One review looked at how the KD and modified Atkins diet (MAD) helped with seizure control in adults. Across the 5 studies reviewed, 32% of KD-treated patients achieved ≥50% seizure reduction while a slightly lower 29% of MAD-treated patients hit that same target. Even more drastic was the 9% KD-treated and 5% MAD-treated patients that achieved >90% seizure frequency reduction.4
The ketogenic diet is usually initiated in combination with the patient's existing anticonvulsant regimen, though patients may be weaned off anticonvulsants if the diet is successful. Some evidence of synergistic benefits is seen when the diet is combined with the vagus nerve stimulator or with the drug zonisamide, and that the diet may be less successful in children receiving phenobarbital.[18]
While I would like to offer a magic bullet for all cancers, a ketogenic diet is not that. The diet does not "cure" cancer. It should not be used to replace traditional treatment. But the diet has shown promise for some cancers especially GBM. So why would a diet help? On a simplistic level, cancer "eats" glucose and needs 20 times more glucose compared to normal cells. Cancer cells cannot make the transition to using ketones, especially in the brain, making them more vulnerable to chemo and radiation.
By doing this, HDL prevents cholesterol from accumulating and clogging arteries. Thus, elevated levels of cholesterol are integral in maintaining optimal cardiovascular health. [3] HDL is typically measured through an HDL-C test, which shows the concentration of cholesterol bound to HDL. Clinically acceptable levels of HDL cholesterol are 40-60 mg/dl and 50-60 mg/dl for women. [4] HDL levels above 60 mg/dl are ideal as they lower the risk of cardiovascular illnesses. [4]
As the Atkins diet makes abundantly clear, problem foods like gluten and dairy can slip into the strictest low-carb or keto plans. I often see patients "doing keto" with massive amounts of cheese or processed meats full of fillers, which is a terrible idea. These potential top food sensitivities increase inflammation and create problems with gut permeability, leading to leaky gut syndrome.
Health Impact News has reported on many of the disease reversing results of the ketogenic (high fat-moderate protein-low carb) diet. Now, a new study is looking at the positive effects of gut bacteria among those following a ketogenic diet for epilepsy. Even though Johns Hopkins used a ketogenic diet for curing epilepsy over 80 years ago, when medical drugs did not help epilepsy effectively, mainstream medicine continues to rely on new and expensive toxic drugs for epileptic children. The "cocktail" combinations of pharmaceutical drugs prescribed often worsens childhood epilepsy. Health Impact News previously published a report on how a four year old child with refractory epilepsy (not treatable with pharmaceutical medications), was treated at the Rochester, Minnesota Mayo Clinic using a ketogenic diet. At first, the child was also kept on pharmaceuticals. The results were poor until he was taken off the medications; then he began healing completely. A new Chinese study on pediatric epileptic cases may even draw the attention of mainstream medical professionals, due to the results seen in children's gut microbiota structure when following a high-fat ketogenic diet.
In 1920 a New York physician, Dr. Galen, reported at the American Medical Association convention that he had had significant success in treating epilepsy by initiating a program of fasting. At that time the only pharmaceutical interventions that were available included phenobarbital and bromides. Interestingly, the patient he treated was actually a young cousin who had aggressive seizures. On the second day of fasting the child's epilepsy abated and did not return over the next two years of follow-up. Further studies appearing in 1923, 1926, 1928, all confirmed the effectiveness of fasting as an effective treatment for seizures.

