The electric eel is a very effective predator, despite its poor vision. It has an excellent sense of hearing, however, and also a Sachs organ, which has been linked to electrolocation. This organ, which is the third and smallest of the eels electric organs, emits a low voltage charge of about 10 V. It is thought that the eel uses these weak charges for orientation, as well as locating prey and potential mates. Some scientists feel it is also used in a rudimentary form of communication.

  

 

The more powerful electrical charges come from the Hunters Organ and the Main Organ. All of the organs together are comprised of some five to six thousand electroplaques that are stacked in a manner similar to the common battery. When the eel becomes upset or is preparing to attack a prey animal, its brain signals the electric cells in these organs. An ion channel is opened and positively charged sodium flows into the organs, reversing the charge for a moment. The product of this sudden shift or disturbance in voltage creates an electric current. Eels can produce a shock typically as powerful as 650 V but have been known to emit bursts over 700 V. These are the shocks issued during predation and defense. In total, the three electric organs make up 80% of the electric animal's body, with the vital organs comprising the other 20%.

Eels prey upon a range of smaller creatures. Eels have no maxilla teeth, but have the luxury of taking their time while consuming a stunned animal. They prey upon mammals and fish, sometimes also taking an inveterbrate if an easy opportunity presents itself. The younglings will eat invertebrates, primarily crabs and freshwater shrimp. Newly hatched eels will also consume the eggs and embryos from later batches. Eggs are laid in a nest made of the male’s saliva. As many as 17,000 eggs are laid in a single clutch.

15. Elizabeth Bennett and Darcy

Actually Jane Austen has personified two attributes of human nature, pride and prejudice in Darcy and Elizabeth. Darcy comes from a very high social hierarchy and Pemberley. He typifies the educated aristocracy while on the other hand, Elizabeth is the second daughter of a gentleman of modest means. Mr. Bennett has five daughters who have been allowed to grow up the way they wanted, there has been no school education for them, nor has there been any governess at home. Elizabeth’s very indulgent mother and irresponsible father never gave any thought to the future of the daughters, it is always taken for granted, that they will do well for themselves. To a woman of Mrs. Bennett's understanding, doing well exclusively means finding a rich, well to do husband. For a man of Darcy's social stature, these were very serious failings of the family and totally unacceptable to his polished, educated and refined mind. Darcy adores Pemberley, and the future mistress of that estate can only be just as polished and refined and from an equally prestigious family. He falls in love with Elizabeth only to be refused by her initially, and then much later she realized that she can love no one but Darcy. How they become united and understand the love for each other makes very interesting study.

Having your wallet get lost or stolen is certainly a distressing event. Following several precautions as a general rule in case of loss or theft can help to minimize the damages in case this unpleasant event happens to you. If you do lose your wallet, you should also take quick action so that you'll suffer fewer repercussions.

Cancel Your Credit Cards
To minimize thieves' opportunities to use your cards and rack up charges, you'll want to be particularly proactive when it comes to canceling your credit cards. Even though you may not be required to pay fraudulent charges that are made with your cards, you do have a responsibility to report the cards missing or stolen as soon as you realize that they're gone. Call the phone numbers for all of your credit card providers and report it to them. Remember to call the providers of your retail credit cards as well as your major credit card providers.

Report It to the Police
If you do find that fraudulent charges have been made on your card, you will definitely want to call the police immediately. Fraud is a criminal offense, and the police can take steps to intervene if someone is currently attempting to commit fraud with the use of your credit cards and personal information. Reporting the missing wallet to police is also wise in case your wallet happens to be turned in by an honest citizen. Be sure to get a copy of the police report as well. You may need the police file number when reporting the incident to other agencies.

Contact Your Bank and Insurance Companies
You definitely want to let any financial institutions and insurance companies you deal with know that your wallet's been stolen and that your personal information has been compromised. Your bank can note the incident on your account and help you to close any accounts that have been affected. You should monitor your bank accounts closely in the weeks and months that follow to ensure that your accounts are not being used without your knowledge. Also, you will need to change your PIN as soon as possible if the thief has somehow obtained it. Your insurance company may also provide some kind of protection against identity theft, so you should alert them to the incident as well.

Contact the Credit Bureaus
It is especially important to contact the credit bureaus if your credit information or your Social Security card was in your wallet, because you don't want to be the victim of identity theft. Thieves can use this information to obtain new credit cards in your name, thus damaging your credit rating in the process. The primary credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and Transunion) can place restrictions on your credit record so that if anyone attempts to apply for credit using your information, the creditor will have to contact you first to verify that it is you who is making the application.

