Boy band The Vamps to play at RedFestDXB



Hot on the heels of the news that Adam Lambert will perform at RedFestDXB in February, organisers have announced The Vamps, one of the UK’s biggest boy bands, will also be performing.

The Vamps released their debut album a year ago and have since had five top 10 hits in the UK, along with a flurry of sold-out arena shows.

The Vamps will join Lambert, 50 Cent, Rita Ora, Eva Simons, MistaJam and other yet-to-be-announced acts at RedFestDXB on February 11 and 12.

Preregister for the event, held at the Dubai Media City Amphitheatre, at www.redfestdxb.com

Dr Amal Khalid Alias revealed a recent case of a woman with daughters, who specifically wanted a boy.

A semen analysis of the father showed abnormal sperm so the couple required IVF.

Out of 21 eggs collected, six were unused leaving 15 suitable for IVF.

A specific procedure was used, called intracytoplasmic sperm injection where a single sperm cell is inserted into the egg.

On day three of the process, 14 embryos were biopsied for gender selection.

The next day, a pre-implantation genetic report revealed four normal male embryos, three female and seven abnormal samples.

Day five of the treatment saw two male embryos transferred to the patient.

The woman recorded a positive pregnancy test two weeks later.

What is graphene?

Graphene is extracted from graphite and is made up of pure carbon.

It is 200 times more resistant than steel and five times lighter than aluminum.

It conducts electricity better than any other material at room temperature.

It is thought that graphene could boost the useful life of batteries by 10 per cent.

Graphene can also detect cancer cells in the early stages of the disease.

The material was first discovered when Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov were 'playing' with graphite at the University of Manchester in 2004.
