Sunday before service started I told Nate Noonen that the sermon was hard for me, hard in the preparation. I told him it was harder for me than the words appeared to me on the page after I'd written it.
Usually I try to move beyond a sermon when it's over. I know that many preachers find this difficult, even if by virtue of our work we, simply, have to go off to the next thing. I learned from Dallas Willard how important and ministry nurturing it can be to move along, to keep going, and to not get stuck in a sermon.
It can be a tempting thing to linger over what we say as preachers. Aside from our easy proclivity to esteem ourselves, we can also lose sight of the purpose of the sermon. It's purpose is, in part, to move people to action.
Lingering and action contrast. The best sermons are worth lingering over, returning to, hearing again, and they somehow move us to act, to be in the world, and to be different in the world.
For me, moving beyond Sunday's sermon has proven particularly difficult. I invited the church, our intentionally multiethnic church, to listen to and learn from the life of Hannah, a sister in the first testament who spent years asking God to remember her, asking God for a son. Most of us don't embrace the real experience of waiting while asking for the same thing. I personally find it's more efficient to keep going. Especially in terms of injustice and other topics that prove our country's lack of growth, conception, and productivity.
As part of the sermon, I gave a few names of people that I think our church folks would be tutored by in our work of reconciliation. These people "came up before me" during my sermon preparation the weeks prior. They aren't, by any means, an attempt at a longer treatment of the question. Of course this was in the same message that I offered my personal and hard questions about why that ministry of reconciliation is even important and how hard it is despite its biblical relevance. Hannah is answering some of my personal questions these days.
My brother, David, has offered a wonderful resource on the topic and related themes of reconciliation in the form of an annotated bibliography. You need to read it here.
At Nate's request, here are those names of people I mentioned. I characterized them as contemporary renderings of 1 Samuel 1-2, fully realizing that these folks themselves would use other words to describe their work. Thanks for asking, Nate Noonen.
The revolutionary suicide post on Dr. Melissa Harris Perry's blog was to be my second contemporary version of the text but I didn't have the time to include it; it's here.
People become most aware of their values when they reach turning points in their lives and must make choices or when they are thrust into decision making because of a crisis. Prior to such moments, they may not have thought much about the values that orient them to the meaning and purpose of their lives. At its simplest, theology is a way to talk about people's deepest values.


Bob Lutz, left, presents the EyesOn Design Lifetime Achievement Award to Patrick le Quement, Renault's longtime design chief. Sharing the stage are Shiro Nakamura, Nissan's global head of design, and Jack Telnack, right, former Ford design leader.
DETROIT -- When it came to matters of taste and vehicle styling Patrick le Quement never could hold his tongue.
The French designer, who received a lifetime achievement award this month at the EyesOn Design charity car show here, always carried a full set of strongly held beliefs.
And it didn't matter who he was addressing.
Early in his career at Ford of Europe, le Quement was at the vast Lommel proving grounds in Belgium on a day when senior Ford executives were testing models from several manufacturers.
Bob Lutz, future Chrysler and General Motors honcho, was president of Ford of Europe at the time and was another guy who did not keep his opinions in reserve. A French car appeared with three-bolt wheels, stamped wheel wells and no wheel covers. Lutz said something along the lines of: "Now there is a typical example of lousy French design."
"We discovered that we had a lot of common ground. We found we both hated bad design and loved good design, and Patrick and I developed a very strong working relationship during the time he was at Ford."
Le Quement was standing nearby and immediately confronted his president.
"Just what is it about French design that you don't like?" he asked.
Lutz said his first thought was: "Well, there's an unusual response from a subordinate." But rather than complicating le Quement's career path, Lutz fell into a conversation with the young designer.
"We discovered that we had a lot of common ground," Lutz said this month at a gala dinner celebrating le Quement. "We found we both hated bad design and loved good design, and Patrick and I developed a very strong working relationship during the time he was at Ford."
Le Quement, now 70, started his career at Simca in France in 1966 and spent 17 years at Ford in the UK, Germany and the U.S. In 1985, he moved to Germany for two years to establish an advanced design studio at Volkswagen-Audi. In 1987, he returned to France as head of Renault design, a job he held until retiring in 2009.
At Ford, he was associated with two landmark designs, and Lutz had a ringside seat for both. When Lutz was in charge of Ford's European truck operations, le Quement had a vision for a medium-heavy truck that became the Cargo. Unveiled in 1981, it featured smooth styling and a revolutionary new cab.
Lutz said: "Patrick was the inventor of what we now see on medium to heavy trucks everywhere -- that quarter window that goes down the door, all the way down to the bottom, so that the driver can look diagonally down and see the curb for maneuvering. The Cargo truck was the first truck that ever had that."
The truck was a hit all over the world, including in the U.S.
"It influenced medium heavy truck design ... forever," said Lutz. "It was a breakthrough product, and it was a good product. It was voted the European truck of the year."
Soon after, le Quement designed the Ford Sierra, a midsize European family car that debuted in 1982.
"That was a tough task because every other car company in Europe had enough money to create an all-new, east-west, front-wheel-drive platform," Lutz said. "Ford was under some financial strictures at the time and we had to stay with a heavier and less fuel-efficient rear-wheel-drive design.
"We decided to get fuel economy on the freeway through aerodynamics. Patrick conceived the Sierra, which at the time had a record low drag coefficient."
The design was radically aerodynamic, which did not go over well with everyone.
"I loved it," Lutz said, "but many people were shocked, especially the United Kingdom, conservative as usual. People had a hard time warming to it."
In time popular taste caught up with the Sierra.
The 1982 Sierra midsize car was one of Patrick le Quement's two landmark designs at Ford.
"That design lasted for 10 years -- two-and-a-half normal cycles with only moderate face-lifts and moderate badging changes and interior enhancements," said Lutz. "When a design can create something that is somewhat shocking at the beginning ... and the public gradually gets used to it, and it rides a crest of acceptance for a few years and then gradually tapers off ... well, if you can make that period last 10 years, the company has made a lot of money on your product."
The Sierra paved the way for a generation of wind-cheating cars, and "was one of Patrick's crowning achievements," Lutz said.
"I believe cultural trends affect design," he said, "and as designers we observe cultural trends and feed that back into design. But I'm a bigger believer that designers can set cultural trends, and I think that's what Patrick has done with his career. He has left a legacy of products that changed the way people think about cars."
Le Quement said he still believes that national heritage should count for more in car design.
"We do not see anymore the strong nationality in the cars," he said. "At one point you could see a car and you knew immediately whether it was Italian or French or American. This is less so today. I hope to see great German design, great Italian, French and of course American" design.
Ralph Gilles: Le Quement set cultural trends.
Speaking to a roomful of designers, Lutz said: "I have recently taken to advocating the notion of the designer being the highest paid -- and I'm not saying this because I want applause."
Modern cars, he said, have more or less identical ride, handling, safety, number of airbags and fuel economy.
"This measured quality by J.D. Power and Consumer Reports ... you don't even have to take it seriously anymore," he said. "All the cars are so reliable and so bulletproof, it just doesn't matter anymore. Everybody gets brakes from the great brake suppliers, steering from the steering suppliers, transmissions, etc."
He said design is the last big differentiator in purchase motivation.
Consider the movie industry, Lutz said.
"When you look at Hollywood, who do you admire? Is it the head of Universal, the head of 20th Century Fox, the head of Sony Pictures? No, it's the directors and the producers, and they're the ones who are making the most money."
While CEOs of movie studios get normal CEO salaries, Lutz said, "It's the creative talent, the guys that do the blockbusters who really drive revenue and shareholder value, and they are the ones who are most valuable, the rarest and the ones that should be paid the highest."
No matter what Lutz said, designers in the audience were now grinning and applauding.
"If I were running a car company today," said GM's former head of product development, "I would willingly pay a salary of $5 million plus bonus for the top design talent. And if I were running a car company today one of the people I would seriously look at hiring for $5 million plus bonus would be Patrick le Quement."

