had not been written up or disciplined in any way for them," the lawsuit states. "Suicides are an unfortunate reality in even the best run jails, and there was little that Plaintiff could have done to prevent either of the suicides at issue, given the staffing levels and policies in place at the time — which were largely outside of Plaintiff's control. Moreover, Plaintiff had specifically complained to Sheriff Arnold about the understaffing of the jail, but Sheriff Arnold refused to seek additional funding or shift resources to remedy the situation."
The county lost state certification of the jail in December in response to a Nov. 8 inspection that noted how "restraint chair logs and suicide logs reflect that checks are not conducted within 15-minute standard."
The County Commission responded to the inspection on Nov. 17 by converting four of the 12 new jailer positions into booking officers to meet the standard.
New Sheriff Fitzhugh has identified restoration of jail certification as being one of his top priorities.

Apple Confirms September 9 Event, Expect New iPhone(s) 6 and iWatch
by: Manish Singh - Last updated on: August 28th, 2014
As previously reported, Apple has today officially announced its event for the Flint Center in Cupertino on September 9. While the company hasn't officially spelled any more information — the tagline being, "wish we could say more" — we already have enough details on what to expect at the event next month.
The company is expected to unveil its new iPhones — or at least the 4.7-inch version, probably an iWatch, rollout of iOS and Mac OS X Yosemite among other things at the event.
The venue choice is interesting. The company usually holds its event at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco or its campus, but this time it has picked Flint Center — a place where its corporate headquarters are located. The event will begin at 10:00 am (local time). Also, Flint Center has more sitting capacity than any other venue that Apple has picked till date.
MacRumors folks managed to find a picture of the Flint Center's campus. as you can see, the massive structure — which seems to contain three stories — has been kept wrapped with a white barricade.
What to expect in the new iPhone 6?
We've already talked about the new iPhones in great length before — TL;DR: Sapphire display, and a better camera. But since then, we've learned a lot more about the new iPhones. Apple expert John Gruber believes that the 4.7-inch iPhone will have 1334 × 750, 326 PPI screen resolution, and the 5.5-inch will sport 2208 × 1242, 461 PPI resolution.
Since then we have also heard that the new iPhones will have NFC this time, a feature that has been available on Android smartphones for quite a while.
iWatch?
The company is also expected to launch its first smartwatch this year. At the Code event a few months ago, Apple SVP Eddy Cue said that the Apple's fall product pipeline is the best he'd seen in his 25 years at the company. But will the Cupertino giant reveal that product at its September 9 event? We're not entirely sure.
Also, there is a possibly that Apple might only launch the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 next month, and have the other (5.5-inch iPhone) for an event for later this year.
Fun trivia, if you put the 9/9 date upside down, it becomes 6/6. Two iPhones 6 huh?

Q: Search for multiple My search function receives a search term in any of the following ways:

*

*first_name  "thomas"

*last_name "smith"

*first_name last_name "thomas smith"

I'm trying to build a queryset that will find the client "thomas" by any of those terms, but will narrow the results to only "thomas smith" instead of "thomas jones" or "george smith" if both names are supplied.
I've done a lot of research on how to use filters, Q objects, string splitting, and for loops to accomplish this, but so far no luck.
MODEL:
class Client(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)

VIEW:
def search(request):
    query = request.GET.get('s', '').strip()
    if query:
        client_set = (
            (Q(first_name__in=query) & Q(last_name__in=query)) |
            Q(first_name__icontains=query) |
            Q(last_name__icontains=query)
        )
    else:
        client_list = []
    return render_to_response("search.html", {
        "client_list": client_list,
        "query": query
    },context_instance=RequestContext(request))

The above code works when searching "thom" but finds nothing for "thomas smith".  How can I rewrite this to function as described?