^ Ketogenic "eggnog" is used during induction and is a drink with the required ketogenic ratio. For example, a 4:1 ratio eggnog would contain 60 g of 36% heavy whipping cream, 25 g pasteurised raw egg, saccharin and vanilla flavour. This contains 245 kcal (1,025 kJ), 4 g protein, 2 g carbohydrate and 24 g fat (24:6 = 4:1).[17] The eggnog may also be cooked to make a custard, or frozen to make ice cream.[37]
In essence, it is a diet that causes the body to release ketones into the bloodstream. Most cells prefer to use blood sugar, which comes from carbohydrates, as the body's main source of energy. In the absence of circulating blood sugar from food, we start breaking down stored fat into molecules called ketone bodies (the process is called ketosis). Once you reach ketosis, most cells will use ketone bodies to generate energy until we start eating carbohydrates again. The shift, from using circulating glucose to breaking down stored fat as a source of energy, usually happens over two to four days of eating fewer than 20 to 50 grams of carbohydrates per day. Keep in mind that this is a highly individualized process, and some people need a more restricted diet to start producing enough ketones.
There are several medical studies — such as two conducted by the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center for the University of Iowa, and the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, for example — that show the ketogenic diet is an effective treatment for cancer and other serious health problems. (12)
There have been a few studies of the modified Atkins Diet in adults with seizure disorders, and the results are similar to studies with children. Interestingly, it was remarked in one of the reports that it was more difficult to keep adults on the diet since they obviously have more control over what they eat. Research is still limited in this area and more trials are needed.
I am small, physically fit and a runner. I have a strong family history of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. My cholesterol was 212 last year, 339 this year after 5 months of keto. Of course my doctor immediately wants me to abandon keto. My 339 # was fasting. I have ready that in the fasting state when you are lean, your cholesterol can be high.
Additionally, research suggests that during menopause, women may experience an increased thickening of the carotid intima and media layers of the arteries, a marker of subclinical atherosclerosis. In a study of 249 middle-aged women, those who were postmenopausal or in the late stages of perimenopause were much more likely to show progression of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) than those in early perimenopause (11).
2. I agree, progression of the score is now all that matters. Any concern with the NMR/other biomarker results, or am I a classic Lean Mass Hyperresponder, hyperabsorber? The literature is FILLED with studies showing raised TC/LDL on a fasting/ketogenic protocol. So is this simply physiological "view" and not an underlying fundamentally artherogenic profile?
Because it lacks carbohydrates, a ketogenic diet is rich in proteins and fats. It typically includes plenty of meats, eggs, processed meats, sausages, cheeses, fish, nuts, butter, oils, seeds, and fibrous vegetables. Because it is so restrictive, it is really hard to follow over the long run. Carbohydrates normally account for at least 50% of the typical American diet. One of the main criticisms of this diet is that many people tend to eat too much protein and poor-quality fats from processed foods, with very few fruits and vegetables. Patients with kidney disease need to be cautious because this diet could worsen their condition. Additionally, some patients may feel a little tired in the beginning, while some may have bad breath, nausea, vomiting, constipation, and sleep problems.
Over the past century, ketogenic diets have also been used as natural remedies to treat and even help reverse neurological disorders and cognitive impairments, including epilepsy, Alzheimer's symptoms, manic depression and anxiety. Research shows that cutting off glucose levels with a very low-carb diet makes your body produce ketones for fuel. This change can help to reverse neurological disorders and cognitive impairment, including inducing seizure control. The brain is able to use this alternative source of energy instead of the cellular energy pathways that aren't functioning normally in patients with brain disorders.
A: It's generally recommended that only 5 percent of your daily diet is allocated to carbohydrates because if you consume more than that, your body gets thrown off ketosis. However, this is only for SKD, or the standard ketogenic diet. If you're an athlete or a bodybuilder, you can consume more carbs without affecting ketosis by following a targeted ketogenic diet (TKD) or a cyclic ketogenic diet (CKD).
After my original lengthy conversation with Dr. Kelley, my research mentor Dr. Good suggested that during my summer break I begin an informal review of Kelley's patient charts located in his Dallas office. From my first day in Dallas, I found among Kelley's records patient after patient with appropriately diagnosed poor prognosis or what would be considered terminal disease such as metastatic pancreatic and metastatic breast cancer, who had done well under his care for many years, often with documented regression of his disease.
With this rationale, VanItallie et al. [39, Class III] performed a feasibility study with PD patients and the ketogenic diet. They explored whether PD patients would be able to prepare the ketogenic diet in their homes and remain on it for at least 1 month. Of seven patients enrolled, five completed the study. They were monitored for ketone levels and weekly Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores. All the patients lost weight. Interestingly, the mean decrease in UPDRS scores was 43.4%. A placebo effect is not ruled out, but this result at least suggests that the ketogenic diet was not harmful and certainly invites further study into its role in preserving neuron function in PD and other neurodegenerative diseases. The possibility that the diet may have altered levodopa absorption (and that this factor, rather than an effect of the diet on neuronal function, was responsible for the change) has not been studied rigorously [40].
Energy Deprivation. By its nature, the ketogenic diet is very low in carbohydrates (typically 20 to 50 grams/day) and naturally restricts calorie consumption. This restricts the amount of fuel that cancer cells receive, even for the cancer cells that are able to thrive off of multiple substrates. Furthermore, almost all cancer cells seem to lack the ability to use the ketones produced when carbs consumption is restricted. Thus, cancer patients who are keto-adapted will probably be the most effective at starving cancer cells.
There are other studies, but little or nothing in the way of randomized clinical trials. For instance, a recent retrospective study of 53 patients, of whom only six followed a ketogenic diet while being treated for GBM, concluded that the diet was safe, but no suggestion of efficacy was noted. More recently, a German group examined the effect of a ketogenic diet on 16 patients with advanced cancer of various types who had exhausted all therapeutic options. The treatment didn't result in any serious side effects, although subjects found it very difficult to maintain the diet, particularly in the context of family life. Only five were able to complete the three month treatment period, and it was reported that these five didn't have progression while on the diet. Of the remaining 11, two died early, one was unable to tolerate the diet and dropped out very quickly, two dropped out for personal reasons, one couldn't continue the diet for more than a month and three had disease progression within less than 2 months of starting the diet and one dropped out to resume chemotherapy. As a whole, this study was well-nigh uninterpretable due to the different kinds of cancer, other than to conclude that less than 50% of patients with advanced cancer could adhere to the diet, and that those who could generally had no significant side effects. Of course, it's unclear whether the diet helped the five who could adhere to it or whether those who adhered to it could do so because they had more indolent, less aggressive disease.
For patients interested in the keto diet, a more moderate approach may be advised. There is evidence that cutting down on the amount of refined carbohydrates in typical diets and increasing the amount of healthy fats consumed can be beneficial to one's overall health. Before altering your diet in any way, you should always consult with your doctor and registered dietitian.
The original therapeutic diet for paediatric epilepsy provides just enough protein for body growth and repair, and sufficient calories[Note 1] to maintain the correct weight for age and height. The classic therapeutic ketogenic diet was developed for treatment of paediatric epilepsy in the 1920s and was widely used into the next decade, but its popularity waned with the introduction of effective anticonvulsant medications. This classic ketogenic diet contains a 4:1 ratio by weight of fat to combined protein and carbohydrate. This is achieved by excluding high-carbohydrate foods such as starchy fruits and vegetables, bread, pasta, grains, and sugar, while increasing the consumption of foods high in fat such as nuts, cream, and butter.[1] Most dietary fat is made of molecules called long-chain triglycerides (LCTs). However, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs)—made from fatty acids with shorter carbon chains than LCTs—are more ketogenic. A variant of the classic diet known as the MCT ketogenic diet uses a form of coconut oil, which is rich in MCTs, to provide around half the calories. As less overall fat is needed in this variant of the diet, a greater proportion of carbohydrate and protein can be consumed, allowing a greater variety of food choices.[4][5]
Physicians of ancient Greece treated diseases, including epilepsy, by altering their patients' diet. An early treatise in the Hippocratic Corpus, On the Sacred Disease, covers the disease; it dates from c. 400 BC. Its author argued against the prevailing view that epilepsy was supernatural in origin and cure, and proposed that dietary therapy had a rational and physical basis.[Note 3] In the same collection, the author of Epidemics describes the case of a man whose epilepsy is cured as quickly as it had appeared, through complete abstinence of food and drink.[Note 4] The royal physician Erasistratus declared, "One inclining to epilepsy should be made to fast without mercy and be put on short rations."[Note 5] Galen believed an "attenuating diet"[Note 6] might afford a cure in mild cases and be helpful in others.[11]
Ive been strict keto for over 3 months and have lost 20lbs. I got my test results back yesterday and was shocked to see how my levels had changed: total cholesterol went from 230 to 308!! All the bad went up and all the good went down. But I've also heard that it can take a bit longer for cholesterol levels to even out and start going down. Is this true? I don't want to quit keto because I have another 20lbs to lose, but I don't want to have a stroke either.
This book is an excellent source for those who want to know much of the details about a Ketogenic diet for cancer but who need it succinctly. Miriam Kalamian's book has more detail, but I have had friends tell me it was more than they wanted to know. For those people Ellen Davis's book would be best. There were some things I learned from Davis that I did not learn from Kalamian. The only problem with Davis is that there is NO INDEX. That means if you want to go back to something you remember, you have no quick and easy way to find it. Because of that I wound up reading it 3 times, each of which had value. However, I would have appreciated an index. But the book has so much that I did not want to take away a star. When I find something of value in a book, I mark it up. My copy has marks all over.
The American Academy of Neurology and the Child Neurology Society recommend adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) as the first line of therapy for infantile spasms. The goals for this medication are to completely stop the infantile spasms and improve the abnormal EEG. In some cases, pediatric neurologists prescribe the seizure medication Sabril® (vigabatrin), especially for patients with tuberous sclerosis. Both drugs work well, but your child's doctor will talk with you about which medicine may be the better choice for your child.
The ketogenic diet may have a role in treating disorders of cellular proliferation, especially cancer. Just as chemotherapy selectively targets tumors based on differences in the way they divide compared with normal cells, investigators have proposed targeting tumors on the basis of differences in their metabolism. Normal tissue can adapt readily to using ketones (instead of glucose) as a substrate, but malignant cells probably do not have the same degree of metabolic flexibility [23]. One case report in 1995 [24, Class III] described the use of the ketogenic diet in two girls with advanced astrocytomas, based on the idea that brain tumors are less able than healthy brain tissue to use ketones as an energy source. In this report, PET studies demonstrated a 20% reduction in glucose uptake by the tumors following the initiation of the ketogenic diet. One of the patients actually showed improvement during the course of the study and has continued to be well, without evidence of tumor progression (T. Seyfried, personal communication, 2008).
Jimmy Moore: Yes, so it's a spiral effect. It's not necessarily the high triglycerides, but the high triglycerides definitely is an indication you're not eating something correctly that might be causing those issues. One other thing about the diet we hadn't talked about that I thinks really important needs to come out is protein. When you're eating protein in excess, it can act just like carbohydrate in the body, which would show up in your triglycerides, would show up on your blood sugar and your fasting insulin levels. That's important too. Sometimes Leanne, they've heard you talk about low carb, high fat, okay great. I'm going to have green beans and I'm going to have a chicken breast and then I'm going to put half of a table spoon of butter, man that is so high fat. I'm going to do so good and then they wonder an hour and a half later, "Why am I so hungry?"
Several laboratory abnormalities have been reported in children on the ketogenic diet, although none has been found to have clinical significance. Patients on the ketogenic diet are in a chronic acidotic state, putting them at risk for osteopenia. Some studies have shown a progressive loss of bone mineral content, resulting in osteopenia and osteoporosis; this loss occurred with ketogenic diet treatment despite improved serum vitamin D concentrations.
One theory is that an extreme increase in cholesterol may be common in those undergoing rapid weight loss. This is because the fat cells we have stored in our adipose tissue contain high amounts of both triglycerides and cholesterol. When we begin to break down our stored fat to be metabolized for energy, cholesterol in the blood goes up temporarily.
For centuries, fasting has been used to treat many diseases, including seizures. Water diets without food for days to weeks were used in the 1800s and early 1900s by many physicians treating epilepsy, but these diets and fasting could only be done for short periods of time. Dr. Russell Wilder at the Mayo Clinic suggested in July 1921 that a diet high in fat and low in carbohydrates could maintain ketosis (a metabolic state in which the body burns fat for energy – instead of carbohydrates – and turns them into ketone bodies) longer than fasting alone. In addition, Wilder suggested this metabolic state could be maintained on a long-term basis. He was the first to name this regimen "The Ketogenic Diet."
In terms of our specific discussion, diet as cancer treatment, Dr. Kelley demonstrated more recently in his Dallas, Texas, and Winthrop, Washington offices, no one diet suits all patients diagnosed with the disease, quite the contrary. Over a 20 year period working in the trenches treating many thousands of people, Dr. Kelley came to learn that each patient who walked into his office required a diet designed specifically for his or her metabolic needs, and these dietary requirements could vary enormously from patient to patient.
A ketogenic diet promotes healing of the brain following TBI by increasing the activity of genes genes involved in energy metabolism, stimulating the generation of new mitochondria, and inhibiting the production of damaging reactive oxygen species in the brain. (24) In animal models of TBI, a ketogenic diet reduces cerebral edema and neuronal cell death while improving behavioral outcomes. (25, 26) While individual success stories of people using a ketogenic diet for TBI are easy to find on the internet, formal clinical trials are still needed.
Jimmy Moore: Let's look at all of those things. Let's look at the triglycerides, let's look at the HDL, let's look at the HSCRP, let's see how your blood sugar is doing, your fasting insulin levels are doing. All of it matters and I think anybody that tries to do treatment of their high cholesterol, which is not a disease by the way, they might even call it hypercholesterolemia, to make it sound like it's just this dastardly thing. It's just a medical term that says you have high cholesterol.

