Myotherapy is a form of muscle therapy which focuses on the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain and associated pathologies.  The term myotherapy was originally coined by Bonnie Prudden to describe a specific type of trigger point therapy which she developed in the 1970s based on the earlier work of Travell and Simons who researched the cause and treatment of pain arising from myofascial trigger points. While based on rational principles, there is little scientific research regarding the efficacy of this therapy, so it remains controversial within the medical and academic disciplines.

Over the ensuing 40 years, myotherapy has evolved to become an allied health discipline which is practised in many countries across the world including the UK, Australia, USA, Canada, Malaysia, and Thailand.

Myotherapy incorporates trigger point therapy and a wide range of soft tissue massage and manipulation including muscle energy technique, dry needling, and joint mobilization. Myotherapists also use stretching, nutritional advice, exercise prescription, postural advice and education, heat and cold therapy, ultrasound and TENS.

Definition
Myotherapy is a branch of manual medicine focused on the treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain and associated conditions. It involves a physical evaluation and an integrated therapeutic approach to affected muscles, joints, nerves, and associated viscera (organs) and is used in the treatment of acute or chronic conditions and in preventative management. Myotherapy is a form of physical therapy treatment for most common musculoskeletal conditions that result from improper posture, poor biomechanics and injury.  Myotherapy is defined as: "the comprehensive assessment, treatment, and management of neuromusculoskeletal disorders and conditions caused by improper biomechanical functioning."
Myotherapists take into account all aspects of health and wellness to treat patients - this includes not only physical but psychological and occupational aspects of the individual.

Myotherapists are trained manual therapy professionals in the field of myofascial pain and dysfunction (pain that arises from the muscles and surrounding connective tissue).

Myotherapists assess and treat the connective tissue (muscle, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, tissue coverings) using mostly direct 'hands-on' techniques.  Some myotherapists are also trained in the use of TENS machines, lasers, ultrasound, rehabilitation aids, taping, dry needling, and exercise prescriptions for rehabilitation.

Myotherapy treatments incorporate the following:
 a thorough patient history,
 observations of tissues, movement, and gait,
 postural assessment,
 palpation of spine, peripheral joints, musculature, connective tissue and associated viscera,

Myotherapy plays a role in manual medicine as a single mode of treatment, or is used in conjunction with treatment provided by both medical and other allied-health practitioners such as physiotherapy, podiatry, chiropractic, osteopathy, and acupuncture/TCM.

History

Myotherapy was developed by Bonnie Prudden, an American exercise and fitness expert and author of a number of books, including Pain Erasure. She created a new system of Manual Therapy based on the work of Janet Travell.   Myotherapy is based on the research of Janet Travell and David Simons who established the neuro-physiological basis of myofascial pain and dysfunction, and has evolved to include the assessment techniques and treatment modalities.

Modalities

All modalities are used with the specific purpose of achieving a therapeutic outcome. None of these modalities were used by Bonnie Prudden, the developer of Myotherapy. She proposed only manual medicine based on trigger points and corrective exercise techniques.  The use of muscle energy techniques, dry needling, joint mobilization, nutritional advice, heat and cold therapy, ultrasound and TENS are not a part of the practice of certified Bonnie Prudden myotherapists.

Soft Tissue Therapy is the use of the hands to target specific areas of dysfunction for the purpose of a therapeutic outcome. Techniques may include therapeutic massage, muscle energy techniques, neuromuscular techniques, positional release techniques, myofascial release techniques, trigger point therapy, lymphatic drainage techniques and joint mobilisation.

Temperature Therapies is the application of either heat (thermal therapy) or cold (cryotherapy). Techniques may include heat packs, cold packs, ice baths, whirlpools, heat lamps, and paraffin wax baths.

Electromechanical Stimulation is the application of electrical currents or soundwaves to produce a healing and/or analgesic (pain-modifying) outcome. Techniques include TENS therapy, interferential technique, therapeutic ultrasound and low level laser therapy.

Myofascial Dry-Needling (MDN) is the application of fine filiform needles (which are also used by but not exclusive to acupuncture) into specific points in the muscles known as trigger points, to produce a healing and analgesic (pain-modifying) outcome.

Myofascial Stretching is the application of a range of stretching techniques, used to elongate the muscle fibres, return functionally short muscles to their optimal length and increase the range of motion of a joint, leading to prevention of further injury. Techniques may include static stretching, dynamic stretching and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching (PNF).

Rehabilitative Exercise and Corrective Actions are seen as central components of any myotherapy treatment. Proponents claim they enable the client to take responsibility for their own health, act to permanently change dysfunctional patterns, and prevent injury. Techniques may include core stability and Swiss Ball, hydrotherapy neuromusculoskeletal rehabilitative programs, biomechanical retraining, nutrition, injury prevention, and lifestyle education.

Effectiveness
In 2015 the Australian Government's Department of Health published the results of a review of alternative therapies that sought to determine if any were suitable for being covered by health insurance; "Massage therapy or myotherapy" was one of 17 therapies evaluated for which no clear evidence of effectiveness was found. The report found that the overall quality of the trial was poor, although highlighted that there was moderate quality evidence of success with certain patients. The report concluded that "the effectiveness of massage therapy within this population remains uncertain. No studies were identified that assessed the effect of myotherapy in people with a clinical condition, and the effectiveness of this therapy is therefore unknown."

Józef Rymer (1882–1922) was a Polish and Silesian activist and politician.

Rymer was born in Zabełków on February 2, 1882. Before the First World War he was an activist in the Zjednoczenie Zawodowe Polskie (Polish Union of Unions), a Polish labor union organization in Imperial Germany (see also German partition). He was also a member of the Naczelna Rada Ludowa (pro-endecja) Polish political organization in Germany. He was the target of assaults and even an assassination by nationalist German extremists (Freikorps); eventually he became one of the leaders of the Silesian Uprisings. Elected to Polish parliament (Sejm), he also became the first voivode of the Silesian Voivodeship in June 1922. On December 5 that year, he died of a stroke and was buried at Francuska Street Cemetery in Katowice.

HMNZS Santon (M1178) was a  that operated in the Royal Navy, the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN), and the Argentine Navy. Built for the Royal Navy by Fleetlands Shipyard of Portsmouth, the minesweeper was launched on 18 August 1955 and commissioned as HMS Santon. She was named after a small village in North Lincolnshire. The minesweeper was commissioned in the RNZN from 1965 to 1966, when she was returned to the United Kingdom. She was later transferred to the Argentine Navy, and operated as ARA Chubut (M3).

