Cholesterol, from the Ancient Greekchole- (bile) and stereos (solid) followed by the chemicalsuffix-ol for an alcohol, is an organicmolecule. It is a sterol (or modifiedsteroid),[3] and an essential structural component of animal cell membranes that is required to establish proper membrane permeability and fluidity. Cholesterol is thus considered within the class of lipid molecules.
In addition to its importance within cells, cholesterol also serves as a precursor for the biosynthesis of steroid hormones, bile acids, and vitamin D.[4] Cholesterol is the principal sterol synthesized by animals; in vertebrates it is formed predominantly in the liver. It is almost completely absent among prokaryotes (i.e., bacteria), although there are some exceptions such as Mycoplasma, which require cholesterol for growth[citation needed].
François Poulletier de la Salle first identified cholesterol in solid form in gallstones in 1769. However, it was not until 1815 that chemist Michel Eugène Chevreul named the compound "cholesterine".
Science has spoiled us. Whether it's a new planet that seems a lot like Earth, wireless technology innovations or the cloning of extinct creatures, we have become accustomed to brilliant minds bringing us new wonders. It's hard to understand them, or even keep up. So we have decided to give you a sneak peek at the future. This way, you have time to wrap your head around the next big things, plus be the first to tell your friends. (Did we not mention our time machine before this?)
10.Socialmedium.
Let's give a big welcome to the newest element on the periodic table. The most unusual aspect of this soon-to-be discovered substance is that the atomic weight tends to fluctuate. Further study will reveal a completely self-absorbed element, with a tendency for electrons to be acquired and then unceremoniously dismissed for no good reason.
9. Cell phones do not cause brain cancer.
However, they will be shown to cause brain deterioration over time due to the added usage required for the thinking, speaking and general kvetching they make "necessary." It seems that ideas that were simply thought and dismissed in years past, are now fully formed into semi-coherent "brain blogs" and distributed via cell phone throughout one's circle of friends, whose brains are, in turn, further deteriorated by the process.
8. Yawning is contagious, and can kill.
Studies at the Van Winkle Institute will prove once and for all that the affliction that teenagers at family gatherings with cousins that are too young or too old for them have long tried to tell the world about … is real: A person can be bored to death.7. No one discovered America.
7.No one discovered America.
Carbon dating and other very complicated scientific processes will determine that it was always there.
6. The planet made entirely of milk chocolate.
Astronomers will be shocked at first, but soon come to realize that in an almost infinite universe every possibility will eventually be realized. The planet will be so far from Earth that it will be impractical to fill our milk chocolate needs there for at least 500 years. Federal authorities will investigate the possibility that chocolate manufacturers knew of this planet but kept it secret, citing chocolate products with names like "Milky Way" and "Mars."
5. Omegagool.
Science will finally discover the highest number. Long thought to be infinite, numbers apparentlydo have an end point. Noted algebra teacher Mr. Sigda will comment, "The concept of infinite numbers really was overly optimistic and kind of silly when you sit down and think about it."
4. Sticks, stones and names all hurt.
Psychologists and psychiatrists will agree with a discovery first uncovered by chiropractors: That some names can cause harm to people. Those names include, but are not limited to: Dummy, Stretch, Big Nose, Myrtle, Four-Eyes, Pinko and Bill.
3. The ancient Romans made up the existence of the ancient Greeks.
Scoffers at history as simply "the gossip of dead people" will be vindicated when archaelogists stop studying the sex pictures in the ruins of Pompey and uncover the entire hoax on a tablet hidden behind a depiction of bodily pleasures that Dr. Billy Tom Thomas calls, "disgusting and infinitely intriguing."
2. The coldest place on Earth.
Researchers will find three acres in Antarctica where a year-round temperature of minus 147 degrees Fahrenheit is maintained. They will name it "Bitterbitterbitterburg." It will be the fervent hope of scientists and genteel people worldwide that this location will one day replace any part of a witch's body when describing how cold it is outside.
1. Most animals will speak one day.
(We don't mean that they will all speak on the same day and never again.) The study will cost several billion dollars, but the findings will be startling. Over the next several hundred years, virtually every creature on Earth will develop language skills. Further study will reveal the following: Squirrels will speak Spanish very rapidly; dogs (and wolves) will speak English with an Irish accent; cats of every size will speak French; fish will speak German. For the full list of animal accents, please wait for the press release sometime in the near future.

Method Grate one hundred
grams of cottage cheese and cut the remaining into one-and-a-half- inch
cubes. Slice each cube into three layers without cutting through. In a
bowl, mix together the khoya, saffron and salt. In another bowl, mix
together the grated cottage cheese, chilli powder and salt. Take a
cottage cheese cube, spread the green chutney over the first layer, the
khoya mixture on the second layer and the cottage cheese mixture on the
third layer. Mix together the yogurt, gram flour, ginger-garlic paste,
fresh coriander, green chillies, white pepper powder and lemon juice in
a deep bowl. Add the stuffed cottage cheese cubes and mix gently so
that all the cubes are evenly coated with the marinade. Set aside for
about an hour. Thread the cottage cheese cubes a little apart onto
skewers and roast in a tandoor or over a charcoal grill over a moderate
heat for five to six minutes, basting them with melted butter once in
between. You can also cook them on a hot tawa. Serve hot with onion
rings and lemon wedges.
Women timeline in India................what about the rest??
The steady change in their position can be highlighted by looking at what has been achieved by women in the country:
1848: Jyotirao Phule, along with his wife Savitribai Phule, opened a school for girls in Pune, India. Savitribai Phule became the first women teacher in India.
1947: On 15 August 1947, following independence, Sarojini Naidu became the governor of the United Provinces, and in the process became India's first woman governor.
1951: Prem Mathur of the Deccan Airways becomes the first Indian women commercial pilot.
Rahul rana, coo,
payback India feels that impatience to make things happen immediately exposes
them to the risk of losing out on the opportunity to build on long lasting
relationships, and a lack of experience makes them judgmental a little too
early and too soon;
Access to
technology means knowledge is available at their fingertips, and this gives
them greater independence. Though this could be beneficial, it may also create
a retention issue for employers the constant use of technology can also have
damaging consequences for how they communicate at work’ avers bandyopadhyay.
NASA has sent a
solar powerednamed Grover designed for
ice exploration on the highest part of Greenland, s ice sheet .find out more…..
WHAT IS IT?
The
robot known as grover which stand for both Greenland rover and goddard remotely
operated vehicle for exploration and research , is six –foot –tall and weighs
about 800 pounds .it is powered entirely by solar energy, so that it can
operate in pristine polar environment without adding to air pollution .
HOW it works ?
the robot ‘s radar
sends radio wave pulsis into the ice sheet, and those waves are reflected back
from the icesheet’s buried features . the robot will roam the frigid landscape
collecting measurements to help scientist s better understand changes in the
massive ice sheet.