A: I believe that this should do what you want:
def search(request):
    name = request.GET.get('s', '').strip().split(' ', 1)
    client_set = Client.objects.all()

    if len(name) == 2:
        first_name, last_name = name
        client_set = client_set.filter(
            first_name__icontains=first_name,
            last_name__icontains=last_name,
        )
    else:
        name = name[0]
        client_set = client_set.filter(
            client_set.filter(first_name__icontains=name)
            | client_set.filter(last_name__icontains=name)
        )

    return render_to_response("search.html", {
        "client_list": client_list,
        "query": query
    }, context_instance=RequestContext(request))


Foxy is a domestic short hair tabby male kitten.
Foxy arrived in foster care with his two siblings. All three were scaredies, but slowly began to come out of their shells. Foxy was moved to new foster care with his new bestie, Pedro ( https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/391924 ).
Foxy is a sweet little man who enjoys people's company as well as that of his bestie Pedro. He is playful, and a little bit crazy. He can be quite boisterous and may play rough with any other kitties. "Super cute with a little bit of crazy!" is how his foster mum puts it. He is confident in nature but scared of new people at first.
Foxy loves his food! He is scared of new people at first, but slowly gets used to them. He loves cuddles and showing affection to his people. He likes to get as close to your face as possible!
Foxy loves kitty company, and has been in a foster home with dogs before too. He would ideally go to a home with other animals for company. He may be shy at first so his forever family need to be aware of this, and accepting of how long it takes him to settle in. He shouldn't take long at all, going on past experience.

Cape Bretoner third runner-up at national dance competition
SYDNEY, N.S. - Olivia Burke is on cloud nine. Burke was the third runner-up at the Canadian Highland Dance Championships in Charlottetown, P.E.I. last weekend in the 10-11 years category.
SaltWire Network · Other | Posted: July 7, 2017, midnight | Updated: Oct. 2, 2017, 11:02 a.m. | 2 Min Read
Olivia Burke of Coxheath was the third runner-up in her category at the Canadian Highland Dance Championships in Charlottetown, P.E.I., last weekend.
"I felt very excited and very proud," said the 11-year-old Coxheath resident on Wednesday. "It was really fun and a little nerve-racking."
Burke dances with MacArthur School of Dance in Sydney directed by Kelly MacArthur. She has been competing in highland dance for eight years and taken part in the Canadian championships for the past three years.
The school's team placed first in the small group (13 years and under) category within the choreography section at nationals. Besides Burke, team members included Drea Shepherd, Zoe MacIssac, Anna Ritter, Isabelle Pilling and Bradie MacKay.
"(Small group) was one of the most exciting parts," Burke said.
Aside from these two accomplishments, the Malcolm Munroe student placed fourth in the ScotDance Canada Open Championship in the 11 years class, which was held in conjunction with the national championships.
She also is the Nova Scotia champion in her age group and says she worked very hard for her title after placing first runner-up the past two years.
True Burke, Olivia's mom, was ecstatic about the results at nationals.
"I'm extremely proud," she said. "(Olivia) works very hard. She practises everyday. It's her thing. It's what she loves to do.
"The highlight of winning her award was the support she got from all the people in the Maritimes. The whole room erupted. We're very, very excited for her and everyone from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, P.E.I., they are all very excited for her too. It was a proud moment as a mom."

Twin Shell presents the same characteristics as the Shell stretcher with the only difference that it can be transversally divided in half to improve the storage and transport. To ensure a perfect hold between the two shells four nylon cones and a security system protected by a protuberance placed in the mould itself have been inserted.
"The Spencer basket stretcher Shell has been studied to confront the most difficult of emergency situations. It is ideal for rescue operations in mines at altitude and in water. Thanks to its robust form resistance and flexibility of use it is indispensable anytime that a reliable and safe stretcher is needed. A revolutionary technique has been used in its realization which ensures uniform thickness of the entire length of the stretcher. The shell is in high-density polyethylene and is joined to an aluminium framework that aims to consolidate its strength. The handles for transport which are part of the structure itself are placed along the entire perimeter. The grommets for the fixing of the spring catches of the harnessing are in stainless steel. Inside the shell there is a removable mattress applied with self-adherent strips made in closedcell EPDM which makes it impermeable to both blood and water. The use of high-density polyethylene for this shell guarantees not only that it is shatterproof but also an exceptional sanitization. The Spencer Shell can hold a spine board.