Construction
Santon was built for the Royal Navy by Fleetlands Shipyards of Portsmouth. The minesweeper was launched on 18 August 1955.

Operational history

United Kingdom

New Zealand
Early in 1965, Indonesia was employing a policy of confrontation against Malaysia. New Zealand agreed to assist Malaysia by deploying two Royal Navy minesweepers then in reserve at Singapore. These were commissioned into the RNZN on 10 April 1965 and joined the Royal Navy's 11th Minesweeping squadron (also Ton class), taking part in anti-infiltration patrols in Malaysian waters. Lieutenant Lincoln Tempero, later Chief of Naval Staff, was appointed Commanding Officer.

In her first year Santon, together with her sister ship , carried out 200 patrols, with 20 incidents involving intruding Indonesians, often taking as prisoners those aboard the intercepted craft.

In April 1966, Santon assisted in the rescue of the crew of the wrecked Panamanian freighter Carina. By the time the Indonesian confrontation policy ended in August 1966, Santon had steamed . Following the withdrawal of Commonwealth ships from the anti-infiltration patrols, the RNZN crew took her back to England, where she paid off in reserve at Portsmouth in November 1966.

Argentina
The ship was subsequently sold to Argentina and renamed Chubut (M3). She was decommissioned in 1997.

The California Energy Code (also titled Building Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings), called simply Title 24 in industry, is the sixth section of the California Building Standards Code. The code was created by the California Building Standards Commission in 1978 in response to a legislative mandate to reduce California's energy consumption. These standards are updated periodically by the California Energy Commission. The code includes energy conservation standards applicable to most buildings throughout California.

The code's purpose is to advance the state's energy policy, develop renewable energy sources and prepare for energy emergencies. A 2020 study found that the 1978 energy code successfully reduced energy consumption, and that the implementation of the policy passed a cost-benefit test.

History
California was the first state to implement minimum energy efficiency standards in 1974. It was the first to establish an energy regulation commission – the California Energy Commission. These regulations and codes have been in effect since 1974. California has the lowest per capita energy consumption in the US.

Structure
The three general parts, which include all the responsibilities and criteria of the standards, are:
 Mandatory requirements
 Performance standards
 Prescriptive standards

All buildings must follow the mandatory requirements. Performance standards vary by the building location and type.

These parts are designed to accomplish the following:
 Forecast future energy need
 Support energy and technology research
 Develop renewable energy resources
 Develop renewable transportation fuels and technologies

Climate zones

Standards vary based on climate zone. California is divided into 16 zones:
 Arcata
 Santa Rosa
 Oakland
 San Jose
 Santa Maria
 Torrance
 San Diego
 Fullerton
 Burbank
 Riverside
 Red Bluff
 Sacramento
 Fresno
 Palmdale
 Palm Springs
 Blue Canyon

2019 Code
The 2019 California Energy Code became effective on January 1, 2020. It focuses on such areas such as residential photovoltaic systems, thermal envelope standards and non-residential lighting requirements.

Homes built under this code are about 53% more energy efficient than those built to comply with the 2016 Energy Code. This code provides a market for "smart" technologies.

The 2019 Code added photovoltaic system requirements for low-rise residential buildings. Exceptions grant a reduction in size for photovoltaic systems.

Deluge is a fireboat (also referred to as a firefighting tug) in New Orleans, Louisiana. Built by Johnson Drydock & Shipbuilding Co. of New Orleans in 1923, she was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989. She was the nation's second oldest fireboat at the time.

In March 1930, a fire broke out on the freighter Scantic, lasting two days. Ten crew members were killed. It was the first major fire the Deluge had to put out.
In March 1958, a schoolhouse was on fire in Algiers. The Deluge helped aid the firemen by dousing the school with a quarter of a million gallons of water from the river.

The most famous fire battled by the Deluge was the Christmas Eve fire in 1950. A barge with crude oil smashed into the Standard Oil tanker Baltimore, resulting in an oil spill. Fire quickly engulfed the oil, and from the docks it looked as though the river were on fire. Deluge quickly arrived and peppered the boats and the surrounding area with gallons of water. Successfully, the fireboat ended the threat.

It was common for Deluge to fight forty fires a year. Along with battling fires, Deluge also completed other tasks. She completed numerous towing jobs as well as maintenance after a fire had occurred. This usually required clearing the silt off of docks and boats. Deluge would also rescue floating barges and boats and bring them back to the docks.

The Deluge was retired in 1992.

She is no longer operational and would require hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix. It is possible the fireboat will be stripped for its scrap metal if no buyer comes forward, as the maintenance for the boat is steadily increasing.

Indians in Spain form one of the smaller populations of the Indian diaspora. According to the statistics of India's Ministry of External Affairs, they number only 35,000, or 0.07% of the population of Spain. 2009 statistics of Spain's Instituto Nacional de Estadística showed 35,686 Indian citizens in Spain; this figure does not include persons of Indian origin holding other citizenships. Most Indians originally migrated to Spain from Africa, while others came from India and even Japan and Southeast Asia. The overwhelming majority of Indians in Spain live in the Barcelona area (over 26,000 as of 2019).  According to data from 2021, Indians in Spain number more than 57,000 (0.12% of the total population).

Migration history
Sindhi traders and shopkeepers thrived in the free ports of the Spanish Canary Islands of Las Palmas and Tenerife following the imposition of import and foreign exchange restrictions in Spain after World War II. They conducted a brisk trade with the North African continent from Las Palmas. When Ceuta and Melilla, parts of Spanish Morocco, were also declared as free ports, Indian businessmen set up trading houses and retail shops catering to the tourist trade.

The next wave of Indians to go to Spain were descendants of Indian labourers from former Spanish colony of Equatorial Guinea. By the mid-seventies, there were over 200 Indian trading houses in Ceuta and Melilla. With the liberalisation in import policies introduced in the eighties, business activity shifted to the port cities of Malaga and Barcelona. Madrid also attracted many Indian businessmen.

Religion
Sindhis and Sikhs form the majority of the Indian community. Spain has recognised three entities of Hinduism. The community celebrates various Indian festivals. Rath Yatras are also taken out by members of the Hare Rama Hare Krishna movement with the enthusiastic support of the Indian community. There are temples in Valencia, Ceuta, and Canary Islands.

Business
The Indian community in Spain enjoys a good reputation. Indians are considered hard working, non-political and peaceful. The Indian community has integrated well with Spanish society. There are many Indian restaurants in the island of Mallorca.
The majority of Indian people living in Spain have their own business such as stores, restaurants, call centres, grocery stores, clothes store, construction firm, telecommunication shops, bar, dance and Bhangra groups etc.

