Scientists say early experiments suggest it may one day be possible to make babies without using eggs.
They have succeeded in creating healthy baby mice by tricking sperm into believing they were fertilising normal eggs.
The findings in Nature Communications , could, in the distant future, mean women can be removed from the baby-making process, say the researchers.
For now, the work helps to explain some of the details of fertilisation.
End of mum and dad?
The University of Bath scientists started with an unfertilised egg in their experiments.
They used chemicals to trick it into becoming a pseudo-embryo.
These "fake" embryos share much in common with ordinary cells, such as skin cells, in the way they divide and control their DNA.
The researchers reasoned that if injecting sperm into mouse pseudo-embryos could produce healthy babies, then it might one day be possible to achieve a similar result in humans using cells that are not from eggs.
In the mouse experiments, the odds of achieving a successful pregnancy was one in four.
Dr Tony Perry, one of the researchers, told the BBC News website: "This is the first time that anyone has been able to show that anything other than an egg can combine with a sperm in this way to give rise to offspring.
"It overturns nearly 200 years of thinking."
Those baby mice were healthy, had a normal life expectancy and had healthy pups of their own.
Fertilisation
The goal of the researchers is to understand the exact mechanisms of fertilisation because what happens when a sperm fuses with an egg is still a bit of a mystery.
For example, the egg completely strips the sperm's DNA of all its chemical clothing and re-dresses it.
That stops the sperm behaving like a sperm and makes it act like an embryo, but how the "costume change" takes place is not clear.
Removing the need for an egg could have a wider impact on society.
Dr Perry said: "One possibility, in the distant future, is that it might be possible that ordinary cells in the body can be combined with a sperm so that an embryo is formed."
In other words, two men could have a child, with one donating an ordinary cell and the other, sperm.
Or one man could have his own child using his own cells and sperm - with that child being more like a non-identical twin than a clone.
Dr Perry stressed that such scenarios were still "speculative and fanciful" at this stage.
Earlier this year in China, scientists were able to
make sperm from stem cells and then fertilise an egg to produce healthy mice.
Dr Perry suggested that combining the two fields of research may eventually do without the need for sperm and eggs altogether.
Prof Robin Lovell-Badge, from the Francis Crick Institute, commented: "I'm not surprised that the authors are excited about this.
"I think it is a very interesting paper, and a technical tour de force and I am sure it will tell us something important about reprogramming at these early steps of development that are relevant to both fertilisation and single cell nuclear transfer [cloning].
"And, perhaps more broadly, about reprogramming of cell fate in other situations.
"It doesn't yet tell us how, but the paper gives a number of clear pointers."

From page 0-5, I only learnt one thing, Nigerians home and abroad will always show thesame trait ##they always show off.

This has always been a source of controversy for long.
Both players have been exceptional and only a few select has achieved close to what this too have achieved.
But the debate on who the best is out of the two players will still linger on at least.

So here are five reasons why Messi is better than Ronaldo

1.Individual accolades:


Although Ronaldo has closed the gap on Messi over the past few years, the Barcelona maestro still has more individual awards to his name.





The Argentine ace has an astonishing 5 Ballon d’Or awards trumping Ronaldo’s 3. Messi is also the only player to have laid his hands on the coveted trophy on 4 consecutive occasions between 2009 and 2012.


Leo Messi has been named the European Player of the Year on 3 occasions, eclipsing Ronaldo by 1. Messi also received the Golden Ball award in the 2014 World Cup and was named LFP League Player of the Year on 6 occasions.

Overall, Messi has a total of 44 individual awards, 2 more than the Portuguese ace.


2.Dribbling, technical ability and decision making :


While Ronaldo relies on his physical ability and heading prowess, the little magician is by far the better player with the ball at his feet. Impossible to tackle when on the ball, Messi has consistently scored goals by dribbling past more than 4-5 players in a single attempt.

raziboi:
Bro ma account has been on "awaiting approval " since two weeks.... Wat caused it? Or is it normal...

It might take up to that time frame to get approval. It depends on the number of applications they get per day. Some are approved 2 days after submitting application and some have to wait 2-3 weeks.

But first make sure you check your junk mail and spam to be sure they have not sent you a mail

I have spent so much time on the webmaster section and I must admit the major issues discussed most pertains to adsense.
Many of us have applied and have been rejected but that hasnt stop us from re-appling.
The major problems about re-applying is that it is generally believed you can not apply with thesame email that was once rejected.
But that is not totally true as i did re-apply with thesame email I used to apply at first and was rejected.
Now how do you manoeuvre your way to use the same email address to apply for the second time with thesame web address.

Note: If you are sure you have made all necessary corrections to problems that Google pointed as reasons why they disapproved you, then you can follow these steps.

I will guide you through these simple steps.
Now

-Log in to your blogger account with that same email that was rejected

-Go to earnings tab and click on it

--You will see a message that this adsense account has been dissaproved.

-Now just scroll down and look where your publisher Id is, you will see a link with "switch adsense account"

-click on the "switch adsense account" link

-Now google adsense will ask you to sign in or create new account

-Click on sign in... ( you will see a message that the adsense account associated with that email has been disapproved, dont worry about this)

-You will see a link beside that disapproval warning like this "google/adsense"

-Click on the link "google/adsense"

And that is all, a page will be opened for you to put in your web address.

I hope this piece helped someone

The portugese was just awarded the European player of the year for the second time in his career, and his fellow portugese has reckoned he could join Barcelona.

Our nigerian actors and actresses will take to the social media to showcase their houses, cars, clothes and shoes, yet, when one of their fellows needed their help, they would be no where to be found.

