Ctrl + Alt + Del

Have you ever thought of the person who invented Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination? David Bradley - He is the one who spent 1 minute and 23 seconds in writing the source code that rescues the world's PC users for decades.

This extraordinary IBM employee retired recently after a prolong service of 29 years. His formula forces obstinate computers to restart when they no longer follow other commands. By 1980, Bardley was one of 12 people working to create the debut. The engineers knew they had to design a simple way to restart the computer when it fails to responds the users - Bradley wrote the code to make it work.

Bradley ways, "I did a lot of other things than Ctrl-Alt-Delete, but I'am famous for that one." His fame and success is achieved each time a PC user fails. He commneted his relationship with Bill GAtes by saying "I may have invented it, but Bill gates made it famous by applying my formula when ever any Microsoft's Windows operating system made by him crashes, thus I win when ever he looses".

Thinking beyond concepts...

S*T*R

If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.

Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough...

RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR.

Read and Learn..! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke...

Now, doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S*
- Ask the individual to SMILE

T*
- Ask the person to TALK to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
( i.e. . . It is sunny out today)

R*
- Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks then it is an indication of a stroke...

NOTE : Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

Sahre this information with as many as possible; you can bet that at least one life will be saved...