Currently, the largest Hindu community in Spain is in the Canary Islands, especially on the island of Tenerife.

Several electronics and camera stores owned by Indians in the Canary Islands have been accused of being a fraud. In 2016 the Danish TV program "Svindlerjagt" (Eng: Swindler Hunt), went to Gran Canaria to expose several electronics stores which scammed Danish customers.

The Painted Hills, also known as Lassie's Adventures in the Goldrush, is a 1951 drama western film produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and directed by Harold F. Kress.

Adapted by True Boardman from Alexander Hull's novel Shep of the Painted Hills, the film stars Paul Kelly, Bruce Cowling, Ann Doran, and dog actor Pal (credited as "Lassie") in a story about a collie named Shep who seeks revenge after her master is murdered. Technical advisor Nipo T. Strongheart for Native American topics worked with the Miwok people for their role in the movie.

The Painted Hills was the seventh, and final, MGM Lassie film released.

Plot
A prospector named Jonathan Harvey (Paul Kelly), whose faithful companion is a rough collie named Shep, looks after the family of his late partner, Martha Blake (Ann Doran) and her son Tommy (Gary Gray). After years of digging in the hills of California (where the movie was shot), he finally strikes gold. However, before he can share it with the Blakes, his greedy partner Lin Taylor (Bruce Cowling) kills Jonathan and attempts to lay claim on the gold. He poisons Shep, who nearly dies, and nearly kills Tommy, but ultimately Shep recovers and leads Lin into the mountains, where he falls off a cliff to his death.

Main cast

 Pal (credited as "Lassie") as Shep - Hero
 Paul Kelly as Jonathan Harvey - Good Oldtime Prospector
 Bruce Cowling as Lin Taylor - Gold Fever Bad Partner
 Gary Gray as Tommy Blake - Boy
 Ann Doran as Martha Blake - Tommy's Mom
 Art Smith as Pilot Pete - Parson
 Andrea Virginia Lester as Mita
 Chief Yowlachie as Bald Eagle - Indian Vet
Brown Jug Reynolds as Red Wing

Music
In 2010, Film Score Monthly released the complete scores of the seven Lassie feature films released by MGM between 1943 and 1955 as well as Elmer Bernstein’s score for It's a Dog's Life (1955) in the CD collection Lassie Come Home: The Canine Cinema Collection, limited to 1000 copies. Due to the era when these scores were recorded, nearly half of the music masters have been lost so the scores had to be reconstructed and restored from the best available sources, mainly the Music and Effects tracks as well as monaural ¼″ tapes.

The score for The Painted Hills was composed by Daniele Amfitheatrof.

Release
According to MGM records, the film earned $783,000 in the US and Canada and $302,000 elsewhere, leading to a loss of $122,000.

Public domain status
Along with seven other MGM films released the first half of 1951, the copyright on The Painted Hills lapsed after MGM neglected to file the necessary renewal applications in 1979. As such, the film is now part of the public domain and has been released to VHS and DVD by a variety of companies.

In popular culture
The movie was riffed on Mystery Science Theater 3000 (episode 510)

Anthony John Antrobus (born 8 April 1962) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the North Adelaide Roosters in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) and had stints with Essendon and St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He was commonly referred to by his nickname of "The Ant". Although only weighing 72 kg and being 174 cm tall, Antrobus was a very aggressive player who never took a backward step. Tony Antrobus was the winner of the 1983 Magarey Medal while playing for North Adelaide.

Career
As a forward with considerable speed and goal sense, Antrobus first played for North Adelaide in 1981 and scored one Magarey Medal vote from his three games (contrary to other articles, which stated that he was awarded three votes in each of those three games). He won the award in 1983, becoming the tenth North Adelaide player to achieve the most sought after individual award in the SANFL. The talent scouts from Victoria persisted in pursuing one of the most sought after players in the SANFL. He eventually was lured to the VFL in 1987 to join Essendon but niggling injuries kept his appearances limited, playing 22 games over four seasons. St Kilda picked him up in 1991 but the following year he decided to return to his home state for one last season with the Roosters, where he played four Foundation Cup pre-season games before retiring.

Antrobus was named in the forward pocket in the official North Adelaide 'Team of the Century'.

On 24 October 2000, Antrobus was awarded the Australian Sports Medal for being a "recipient of the highest individual honour in South Australian Football".

Bernard S. Greenberg is a programmer and computer scientist, known for his work on Multics and the Lisp machine.

Projects
In 1978, Greenberg implemented Multics Emacs using Multics Maclisp.  The success of this effort influenced the choice of Lisp as the basis for later versions of Emacs.

Greenberg was involved in the design of the "New Error System" at Symbolics, which in turn influenced the condition system adopted by ANSI Common Lisp.

While working at Symbolics, Greenberg implemented the Lisp machine File System (LMFS).

In 1987, Greenberg and Sonya Keene authored RFC 1037. NFILE - a file access protocol.

In 1994, nycsubway.org released Greenberg's NXSYS – a design environment for, and simulator of, the control signals used by the New York City Transit Authority’s signaling and control networks. NXSYS provides an interactive 3D view from the perspective of a New York City Subway motorman. The source code for the latest version, v2.5.1, was published to github on 4-Feb-2022.  This version is no longer buildable for Microsoft Windows but the older v2.1 Windows binaries and new v2.5.1 macOS binaries are available here. According to the online documentation, the NXSYS “relay language” is a subset of Lisp that describes subway track systems and control signal pathways; the subway simulation is actually run by the Lisp program, compiled by NXSYS, from the relay language source.

Together with Thomas Milo, Greenberg is the author of Basis Technology's Arabic editor. It handles, among others, an improved version of the DMG (Deutsche Morgenländische Gesellschaft) transcription method, which supports reversible transcription and semi-reversible transliteration for Arabic text.

Amynothrips andersoni is a species of thrips known as alligator weed thrips. It has been used as an agent of biological pest control against the noxious aquatic plant known as alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides).

This thrips is native to South America. It has been imported and released in the United States to feed upon alligator weed. It is now established in much of the southeastern United States. The adult thrips is 2 millimeters long, shiny, and black. A short-winged form and a long-winged flying form exist; the latter is rare. The female lays about 200 eggs during her ninety-day adult lifespan. If the female mates with a male she produces male and female offspring; if she goes unmated, her eggs will all yield male offspring. The eggs are tan ovoids half a millimeter long. The larva is tan in its first stage and bright scarlet red in its second. Both larva and adult feed upon the alligator weed, generally on leaf buds and along leaf edges, causing curling of the leaves and stunting of the plant.

