How do you cool down a computer

     Don't let overheating damage your computer. Computers are power hungry machines. A PC in high performance mode can consume 250-300 watts of power, the majority of which is eventually converted to heat — a room heater operates at 1000 watts.

     This means that PCs are highly prone to overheating which can reduce the lifespan of computer components and lead to irreparable data loss. It's a big issue in India because of high natural temperatures.

     To remedy the situation, you need to first be aware of it. There are several applications and gadgets available on line that allow you to read your computer's internal temperature —download one of them.

Real Temp: http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp

     Computer temperatures should ideally be around 40 degrees on start-up and 55 degrees during high performance.

How do you cool down a computer?

     1 Keep it clean — dust is an insulator and causes heat to build up. It can also mess up the functioning of the CPU fan.

     2 Position it properly. Make sure the inlet to the fan is open to a source of cool air.

     3 If it gets too hot, turn off applications or just shut it down.

     4 Advanced users can also try to under clock processors if heating becomes an issue.

Kids of widowed daughters to be included in CGHS

     It’s a move that will go a long way in empowering widowed/separated daughters dependent on their parents. Last month, the ministry of health and family welfare decided to expand the ambit of Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) to include dependent children of widowed/separated daughters as beneficiaries under the government’s comprehensive health scheme. Till now, serving central government employees, pensioners, current and former members of Parliament, serving and retired judges of Supreme Court and high court, freedom fighters, accredited journalists, former governor and former vice president of India could avail of CGHS benefits.

    “The move has been initiated with the aim of empowering widowed and separated daughters who live with parents who are CGHS beneficiaries,” said a health ministry official.

Though the health ministry does not have an exact count of dependent children of widowed/ separated daughters of CGHS beneficiaries, senior officials said the move would benefit thousands of children.

    “It’s a conservative estimate that the number would run into thousands,” said a ministry official.

     Currently, there are nine lakh CGHS beneficiaries in India, of which six lakh are serving government employees.

      Currently, the health ministry spends approximately R1,200 crore on CGHS. “The number of dependent children of widowed/separated daughters of CGHS beneficiaries runs into a few thousands. It won’t result in any massive hike in the CGHS budget,” said a senior ministry official.

    The decision was taken following the recommendation of the 6th Central Pay Commission to expand the definition of “family” under CGHS.

     “The health ministry has examined the matter and it has now been decided, with the approval of the competent authority, to expand the definition of family under CGHS to include minor children of widowed/separated daughters, who are dependent upon the CGHS beneficiary,” a ministry circular stated.

     The upper age limit of the dependents for the purpose of being eligible for CGHS medical facilities will be 18 years. “They should normally be residing with the government servant/pensioner,” the circular added.

     The Central Government Health Scheme was started in 1954 to provide comprehensive health care facilities to central government employees, pensioners and their family members residing in CGHS covered cities.

    The medical facilities are provided through wellness centres, polyclinics under allopathic, ayurveda, yoga, unani and homeopathic system of medicines.

BIGGEST VICTORY IN ALL UNION STRIKE

     The 24-hour country-wide strike called by major trade unions today to protest "anti-labour" policies of the government and rising prices evoked a mixed response with the banking and transport sector hit in some parts.

     In West Bengal, there were fewer vehicles on the road but several schools and government offices remained open following the warning given by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee that absence from duty will be treated as a break in service.

Director General of Police Naparajit Mukherjee said in Kolkata that the situation was normal in the districts. Some arrests have been made in certain places including Hasnabad and Madhyamgram for obstructing traffic, he said.

     In the country's commercial capital, Mumbai, the strike had a partial impact with financial institutions getting affected.

     Barring banking and insurance sector, which have a large presence of trade unions, normal life was largely unaffected in the metropolis with all essential services especially public transport functioning as usual.

"The shutdown in the banking and financial sector has been complete. The RBI's clearing houses are shut. So the private and foreign banks where we do not a have a presence, also get affected," General Secretary of All India Bank Employees Association, Vishwas Utagi claimed.

Services at both the city airports was smooth inspite of the strike call by 11 trade unions.

     In Delhi, the strike had little impact though normal functioning of PSU banks were affected and a number of autos and taxi drivers kept their vehicles off the roads to take part in the protest.

  

     Commuters complained that the frequency of the state-run buses were low. Several passengers were stranded in the morning at railway stations and bus terminals.

     Normal life was hit in Kerala due to the strike with buses keeping off the roads and shops remaining shut.The strike also affected functioning of banks and offices as pro-Left unions in the state sector also joined the protest against the "neo-liberal economic and labour policies" pursued by the UPA Government at the Centre.

     The Congress-led UDF Government in Kerala has enforced 'dies non' (no work-no pay) order against the strike in government offices.

     Reports from across the state said in most places, the mobility of people was hit as the impact of the strike was near total in the transport sector with buses, taxis and auto rickshaws keeping off the road.

     Transport and banking services were hit in Punjab, Chandigarh and Haryana in the wake of the strike.

     Reports pouring from various places in the region said buses on several routes remained off the road in Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh even as officials were persuading employees not to join the strike.

     With major bank unions observing the strike, financial transactions came to a halt in all branches of public sector banks in the two states.

     However, banking services in private sector banks were not affected.

     Labour leaders have claimed that the strike is going to be a historic event and a stern warning against "anti-labour policies" of the UPA Government.

     The key demands of the unions include guarantee of labour rights, end to the contract labour system, bringing workers in the unorganised sector under the social security net and pension benefit for all workers.

     Besides the Left unions like CITU and AITUC and HMS, the pro-Congress INTUC and pro-BJP BMS are also supporting the strike.

2. Click the settings option, located on the right top corner

3. Click labs in Settings menu

4. scroll down in the labs menu

5. There is a provision as Undo Send( If you could not found this undo send option then use ctrl+f to find the undo send option)

6. Now select enable in Undo Send option

7. After that at last click save changes. That’s all

Now whenever you click the send option after composed a mail there is one pop up will be appeared "your message has been send. Undo. View message"

By clicking undo in few seconds we could prevent the mail to deliver to the recipient. As a result we could prevent the wrongly composed Gmails and partially composed Gmails.

Union Labour Minister’s Appeal to Trade Unions Union Labour Minister’s Appeal to Trade Unions

     Union Labour and Employment Minister Shri Mallikarjun Kharge has appealed to the major central trade Unions to desist from going on countrywide general strike on February 28,2012.The Minister has issued the following appeal here today:

     ‘ I am pained to learn that all major central trade unions have decided to observe a countrywide general strike on 28th february 2012 when the whole attention of the country is focussed on achieving high economic growth. It may be appreciated that the UPA Government has taken strong measures to contain price rise, as a result of which prices of commodities have decreased significantly in recent months. It is well-known that the interest of the common man is paramount for the UPA Government in all policy decisions, particularly relating to the weaker sections of society, farmers and working class. In pursuance to these avowed objectives the Ministry of Labour and employment has taken many radical steps to improve the lot of working class. Most of the issues relating to labour raised by the central trade unions have already been addressed to a substantial extent. However, i do assure all the central trade unions that i am always open to discussions on any of the issues relating to labour at any time and resolve the same amicably through consultations.

     There is no denying the fact that the proposed strike will not only cause colossal economic loss to the country but also bring hardship and inconvenience to the common man.

     In view of the above and in the interest of the country I would fervently appeal to all the central trade unions to desist from going on strike on 28th February 2012. “