Sun Of Jamaica is always visible when we meet Oliver Bendt and his group Goombay Dance Band! At the end of the 1970s Hamburg singer Oliver Bendt created the successful band with an exotic style. It mixes a little Reggae with much of the unrestrained Caribbean joy of life and brings along a musical mixture from sun, temper, fantasy and fire. During his three year stay on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, Oliver saw the possibility of bringing the philosophy and kind of nature of the local people as a "souvenir" to Europe. The result was called Goombay Dance Band. The name originally comes from the Caribbean Goombay which is a small bay near by St. Lucia.
The band landed in Europe with Sun Of Jamaica the hit of the year, which went over the counter ten million times until today. Further big hits were followed. Aloha oe , Seven Tears , Eldorado are still sung along and hummed melodies everywhere in the world.
With Seven Tears Oliver Bendt conquers the British Chart in 1982 hitting and holding No. 1 position for 3 consecutive weeks. He sat enthroned as up to that date there had been no other English singing German artist reached more (entry in the Guinness Book of the Records).
In addition Goombay Dance Band attained numerous honors: their recordings have became three times platinum and twelve times gold after a quarter century of music history!
In 1995 the band produced an album Caribbean Beach Party in Denmark with CMC records. This album has been released in Germany under the title Island Of Dreams .
Since 1979 the Goombay Dance Band is on the way. Today Oliver performs on stage with two beautiful Caribbean ladies Anna and Mary. A new album was also planned to be released in early 2007.


Lisinopril, a medication widely used to treat high blood pressure and other cardiovascular disorders, sometimes may trigger small bowel angioedema, suggests a case report.
While rare, physicians should recognize angioedema as a possible side effect of lisinopril, and provide timely diagnosis and adequate treatment in the presence of acute abdominal pain.
The case report, "Angioedema of the small bowel caused by lisinopril," was published in the journal BMJ Case Reports.
Lisinopril, an inhibitor of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACEi), often is used to treat hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. These inhibitors are known to promote the accumulation of bradykinin, helping blood vessels relax and widen. But bradykinin also increases vessel permeability (allowing liquids and gasses to past through) the blood vessels, which contributes to angioedema.
ACEi-induced angioedema is a rare event that can affect any organ. Most often, the condition develops in the lips, tongue, face, and upper airway. But in rarer cases, it can affect other body tissues, such as the intestines.
Angioedema of the bowel, however, is difficult to diagnose, because it typically manifests with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which may mimic other diseases and lead to misdiagnosis.
A team led by Michigan State University researchers now presented the case of a 42-year-old man with small bowel angioedema. He had been referred to the hospital due to acute abdominal pain affecting mostly the left lower quadrant of the abdominal region.
He had a clinical history of hypertension and chronic kidney disease. He complained of severe abdominal pain that worsened whenever he ate or drank. These symptoms also were associated with nausea, vomiting, difficulty breathing, and dizziness.
An analysis of his blood showed high levels of white blood cells, suggesting inflammation. Then, a computed tomography (CT) scan from the abdominal region showed thick-walled small bowel loops, and evidence of mild free fluid in the abdominal and pelvic cavities.
Researchers suspected inflammatory bowel disease or colitis, and began treatment with the antibiotics ciprofloxacin and metronidazole. However, the patient showed no signs of improvement.
While an additional CT scan did not find any new clinical manifestation, a review of the patient's clinical history revealed he had started lisinopril treatment about two weeks before experiencing symptoms.
Given the documented risk of bowel angioedema linked to ACEi use, treatment with lisinopril was immediately discontinued. Within 24 hours, the patient showed significant improvements, and he was subsequently discharged with no reports of recurrence.
"ACEi-induced angioedema of the small intestine is a rare adverse reaction; yet, it is important to recognize this side effect as the drug is one of the most commonly prescribed medications in the country," the researchers concluded.