The 2007–08 Australian region cyclone season was only the second season to have a tropical cyclone form in July. This timeline documents all the storm formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, as well as dissipation. The season officially began on 1 November 2007, and lasted until 30 April 2008. However a tropical cyclone moving into the region from the South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season on 29 July, meant that the season started 29 days after the Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone year started on 1 July 2007. The timeline includes information which was not operationally released, meaning that information from post-storm reviews by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, such as information about a Cyclone that was not upgraded operationally, has been included.

Charles Francis William Heron (1853 – 23 October 1914) was an English footballer who made one appearance as a forward for England and was a member of the Wanderers side that won the FA Cup in 1876.

Playing career
Heron, the younger brother of Hubert Heron, was born in Uxbridge, west London and attended Mill Hill School and Cranleigh School. He was a founding member of the Uxbridge Football Club on 3 February 1871 before joining his brother at Wanderers F.C. in the 1874-75 season.

He made his solitary appearance for England in the fifth international match played at Hamilton Crescent, Partick on 4 March 1876. Heron played alongside his elder brother Hubert who was appointed team captain. According to Philip Gibbons, "England struggled throughout the game, which saw the home team run out winners by three goals to nil."

A week after the England match, he was part of the Wanderers team that met the Old Etonians in the 1876 FA Cup Final at the Kennington Oval. En route to the final, he scored two "crucial" goals against Sheffield in the third round.

In the final, the first match ended in a 1–1 draw, with the Wanderers victorious 3–0 in the replay on 18 March, with two goals from Thomas Hughes and one by Charles Wollaston. Hubert also played for Wanderers in this match; it would be another 120 years before a pair of brothers again played together in an FA Cup-final winning side and for England in the same season, when Gary and Phil Neville did so in 1996.
During his career he also played for Swifts and Windsor Home Park.

Later career
Heron played as an amateur and earned his living as a wine merchant in Bournemouth.

Chicken Park is a 1994 comedy parody film directed by and starring Jerry Calà that parodies various films, especially the 1993 film Jurassic Park. The film is Calà's directorial debut.

Synopsis
When Vladimiro's (Jerry Calà) chicken is stolen while he is in the Dominican Republic for a cockfight, he immediately begins trying to get it back. During his searches he discovers an entire zoo full of gigantic chickens.

Cast
Jerry Calà as Vladimiro
Demetra Hampton as Sigourney
Rossy de Palma as Necrophelia Addams
Lawrence Steven Meyers as Dr. Eggs
Alessia Marcuzzi as Airplane hostess

Production
The film was shot between Santo Domingo, L'Aquila and Rome. It was filmed in English.  The budget was two and a half billion lire. The film marked both the directorial debut of Calà and the film debut of actress Alessia Marcuzzi. It was also the last work as special effects artist for Antonio Margheriti. Calà had previously announced his debut as director with a completely different project, a biographical drama film about Umberto Bossi and Lega Nord, Il Longobardo, that was eventually abandoned.

Parodies
The film mainly parodies Jurassic Park but also references many outer films and cultural icons in some gags, such as The Addams Family, Home Alone, The Deer Hunter, Full Metal Jacket, Sister Act, Pretty Woman, Hot Shots!, Il Postino: The Postman and Edward Scissorhands. Moreover, Pope John Paul II appears as a washer.

Release
Chicken Park premiered at the 14th edition of Fantafestival, in which it entered the main competition. Due to production problems, it was not released theatrically in Italy. Broadcast by Italia 1, at its television premiere the film was seen by over 4 million people. The film was released in Turkey on 5 April 1996 as Piliç parki and subsequently in Spain as Pollo jurásico.

Reception
Critical reception for the film was generally negative, with L'espresso calling the film "trash" and MDZ Online commenting that the film was of such poor quality that it had the potential to become a cult classic. Film critic Marco Giusti described the film as "supertrash", "more stupid than funny" and a film in which the best actor probably is Jo, the chicken owned by Calà. According to film critic Paolo Mereghetti the film fails almost entirely to raise a smile and the English version of the film, with Calà self-dubbing himself, is a must for trash-lovers. According to author Massimo Bertarelli, the film is just made of "exasperating drollery and depressing sloppiness".

Daniela Castro (born Danielle Stefani Castro Arellano on 17 August 1969) is a Mexican actress and singer.

Biography
She felt an attraction for music at a very young age, and this is why she entered the Centro de Estudios Artísticos de Televisa (CEA), which took her in another direction. She ended up performing in plays at some theaters in Mexico, which she continued doing occasionally. She was offered a role in a telenovela because of her success in the theatre.  She has starred in 13 telenovelas to date. After a long absence from television, she returned to play Lizabeta in Pasión in 2007. She also played the main role (as Rosa) in one of the episodes of Mujeres Asesinas 2.

Also, she acted in Mi pecado where she played Rosario, her greatest antagonist to date. She considers Cadenas de amargura the telenovela that brought her the success and recognition that made her the actress she is today. This novela was not a big production and did not have a big cast, but the story and episodes were already written; and the characters were perfectly defined which  is considered the main reason for the success of Cadenas de amargura. Diana Bracho (who is considered one of the best actresses in Mexico) was part of the cast. Raul Araiza who played her boyfriend in the story was also her boyfriend in real life. Cynthia Klitbo, Delia Casanova, Fernando Luján, Alexis Ayala, and Raymundo Capetillo also participated in this story.

Daniela plays Cecila Vizcaino, a young girl whose parents die in a tragic accident. Cecila is sent to her aunt's house after her parents' death.  Evangelina who is a very possessive, moral, and religious person who wants to control her life, prevents her from committing sin and living her life on her own terms. On the other hand, her aunt Natalia (Delia Casanova) is good to her and is the one that protects her. Daniela plays a very timid, quiet girl, who tries to fight for her right to live her life her way, trusts her aunts without knowing all the pain one of them is causing her.

Cañaveral de Pasiones is a novel written by Caridad Bravo Adams. The story was produced by Humberto Zurita and Christian Bach who have only delivered well- made stories. Daniela plays Julia Santos, a very sensual role compared to Cadenas de Amargura. Juan Soler is the lead actor and plays Pablo Montero.