On a "strict" (standard) keto diet, fats typically provides about 70 percent to 80 percent of total daily calories, protein about 15 percent to 20 percent, and carbohydrates just around 5 percent. However, a more "moderate" approach to the keto diet is also a good option for many people that can allow for an easier transition into very low-carb eating and more flexibility (more on these types of plans below).
Similar trends in adverse events have been noted in children. One key concern is the high risk of osteoporosis, which reaches as high as 20% in KD cases. Along with osteoporosis come growth issues. "Children on the classic KD do often grow slightly slower than children not on the diet. When the diet stops, there is 'catch-up' growth, usually to normal," said Kossoff.
Research suggests that cancer cells with low levels of particular enzymes (the ketolytic enzymes 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase and succinyl CoA 3-oxoacid CoA transferase) are more susceptible to the anticancer effects of a ketogenic diet. Screening a patient's cancer cells for these enzymes may represent a valuable strategy for determining whether a ketogenic diet may be of use. (39)
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that's recently become popular for weight loss. But the diet has been used to treat epilepsy since the 1920s, according to the Epilepsy Society, a charity in the United Kingdom. Although most people with epilepsy today control their seizures with anti-epileptic drugs, the diet is sometimes prescribed to children with epilepsy who have not responded to several medications.
During the first half of the 20th century, physicians and researchers studying the traditional Eskimo (Inuit) culture were amazed by the health of these people subsisting on a very peculiar – at least to the Western academic mind – high fat ketogenic diet. The famed Arctic explorer Stefansson first documented the traditional Eskimo diet, which was later studied in some detail in the early 1930s by a research team from McGill University in Montreal.
Kidney stones have occurred in about 6 percent of patients and may be increased in younger patients (<3 years of age), and those with hypercalciuria and low urine volume. Oral potassium citrate as a preventative supplement results in urine alkalinization, decreasing the prevalence of kidney stones. Universal supplementation appears to drop the risk of stones to nearly zero.