I had this happen to me in 2010 just days after starting Lisinopril. I suffered for 2 1/2 months with 5 hospitalization, unnecessary gall bladder removal and unnecessary exploratory surgery. This was pure hell and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. No doctor had ever heard of this reaction because it's so rare.
This is happening to me right now! I've have been treated for ulcerative colitis since 2013 I was Told I had high pressure and put on LISINOPRIL 10mg July 2013 I was diagnosis With UC and given Asacol 800mg stomach pain started put on Prednisones for pain and told it was the UC in my upper stomach diagnosis with post nasel drip and stomach Hernia because of my coughing and throat irritation! But now after reading this I think i feel it's the LISINOPRIL that has been causing my pain for so long! I went in the hospital for pain in February and came out with heart 2 stints I was told that's what was causing my pain!!!! I'm so disappointed with the medicine and doctors, and hospitals!!!
So did you not need the stents then? I'm scheduled for an angiogram on the 28th. Been having high blood pressure since emergency spinal fusion on September 25th.
I take llisinopril in am and after eating lunch my stomach cramps until gas is passed. My experience with doctor. If they can't see it or see it on an ex ray or lab report then it doesn't exist and you are a hypochondriac.
I have been suffering for ten years. Sick for about 4-6 hours every night. Reviewing medical records indicate symptoms started a week after starting Lisinopril. When my next visit they told me that the abdominal pain was most likely colon cancer. They also treated me for a h Polaris infection. Last week I stopped my BP and have had no symptom.
I just had a terrible bout with Lisinopril. I took it for 3 days, and each day the stomach pain got worse until the 3rd day was absolutely debilitating. It felt like my intestines were on fire and they were so swollen I thought they would burst. I refused to go to the emergency room because i knew from googling it that there was nothing they could do (except a lot of unnecessary tests or surgeries) so I just endured it writhing in pain for 36 hours until it finally started to subside. I reported it to my doctor so she could have a record and maybe warn patients, and she just said since I didn't go to the emergency room and she hasn't heard of this reaction that it must be something else. I don't take any other medications at all. I wouldn't wish this terrible ordeal on my worst enemy. but since doctors don't want to hear about it, more unsuspecting people will suffer this too.

Having what feels like pressure upper left side… with gas and bloating i look 7 mths pregnant… intestines are not Functioning normal been on this meds for like 5 years… could it cause this???
My husband currently taking this medication. He haven't had any problems with it so far, but I will be on the look out for these symptoms.
I am James from Bastrop. I have been off my Linisopril for 60 days with no reoccurrence of of the angieodemea of my intestines. I have done some research and it turns out that linisopril causes H-pylori and the H-pylori becomes a carcinogen. So my question is do I have to worry about intestinal, lung, liver or kidney cancer? After 10 years of thinking I was dying every night, now I have to worry about cancer. I did deserve this. No one does.
Same here. Ever since this medicine, I cannot eat without praying I can make it to the bathroom in time. It's horrible. The severe stabbing pains followed by having to go #2 asap.
I began taking this medication 5 days ago. On the third day, I was having excruciating abdominal pain/cramping and vomiting to the point of almost passing out. Went to the ER. White blood count elevated, rapid pulse and significant bloating. I had the pharmaceutical print out of possible reactions with me. Showed the first two Drs. and they basically laughed me off. Ended up having a CT scan and when the results came back; sure enough the radiologist and third doctor diagnosed angioedema. I was hospitalized, put on major steroids and pain medicine. Spent 2 nights and came home today. Still feeling cramped and not well but a hundred times better! This reaction needs to be recognized more! By far worse pain I have ever experienced. Doctors need to understand this better if they are going to prescribe this medicine. I am thankful the one ER doctor and radiologist listened to me. Sorry for those of you that had to endure such unnecessary procedures. Keep advocating for this diagnosis!!
I started taking lisinopril 10 mg. Today I came home from work due to sharp abdominal pain and diarrhea. Contacted my doctor and told me to monitor my symptoms for 2 days and continue the lisinopril, she said if the symptoms don't go away it's probably the lisinopril and a rare reaction…must be angioedema, at least she's aware and wont have to deal with looking like your nuts. Hoping she switches me to something different anyway. Best of luck to all of you dealing with this, and thanks to those who have shared their stories!
Started lisinopril 10 mg Jan 29 2019 by the 3rd day i thought i was dying . Worst stomach pain or pain i have ever had in my life. Never had bought with blood pressure being high until CDC rules on pain medication came out. Now i have uncontrolled pain and high blood pressure with heart problems due to CDC effects on doctors rx.
I have been taking the Lisinopril since Sep of 2018. In January my vision got blurry and have been lightheaded/sluggish feeling in my head. I have had nothing but stomach issues and was also put on omeprazole and antacids. The doc said oh your head issue is due to high blood pressure. My BP has never went over 148/90 as I know others are a lot higher. 3/13/19 I called the doc and said I am not taking this any longer and will have to change meds. My BP taking lisinopril is 118/68 and for 4 weeks I still feel lightheaded/vision blurry. I have heart palpitations now and never had any of this until taking this medicine. I know the side effects taked 1-2 weeks to leave the system after not taking anymore. I will update in 2 weeks if I am better.
I got off all prescribed BP meds. Started 300 mg of GNC Hawthorn extract. BP excellent, no side effects.
Started Lisiniprol last week after sever dizziness and dr visit revealed very high bp. Now as everyone ekse posted have several pain in left abdominal and am totally blocked up. Cannot have bowel movement all day. Just took stool softener and hope for the best. I see this was approved in 1978. So if it has such immediate issues why is it even used? Todays md's are just pill pushers and know nothing about treating real issues anymore.
To lower your blood pressure take 5HTP, Zinc…do research.
I just took lisinopril two times in the hospital. Bloated, pee and pee.
listen to what you say, they just stare at the computer and then tell you to come back in 3 months and increase the pill one more tablet.