The story is about two families: the Santos and the Monteros. Because of some misunderstandings, Pablo's mother Joséfina, played by Angelica Aragón, believes Julia's mother Margarita (Felicia Mercado), who happened to be one of the most beautiful woman in town, is the lover of her husband Amador (César Évora). However, she is mistaken, the one that is her husband's lover is Dinorah (Azela Robinson), Margarita's sister and Julia's aunt. In order to prevent her sister from running away with Amador, Margarita goes to meet him, and they end up having an accident during a rain storm, and subsequently dying, reason enough for Josefina to think she is right; and she tries to make Julia's life miserable. She prevents Pablo from seeing her and sends him to the Capital to study. As an adult and engaged to be married, Pablo returns home. Although engaged, he sees Julia again and falls in love with her all over again. They will have to fight for their love against Josefina, Dinorah, and Julia's Father Fausto (Leonardo Daniel).

After a long absence she returned in the telenovela Pasión, which is situated around 1780 in the New Spain. She plays blind Lizabeta de Salamanca; the difference here is that she plays the antagonist. At first, she was afraid to play this role, but she subsequently earned positive reviews.  She also starred in a horror movie called Viaje directo al infierno in 1989.

In addition, she recorded an album called Junto a ti. She has mentioned that her biggest dream was to perform a song with her father (Jorge) for her mother. She planned to record a second album with her uncles and her dad; but her uncle suddenly died.  Because of the respect and love she had for her father, the project has been delayed.

Fufeng Group () is the largest private-owned monosodium glutamate (flavour enhancer) and the second largest xanthan gum producer in Mainland China. Its products include flavour enhancers, xanthan gum, fertilizer, starch, and sugar substitute. The company was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in Binzhou, Shandong Province, China. The company's current CEO is Li Xuechun. Fufeng Group is one of the largest MSG producers in China and has a global presence, with operations in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. The company's products are sold under the brand name "Weifang Fufeng," and it also produces other food additives such as xanthan gum, citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate. Fufeng Group is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

History
Fufeng was founded in 1999 and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 8 February 2007. However, after issuing a profit warning and profit decline at the first half year in 2007 due to a rise in the price of corn, its share price dropped below the IPO price.

North Dakota plant
In 2022, a proposed Fufeng plant in Grand Forks, North Dakota garnered opposition and legal challenges due to national security concerns. Civic groups and journalists voiced concerns about the parent company's connections with the Chinese government, the company's labor practices in Xinjiang, and the proposed plant's proximity to Grand Forks Air Force Base. Specific concern was raised about the possibility of the plant being used as a site for signals intelligence and electronic warfare against the Air Force base.

The United States-China Economic and Security Review Commission also raised concerns about the plant and the ranking members of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence voiced opposition and requested a review of the transaction by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). In September 2022, the mayor of Grand Forks paused construction of the plant.

In response, the House Appropriations Committee subsequently enacted a ban on purchases of U.S. farmland by China and certain other nations in its 2023 funding bill. In January 2023, the United States Air Force called the proposed plant a "significant threat to national security."

On February 7, 2023, officials in Grand Forks, North Dakota voted 5–0 to strike down the company's plans for a corn mill on the site. The vote allows the company to own the property but denies infrastructure and building permits at the site.

The James H. Dillard House is a historic house at 571 Audubon Street in New Orleans, Louisiana. Built in the 19th century, it was from 1894 to 1913 the residence of James H. Dillard (1856–1940), a leading white educator of African-Americans across the American South during a period of difficult race relations. It was declared a National Historic Landmark on December 2, 1974.

Description and history
The house is located in the Black Pearl neighborhood of New Orleans, on the east side of Audubon Street between St. Charles Avenue and Dominican Street. It is a roughly cruciform single-story wood-frame structure, with a main hip-roofed central section, from which other elements project to the front and rear. The front projection is gable-roofed, with a four-column neoclassical portico. The house's construction date is not known, but it has not had substantial alterations since the turn of the 20th century, the period of Dillard's ownership.

James H. Dillard was a Virginia native who was educated as a lawyer, but chose to work as a teacher and school administrator. In 1891, he was appointed professor of Latin at Tulane University, and moved to New Orleans. He quickly rose in prominence in both academic and civic circles, and was invited run for mayor. He forged relations with both white and African-American academic communities during this period, when race relations were particularly difficult. By 1905, he was serving as a trustee of a number of African-American colleges, and in 1908 took over leadership of the Negro Rural School Fund. Dillard University is named in his honor.

Indians in Italy comprise the largest population of Indians in Continental Europe as of 2016. Although Italy and India have maintained important relations since ancient times, significant Indian migration to Italy is a recent phenomenon. Many Indians began immigrating to Italy in the early 1990s, when the Italian government initiated programs to get Indian IT professionals and engineers to contribute to the technology sector in Italy. Most Indian immigrants came to Italy legally.

Many immigrants came from Punjab as entrepreneurs active in the restaurant and retail fields associated with Italy's large tourism industry. About half of the total Indian migrant population in Italy lives in the central and northern regions of the country, especially in Rome and Milan. Lombardy hosts the most important Indian community with 47,743 people.

Most Indians have retained their religious practices, namely Hinduism, Sikhism and Islam. There are numerous temples and gurdwaras as well as ISKCON centres. There are also many Christians from Kerala.

Dairy industry

The production of many Italian cheeses, including Parmigiano-Reggiano, Grana Padano, and mozzarella, depends significantly on immigrant labour. Starting in the 1990s, Indians have come to dominate the labour force of the Italian dairy industry in this niche. 60% of the workers in the Parmesan industry are Sikh.

Most Indians in Italy settle in the north of the country and work in agriculture. The Po Valley is similar in climate to the Punjab, where most of these Sikh workers are from. Their first jobs tend to be directly with the cows and buffalos, as many come from farming families, but some move on to become cheesemakers, which is better paying.

it:Coldiretti, which Politico Europe describes as Italy's most important farming union and civic authorities in the region acknowledge that the immigrants are indispensable for agriculture in general and the dairy industry in particular. The dairy workers themselves (bergamini) tend to belong to the Italian General Confederation of Labour.

Arcola malloi (formerly Vogtia malloi) is a species of snout moth known as the alligator weed stem borer. It is used as an agent of biological pest control against the noxious aquatic plant known as alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides).

This moth is native to South America. It was introduced to the United States in the 1970s to attack the alligator weed. It is now established in populations of the weed in the southeastern United States. The adult moth is brown and an elongated arrowhead shape about 13 millimeters long. The female lays between 200 and 300 white eggs during her week-long adult life. The larva is white when first emerged from its egg and quickly turns brown and striped. The larva bores into the stem of the alligator weed and consumes it from the inside out, generally destroying between four and eight stems before pupating. It pupates in a cocoon inside the hollowed-out stem for ten days.

