How often have you heard that story, or been tempted to tell it yourself? One of the many risks of trading Forex is something called slippage. No, it's not your broker cheating you (well, that's up for debate, but seriously, don't make excuses for your lost trades). It's something you need to be aware of and compensate for during your trades.
What is slippage in Forex? Slippage is when you place an order at a quoted price, and your order gets filled at a different (worse) price than the one you were quoted. Slippage can be minor enough not to impact your trade outcome at all, or it can be major enough to stop you out the moment you've entered the trade! You can lose a lot of money through slippage, so it's something to be wary of and to avoid if at all possible.
Why is there slippage in Forex? Slippage tends to result during times of great volatility, and also in response to fundamental events like reports being filed, etc. Slippage almost always happens when the market opens each weekend on Sunday nights! If you stay in a trade over a weekend, be very wary. Sunday nights are unpredictable—in general this is not a good day to trade.
If you do place a Forex trade which you're going to hold over the weekend, or set up for a trade on the weekend which might get triggered when the market opens again, compensate for that potential slippage. Place entries a little farther out than you usually would (testing will help you choose a good amount of buffer to leave). You may also want to move your stops out a little farther than usual too if you are already in a trade.
Do some Forex brokers deliberately make money through slippage? Probably, but slippage is a fact of life, even with good Forex brokers. It's best to learn to deal with it than to complain and blame someone else for your failure. There are bad brokers out there though, so if you're concerned you might have one, look up their ratings and find out about other traders' experiences.
On a related note, you can set up most broker platforms to show you the spread. This should help you to understand spread and slippage better and thus make better trading decisions. Spread widens and shrinks in different market conditions—during volatile ones it tends to widen (which is how slippage usually occurs). By setting your charts to show this spread, you'll be able to visually see the days of the week and the times at which the spreads widen the most. Then you can compensate in the future by following the previous suggestions to avoid slippage in Forex outright or work around it.
Understanding Fibonacci
Learn to apply Fibonacci ratios to calculate price targets in stocks
October 06, 2011
By Elliott Wave InternationalThe Fibonacci ratio can be an invaluable tool for calculating price retracements and projections in your analysis and trading. This excerpt from The Best Technical Indicators for Successful Trading explains the origins of the Fibonacci sequence and how you can apply it to the markets.
You can read the entire Fibonacci section -- plus 7 more lessons on how to use technical indicators to improve your trading for FREE -- see below.
Leonardo Fibonacci da Pisa was a thirteenth-century mathematician who posed a question: How many pairs of rabbits placed in an enclosed area can be produced in a single year from one pair of rabbits, if each gives birth to a new pair each month starting with the second month? The answer: 144.See charts that show the application of Fibonacci ratios, plus 7 other lessons on technical indicators, by accessing your free report now.
The genius of this simple little question is not found in the answer, but in the pattern of numbers that leads to the answer: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, and 144. This sequence of numbers represents the propagation of rabbits during the 12-month period and is referred to as the Fibonacci sequence.
The ratio between consecutive numbers in this set approaches the popular .618 and 1.618, the Fibonacci ratio and its inverse. (Relating non-consecutive numbers in the set yields other popular ratios - .146, .236, .382, .618, 1.000, 1.618, 2.618, 4.236, 6.854....)
...In addition to recognizing that the stock market undulates in repetitive patterns, R. N. Elliott also realized the importance of the Fibonacci ratio. In Elliott's final book, Nature's Law, he specifically referred to the Fibonacci sequence as the mathematical basis for the Wave Principle. Thanks to his discoveries, we use the Fibonacci ratio in calculating wave retracements and projections today.
How to Identify Fibonacci Retracements
The primary Fibonacci ratios that I use in identifying wave retracements are .236, .382, .500, .618 and .786. Some of you might say that .500 and .786 are not Fibonacci ratios; well, it's all in the math. If you divide the second month of Leonardo's rabbit example by the third month, the answer is .500, 1 divided by 2; .786 is simply the square root of .618.
