The Left parties are supporting the workers' right to go on strikes and countering the Pension Fund Regulatory Authority Bill, CITU State president S. Veeraiah said on Sunday.
Speaking at the 21st general conference of LIC Employees Union's at the LIC Divisional Office here, he said India could withstand the global economic crisis on account of the stand of the Left parties that public sector undertakings and financing agencies should be in the Government's control. The Nuclear Bill and reforms were delayed by four years owing to pressure from the Leftists. The onslaught on workers' rights was also resisted by the Communists, Mr. Veeraiah said.
Employment of four crore persons was safeguarded due to 13 nationwide-strikes organised by Communist parties, the CITU leader said. Employees and workers must strive to safeguard pro-worker Governments in West Bengal, Kerala and Tripura, Mr. Veeraiah said. All India Insurance Employees Association national joint secretary V. Ramesh said LIC employees secured a good pay revision recently. He wanted a concerted movement to oppose Bills on increasing foreign direct investment in the insurance sector.
LIC Senior Divisional Manager M. Veerabhadra Rao, union president A. Sultan Mohiddin, general secretary B.V.S. Raju, union's zonal president B. Rajendra Kumar, joint secretary Clement Xavier Das and Class I union general secretary D. Basava Raju, LIC Pensioners Association president S. Khader Basha and CITU district general secretary A. Ramamohan participated.

I have a task to make the following function as precise (the speed is not the aim) as possible. I have to use float and the method of middle rectangles. Could you suggest something? Actually, I think, it's all about minimization of float rounding errors. That's what I've done:
typedef float T;
T integrate(T left, T right, long N, T (*func)(T)) {
long i = 0;
T result = 0.0;
T interval = right - left;
for(i = 0; i < N; i++) {
result += func(left + interval * (i + 0.5) / N) * interval / N;
return result;

very good position - Anonymous
Staff was very friendly, hotel was as close to the center of town as possible and everything worked smoothly. - Anonymous
Brand new apartment - just renovated in a lovely old building in the very centre of Brusssels
I was the first person to stay there
Great facilities, very quiet
Lovely staff
Nice breakfast
I'll definitely stay again. - Anonymous
This place is right where you want to be. Just a few steps away is great shopping, restaurants, etc just a little off the beaten path which was cool. Then, Grand Place is just a few blocks away. The staff is super nice and helpful. Giuseppe was awesome. The first day he pulled out a map and gave us some awesome suggestions for restaurants and areas we probably wouldn't have found. He really made the stay that much better. The room is newly renovated and the fixtures are nice. Very brigh - Anonymous
Though it is a small hotel with around 13 rooms it is very cosy. The hotel is built around 1930s and thus creates a very lovely atmosphere, with original reception and bar interior still intact. It has good location in the city center (close to both metro and tram), big and spacious bed, proper shower. Breakfast was allright. Staff was very friendly and helpful. - Anonymous
Amazing!! Perfect location, nicely decorated room and very very delicious breakfast!! I didn't expect this much when I booked this B&B. Also the owner Fabien was very thoughtful and friendly! I would stay here if I visit brussels again!! - Anonymous
We had room 8 and it was very roomy - bedroom, sitting room and a large, remodeled bathroom downstairs (spiral staircase). The bed was very comfortable. There was antique furniture in the place and modern fixtures. Interesting and charming. Breakfast was good and the host was very talkative and friendly. Easy access to the Grand Place, Mannequin Pis and all the shopping. - Anonymous
Being situated in the real downtown centre but in a very small street
where they owe the only 3 house (1 with studios & apartments, the
other 2 with rooms), it is of a real big pleasure to have this quiet
island in a very small street with no noise and no traffic around. You
feel at once like at home. The beds are ergonomic. They had a little
problem of overbooking, but at least gave me a room for free for my
only night there. All was perfect, the receptionist smiling and
helpful. For such - Anonymous
I am relieved. After so many years of bad hotel accommodation in Brussels I finally found such a great place to stay for an affordable price.
The apartment is just next to the Grand Platz, main boulevard, main shopping street and metro station. It is built in an old building that was completely refurbished in an ideal way where owners managed to preserve the original stairways to the apartments, original beautiful brick walls and wooden beams, antique wardrobe… Everything new they built in is - Anonymous
incredibly good service, people were smiling all the time, very very polite and kind. location is just perfect - sablon is the best and most aristocratic part of brussels, in my view. very safe as well. hotel room - clean, nice, quiet. Overall the service and the location make this a hotel to return to. - Anonymous