Alligator weed which has been attacked by the larva has areas of dead leaves distal to the point at which the larva has destroyed the stem, blocking nutrient flow. A mat of the weed can be quickly eliminated in heavy infestation. This moth and the alligator weed flea beetle may be found in a single mat of alligator weed; in this case, the two insects work in synergy and the weed rarely recovers.

Robert Bremner or Brymer (c. 1713–1789) was a Scottish music publisher. Evidence suggests that he may have born on 9 September 1713 in Edinburgh to John Brymer and Margaret Urie, and had a younger brother named James, but little else is known about his early life. Bremner established his printing enterprise in Edinburgh in mid-1754 "at the Golden Harp, opposite the head of Blackfriars Wynd". Business was brisk from the start, and by the next year, he was publishing music on behalf of the Edinburgh Musical Society. Bremner later became an agent for the Society, traveling to London and Dublin to search for singers and musicians to feature at its concerts. In 1756, he printed his own The Rudiments of Music, commissioned by the Edinburgh town council as an instruction book for spreading the ideas of the "Monymusk Revival", which was revolutionizing psalm-singing in the Church of Scotland at the time. The third edition of his treatise was published in London in 1763, and was described in the influential Monthly Review of Ralph Griffiths as providing church-goers an easy way to "considerably improve their psalmody, by attending to the very plain and practical rules contained in this judicious tract".

Bremner's business acumen served him well in the late 1750s. He published Nicolò Pasquali's bestseller Thorough-Bass Made Easy in 1757, and took advantage of the rising popularity of the English guitar to print Instructions for the Guitar in 1758. The next year, he published William McGibbon's Scottish tune collections in four volumes, having secured the rights to McGibbon's work upon his death in 1756. During this time, he also displayed his musical prowess by arranging and publishing his Collection of Scots Reels or Country Dances in 1757, which featured the first published strathspeys. His success allowed him to move to London in 1762, opening a shop in the Strand and leaving a manager named John Brysson to run his Edinburgh establishment. That same year, he acquired the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book for ten guineas at the sale of Johann Christoph Pepusch's library and later presented it to Lord Fitzwilliam.

Bremner was once a violin student of Francesco Geminiani, but disagreed with his mentor on the use of vibrato, which Geminiani advocated be used "as often as possible". Bremner's Some Thoughts on the Performance of Concert Music, a preface to his publication of J.G.C. Schetky's 6 Quartettos opus 6 (1777), makes clear his opinions. If vibrato is "introduced into harmony", he writes, "where the beauty and energy of the performance depend upon the united effect of all parts being exactly in tune with each other, it becomes hurtful." Bremner may have even used his publishing position to censor his teacher's opinions. He republished Geminiani's 1751 The Art of Playing on the Violin in 1777, but three passages were left out in the reissue. One of them detailed the "more agreeable" sound provided by vibrato, which Geminiani deemed "the Close Shake".

Bremner died at his home in Kensington Gore. He had married Margaret Bruce on 30 May 1756 in Edinburgh, and had three children: Charles, James, and Ellen. Preston and Son purchased Bremner's London stock, plates, and copyrights, describing the transaction as "not only the most extensive, but also the most valuable list of works ever exhibited in this kingdom". His will left the greater part of his estate to Ellen and £761 13s 1d each to his two sons.

The Gallant Hours is a 1960 American docudrama about William F. Halsey, Jr. and his efforts in fighting against Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto and the Imperial Japanese Navy in the Guadalcanal campaign of World War II.

This film was directed by Robert Montgomery, who also did uncredited narration, and stars James Cagney as Admiral Halsey. Featured players include Dennis Weaver, Ward Costello, Vaughn Taylor, Richard Jaeckel, and Les Tremayne. The screenplay was by Frank D. Gilroy and Beirne Lay, Jr., and the unusual a cappella choral score was composed and conducted by Roger Wagner, although the theme song was written by Ward Costello.

The film was produced by Montgomery and Cagney, the only film made by their joint production company. The Gallant Hours was released by the United Artists company on June 22, 1960.

Description
The Gallant Hours depicts the crucial five-week period in October–November 1942 after Admiral Halsey (James Cagney) took command of the beleaguered American forces in the South Pacific Area. That period of combat, highlighted by the Guadalcanal Campaign which serves as the movie’s focus, became a turning point in the struggle against the Japanese Empire in that theatre during World War II. The story is told in flashback, framed by Halsey ceremonially leaving his command in 1947.

Unusual for a war film, the picture has no battle scenes. All the fighting takes place off-screen, and there is an emphasis throughout on logistics and strategy rather than the tactics and combat. Fundamentally, the thrust becomes a battle of wills and wits between the intuitive Halsey and his calculating Japanese counterpart, Admiral Yamamoto (James T. Goto, who was also Technical Advisor for the film). For dramatic effect, the April 1943 air mission to kill Yamamoto is made contemporaneous with the  naval battle of Guadalcanal, rather than five months later.

Also somewhat unorthodox is that scenes depicting Japanese staff officers were performed in Japanese, with only summary translations provided by the narrator. This narration was remarkably evenhanded in its characterization of the enemy for an American feature film of this period.

Finally, the use of the Roger Wagner Chorale group in lieu of an orchestral score, was an unusual choice.

The film's coda is a textual reprise of a quote delivered earlier as advice from Halsey to an overwhelmed junior flight officer:

"There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet."

Casting
 The sons of the film's two principals, James Cagney, Jr., and Robert Montgomery, Jr., both appear in the film, uncredited, as U.S. Marines. For Cagney, this was his only film appearance, whereas Montgomery appeared in four other films and a half-dozen television episodes.

Production

Director Robert Montgomery had served under Admiral William F. Halsey, Jr., as a Commander in the U.S. Navy during World War II, and he came up with the idea of making a film about Halsey when he attended the 75th birthday celebration honoring the Admiral in 1957. Montgomery and his good friend James Cagney acquired the rights to Halsey's life story later that year, and they formed a production company, Cagney-Montgomery Productions, to make the film. Montgomery had started directing on 1945's They Were Expendable, substituting for John Ford when Ford was ill, and made his credited directorial debut in 1947 with Lady in the Lake. He had also produced for television before, but The Gallant Hours was the first feature film he both directed and produced. It turned out to be his last involvement of any kind in film and television as a producer, director, or actor. Cagney's foray into production was also his first, and his last.

