CLONING

There are a lot of interesting things about cloning. This is what I found this morning.
1. What is cloning?
Cloning means making a living thing from another living thing such as a plant or animal. The process uses the genes of the first so they both have identical DNA.
2. Can people be cloned?
announcement by an American company that it has created a human embryo clone is being viewed as both an incredible scientific achievement and a dangerous step. This is not the first time such a claim has been made.
3. The cloned cat
an in the US has paid $50,000 (£26,000) for Little Nicky, the first ever cat cloned to be someone's pet.
He looks just like any other nine-week old kitten, but Little Nicky was created from the DNA of another much-loved pet, also called Nicky.
The original cat died last year aged 17 and his owner Julie decided she'd rather have a clone than a new one.
Julie says the new Nicky is just like the old one, both in the way he looks and his personality. The world's first cloned cat has turned out very different from her mum, scientists have said. Copy Cat or Carbon Copy as she's also known, was born just over a year ago. Her genetic mum is Rainbow and their DNA is exactly the same. This means they should be exactly the same as each other.
4.The first pet cloned is a cat
Researchers in Texas have cloned a domestic cat, producing a two-month-old kitten called Copycat. The work is described in the scientific journal Nature and is the first time anyone has cloned a pet.
5. Is cloning right?
ning can be seen as lifesaving science. On the other hand it's often criticized for interfering with the creation of life.
6.What is the problem with cloning?
About 98% of cloning efforts fail. Usually a cloned embryo dies before birth but sometimes afterwards too. Most of the survivors have potentially fatal heart or lung problems or diseases like diabetes.
7.Why clone animals?
Animals or plants with special qualities could be mass produced to help in the manufacture of important drugs. You could replace pets which have died or even repopulate endangered or extinct species.
8.Does cloning work?
In 1997 Dolly the sheep became the first ever cloned mammal. Scientists in Scotland used a new type of technique. When Dolly was born months later,
It had taken 276 tries to get it right. Since Dolly cows, pigs, monkeys, rodents, cats, mules and horses have been cloned.
9.Isn’t it unnatural?
Cloning isn't new. Nature's been doing it for billions of years with plants. Things like potatoes and grass send out shoots which can grow into a whole new plant. If you grow a plant from a cutting it's a type of cloning. And identical twins are naturally-occurring clones of each other even though they're genetically different from their parents.

ENRON

Enron was born in 1985. Kenneth Lay, combined his company,
Houston Natural Gas, with another natural-gas pipeline to form
Enron. In July 5 2006 Ken Lay, 64, dies of a heart attack at a family home in Aspen, Colo. In Oct.ober 23 2006 Former Enron chief executive officer Jeffrey Skilling is sentenced to 24 years, four months in jail for his role in the collapse. In October 17 2006 A U.S. judge throws out the criminal convictions of Kenneth Lay because he died before he could appeal his case. In September 26 2006 Andrew Fastow, Enron's former chief financial officer, is sentenced to six years in prison. He could have been given up to 10 years, but the judge notes his guilty plea and his co-operation with authorities, saying "These factors call for mercy."

Michael Jackson's Biography




MY IDOL MICHAEL JACKSON



Michael Joseph Jackson was born on 29th of August 1958 in Gary, Indiana. He has five brothers- Sigmund "Jackie", Toriano "Tito", Jermaine, Marlon, Steven "Randy", and three sisters- Rebbie, Janet and La-Toya Jackson. He started his musical career when he was only five with the groop JACKSON 5 togeather with his brothers Jermaine. Tito, Jackie and Marlon. He was the lead singer in this groop but the most famous. They had very good songs. As his talent grous up he wanted to make his own career. He made his first film debut when he starred in the musical 'The Wiz' playing Scarecrow with Diana Ross in the lead role of Dorothy in 1977. In 1982 Michael Jackson released the world's largest selling album of all time, 'Thriller'. This album produced 7 hit singles, breaking yet again more records, and went on to sell over 50 million copies worldwide. Michael wanted. to change the colour of his face. That is why he made a lot of operations, but the singer says that he has made only two plastic operations. Michael married Lisa Marie Presley, daughter Elvis Presley in 1944. Their marriage only lasted for 19 months, and they divorced in 1996. In 1995 he realised a fifth solo album 'History'. This album was double album. In November in 1996 Michael married for his second time with a nurse-Debbie Rowe. Togeather they had their first child Prince Michael Joseph Jackson and a daughter Paris Michael Katherine Jackson. And the second Michael's marriage wasn't something special because later they divorced. Than he had third child, but Michael don't want to tell who is the child's mum. In 1997 Michael released the album 'Blood on the dancefloor'. There were 5 new songs and the 38min film 'Ghosts'. In September, 2001 Michael celebrated his 30th anniversary as a solo artist with two concerts to be held in New York, USA. Many artists such as Whitney Houston, Usher, Destinys Child, Shaggy and many more performed there own and Michael Jacksons past songs. In October 2001 Michael released the album 'Invincible' so far releasing only 2 singles including the big hit "You Rock My World". With hard work and with increrible songs, spots and concerts Michael get a lot a fans around the world. He become a king of pop and a true legend which the world will never forget. He is a good person. That we can see in his humans attempt to help the sick children to be health and to help them heal the world. There were writen really bad things about the king of pop in many magasines. They said that Michael maltreat littel kinds and that he has rape them. But of course it wasn't true. The kids's parents accused Michael so he was in a lawcourt of justice a long time. But at the end Michael prove that in was injustice. Now he is free but very shamed. I think that the envy people shouldn't made this to Michael. He is very good person and he will never do something like this. I hope that he will continue to sing and prove everyone that Michael Jackson is not dead.