Jimmy Moore: 300 is the normal. Yes. That's 100 points higher than authorities today would say is "normal". Yet if they put them on cholesterol lowering medication, do you know they would have been at greater risk for heart disease if they took that pill then they're total cholesterol being 300. I think it all circles back around to it's not about the cholesterol people, it really is about the inflammation.
You can change that genetics. I can't change the genetic tendency, it's going to be there. By golly, I'm going to pay attention to everything that I put in my mouth for that sake alone. Anyone with that kind of history, I don't think it's reason to freak out. I don't think it's a reason to think it's an inevitability for you. It's just one of those things that you have to pay attention to all of your numbers, anal retentively. That's why I pay attention to my HSCRP so closely, that's why I run my numbers so often. I know I have that tendency. I probably, had I not lost the 180 pounds in 2004, I would be in an early grave just like my brother.
In my monograph One Man Alone, I included a case report of a patient treated by Kelley, diagnosed with an inoperable and very aggressive form of brain cancer that had spread into the spinal canal. After failing radiation, the patient began treatment with Dr. Kelley in 1981. At the time, the patient's wife actually had to administer the treatment, even the coffee enemas, since the patient himself was largely incoherent and wheelchair bound.
In the first week, many people report headaches, mental fogginess, dizziness, and aggravation. Most of the time, this is the result of your electrolytes being flushed out, as ketosis has a diuretic effect. Make sure you drink plenty of water and keep your sodium intake up.6One of the fathers of keto, Dr. Phinney, shows that electrolyte levels (especially sodium) can become unbalanced with low carb intake.
Also, consider supplementing with the amino acid leucine, as it can be broken down directly into acetyl-CoA, making it one of the most important ketogenic amino acids in the body. While most other amino acids are converted into glucose, the acetyl-CoA formed from leucine can be used to make ketone bodies. It's also present in keto friendly foods like eggs and cottage cheese.
Failing to consume enough calories on a keto diet can cause fatigue and insomnia, while an insufficient protein intake promotes weight gain and muscle loss. When you first begin a keto diet, it can be helpful to track your food intake with an app such as Carb Manager Keto Diet App; this will allow you to visualize your macronutrient intake and ensure that you don't undereat calories or protein. As I mentioned earlier, a low-protein intake is not required to obtain the benefits of keto. A sufficient protein intake (15 to 30 percent of total calories) suppresses hunger and, in most people, does not affect blood ketone levels. (43)
While I can appreciate Mr. Feldman's efforts and I am also a hyper responder, I have no doubt that cholesterol levels are merely an artifact / symptom of the real cause of CVD which is hyperinsulinemia which for type 2 diebetics or pre-diabetics (which are simply undiagnosed diabetics) is due to high carbohydrate diets causing high blood glucose levels as well as other known causes of infllammation such as trans fat and high omega 6 to omega 3 ratios. In other words, there is no need to try and cure the symptom which is controlling lipoprotein levels directly.
However, this doesn't happen in every case or even most cases. In fact, many people see little to no increase in their LDL cholesterol while experiencing beneficial changes in other markers, such as an increase in HDL cholesterol and a decrease in triglycerides, blood sugar, and insulin levels – all of which are associated with reduced risk of CVD.
As you might suspect, this metabolic theory of cancers is controversial in the mainstream cancer paradigm, but there's already promising initial evidence to support it, and most traditional cancer specialists concede that this metabolic theory has merit, and it may be a piece of the puzzle. I would say that the dominant paradigm idea right now is that metabolic dysfunction is likely one of the pieces of the puzzle, but that cancer is multifactorial and probably does involve genetic mutations that may be independent of metabolic dysfunction and that there are other causes that may not be directly related to metabolic dysfunction.
Similar results were reported by a telemedical guided weight loss program among 200 overweight adults, where triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol levels were lower at month 6 in the keto diet group compared to the low-fat group. The conclusion was that a low-carb diet has more benefits in reducing cardiovascular risks compared to the low-fat diet (12).
Nonetheless, enthusiastic oncologists joined with the media, portraying insurance companies as heartless, greedy bullies depriving women with breast cancer of a curative treatment. Not too long after, the trial lawyers got involved, orchestrating a series of lawsuits against various insurance companies on behalf of women wanting a BMT. In a particularly notable and telling case, Fox vs. HealthNet, the jury awarded the plaintiff, a woman diagnosed with breast cancer whose insurance carrier refused to cover the procedure, $89 million, including $77 million in punitive damages.
Meat – like grass-fed selections – and fresh veggies are more expensive than most processed or fast foods. What you spend on Keto-friendly foods will vary with your choices of protein source and quality. You can select less-expensive, leaner cuts of meat and fatten them up with some oil. Buying less-exotic, in-season veggies will help keep you within budget.
Having first read Dr. Price's book during my journalism days, I knew that according to his exhaustive work, humans were a varied species, in the past living in and adapting to all ecological niches excepting the Antarctic, offering a variety of food sources. To me, his work offered a solution to the conflicting dietary advice even then being offered to the world. It didn't make sense as Nathan Pritikin insisted or as Bob Atkins argued, that all humans should follow one specific type of diet: It just didn't seem reasonable, to me at least.

Q: Regex to test that a string contains both upper case and lower case letters I'm looking for a Regex to test that a string contains both upper case and lower case letters.
I found a few threads on this but and they suggest using a forward lookup, but I can't seem to make it fit in with the rest of my expression, I'm looking to test for this:
James Smith (ecg)

But exclude this (the (ecg) is always lower case):
JAMES SMITH (ecg)

So far I have this:
[A-z\s\W]+(\(ecg\))?\W?<\/b>

Which works but will also match if it's all in caps or all in lower case.
I tried this but it's still matching everything:
(.*(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).*)[A-z\s\W]+(\(ecg\))?\W?<\/b>

A: You can use
(?=[A-Z\s]*[a-z])(?=[a-z\s]*[A-Z])[\sA-Za-z]*(?:\(ecg\))?<\/b>

See the regex demo
Details

*

* - a  text

*(?=[A-Z\s]*[a-z]) - after 0 or more uppercase letters or whitespaces, there must be at least one lowercase letter

*(?=[a-z\s]*[A-Z]) - after 0 or more lowercase letters or whitespaces, there must be at least one uppercase letter

*[\sA-Za-z]* - zero or more letters/whitespaces

*(?:\(ecg\))? - an optional (ecg) text

*<\/b> - a  text.