Incredible photos of US Marines learning how to survive in the jungle during one of Asia's biggest military exercises
Chaiwat Subprasom/REUTERSA US Marine eats a scorpion as part of a survival exercise during Cobra Gold 2010.The US-led annual multinational military exercise Cobra Gold kicked off in Thailand on Monday, despite a faltering relationship between the two countries following Thailand's military coup in May 2014.
Cobra Gold 2015 is scaled down due compared to past years because of the frosty relations between Thailand's ruling military junta and the US. But it's still a massive military exercise even in a reduced form. This year 13,000 personnel from 7 participating nations have joined in the exercises, the AP reports.
The participant countries are Thailand, the United States, Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, Republic of Korea and Malaysia, while India and China are taking part in humanitarian training missions. Even though the exercise is smaller than in the past, the scope of Cobra Gold has grown since the first one was held in 1982 and involved only
Exercises in Cobra Gold 2015 include jungle survival training and civic assistance programs in underdeveloped regions of Thailand.
Survival training is a big part of Cobra Gold. Thai Marines demonstrate how to capture a cobra in the wild.
Cpl. Isaac Ibarra/USMC
US Marines then help decapitate the cobra and take turns drinking its blood. Cobra blood is surprisingly hydrating and can be used as a temporary replacement for water if a Marine is lost without supplies.
Cpl. Isaac Ibarra/USMC
Thai Marines also teach their counterparts how to recognize edible jungle fruits.
Cpl. Isaac Ibarra/USMC
Like cobra blood, several of the fruits can serve as an improvised source of hydration.
Cpl. Isaac Ibarra/USMC
Marines are also instructed in the proper way to eat scorpions and spiders. Spiders are eaten after their fangs are ripped off, while scorpions are edible once the stinger is removed.
Cpl. Isaac Ibarra/USMC
Aside from survival lessons, participant countries also take part in construction projects to build greater regional cooperation in the event of disasters like typhoons or plane crashes. Here, Chinese and US soldiers work together to build a school as part of Cobra Gold 2015.

Event provides free pet adoptions
SAN FRANCISCO - Dogs and cats headed home with their new owners during the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SF SPCA) Be Mine Adopt-a-thon held Feb. 8 to 10 here.
The three-day event, which centered on the theme of Valentine's Day, allowed Bay Area residents to adopt animals staying at the shelter with no adoption fee, meaning that adopters paid nothing for their pets.
The adoption process still required those interested to fill out an application and complete a short interview with an employee of the organization.
"Many cats and dogs are adopted during the adopt-a-thons. The more events we do like these, more lives are saved," said Cynthia Kopec, vice president of SF SPCA marketing and communications. "We (the SF SPCA) hope to do better than last year's record."
In 2012, at the Be Mine Adopt-a-thon, there were 98 animals adopted. At this year's event 141 cats and dogs were adopted in total. Friday, 64 pets were adopted on that day alone.
"Historically, there has been bias against the fee-waived philosophy, that it wouldn't work. But the research says it's not true," Kopec said. "These events show that people do, in fact, want to have pets."
Maddie's Shelter Medicine Program, a veterinary group dedicated to providing academic animal welfare information, released data last year regarding the results of fee-waived adoption events.
The institute found that the 57 percent of the adopters who completed the survey reported that 93 percent of the dogs and 95 percent of cats were still in their homes after a year. Those who did not remain in home were returned to the shelter, placed in another home, had died or had gone missing.
Since the SF SPCA is a no-kill shelter, meaning any animal they get is not euthanized, the location fills up with pets quickly. The organization only takes in the number of cats and dogs it can comfortably fit.
"During this time of year, there is a low (rate) of adoptions. It's fun to market (Valentine's Day) as a theme," Kopec said. "It just lends itself for fun."
Each day different festivities were held to get people to come in and support the SF SPCA with donations or to take a pet home.
On Friday evening, the Be Mine Tattoo Cocktail Party was held from 4:30 to 9 p.m. The party offered complimentary snack foods, as well as free alcoholic drinks. On Saturday, the SF SPCA offered four workshops led by animal behavior experts.
They taught people how to read the body language of their pets and how to help potential adopters to find the pet best for them. The workshops were separated by feline and canine behavior to focus on those animals' mentality more closely.
On both Saturday and Sunday bake sales were offered to benefit the SF SPCA's foster department, as well as a Smooch the Pooch Kissing Booth - where attendees paid to have their faces licked by dogs.
San Francisco resident Gregory Armijo went to the party to check out the type of dogs they had, however he said he could not find one that would be allowed in his housing situation.
Armijo chuckled and said, "For adopters, tonight, it's like going home wasted and waking up with someone sleeping next to you and not recollecting what happened. It isn't a person though, it's a dog."
During the party, tattoo artists like Dannyboy Smith of Let It Bleed Tattoo, donated his services to provide people $40 tattoos, giving the funds to the organization.