– Joe Fortemose Chinakwe, a trader in Ogun state has been arrested for naming his dog Buhari
– According to the report, Chinakwe told his friend to kill the dog and eat the meat as his accuser and his kinsmen reportedly threatened to kill the trader if he was released on bail
A dog was named Buhari
Joe Fortemose Chinakwe, a trader in Ogun state has been arrested for naming his dog Buhari.
Chinakwe was arrested after one of his neighbours of Northern extraction complained bitterly that he named his dog after his father, Alhaji Buhari.
According to Vanguard, Chinakwe told his friend to kill the dog and eat the meat as his accuser and his kinsmen reportedly threatened to kill the trader if he was released on bail.
A relation to the suspect, identified as Chiedozie, said Chinakwe was being persecuted for no just cause and expressed fears that he may either be poisoned inside police cell or thrown into jail.
“Chinakwe is a lover of dogs and he names them after things that tickle him. He bought this dog a year ago and named it Buhari. Unfortunately, some Northerners, who dominate the vicinity where he resides misconstrued his intention and connived to take him up. The complainant then claimed it was derogatory because his father answers Buhari.”
But a police source said “he not only named the dog Buhari but boldly wrote it on the body of both sides of the dog and was seen parading the neighbourhood dominated by Northerners with it.”
Confirming the arrest of the trader, the acting Police spokesman in Ogun state, Abimbola Oyeyemi said he was still trying to get the Divisional Police Officer in-charge of Sango for details.
“I have made enquiries. The man bought a dog and inscribed Buhari on both sides of its body. One Mallam lodged a complaint and when our men got there, we found out that it was true. You know such thing can cause serious breach of the peace and ethnic or religious unrest. We are charging him to court for conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.”
He added that; “He was arrested last Saturday and we are taking him to court later today (Tuesday) or tomorrow morning (today). You know an average Northerner will feel bad over such a thing. It can cause serious ethnic crisis or religious confrontation because when you are relegating such a name to a certain person, you are indirectly insulting him.”
But the spokesman said the dog will be used as evidence against the suspect; “The dog cannot follow anybody except the owner. We will use him as our evidence because he did not deny it.”

Eddlad:
I have to say and surprised, really more like disappointed, you read the bible through and through,several instances where Jesus resurrected the dead, God created everything out of nothing and this is what puzzled you?

How did you believe everything else the bible wrote?

I have heard you.Now answer the questions

Movie is not real,it is full tricks

favourboy1:
(1) yes, bible stated that Gnd created the univers, so the moon, mars, venus and the rest where created by God.

(2) i would answer you by saying how is it possible for we in nigeria to see the sun and the moon at the same time.

Okay,but non of your answers have answered the first question

Danhumprey:
To answer your 2nd question,you're making the mistake of viewing Jesus through the eyes of mortal human being. I am sure you have heard the Bible say that God is omnipresent (that is, God is everywhere). And we are told that Jesus is God, so Jesus is capable of standing in the sky and all the sincere born again/sanctified saints will be drawn to him in the sky like a magnet from every corner of the globe. Jesus won't have to be everywhere before the saints can be raptured.

I like this answer.I will go with this..Now back to the first question

Mod please take this thing to front page abeg.l need people's answers

To point out first, I am not an atheist and l dont
plan becoming one. But there are questions that have been giving me sleepless night since l became aware of the words of the bible.
I had painstakenly read the whole bible from genesis through to revelation,but there are two questions l have been wanting answers to,which most preachers and christians have not been able to answer to my satisfaction.
Why l am putting it on this forum today is to read people's view on the matter,and perhaps,l can get genuine and unbias answers.
These are the questions
1) The bible made mention of the fact that,at the end time,the trumpet shall be blown and the son of God would come back to pick his obedient followers.
We all know we are at an advanced technology age where astronauts now visit moon,mars,venus,and the rest.What would happen to me if per adventure l am on one of these planets when the trumpet would be sounded?,Will l also hear the trumpet? and if yes,are you saying moon,venus,mars are part of the world the bible reffered?
2)The bible said at the coming of christ,the heaven shall be torn up and the whole world would see the son of man(Jesus christ) coming with a host of angels.
Now how possible is this? because looking up to the sky,l can only see a fraction of the whole sky,how possible would it be for someone in canada to see Jesus coming from the sky at the same time as someone in Nigeria? or is it possible that he would appear in multiple places in the sky at the same time?
please answer

magicminister:
Yes!! An ex cultist that partied and smokes his way through school. Made a 2.2, was jobless for sometime, paid his dues and got his life together. Now a multi millionaire with Forbes list ambition. Got a problem with that?

Bro! happy you found your way. And if you are gonna give people advice next time,think very well.Not every cultist would get lucky like you do.Just ask O'Brien,and that is if he can be available to answer you.
And beside where is your sense of humor?

magicminister:
See the way all the girls dey call am hunny pie... Lol.
He was probably a bucaneer.
In all honesty, i condemn cultism and all that comes with it but i also understand that its all part of youthful exuberance.
Smoking, drinking, partying.. we all made those mistakes and then outgrew them and got our lives back on track.

A good percentage of guys in public schools belong to one cult or another. That doesn't mean they are bad people. Just means they are misguided.

I will always discourage people from joining one but if u happen to find yourself in one, please no carry am for head.
Bully all those small small boys but never ever go robbing, kidnapping or rape a woman or carry concealed weapons in public.
Once you start doing the aforementioned, then your days are truly numbered.

Just party and drink and smoke and when u graduate with your 2.2. or third class, your eyes will clear and you will be begging for a second chance to set things right.

Ex-cultist spotted.. Mod do your job
