Yes, you heard it right. Just like women, men too could have ''male menopause''.

According to an earlier American study, as many as one in five males over the age of 65 could be experiencing symptoms of this condition, which include low libido, irritability, tiredness, weight gain, sweating, aches and pains.

Medically, the male menopause is referred to as andropause - which implies the decline in the sex hormones (androgens) of men - namely testosterone.

At the moment the young mother to be is being cared for at Birmingham Women''s Hospital but will be transferred to another in London for the procedure.

London, Nov 23 : Britain''s Supreme Cat Show saw a huge turn out on November 22, as cats of different breeds and sizes were paraded by their doting owners.

The cats are so pampered that they were seen spending most of the time dozing off in their own beds with downy duvets and embroidered pillows, which is a big difference from dogs or pony shows.

Added to their comfy sleeping arrangements were toys, music, mini-fans to keep them cool and mirrors to remind them of how gorgeous they were, with no activities included to show their talents off.

It was a surprising discovery as normal cats have five toes on their front paws, and four at the back, but the jet-black cat had seven toes on each of her front feet and six on each of her back ones.

London, Nov 23 : Computers, handheld media players, cell phones and cameras, will soon have massive amounts of storage, all thanks to researchers at Rice University who have developed a new type of memory using a strip of graphite only 10 atoms thick as its basic element.

In the study, Rice professor James Tour and colleagues have described a solid-state device that harnesses the conducting properties of graphene.

In Tour''s opinion, such a device would score over today''s state-of-the-art flash memory and other new technologies.