We're trying to be optimistic about the upcoming NBA lockout. There will be one, but with the great ratings and all the momentum the NBA picked up this year the two sides would not let it get to the point that training camps and games are lost right? Right? Um, that's not exactly how Ray…

At this point, there is no move the Cavaliers can make that would surprise me. Because, at this point — the absolute nadir of a rebuilding process — what player on that roster do you have to keep? Now J.J. Hickson, he is being shopped around according to a tweet from the well-connected Brian Windhorst…
Rick Barry say's LeBron's coaches are problem, Rick Carlisle disagrees
Jun 16, 2011, 11:29 AM EDT
The one person that matters — Pat Riley — thinks Heat coach Erik Spoelstra did a good job this season. At least good enough to be back for a second season. That hasn't stopped people outside the team from speculating about Spoelstra's future and what kind of job he did. That includes Rick Barry, the…

Shaq denies involvement, will not be charged in beating
Jun 16, 2011, 10:25 AM EDT
Seven Los Angeles gang members may have committed kidnapping and assault in Shaquille O'Neal's name, but he said he had no knowledge of it. The prosecutors agree and Shaq will face no charges in the case (the victim allegedly thought Shaq was behind it). Shaq was not named in the criminal complaint, according to the…
Video: Dallas Mavericks do Letterman's Top 10
Jun 16, 2011, 10:02 AM EDT
Ahh, the perks of being a champion. The parties at Miami night clubs, the parades, the getting to take the Larry O'Brien trophy to the bathroom — and getting to go on Late Night with David Letterman and do the Top 10 list. Personally, Mark Cuban's was the one that made me laugh out loud.…
Cavaliers say they are undecided on who is No. 1 pick
Jun 16, 2011, 9:37 AM EDT
Unofficially, Kyrie Irving has been the guy, the clear No. 1 overall pick and the guy Cavaliers officials were excited about picking. But officially, they say they have not decided, that Derrick Williams could move past Irving into the No. 1 slot, they told Marc Spears of Yahoo. And in a year where there is…
Rubio's coming, just a little "bump" with his buyout
Jun 16, 2011, 8:13 AM EDT
Next season, whenever that starts, Ricky Rubio will be with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Whether he brings a jump shot with him is another question, but he will be here. So what was with his little comment a day ago that he is still talking with Barcelona (the Spanish team where he has played the last…
Stoudemire says LeBron needs to respect, connect like MJ

LeBron needs to improve his game… but what aspect?
Jun 15, 2011, 7:03 PM EDT
This much is clear, for LeBron James to reach his goal of a championship he is going to have to step his game up. The question is how? For a moment, we're going to get away from the psychological aspect and what happened in the fourth quarters of the finals, the need of LeBron to…
Heat extend qualifying offer to Mario Chalmers
Jun 15, 2011, 4:55 PM EDT
The Miami Heat have extended a qualifying offer to third-year point guard Mario Chalmers, according to the Associated Press. Which is the smart thing to do if they have any intention of keeping him. While in theory Chalmers could sign the qualifying offer, what will really happen is this allows Chalmers to explore the market…

Can Dallas repeat? Yes, but the path will be harder.
Jun 15, 2011, 2:12 PM EDT
The Dallas Mavericks are basking in the glow of their first ever championship — taking part in a championship parade, going to the bathroom with the Larry O'Brien trophy and getting arrested. You know, all the good stuff. But the question has already come up — can they do it again. The Mavericks think so.…