There are many different Fibonacci ratios used to determine retracement levels. The most common are .382 and .618. However, .472, .764 and .707 are also popular choices. The decision to use a certain level is a personal choice. What you continue to use will be determined by the markets.
...It's worth noting that Fibonacci retracements can be used on any time frame to identify potential reversal points. An important aspect to remember is that a Fibonacci retracement of a previous wave on a weekly chart is more significant than what you would find on a 60-minute chart.
On a Forex backtest spreadsheet you will want about six columns. The first will state whether each trade was a buy or a sell. The second column should list the date, and the third column the reason for the trade. The fourth and fifth columns should be the entry and exit prices respectively. The last column will be the sum of pips you gained or lost from each trade. The column where you list the reason you entered the trade can be a good place to take specific notes along with the triggers which caused you to enter. Those notes will come in handy later, so be detailed, especially on trades you lose. Later you can look back and find patterns which will help you to refine and eliminate losses.
Write your Forex trading rules at the top of your spreadsheet. They will help you focus and also remind you of what your rules were on this backtest when you look back on it later. If you make changes as you go to your system, note those changes and the historical dates on which you implemented them.
Some statistics to calculate from your data, which will be useful to you, include net pips from your entire Forex backtest, along with the values of your average win and average loss. You'll want to tally how many wins and losses you have, and what your win percentage and win to loss ratio is. Remember that the spread will cost you some profit on every trade, and breakeven trades are technically at a very small loss as a result. You can calculate an adjusted net which takes these losses into account. Take note of your biggest losing streak, and how many losses in a row you endured. Also find out your average net winning trades per month, week, day, or whatever is an appropriate unit of time for you to overview your trading. Another good quotient to add up is your net profit divided by your maximum loss. This will tell you how many of your largest losses you could endure before blowing all your profits.
Forex backtesting can be pretty overwhelming at first, but eventually you'll get used to it and get into a rhythm. And it can be incredibly rewarding—it can make the difference between whether you blow your account in real life or become a profitable trader.
For many people, trading overnight is just a given since position traders who trade longer term charts like weeklies are going to be in trades for many days on end. These timeframes move slowly though and are easier to keep an eye on during the daytime than other trades on faster timeframes. What if you trade the dailies or hourly charts? You could be stuck making critical trading decisions in the dead of night.
Unfortunately many FX traders arrive at the solution, "I'll just not sleep." This is the road to disaster though. You cannot function without sleep. You need sleep to be healthy and also to keep your mind sharp and fresh. Trading on a sleep deficit is like trading inebriated. It's just a really bad idea; it'll destroy your health and your finances. So you have to sleep. How do you balance sleep with currency trading at night?
The trick is to set up alerts in such a manner that you can maximize your rest, minimize the complexity of your decision-making process, and maximize your returns. You want to only have your alerts wake you up at critical junctures, and you want those junctures to be clear cut. Making difficult, complex decisions in the dead of night will rob you of sleep and also harm your judgment, resulting in losses. The alerts should wake you up in order to make simple, straightforward decisions.
One technique you can use to trade during the night is to set alerts at pivot zones. Different techniques will be appropriate for different Forex systems, but if for example you exit trades partially based on support and resistance, then you will want to identify important pivot areas and set alerts in those areas. Choose a sound to signal when a trade is moving toward profit and another sound to signal when it is moving away. That way if you hear the "good" sound in your sleep you can roll over and go back to sleep (or get up and trail your stop). If you hear the "bad" sound you can get up and choose whether to exit. By letting the sound itself give you information, you can optimize your sleep. Also make sure to have the alert beep at you more than once so you don't miss it in your sleep the first time.
Trading the foreign exchange market at night is one of the most challenging real life integrations you can do, but with some tweaking you should be able to make it work for you. You don't have to move to another country or quit your job to trade during the day if you can learn how to trade at night and get adequate sleep!