I am filing for F-1 student visa and my sponsor is my Aunt (US citizen by naturalization). So i think she have to submit I-134 in that I have questions regarding Q22 to Q37. These questions are in relation to whether she filed for affidavit for support or visa petition, which is she did in 1990 and she does not remember exact dates of filing.
So my question is is it necessary to put these 30 yr old details? and if it is then what I should do please suggest.
She should answer the questions as accurately as possible.......If exact dates are unknown, I would either put approximate dates or answer "unknown".


Wood freezes pretty easily, apparently. And, there were snow squalls all over the place.
The best thing to do? Move slower and take your time out there! It's a completely different challenge, so don't rush it!
Luckily, I didn't get hurt or break anything out there. Whew.
Since the parkour gym's been closed off for a while due to moving locations and other fun, delaying issues, I've been training outside in the urban wilderness with the regulars.
I have to say, I find it a bit easier to try out new things! Not like flips or anything too high-velocity, but more like applying the vaults and jumps that I've learned in the MV gym to the real world and really exploring the true nature of parkour movement.
But, as you might know by now… I live in Toronto and it's November.
I'll post how it goes when I get back.
If you're going out training in the wintertime or in any less-than-favourable weather conditions, dress appropriately, wear good shoes and train with a partner for safety reasons.

These don't have anything to do with rain, but it's true.
A nice surprise awaited me when we boarded the Trans-Mongolian train at 7 a.m.—it was far nicer than any of the overnight trains we'd been on in China (we'd paid a bit more, too). There were only four bunks to a compartment and the door slid closed for privacy. And we had plenty of storage for the three of us who started out in our room.
Our compartment-mates included a Finnish woman who recently completed her schooling in fine arts, is currently living in Thailand, and is studying Estonian. I don't think she had a single nice thing to say about Estonians. She was almost helpful when it came to interacting with the Mongolian carriage attendant, who spoke no English or Chinese but could sometimes catch the idea of the gal's Russian. Our fourth roommate was a Mongolian guy studying in Beijing. He was very friendly and not at all upset that we hadn't left him much storage space.
Besides an incident involving some early-morning instant coffee (the attendant brought it to our compartment without a word, then expecting payment seven hours later), the ride was uneventful. We watched China fade into Mongolia, but didn't reach the border until nightfall, which comes quite late so far north. The Soviet-laid tracks in Mongolia are different than the Chinese tracks, so our train's bogeys had to be changed in a two-hour long process for which most passengers got off.
By the time our passports were returned by the Mongolian border agents, it was 1 or 2 a.m., but we pulled into Ulaanbaatar mid-afternoon the following day well-rested and eager to see Mongolia.
Great Wall photos up, and more to come!
To my occasional frustration, Beijing was often no more than a chance for us to run errands. Trips to the post office were an every-day affair; an errand to the doctor's office ate up half the day. Such is the price for moving and traveling at the same time. We had about two days of dedicated sight-seeing— Temple of Heaven Park on a fading afternoon, a whole afternoon at the 798 art compound, the Forbidden City on a chance cool morning (temperatures hovered around 90 degrees and humidity was through the roof)—as well as two nights out with friends: on the whole, not something to complain about.
I also spent two afternoons at the Pearl Market, which sells three floors worth of things utterly unrelated to pearls.
We found the food mostly disappointing, but we must have been looking in all the wrong places because everyone else we've met who have gone through Beijing say the opposite. The city is absurdly big (population 20 million and counting), so walking around to get a feel for what's available is a daunting task, and the Lonely Planet guide book lists only atmospheric that charge more than we wanted to spend.
Colin wanted to see the sunrise, so it was up at 4:00 for that. Clouds made it so we didn't see the sun until 7 or 8, and then only a shadowy one. But we were grateful for the hours of cloud and even the spattering of rain drops, for a military base had forced us off the wall and back into the underbrush and occasional corn or leek field.
By 10 or so, we reached the wall again. A farmer had tampered with the system of blue arrows, dots, and Xs to redirect people to his farmhouse, where he would gladly sell you water then point you in the correct direction. Colin outwitted him, scouting it out a bit and keeping us on the correct path.
We foolishly stopped for a nap in the first guard tower we reached, while it was still cool enough to be chilled sitting in the light breeze. We would regret that not many hours later when the sun had burned the clouds away and we were huffing up terribly steep steps. At the top of those steps, though was our camp for the night, a guard tower in not quite as good repair as our first night's lodgings. It was July 4, so Colin and I split his headphones and listened to the handful of patriotic songs he had on his iPod, wishing we had firecrackers, though that probably would have attracted the wrong sort of attention.
We walked 15 km through two very different sections of the wall on our trip, a crumbling, overgrown bit and an area that had been restored. While we met next to no one on the original wall in Gubeikou, recently redone Jinshanling was busy with families and student groups. Walking was easier in the restored area was easier–no surprise–but the charm of the old wall was missing.
Despite getting an early start, we didn't get on the bus headed to the Great Wall until around 11. A couple of hours later, a man jumped on our bus and said to get off to go to Gubeikou, just like the Internet said he would. Once we're off the bus, he goes on to tell us there's no other bus, but that he's got a friend who could take us there for a reasonable price, just like the Internet said he would. We went along with it, just like the Internet said not to. It's like we never learn. We left a quarter-full yogurt container in the back of the van to curdle in revenge.
"This is your stop," says the driver. "Wall's over there." He points off into the distance, in the wrong direction. An hour of asking strangers how to get to the Great Wall followed, and we were met with more questioning stares than I can recount–"What wall? Oh, that wall." Plenty of people told us it was too far to walk, though distances ranged from 6 to 40 km. Colin's GPS assured us it could not be more than about 10 km to our end point, so there was no way the nearest hopping on point was 40 km away.
Finally a man took us to a spot of road that met a wall-like structure, though it was hard to see through the brush.
Through the brush we went. Colin proposed powering through the part that looked like an easier ascent but was thick with chest-high bushes. Already smarting from the short bit we'd walked through, I figured it would be better to scramble up a steeper area that had less vegetation. We split up.
