CHANGE!
I told Im from Bengal, after 34 years of rule from CPIM (Communist Party Of India), we are being ruled by TMC (Trinomool Congress). Now the Communist Part DID HAVE FAULTS WHILE RULING, AND THEY GOT TOO AUTOCRATIC BUT WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW IS SIMPLY UNBEARABLE. The TMC Party tortures those who do not listen to them and oppose them. There has been several WOMEN ABUSE cases and the government has taken no step at all,just because the people who abused them belong from the TMC Party. Everyone wanted a CHANGE,but isnt this called A FORCED CHANGE? Our CHIEF MINISTER is absolutely autocratic and what we are experiencing is called DICTATORSHIP! Several people,everywhere, we are trying hard to gain supports back. WE OPPOSE CAPITALISM AND WE WILL ALWAYS DO SO.
RED SALUTE AND SALUTE TO RED!
Bacterial Root Nodules
These are bacterial root nodules on the root of runner bean Phaseolus coccineus. Each nodule contains a population of Rhizobium bacteria that are capable of converting atmospheric nitrogen into soluble forms of nitrogen that the plant can use for growth - which is what makes this symbiotic association between plant and bacterium so valuable for agriculture. In annual legume crops, once the bean crop has been harvested the root nodules decay and release nitrogen in the soil, where it can give a yield boost to following non-legume crops in the crop rotation - like wheat, for example.
In this image one of the nodules has been cut in transverse section and stained with the fluorochromes calcofluor and auramine O. The plant root, with its xylem vessels visible, is at the top. The bacteria filling the root nodule, encased in blue-stained plant cells, are stained yellow. The Rhizobium bacteria in the soil penetrate through a root hair, trigger proliferation of the host plant root cells to form a nodule and multiply within. Healthy root nodules are pink when you cut them open due to the presence of leghaemoglobin which, like haemoglobin in mammalian blood, absorbs oxygen. This is important because oxygen would otherwise inhibit the enzymes in the nodule that fix nitrogen into soluble forms. Bacterial nodules that are not pink when you cut them open are likely to be parasitic on the host plant, rather than symbiotic.
This is the difference that nodulation makes. The plant on the right has effective nodules, the one on the left doesnt. The interaction between plant and bacterial strain is complex; for any give crop cultivar, different bacteral strains will show varying degrees of effectiveness in boosting crop yield and different crop varieties perform best with different bacterial strains. Deliberately inoculating seeds with effective Rhizobium strains can produce significant yield benefits, although there is no guarantee that any particular inoculum will persist in a soil type or location where its not a naturally-occurring strain amongst the existing soil microbial community.
Gorgon sisters Stheno Euryale and Medusa Greek Mythology Names
The Gorgons, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa, were the three daughters of Phorcys and Ceto, and were the personification of those benumbing, and, as it were, petrifying sensations, which result from sudden and extreme fear.
They were frightful winged monsters, whose bodies were covered with scales; hissing, wriggling snakes clustered round their heads instead of hair; their hands were of brass; their teeth resembled the tusks of a wild boar; and their whole aspect was so appalling, that they are said to have turned into stone all who beheld them.
These terrible sisters were supposed to dwell in that remote and mysterious region in the far West, beyond the sacred stream of Oceanus.
The Gorgons were the servants of Aïdes, who made use of them to terrify and overawe those shades, doomed to be kept in a constant state of unrest as a punishment for their misdeeds, whilst the Furies, on their part, scourged them with their whips and tortured them incessantly.
The most celebrated of the three sisters was Medusa, who alone was mortal. She was originally a golden-haired and very beautiful maiden, who, as a priestess of Athene, was devoted to a life of celibacy; but, being wooed by Poseidon, whom she loved in return, she forgot her vows, and became united to him in marriage. For this offence she was punished by the goddess in a most terrible manner. Each wavy lock of the beautiful hair which had so charmed her husband, was changed into a venomous snake; her once gentle, love-inspiring eyes now became blood-shot, furious orbs, which excited fear and disgust in the mind of the beholder; whilst her former roseate hue and milk-white skin assumed a loathsome greenish tinge. Seeing herself thus transformed into so repulsive an object, Medusa fled from her home, never to return. Wandering about, abhorred, dreaded, and shunned by all the world, she now developed into a character, worthy of her outward appearance. In her despair she fled to Africa, where, as she passed restlessly from place to place, infant snakes dropped from her hair, and thus, according to the belief of the ancients, that country became the hotbed of these venomous reptiles. With the curse of Athene upon her, she turned into stone whomsoever she gazed upon, till at last, after a life of nameless misery, deliverance came to her in the shape of death, at the hands of Perseus.
It is well to observe that when the Gorgons are spoken of in the singular, it is Medusa who is alluded to.
Medusa was the mother of Pegasus and Chrysaor, father of the three-headed, winged giant Geryones, who was slain by Heracles.

Disclaimer : The photographs used in the post do not belong to me.
Query of the day : Google celebrates the birthdays of individual people and owing to the point it stretches such things,its going to celebrate International Pig Day at some point of time. Why not International Workers Day?
A little information : This is my one of the two posts in this month and I will be doing the second post on 26th May.On 9th May,there is Tagores birthday,so I extend my wishes to you all for that in advance.I hope you all are having a great time and trying hard for others to have a great time as well.Have Perspectives.And very hearty wishes for this Workers Day.
The Inner Workings of an Onion
Onions have long been a favourite source of material for microscopists who want to explore the inner workings of a cell. Peel apart the onion bulb scales and its easy to strip away the skin of cells that coats the scales; mount these in water on a microscope slide and large, brick-shaped translucent cells are easily visible and reveal the nucleus, that contains the DNA and controls the life of the cell. The centre of the cell is occupied by a large fluid-filled vacuole, with cytoplasm squeezed between it and the cell walls. Watch for a while and it soon becomes apparent the the cytoplasm is constantly streaming around the cell walls, carrying with it minute organelles like the mitochondria, they provide the energy that keeps the cells alive. Sometimes the cytoplasm is drawn out in strings across the vacuole, like stretched-out chewing gum. The whole of the cell is in a constant state of motion. So, next time youre about to chop an onion and chuck it in the frying pan, pause for a moment and contemplate the marvellous process shown in these video clips, which is going on in hundreds of thousands of cells in the living onion in your hand.

Jumping Jack Toy Wooden Toy Plans
A Toy Jumping-Jack is always amusing, and Fig. 110 shows a simply constructed home-made model. You will see by Fig. 113 how the figure is made. The peaked hat is half a spool tapered down from the end to the center; and the head is the center from a darning-cotton spool, shaped down at one end for a neck, and with eyes, nose, and mouth cut in on one side.
Fig. 110.—Pull the string and Jack jumps comically.
Figure 113 shows the diagrams for the front and back of the body, the arms, and the legs.
These are cut out of cigar-box wood.
Cut the neck stick A long enough to run through the head and hat, with a square block on the end to fit between the body pieces.
The blocks B should be of the same thickness as block A.
Bore the pivotal holes through the arms and legs in the positions shown, using a small gimlet or red-hot nail with which to do the boring, and tie a piece of heavy linen thread through each as shown.
The arms and legs are pivoted on brads driven through the front of the body into the back.
Fig. 113.—Details of Body of the Jumping-Jack shown in Fig. 110.
When the body has been fastened together, bring the ends of the threads together, and tie to a small ring; also knot the threads close to the body to keep them together.
In painting Jack, you might provide him with a red coat, blue trousers and a blue hat, white stockings, and black shoes.