Have you backtested a fantastic system over hundreds or even thousands of trades, and achieved a high win percentage and otherwise excellent statistics? If so, you may be tempted to go live. Some traders struggle to bring themselves to actually take their Forex systems live, but for others it is impatience and not trepidation which is the enemy. If you are thinking of taking this great system which you've backtested live without demo testing, think again. Backtesting and trading in real life are completely different, and you may have quite a bit of work ahead of you to achieve the same kind of results in real time as you did backtesting.
The first thing a lot of us discover while demo testing is that we completely forgot that in real life we do stuff like work, eat, and sleep. Something which worked fine in backtesting may be impossible to fit into our real life schedules, or take some very serious workarounds. You may need to learn to trade using a cell phone if you are at work during trading hours for example. Or what if your Forex trades tend to fall in the dead of night? You'll need to trade in your sleep, and that means setting a lot of price alerts. Those alerts will have to wake you up at useful times though, and even figuring that out can be like designing an entirely new system. The wrong system of alerts can cause you to lose the same trades you'd have won while demo testing!
Another difference you'll discover quickly is the role which time plays in your trading psychology. When you move the Forex charts forward a candle at a time and make trading decisions in a few seconds or minutes while backtesting, you don't have a lot of time to second guess yourself. The same trades though, spread out over a time period of hours, days, or even weeks, can cause a lot of traders to experience a wide range of conflicting emotions. Many times we ask ourselves "What decision would I have made backtesting?" only to discover that we don't know anymore! It takes a lot of practice to find out how timing is impacting your trading. You may find you need to trade on a different timeframe, or just get a grip on your emotions.
While all this may again sound simple in theory, most traders discover Forex demo testing presents a lot of unexpected situations which need resolution before they can go live. We highly recommend that you demo test until you are profitable for at least 2-4 consecutive months before you go live with your system. There is no reason for you to lose a dime in this business unnecessarily since you can demo test for as long as it takes for you to master your trading, completely free! Your drawdown live should reflect your backtesting figures, but it won't unless you invest some time and effort demo testing and finding out how to integrate trading into your real life first.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/1/2012 (2011 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The eastern half of what used to be Pakistan narrowly escaped a military coup last month. Brigadier Masud Razzak, the spokesman of the Bangladeshi army, announced on Jan. 19 that "a band of fanatic officers has been trying to oust the politically established government. Their attempt has been foiled."
They had "extreme religious views," he said, and revealed that some of the 16 conspirators, all of them current or former military officers, will soon appear before a military court. For a country with a dismal history of military coups, some of them very violent, it was a heartening outcome. But it was also a reminder of where the real danger lies in the subcontinent.
If the country called Pakistan that got its independence from Britain in 1947 were still a single state, it would be the fourth-biggest nation on the planet, with more than 300 million people. Its two halves, however, were separated by 1,500 kilometres of Indian territory and had little in common apart from having Muslim majorities. That Pakistan lasted only 24 years and broke apart amid much bloodshed in 1971.
Since then, the two successor states have taken different paths. Bangladesh has no major disputes with its giant Indian neighbour and spends relatively little on its military. The part that is still called Pakistan, on the other side of India, has a huge territorial dispute with India over Kashmir, a history of wars with its neighbour and very serious armed forces. It also has a history of coups. And Islamist fanatics in the officer corps. And nuclear weapons.
There are reasons to hope the worst days are past in both countries. The military relinquished supreme power in Bangladesh 20 years ago and the country is a functioning (but very turbulent) democracy. Pakistan also has a democratic government now -- the army officially left power in 2001, although a general went on running the government until 2008 -- but the military still overshadows it.
But it is not generals seizing power in Pakistan that worries foreign governments. It is the fear that middle-ranking Islamist fanatics in the army might stage a successful coup and get their hands on those nuclear weapons. They would be people quite similar in their beliefs to the officers whose coup has just been foiled in Bangladesh -- but Bangladesh doesn't have nuclear weapons.