I realized too late how foolish this all seemed. By that time, I was a good eight feet above flat ground, clinging to rocks that had been baking in the sun for four hours, with one solid foot hold, trying to wretch my sleeve from the grip of some wicked thorns. There was no turning around at that point. It never got so bad or so high that I was afraid of serious bodily harm, but a fall would have hurt with only a cushion of thorn bushes to break it.
Colin made it up first, but his climb hadn't been any easier, especially since his pack had all of our supplies.
But not quite. The wall was too crumbled to walk on just yet, so we picked our way for over an hour along a faint trail beside the wall, bright green thorny plants the whole way. By the time we climbed up (steps, this time), blood seeped from cuts and puncture wounds on the back of my hands and all down my bare legs.
We passed a man herding goats; Colin assured me the rattle I'd heard was coming from cicadas, not rattle snakes; we ate apricots off trees to find maggots inside–in every single one! But our first good view of the wall stretching ahead and disappearing over the horizon struck us speechless.
It was easy going after that; there were a couple good ascents and a few loose bricks, but walking on the thorn-free pathway was infinitely better than that first hour.
We made camp inside a guard tower and watched the bats flit around in the dusk. It was even warm enough to sleep on top of our sleeping bags, which made the stone floor a little more forgiving.
We arrived in Beijing at three, and immediately set out, with our bags, to find a place to stay. The city is absurdly big, and accomodations are scattered all over. What's a backpacker to do? Get really tired.
After asking at I think just one place recommended in the Lonely Planet (300 yuan for their cheapest room!), we headed to the area I'd visited before that I knew has some cheap accomodations. They were full–almost. We managed to get a room for that first night, but we were turned out to the streets the next day.
We spent a couple hours at an Internet cafe searching for information on other hostels, couch surfing opportunities, and the Great Wall–the next day's destination. We had very little luck on all counts. It was a rough day all around, really, and Beijing is so big (I know I'm being repetative) that it takes a long time to get anywhere. Stumbling back from the train station in defeat (no luck getting tickets to a section of the Wall), we stopped at the Drum Tower Hostel. Cheap rooms, and they helped us with info for the Great Wall. The TV in the room wasn't working, so we missed most of Holland beating Brazil because we were too busy repacking the bags so we could carry only water, food, and sleeping bags to the Wall.
We met Andy and Pascal the next morning outside the Drum Tower to catch a bus to the tomb of Emperor Jingdi. In the museum there were hundreds of thigh-high dolls that had been carved and dressed as soldiers, eunuchs, and dancers. Dozens of statues of different kinds of livestock were on display too. When we got to the actual tomb, we were given blue booties to put over our shoes, as we were to walk on glass above the excavation work. Very neat, very dark, and very cool (a relief from the mid-90s outside).
Back in the city, the four of us went to the Muslim Quarter for some chicken kebabs, then they followed us back to our hostel to hang out. Before we got there, Colin got very ill with an upset stomach. He stuck it out, but it was good it was an early night. We would later learn that Andy and Pascal both had terrible stomach aches not long after–I alone escaped.
Luckily we hadn't made plans for the next day. We checked out of the dorm, but took over the hostel's movie area. Colin was feeling better much later than night, just in time to gather our stuff and walk to the train station to catch an overnighter to Beijing. I was lucky enough to have a guy smoking in bed below me.
I came down with a head cold as we pulled into Xi'an, and that put a damper on the first couple days we were in the walled city. I'm going to blame the air on the train, but it really could have been anything.
We literally walked from one side of the city to the other looking for a cheap place to stay, but the hostels were booked and expensive, so we ended up in a dirt-cheap Chinese hotel trying to be Western. The bed was wedged between the wall and a column that took up a quarter of the room, and it was the kind of carpet you didn't want to walk around on, even in socks.
On top of the head cold, there was some confusion with our departure plans, and we ended up at the train station every day we were there, buying tickets, returning tickets, buying new tickets to the same town, returning tickets, buying tickets to a different town… Train stations are quickly becoming one of my least favorite kinds of places.
When we weren't hanging out at the train station with all the people sitting on what look like all of their belongings, we walked. Xi'an has a lovely Muslim Quarter with interesting alleys and tasty food. We lunched on hand-pulled noodles covered in tomatoes and scrambled egg or potatoes and bell peppers. The boys pulling the noodles roll them out then swing them around, smacking them against the metal work surface. Hand-pulled noodles taste better, and they're more fun to eat.
On what we thought would be our last day in Xi'an, we caught the bus out to see the Terracotta Warriors. They're a good 45 minutes outside of the city by public bus. I wasn't expecting much; I've learned not to after so many disappointments. These guys were pretty neat, though. We should have splurged for an audio guide, but even without one it was clear how remarkable these warriors are. They have them as they were found, standing in wide trenches (walls, actually, but the roofs are long-gone), separated by their specialty: archers with the archers, officers with the officers, etc. At the back were a few dozen they've been able to piece together from the broken bits–talk about the most epic puzzle ever. There are three pits to walk through, all set up a bit differently, and then a museum that had a couple interesting exhibits, though all in Chinese.
We caught the wrong bus back (we were lied to); it made more, and longer, stops. It also drove the wrong way up a freeway off ramp, but in the driver's defense, he wasn't the only one.
A check with the Internet informed us that our Taipei pals Andy and Pascal were also in Xi'an. Thinking this too good an opportunity to miss, we changed our train tickets and checked into a different hotel.
They do a funny thing on the trains here. There's a smoking section at the end of each car, but they recirculate the air throughout the train so you end up breathing in the stale smoke anyway. It gives me itchy eyes.
We stopped in Chengdu to take a break from riding these trains. After checking in at a cute hostel on a very touristy pedestrian-only alley, we strolled through the comfortable heat (~28 degrees C) to People's Park.
We did a pretty waltz in our sandals and with our bags knocking, and as the song ended, a gum-smacking woman came up and demanded 1 yuan. With a disgruntled, disbelieving look, I held it out. (1 yuan is less than 15 cents, but we'd only danced one song and pretty clearly weren't there to take advantage of the sound system.) After a second's hesistation, she indicated it was 1 yuan each.
Suddenly we were swarmed by shouting people waving their finger at her. The next song started and a woman asked me to dance, pulling me out of the commotion. Colin had several people approach him to apologize for the scrooge and welcome us to China. The woman herself apologized to both of us–one of the most aggressive, though not hostile, apologies I've ever received.
After my second dance ended, we made a quick and blushing exit.

