Men may be able to make babies without women....

Now men may be able to make babies without women, through a technology that could for the first time allow same sex couples to have their own genetic children.

In a technology developed to help in preserving endangered species and improving livestock breeds, scientists have, for the first time, developed an offspring from two males.

In a way, this renders null and void, the arguments by anti-gay activists that only opposite sexes lead to procreation. But not all will be lost to potential mothers as a female will be required to carry the pregnancy to term.

Using cell technology, scientists in the US say it is also possible to develop an offspring from one male, though this will need some time to refine.

Jamhuri Day....miaka 47 sasa

Wakenya hapo Kesho tunaadhimisha makala ya 47 ya sherehe za Jamhuri. Itakuwa ni siku ya kipekee ikizingatiwa kuwa hii ni adhimisho la kwanza chini ya katiba mpya. Mbali ya ile feeling ya sherehe, lazima tujiulize tunajivunia nini miaka hii yote. Rais Mwai Kibaki na Waziri mKuu Raila Odinga wataongonza sherehe hizo katika uwanja wa Nyayo. Linalonikera ni kwamba wakati tukiadhimisha Jamhuri day ni kuwa shughuli ya utekelezaji wa katiba kufikia sasa imekwama kutokana na mzozo wa maeneo bunge. Sio haki kwa wanasiasa kusimamisha shughuli ya utekelezaji wa katiba kwa sababu ya matakwa yao ya kibinafsi, wanapaswa kutekeleza majukumu tuliyowapa. Naomba kwamba katiba hotuba zao, viongonzi hao wawili watawashurutisha wabunge kuzika tofauti zao na kuitekeleza katiba. Jamhuri dei njema.

Human Rights Day.....

Wakati Kenya inajiunga na ulimwengu katika kuadhimisha siku ya haki za binadamu hapo kesho, ni dhahiri kuwa Kenya tumepiga hatua katika kupigania haki za binadamu. kupitishwa kwa katiba mpya ni dhihirisho tosha kuwa wakenya wako tayari kutetea haki zao kwani vipengee vingi katika katiba hiyo vinazingatia haki za binadamu. hakuna njia nyingine ambayo Kenya tungepata haki zetu bila sheria thabiti za kuzingatia haki za binadamu nchini isipokuwa kwa kupitishwa kwa katiba hiyo. hata hivyo tatizo kubwa ambalo taifa hili linafaa kujiondoa kabisa ni  kubaguana kikabila ili kuhakikisha kuwa kila mkenya amepata haki sawa katika kila nyanja huku tukinyoshea kidole cha lawama viongozi serikalini kwa kuendeleza uovu huo. Wakenya tusimame tupigane na ubaguzi.

Kwa nini Kenya hatuwezi kuzalisha ARV

Taarifa za hivi punde kuwa huenda mataifa ya Bara ulaya yakaingia katika mikataba na India katika kuzalisha dawa za kupungunza makali ya HIV ni kero kubwa na habari za kusikitisha kwa bara Afrika na Kenya kwa jumla. Ina maana kwamba huenda mataifa yanayotegemea dawa hizi kutoka nje, zikalazimika kuongenza gharama yake. Kwetu hapa Kenya, waathiriwa wa ugonjwa wa ukimwi wamekuwa wakipokea tembe hizo kwa bei ya chini lakini hali hii huenda ikabadilika kufuatia uamuzi wa hapo kesho. India ni moja wapo ya mataifa ambayo yanazalisha kiwango cha juu cha dawa hizo na endapo itatia sahini mikataba na mataifa ya bara ulaya ina maana kwamba uwezekano wa kupatikana kwa dawa hizo huenda ukaathirika. Monique Tondo ni afisa wa afya kutoka shirika la madakatari wasiokuwa na mipaka ya watu wanaoishi na virusi vya HIV yanayotegemea kuwepo kwa ARV na anasema kuwa huenda mkataba huo ukazidisha gharama ya ARV. Hii ni changamoto kwa mataifa ya bara Afrika kutafakari mbinu za kuzalisha dawa hizi ili kukabiliana na maambukizi ya virusi vya HIV. Hakika mnyongee hana haki, lakini tusizoee kukubali hali hii ya unyonge...sisi pia tuna uwezo. Ebo! jioni poa

why you should not smoke

Tobacco is an industry, producing six trillion cigarettes a year – about 1,000 cigarettes for each person on earth. And this is what you’ll find in cigarettes:

~ Formaldehyde, which embalmer use to preserve dead bodies;
~ Toluene, which is commonly used as an ingredient in paint thinner;
~ Acetone, an active ingredient in nail polish remover;
~ Ammonia, which scientists have discovered lets you absorb more nicotine, keeping you hooked on smoking.
If you smoke, you and those around you also inhaling arsenic, benzene, cadmium, hydrogen cyanide, lead, mercury and phonol. In all, 4000 harmful chemicals, including 44 types of poison, of which 43 are proven cancer-causing substances. That should be reason enough why a person should stop smoking immediately.

Bad business
Life insurance companies charge smokers nearly double the amount they charge non-smokers for term assurance. Some tobacco companies also own shares in life assurance companies. What appears to be a good deal for tobacco companies is a bad deal for taxpayers: the health care costs caused directly by smoking, and the lost economic productivity, cost governments up to three times as much as the total earnings of the tobacco industry.

Death
Smokers are ten times more likely to suffer from lung cancer than non-smokers, three times more likely to have a stroke, and twice more likely to suffer a heart attack. Carbon monoxide in cigarettes deprives the heart of oxygen. Smoking can cause headaches, infertility, blood vessel disease, digestive problems, mouth and throat cancer, and blindness.
Tobacco causes more deaths than those caused by all the wars of the past 100 years, including World Wars One and Two. More than three million people die each year as a result of smoking.
Nicotine is a drug. It is more addictive than cocaine, heroine or mandrax. Nicotine is a natural insecticide. Plants such as tomatoes produce it in their leaves to discourage bugs from eating them.

Stop smoking
After 8 hours, the carbon monoxide in your blood drops to normal.
After 48 hours, nerve endings start regrowing and the ability to smell and taste is enhanced.
After a year, the risk of heart disease drops halfway back to that of a non-smoker.
After 15 years, the risk of coronary heart disease is that of a non-smoker.

Mtandao wa WikiLeaks...na yaliyomo

Kufichuliwa kwa yaliyomo katika Mtandao wa Wikileaks hakutaathiri uhusiano wa Marekani na Kenya. Haya yamesemwa na Mbunge Gitobu Imanyara. Imanyara anasema kuwa hatua hii ni muhimu kwa kenya kwani viongonzi wafisadi wamefichuliwa. Aidha, kwa imanyara wakenya watajua ni viongonzi gani ambao watachagua katika uchaguzi wa 2012. hata hivyi mataifa mengine sijui yatachukulia vipi taarifa hizi:

What some US diplomats had to say about their “friends”:

French President Sarkozy is “thin-skinned,” have an “authoritarian personal style” and is “an emperor with no clothes”

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is “feckless, vain and ineffective as a modern European leader”

Andrew Windsor, a British prince, is “cocky” and “bordering on rude”


British Prime Minister Gordon Brown was described as “weak” and “unstable”

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is “risk-averse and rarely creative”

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is “like Hitler”

North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong-il is a “flabby old man”

Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai is “driven by paranoia”

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev is a “pale and apprehensive man” and is “Robin” to Vladimir Putin’s “Batman”

Hillary Clinton views Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin as a “behind-the-scenes puppeteer”