A coup by Islamist officers in Bangladesh would be seen by most foreigners as deeply regrettable but mostly of only local interest. A coup by Islamist officers in Pakistan would unleash the mother of all panics.
An Indian strategist once told me, off the record, what he thought would happen about six hours after news of an Islamist coup in Pakistan reached the rest of the world.
There would be a huge "traffic jam" over Kahuta and other major Pakistani nuclear weapons facilities as the Indian, Iranian, American and Israeli air forces all tried to keep the nuclear weapons out of the hands of the fanatics by destroying them.
It wouldn't succeed, because Pakistan already has more than 50 nuclear weapons and keeps them dispersed precisely to thwart that kind of attack. The Israeli air force couldn't really reach Pakistan (although Pakistan has missiles that could reach Israel). A few other details in the strategist's scenario also ring false -- but it is basically credible.
So how likely is an Islamist military coup in Pakistan? About as likely as it is in Bangladesh, which is to say unlikely, but not unimaginable. In this one thing the two armies are alike -- and quite different from those of most other Muslim countries.
In almost all other Muslim countries, the armies take great care to ensure Islamist officers do not rise very high in rank. They might make captain, but they won't make colonel. This is because the generals know they can't be trusted. The generals themselves are mostly faithful Muslims, but they must protect the integrity of the military institution they serve, and that means no Islamists in positions of real power.
Islamists, by definition, cannot give their full loyalty to the army or state. Ultimately, they serve an imagined Islamic caliphate that would sweep away even the country they are supposed to serve. Their lesser loyalties are purely tactical and transitory. So the armies have never let them near real power -- except in Pakistan and Bangladesh.
In both cases, this anomaly was created by military dictators who made pragmatic alliances with religious extremists as part of their strategy for holding onto power. Gen. Zia ul-Haq in Pakistan and Gen. Ziaur Rahman in Bangladesh allowed Islamists to be promoted into the higher ranks in their respective armies, and although they are now long gone, that policy continues, especially in Pakistan.
All previous military interventions in politics in Pakistan have been done by the army as an institution, acting in obedience to its lawful commanders. That kind of thing would not radically change Pakistan's policies toward the rest of the world. But if middle-ranking Islamist officers were to break the chain of command and seize power like their comrades in Bangladesh intended to do, then all bets would be off.

I expected to read some nice things about the perfomance of all of the Sequoia schools. Instead, the writer's slant in favor of Everest and Summit is noticeable. Instead of saying positive things about the traditional Sequoia high schools' performance, Boyce manages to quote Tavenner repeatedly about why she thinks these two charters are better. You are comparing apples and oranges! How do you expect some of the kids who barely speak English or have learning disabilities to take AP classes, for example? Charter proponents like Boyce and Tavenner have repeatedly criticized the SUHSD for their anti-charter rhetoric. Maybe now it is the time for them to adopt a more positive tone toward traditional high schools?

I think the fact that Summit placed in the top 100 high schools and the other Sequoia district schools placed quite a bit lower, by several hundred, makes it ok to pay attention to it. Had the district not given Diane Taenner and her vision nothing but opposition, they would have bragging rights. Unfortunately, they have no right to take any credit whatsoever. Diane Tavenner is a progressive educator and her school works.

Limited Edition The Last of Us and Destiny PlayStation 4 Consoles Coming to Japan
Man, Japan's really getting a lot of cool limited edition PlayStation 4 consoles. First there was the Frozen model and now we have The Last of Us and Destiny models coming.
According to VG247, Sony Japan is pumping out some more limited edition PlayStation 4 models that feature art from The Last of Us and Destiny etched into the HDD bay covers.
The Last of Us model will come with the game and runs for 47,980 yen ($473 USD), and comes in black, with Joel and Ellie's faces etched on the left side of the HDD bay cover, complete with the game's logo. It's got a sleek, noir look that kind of fits with the game's somber tone and bleak aesthetics.