A: You could use an OR condition, checking for a lowercase letter followed by any number of other characters and an uppercase letter, OR, an uppercase letter followed by any number of other characters and at least one lowercase letter.
(([a-z].*[A-Z])|([A-Z].*[a-z])) \(ecg\)

You should plan your trip before traveling. Ahead, are some great ways to do just that.
Let a family member know your itinerary. That way, a family member will know where you're supposed to be at all times. Stay in contact to be safe. Hearing from you occasionally and knowing your whereabouts eases their minds.
When you make a reservation, ask about renovations. You don't want to be woke up while on vacation. By knowing in advance, you adjust your trip as necessary.
When packing light for longer trips, try bringing a softly-lined raincoat. Many times it is very difficult to predict how the weather will turn out. You may not realize it, but the additional lightweight coat you bring to protect yourself against the rain can also keep you warm in colder weather.
You can see exotic animal and plant life in the memorable and remarkable vistas of the desert. There is something especially memorable about deserts for the first-time visitor, and no one should go their entire lives without experiencing the austere majesty of the desert.
Plan in advance for possible travel disruptions, like a lost passport. The United States Department of State has a website (usembassy.state.gov)with the contact information for the United States Consulate or Embassy at the country you're visiting. Carry this information while traveling. In the majority of cases, a passport replacement is ready within a couple of days.
The major airlines all have e-newsletters, and subscribing has its benefits. The airlines use these newsletters to give you opportunities for deals that are not available elsewhere. While you might think that these e-newsletters are just extra clutter filling up your inbox, it will be worth it if you save money.
Planning is essential when taking a trip. It can help you feel more prepared and less stressed. You're not going to be worried or anxious when you have properly planned, and you can instead rest and have confidence as you enjoy yourself.

'Goodbye Deanna' surprise party given
Friends say goodbye to Deanna West-Torrence, who is leaving for South Carolina

MANSFIELD Friends tried to hold back tears during a surprise party for Deanna West-Torrence — saying goodbye to the founder of the North End Community Improvement Collaborative, who is moving to South Carolina, where her children and grandchildren now live.
Supporters called her a caring and compassionate person with a strong vision for bringing people together and making Mansfield's north end stronger.
NECIC is given credit by many as one of Mansfield's most effective grassroots organizations.
Since it got started in 2007, the nonprofit group has developed an Elder Program, community tool shed, faith-based advisory council and leadership institute, fostered community gardens and a north end farmers market, an automotive recycling project and small grants program to aid in neighborhood initiatives.
West-Torrence, a 1987 graduate of Malabar High School, found herself raising four children under the age of 7 alone on the city's North End — a single mother unable to finish college following a divorce.
She got her start in the nonprofit sector working at the Community Health Access Project as that program — created to decrease high infant mortality and increase birth weights for babies born to low-income mothers living on the North End, got off the ground in 1999.
West-Torrence eventually became assistant executive director, and was program director for CHAP's Mansfield site.
In 2000, she was elected to represent the 5th Ward on Mansfield City Council, after initially replacing her grandfather, James Alexander, after he resigned on his 80th birthday.
She left elected office after four years to head up the city's Department of Regional Community Advancement (Neighborhood Youth Corps program) at Ocie Hill Neighborhood Center.
She has served on the Mansfield City Schools Board of Education as well as other task forces and advisory committees around the city.
NECIC came as a brainstorm. West-Torrence had seen how the North End had deteriorated as neighborhood businesses and schools closed, and once well-kept houses grew shabby.
North End churches have locked their doors, houses have become vacant and people have gone hungry, she said.

But "those are simple problems in our community — they are simple, not hard," West-Torrence said.
She had a vision of connecting the dots between real assets on the North End and finding solutions, she said.
West-Torrence told friends she's leaving to be closer to her children and grandchildren. Two sons, Adam and Tag, found jobs in Greenville, S.C, while another son, Elijah, took classes at North Central State College. Daughter Maya became a petty officer at the Naval Postgraduate Dental School in Bethesda, Md.
Col. Michael J. Howard, vice commander of the 179th Airlift Wing of the Ohio National Guard and an NECIC board member and former chairman, will replace West-Torrence as NECIC's director when she leaves this month.
The luncheon at Ed Pickens' Cafe on Main came as a complete surprise, West-Torrence said. She'd been told Howard needed to meet with her for a "working lunch" to discuss the agenda for a board meeting.
When she decided to wear jeans to work Tuesday, an NECIC staffer suggested she go home and change, saying Howard planned the meeting for a nice restaurant.
Staffers let her stay busy all morning, copying papers she'd need for the "meeting."
It took a little time after she walked into the restaurant for her to figure out that all those familiar faces were there in her honor, she said.
Howard described West-Torrence as a person whose vision for the future is "almost like a magnet that pulls you in."
Howard said he'd told her when he retired from the Air Guard he'd like to be NECIC's "lead volunteer," but she surprised him by saying there might be a bigger role in store.
"I am so excited to be able to carry on her work," he said.
West-Torrence thanked the friends who came by for the surprise luncheon.
"I was born here, and I was the recipient of many, many kindnesses from many, many people," she said. "There were people who all along have held their hand out to me."
"After years on city council, I realized we just needed a plan," she said.
"We can't divide ourselves off as 'I'm rich, I'm poor, I'm a Democrat, I'm a Republican, I'm from the North End, I'm from the South End,'" she said. "We have jewels in the community that we need to uncover."
"I get a lot of credit and I appreciate that. But none of us do it alone," West-Torrence said.
The Rev. James Cosby said the NECIC director acted unselfishly, working without demanding a lot of thanks, for the betterment of Mansfield. "She has shown us — without a vision, people would perish," he said.

Q: Keep running a SQL procedure while browsing elsewhere in the application I am facing a technical issue on a web-app development :
Here is the goal :
By clicking on a button, the user launches a SQL/Oracle procedure that takes about 5 to 10 minutes to come to an end successfully. The procedure is composed of 4 steps :

*

*deleting users ...

*deleting data ...

*copying users ...

*copying datas ...

While the procedure is running, the user can't launch a second one, but any other thing can be done (browsing elsewhere in the application, even shutting-down the browser). In every situation, the procedure completes in the background.
Here is the technical challenge for me :
After clicking, if any user access or stay on the launching page, I want the user to see the monitoring of the execution progressing (the 4 steps).
Thus, I've got to think about some kind of a refresh of the page when the user stays on it.
Technologies of the web-app :

*

*Java/Java EE, Struts, Spring, Oracle SQL9i

*NO AJAX
Do you have any suggestion on how to make it work ?
Thanks.

A: The simplest possible approach would be to have your application submit a job using the DBMS_JOB package that ran the four steps in a separate session.  You could either use the DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO package to instrument your code so that the front end can report on the current status or you could write to a separate log table and query that log table from the front-end.  You could prevent a second job from being submitted either by having the job acquire a user-defined lock using the DBMS_LOCK package (which would be more robust) or by having the front-end check to see if there was a job already submitted in the DBA_JOBS table.  Your front-end could then just automatically refresh the page and display the current status.