According to USDA's Great Stink Bug Count project homeowners as far north as Ohio and south in Georgia are counting stink bugs.
As the fall air turns cold, swarms of brown marmorated stink bugs are ready to crawl from woods and fields — especially in the Mid-Atlantic region, including Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Delaware — in search of a warm spot to spend the winter, and any house will do, the Washington Post reports.
"The numbers have just been way up all summer long heading into August," said Mike Raupp, a professor of entomology at the University of Maryland. "The data coming in says numbers are pretty high."
The federal government reiterated that message. "There are certainly plenty out there," said Tracy Leskey, a research entomologist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. "In some locations, we've seen high trap counts."
Leskey also told the Post that according to USDA's Great Stink Bug Count project homeowners as far north as Ohio and south in Georgia are counting stink bugs.

bamboo producing seed
cliffthegoalie1972(okla7)April 19, 2011
I have some bamboo that is going to produce seed. I believe it is sasa palmata. What should I do to collect the seed for planting>
kudzu9(Zone 8a - PNW)
The seed is mature when you can shake it loose by moving the culm around vigorously. Some people just spread a tarp or cloth on the ground to catch the seed.
Bamboo seed declines in viability in a matter of months, so it is best to plant it right away, or to store it in your refrigerator if you want to try to preserve its viability.

Located on the top of a ridge jutting out into Seatons bay on the eastern side of Antigua facing into the trade winds.Jasmine hill house is cooled by the breeze and has water views of the bay and out to the sea.All 4 bedrooms are self contained and two are airconditioned.The kitchen is well equiped with a 6 burner stove,toaster,blender,food processor,micro wave,coffee maker,dishwasher etc.( we like to cook). There is a gas BBQ by the al fresco dining table on the front verandah. There is a washer & dryer.The front bedroom has a large king sized bed and the middle and end bedrooms have 2 x doubles and the fourth bedroom has a queen.There is free wireless internet (fast), a stereo CD/radio/tape player and a DVD(UK and US systems) player for the TV. The location is peaceful and very relaxing. There are several restaurants nearby and nothing is more than 30 minutes drive away. A rental car is a must and we can help you with that.
Keywords: Comfortable,cool,great sea views,private,well equipped,1.5 acres of mature gardens,bird life frigate birds,pelicans,hawks,doves etc.
We have lived in Antigua for 33 years. Our children grew up here, with the sea playing a huge role in their lives.
EM purchased this villa in 1977
This is one of the nicest areas on the island, with cooling breezes, green hillsides and occasional villages. We are in a quiet situation, offering a peaceful sojourn for our guests. A sunset drink around the pool followed by dinner al fresco is a most enjoyable way to end your days.
We have a our own swimming pool, with a standard depth of 4'8' - no diving 27 ft long and 14ft wide. It is set in one and a half acres of private mature gardens, with wonderful sea views on three sides. This eastern side of Antigua is cool with sunset views on the western side of the property. Ideal for pool and lunch parties at the dining table on the pool verandah. We have also very successfully held weddings here, and Antigua is a noted 'wedding' destination. There is a great deal of yachting acitivity on the island and the last week in April is given over to Antigua Sailing Week, attended by some of the wor ld's most famous yachts. We are about 15 minutes drive from English Harbour where the yachts moor, and during the winter months an evening drive there to see the moored yachts and to have dinner at one of the many good restaurants in the area is a wonderful way to spend an evening. For the more adventurous it is possible to hire small rental yachts for a day's sailing. There are several good round-the-island day tours both by car and boat, well worth taking. Deep sea fishing, para-sailing, scuba diving, golf are a few of the pastimes on offer. There is a very good boat eco-tour on offer from Antigua Adventures - not only is it a good sight-seeing experience but it offers a wealth of information about the island, the sea, and all the creatures in it. There are two duty free shopping areas in St. John's with good clothing jewellery lines available. The first is Heritage Quay, and the second Redcliffe Quay, which is a little colony of traditional style Antigua buildings housing the various shops. There is also a pony club, situated near to English Harbour.
It is possible to access most popular outdoor activities in Antigua.
I would highly recommend Jasmine Hill villa to anyone looking for a great getaway, relaxing holiday or an island adventure. You'll need a car to navigate to/from this property and the rest of the island.
The property is very private, sitting at the end of a promontory and offers such beautiful vistas! It has calmness about it that one can only just sit back and relax.
All pictures truly do match the amenities provided at the house.
We enjoyed the pool with the gorgeous views of the clear blue ocean and we relaxed every evening under the patio !!!
It was very clean and the housekeeper who came in the middle of the week made our stay comfortable. The villa was sprayed with bugs repelant and none of us were bitten there.
EM and her husband (the owners), Jim and Madeleine, (our neighbors and EM sister) made us a very warm welcome, and were very helpful with great advices to discover the island.
We ordered a basic groceries basket (meat, pasta, fruits for the 1st evening and coffee, milk, orange juice, butter jam and toasts for the next morning). We really appreciated that everything was stocked and fresh upon our arrival.
We spent most days exploring the different beaches around Antigua. Half Moon Beach and Rendez-Vous Bay were the nicest beaches we found on the island. It was about a 15-20 minute drive from the Villa. We also went to Stingray City (it is located just 2 minutes driving from the villa) and really enjoyed it! The island offers sailing, fishing, kayaking, and golf not to mention so many other activities.
All of us (4 adults and 2 children 10 & 6) only complaint being at Jasmine Villa is that a week was not enough!!