Under his contract agreement with Cagney-Montgomery Productions, Admiral Halsey would receive 10 percent of the profits from the motion picture. During a visit with his son, William F. Halsey III, in La Jolla, California, Admiral Halsey went to Camp Pendleton where The Gallant Hours was being filmed (pictured).  William F. Halsey III later remarked that he was startled at how much James Cagney looked like his father did during World War II.

The voiceover narration technique Montgomery utilized was similar to what he had done in Lady in the Lake, although in that case the narration was in the first person. What is striking about the narrative in The Gallant Hours is the degree of detail provided to introduce both main and minor characters to the audience, even sometimes indicating the manner of their death in the near future.  Also unusual is that both American and Japanese characters are treated in a neutral and evenhanded way. The production team utilized the services of three technical advisors in making the film – Captain Joseph U. Lademan, Captain Idris Monahan, and James T. Goto, who not only was the Japanese advisor but also portrayed Admiral Yamamoto in the film.

For James Cagney, The Gallant Hours was "a labor of love, a tribute to that wonderful man Admiral William F. 'Bull' Halsey" for himself and his long-time friend Robert Montgomery. Cagney praised Montgomery because he "steered away from big battle scenes and roaring guns.  We concentrated on Halsey himself, trying to convey some of the tension of high command" in the film.  In researching his role as Halsey, Cagney interviewed many men who had served under the Admiral, including two interviews with the admiral himself, but he found the role a difficult one, despite the physical similarities between the two men. Cagney was very concerned that he not impose any of his usual acting mannerisms on the character of Halsey – on the other hand, despite having met his subject several times, he didn't try to imitate Halsey's mannerisms either. As Cagney biographer John McCabe noted: "The film would be utterly boring without Cagney's thoughtful performance. Nowhere in his career had he been called on to do so much by doing so little."  The Gallant Hours was Cagney's last starring role in a dramatic film until 1981.  Thereafter he starred in a comedy, One, Two, Three, in 1961, and appeared briefly in the historical drama Ragtime two decades later.

The Gallant Hours was filmed in black & white at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios in the spring of 1959, with some exterior scenes shot in San Diego. The film employed a new construction technique to make the interior battleship shots easier to move and light: the walls of sets were hung from overhead grids to enable them to swing in and out as needed.  Working titles for the film were "Bull Halsey" and "The Admiral Halsey Story". The studio rented a four-engined Sikorsky VS-44A, N41881, named "Mother Goose", from Catalina Air Lines, Inc., and painted it in wartime camouflage to depict Halsey’s flight from Pearl Harbor to Noumea to take over command of forces in the South Pacific  Although the studio had promised to repaint the flying boat after the production, this did not happen, and the airline had to restore the civilian livery itself.

It had its world premiere in Washington, D.C. on 13 May 1960, sponsored by the Navy League, and was released generally on 22 June 1960 in New York City.

Reception
Although not a major box-office success, The Gallant Hours was well received by film critics, with Bosley Crowther writing in his review for The New York Times:

Beirne Lay Jr. and Frank D. Gilroy have written a screen play so fully packed with biographical and historical data on Admiral Halsey and his opposite number in the Japanese fleet—and likewise so loaded with characters whose names ring heroic bells—that anyone at all interested in the haunting record of the early days of the war in the South Pacific must see this film.

Even though Mr. Montgomery has bravely put it upon the screen in a calm, unhurried fashion that belies the usual slambang of war, and may very well irritate the patron who is looking for more explosive things, it comes out in his adroit direction as drama of intense restraint and power.

But more than a documentation, more than a drama of what went on within the cabin of Admiral Halsey in one of the most perilous phases of the war, this film is a brilliant tribute to the gallantry of the admiral himself, thanks in large measure to the performance of James Cagney in the role.

Crowther also singled out Dennis Weaver, Ward Costello, and James T. Goto for their performances.  Biographer John McCabe also praised Cagney's portrayal:

There are few actors who can make nonvocal thought meaningful and interesting.  Cagney does so by the great actor's technique of actually thinking the necessary thoughts and letting them register naturally and unaffectedly on his features, opening himself up to these thoughts and these alone.  Toward the end of The Gallant Hours, when he is increasingly alone in his command center, his acting becomes almost pure thought.

In a contemporary 1960 review, TV Guide gave The Gallant Hours a three-star rating, noting: "James Cagney was the perfect choice to play Admiral Halsey."  It also praised Robert Montgomery's direction that "focuses on the human side of the war, taking the time to show the inner workings of a great leader. The going is a little slow for what was thought to be a 'war' movie, but it is this leisurely pace that makes the film all the more believable."

In her 2019 film history book World War II at the Movies, author Virginia Lyman Lucas called The Gallant Hours a "wonderfully informative, authentic semidocumentatary film" that was "chock-full of facts, logistics, and strategies and is sparse in combat action" but "fascinating and mesmerizing mostly due to the magnificent portrayal of Admiral Halsey by James Cagney."

Historical accuracy

The producers went to great lengths to interview staff members who had worked with Admiral Halsey during World War II, including two interviews with the admiral himself by James Cagney, during the preproduction research for The Gallant Hours. Cagney's dignified portrayal may have softened Halsey's often salty, pugnacious personality. For example, when he received his orders to assume command of the South Pacific forces, Admiral Halsey's response was: "Jesus Christ and General Jackson! This is the hottest potato they ever handed me!"

The action of the film takes place over a five-week period, between 8 October 1942 and 1 December 1942. However, for dramatic effect, the 18 April 1943 death of Admiral Yamamoto some five months after the film's time period, was portrayed as being during the struggle for Guadalcanal.

Due to a lack of available Grumman F4F Wildcat fighters at the time of filming, the very similar looking, somewhat larger Grumman F6F Hellcat, which was not yet available at the time, was substituted in one scene.

Legacy

The oil portrait of Cagney that hangs in New York City's Players Club, of which he was a member, depicts him as Halsey in this film.

Donald Lindner (16 February 1935 – 31 December 2008) was an Australian rules footballer who played with North Adelaide in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).  He is the centre half-forward in North Adelaide's official Team of the Century and Hall of Fame, and in 2002 was inducted into the SANFL Hall of Fame.

Lindner was renowned for his high marking and by the time he retired in 1970 had played 280 games, kicking 267 goals for North Adelaide. This games total remained a club record until broken by Mike Redden in Round 9 of 1991, while Lindner also played 10 pre-season/night series matches. His greatest achievement was winning the 1967 Magarey Medal, originally losing on a countback, but was awarded it retrospectively when the league decided to give the award to those who had lost on countback in previous years.  He had played that season in both defence and in the ruck and was also North Adelaide's best and fairest winner for the third time, having previously won the award in 1958 and 1962.