The Latest: Canada gives first doses COVID-19 vaccine
by Mollie G. Tenorio on December 16, 2020 in foreign business
TORONTO — Canada has administered its first doses of COVID-19 vaccine.
Five front-line workers in Ontario are among the first Canadians to receive the vaccine at one of Toronto's hospitals.
Three personal support workers, a registered nurse, and a registered practical nurse who work at the Rekai Centre nursing home are among the first to receive it.
Ontario received 6,000 doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine Sunday night and plans to give them to about 2,500 health-care workers.
Residents of two long-term care homes Quebec will be the first to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in that province.
THE VIRUS OUTBREAK:
— COVID-19 vaccine shipments begin in historic US effort
— Tens of thousands of new child brides are being married off as their families struggle amid the pandemic's economic fallout
— London and nearby areas will be placed under the highest level of restrictions starting Wednesday
— AP PHOTOS: Italian health workers still under enormous strain. One says "Christmas I will be here. Just like I had Easter here, just like August here, just like every day."
— Scientists focus on bats for clues to prevent next pandemic
— After 110,000 virus deaths, U.S. nursing homes face vaccine fears

LONDON — Britain's health secretary says London and surrounding areas will be placed under the highest level of coronavirus restrictions starting Wednesday as infections rise rapidly in the capital.
Matt Hancock said Monday that a new variant of the virus may be to blame. He added that the government must take swift action after seeing "very sharp, exponential rises" in Greater London and nearby Kent and Essex. He said that in some areas, cases are doubling every seven days.
He told lawmakers that the surge of COVID-19 cases in southern England may be associated with a new variant of coronavirus. He didn't provide details about the virus variant, but stressed there was nothing to suggest it was more likely to cause serious disease, or that it wouldn't respond to a vaccine.
"We've currently identified over 1,000 cases with this variant predominantly in the south of England although cases have been identified in nearly 60 different local authority areas," he said. "And numbers are increasing rapidly."
Hancock said officials are assessing the new strand of the virus, and that the World Health Organization has been notified.
NEW ORLEANS — Louisiana administered its first coronavirus vaccines Monday at a New Orleans area hospital.
Workers at the facility who regularly encounter COVID-19 patients got the vaccine as Gov. John Bel Edwards watched the immunizations.
Dr. Leonardo Seoane, chief academic officer for Ochsner Health, was one of the first employees to get vaccinated. A Cuban American, Seoane called it "a privilege" and urged "all of my Hispanic brothers and sisters to do it. It's OK."
Louisiana's first shipments of an estimated 39,000 Pfizer vaccines this week all will go directly to hospitals to administer. Other hospitals around Louisiana expect to receive their first doses later in the week. Edwards traveled to Jefferson Parish to see the vaccines being administered in person.
"Today is the beginning of the end because I just saw some shots going into arms here," the Democratic governor said in the livestreamed video.
NEW YORK — Coronavirus vaccinations have begun in New York.
A nurse at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in Queens got what Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the first shot given in the state's campaign to vaccinate front line health care workers.
"I feel hopeful today. Relieved," said critical care nurse Sandra Lindsay after getting a shot in the arm.
The head of the hospital system, Michael Dowling, stood over Lindsay as a doctor, Michelle Chester, administered the dose. Cuomo watched via a livestream.
All four applauded after the shot was given. "This is the light at the end of the tunnel. But it's a long tunnel," Cuomo said.
ISTANBUL — Turkey's president has announced a four-day lockdown starting New Year's eve to curb the spread of COVID-19.
Speaking after a cabinet meeting Monday, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the curfew would begin the evening of Dec. 31 and go on until the morning of Jan. 4.
The government this month re-introduced weekend lockdowns as well as nighttime curfews amid a spike in infections and deaths. It has avoided a full lockdown since the beginning of the pandemic to keep the economy running.
Erdogan also announced some rental support for businesses and promised to continue discounts for value added taxes.
Monday's health ministry statistics show a record daily fatality with 229 new deaths, bringing the total death toll to 16,646. The 7-day average of confirmed infections hovers above 30,000, making it one of the worst-hit in the world. (edited)
BELGRADE, Serbia — Serbia has tightened border entry rules ahead of Christmas and New Year holidays fearing further surge in new coronavirus infections when thousands arrive from abroad.
Epidemiologists said Monday that starting next week foreign citizens coming to Serbia will need a negative test for the virus while Serbia's citizens will have to self-isolate for ten days upon arrival or provide the negative test.
The measure aims to prevent additional rise in infections in the Balkan country whose health system is already suffering under the burden of thousands of daily new cases.
WARSAW, Poland — Poland's health minister said Monday he was for extending the current anti-COVID-19 restrictions through Christmas season and school vacation, until mid-January.
The restrictions include wearing masks outdoors, limits on customers in shops, remote teaching restaurants doing only take-away food and a ban on gatherings larger than five people. The last restriction has been ignored by participants in massive nationwide anti-government protests.
Minister Adam Niedzielski said that extending the restrictions until Jan. 17 would help curb number of infections in the third wave of the pandemic in Poland, which he is expecting in early spring.
Niedzielski said Poland has some 1.1 million vaccines promised within the European Union's distribution plan for its inoculation program to be launched in late January and requiring two doses per person. The number of promised vaccines is down from some 2 million promised earlier.
THE HAGUE — The head of the European Union's regulatory agency has defended the speed of its experts team after Germany's health minister demanded that the agency work faster to approve a coronavirus vaccine and bring an end to the suffering on the continent.
Emer Cooke of the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, said Monday that the agency was working "around the clock towards the licensing of the first COVID-19 vaccine."
Cooke said while EMA's expert committee was expected to give its recommendation by Dec. 29 at the latest, "these timelines are of course constantly under review."
"European citizens have told us they want a fast approval, but more importantly they want a thorough evaluation of the benefits and the risks of the vaccine, so that they can be confident it is safe, effective and of high quality," Cooke added.
Expressing impatience, German Health Minister Jens Spahn had said in tweets Sunday that Germany, which has created more than 400 vaccination centers and has activated about 10,000 doctors and medical staff to start mass vaccinations as early as Tuesday, was hamstrung by the lack of regulatory approval.
It was especially galling because the vaccine developed by Germany's BioNTech and American drugmaker Pfizer has already been authorized for use in Britain, the United States, Canada and other countries.
TORONTO — Canadian health officials in Quebec and Ontario plan to administer the first COVID-19 vaccines on Monday.
Residents of two long-term care homes in Quebec will be the first to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in that province. Francine Dupuis of the Montreal regional health agency says health care workers have been ready to administer the doses at Maimonides Geriatric Centre since Friday. Dupuis says the agency expects to receive 1,950 initial doses, which will first go to residents, to Maimonides staff and then to health care workers in other nursing homes.
In Quebec City, residents of the Saint-Antoine nursing home will receive the vaccine first, followed by health care workers there.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford's office says a health care worker will receive the first dose at a hospital in Toronto. The province was to receive 6,000 doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine this weekend, and plans to give them to approximately 2,500 health-care workers in the first phase of its immunization plan.
JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office says he has gone into isolation after being exposed to someone who tested positive for the coronavirus.
It says Netanyahu himself was tested on Sunday and Monday, and that both tests came back negative. He will remain in isolation until Friday. Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials have periodically gone into isolation after possible exposure to the virus since the start of the pandemic.
Israel has signed agreements to purchase millions of doses of Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine and plans to begin administering them later this month. Israel has more than 17,500 active cases and has reported 3,003 deaths.
WASHINGTON— President Donald Trump is cheering the first coronavirus vaccines being administered after a speedy development. The largest vaccination campaign in U.S. history got underway Monday with health care workers being inoculated.
"First Vaccine Administered. Congratulations USA! Congratulations WORLD!" Trump tweeted.
The kickoff of the U.S. vaccination program comes on the same day that the country is expected to surpass 300,000 confirmed virus deaths.
STOCKHOLM — Sweden's statistical agency said Monday that it had recorded a total of 8,088 deaths from all causes in November — the highest mortality ever reported in the Scandinavian country since the first year of the Spanish flu that raged across the world from 1918 through 1920.
In November 1918, 16,600 people died in the Scandinavian country, said Tomas Johansson of Statistics Sweden.
The Spanish flu was one of the deadliest pandemics in recorded human history and is estimated to have killed up to 50 million people. An estimated 500 million people were infected with the disease worldwide.
This year Sweden, which did not go for a national coronavirus lockdown, has seen 320,098 cases and 7,514 virus-related deaths, a death toll much higher than neighbors Norway, Finland and Denmark.
WASHINGTON — Dr. Moncef Slaoui, who is leading the government's COVID-19 vaccine effort, said Monday he is "as confident as we can be" that the vaccine will get into the right hands and that if there are problems in the distribution and inoculation process, adjustments can be made quickly.
"We have rehearsed, tested, did mock deliveries, every single step of the process in order to make sure we understand how it's working," Slaoui told "CBS This Morning." "We also have made sure that the first 2.9 million vaccines are being distributed over three days in order to make sure that if there are any adjustments we can make, we have an opportunity to make them."
Slaoui said he was concerned about "accidental loss of temperature control" during the distribution process but added: "The unknown and unpredictable may happen but we're prepared to deal with that as quickly as we detect it."
He said that by the middle of March, there will be enough vaccine to have inoculated 100 million Americans, mostly those in high-risk groups. By the end of May or the middle of June most Americans should have access to the vaccines, he said.
LONDON — Local officials in London have advised some schools to close and move to online learning as coronavirus cases rise rapidly in the British capital.
The advice from officials in north London's Islington borough and southeast London's Greenwich came as the capital and its surrounding areas face being moved into the highest level of COVID-19 restrictions as early as Monday. Health Secretary Matt Hancock is expected to update lawmakers later Monday.
In November, London was among areas with the lowest regional infection rates in England. But some areas in and around London have now become virus hotspots.
"There is a serious and very worrying rise in coronavirus across London, with cases doubling every few days," said Richard Watts, leader of Islington Council. On Sunday, Greenwich officials said the borough was experiencing a period of "exponential growth" in cases, with infection rates now at their highest since March.
Mayor Sadiq Kahn has suggested that the government asks all secondary schools and colleges in London to shut early ahead of Christmas because of outbreaks among 10 to 19-year-olds.
LONDON — Family doctors in England are set to start COVID-19 inoculations this week, in the latest stage of the U.K.'s mass vaccination program.
The National Health Service said hundreds of general medical clinics across England are taking delivery of the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine on Monday, and some will start offering the shots by the afternoon. The majority, though, will begin on Tuesday, it said.
Priority will go to people who are 80 and older, as well as staff and residents of care homes.
Britain launched its vaccination program this month after becoming the first country to give emergency approval to the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine, and authorities plan to dispense 800,000 doses in the first phase.
Thousands of health service workers and vaccinators have already received the shot. In Scotland, elderly residents of nursing homes are also due to start getting the vaccine on Monday, officials said over the weekend.
BERLIN — Germany's health minister has expressed impatience Monday that the European Union is still waiting for its regulatory agency to approve a coronavirus vaccine, while other officials urged Germans to forgo Christmas shopping two days before a new hard lockdown will close schools and shut most stories.
Chancellor Angela Merkel and the governors of Germany's 16 states agreed Sunday to step up the country's lockdown measures beginning Wednesday and running to Jan. 10 to stop the exponential rise of COVID-19 cases. Merkel said existing restrictions imposed in November failed to significantly reduce the number of new infections. Germany has been hitting records of new daily infections and virus deaths in recent weeks.
Health Minister Jens Spahn said in a series of tweets that Germany, which has built up more than 400 vaccination centers and has activated about 10,000 doctors and medical staff to start mass vaccinations as early as Tuesday, was hamstrung by the lack of regulatory approval.
The vaccine developed by Germany's BioNTech and American drugmaker Pfizer has been authorized for use in Britain, the United States, Canada and other countries, but it's still waiting for approval by the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, and can therefore not be used in Germany yet.

