आज के मॉर्डन युग में भी दुनिया के कई देशों के कुछ हिस्से अंधविश्वास से ऐसे घिरे हुए हैं कि कई मासूम इसकी भेंट चढ़ रही हैं। जवान और कुंआरी लड़की के साथ सेक्स करने पर एचआईवी एड्स जैसी गंभीर बीमारी खत्म हो सकती है। इस अंधविश्वास ने साउथ अफ्रीका के ग्रामीण ईस्टर्न केप इलाके में इन दिनों जोर पकड़ लिया है। इसी चक्कर में कई जवान लड़कियों का अपहरण किया जा रहा है और उन्हें एड्स मरीजों के साथ शादी करने के लिए मजबूर किया जा रहा है। कुछ ऐसे भी केस देखे गए कि इन मासूमों के साथ जबरन शादी के लिए किडनैपर्स इन मासूमों के माता-पिता को पैसे भी दे रहे हैं। साउथ अफ्रीका के जोशा इलाके में इस प्रथा को उखुतवाला नाम से जाना जाता है।
सामने आया साइबरवर्ल्ड का सबसे बड़ा वायरस
मास्को. एक ऐसे साइबर वायरस का पता चला है जो कंप्यूटर पर हमला करके उसे जासूस बना देता है और बिना पकड़ में आए तमाम जानकारियां चुरा लेता है। यह बेहद खतरनाक वायरस पिछले दो साल से साइबर स्पेस में मौजूद था लेकिन इसे हाल ही में पकड़ा गया है।
मीडिया रिपोर्टों के मुताबिक यह वायरस अब तक के सबसे चर्चित कंप्यूटर वायरस 'स्टक्सनेट' और 'डूकू' से भी खतरनाक है। इस वायरस को सबसे पहले मास्को स्थित केस्परस्काई लैब के सुरक्षा विशेषज्ञों ने पकड़ा है।
माना जा रहा है कि इस बेहद खतरनाक वायरस को किसी देश ने बनाया है। केस्परस्काई के विशेषज्ञ एलेक्सेंडर गोस्तोव ने अपने केस्परस्काई की वेबसाइट पर ब्लॉग पर लिखा, 'डूकू और स्टक्सनेट ने मिडिल इस्ट में चल रहे साइबर युद्ध को और भीषण कर दिया था लेकिन अब हमें साइबर स्पेस का सबसे खतरनाक वायरस मिला है।'

20 Most Venomous Fishes in the World
Not all fish are edible. There are fishes that are not suitable for human consumption. There are more venomous fish than venomous snakes. There are at least 1,200 species of venomous fish in the world but some venomous fish are also edible.
1. Antennata Lionfish (Pterois antennata)
The Antennata Lionfish is the first in our list. Look at her; she's really such a beauty to admire. This species of beautiful but venomous fish also known as the Ragged-finned Firefish or Spotfin Lionfish, has red, white, and black vertical stripes along the body; large, fan-like pectoral fins; and tall, quill-like dorsal fins. Lionfish in general are notable for their extremely long and separated spines, and have a generally striped appearance, red, brown, orange, yellow, black, maroon, or white. Lionfish have venomous spines that are deadly to their prey, but usually not to humans (though the venom is used purely for defense, not attack). If a human is envenomated, that person will experience severe pain and possible headaches and vomiting. A common treatment is soaking the afflicted area in hot water, as very few hospitals carry specific treat-ments. However, immediate emergency medical treatment is still advised, as some people may be more susceptible to the venom than others.

10 Weird Flags of the World
A country’s flag should be something that explains about the country’s customs, traditions or uniqueness. It is an important factor for the country and it should be taken seriously unlike some of the countries which use their flags as an art experiment
Here we have collected 10 weird flags of the world. They had no time to think of something creative for their poor country flags.
Libya
Like seriously? Even I could’ve made Libya’s flag because all I had to do was go to the paint in windows XP and paint the background green -_- . The flag was used between 1977 – 2011. It has been changed now THANKGOD.