Replace Your Identification
Since most people tend to keep their driver's license, health insurance information and a variety of other forms of identification in their wallets, you'll need to obtain new copies of all these documents. Report the loss of your driver's license to the Department of Motor Vehicles and obtain a new card. If you have any other forms of identification that were present in your wallet you'll need to obtain new copies of these documents as well. Government documents typically require you to go through a formal application process where you will have to provide proof of identity. The type of identity required depends upon the type of document you'll be replacing, so you should check with your state's guidelines on this. For this reason, it's a good idea not to carry all forms of identification in your wallet at the same time.

Take Stock of the Contents
Write a list of everything that was in your wallet. You probably have a number of store loyalty cards, membership cards and rewards cards. You can contact these card providers and ask them to issue new cards or membership numbers so that whoever has your wallet can't use them. Keep in mind that some cards may operate similarly to a credit card - such as a library card. Someone who obtains your wallet illegally can use your library card to borrow items from the library under your name, which you'll later be responsible for.

Before You Ever Leave Home
There are a number of things you should do before you ever leave home in order to ensure that if your wallet is lost or stolen that the process will be much less of an inconvenience. First and foremost, remove all unnecessary identification and store it in a safe place. Don't carry your Social Security card with you. This card makes it far too easy for dishonest people to take advantage of you. Also, remove any store credit cards that you rarely use. This way you won't have to report as many missing cards. You should also make detailed lists of the items you typically carry in your wallet, including card numbers and phone numbers to call should your card go missing. Making photocopies of cards and identification can make quick work of this process. Just bear in mind that you'll need to store copies of this information somewhere secure as well.

Billionaire Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg married his girlfriend of nine years in a surprise ceremony held at their California home this weekend. 

For a man who has made billions from encouraging the world to share, it was a very private event. The ceremony was so secret that even the guests did not know they would be attending a wedding.

They turned up at Zuckerberg’s £4.5million home in Palo Alto, California, thinking they were there to celebrate Priscilla Chan’s graduation from her degree in paediatrics.

According to a Karnataka’s Large and Medium Industries Minister Murugesh Nirani, a detailed project report for the proposed high-speed bullet train from Chennai to Mysore via Bangalore will be ready by December.

 

The project would cost approximately Rs. 150 crore per kilometer, The Hindu reported earlier this month. The train, which will have a maximum speed of 350 kmph could connect Mysore from Bangalore in less than 30 minutes, the daily added.

 However, it is not clear which Japanese companies were interested in taking up the train project, its estimated cost, the State Government’s role in it and other details.
Official sources said the plan was still in its preliminary stage. JETRO, sources said, has already conducted a survey and found the Chennai-Mysore route very viable for investment.

The Union government is seriously considering developing the Chennai-Mumbai industrial corridor on the lines of the Mumbai-Delhi industrial corridor.

Moreover, Japanese car manufacturing companies Hyundai and Toyota already have their units in Chennai and Bidadi near Bangalore. Toyota has plans to set up another unit in Mysore. This will throw up lucrative business propositions as far as freight service is concerned, sources said.

The grand finale of the 17th edition of Miss Nepal 2012 pageant was held in Hotel de l'Annapurna in the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu. Stood up confident among the 16 contestants was Shristi Shrestha of Chitwan who was crowned Miss Nepal 2012. Shristi is 23 years old, stands 172.5 cm, and has  a 33-24-34 vital statistics. She is a second year BSC Nursing student and will represent her country in Miss World 2012 pageant in Ordos, Inner Mongolia on August 18. Subeksha Khadka was crowned Miss Nepal International and Nagma Shrestha as Miss Nepal Earth and will represent Nepal in this year's Miss International and Miss Earth pageants

The uncertainties brought about by the eerie silence from the Miss Universe Organization are spawning the growth of rumors here and there. Last year, at the same time by now, we are already booking our tickets to Sao Paulo. But here we are with nothing but a memo to National Directors to prepare their delegates for a Christmas Season travel. The rescheduling of the usual Miss Universe season also destroyed the usual cycle of National Pageants. All of these will bring one thing - "death" by boredom for Miss Universe fans. To "save lives" we are tickling the excitement of MU fans, us included, by updating them constantly on what to expect at Miss Universe 2012.