It's physical link down/up event.
But the SFP type is CISCO, Tx power and Rx power are both 0. So, this issue should be the SFP problem.
The remote replication module need to check the Tx and Rx power when link up event reported, because it need to confirm the link can't work normally. But, when customer use CISCO SFP, the storage can't get Tx and Rx power from the SFP. So, even the SFP is link up the remote replication still can't use it, still consider the link is down.
Change CISCO SFP to our compatible SFP.


Beaverton, Ore. — The High-Definition Audio-Video Network Alliance (HANA) has teamed up with the Continental Automated Buildings Association (CABA) to promote the planned 2.0 version of its technology for distributing high-definition video throughout the home.
HANA plans to release version 2.0 guidelines later this month.
The two groups are also "in early discussions to explore a pilot program that will showcase the HANA technology" and how it distributes HD video throughout the home, she added.
HANA is an alliance of content owners, service providers, CE and IT manufacturers, and software developers. CABA is a North American association that promotes technologies for automating homes and other types of buildings. Its goals include the encouragement of industry-wide interoperability standards.
HANA technology was designed initially as a single-cable way of interconnecting components in a home A/V system and coordinating the operation of those components. The first HANA-enabled A/V products began appearing this year using IEEE 1394 cable connections. HANA, however, also wants to promote version 2.0 of its technology for use with long-range IEEE 1394b or other types of cables, including coax, to enable room-to-room A/V distribution. Although HANA doesn't restrict its technology to 1394, "it's the only network that provides the speed and the quality of service that we need for HANA's applications," the spokeswoman noted.
As a home-network technology, HANA will enable the viewing, pausing and recording of five or more HD channels simultaneously without compromising quality of service; viewing, pausing and recording HD anywhere in the home with just one set-top box; sharing personal content from PCs to A/V devices while keeping protected content secure; controlling all A/V devices and access content with a single remote per room; and adding any device to the home network with just one cable.