Financial groups still don't get it
Jung Kyung-min
At a time when South Korea was burdened with stringent austerity measures in return for an international bailout, Wall Street celebrated a landmark deal on April 6, 1998, in the luxurious Waldorf Astoria Hotel. The occasion was the mega-merger between insurance group Travelers and Citicorp bank that resulted in the world's largest financial behemoth. The creation of a kind of financial supermarket had been a dream of Travelers Group chief executive Sanford Weill since he started out in the industry as a stock broker.
He became the first chief executive of the enlarged Citigroup. He then rewrote the rules of the Wall Street. Banking and insurance businesses had been kept separate under the Glass-Steagall Act that barred commercial banks from investment banking activities. The federal law was enacted in 1933 following domino bankruptcies of banks that went bust during the Great Depression in 1929 due to heavy losses from underwriting securities. That made Morgan Stanley split from JP Morgan.
The deal that created Citigroup paved the way for that wall of separation to fall. It allowed consolidation and agglomeration of investment and commercial banking on American soil to compete on equal footing with European-style universal banking. Citigroup was born, composed of Citicorp (banking), Travelers (insurance), Salomon Smith Barney (brokerage) and other financial units of the Travelers Group. They were separately incorporated entities, but operated as one organ. It had a secret integrated electronic network system that allowed different units to access client information and assets of others by classifying data under large categories of retail, wholesale and management instead of industrial sections like banking, securities and insurance. The group head ran the entire operation from a computer screen, This spawned ever-sprawling and growing financial holding companies.
With flexibility to cross over and jump around financial industries and instruments added to the elephantine size, American financial holding companies became omnipotent and mighty. Asia, struggling under a financial and liquidity crisis, and Russia in the wake of a debt moratorium, became easy prey for gigantic Wall Street predators. Wall Street absorbed the smartest brains around the world, flashing lifestyles and fat paychecks as bait. No wonder the holding company template came across as a shortcut to riches and a bonanza to Korean financiers.
The fad arrived in 2001 and spread wildly across the domestic financial field. Starting with Woori, all the other banks - Shinhan, Hana, Kookmin and Korea Development Bank, as well as foreign players Citicorp and Standard Chartered - turned into holding companies.
However, Korea's first holding company Woori Financial Group was born from an entirely different motivation. The group was forced by the government to bundle up all the weaklings and fallouts from the financial crisis - Hanvit Bank, Kyongnam and Kwangju Bank, Peace Bank and five other merchant banks. Unions of each bank violently resisted the move. The two regional banks remained as "isolated" subsidiaries until recently and were spun off to be put up for sale. Moreover, these financial groups relied on banking services for 80 percent of their revenues. Since the financial crisis, domestic financiers avoided risky investment banking and corporate financing and instead concentrated on easier mortgages and consumer loans. As a result, they became plant-eating dinosaurs. Any semblance of a synergy effect from financial consolidation was hard to find.
Because ownership was blurry, chief executives were handpicked by the government and financial regulators. Due to the equivocal role of the financial group chairman, in-house squabbles between the chiefs of the group and bank unit never ended. The recent noise over replacement of a computer network at KB Financial Group also stems from such internal power struggles.
A financial group is only meaningful when it generates synergy effects from one-stop consolidated financial services. A holding company arrangement is meaningless if there are no benefits from integration. We can hardly name one financial holding company that offers diversified services like Citigroup.
American financial groups have been blamed for the Wall Street meltdown in 2008 with their reckless ventures in subprime mortgages. As a result, companies have been chained to a new federal law preventing them from risky derivatives investment. Gone are the days when financial giants can dominate the playing field with size and money.
What we need are fast and flexible small players that can provide timely customized and diversified services for a wide range of consumers.