The Destiny model, by contrast, comes in white with the Destiny logo etched across the HDD bay cover. This design gives the PlayStation 4 a more futuristic look, which is in line with the game's concept. This model also comes with a copy of the game and sells for 46,980 yen ($463 USD).
Peep the photos below and let us know which one appeals to you!

The pomegranate plant form is that of a small deciduous tree or large shrub, growing up to 25 feet tall. Pomegranates are multi-stemmed unless pruned to a single trunk. Originally grown for their fruit, they are also known for the beautiful flowers that can occur for several months in the spring and early summer. Most commonly, they are red-orange, but white, pink, and variegated flowers may also be found. Double-flowering types have blossoms that are carnation-like. Pomegranates are also useful for large hedges. Their foliage is shiny and dark green, and the stems are somewhat thorny.
Native to Arabia, Persia, Bengal, China, and Japan, pomegranates are sometimes hardy as far north as Washington, D.C., but are best adapted to the Deep South, where they have escaped cultivation in the Gulf Coast states.
Pliny considered pomegranates to be among the most valuable of ornamental and medicinal plants. Theophrastus provided an early description about 300 years before the Christian era. Many legends concerning the pomegranate have been handed down by Asian people. The many seeds are supposed to be a symbol of fertility. Legend also says that the pomegranate was the 'tree of life' in the Garden of Eden, and from this belief it became the symbol of hope and eternal life in early Christian art. The erect calyx-lobes of the fruit were the inspiration for Solomon's crown and for all future crowns.
Pomegranates were often found in nineteenth century Southern gardens and nurseries. In his Southern Rural Almanac, and Plantation and Garden Calendar for 1860, Thomas Affleck listed them in his Washington County, Texas nursery, and said, "The pomegranate grows, thrives, and bears most admirably."
For a period in the early 1900s, pomegranates were grown in commercial quantities in the U.S., but consumers have never really developed an appreciation of the pomegranate fruit. One of the few varieties still available is 'Wonderful', which, if picked and aged at room temperature for a month or two, will develop the rich, sweet taste characteristic of better-quality fruit varieties.
Although of very easy culture, pomegranates prefer a sunny location and deep soil. They thrive in acid or alkaline soils, and tolerate heavy clay as long as there is sufficient drainage. Many forms exist, and not all fruit well. Generally, double-flowering types provide little, if any, fruit. Mature specimens withstand drought well, but fruit often splits after rainy spells following extended dryness. Dormant hardwood cuttings root well (as do softwood cuttings) under mist in the summer.
In addition to eating fresh (it is very seedy), the fruit may be used in the preparation of syrups (especially grenadine), alcoholic beverages, and jellies. Plants of the dwarf and large-growing forms are sometimes available in the southern half of Texas. Plants tend to be long lived, but occasionally they freeze back to the ground. Interesting trials with pomegranates from Iran and Russia are being conducted in the Houston area by fruit specialists who believe that some of the plants may have superior fruiting, growth, and hardiness characteristics.

FCAT Snafu Affects Thousands In Broward And Miami-Dade
FCAT testing resumes in Florida after a nightmare Tuesday.
Computer glitches stopped testing for thousands of students who couldn't log into their computers to take the test or who received error messages upon completion.
In Miami-Dade, a very frustrated Superintendent Alberto Carvalho says this creates an uneven playing field that will impact results.
Broward's Superintendent Robert Runcie says it remains to be seen how this affects outcomes.
The private company administering the tests blames a 3rd party service provider for the snafu.

Members of the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division, recognized as the Bastogne Brigade, will embark in November on its fifth deployment since Sept. 11, 2001, and the brigades commander, Col. J.P. McGee and soldiers under his command will give local residents a special briefing on their mission in Afghanistan.
Brigade Public Affairs Officer Maj. Michael McCullough said the briefing to be held at Cumberland University on Tuesday, Oct. 16, will give Wilson County residents the chance to get to know the 1st Brigade and learn about their upcoming deployment.