Japan's House of Representatives on April 4th passed two nuclear pacts with Turkey and the United Arab Emirates that would lead Japan to export nuclear power infrastructure to the two countries.
The agreements, both concluded last year, would come into force by early May under the Constitution, which stipulates that lower house decisions on state budgets and bilateral treaties prevail in the Diet.
Members of the governing Liberal Democratic party, New Komeito party, and the main opposition Democratic Party of Japan voted for the pacts.

Polio survivor and York, Pa.'s own Vic Wertz: 'The man who hit the ball Mays caught'
The York Daily Record tells about native son and major league slugger Vic Wertz's life and career upon his death in 1983. Here, Wertz holds a photo sequence of his most-noted mark in baseball history. He smashed the 450-foot fly ball that Willie Mays turned into "The Catch" in the 1954 World Series. Background posts: Babe Ruth, indeed, played in York in 1928 and York turned its eyes to Joe DiMaggio and Before the York Revs came the Hanover Raiders.
When York-born major leaguer Vic Wertz did not make the top 10 list of 20th-century York County sports heroes, one fan posed a revealing question:
"How could you leave off Vic Wertz?"
Vic Wertz, indeed, was one of York County's most accomplished professional athletes.
If his long smash had eluded Willie Mays in the 1954 World Series, he would have been on that York Sunday News' list.
But Mays' execution of "The Catch" relegated Vic Wertz to a footnote in national history… .
This headline appeared on Jim Hubley's column about Wertz at the time of his death: "The man who hit the ball Mays caught."
Also overlooked are the stats: "The Catch" was Wertz's only out of the game. He hit two singles, a double and a triple and went 8-for-16 for the series.
So, to preserve his memory in his hometown, here are some long-forgotten details about his life, taken primarily from his obituary story in the York Daily Record on July 8, 1983 (see above):
Wertz was born in 1925, son of Paul I. and Manerva Wertz.
When he died 58 years later during heart surgery, his survivors included his wife, Lucille, and two children from his first marriage to Dallastown native Bernice Wineka.
His baseball career included two moments overshadowed by "The Catch."
The year after the World Series, he was afflicted with polio but bounced back the next season with 32 home runs, his personal best.
Get that? He recovered from polio to play major league baseball.
And in 1958, he broke his ankle 25 games into the season. That ended his season, but he came back for four more.
After retirement, he lived near Detroit and owned a beer distributorship there.
He gained a spot in the Michigan Hall of Fame, but 266 home runs, 1,692 hits and and .277 batting average never gained the attention of Baseball's Hall of Fame.
To Hubley, the comeback from polio and a broken ankle were indicative of Vic Wertz:
"Wertz was indeed a fighter," he wrote.

Q: WPF WebBrowser Content Size I reviewed all of the related questions but was unable to get an answer.
How do I get the current content size of the WebBrowser control in WPF?

A: To determine the actual size(using javascript) of the browser window, use the following properties:
in Internet Explorer (backward-compatibility mode):
document.body.offsetWidth, document.body.offsetHeight

in Internet Explorer (standards mode, document.compatMode=='CSS1Compat'):
document.documentElement.offsetWidth, document.documentElement.offsetHeight

in most other browsers:
window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight
The following code sets the variables winW and winH to the actual width and height of the browser window, and outputs the width and height values. If the user has a very old browser, then winW and winH are set to 630 and 460, respectively.

var winW = 630, winH = 460;
if (document.body && document.body.offsetWidth) {
 winW = document.body.offsetWidth;
 winH = document.body.offsetHeight;
}
if (document.compatMode=='CSS1Compat' &&
    document.documentElement &&
    document.documentElement.offsetWidth ) {
 winW = document.documentElement.offsetWidth;
 winH = document.documentElement.offsetHeight;
}
if (window.innerWidth && window.innerHeight) {
 winW = window.innerWidth;
 winH = window.innerHeight;
}

document.writeln('Window width = '+winW);
document.writeln('Window height = '+winH);

In your browser, this code produces the following output:
Window width = 1280
Window height = 675

Notes:

*

*If the above code executes within a frame or iframe, it will give you the frame's width and height.

*The computed width and height do not include the title bar, menu bar, status bar, or toolbar(s) - but may include the horizontal and vertical scrollbar(s), if any.

*The code that uses document.body.offsetWidth and offsetHeight should be executed after the browser has parsed the  tag.

*If the user resizes the browser window, you may need to recompute the width and height (use window.onresize to do so).

*Similarly, if the user zooms in (or zooms out) you may also need to recompute the width and height.

The first illicit images of the upcoming McLaren 650S dropped last night, and it looked just like somebody stitched the front half of a McLaren P1 to the back half of a McLaren 12C. These new pictures, first obtained by Autocar, confirm that.
McLaren is rumored to have conducted a very un-secret presentation for the media in London ahead of the car's debut at Geneva. Autocar says that McLaren confirmed that the 650S is not an entirely new car, but rather a hotted-up version of the 12C, which normally competes with the 562-horse Ferrari 458. Even still, the "650" in "650S" more than likely refers to the horsepower.
So is this the oft-rumored Ferrari F12 fighter, the McLaren P15? Probably not. But I will never, ever complain about a McLaren with over 600 horses. The more, the merrier.
See more pictures over at Autocar.