First, expect a strong Puerto Rican in the name of Bodine Koehler. She will be fierce and will win a lot of hearts. Transformation is the name of the game for Miss Korea Lee Sung-hye and Miss Venezuela Irene Esser. Expect them to metamorphose further as the MU date nears. Miss Colombia Daniella Alvarez is being underestimated but she will be joining the transformation game soon. Miss Ecaudor Carolina Aguirre, Miss France Delphine Wespiser, Miss South Africa Melinda Bam and Miss Czech Republic Tereza Chlebovská will be relying more on their natural strengths.

Miss Spain Andrea Huisgen and Miss Gabon Marie-Noelle Ada will be in good fighting form thanks for their elegance. Miss Israel Lina Machola and Miss Japan Ayako Hara will have to look back to the golden years of their respective countries. They need to reverse their countries' fortunes at Miss Universe. 

Miss Malaysia Kimberly Leggett, Miss Poland Marcelina Zawadzka and Miss Indonesia Maria Selena are women representing the countries that has been ignored by Miss Universe. These countries have sent great candidates but because they are not the usual countries that turn heads, they were generally sidelined. Hope that this year, they can break the barriers.

As you can see Mexico and newly crowned Croatia are both out. It seems that these two countries have a tough sash to sell and they need to be really outstanding to overcome this factor. To those who doubt that this is the case for Mexico please ask the following: Letty Murray Acedo, Karla Carillo and Karin Ontiveros.

What is Rave Party?
There are two forms of rave parties - One is moderate and somewhat is similar to a standard disco - There is music, dance, good food, DJ's, live bands and possibly alcohol. These parties happen within all legal limits.

The second is the extreme version and when people talk about a "rave party" this is what they usually refer to. In addition to music, dance, DJ's, participants of this party often use of banned/addictive drugs, do excessive boozing and even sex. The biggest illegal problem in these parties is the usage of drugs which is illegal by law. Drugs and alcohol are often mixed for a solid kick. It is not easy to find about a rave party, it is like behind the doors activity. Either a phone number is circulated by word of mouth, SMS or through the internet. Although rave parties are becoming common, only a few get reported or result in a police action. 

Combination of drugs and alcohol can not only damage central nervous system in certain cases, there is a risk of getting addicted to these drugs. Kissing is common, girls particularly can be a sexual victim in these parties because intoxication can easily take senses away. If an individual is caught in a rave part and exposed to media, there can be severe legal consciences and also the fear of shame in society to both the individual and his/her parents.

Why are Rave Parties becoming so popular in India?
Money is flowing in India like crazy, never before the youth ever had so much money in hand. Rave parties will often have grown up kids of rich industrialists, IT sector employees, beautiful girls, models, air-hostesses and others people for whom money os not a factor. People often use glowsticks and make designs while dancing. Rave parties are extremely popular during Christmas and New Year. There have been times when even foreigners (like Britain, Israel, Japan, France) have been caught or spotted in these rave parties. These parties are a combination of drugs and a thrilling experience. Not everyone who participates in a rave party consumes drugs, many just come for a first time experience and only eat regular food, some individuals just dance and consume only light alcohol. But if a police raid happens, everyone gets into trouble.

Where's does the rave party take place?
From one of the news references mentioned below, Rave parties are increasingly being shifted to smaller towns because police in big cities are becomming increasingly strict. These take place in farmhouses our in secluded areas outside the main city. Price of drugs is quite high in these parties when compared to the price at which they are available outside.

Who makes Money?
The people who make money in these rave parties are the organizers and the drug dealers.

Popular drugs used in Rave parties include
Ecstasy, Cocaine, LSD(Lysergic Acid Diethylamide), mountain weed, hashish or ganja. They are often taken in combination with alcohol.

Its Illegal - Never attend a rave party
Sometimes police will directly raid these parties and other times they enter the party in plain clothes by purchasing tickets and then catch the individuals red handed. People who are found in the Rave Party are often booked under Section 27 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act of 1985 and Section 294 of the Indian Penal Code. Blood samples are taken to confirm the consumption of drugs. Even if you want to explore what a rave party is, make sure that you fully understand that if you are caught, there will can very serious legal consequences.

We tend to think of chocolate as a sweet candy created during modern times. But actually, chocolate dates back to the ancient peoples of Mesoamerica who drank chocolate as a bitter beverage.

For these people, chocolate wasn’t just a favorite food—it also played an important role in their religious and social lives.

The ancient Maya grew cacao and made it into a beverage.