We have a mission to reach out to communities and reach out to people who dont see soldiers on a regular basis, McCullough said.
The 101st Airborne Division is based in Fort Campbell, Ky., and more than 20,000 soldiers are stationed there.
McCullough pointed out Cumberland University developed a unique relationship with the 1st Brigade when McGee served as a guest speaker at the universitys May 8 ceremony honoring World War II veterans who participated in the Tennessee Maneuvers from 1941 to 1944.

The Arcade, a fixture of the Lebanon Public Square since 1904, is the subject of a major renovation project being spearheaded by the structures new owners Mike Manous and Hal Bone.
Acquired from Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy McCullough, the Arcade, situated in the southeast corner of the Square adjacent to what is now Cuzs Antiques, is a historical landmark for the city having once served as a location for a Kuhns department store, a number of doctors offices, and the meeting place for civic clubs.
The new owners plan to bring back as much as possible of theArcades original design.
There was a major break-through this week in the construction project when workers uncovered the original limestone arch that served as the entrance to the Arcade area.

In addition to the annual Autumn & Friends golf tournament, organizers of the tournament are holding a party prior to the event with music, fun and a mini-silent auction to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
This marks the third year of the Autumn & Friends charity tournament, which has raised $28,000 for the CF Foundation in its first two years. One of the events organizers, Vera Smith, said the goal this year is $25,000.
Gary Bennett began raising money for the CF Foundation after his daughter Autumn, lost her struggle with Cystic Fibrosis in 1997. In 2010, Bennett, who admits he is not a golfer, decided to add the charity tournament to expand the fundraising.But new this year is the party to be held at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 15, at the Music City Bar & Grill, which was the idea of the restaurants owner, Blake Kolvrig. Music City Bar & Grill is located at 2416 Music Valley Drive in Nashville.

Recoveringand rebuilding with help from Sherrys Run
Its a parents dream to see her children on their own, successful and working, in college and building their own future. Its unexpected for that parent to suddenly be forced into a battle against cancer, unable to work and have her life going backward, but thats what happened to Heather Bailey when she got the news in late 2011.
Heather is the single mother of three adult children, becoming single again in 2011. That summer she had to move out of her beautiful log cabin home in Watertown and into an apartment in Mt. Juliet. Her oldest daughter graduated from Cumberland University in May, her son Nick enrolled there and played football on a scholarship while working two jobs, and her youngest daughter is following Heathers footsteps at MTSUs School of Nursing.
In October of that year, Heather was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a bi-lateral mastectomy. It was a year of changes and transitions, both full of blessings and bad news.Heather began chemotherapy in early spring 2012, but she was unable to maintain her workload at Kindred Health Care in Nashville an ironic twist to a devastating diagnosis. Heather took FMLA (Family and Medical Leave), received short term disability but was unable to qualify for State aid. Her income dropped dramatically, so she cut her expenses disconnecting cable TV, Internet, home telephone and cutting corners where she could.

This is a little different from the proposals so far, but if there's enough interest I'd love to have a session where we discuss the relationship between gaming, medieval-style fantasy, and childhood/children's culture. I'm a newcomer to studying games, but my work on medievalism and children's literature has often brought me back to this curious threesome. Some possible topics include:
- Playing, role-playing, and gaming
- Games as potentially and explicitly didactic
- War, magic, and history as spaces of play
- Infantilization of fantasy and gaming culture
- Transmedia fantasy universes
I have little gaming experience myself, so I'd have to rely on everyone's expertise for discussions of specific games, especially the digital kind! Depending on the interests of the group we could work towards certain outcomes to help keep the conversation focused. A few ideas:
- Examples of "children's," "adult," and "crossover" fantasy games, with identifying characteristics (how are they categorized, and who categorizes them?) and related texts/products in other media
- A working bibliography of relevant criticism and theory
- The outline for an easy-to-use (and easy-to-modify) game that we could play in the classroom to help students experience and discuss key questions around gaming, medievalisms, genre, and/or children's culture. (An RPG? Would some existing games would work well?)