"I absolutely love it!!!! I can't even express how thrilled I am to have such a cool violin purse. It's casual enough to use for everyday but elegant enough to use at my performances. There's more space than my previous wristlets which means I can finally carry earbuds, and I love the hidden zipper compartment in the back. I know that everyone who sees it will ask about it, so I'd better start carrying your cards too!"
Emeritus UTKnoxville Piano Professor, Fay Adams: " Love to support the arts. Becky's creative and fun art work is a treasure for all. Especially love the musical note cards with practice tips. Great gifts and great for notes to students and their parents.
We recently met a lovely woman, Lulu Roman, singer and comedian most known as "Hee Haw" cast. Today she has many credits to her professional career, just a few of which include: guest performer at the inauguration celebration of President Ronald Reagan in 1980, inducted into the Country Music Gospel Hall Of Fame in 1999 and the Christian Music Hall Of Fame in 2008.
She says, "I love my bag, it's small and it goes with everything. You can put so much in this small violin, I will never use another purse."
Grammy award winner, Maggie O'Connor says, "Becky, I absolutely love my (Violettes handmade violin) purse, and I get compliments on it every time I wear it! It is so well made and I love the beading/embroidery details and the use of fabrics. It is a very high quality product. It also has lots of compartments, and I was surprised how much I can fit in that little purse!"
with violinist Maggie O'Connor and famous fiddler husband Mark O'Connor!
"I am on my way to string ensemble rehearsal and I am very excited to be using my Violette/cellette bag. I have everything I need right at my fingertips. My rock stop, tuner, pencil, rosin, cell phone and drivers license, keys, and debit card fit nicely. When I get to practice all I have to do is put it on the back of my chair and I will have access to everything. "
"The Violette violin bags are beautiful! I got the black violin with the silver chin rest for my sister, who is a professional violinist. Her rosin, shoulder rest, strings and all she needs for practice and concerts fit in her violette. I love Violettes by Becky!"
Gaither Group Singer Songwriter, Woody Wright, exclaimed as he purschased his Violettes Guitar Bag, "I'll never lose my mic. wire again".
NBC the Voice Star, Sarah Potenza, loves her Peace Power Guitar Purse.
She says "I love it!". I think it would go well with her Freebird outfit!
Great American Folk Musician, Mark Rubin, loves our Violettes so much that we had to run and get a video!
Violettes handbags/music accessory bags are exquisite, but also incredibly practical. It is like carrying around a piece of art that is also extremely useful. I always get compliments when I have mine. As a violist, I carry it on stage with me when I perform or rehearse, so I can unobtrusively have my rosin, extra strings, a pencil etc., if I need them. I also use it as a regular "dress up" purse, esp. when I go to concerts. Thank you, Violettes, for being such a beautiful and useful product.
"Whether you're using it as a purse or a bag to carry your music-carrying essentials, like extra strings or rosin, Violettes Violin Bags by Knoxville, TN artisan Becky Chaffee, let everyone know you're a strings fan."
My daughter opened her Violette! She LOVED it...we all agree! Thank you so much for this fabulous, unique gift. Merry Christmas!
My beautiful black and blingy Violette was MUCH admired on stage during the holiday concert season, and I look forward to using it as my "gig purse" for many a concert/gig in the future. A true marriage of textile art and function!"
There is special joy in handmade things, particularly one-of-a-kind treasures like my Violette. A gift from my mother, it has been a constant conversation starter; from the funky boutiques on Melrose Avenue to the Fashion District downtown, from Wilshire Boulevard to the weekend farmers' markets... everyone wants to know about my Violette.
V iolettes make great bags for seniors. Grandmother, Maria Brody says "I keeps my pills, cell phone and medical alert with me at all times in the bag. I sometimes don't feel like wearing my medical alert necklace. When we are out too late to take my pills in time, they are all in my bag. The Violin bag is just the right size to have at my side. And it's such fun to have the music bag. Everyone asks about it when I go out. I meet lots of new people just by wearing my Violette. They ask about my music, which gives me the perfect excuse to talk about my grand-children!"
I am thrilled with my black handbag purchase from Violettes By Becky! It was everything Becky described it to be and more! With the wide selection of handcrafted handbags and exceptional customer service, I can't help but applaud the quality, elegance and affordability of these splendid handbags. I am completely in love with my Violette! No matter if I am wearing my Violette for work or play, I know I am making a fierce and bold fashion statement. I highly recommend Violettes By Becky because it is easy to match with different clothing styles and I can fit all my essentials inside for a fun girl's night out or a busy day at the office. If you're looking for a beautiful, capacious, handy, comfortable, handbag bag, look no further. A good handbag is like the perfect soul-mate. Once you find the right one, another bag won't do. This is the one!
Now it's easier to be fully prepared during rehearsal. Everything is ready to go in my Violettes caddie. I have two – one to hang in my studio and one I bring to symphony. They are practical, attractive and fun.
The Violette arrived in Italia. I love it. In it I put my baroque things (accessories) for my new Cello! Sono bellissime!!! (They are beautiful).
I bought that purse for a friend of mine. Being a male, I just thought she would like it because it was so "Off the Wall"! I was wrong...she loved it!
Thank you for making a very strange girl, very happy.


