19. OR lookups

To perform an OR lookup, or a lookup that combines ANDs and ORs, 
combine QuerySet objects using & and | operators.

Alternatively, use positional arguments, and pass one or more expressions 
of clauses using the variable ``django.db.models.Q`` (or any object with
a get_sql method).