The first people clearly known to have discovered the secret of cacao were the Classic Period Maya (250-900 C.E. [A.D.]). The Maya and their ancestors in Mesoamerica took the tree from the rainforest and grew it in their own backyards, where they harvested, fermented, roasted, and ground the seeds into a paste.

When mixed with water, chile peppers, cornmeal, and other ingredients, this paste made a frothy, spicy chocolate drink.

The Aztecs adopted cacao.
By 1400, the Aztec empire dominated a sizeable segment of Mesoamerica. The Aztecs traded with Maya and other peoples for cacao and often required that citizens and conquered peoples pay their tribute in cacao seeds—a form of Aztec money.

Like the earlier Maya, the Aztecs also consumed their bitter chocolate drink seasoned with spices—sugar was an agricultural product unavailable to the ancient Mesoamericans.

Drinking chocolate was an important part of Maya and Aztec life.
Many people in Classic Period Maya society could drink chocolate at least on occasion, although it was a particularly favored beverage for royalty. But in Aztec society, primarily rulers, priests, decorated soldiers, and honored merchants could partake of this sacred brew.

Chocolate also played a special role in both Maya and Aztec royal and religious events. Priests presented cacao seeds as offerings to the gods and served chocolate drinks during sacred ceremonies.

You don't have to acquire a taste for olive oil, seaweed or soya to maintain a low-fat, healthy diet. Indian cuisine can be healthy too, if it's cooked with oil and ingredients that take care of your heart and health. Ayurveda suggests you include all tastes — sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent — in at least one meal each day, to help balance unnatural cravings. Here are 12 foods that can help you lose weight and gain health:

Turmeric : Curcumin, the active component of turmeric, is an object of research owing to its properties that suggest they may help to turn off certain genes that cause scarring and enlargement of the heart. Regular intake may help reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol and high blood pressure, increase blood circulation and prevent blood clotting, helping to prevent heart attack.

Cardamom : This is a thermogenic herb that increases metabolism and helps burn body fat. Cardamom is considered one of the best digestive aids and is believed to soothe the digestive system and help the body process other foods more efficiently.

Chillies : Foods containing chillies are said to be as foods that burn fat. Chillies contain capsaicin that helps in increasing the metabolism. Capsaicin is a thermogenic food, so it causes the body to burn calories for 20 minutes after you eat the chillies.

Curry leaves : Incorporating curry leaves into your daily diet can help you lose weight. These leaves flush out fat and toxins, reducing fat deposits that are stored in the body, as well as reducing bad cholesterol levels. If you are overweight, incorporate eight to 10 curry leaves into your diet daily. Chop them finely and mix them into a drink, or sprinkle them over a meal.

Garlic : An effective fat-burning food, garlic contains the sulphur compound allicin which has anti-bacterial effects and helps reduce cholesterol and unhealthy fats.

Mustard oil : This has low saturated fat compared to other cooking oils. It has fatty acid, oleic acid, erucic acid and linoleic acid. It contains antioxidants, essential vitamins and reduces cholesterol, which is good for the heart.

Cabbage : Raw or cooked cabbage inhibits the conversion of sugar and other carbohydrates into fat. Hence, it is of great value in weight reduction.

Moong dal : The bean sprouts are rich in Vitamin A, B, C and E and many minerals, such as calcium, iron and potassium. It is recommended as a food replacement in many slimming programmes, as it has a very low fat content. It is a rich source of protein and fibre, which helps lower blood cholesterol level. The high fibre content yields complex carbohydrates, which aid digestion, are effective in stabilising blood sugar and prevent its rapid rise after meal consumption.

Honey : It is a home remedy for obesity. It mobilises the extra fat deposits in the body allowing it to be utilised as energy for normal functions. One should start with about 10 grams or a tablespoon, taken with hot water early in the morning.

Buttermilk : It is the somewhat sour, residual fluid that is left after butter is churned. The probiotic food contains just 2.2 grams of fat and about 99 calories, as compared to whole milk that contains 8.9 grams fat and 157 calories. Regular intake provides the body with all essential nutrients and does not add fats and calories to the body. It is thus helpful in weight loss.

Millets : Fibre-rich foods such as millets - jowar, bajra, ragi, etc - absorb cholesterol and help increase the secretion of the bile that emulsifies fats.

Cinnamon and cloves: Used extensively in Indian cooking, the spices have been found to improve the function of insulin and to lower glucose, total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides in people with type 2 diabetes.