- A set of possible discussion questions to go with said game(s)

Blue-ringed octopus
|Blue-ringed octopus
|Scientific Classification
The Blue ringed octopus is one of the most deadly marine creatures, using venom to paralyze prey and camouflage to hide. The Blue ringed octopus is mainly found on the coast of Australia. Although small they stand out because of the bright blue rings it flashes when enraged or scared. There are three different species of the octopus, varying only slightly by size. Each carry venom and blue rings.
Octopus' consist of three main parts, mantle cavity, foot, and visceral mass. The mantle cavity consists of a very fine tissue that covers a majority of the mollusks body. The visceral mass consist of the body main internal organs. The foot is a strong part of the body that is split into tentacles used for grabbing prey and swimming. Octopus' have a radial symmetry which means it can be divided into equal halves more than two times. The word Cephalopod means "head-footed" which means that the body is just a head and a foot. An octopus' body has no bones and no out side shell to protect it causing them to hide and use different methods of protection such as camouflage. Having no bones can be good enabling the octopus to squeeze into tight spaces and hunt for food or hide.(Prentice Hall,706-707) The eyes of this octopus are highly developed. Octopus' have excellent eyesight in fact their eye is like ours but they have and inverted retina meaning that the lens shape stays the same as the retina moves to gain focus.[1] Octopus' are very intelligent and have a very well developed brain that takes the shape of a donut. The octopus has three hearts that are placed in the middle and over each gill. Each gill sits in the mantle along with all the other organs.[2] The octopus uses a form of jet propulsion to move around. They accomplished this by forcing water out of a siphon which they can move in different directions to swim head or foot first. [3]
Internal fertilization occurs in the octopus' breeding habits.[4] The male octopus when mating gets on the females back almost covering all of her body except her tentacles. Then he places a packet of sperm into the females oviduct. Where they form eggs, which she lays and protects. The male octopus when mating gets on the females back almost covering all of her body except her tentacles. Then he places a packet of sperm into the females oviduct. Where they form eggs which she lays and protects. The female octopus lays 50-100 eggs once these eggs hatch the mother octopus dies from starvation. [5]To win his mate over the octopus creates displays of color and body expansion. Chemicals are also released into the water as stimulants and hormones. Flashes of color and chemicals seem to be a way of communicating between mates and others of their own species. All patterns are shown on one side of the acting male as not to make other male octopus' curious as to whats going on.[6]
The blue ringed octopus is mainly found on the Australian coast and on Japan's coast, in shallow tide pools that range from 1 to 20 meters deep, hunting for prey. The main diet of a Blue-ringed octopus consists of small crabs, shrimp and other tiny crustaceans . [7] The octopus bites it's prey and injects a toxin through it's saliva . This toxins quickly paralyzes the prey and enables the octopus to consume the animal with is sharp beak. [8] Though the octopus has bitten people it has only resulted in three known deaths. The octopus usually only bites if it is provoked in some way or another. The people bitten almost always fully recover. [9]
The venom used by the Blue Ringed Octopus is used for paralysis and defense. Neurotoxins target the nervous system of an organism often causing paralysis and restriction of muscle use. Neurotoxins are usually transmitted by poison glands or saliva. Paralysis aids in consumption, often the octopus' prey is still alive during consumption. Tetrodotoxin, the kind of neurotoxin found in the blue ringed Octopus, blocks sodium channels. This neurotoxin is very lethal and can kill even a human if they do receive proper treatment.
Scientists hope to use these highly lethal neurotoxins to their advantage. The only use so far found in tetrodotoxin is it's ability to be used as an anesthetic. Tetrodotoxin has the ability to work very quickly and last for long periods of time. In one experiment on a rabbit a 10mm injection worked for eight hours. The power of this neurotoxin is hoped to be tapped for many medical uses.[10]