dead (or still dying?) sansevieria, any way to save it?
i got my sansevieria months ago, i forgot what exactly it is, either fischerii or ballyi, and :'( i know it is my fault for not watering it for like 1 month, i neglected it and now i'm feeling really bad. I live in a tropical, hot country where i use air con everytime i am inside my room, and i put it in my room. I'd been busy and totally forgot that I actually own a plant in my room.
Thats when i noticed that it's wrinkling, and kinda crisp, the leaves were drooping. and 3/4 of the leaves just fell apart as i touched it. the last time i watered it was one or one and a half month ago.
Now theres only a few leaves near the roots left, is there any way to save it? i really don't want it to die :(. Thank you. and yes i know it's the kind of plant that would survive in extreme condition, and it died or still dying. and it's a hundred percent my fault.
sorry for the seashells and things on the pot, yes it kinda annoys me too since i have zero knowledge about plants so i don't wanna mess around with it, it's been like that since i bought the plant from a known garden in my area.
here i took some pictures with my dslr camera with better resolution so you can zoom in and out as you wish better. thank you for all responses, i really wish i could save this plant.
I think those leaves are not new baby leaves but old lower dried up. Correct me if I'm wrong. Please touch the rhizome if it's soft or squishy. Roots look ok to me. I would cut those leaves until I see how inside of rhizome looks like. If its brown, hollow it's goner. It should be pale green or soft yellow color. Dust w/cinnamon,let dry. Pot up in a few days and don't water. Soil mix should be fast draining.
But let's wait until someone else more experienced chime in. I could be wrong.

Honestly, I can't imagine a better tale.
A detective story that's at once mythically large and painfully intimate.
Just the simple facts are hard to believe: that in 1951, a poor black woman named Henrietta Lacks dies of cervical cancer, but pieces of the tumor that killed her--taken without her knowledge or consent--live on, first in one lab, then in hundreds, then thousands, then in giant factories churning out polio vaccines, then aboard rocket ships launched into space. The cells from this one tumor would spawn a multi-billion dollar industry and become a foundation of modern science--leading to breakthroughs in gene mapping, cloning and fertility and helping to discover how viruses work and how cancer develops (among a million other things). All of which is to say: the science end of this story is enough to blow one's mind right out of one's face.
But what's truly remarkable about Rebecca Skloot's book is that we also get the rest of the story, the part that could have easily remained hidden had she not spent ten years unearthing it: Who was Henrietta Lacks? How did she live? How she did die? Did her family know that she'd become, in some sense, immortal, and how did that affect them? These are crucial questions, because science should never forget the people who gave it life. And so, what unfolds is not only a reporting tour de force but also a very entertaining account of Henrietta, her ancestors, her cells and the scientists who grew them.
The book ultimately channels its journey of discovery though Henrietta's youngest daughter, Deborah, who never knew her mother, and who dreamt of one day being a scientist.
As Deborah Lacks and Skloot search for answers, we're bounced effortlessly from the tiny tobacco-farming Virginia hamlet of Henrietta's childhood to modern-day Baltimore, where Henrietta's family remains. Along the way, a series of unforgettable juxtapositions: cell culturing bumps into faith healings, cutting edge medicine collides with the dark truth that Henrietta's family can't afford the health insurance to care for diseases their mother's cells have helped to cure.
Rebecca Skloot tells the story with great sensitivity, urgency and, in the end, damn fine writing. I highly recommend this book. --Jad Abumrad