α  The order of the D68 point group is 136, and the order of the principal axis (C68) is 68. The group has 37 irreducible representations.
β  The D68 point group is isomorphic to D34d and C68v.
γ  The D68 point group is generated by two symmetry elements, C68 and a perpendicular C2′ (or, non-canonically, C2″).
ε  The lowest nonvanishing multipole moment in D68 is 4 (quadrupole moment).
κ  That a regular 17-gon can be constructed with compass and ruler was unknown to mathematicians until Gauss proved it in 1796.
This Character Table for the D68 point group was created by Gernot Katzer.


When reviewing budgets, board members should look at a few key items that can hint at rocky financial times to come. Most obviously, board members should worry a great deal about a nonprofit with no budget. The lack of an operating budget suggests an undisciplined approach to fiscal matters. And larger nonprofits also should have budgets for each program or department. Ideally, board members will see that budgets proposed by management align with the strategies already developed and approved by the board.
After a budget has been approved, the board should monitor monthly reports for unexplained variances. Some variances are bound to happen, but staff must explain significant discrepancies. There may be a reasonable explanation. The staff might, for example, point to program expansion, funding changes or economic factors beyond the organization's control. Where necessary, the board should direct management to modify plans in response to such issues — for example, cutting discretionary expenses in order to cover an unavoidable cost increase.
Board members also should beware of overspending in one program by taking money from another program. Watch, too, for dipping into the organization's "rainy day" fund (its reserves), raiding an endowment or engaging in unplanned borrowing. Such moves likely mark the beginning of a financially unsustainable cycle.
Untimely, inconsistent financial statements — or statements that aren't prepared using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the latest audit rules — can lead to poor decision-making and undermine a nonprofit's reputation. They also can make it difficult to obtain funding or financing.
Financial statements not prepared in accordance with GAAP (or another recognized standard) can also be unreliable and difficult to compare to others. For larger nonprofits, the board or audit committee should also insist on annual audits and expect to select the audit firm. Members of the audit committee should communicate directly with auditors before and during the process. And all board members should have the opportunity to review and question the audit report.
The board generally should receive the nonprofit's financial statements within 30 days of the close of a period. Late or inconsistent financials could signal understaffing, poor internal controls, an indifference to proper accounting practices or efforts to conceal unpleasant facts.
If the board starts hearing from long-standing, passionate supporters who're harboring doubts about the organization's finances, that's a very bad sign. What are they seeing or hearing that prompts concern?
The board also should take note if development staff begins reaching out to major donors outside of the usual fundraising cycle. These contacts could mean the organization is scrambling for cash and hoping its most dependable donors can help fill the gaps.
It's understandable that board members who have full-time jobs and other responsibilities might cede some of their responsibilities to a trusted executive director. It's also risky.
What are the signs of an executive director who wields too much power? The board should think about making some changes if the executive director chooses the auditor or adds board members, is allowed to ignore expense limits, or makes strategic decisions without board input and guidance.
While board members need to remain alert for trouble spots, it's important not to jump to immediate conclusions if a red flag is uncovered. Further investigation is required. The mere existence of a warning sign doesn't necessarily merit a dramatic response, especially if it's the only warning sign.
Some problems prove easily correctable by, for instance, outsourcing some accounting functions from an understaffed the finance department. On the other hand, multiple or chronic issues could call for significant strategic changes. One thing is certain, though: Inaction in the face of trouble spots is a mistake.

← Business Financing – How to Choose the Best Service Provider?