I would like to thank you for organizing so perfectly my memorable trip to Puglia. The hotels and restaurant choices were excellent.The educational tours were entertaining and memorable. In addition, all this was brought together by the professional Paola whose attention to details, caring attitude and keen ability to go beyond the call of duty was truly appreciated by me and the others. Paola's warmth and historical knowledge made my trip with SECRET ITALIA very special indeed. She is a credit to your company.I look forward to doing another tour with you hopefully in the not too distant future.
Good Morning Aldo,I am late in writing to you, for which I apologize, but I just wanted to say a big thank you for such an amazing holiday I had in Puglia. I was very impressed with your company and the professionalism in its organisation and structure. I thought the itinerary you had planned for Puglia was excellent, the choice of restaurants and places we visited were very good and especially your choice of guide, Paola an excellent guide, very organised and professional, highly knowledgeable and very nice to be with. Excellent find by you.All in all, it was a wonderful holiday thanks to you and your excellent organisational skills and I will certainly be using your company again for the Amalfi Coast and Sicily in the near future.
Thanks so much for the amazing tour we had. It has been absolutely enchanting and wonderful in every way. Highly recommend them. Francesca our guide astounds me. Very well informed, smart, funny and lots of fun as well as incredibly skillful at dealing with all our guides, hotels and excursions. I've visited Sicily twice but this time, I've finally understood this complex pot pouri with its convoluted history of invasion by almost everyone over the centuries. I've also met some enchanting new friends and had so much fun getting to know them ".Finally, I love your new information pack with maps and more details and very clear instructions for arrival and what to expect in Europe. It's very well explained and great. You just seem to go from strength to strength and now I'm sure you can't do better! I think I will have to find another of your tours for next year!! Francesca has me hooked.Also I thought I might send you an excerpt from an email I sent today to many friends and family. "Perhaps the most beautiful and ornate churches in the world, extraordinary seafood markets and incredible pistachio pastries and cassata gelati, home of the Mafia and amazing wineries alongside the best preserved Greek and Roman ruins in Europe. This is the contradiction and enigma of Sicily; the island of contradictions and surprises!I've been on another outstanding "Secret Italia" small group tour (whom I traveled with to Portugal).
Just back from Portugal and we had a marvelous time. This tour was an extraordinary experience for us offering many intimate insights into Portugal. So many unforgettable moments beyond the impressive structures and critical highlights: beautiful gardens, wonderful vineyard tours and tasting experiences, marvelous culinary experiences, the stellar and unique hotels, the charming "off the beaten path" village finds, and the private Duoro River cruise. Our tour itinerary demonstrated the careful selection of special tour elements and premium venues combined with excellent value that are the signature of a Secret Tour. We'd highly recommend this tour of Portugal. Thanks to everyone at Secret and the great tour guides.
Aldo, as our visit to Sicily comes to a close, we wanted to tell you how wonderful the past 11 days have been for us. Sicily is such a beautiful island with a rich history and culture, and the charm of Rosaria truly made all of this come alive for us; she is a jewel. Don't lose her. We have been on several Tauck tours in Europe. Your daily guides, the itinerary that you choose, the intimacy of the boutique hotels along the way, and the restaurants that are chosen provide an experience that they cannot duplicate. We will be forever thankful that we found Secret Italia, and we hope to see you again.
Peter and I would like to thank you for organizing a great tour of Puglia with a wonderful and exciting itinerary, fabulous food, great wine, unforgettable experiences and beautiful accommodations.Most of all, we would like to thank you for our tour guide, Paola. It was an absolute pleasure to have Paola as our travel guide for our amazing 10-day tour of Puglia. From the start to the conclusion of our tour, Paola's effervescent personality, genuine caring, engaging enthusiasm, pleasant sense of humor, and passion her heritage endeared her to our entire group. As we traveled throughout Puglia, Paola skillfully intertwined the rich history, multicultural features, and enchanting local charm of each captivating region of the Italian boot. During our planned free time, Paola would engage each couple and recommend various sites to explore, ensuring that their personal interests would be accommodated.Saying good bye was particularly emotional for all because of Paola's endearing kindness and sincerity. Our itinerary exposed us to the wonderful region of Southern Italy but Paola's presence every single day dramatically enhanced our wonderful travel experience. Kudos to the Secret Italia Tours for having such a unique, one of a kind professional on their team.
