31 · Friday, May 14, 2010 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.oakvillebeaver.com Underwear company sends student to lingerie contest Oakville-based Triumph International Canada is sending a George Brown College student to the U.K. to compete in a lingerie-design competition. Justin Singh is the 2010 Canadian Triumph Inspiration Award winner, after beating out nine other George Brown and Seneca College student designers at a lingerie contest in Windsor. As winner, Singh will travel to London in September to compete in the Triumph Inspiration Award International Finale against other young designers from more than 20 countries. Singh's concept, titled Sand of Time, is inspired by modern corsetry and the shape of the hour glass figure. Triumph Canada is a subsidiary of German-founded Triumph International. The brand is one of the world's largest underwear manufacturers with a presence in more than 120 countries. The winner of the London finale will receive 15,000 Euros along with an opportunity to work with Triumph to design a commercial lingerie set. People can also vote for their favourite designs at www.triumph-inspirationaward.com. Voters can win a trip to the show and be one of the jury members. Learn the signs of a heart attack Knowing the signs of a heart attack or stroke could mean the difference between life and death. But many people don't. Halton Region Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is using this week, National EMS Week, to urge residents to learn what a heart attack and stroke look like and to call 911 immediately when a person experiences any of the symptoms. Warning signs of a heart attack include chest pain, shortness of breath, sweating and pale, cool or clammy skin. Signs of a stroke often include slurred speech, blurred vision, loss of strength -- particularly on one side of the body -- and a sudden, severe headache. "Calling 911 when the first symptoms of heart attack or stroke arise allows paramedics to initiate treatment options that may only be available within two hours of symptom onset," said Dr. Bob Nosal, Halton's Medical Officer of Health. EMS Week began Sunday and continues until Saturday. Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr said local EMS workers respond to more than 50,000 calls each year, dispatching both primary and advanced care paramedics.