Overnight, you found yourself in a hospital room and were told that you had had a heart attack. Your doctor then shared a lot of information about your health and told you that you need to make important changes to your lifestyle.
You are not the only one feeling helpless by this unpredictable event.
This time is over. It is over thanks to undisciplined patients who did not respect the instructions to stay put and make no efforts. Over time, the medical profession found that these patients lived better and longer.
Today, we aim for a return to regular activities quickly. There are even people who will say they are in better shape after "their" heart attack than before! Cardiovascular rehabilitation centers are becoming increasingly popular, even in the more rural regions.
That being said, by familiarizing yourself with your new prescribed medications, knowing the characteristics of your new heart condition and getting some good tips on how to improve your lifestyle, you will have all the tools you need to live well after a heart attack.
First, you have to understand what happened.
Remember that with any form of intense chest pain, with or without significant sweating ornausea, we must call 911.
Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) are often well able to diagnose heart attacks as soon as they arrive.
If this is the case, they quickly begin procedures on the patient. Although the patientis made aware of the different steps, sedation, nervousness and especially pain limit his understanding.
It is therefore normal not to have fully understood what is happening to him.
Let's review some basic notions of the disease.
Myocardial infarction, commonly known as a "heart attack", is a result of the clogging of an artery in the heart.
The heart region that is irrigated by this affected artery lacks blood to nourish and adequately oxygenate the heart cells.
It is at this moment that the pain is felt by the patient. Different heart problems can occur at this point: arrhythmias, heart failure, valve dysfunction, etc.
Obviously, this urgent condition must be taken care of quickly.
In large urban centers, these patients are referred directly to a specialized cardiology center to perform actions to clear the affected artery.
The sooner this maneuver is performed after the symptoms appear, the less likely it is that the heart will suffer from this episode.
In more rural areas, patients are referred to the nearest hospital. Adjunctive therapy is administered rapidly to melt the clot in the coronary artery.
The patient may then be transferred to a specialized hospital is always possible in case this therapy does not give the expected results.
Unfortunately, in many cases following a STEMI-type infarction, a scar may be detected on the heart in the obstructed artery region. This may cause a slight decrease in cardiac performance compared to normal.
In the vast majority of cases, the noticeable consequences following a heart attack will cause very little or no symptoms in the future.
Fortunately, it is recognized that lifestyle changes with respect to diet, physical activity and stress management can significantly improve the quality of life by reducing the risk of experiencing symptoms resulting from myocardial infarction or a recurrence.
Following myocardial infarction, some medication has been prescribed to you by the attending physician during your stay at the hospital.
Although you may not want to take so many medications, they are essential to keep your heart healthy. It is therefore very important to take them according to the dosage indicated and not to stop them without the advice of a health professional who is well aware of your medical condition.
You can check the main drugs prescribed, their desired effects as well as their potential side effects from the pharmacological component.
Once again; it is important to always talk to your doctor before stopping any of the above medication because of the side effects.
Several factors can lead to myocardial infarction. Obviously, we have no control over the genes we carry, but it is still possible to reduce the impact of these predispositions by modifying certain behaviors. Your overall health will even be improved.
The common point of the elements mentioned above is inflammation.
Inflammation is the reaction of our immune system to an alteration of our protective barriers.
It is an important phenomenon in some cases because it allows the healing of damaged tissues and the defense against foreign organisms that could invade our body.
When the inflammation persists every day of our life and when it causes the secretion of the chemical substances which should be found on a very occasional basis, our arteries in our body become very fragile. These are then more likely to be invaded by cholesterol, and atheroma plaques eventually form. These plaques can crack and activate blood clotting and eventually become clogged causing clot formation.
Hence, inflammation is the phenomenon that must be controlled through the adoption of healthier lifestyle habits and more optimal control of already known health conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
Changing our way of living is something easy to say, but very difficult to implement. To get to know and understand the healthy life habits, visit the following link.
After a heart attack, a resting period of a few weeks is appropriate.
When you break a leg, you put a cast to help with the healing. But you can't do that with a heart! In this case, the whole body must be immobilized!
The resting period is important for the healing process. The doctor responsible of you during your hospitalization will inform you of the duration of this convalescence.
Usually, the first month after your heart attack is a kind of home vacation. You must limit your activities; light home activities, outdoor walking.
During the second month, the patient resumes his regular activities, often without returning to work. Some people are more stressed when not at work. In this case, a gradual return to work is allowed, but must be done from home, if possible.
Some convalescences may be longer depending on the importance of the heart failure. This additional month really includes all the regular activities a person does when on a vacation.
After a STEMI-type myocardial infarction; driving is unfortunately subject to some constraints. It is generally recommended that driving be prohibited for one month following the cardiac event.
In the case of commercial driving (bus driver, truck driver, etc.), this recommendation is even extended to 3 months, starting on the day the patient is dismissed from the hospital.
For smaller NSTEMI-type heart attacks that require an observation period and a less urgent artery intervention, and when a ultrasound confirms that the consequences are minimal, driving may be allowed as soon as 48 hours after the cardiac procedures.
In the case of commercial driving, you will have to wait for up to 7 days.
Several other recommendations exist in other situations (small attack without intervention in the arteries, without problems with the valves or episodes of malignant arrhythmias, etc.), and it is rather wise to refer to your cardiologist to have the precise information on your conditition.
Doctors do not report to the SAAQ that you have just had a heart attack.
Your willingness to collaborate with medical recommendations will determine your future.
However, if you had the misfortune to cause an accident due to a symptom or cardiac complication that occurred while driving during the time you were advised not to drive, you could be held responsible of the situation.
By driving when recommended not to, your life and the lives of others may be into play.
All patients who have had a heart attack are put on a sick leave.
For those who suffered from a STEMI-type heart attack, a 4 to 8-week leave of absence can be expected depending on the type of work performed (for example, physical and non-physical).
In the case of a NSTEMI-type infarction, depending on the presence or absence of cardiac consequences seen with the echography of the heart, 1 to 2 weeks is generally the norm.
After a prolonged sick leave, especially when your job is physical, it is often possible to return gradually to work. This allows the patient to get used to the intensity of the effort required now that his heart has an injury. The body must also relearn how to work with this pump without forgetting the possible side effects of the medication.
Remember that stress in your workplace can contribute to the progression of your heart disease in the long run. It is essential to make the changes necessary to ensure that your work environment is healthy, balanced and favorable to harmonious interpersonal relationships to allow for better stress management.