Other honours during his career include topping North Adelaide's goal kicking in 1955 with 36 goals, being a member of their 1960 premiership side, and representing South Australia 16 times at interstate football. His best performance in South Australian colours came in the 1961 Brisbane Carnival where he was selected in the All-Australian side. He polled Tassie Medal votes in both matches he played in the Carnival. He also played a pivotal role in South Australia's famous win against Victoria in 1963, having come off the Reserves bench early in the game and scoring three goals and setting up Lindsay Head for the winning goals.

He captained and coached North Adelaide from 1963 to 1966, leading them to the Grand Final in his first year in charge. In 1967 he relinquished the coaching role to Geof Motley but remained captain until 1969.

Don Lindner died celebrating New Year's Eve 2008 at the Hampstead Hotel in Collinswood.

He is a member of the SANFL Hall of Fame, but like his first captain, Ian McKay, he is not a member of the AFL Hall of Fame.

Don Lindner Walk
The Council of the City of Prospect commemorated Lindner's achievements by naming a short pedestrian walkway beside Prospect Oval after him. The walkway connects his former family home in Kintore Avenue with his football home in Menzies Crescent. On 29 August 2010, Mayor David O’Loughlin formally opened the Don Lindner Walk at an unveiling of a plaque at the Council Room within the North Adelaide Football Club, attended by over seventy guests and Lindner's family. The plaque has been placed on short bollards at each end of the walkway.

Waitaki is an electorate for the New Zealand House of Representatives that crosses the boundary of North Otago and South Canterbury towns on the East Coast of the South Island.  The electorate was first established for the  that determined the 5th New Zealand Parliament.  It has been abolished and re-established several times and in its early years was a two-member electorate for two parliamentary terms.  The current electorate has existed since the  and is held by Jacqui Dean of the National Party.

Population centres
Through an amendment in the Electoral Act in 1965, the number of electorates in the South Island was fixed at 25, an increase of one since the 1962 electoral redistribution. It was accepted that through the more rapid population growth in the North Island, the number of its electorates would continue to increase, and to keep proportionality, three new electorates were allowed for in the 1967 electoral redistribution for the next election. In the North Island, five electorates were newly created and one electorate was reconstituted while three electorates were abolished. In the South Island, three electorates were newly created and one electorate was reconstituted while three electorates were abolished (including Waitaki). The overall effect of the required changes was highly disruptive to existing electorates, with all but three electorates having their boundaries altered. These changes came into effect with the .

This current Waitaki electorate is the successor to parts of the old Otago electorate, with parts of central Otago moving into Clutha-Southland, and the boundary extended far up the South Canterbury coast, to just outside Timaru. The electorate was last re-established for the 2008 election. The 2006 census showed that there has been a general northwards population movement. Even though the number of South Island electorates is fixed, the decline in the population of electorates from Rakaia south has resulted in the boundaries of electorates from Invercargill north to Rakaia shifting northwards. However, Waitaki ended up over quota in the 2013 census and redistribution resulted in all communities south of and including Herbert being ceded to Dunedin North. Waitaki contracted again in the 2020 redistribution, gaining the Waitati area from , but losing a large section of land around Alexandra to .

The largest town in the electorate is Oamaru (pop. ). Other towns include Geraldine (), Twizel (), Wānaka (), Waimate () and Cromwell ()

History
The Waitaki electorate has existed four times: in 1871 to 1946; in 1957 to 1969; in 1978 to 1996 and lastly since .

The first election in the electorate was contested by William Steward and Macassey in , with Steward being successful.

The next election was held in early January 1876. Waitaki had become a two-member electorate, and four candidates put their names forward. Steward and Joseph O'Meagher contested the election as abolitionists (i.e. they were in favour of abolishing the provincial government), while Thomas William Hislop and Samuel Shrimski were provincialists (i.e. they favoured the retention of provincial government). The provincialists won the election by quite some margin.

Hislop and Shrimski were both confirmed in the , but Hislop resigned on 28 April 1880 "for private reasons". The resulting  was won by George Jones.

From 1881 onwards, the electorate became a single-member constituency again. Thomas Young Duncan won the  and the two subsequent elections. In the , Duncan was opposed by John Reid, but defeated him by 705 to 676 votes.  In the , Duncan successfully contested the Oamaru electorate instead, with John McKenzie taking Waitaki. McKenzie had previously held Waihemo and went back to that electorate again for the .

William Steward, who was the first representative of the electorate, had since 1881 represented Waimate. He returned to Waitaki for the 1893 election, was successful and also won the five subsequent elections. He held the electorate until 1911. He was appointed to the Legislative Council in the following year, but died within months of the appointment.

Francis Henry Smith succeeded Steward in the . At the next election in , Smith stood unsuccessfully in the Timaru electorate. The Waitaki electorate was won by John Anstey that year.  At the , Anstey was defeated by John Bitchener, who held Waitaki until he was defeated in the  by David Barnes. Barnes, in turn, held the electorate for one parliamentary term and was defeated in the  by David Campbell Kidd. At the final count, Kidd had a majority of 10 votes, and Barnes applied for a magisterial recount; this increased the 1938 result to a majority of 14 votes. Kidd represented Waitaki until 1946, when the electorate was abolished and he successfully stood in Waimate instead.

Waitaki was re-established for the  and was won by Thomas Hayman, who had previously represented Oamaru. Hayman died in office on 2 January 1962 and was succeeded by Allan Dick, who won the 1962 by-election. Dick held the electorate until 1969, when it was abolished again.

The electorate was re-established for the 1978 general election. Jonathan Elworthy of the National Party was the successful candidate. Elworthy was re-elected in the 1981 general election, but defeated in the 1984 general election by Labour's Jim Sutton. Sutton was re-elected in the 1987 general election, but lost to National's Alec Neill in the 1990 general election. Neill was re-elected in the 1993 general election. At the end of the next term, in 1996, the electorate was abolished again. Neill failed to be selected by the National Party as a candidate for any of the electorates for the 1996 general election.

With the advent of Mixed-member proportional representation (MMP) voting system in 1996 and the resulting reduction in the number of constituencies, the electorate was split in half; the town of Oamaru was pulled into the resized Otago electorate and the balance was transferred into the new Aoraki electorate.

The Waitaki electorate was re-established for the , and Jacqui Dean, incumbent since the  in the  electorate won the election with a large majority against Labour's David Parker. Dean increased her majority in the  against Labour's Barry Monks. Dean was confirmed as the electorate's representative in the .