I just completed the Sicily tour and wanted to let you know what a wonderful experience it was. You have a real treasure in Rosaria. Her knowledge and enthusiasm were contagious. The whole group bonded and were unified in our admiration for Rosaria.The hotels were very nice, especially the final villa in Taormina.I could go on and on about the food, but that too was terrific. Many thanks to Secret Italia!
We were brand new to the 'group tour' experience. Each new day had us thinking about how selecting the Secret Italia tour was so much the right choice for this trip. We had a terrific time. The itinerary, the mix and balance each day, the choices of sites, and the pacing showed that our tour was designed with care, not merely assembled. That we were getting a sense of Sicily, not just checking off sites to see.Rosaria was a wonder for her energy, enthusiasm, and unwavering helpfulness.And for transforming a mix of cautious strangers into a group of traveling friends.
We have finally returned home to Australia after two months in Europe/U.K. and we would like you to know how much we enjoyed our tours with your company (Puglia/Basilicata and Sicily). Very well organized. Everything ran like clockwork. Beautiful accommodation, delicious food, interesting experiences, comfortable vehicles with excellent drivers. However, the 'icing on the cake' were the two tours managers, Paula and Daniela.True professionals, excellent knowledge, enthusiasm and love for their regions and a great sense of fun. If the rest of your tour managers are of the same caliber as these two ladies, you must have a very successful business. You appear to have the knack of choosing the right people and we hope you thoroughly appreciate them. We hope to travel with your company again one day.
We want to thank Secret Italia for their organization, coordination and production of a GREAT TOUR.The 12 Days Sicily Small Group tour exceeded our expectations. The hotels were all very good. The excursions, food, wine and motor coach were all first class. The itinerary was full but worth every minute. Aldo was easy to contact, very responsive to our questions and concerns and a pleasure to work with. Our guide Rosaria was fantastic. Her professionalism, attention to detail, enthusiastic personality and knowledge made the tour amazing. Marco, our driver, was exceptional. He navigated the challenging Sicilian roads with ease. Thank you for a very memorable vacation.
It was such a memorable trip. Portugal was beautiful and the people were so friendly and welcoming. Such beautiful country and our experience was so varied that I felt we got a great "feel" for all of Portugal . Carla was an excellent guide. She was knowledgeable, fun, and had great positive energy. She is such a positive addition to the Secret team. She added so much to the experience. This hotels were all excellent. I liked the variety and locations of all of them. The idea of a small, unusual hotel well located to the heart of the town was very appealing to me. The staff and the food at each were excellent. Our meals at the wineries were unforgettable. Not only were they delicious and located in beautiful settings, we had a chance to talk with the locals. I really liked the fact that the group was small. It made for great comradery and we could experience more and different things than a larger group can.
The trip to Madeira was the frosting on the cake. It is such a beautiful, enchanting place. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it was so relaxing. The hotel was exceptional. It was beautiful and so quiet and peaceful.The restaurant there was very high quality and we enjoyed all our meals there including 3 dinners.
Trust the Locals is an excellent way to describe your trips. We were able to have a quality and unforgettable experience. Great job to all your Secret team and a huge thanks to you.
Dear Aldo and Katrin, Thanks so much for a my recently completed small group tour of Andalusia. This was my first visit to Spain and is the first time I've taken an organised tour – I truly enjoyed having someone else look after all the details! The local guides in each place we visited were exceptional as were the hotels and restaurants. Our tour leader Laura deserves a very special thank you for her personal attention and great recommendations for our free time in each place we visited. An unforgettable experience – highly recommended!
Hello Aldo, I hope you are recovering well from our tour and enjoying time at home with your family. Since I returned to work I have been raving about the tour! You run an excellent operation. All of the details are mastered and that makes it go so smoothly. We fully enjoyed both islands and all of the experiences. We can even get Sardinian Cannonau and Monica at the nearby wine store! Again, thanks for making it great.
Dear Aldo, Thank you so very much for one of the most memorable trips I have ever taken…MALTA You convinced me that the way to see the world is in small groups. Your Secret Italia Tours of Malta was perfection, touching on every aspect of truly getting to know and enjoy the area you are visiting and its history. I have already started to recommend you and your trips to my relatives and friends. It was a pleasure getting to know you and experiencing the personal commitment you have to your guests.