HTA is the leading risk factor for death worldwide and is one of the leading risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
Controlling the blood pressure is therefore essential. However, it is not limited to taking medication.
You must make changes to your lifestyle that will have a significant and direct impact on your pressure.
For people without diabetes, home blood pressure of < 135 / 85mmHg is the target.
For diabetic people, one needs to be even more severe by aiming at a blood pressure of < 130 / 85mmHg.
When diabetes is not well controlled, the blood vessels can weaken and clog more easily. The heart is not the only organ that can be affected; the kidneys, the retina of the eyes and the nerves may also suffer.
Diabetics are 2 to 6 times more likely to have a cardiovascular disease than people without diabetes.
Cardiovascular disease is also the leading cause of death for diabetics.
The goal is to maintain a blood glucose level between 4 and 7 mmol/ L before meals and between 5 and 10 mmol / L 2 hours after meals.
The good news is that there is more and more belief that type 2 diabetes is a potentially reversible disease. Indeed, since diabetes is often a consequence of unhealthy human behaviors (mainly a diet rich in low-quality carbohydrates, processed products and saturated fats and sedentary lifestyle), it is known that changing these behaviors would make it possible to significantly improve or even eradicate this disease in some cases.
Obviously, this state of remission can last several years as long as the good life habits are maintained! As soon as they are not maintained, diabetes can quickly return.
It is possible to reduce or even put an end to the doses of diabetes medication. To do so, people must be willing to make significant changes in their lifestyle, mainly in terms of food and physical activity. For those who think that they are taking too much medicine, this is a great opportunity to end some of the doctor's prescriptions while having a healthier lifestyle!
People who suffered from a STEMI-like infarction, a possible depression may occur during convalescence. Energy is at its lowest. Appetite may be absent resulting in weight loss, not to mention sleep disorders.
This stress on the body can trigger some physical and emotional overflows.
After living through an event of this type, several changes must be made. Self-image can be tarnished falsely and it is understood that personal confidence falls drastically.
We must not be afraid to talk about our moods. It is often temporary, but it's important to talk to your family, friends and healthcare professionals.
When is it wise to resume sexual activities after an infarction?
Many people are asking this question. Unlike what many might believe, sexual activity is not a "real" effort. It generates an effort of the same intensity as walking slowly, mowing the grass or house cleaning.
This means that it is part of the normal activities of life.
Thus, this kind of activity can be resumed gradually in the first 7 days after your myocardial infarction.
Erectile dysfunction is an annoying phenomenon for men. It is even more frequent in men who had cardiac episodes.
Obesity, diabetes, sedentary lifestyle, cholesterol, hypertension, smoking, sleep apnea and cardiovascular diseases are well known risk factors that contribute to erectile dysfunction.
Note that it is also possible that some of your new drugs prescribed because of your situation influence your sexual health.
The psychological effect of a heart attack, as described earlier, may have repercussions in intimate moments. Fortunately, it is often temporary. It is important to talk to your doctor about this.
The good news is that, in some cases, sexual dysfunction improves with the adoption of healthier lifestyle habits and with the optimal treatment of several metabolic health conditions such as diabetes.
Some drugs for erectile dysfunction to improve men's sexual health exist: Viagra, Levitra and Cialis.
It is important to know that these medications may interact with Nitroglycerin (often prescribed as a pump when you leave the hospital) causing significant and even deadly pressure drops when both substances are taken at the same time.
Although sexual health is important, it still is not a reason not to use the drugs at your disposal to improve it unless otherwise indicated.
If you experience severe chest pain similar to the one you had during your heart attack while you are still under the influence of this medication 12 to 24 hours before and after taking it, it is rather wise to call the ambulance immediately without using nitro.
You just have to mention the time at which the medication was taken.
The benefits of a more active lifestyle are numerous. In addition to improving your cardiovascular fitness, which has a positive impact on your quality of life, regular physical activity helps reduce blood pressure and blood sugar levels.
In fact, regular physical activity is a catalyst for healthy lifestyles and helps with quitting smoking. It helps us become aware of our diet and shows us that the cigarette no longer has its place as it did before.
In addition, these changes lead to weight loss and they help maintain a healthy weight.
All these changes are closely tied and result in improving blood pressure and better controlling diabetes.
These effects are rapidly apparent from the beginning of a regular physical activity program.
Better physical condition contributes to better stress management. It greatly improves personal confidence, which results in a positive effect on one's mood.
The exercise program can begin as soon as you get home. You can start doing low intensity physical activity again, such as housekeeping and slow walking.
Gradually, in the following weeks, the intensity may slowly increase.
After the first 4 to 8 weeks following your cardiac event, a higher intensity of physical activity can be achieved.
Subsequently, gradually increase the frequency, duration and intensity of your physical activities.
Try to meet or exceed the Canadian guidelines for a minimum of 150 minutes of average intensity physical activity per week.
The right intensity is attained when one is able to speak, while being slightly out of breath; an intensity of 3 to 5 out of 10 on the effort perception scale (see corresponding image). These 150 minutes can be divided into slices of at least 10 minutes, several times a day. Frequency is the key! We therefore have the advantage to do it often.
It is important to always start with a warm up. Spend the first 5 to 10 minutes of your activity to warm up, gradually increasing the intensity. This will allow you to be more comfortable during your activity and it will facilitate the work to be done by your heart.
Similarly, at the end of your workout, take a few minutes to gradually reduce your intensity, catch your breath and lower your heart rate.
When doing weight training, be sure to adopt the proper breathing technique by exhaling when you force. It is important to avoid holding back or blocking your breath, which is called the Valsalva maneuver. This causes an unnecessary increase in your blood pressure.
Many people are afraid to engage in physical activity after a heart attack.
A good way to reassure yourself is to be accompanied by someone and to carry your cell phone and nitro pump on you. So, if a glitch occurs, you'll be taken care of quickly.
In addition, the best health professional to work with when you resume your physical activity is the kinesiologist. He is able to adapt a fitness program to your heart condition and can safely supervise your workout.
The cardiovascular rehabilitation center has a global approach.
The interested person is well surrounded by different professionals having a common goal: improving the quality of life and survival. No pill has more impact on health than exercise and healthy eating!
In these centers, you could meet kinesiologists, nutritionists, doctors, nurses and psychologists.
It is an investment in time that can sometimes be rare, but the benefits are quickly noticeable. Remember, there is no better treatment than doing regular physical activity.
The important thing to remember is that small changes in your lifestyle can have a big impact on your health.
Even if these changes appear to you like being huge, trust yourself. Integrate your new habits one day at a time.
Nutritionists and kinesiologists can provide you with the right tools to achieve your goals. Do not hesitate to consult these health professionals who will guide you in your new way of life.
This article does not replace a medical appointment. So, if you feel the need, talk to your doctor.