Potential Indian investment to Western Pomerania, entry of the Szczecin-based company on the Indian market and the invitation of Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, to visit Poland and Szczecin are just some of the results of the participation of the West Pomeranian Indian Chamber of Commerce and the Marshal of the Western Pomerania Province in the Global Economic Summit in New Delhi.
The Global Economic Summit in New Delhi is the largest and the most prestigious event of the type in entire south-east Asia. The India's capital attracted over 30 heads of state, including the Prime Minister of India himself. The discussion on the New Economy attracted representatives of the largest global corporations, such as Oracle, Netflix and others. Some of the stars of the summit included Donald Trump Jr., the son of the US president, and Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple.
Mariusz Łuszczewski, the President of the West Pomeranian Indian Chamber of Commerce, and Olgierd Geblewicz, the Marshal of the Western Pomerania Province, participated in the panel discussion of the Summit on 'Path to Economic Growth through Support to Business'.
'I am very glad that on such a short notice we managed to arrange the participation of the Polish delegation in the Asian equivalent of the Davos Forum', said Mariusz Łuszczewski, the President of the West Pomeranian Indian Chamber of Commerce. Due to the involvement of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a personal contribution of Ambassador Adam Burakowski, support of Mr. Takhi, Charge d'affaires from the Indian Embassy, and Andrzej Sadowski representing the Adam Smith Centre, our delegation headed by Marshal Olgierd Geblewicz was able to meet all goals planned. Our participation in the panel focusing on eliminating barriers to economic growth was noted which resulted in a number of important talks on prospective business cooperation. More importantly, we returned back to Poland with solid results.
The Summit was an opportunity to trigger interest among Indian companies in investing in Western Pomerania. Indian businesses are interested in such locations as Szczecin and Goleniów.
'It is my second visit to the beautiful region of Western Pomerania. And again, the West Pomeranian Indian Chamber of Commerce, established two months ago, delivered more than they promised. The Western Pomerania Province made a good impression and Poland was very well represented. Our companies have already invested in Poland $3 bn and employ 25 thousand people. Who knows, maybe those figures will soon grow, said Mr. Surendra Velagaleti, the First Secretary at the Embassy of the Republic of India to Poland.
During the visit of the Polish delegation to India, a meeting was held between the Indian Minister of Rail and a representative of Szczecin-based Autocomp Management. The company, known for its innovative simulators, plans to participate in a public procurement involving the supply of 14 simulators for the Indian Rail.
'Autocomp has never been afraid of challenges. India offers a completely different scale, instead of 4 pieces their usually order 100. We have just established our branch in India shortly after we have almost completed a simulator ordered by the Marshal for the Polish regional rail', said Stanisław Parczewski, the CEO of Autocomp Management.
The Szczecin-based company also considers moving a part of its production to India. In the opinion of companies, the access to the Indian market should result in an increased production.
The Western Pomerania-India Chamber of Commerce (WICC) having its registered office in Szczecin is a business support organization representing business interests of its members in such sectors as production, catering, services, trade, commerce and building.
